Gromnir

God hates the Chargers that may be a reasonable explanation. like every nfl team, the chargers have been hit with key injuries early in this season. am tending to blame the early-season injuries the last couple years on the cba and limits placed on off-season/pre-season conditioning and practice. regardless, the chargers have been hit by injuries, but not more than other teams... such as the vikings. the chargers is just... weird. philip rivers is a great qb just as long as the team is way ahead or has no chance o' winning. in close games, rivers is preternatural likely to make a bonehead mistake. is unnatural. is not as if the chargers is the worstest turnover team in the league, but the timing o' their turnovers is, again, unnatural. if games ended after 3 quarters, the chargers would be a perennial playoff contender, but their 4th quarter collapses is unnatural. chargers need to change the culture o' the team. figure out how to do that w/o firing a coach this early in the season is a tough task... and am not believing that getting a new coach would fix the problems. perhaps god does hate the chargers. am honest at a loss for a better explanation. HA! Good Fun!

am much regretting our bmw suv purchase. am almost constant facing minor-to-major electrical issues that cannot be diagnosed by one such as Gromnir who is baffled by any vehicle w/o a distributor. we would avoid the x3 and/or x5 in the future. HA! Good Fun!

image wod actually used joshua goldberg as a source. he used goldberg as a source After goldberg were revealed to be an internet troll, and basement dwelling schizophrenic. how can any o' his sources surprise? I already explained that I didn't know that when I linked the article. Your continuing to carp on that only shows your level of immaturity. Edit: People afraid to speak their minds on Stalinist campuses: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/10/04/afraid-to-speak-up-in-the-era-of-trigger-warnings-a-tenured-professor-stays-silent/?postshare=8661475684224224&tid=ss_fb again, the fact that you didn't bother to check on the source o' an obvious bat crap crazy article is part o' the problem. we had no idea who were joshua goldberg 'til we read the article and were struck by absence o' logic or reason o' your linked source. we checked. you didn't. is a trend. your level o' immaturity is revealed 'cause you ain't learning from your mistakes, as is evident from aluminium's subsequent observations 'bout your sources. just as you didn't learn to actual read linked material or check your sources, you ain't learned 'bout your pattern. immature. you is gonna keep posting non-stalinist examples as long as somebody points out that you post non-stalinist examples when prodded. however, we will concede that we is being immature... but not 'bout goldberg. you still don't recognize your mistake on that point. your immaturity is gonna result in more joshua goldbergs. nope, am admitting that our prodding o' your reflex is immature. if we witnessed a child pulling a dumb animal's tail just to see the beast freak out, we would feel bad for the animal and we would admonish the child. nevertheless, here we are. it is, as we already observed, sad.

gifted and Gromnir may not see eye-to-eye on everything, but we share your displeasure o' time travel. when used for comedic value, time travel is acceptable to us. groundhog day would be a prime example o' time travel-for-laughs which actually worked. the simpson's time travel episode were also kinda amusing. edge of tomorrow is perhaps the only somewhat serious time-travel entertainment from the past couple decades we enjoyed. very little science in their science-fiction mighta helped for edge of tomorrow. yeah, as with all time-travel, suspension o' disbelief becomes strained, but perhaps the willingness to not take time-travel too serious were helpful as we had a few groundhog day moments in edge of tomorrow. ... and as much as we like star trek, the willingness to use time travel is a shortcoming o' the franchise. is actual kinda a tough call for us to decide which were worse for the franchise: time travel or star trek v: the final frontier. as bad as were final frontier, it were only one movie outta many. time travel is the bell that cannot be unwrung. HA! Good Fun!

image wod actually used joshua goldberg as a source. he used goldberg as a source After goldberg were revealed to be an internet troll, and basement dwelling schizophrenic. how can any o' his sources surprise? and am admitting at this point we got no idea what wod means by stalinist, 'cause it don't correspond with any definition we ever learned... lord knows we is baffled by his notion o' what constitutes a stalinist purge. honest, wod responses is stuff we could not invent. regardless, as we noted earlier, now that folks has given wod a hard time 'bout his stalinist misconceptions, he is gonna work stalinism into most o' his posts for the next week. is a pattern. we got a certain morbid curiosity 'bout how long we can keep wod barking out stalinist non-examples, but is already beginning to appear sad rather than funny.

didn't see the movie and am admitting we only got most slim recollection o' apocalypse from the comics. x-men 175 were our last x-men purchase and that were sometime mid 80s. HA! Good Fun!

so, was apocalypse a stalinist? a totalitarian demagogue utilizing cult o' personality and police-state mentality to bring 'bout a radiant future/worker's paradise through brutal means. well, maybe not exactly, but am guessing is far closer than rbg. colossus wasn't in the film, was he? too bad. made out o' living steel. stalin=steel, therefore by transitive property, colossus=stalin. HA! Good Fun!

