It's unfortunate that a music site is constantly poisoned by the same 3 or 4 awful people who have no intellect whatsoever,just the monkey like ability to cut and paste their hatred.It must be awful to be that stupid.I wonder if the 3 or 4 daily hate posters can hygienically care for their bodies,since their minds are so askew and rotten.Maybe they have some kind of blood infection that comes with their stink.
Let me see if I can break this down. We should guard against letting emotions overrun reason; when intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy gain currency, we all lose. Ideological skirmishes can result — and have resulted — in bloodshed. That is real. No one wins. We continually fail to learn from the past, and until we do, we are doomed to repeat the same failures. It is a slippery slope.
i have heard a number of theories on the true reason for Trump's election. Can you state plainly and simply what you believe that reason to be? (For those of us, like me, who cut class that day! )
Ah yes. You cut class that day. Well, the assignment was saturated with logos, eros, and pathos. The human condition, junk like that. Really boring.
As plainly as I can state it huh? I think that Trump won because everyone was talking but no one was listening...
And I think Mrs. Clinton lost because she can't hear herself...

That is all. bed time now. Saturdays are brutal.
Read the sentences in my post in the order they were presented. The sentence you bolded addresses the premise set forth in the first sentence.
And my third sentence talked about the country being roughly evenly divided between those on the conservative side of the spectrum and those on the liberal side. I did not make the comparison between Trump supporters and those not supportive.

Jesus, you can't even avoid bullshittery in a ridiculous conversation about how you're such a poor, abused, bastion of right-wing integrity. If you get attacked for your views here, it's because you are unique among RP regulars in that you will use a bullshit narrative in literally the same post where you're accusing someone else of twisting remarks, being illiterate etc. I think we'd all be happy to just discuss the issues and not involve the person posting, but at some point you will post such a staggeringly bizarre twist of logic that it becomes less about what you said and more about how you ever got your license to internet.
Pour that cold coffee over ice, man! Spoon of honey, about 1/3 milk, I shake mine in a cocktail shaker because honey balls up in cold.
In the FWIW department, the stone deaf and illiterate remark was directed at the people who created the story, our wonderful news media who create the stories that appear here, not the people here.
There are many ways to describe the people here, but stone deaf and illiterate would be my last choice. Not that it matters to anyone here as I'm pretty well type cast and nearly everything I say gets twisted, too.
and to this ...

Of belief or non belief, which takes the most effort? Distraction is just that. Judgement. Expectation. Indignation. Repudiation. What bothers me most I guess is the lack of intellectual honesty. All that emotional maintenance, and for what; deliverance? From what or who? I'm not taking sides with hypocrisy even though I find myself drowning in it like everyone else. It is in effect a moot point and a mute argument. ' Nobody's right if everybody's wrong' is the way a song relates it for what it's worth.
How will we get to symmetry and maintain the liberties we all treasure? More blood? Then more blood? How about even more blood? Fuck a bunch of ideological nonsense. We have allowed the politics of neglected reason justify a rotting cultural slide into the dirt and I mean literally. JMHO. I'm not trying to preach here. But, neither am I blind nor wearing blinders. I dare say neither is anyone here. I tell you true however, when I hear someone say it's all about the children I want to throw up. A lie may easily wear the garments of truth but the truth itself is naked. Deception begins in the heart and gathers enriched from like minds unwilling to break with insanity.
There are many brave men innocent and otherwise dead and buried that were once children themselves. They're stark reality is beyond what we know other than silent witness to the futility and vanity of giving into the unconscious blunders afforded the past still passing.
Trump was elected for a reason. That reason is more or less apparent to anyone truly paying attention. The Trump presidency is not the issue here. Oh in this thread maybe. Yes. But, no...anyhow I seem to be out of breath. As you were and carry on. I'm rooting for us. All of us...
I bet you instill pure terror into the heart of the person taking your order for pizza.

...and again the forum devolves into personal attacks.
People that don't really know each other talking shit about each other to make the other feel bad. Shame on us when we do that. (Me too)
Naw,I'm going to make sure it stays easy and light,at least until the Red Sox- Braves game comes on at 1:05.
Then I will stop my preemptive actions against the Lord of the Flies kids and......
Oh shit baseball is on! You kids just grow up while I go away and act like an adult and watch baseball.
I will be back to check things out.Don't make me be the bad guy.I don't want to have to set this thread straight again.Frankly,I think I should be paid for my education efforts here.
I'm always grateful to see a post from someone that I know is smarter than me.And that was not sarcasm.I sincerely mean that.I truly acknowledge your superior intellect.
You seldom make a post that isn't thought worthy,except for the Name My Band thread,in which case you are just weird. edit-OK you can name a band " Moot Point and a Mute" if you want we're good,as always Bro.Just was goofin' here.
Aw c'mon. Who doesn't want to be in The Exoskeletors or The Sandbox Ballet?
