Yes, you're all outside the political box because you have free will and are autonomous, man.The Commish said:Me too
Of course to the people who cant think outside the construct of "sides" we are liberal commie pinkos simply for the bold.
Im glad you approve. I thought his stance was a good one about where people may sit on the spectrum. But yes...by all means continue insulting those who may have found it a good post.
It was a terrible post.
If your goal is to get this handle axed as well...you are well on your way, congrats.
There was nothing personal about what I said. It's a disagreement with a statement I found facile.
Thanks but I’ll pass on your labels. It doesn’t offend me to be labeled a left-winger as you are trying to do - it’s just wrong.
I think this is fair criticism- for my part, I only have really big issues with people who voted for him in the primaries - he never should have come close to the Presidency and those folks really screwed the rest of the country. Once he was the nominee it was a foregone conclusion millions would vote for him. I don’t think they should have but I at least understand why they think they needed to.
This reminds me of a question I had for @The Commish - not to put you on the spot but what is your take on athletes doing this? I know you have strong opinions on flag usage.
Made a comment to my son as we were watching that i didnt like it....never have. Ive seen people throw flags down to athletes that then pick them up off the ground....drives me nuts
Lots of bad fishing. We know strangers better than the strangers know themselves....duh
Do they though?
This "inner commie pinko lefty" reply and surrounding discussion belongs in the "inner republican" thread. And if it gets us commie medicine and we redistribute enough for a UBI then call me whatever you want.
I’m kind of using it wrong, really. Just lazy today. Well, technically it might be right, but not perfect. An aphorism is generally a short observation delivered pithily. This isn’t really that. My bad. I’m tired and grumpy to boot.
a duck is a duck regardless of how it identifies. This is how budding fascists on the right and commies on the left hide.
Youre trying way too hard. I guess i should sit back and just watch the show, but its a bit uncomfortable.woodstock said:
Anytime somebody posts that they "feel" a certain way about something, and those "feelings" consistently match up with a political party's positions, it's no accident they get labeled that way. And they should be called that. They generally vote that way, like AAA Batteries supporting third-party candidates from the left or Sanders. He's a lefty, through and through.
I’m guessing the KD flag snap didn’t go over well in your house?The Commish said:
Agreed, why ensure you are in an echo chamber in a forum that is already 90% one way. Don’t get it.
I'm not really worried. He can continue unabated and opine declaratively about his "feelings." He says I don't know what I'm talking about. Try a poli sci degree (minor) but with seminar, a law school degree, and five years in D.C. in politics. That's about the level of how much I don't know what I'm talking about.
That's more like saying one programs in BASIC because it was en vogue at the time and it's practicable now. If one was ahead of their time, then one just is. One should still know the basics of C+++ if one could program in it back then.
I agree with much of what you said about political identity. That is why I think this belongs in Joe's thread and not here. However, I don't agree with this. These guys might have drifted to the left but the aren't "dyed-in-the-wool" lefties. They certainly bring a lot of conservative sensibilities (i.e. nonsense) along with them that make us "card carrying" guys cringe all the time. So maybe more like the political equivalent of nouveau riche.
Using C++ in the early 90s wasn't being ahead of my time, it was a way to automate job tasks I didn't want to do. That job has evolved a bit since then. So no longer fluent in that. Think I would need a bit of time to be refresh my 6502 machine language skills also. Now VBA meant BASIC would remain relatively constant.
{
if (X == "IGNORANT")
printf("WILLFULLY OBNOXIOUS");
printf("I'm out.");
} I've been in the bourgeois bohemian world and the activist academia world, actually. Not old money. That's different than what I've experienced. Growing up around Western Massachusetts with Mount Holyoke, Smith, and Elms College (three radical women's colleges) plus Trinity and Wesleyan in the area I was close to in CT will do that. It shapes politics because I've seen the more radical left for thirty plus years as a youth and adult have their policies, largely enacted through school boards because the populace is too blue collar for actual laws to be changed, come to fruition in curriculum, and therefore, thought. That's the best way to explain my contrarianism. I have no real problem with the non-communist, older Democrats before 1968. It's what came after on the radical fringes that slipped into mainstream political thought that is my main problem. I think the biggest problem began in the early seventies with radical feminism, but that might be for a different time and place. A lot of nasty ideology sprung from it, especially identity and personal meddling of the political into the personal, like we see today.
Thank you for the compliment. One good turn deserves another, but I don't want to overdo it. Suffice it to say I think your temperament on the boards is exemplary and befits a fine man. So thanks, GB.
Missed that one. No idea what youre talkjng about, but probably rightI’m guessing the KD flag snap didn’t go over well in your house?
Apparently it was rock - some weird schtick but whatever.The Commish said:
