Unfortunately someone edited out the insults you used. I wish the records were clear, so irritated by false information. It reminds me of people in the media having to apologize every time they say something someone somewhere doesn't like. Get over it.
Not really someone. It was myself. I caught myself saying stuff that wasn't right, so I corrected. What's wrong with that? I have a conscience at least (somewhat).
The Trail Blazers are so bad this season, we have infected the Blazer board with this thread....We really need some victories. It's all NO fault! Then HCP for trolling us with this thread.
@HCP I think we're all a bit more civil when it comes to talking bout the Blazers. Talking Politics gets intense in the OT...but all really mean well, and actually respect one another to a certain extent, even though it doesnt sound like it.
I think now that we're getting back into grudges and debates that people have about each others' world views, this belongs with the OT discussions.
You really brought this into another thread? HAH. It was an angered response to someone getting too personal. Yeah, I shouldn't respond like that, but I'm gonna respond heatedly if someone calls me an asshole, asks if I'm fucking blind, etc. We all do it. Is it cool? No. But it happens. I don't see how that plays a part in the bigger picture, in terms of tolerated groups of people. Tolerating someone in a personal argument is different than being tolerant of groups of people. I still don't know why you brought that into this thread.
I'd disagree that something about Bill Clinton was a good point in that thread (although I don't remember the specifics). To an adult, maybe Clinton is a relevant "but he did it too" point. To an 11(?) year old, Bill Clinton is just ancient history, like Grover Cleveland. Trump is president now (well, in a couple of days). barfo
Our OT section is the only place I go to read and contribute about politics on the entire internet (sans Twitter). I follow a lot of "like-minded" people on twitter. I think it's important to see things from the other side and boy do I get plenty of that here, which is my goal. I will admit that some of the Trump supporters here have actually helped tame some of my genuine fear I have of that man. Unknowingly just by reading SOME of their takes. But then I hop on twitter and all I need to see is one fucking tweet from him and my fears rise to the surface again. Perhaps this is where I come to chill the hell out on the whole thing? It's weird. I don't know what I'm doing. I just know, HCP, that you're a good dude and I'd suggest trying your best not to carry over your feelings of people from one side of the board (OT) to the other. Between the heated, caps lock insults there is some really compelling, thought provoking shit here.
When Bill was voted in as President, I knew who Gerald Ford was (the same amount time difference, 16 years). but I was loser who ate glue and picked his nose.
Come on. I get ripped all the time by conservatives on here, which I think is the majority of those talking political stuff in the OT, and I dont whine about it. I bite fucking back, even if I dont make sense. Because arguing is fun
I think it helps if you assign cartoon voices to posters when you read their threads.....Foghorn Leghorn, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian, etc....but Sly will always be Bugs Bunny to me in a Brunehilde Valkyrie costume
