    I would darken ya'lls door at least one last time, for the sake of owning up to my lack of perspective. Sometimes, you've just got to tip your cap.

    Why is it sickening to provide basic dignities for people who were born without the ability to make their way in the world? Why is taxing the wealthy to provide food and housing for folks born with, say, an 85 IQ such a repulsive idea for you?

    Ah, nevermind. You've been a very Enlightened, Tolerant moderator these past few weeks... I suppose I owe you good old boys a reprieve.

    ....but like that most renowned socialist of western cinema (Frosty the Snowman) I'll be back one day, shortly after the first pale, limpid snow of winter has blanketed the North Texas ground--unbowed, unbent, unbroken... and spreading my shrill, coruscating brand of SOCIALISM to all four corners of the earth...

    The Impersonator: Eric Feigl-Ding, COVID-19, and an implicit far-left agenda - The Dossier

    The impossibly dumber than Andrew Cuomo governor of New Jersey has stated that this complete fraud is advising the state on all manner of nonsense that we're suffering through up here.

    Everything that's been said on this website about nutritionists has been vindicated.

    Funnily enough, in communist times here, taxi drivers were among the most well to do social classes, because they were allowed to handle the branch as a completely private business. The brass just didn't let them do too well, they could hire like three or four people tops.

    You don't know much about the existing taxes, government agencies and programs along with privately funded support groups like Special Olympics that already do this job quite well, do you? That, along with the parents and extended family support of those you describe. Since you profess to have such open and flowing wounds for such people, try coaching them in Special Olympics sometime. You will find the experience humbling and gratifying.

    The left often makes a big mistake in assuming that people should vote solely on their own self interest.

    Haghstulls version is a unique version of this theme. Gotta give him that , although it may be common in certain circles.

    In any case, a lot of people vote the greater good. The better philosophy. Better foundational principles. Most of us would make sacrifices (and do) when we think it’s likely to work. Sacrifice is honorable, voting your own self interest is childish, at best, and evil at worst.

    Your election outcome is now going to effect us down here. If your mate Biden gets in we all will suffer.

    This is the cry of the Socialist puke, always claiming the moral high ground to obtain power while denigrating the abilities of those perceived to be their lessers.

    Not sure if this has been posted here before: https://twitter.com/henrik_ullum/sta...57496720785410

    DANMASK-19 (referenced above) is the only randomized-controlled trial for testing the efficacy of surgical masks in preventing COVID-19 in non-healthcare settings.

    The study has been finished for months now, but journals refuse to publish the results: https://twitter.com/alexberenson/sta...75526997102594

    "Listen to the scientists!", they said. What a complete joke.

    Documented here: Access Denied

    The video of this press conference is available. Links to her saying this are widely available.

    The CDC data supports what Dr. Birx says they were going to do, conclusively. Rip has linked to it several times in this thread.

    If something is on video and archived so thoroughly, then who's the denier?
    I have seen and read Dr. Birx's statements before, and I read them again in this link. I obviously interpret them differently than you do, and I think if you're honest, there is a steel-man interpretation of the statements that does not imply anything conspiratorial or exaggerated. I'm happy to spell it out for you if you find yourself resistant to considering it. Nevertheless, let's say you're right. Are suggesting that President Trump's administration and his appointees are intentionally trying to inflate coronavirus deaths and its impact on society? To what end?

    Like you, I remember all of those people you mentioned above. You seem to imply that all of them did not get the same rigorous treatment you are pissing and moaning about. Or is a challenge to your irrefutable logic not inclusive enough?

    I miss tertius. Hopefully his stay in Seattle did not convert him wholesale to the take over of the police precinct there. His arguments were well thought out and effectively delivered, even if underpinned by a strongly leftist bias. To be fair, he was not in complete lockstep with all of the dem platform though.

    Spar departed for reasons unknown, although it did seem to coincide with some less than supportive commentary about gay marriage.

    Same with aurelius, gone without comment. Although it did coincide with the attempted takeover of several sub-forums here by The Departed who made an exodus of their own. In fairness to aurelius, he had no part in the bad posts and behavior so common back then.

    They were not banned or booted out of here. They elected to self isolate, as it were.

    You need to grow a pair if you don't like criticism here. I've been called a fucking psychopath and such more than once here. I guess I'm deemed something of a crypto Nazi (as Gore Vidal called William F. Buckley) for supporting some aspects of LE use of force. But then I'm even older than you and evidently of a less sensitive nature.
    Hurling, you are among the most sensitive people I've ever interacted with. And that's okay, doesn't make you a fucking psychopath. Or even a crypto Nazi. It just makes you a pain in the ass.

    I am not complaining or pissing and moaning about my treatment here, nor do I need to grow a pair. My pair is significantly larger than average, actually (at least my urologist says so). Rip has always okayed my posts, leftist bullshit though it apparently is, and his insults are charming enough not to take too seriously. And I know that others have left of their own volition and not because they have been banned. I was merely lamenting the change in culture around here over the last decade, and not for the better, in my opinion. That's okay, though, I'm a customer and not the owner.

    (Between you and me, I think Rip misses Spar and tertius, too.)
