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 592 Views
Also, did you actually think I would believe horseshit like that? *NM* damookster - 12/05/2020 06:46:45 PM 288 Views
Not you. Someone on this board though... Entirely possible fionwe1987 - 13/05/2020 01:32:28 AM 576 Views

Are people just numbers to you? Roland00 - 13/05/2020 08:50:22 PM 609 Views
I'm the one who cares about their quality of life and legitimate rights Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:15:53 AM 615 Views
Yept you only see people as numbers, you are just confirming it. *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 02:20:00 AM 301 Views
It's like you didn't even read his post hahahah *NM* TyrReborn - 16/05/2020 03:53:40 PM 297 Views
There's always one moron, at least... fionwe1987 - 14/05/2020 07:27:50 PM 569 Views
It. Does. Not. Kill. People. Not at any level that should affect public policy Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:10:51 AM 654 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 633 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 590 Views
Roland your mind works in bizarre ways. damookster - 13/05/2020 01:20:58 PM 612 Views
Revelations is merely the sequel to Daniel, Mark of the Beast and all that. Roland00 - 13/05/2020 05:06:21 PM 566 Views
And just to be nit-picky.... Jeordam - 13/05/2020 05:07:20 PM 586 Views
We really should translate the Greek into Roland00 - 13/05/2020 05:40:24 PM 589 Views
Thank you *NM* Tom - 15/05/2020 02:13:40 PM 292 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 297 Views
Good point. damookster - 15/05/2020 03:29:39 PM 564 Views
Seriously though, why can't we keep Gates away from Education? *NM* Roland00 - 15/05/2020 06:03:06 PM 306 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 602 Views
Yes this is an uniquely American perspective. damookster - 15/05/2020 07:54:49 PM 618 Views
They really don't in the way it happens here. fionwe1987 - 15/05/2020 09:18:24 PM 623 Views
Could be. LiterateDog - 15/05/2020 09:29:15 PM 625 Views
Do you even have the slightest clue where kings came from? *NM* Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:17:11 AM 310 Views
and then we wonder damookster - 16/05/2020 12:57:09 AM 602 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 597 Views
Furthermore like I said earlier Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:17:44 AM 607 Views
As usual damookster - 16/05/2020 03:31:31 AM 610 Views
Says who the governors are overstepping their authority? Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:56:19 AM 594 Views
Are you kidding me? damookster - 16/05/2020 04:09:46 AM 577 Views
Mookie why is it only one direction in the past? Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:20:07 AM 610 Views
Multiple Sherriffs and DAs who refuse to enforce their orders agree they are unconstitutional. damookster - 16/05/2020 04:26:48 AM 579 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 598 Views
So if their edicts violate their state constitution, aren’t they still unconstitutional? *NM* damookster - 16/05/2020 04:48:25 AM 284 Views
Yes but sweeping generalizations lead to metaphor sheer Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:57:41 AM 562 Views
Roland, this has been fun damookster - 16/05/2020 05:05:18 AM 566 Views
Mookie like always I do hope for the best with you, Good Night *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 05:30:13 AM 281 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 273 Views
Ok, give me a logical alternative... fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 03:30:30 AM 622 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 560 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 707 Views
Originally? Really? damookster - 16/05/2020 04:13:12 AM 561 Views
Why should I trust your memory, after all we do not agree about authority. *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:21:17 AM 278 Views
Yes because obviously one is related to the other. *NM* damookster - 16/05/2020 04:29:04 AM 303 Views
I'm 32, but I don't think age should be a factor here... fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 05:34:31 AM 548 Views
I believed that 50 years ago. damookster - 17/05/2020 12:10:37 AM 578 Views
Can you stop with the “futility” thesis? Roland00 - 17/05/2020 03:23:35 AM 535 Views
This isn't making much sense fionwe1987 - 17/05/2020 04:30:24 PM 583 Views
One must imagine Sisyphus Happy? Roland00 - 17/05/2020 04:33:45 PM 552 Views
If, like Roland, you perceive whatever I write through the lens of rhetoric damookster - 17/05/2020 06:25:05 PM 540 Views
