If, like Roland, you perceive whatever I write through the lens of rhetoric damookster Send a noteboard - 17/05/2020 06:25:05 PM

Then no, it doesn't constitute a profound argument.

If, on the other hand, you read it as me describing my personal journey from teenage liberal idealist to elderly cynic, then it doesn't need to be persuasive at all. My error was in not using the singular pronoun, "I" instead of "we."

Apparently he is the Anti-Christ damookster - 12/05/2020 03:29:56 PM 571 Views
Also, did you actually think I would believe horseshit like that? *NM* damookster - 12/05/2020 06:46:45 PM 275 Views
Not you. Someone on this board though... Entirely possible fionwe1987 - 13/05/2020 01:32:28 AM 554 Views

Are people just numbers to you? Roland00 - 13/05/2020 08:50:22 PM 589 Views
I'm the one who cares about their quality of life and legitimate rights Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:15:53 AM 593 Views
Yept you only see people as numbers, you are just confirming it. *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 02:20:00 AM 290 Views
It's like you didn't even read his post hahahah *NM* TyrReborn - 16/05/2020 03:53:40 PM 287 Views
There's always one moron, at least... fionwe1987 - 14/05/2020 07:27:50 PM 547 Views
It. Does. Not. Kill. People. Not at any level that should affect public policy Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:10:51 AM 634 Views

It has to do with Religion and the Book of Daniel plus the Book of Revelations, aka Amillennialism Roland00 - 12/05/2020 09:55:54 PM 609 Views
Or it has to do with Bill Gates actively calling for mandatory certification of vaccination status Cannoli - 13/05/2020 06:28:35 AM 566 Views
Roland your mind works in bizarre ways. damookster - 13/05/2020 01:20:58 PM 585 Views
Revelations is merely the sequel to Daniel, Mark of the Beast and all that. Roland00 - 13/05/2020 05:06:21 PM 538 Views
And just to be nit-picky.... Jeordam - 13/05/2020 05:07:20 PM 562 Views
We really should translate the Greek into Roland00 - 13/05/2020 05:40:24 PM 562 Views
Thank you *NM* Tom - 15/05/2020 02:13:40 PM 281 Views
The guy helped create Common Core. That by itself is reason to set him on fire alive. *NM* Tom - 15/05/2020 02:14:59 PM 286 Views
Good point. damookster - 15/05/2020 03:29:39 PM 549 Views
Seriously though, why can't we keep Gates away from Education? *NM* Roland00 - 15/05/2020 06:03:06 PM 293 Views
Because America buys the stupid notion that being rich means you have something useful to say fionwe1987 - 15/05/2020 07:00:40 PM 575 Views
Yes this is an uniquely American perspective. damookster - 15/05/2020 07:54:49 PM 594 Views
They really don't in the way it happens here. fionwe1987 - 15/05/2020 09:18:24 PM 605 Views
Could be. LiterateDog - 15/05/2020 09:29:15 PM 605 Views
Do you even have the slightest clue where kings came from? *NM* Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:17:11 AM 299 Views
and then we wonder damookster - 16/05/2020 12:57:09 AM 585 Views
You are not going to get 75% of capacity anyway for people do not feel safe. Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:11:39 AM 578 Views
Furthermore like I said earlier Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:17:44 AM 581 Views
As usual damookster - 16/05/2020 03:31:31 AM 585 Views
Says who the governors are overstepping their authority? Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:56:19 AM 578 Views
Are you kidding me? damookster - 16/05/2020 04:09:46 AM 548 Views
Mookie why is it only one direction in the past? Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:20:07 AM 583 Views
Multiple Sherriffs and DAs who refuse to enforce their orders agree they are unconstitutional. damookster - 16/05/2020 04:26:48 AM 558 Views
Sigh what power each state executives have is in their own state constitution not the federal one Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:38:25 AM 575 Views
So if their edicts violate their state constitution, aren’t they still unconstitutional? *NM* damookster - 16/05/2020 04:48:25 AM 272 Views
Yes but sweeping generalizations lead to metaphor sheer Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:57:41 AM 539 Views
Roland, this has been fun damookster - 16/05/2020 05:05:18 AM 540 Views
Mookie like always I do hope for the best with you, Good Night *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 05:30:13 AM 270 Views
Sherrifs and DAs don't make the rules either...so what the hell is your point? *NM* fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 05:36:20 AM 261 Views
Ok, give me a logical alternative... fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 03:30:30 AM 597 Views
Yes, I think it’s a legitimate threat. I have to, I’m 67 years old. damookster - 16/05/2020 03:53:07 AM 538 Views
Sigh the Reagan joke was originally a joke with a different meaning from Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-ME Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:04:22 AM 684 Views
Originally? Really? damookster - 16/05/2020 04:13:12 AM 539 Views
Why should I trust your memory, after all we do not agree about authority. *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:21:17 AM 268 Views
Yes because obviously one is related to the other. *NM* damookster - 16/05/2020 04:29:04 AM 291 Views
I'm 32, but I don't think age should be a factor here... fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 05:34:31 AM 531 Views
I believed that 50 years ago. damookster - 17/05/2020 12:10:37 AM 551 Views
Can you stop with the “futility” thesis? Roland00 - 17/05/2020 03:23:35 AM 512 Views
This isn't making much sense fionwe1987 - 17/05/2020 04:30:24 PM 558 Views
One must imagine Sisyphus Happy? Roland00 - 17/05/2020 04:33:45 PM 527 Views
If, like Roland, you perceive whatever I write through the lens of rhetoric damookster - 17/05/2020 06:25:05 PM 515 Views
