The Real timschochet 6,764 Posted February 16, 2023 26 minutes ago, jonmx said: Debate? How can there be a debate when two sides operate in a different realities? In Tim's reality we have: -The establishment government who always tell the truth and are only concerned with what is best for the people of this country. -The establishment media which has no agenda and only tells the truth. - Universities who have no political agenda and who are only interested in advancing the truth. - A CIA and FBI who have no political agenda and are only concerned about protecting citizens. White Supremacy is the biggest problem facing America because the media and FBI tell us that. January 6th was the biggest assault on our government in history. Everyone including children must have these untested vaccines with questionable benefits and unknown consequences. A woman is whatever one thinks it is. American history and success is all centered around slavery. And on and on and on....there is no debating any of these points because they have been endorsed by our universities, our media, our medical establishment. All our institutions are honorable and above skepticism. All evil, ignorance and corruption comes from those Constution loving citizens who just don't understand things that our elitist establishment says. We must love our fascist overlords. Our established government, CIA, FBI, IRS, mainstream media, big tech corporations, and universities operate under fascist principles which powers have been placed above the people. We have absolutely lost our Republic and it is going to be a real beatch to get it back. Since this is your interpretation of MY reality, allow me to correct you: 1. I certainly don’t believe my government always tells the truth. But I also don’t automatically assume they are lying. There is a difference between reasonable, healthy skepticism and conspiracy minded paranoia. 2. I think the establishment media (Washington Post, New York Times, etc.) tries very hard to tell the truth without liberal bias. I don’t think they always succeed at this. But I don’t believe they deliberately spread falsehoods. 3. I think many universities promote radical leftism to the detriment of free speech. That’s not true of all of them. But it happens enough to be worrisome. 4. Neither the CIA nor the FBI have a particularly great history of staying out of politics. However, I’m pretty skeptical of the notion that they are currently weaponized to be used against conservatives. 5. White supremacy is a big concern, as is racism, and always has been. It is not the primary concern of this country- IMO that is economic uncertainty and climate change. What happened on January 6 has been overblown by Democrats and wrongly dismissed by Republicans. It wasn’t the worst thing ever but it was a serious occurrence. It wasn’t Pearl Harbor or 9/11 but it also wasn’t a walk in the park either. It will go down in history books, more analogous, IMO, to Hoover’s assault on the Bonus Marchers than to the assassination of JFK. So you might want to correct your notes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The unchecked powers of our intelligence agencies is way beyond anything you imagined. It would be nice if it were just paranoia, but they have become an agency with gesto-like mob power with a friendlier face. Unfortunately our elected officials don't stand a prayer at ever reigning their power in. Our intelligence agencies powers just continue to grow. The whole Whitmer kidnapping was just a precursor to January 6th. Both activities were completely setup by CIA-FBI using paid operatives to instigate them. They actually hoped January 6th was going to be far more violent than it was. But since they have control of the media, they could still portray it as some 'armed' 'deadly' 'insurrection' plot to 'overthrow the government'. None of which holds up to any rational view of the event. There were no arms. The deaths were at the hands of police. There was no plot. The idea that after two years of this non-sense, they are only half-way done and want to track down twice as many participants while the #1 instigator, Ray Epps runs free with zero scrutiny is beyond believeable. And they are using January 6th to push new hiring rules to bar anyone with any views critical of the government from being hired by the government. They are creating an army of millions of sheep who will be in lock-step with whatever they are told. As much as you think it is paranoid, the truth is the government is spying on all citizens, keeping records on each citizens, manipulating the news, education, and internet search to control public opinion, stonewalling every effort to look inside our intelligence agencies and destroying any public official whom they see as a threat. Our government was established to protect and serve the people. But today we live in nation where most people fear and don't trust the government, and rightly so. There is nothing irrational about being in fear of unchecked all-powerful rogue intelligence organizations who have a long history of illegal rogue activities. It is the height of naivety to believe that today with access to incredible technology and information, that there are not far more comprehensive activities going on than MKUltra. Yes our intelligence agencies have advanced way beyond using LSD to control minds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casual Observer 597 Posted February 16, 2023 14 hours ago, Pimpadeaux said: I'm quite glad you're here. As someone who has been part of this board off and on since the early 2000s, which makes me a Silverback, I welcome you here with open arms. At one time, we could heatedly debate one another and bust a lot of balls, but at the end of the day we were all comrades who didn't take ourselves too seriously, and anyone who did got quickly nipped in the bud. A few long-time Geeks have taken a hard right into uncompromising MAGAland, they're mindset polluted by hatred fostered during the Obama administration and whipped into a raging forest fire by each other and the cable-network infoclowns who tell them what they want to hear. They are jointed by a bunch of noobs who share their MAGA view. They are blissfully ignorant, have no ability to view and understand the big picture and can't engage in intelligent, respectful debate. They won't accept a simple fact if it goes against the grain of their knuckleheaded paradigm. They can't accept centrists and anything to the left of themselves. Conservatives who don't see the world through their MAGA keyhole get labeled RINOs or whatever. These MAGAs deserve little more than a fusillade of trolling, albeit trolling based in indisputable facts that go in one ear, bounce around their heads like a pachinko ball and then exit the other ear. The seeds of facts and reality will find no purchase in their minds. If you didn't have Maga types to argue with, you'd probably throw yourself off the top of the tallest building you could find. Furthermore, you're a centrist only in some parallel universe. I hate to derail the thread, but I keep seeing you claim Silverback status. I don't think it means a whole lot, though you're trying to make it appear as though you're some kind of custodian of this site, but can you really claim Silverback status when you shat all over this forum, left it to join another that engaged in an annual trolling/recruitment expedition and claimed some kind of intellectual superiority over this forum and only came back here when the other forum shut down? I'll hang up and listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seafoam1 3,024 Posted February 16, 2023 21 hours ago, The Real timschochet said: So I’ve been posting regularly in this forum for a couple of months now. The Politics Forum in the FBG was cancelled and I love discussing politics, and I know some of the people here. I knew going in that it’s predominantly conservative around here. I don’t mind that. I also find the lack of rules and moderators refreshing. But on the other hand: 1. There are a lot of very extreme conservatives here. Not what I would term middle of the road types but people who don’t seem to care about what I regard as fundamental American values. 2. There’s a lot of folks here who seem to prefer an echo chamber to debate and discussion. They respond to any comment they disagree with with an ugly personal attack or insult. It’s pretty boring. 3. There’s some ugly racism and bigotry this forum. I’ve called it out in various threads. I seem to be alone in this and I’m often attacked for calling it out. Hence my question in the title: do you guys even want discussion and debate? Or am I and other liberals simply an unwelcome presence in this forum? If it’s the latter no problem I can move on.

