    A question was asked. I answered. It wasn’t a “this place looks awesome I’m excited to be here” answer but it was the honest answer, and I strive to be honest at all times. Someone decided to challenge my answer, and I responded with the exact info requested. I didn’t generalize or try to spin...

    Oh you poor thing. Someone doesn’t like open racism, and you chose to step in and defend it, so now you are the victim of tyranny. How traumatic for you. I’d rather be talking a about other stuff too. But I don’t have a snazzy lawnmower, I never found my fishing license after moving a few years...

    Yeah if your opinion is racist I don’t want to listen to it. Not all opinions are worth listening to. Honestly, this shouldn’t be controversial. You can talk about opinions of Trump all you want. I’ll state my own, and we can have a merry argument. I’m not going to start sharing your opinions...

    I haven’t been insulting. And I’m here because unchallenged racism on a gun-adjacent forum helps support the case that gun owners are racist, which is ammunition for the anti-gun crowd.

    The Two Party Picnic

    Nope. I never thought Hillary had a chance. Remember, none of these people would be my choice. I don’t like the Democrats, have never wanted one elected. The major parties haven’t had a single presidential candidate that I could vote for, in my entire life.

    The Two Party Picnic

    Is your goal to reduce the actual number of abortions? If you want to reduce the actual number of abortions, banning abortions isn’t the way to accomplish your goal. The way to accomplish your goal is to address the conditions that lead to abortions. Most abortions are caused by people who lack...

    The Covid scam

    According to who? I’ve been watching this whole thing since it began and nobody has actually said those things. They’ve said that some parks needed to be closed briefly because they were attracting too many people, leading to overcrowding...but at exactly the same time (sometimes in the same...

    The Covid scam

    The lock down sucks. It’s not the way I’d have preferred it be handled. However, I can say first hand that not locking down hasn’t been any fun either. Texas never had a hard lockdown. They had some limits but they bent over backwards to keep everything they could open, and rolled back the...

    The problem here is that I provided enough information for you to research the context of the quote. You, rather than saying, “yeah that’s maybe not great, I’ll go look at the post and decide whether Ed is being oversensitive for myself”, instead made up a scenario specifically to try and create...

    Did you read the sentence that followed the one I quoted? It was not, “I am trying to protect a vulnerable population.” Your spin doesn’t hold up to even brief scrutiny. Sometimes, what doesn’t offend is far more telling.

    Honestly, traffic is so low on this forum that it hasn’t been as common as my first impression led me to believe. But, for the record, this is the specific post that caused that comment: https://notechtyranny.com/index.php?threads/anyone-catch-covid-19-yet.44/post-809 “...I limit my mask...

    “Alleged friends”? Nah. Coexisting on the same forum, or even a shared interest, does not make a person my friend. As for THR moderation, it has its place, but it also has problems. I actually rather like some of the mods there, but others, well, they have exactly the same problem we see in many...

    The Two Party Picnic

    Magnum, There are a few problems with your position as it relates to this thread. The first is the one we’re all likely to experience next year. Odds are, the Republicans will lose the White House and quite possibly the senate. You’ll end up in the minority position (just like me, wheee), and...

    The Covid scam

    In the U.S., for Oct. 1, 2019 – Apr. 4, 2020, the CDC estimates that there were 39 million to 56 million cases of flu, and that 24,000 to 62,000 people died from the flu. There have been 3,902,233 cases in the U.S., and 142,073 people have died of COVID-19, as of July 22, 2020. So let’s say...

    The Two Party Picnic

    The Covid scam

    The problem with that view is that it’s actually more sadistic to set up a situation where even routine activities could lead to the death of yourself or your loved ones. If sadism was the goal, you wouldn’t want a lockdown, you’d want the disease to spread far and wide. People want to go back...

    The Covid scam

    Yeah, the lockdowns were dumb. Unfortunately, the American people have demonstrated that they have no middle ground. Japan didn’t have a lockdown. No movement restrictions, no business closures. It worked fine. But at the same time they had basically universal adoption of reasonable...

    The Covid scam

    Why call out that “Fed dollars play a part” if it’s not significant? It’s not a game to me. People - real people - are dying, and folks buying into political interpretations instead of accepting reality is increasing the number of deaths. Focusing on the trivial as a way of dismissing the...

    The Covid scam

    Lol. Here’s substance: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2767980 You claim there is significant over reporting due to “Fed dollars”, but the facts indicate significant under reporting. I am not disagreeing that some reporting may take be taking place in where...
