Just like German and Japanese kids in WWII. War is hell.

If only you were as concerned with the hippies that got killed on 10/7.


World War II was 80 years ago. We’ve made some progress in humanity since then. Not enough, but some. Black people couldnt drink out of the same water fountain as white people in 1945. They got lynched for saying hello to a white woman. But women had recently secured voting privileges! They couldn’t have a credit card of their own yet, though.

Custard proves again and again why I called him the poster boy for white male indifference. The irony is right under his nose and he misses it every time.

What irony? I liked the quote so much I put it in my sig.

No one wants to read page after page of the same dumb off topic argument happening in myriad threads.

You like it because you think it doesn’t apply to you. Yet it fits you perfectly.

You have a difficult time seeing the world through the eyes of other people. Just own it.

I’d wager I do wayyyyy more for marginalized people both in our local community and the world at large than you do. Virtue signaling on a sports forum just isn’t how I do it.

Dovetailing then from my post on the other thread. The biggest problem here is that nothing he said in the campaign can be taken seriously, and that is going to choke the economy because nobody knows what to plan. Do we plant X number of acres of cabbage? We have no clue if we will have labor or not. Should I be digging into my dishwasher's status to see if I might be losing him so I can plan my employee base?

I mean, sure, it's very clever of him to lie and tell people who want millions of people deported that he will do it, if he has no actual intention to do so, to get the votes and then just wander to the next topic. Or maybe he wants to but he can't pull it off.

He's like a bad spouse who tells you when you get home from work that your in-laws are coming during monday night football.

I don’t think it’s that deep. He made big promises he’ll make a mere token attempt to keep. Deportation will be one of them.

I don’t think the economy is that worried about Trump based on what the stock market did today.

Basically 50 million people are either in on the joke or were bamboozled. I mean, I guess I have no problem with someone saying "I voted for Trump because he's gonna close the border and deport the immigrants" - it's a democracy after all. But if that has nothing to do with what he's actually gonna do - what the hell was anyone voting upon?

The stock market on a day to day basis is shit. Nvidia stock has dropped over 30% multiple times in the last 5 years. Yet it is at an all time high today. Plenty of people were "worried" about the company (including Q97 who shorted it) despite the fact the company just keeps churning out more and more money.

Hey, that’s great. Really. But based on your many comments on women, minorities, and now dead children, it seems like you’re not especially dialed in in the empathy department and not very good at understanding the plight of others outside of your pamapered/catered to white American Christian male existence.

I’m not saying you’re a TERRIBLE person. I don’t think you are. I just think you have a pretty narrow perspective sometimes.

So dishonesty is not a bug. It’s a feature.