supermike80 1,911 Posted February 16, 2023 Tim, You need to ask yourself why is it no one ever wants to debate with you. You weren't liked at FBG, and you are quickly not being liked here. Why do you think that is? You carry a smug "I am smarter and better than you and your opinions pale in comparison to mine" in almost every post. It's tiring to argue with someone who thinks he's always right. Add to it your disdain for almost everything republican, and continually calling all white people racist, and you don't make a very attractive debate partner. Maybe look inward before you decide to post calling out everyone else on this board about whether they want to debate. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seafoam1 3,024 Posted February 16, 2023 Alaska board members brawl over silencing dad exposing book on kinks and sexting An Alaska school board member stood up against the vice president as he attempted to shut down a dad speaking out against sexually explicit materials in school libraries. "We hear so much about diversity, inclusion and equity and how it's one of the… main objectives of the school board in the school district," the dad, Jay McDonald, said at an Anchorage school board meeting on Feb. 7. "We don't often see specific examples of what diversity, inclusion and equity looks like, though. So today I brought an excellent representation. This is like the archetype of diversity, inclusion, equity material that it's one of the books that was just recently purchased for our libraries," he continued. The example of diversity, equity and inclusion the father raised was a book with pornographic imagery and sex advice called "Let's Talk About it." In one example, the book unpacks "kinks, fantasies, and porn." "There's nothing wrong with enjoying some porn, it's a fun sugary treat," the book said. "When consumed right, porn can help you discover new aspects of your sexuality." "A great place to research fantasies and kinks safely is on the internet," the book said. "There's tons of people and communities out there who share your interests and have all kinds of advice." The dad read from the portion of the book which provided tips to kids on sending naked pictures to their peers. "This is a book for kids!" the dad said. "So before you start sending your naughty masterpieces around the world, take some time to get friendly with photo editing, software and apps," the book stated. At that point the vice president of the board, Carl Jacobs, interrupted the father. Jacobs demanded McDonald stop his comments against the book. "I'm going to interrupt you at this point. Just sounds like you have a concern about a book, I'd be glad to get connected to the superintendent or team to go through the appropriate processes," he said. The dad replied, "I'd appreciate if you don't interrupt my time." After Jacobs maintained the dad could no longer speak about the book, one of his board member colleagues – Dave Donley – spoke out against his decision. "Mr. President, I don't think he's violated any rules. I mean, he hasn't used… bad words." The two exchanged a back and forth before Donley appealed Jacob's ruling, which brought the decision to a 5-2 vote. The majority voted against the father speaking. School board members Jacobs, Pat Higgins, Margo Bellamy, Kelly Lessen and Dora Wilson voted to silence the father. Donley and Andy Holleman voted against the decision. Fox News Digital reached out to the school board members about their vote but did not immediately receive a response. The father told Fox News that he yanked his kids from the district's schools, and currently homeschool them. He wants to alert parents about the materials available to their kids. His daughter has already learned about gender identity when she was in kindergarten and first grade, he said. "We came to realize that they had already been talking to her at that point about the gender stuff," he said, "It sounds harmless and innocuous, but… what it does in their little minds, it's very confusing to them. And I'm glad that we got her out of school when we did." He continued, "It's not about one book or two books or ten books. This is a much larger push. They're pushing critical gender theory on kids starting in elementary school. They're encouraging them to get what they call ‘gender creative,’ and they're transitioning them in the public schools, and they're doing it without prior notification or consent from the parents. And in some cases they never tell the parents. So I'm encouraging people, like if you're not able to homeschool, please just sit down with your kids and talk to them about what they hear in school."

jerryskids 6,797 Posted February 16, 2023 17 hours ago, TheNewGirl said: Possible. However, I've been a member of two other smaller forums that don't really "allow" for the multiple alias use (there isn't a need when you have 20 or less members). And the discussion can get pretty good, as long as people are decent with each other. You'll still have people who are racist or bigots sure...but you have people that have the ability to also be more honest and not blow smoke up everyone's assesses. Smaller forums tend to be more personal and create closer relationships, the debate is just different. A large forum like this that allows for thousands of members, allows members to troll, or have several user names; more disingenuous. You know what would bring us all together?
