Thanks for the explanation. We're pretty close philosophically, believe it or not. You and I would have great conversation over some cocktails and a joint.

Fair enough.

Yeah, I'll disagree there. Libertarianism is great, I'm an adherent on many levels, but let's face it: most people don't know what it means and are perfectly comfortable with less personal freedom. Especially the younger generation, which has no clue what personal freedom and responsibility really mean. Also, I'm interested in hearing how a nation of 300m+ citizens can function without taxes. Honestly you sound more like an anarchist, which as a philosophy has some interesting ideas and charm, but is not workable on a large scale.

Not if peefoam got there first. But think of all the ENERGY he'll have coming back at him! Little focker would turn into Superman!

Are you seriously speaking out against the power of faith? Hardore religious zealots are wierd.

Anti government is not a centrist position. I agree with you on everything else. But I'm just a commiemarxisttrannieshitlib, right?

Mayo Clinic got nothin on RHR from the GC! I don't mean to be a di<k, but you don't have a CLUE WTF you're talking about. Hope you're nowhere near anyone that needs crucial medical decisions made.

What goes unsaid is that many of them would be completely fine with a police state as long as said state was enforcing THEIR preferred policies and grievances.

I'm not commenting on just that; he's owned them on a few topics now. And will likely continue to do so.

THIS. If these guys are okay with refusing the work, that's fine. But don't fuk up the roads.

The abundance of complaing and dearth of solutions continues, I see. Fun to watch Tim steamroll some mooks in here with actual facts, while the mooks use right wing Twitter trolls as their info sources.

HT dropping a whataboutism! The first of dozens he'll post today, no doubt.

Who's ignoring changes? I'm just not catastrophizing them. If you can't handle rapid change, the USA in the 21st century may not be the best place for your mental health. Which, I must say, is probably already questionable since we've never had an interaction that I can recall, and you opened with the above. You must be one of those godam Norge's that have polluted the fine Germanic stock of our beautiful state.

Dude, you are very much beholden to your political ideology. Granted, you're more open minded than many, but let's not pretend you aren't guilty of making broad, generalized statements impugning everything Democrats and liberals think and do.

I sense a theme here. How many times do MAGAMOOKS need to be shown they're being duped by Russian disinformation before they realize and admit their guy Trump is a giant POS? That's rhetorical. We all know the answer: they will NEVER admit it. They are too invested in the lies.

Perfect response. Well done.

Same issue, and I agree with your point. Like I said, that behavior got us here. Where does it take us tomorrow if we don't start realizing the detrimental effects of the mindset?

I've gotta say bravo to those posting in this thread. We've got 4 pages of really interesting discussions going on, where most of us are not being judgmental or demeaning while sharing their thoughts and beliefs. I'm really enjoying reading Horseman's thoughts, and even seafoam is making positive contributions. I really appreciate that, especially among posters normally at each other's throats. Thanks everyone!

I see everything going downhill, though I tend to think it's nowhere near as bad in MN as many other places. You can't judge a giant group by the misdeeds of a few. That's how we get to where we are today, taking bites off of different colored shlt sandwiches and arguing over which gives us less indigestion.

So true. Norwegians are the ones that have really fukked up MN. Stupid Scandahoovians. I also remember when the Vietnamese and Cambodians were looked at like the Somalis are today. Now the Hmong population in MN... are just Americans.

Republicans only live in deep red states now? I really detest this line of thinking. It's just making lazy excuses. If you were on a jury, would you let your political bias get in the way of the facts of the case? You're a teacher. If one of your student's parents was a total POS are you gonna teach that kid less, or differently from how you teach other students? I'm in healthcare. IFGAF what politics, religion, sexual orientation a patient is. They're getting my best. This is when the MAGAMOOKS start getting really dangerous; when they refuse to accept the results of the system because the system is "rigged" when it really isn't. Institutions and procedure can't be trusted. Only Trump can be trusted. You're smart enough to know where that leads.

NOFX- Lori Meyers

The titles are all self-appointed in the GC. That's how HT became a "big deal around here." As Aleister Crowley said, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." This place has no rules. Go nuts.

I'll take "Times Twatadour has supported one of his dipshitt takes with actual facts for $500 Alex."

Sounds like you're not very happy here, sport. That's too bad. The Somali population where I live seem like good folks. They do some weird shlt in bathrooms and locker rooms, but that's because they're religious weirdos. Basically the same as your garden variety evangelical, except many of them were forced to be soldiers at young ages, so they've seen and experienced things that would have your average evangelical ripping their entire pearl strands apart from desperate clutching at just the thought of such horror.
