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 549 Views
Also, did you actually think I would believe horseshit like that? *NM* damookster - 12/05/2020 06:46:45 PM 267 Views
Not you. Someone on this board though... Entirely possible fionwe1987 - 13/05/2020 01:32:28 AM 532 Views

Are people just numbers to you? Roland00 - 13/05/2020 08:50:22 PM 566 Views
I'm the one who cares about their quality of life and legitimate rights Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:15:53 AM 572 Views
Yept you only see people as numbers, you are just confirming it. *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 02:20:00 AM 278 Views
It's like you didn't even read his post hahahah *NM* TyrReborn - 16/05/2020 03:53:40 PM 278 Views
There's always one moron, at least... fionwe1987 - 14/05/2020 07:27:50 PM 529 Views
It. Does. Not. Kill. People. Not at any level that should affect public policy Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:10:51 AM 611 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 588 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 547 Views
Roland your mind works in bizarre ways. damookster - 13/05/2020 01:20:58 PM 572 Views
Revelations is merely the sequel to Daniel, Mark of the Beast and all that. Roland00 - 13/05/2020 05:06:21 PM 524 Views
And just to be nit-picky.... Jeordam - 13/05/2020 05:07:20 PM 541 Views
We really should translate the Greek into Roland00 - 13/05/2020 05:40:24 PM 544 Views
Thank you *NM* Tom - 15/05/2020 02:13:40 PM 271 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 278 Views
Good point. damookster - 15/05/2020 03:29:39 PM 532 Views
Seriously though, why can't we keep Gates away from Education? *NM* Roland00 - 15/05/2020 06:03:06 PM 282 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 556 Views
Yes this is an uniquely American perspective. damookster - 15/05/2020 07:54:49 PM 574 Views
They really don't in the way it happens here. fionwe1987 - 15/05/2020 09:18:24 PM 588 Views
Could be. LiterateDog - 15/05/2020 09:29:15 PM 584 Views
Do you even have the slightest clue where kings came from? *NM* Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:17:11 AM 290 Views
and then we wonder damookster - 16/05/2020 12:57:09 AM 570 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 555 Views
Furthermore like I said earlier Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:17:44 AM 567 Views
As usual damookster - 16/05/2020 03:31:31 AM 568 Views
Says who the governors are overstepping their authority? Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:56:19 AM 556 Views
Are you kidding me? damookster - 16/05/2020 04:09:46 AM 526 Views
Mookie why is it only one direction in the past? Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:20:07 AM 562 Views
Multiple Sherriffs and DAs who refuse to enforce their orders agree they are unconstitutional. damookster - 16/05/2020 04:26:48 AM 541 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 556 Views
So if their edicts violate their state constitution, aren’t they still unconstitutional? *NM* damookster - 16/05/2020 04:48:25 AM 266 Views
Yes but sweeping generalizations lead to metaphor sheer Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:57:41 AM 522 Views
Roland, this has been fun damookster - 16/05/2020 05:05:18 AM 524 Views
Mookie like always I do hope for the best with you, Good Night *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 05:30:13 AM 260 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 254 Views
Ok, give me a logical alternative... fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 03:30:30 AM 578 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 522 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 663 Views
Originally? Really? damookster - 16/05/2020 04:13:12 AM 525 Views
Why should I trust your memory, after all we do not agree about authority. *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:21:17 AM 258 Views
Yes because obviously one is related to the other. *NM* damookster - 16/05/2020 04:29:04 AM 285 Views
I'm 32, but I don't think age should be a factor here... fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 05:34:31 AM 510 Views
I believed that 50 years ago. damookster - 17/05/2020 12:10:37 AM 533 Views
Can you stop with the “futility” thesis? Roland00 - 17/05/2020 03:23:35 AM 496 Views
This isn't making much sense fionwe1987 - 17/05/2020 04:30:24 PM 536 Views
One must imagine Sisyphus Happy? Roland00 - 17/05/2020 04:33:45 PM 512 Views
If, like Roland, you perceive whatever I write through the lens of rhetoric damookster - 17/05/2020 06:25:05 PM 497 Views
