I expressed myself very clearly, I pointed out the hypocrisy of climate change celebrities. There wasn't an ounce of blame in my sentence for their carbon print.

What I find interesting is that all you guys quickly rushed to use "it" instead of actual thing I was talking about. So let's play a game what is the "it" you refer to?

Malcador Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 US sending air defenses to KSA. Did get a bit of a laugh out of the DOD official saying they'd also ramp up arms sales to KSA, just for the naked racket esque way it sort of comes across. Why has elegance found so little following?

smjjames Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 They're also sending some troops I think, didn't catch the numbers though. Either way, it's something that sends a message and isn't as likely to set off a chain of miscalculations, but the risks of it happening are still high and it does increase the chances of US forces getting caught in the crossfire should Iran (or the Houthis or whoever) try again.

Bartimaeus Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 HoonDing's probably thinking "a job well done" there. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Guard Dog Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 So this President called a foreign government and offered something of value in exchange for their intelligence services helping him defeat a rival. The last one thought it was perfectly fine to use drones to kill Americans. The one before didn't know where the power to declare war came from. God I miss the days when they were just f-----g their interns. And just think... one of the fools running right now will be the 46th President to this s--t is only going to get worse!

HoonDing (BTW I finally found out where that name came from!) was just being sarcastic. Sharpie too (I hope). As per the Oxford English Dictionary, sarcasm is "the use of irony to mock or convey contempt." If Skarpen was being sarcastic, that would imply he's playing along HoonDing's sarcastic paraphrasing of far right talking points, and thus, actually mocking the people who unironically use words like "demonrats" and refer to them as evil nazis and such. In light of Skarpen's previously stated opinions, I find that highly unlikely, which is why I asked him to clarify. In any case, I think we can all agree this isn't the place for endorsements of violence towards political opponents, jokingly or otherwise. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Don't know about that even. A few pages ago we established that is is a good thing when rich people and people who don't believe in man made climate change die. That's why I asked, only half jokingly; If it's good that they are dead wouldn't be really good to just kill them? After all, we can't have people thinking wrong thoughts, believing things untrue, and (most unforgivably) trying to convince others to join them in thoughtcrime.

Amentep Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 This is the Political thread, not an episode of Scooby Doo. Let's forego attempts to prove the Ghost of Elias Kingston is really Stuart Weatherby. Or for that matter psychoanalysing other posters. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

There's a substantial difference between celebrating someone's death -distasteful as it may be- and endorsing violence against them. Simply because I'm glad that someone can no longer actively do any harm (because they are dead) does not mean I want them murdered. Of course, it would be best if they simply changed their views while alive, but that's kind of a useless thought because, well... 1 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