That's just what a Stalinist would say. am pretty certain that the girl scouts would qualify as stalinist based on wod definition... and not just the evil, tim curry 'girl' scouts. HA! Good Fun!

couldn't get through two episodes o' supergirl. at least a half dozen times in each episode we had to be reminded that supergirl weren't "just a girl." did the writers ease up on the girlpower later in the season? we did like calista flockhart. sure, she were over-the-top, but so were jk simmons' j. jonah jameson HA! Good Fun!

and if you don't believe it, wod can link you to articles written by joshua goldberg. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/09/11/florida-man-plotted-sept-11-attack-in-kansas-city-fbi-says/ gonna be a long time 'fore the funny wears off o' this one. HA! Good Fun!

and you are not realizing that you just identified the real problem. HA! Good Fun!

You didn't quote the entire opening of the article, it has a different meaning than you imply. And how was I to know he was a troll? The article was high on the search results, and even the publisher of the website said he was taken in (he didn't take the article down though, or put any kind of warning on it). Gromnir, however, were not "taken in." in the future, feel free to use us as your guide for internet sanity. regardless, you got taken in 'cause you didn't actual bother to read the linked article and realize that it were nothing more than bat-crap crazytalk. you got taken in 'cause you didn't bother to question what you read. you got taken in... period. random linking to any article that contains "swj" and "stalinist" is not gonna help you make a case. get caught making such links sure ain't helping you, so again, feel free to lean on Gromnir. ... am blaming this on hurlshot. not specific hurl, but rather educators o' our youth. got a whole generation that can't think w/o the help o' google. is wod, perchance, a part-time electrician? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV2DaY4hLUI you should consider suing fox for stealing your likeness. HA! Good Fun!

you linked to joshua goldberg? http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/11/terrorist-troll-pretended-to-be-isis-white-supremacist-and-jewish-lawyer.html "For example, if someone says that they’re for “human rights”, that means that they’re for Stalinist thought control, hardcore government authoritarianism, and international warmongering." and that is the starting point for your linked article. he ain't being sardonic neither. so, random internet troll article is your support? ... why do you respond? HA! Good Fun!

am aware that you were referencing soccer. that don't help make the reference less obscure given the context. and you can read up on stalinism, but without a tinfoil hat, a dowsing rod and the necronomicon in your possession, seeing a connection 'tween the chosen political-economic system and a kid getting attacked in alabama will elude you. HA! Good Fun!

How is that Stalinism as opposed to **** just being ****, though? Kind of like Rangers fans stabbing Bruins ones. fixed how can a canadian screw up a hockey metaphor? am pretty sure that is the only crime still punishable by death in canada. HA! Good Fun! Rangers and Celtic are football clubs in Scotland with a history of that kind of crap, 60s or so. football clubs in scotland? from the 60s? ... and you might as well give up on the stalinism thing. wod kinda screwed up with the rbg-sjw-stalinism bit and now he is gonna be shoehorning stalinism into posts for the next week or so regardless o' how inappropriate or unrelated. is a pattern that has been repeated. HA! Good Fun!

And from the same show DS9 Trump would be the admiral who used fear of infiltrating founders to declare martial law on Earth. am thinking that particular for shady and manifested, the election would be much more entertaining if the roles were filled by star trek characters and organizations. ... would be even better if it were lego star trek? HA! Good Fun!

almost complete off-topic, but if we were gonna make clinton a star trek villain, it would be the dominion. duplicitous shape-changers who gets the underprivileged hooked on ketracel-white, then exploit 'em? HA! Good Fun!

