You never get tired of saying nothing while still actually typing out words. It truly is an art and you are the master.
Calling people on their *** is important,IMO.
That moment when you can't tell if Floppy is backing Altima or Vic (or both?).
Not backing anyone, but I got the joke :P
I was agreeing with Vic.
The difference is you two turn a blind eye to Savael because you agree with him. I don't have to turn a blind eye to anyone who is calling someone out.
The reason he isn't typing tons is because he already has in the past, and knows it is not worth the effort. Yet, he knows Savael is being ridiculous about "progressives".
Odd. I've been around here a long time and this next quote is about the most I have ever seen vic post.
Notice he doesn't really "say" anything. But he sure does dish out some feels.
Why bother? I asked him the other night to name one of the "virtually all outgoing Presidents that are unpopular" and he completely failed on it, letting AO carry on the failure. All he wants to do is put "progressives" on a lower caste than himself, and he never passes up the opportunity to do so. Anyone on this site he disagrees with is a "progressive" in his eyes and he sees them as beneath him. If the moderation team tells him to stop he just labels them as "progressive mods." He is a child with a serious superiority complex. Always has been.
You mean the thing about the unpopular presidents that you were completely wrong about? Why do you have to lie and say I failed? Because you disagree with me and think I am beneath you and your massive superiority complex?

Nope I understand.
Do you understand that the USA is actually filled with cities like Detroit?
Bismarck.Josiahfk said: »move back to any of hundreds or thousands of cities across the planet where my skin color might be part of the majority of people there. Where I do not face that same prejudice.
So could they, key word, planet. Do you understand now? I don't agree. We're talking about people who have always been here versus people that have spread across the planet and taken it over.
You cannot tell people in their own native land to just leave if they don't like the racism of the worldwide invaders and solve the problem.Never said that.

It's okay.

Not only was I not wrong, and showed how 6 of the last 9 Presidents left office in good standing with the American public, you completely failed to show they did not. Nice try tho.

And now we know the true source of the anger and hate.
Josiah is angry, hates white people and is actually prejudiced. That is then projected onto others as he assumes they must hate him/her as much as he hates them. That or he/she is white and it's a form of self loathing. Don't mistake my ideals for humanity and my personal beliefs.
I'm personally very non-confrontational and don't even let myself hate people like Hitler, nevermind normal everyday humanity like us.
It's easy to see anyone's side of an argument if you back up enough and stop looking at an issue with bias for example.
Wow Josi, I never knew you had that much hate in you. Sad part is he seriously believes that about you.

With all this preaching of equality, it's no wonder that the Right doesn't take the Left's racism claims seriously. Racism against minorities is allegedly rampant, yet racism against the majority apparently doesn't exist and/or isn't worth mentioning because... reasons? Whites are apparently systematically holding minorities back and denying them "privileges", yet whites look at their white friends and family and can't find anyone actually doing that. Whites and minorities can be equally yoked educationally and economically, but which one of those groups will end up getting more scholarships by default?
If you want to preach equality, you have to preach equality. Address the issue of racism in all its forms, whether it's politically expedient or not. Don't just sit there and point the finger constantly at one group and then proceed to get mad when they don't join you after you've mocked them and given them labels because they were born with the more common skin color. You're not only alienating people, you're embracing blind racial prejudice that's not seen as racist only because it's politically correct.

Didn't happen. It remains fact that 6 of the last 9 Presidents left office in good standing. Its a complete lie to say they were unpopular, even if you make up your own criteria for popularity like Saevel later tried to do. Doesn't work like that, coming in with 87% and leaving with 65% means they were popular throughout. Obama is going to make it 7 out of the last 10. Give it up, you didn't do anything.

I've lived in 3 states, all red but with very different racial diversity, and perceivable racism has been such a rare occurrence that I don't even have a clue what people are referring to most of the time. I have definitely seen a difference in "privileges" as a result of wealth, but when I look through Facebook the people who have worked hard are doing well, and those that screwed around aren't, regardless of race or sexual orientation. I've seen much more racism against black people coming from Mexicans than I have from whites.
Racism exists, sure. It's out there, and probably more so in places that I've never been to. But I've got a sinking feeling that most of people talking about white-on-minority racism probably haven't experienced much of it, look the other way when the shoe's on the other foot, and blindly accept the media's magnifying glass view of the outliers as the status quo.
Racism as a political term and an issue is largely a scam. When you really think about it, what constitutes racism is a broad range. Think white girls are generally more attractive than black girls? Hey that's technically race based discrimination you racist. Until we can live in a world where all black girls are perceived and treated as equally hot as white girls we will forever live in a world that's racist.
How political and media hacks keep equivocating things so inconsequential into something akin to "slavery" is beyond me but hey being a victim is pretty in these days. People love to point at intangible things and blame them for their problems.

But shh shh, conservatives get mad when you talk about Bush because "OBAMA *** RVERYHTNG UP STAHP TALKING ABOUT BUSH ALREADY" :P
It's incredibly short-sighted to look at the exact end-of-term approval rating and pretend that it's the only number that matters. Should we look at the CNN poll in 2015 where Dubya had a higher approval rating than Obama? Hindsight's an interesting thing.

But hatred is not necessary part of that. hatred is what happens when anger and ignorancesuffering are not processed healthily in an individual. ftfy

Hmmm. Lincoln becomes more popular just as a black president comes into office.. Nobody seen that coming. It also plays well with the whole racism conversation we have been having.
