    While I do not believe that life is fair - because it isn’t- I have a deep sense of justice and fairness whenever possible. I believe you get what you deserve, you reap what you sow, and justice should always be served. It’s probably why I’m so pissed about what’s going on. I’m so sick of people just ignoring the law or subpoenas or whatever it may be, and not being held accountable. Nothing seems to matter anymore. Everyone just does what they want with no repercussions.

    funny thing is, i first typed… “violence generally begets…”

    …but removed “generally” because i thought it could be used as a semantically based point of contention.

    I have no problem or contention with what you wrote. Everyone is different. Everyone has limits. I have limits that when they have been crossed or if they are crossed, especially when it comes to protecting my family, that I would or have resulted to violence. Is that right? Don't know. Do I expect everyone to react the same? No. There are certain things that I can't walk away from. Many would consider that being weak. I'm fine with that.

    Agreed. It's also ironic how many of the "anti-commie" crowd are eating it up, hook, line, and sinker.

    Some marriages aren't meant to last.

    And I've got the black eye and crooked nose to prove your point, but did you have to split my lip as well.

    speaking of preventable war. Of course there are moments that require violence. But mostly for self defense or to stop an atrocity taking place at that moment.
    Were speaking of wars here.

    well at least you are starting to admit you carry alot of anger over things…

    just don't mistake complacency with the fact that some of us understand, letting these things control our emotions doesn't do any good.

    The last time America was great was August 1945.

    Do you mean America stopped being great that month, or that month was the pinnacle of it's greatness?

    Interesting point. I would favor the pinnacle as a reference point. We created Air force weapons such as the billion dollar B29 bomber program, atomic bomb, fought the war on multiple fronts, supported other nations, advanced our science and was able to convert factories to war producing assets. We also took Europeon gold and valuable assets. After August 1945, when the cold war started, the dark government established itself.

    A prime example is Kyle Rittenhouse and subsequently, the jurors who vindicated him.