The sad thing is, no one will care. This won't matter. That's because it's not about him. It's about stopping Clinton. The same it true with her. If Wikileaks releases proof she took a bribe in the Uranium One fiasco it won't matter because half of the country already thinks she did. The supporters of either candidate do not love them. Far from it. They the hate the other candidate more. It really is the epitome of electoral dysfunction. as agiel noted earlier, assange's credibility is suspect. (understatement) am willing to believe just about anything regarding clinton at this point, but am thinking if there were some kinda campaign destroying info on her, it woulda' been better to release to a credible news outlet. allow the news agency to verify. assange? whatever info is released, am gonna be hearing in our noggin as done by jon lovitz. gonna need an independent source to verify anything from assange. HA! Good Fun!

well, if you got over-the-top student debt, stein is the candidate for you. she wants to eliminate all student loan debt, which is only a bit more fiscal responsible than trump's suggestion o' defaulting on fed debt. on the dove v. hawk spectrum, stein would be a bit left o' this guy that being said, our family is overwhelming stein supporters as she is the one national candidate who is visible and active when it comes to indian issues. HA! Good Fun!

you are indulging in crude hasty generalization. characterize stalinist as dewey-eyed idealists might also be a stretch. regardless, to make following logical connection rbg -->sjw--> stalinist is laughable. HA! Good Fun!

Yeah, SJW's were called "Stalinists" when she was born. am sensing that you ain't joking, but is difficult to believe. HA! Good Fun! Most "revolutionaries" active in the 60's and 70's in the western democracies, were self-professed stalinists, trotskyists or maoists. Nothing strange about that really. fixed although lumping all three together is a bit misguided. regardless, analogizing post war revolutionaries and and the current sjw movement is "strange." is "strange" at best. HA! Good Fun!

This is what Gromnir said: "given how well the arab spring worked out, perhaps a different kinda Constitution would be a good starting point." Since we were discussing alternatives to the US Constitution, I asked if he meant "different to the US Constitution". what you said were as follows: "Are you saying Egypt actually adopted the US constitution and that's why Arab spring didn't work out? " which made absolute zero sense and were the most improbable reading o' anything in our post. HA! Good Fun!

am a little surprised that trump were able to claim a personal loss o' +$900 million. we were under the impression that much o' the loss for his numerous failed businesses were shouldered by investors, which if true is a bit mind boggling. if $900 million is actual only a small fraction o' the total money lost by investors, then we wonder why anybody would look to trump to fix america's financial problems. sure, wall street already avoids him, but am not sure why the public is buying his snake oil. even so, we expected that trump had taken a considerable loss and were using that loss to reinvigorate his real estate holdings. so this ain't much o' a bombshell. ... in the spirit o' full disclosure, Gromnir has done similar, though order o' magnitude much diminished... and no investors to pay for our mistakes. the recent real estate collapse were a boon for us. our significant losses when property values dropped by more than 50% in many cases has resulted in "champagne wishes and caviar dreams." not kidding. many responsible americans lost their homes when the housing bubble burst, and folks like Gromnir were there to pick up the pieces. sure, our total net worth were tempoarey brutalized, but we still had money, and we could buy property on the cheap when things were at their worst. ok, oversimple example. let's say that Gromnir lost $500k when housing bubble burst. the thing is, we still had property and money and mutual funds and whatnot, and we could, w/o much effort, scrape together $100k in cash. again, oversimple and numbers is wrong, but for sake o' simplicity let's say we split that 100k into 10 $10k deposits, which we then used to buy 10 different homes for dirt cheap 'cause they were foreclosed properties. nice big fat mortgages on all o' them, but so what? we get 10 properties that considerable increase in value when property values recover, and in the meantime we have 'em as rental properties that provide a tiny bit o' income on top o' covering property taxes n' such. eventual we is gonna sell those properties and uncle sam is gonna want his cut... and his cut is big. capital gains rates is punishing. am already in the 39.6% tax bracket, so the capital gains tax is 20%. but guess what, we got that $500k tax credit and we can carry-over for years in anticipation o' selling property and partial or complete wipe out the capital gains hit. ... recent economic downturn resulted in many people losing their homes and/or life savings. many o' those who lost ain't never gonna complete recover, particularly those who had less to start with. however, even the moderate wealthy were able to take advantage o' the situation to enrich selves... which is good business sense. however, to add insult to injury, folks such as Gromnir is able to turn our past loss into a substantial future windfall. poor got poorer and rich got richer. the thing is, schools and healthcare can't be treated same as trumps' bungled business ventures. if schools fail, America can't write it off as a loss and then use as a future deduction. can't use his dad's old connections to leverage sweetheart deals on healthcare as he has done with properties in nyc. *shrug* we want to see trump taxes. am still waiting. HA! Good Fun!
