Thanks. I don't remember Sillie Bazillie, but Wade Garrett was definitely here.

Congrats, you have now aligned yourself with weepaws as well as TrailGuy. While they are on the Mount Rushmore of bad posters here, it's important to develop relationships, and I'm happy for you.

This word salad has nothing to do with the Sermon on the Plain which you ignored, but it probably took you some time to type it, so I appreciate the effort.

Lots of us know what gutter looks like. I also know where he lives and some other things which I won't divulge (part of another bet a while back). I'm confident that we can resolve this. Also to the OP, TrailGuy is absolutely an alias of Raven Fan and BeachGuy23 at a minimum. Apparently at FBG he went by John Daulton which those folks refer to him, although he hasn't used it here.

This started with my questioning your assertion that Zelensksyy's willingness to step down was "checkmate." An election won't happen while the conflict is active; the logistics are impossible. Regardless, if Zelenskyy steps down and somebody, anybody, is chosen to replace him, how does that help Ukraine stay "safe and sovereign?" How do you know that the new person will be less willing to negotiate/concede than Zelenskyy?

Read this this morning, very sad. The NGOs clearly want a certain result based on being in the climate cult. It's hard to say how much the "scientists" share this cult status, and how much is feeling like they have little choice (e.g., if they post the wrong type of result, they won't get future funding). Probably some of both. Science!

Yes

Rusty is Tebok. The Girlfriend is a different Sanctuary poster than Gutter. Gutter has been posting under his Psychic Observer alias. I'm fairly sure that General is not Sho Nuff. They are different personalities.

At today's Mass, our gospel reading was The Sermon on the Plain, specifically the parts about loving your enemies and not judging others. Weepaws would probably benefit from this, specifically the last part on judging others. For my part, I have decided that today I will be nice to everyone here, regardless of political or religious affiliation. Have a nice day, weepaws!

TheGeneral is not Gutterboy. The Girlfriend is not Rusty, he is a different poster from the Sanctuary. The new HB Analtoy strikes me as a Sanctuary poster pretending to be a Maga Trump supporter.

Of course he does. It's not going to happen though. And what does that have to do with Zelenskey saying he would step down?

That doesn't answer my question.

Checkmate? How does this change Putin's mind about Ukraine in NATO?

I missed the part in the article where Trump supported this proposal made by some hayseed congressman for a constitutional amendment that would never pass. Wait, no I didn't: Lefties are sheeple, believing whatever pap the MSDNC feeds them about Trump.

I don't know exactly what rare minerals are in/under Ukraine, but I believe that we are too reliant on bad hombres like China for some of the ones used for solar panels, EVs, semiconductors, etc. It would be to our strategic benefit to get access to them.

IMO it's fair to disagree with the strategy of not poking Putin, like @The Real timschochetdid. I don't agree, but it's a debate worth having. TrailGuy can't even comprehend my point. He just calls me a poosay for not wanting a meaningless document calling Putin a meanie$#@! I'm talking about ending the conflict in a sustainable fashion. TrailGuy is all about feelz. And lack of reading comprehension.

Here is what you quoted me saying about NATO: Now go get your shine box.

Dear lord are you stupid. After your first sentence, you spend two paragraphs being a blue haired sky screamer. WAAA Putin started it! Well, no duh. I've never said otherwise. I said that poking the bear only gets you a meaningless document calling Putin a meanie, and doesn't move towards ending the conflict. I also never said Putin would accept Ukraine in NATO, I said Trump would support it. It is apparently not currently true. I understand why. Otherwise, good post, good effort. It's like you didn't read a word I wrote. How do you function as the finance exec of the 2nd shift register workers at Wendy's with such low comprehension?

It's not IQ, it's mental acuity, or speed in making decisions. This is what tests like the Wonderlic are designed to measure. I'm not otherwise commenting on the performance of different ethnicities, as I don't know the data.

I was commenting on Tim's post, not anything you said. I don't know what your opinion is and it isn't relevant to my point.

Same. I wear a collared shirt and nice shorts or... chinos are they called? between jeans and dress slacks, depending on the weather. Yesterday I went to a cheap course that has a decent putting green just to chip/pitch/putt and I had jeans on; I felt underdressed.

That seems like bad weather to have a brand new baby FO land in, regardless of DEI status.

Sorry, I can't fix your stupid. You specifically called me out as your example, and now you are saying "most people, but not you$#@!"

I misunderstood nothing. I read your words. You should try it. Or perhaps you are English-impaired.

The situations were different -- the Soviet Union was collapsing, Reagan knew it, Gorbachev knew it. And Putin is not Gorbachev. There is a concept I learned long ago called the "Platinum Rule." It's like the Golden Rule, except it is: do unto others as they would have done unto them. The Golden Rule gets liberals into trouble with folks like radical Muslims -- they think oh, if we're just nice to them and help them, they'll be our buddies! Sorry, that doesn't work, never has, never will. To say that a strategy worked in a different situation with a different cast of characters, so we should do the same thing now, is... well, childish.
