me? diss you for being 25? better show me the quote in reference to what I was responding to.[/QUOTE] fuck wrong quote, meant to quote barfo not you
Ok, but I've never called Trump a fascist. I have criticized him plenty, and you've objected to my criticism. Still not clear why. Plenty of drone killings, for sure. I don't think that makes him somehow corrupt. It just means he was trying to kill terrorists without getting soldiers killed. It may not have been good policy, but what would you have had him do instead? Please be specific. barfo
Because it's relevant to the topic at hand, which you brought up. Namely, age-related gullibility. We could take a poll, but I'd guess that most people would agree that gullibility is higher in the young than the old. Experience and knowledge tends to make a person less gullible. The average 50 year old has more life experience than the average 25 year old. barfo
Only time I address any trump talk is when it gets outrageous because it's one thing to say something that is true about somebody but to over exaggerate something because it fits your view, it gets a bit odd. Doesn't make him corrupt but makes all his peace talk pretty pointless. Yeah I mean imagine living in the middle east and your family members get killed and then labeled "collateral damage". Real peaceful. That's ridiculous to think any of that is okay
Right but I know a lot of dumb 50 year olds, I also know a lot of dumb 25 year olds. Sorry wise one, I will never mention age again. Like you said it's about life experience, this is just from mine so far. Just because you re older doesn't make you wiser and just because I am younger doesn't mean I am retarded but I know you think that and honestly i don't really care because I would much rather be in my position then constantly defending a side and making dad jokes about trump or some right wing topic.
You are pretty consistent in your insistence that criticism of Trump is unfair/biased/unimportant. I accept that you don't think he's a great president, but given that it's odd that you have such an objection to anyone else saying so. So, what you you have done differently, if you were in his shoes? barfo
good thing you don't read denny's posts then cause there wouldn't be enough time in the day lol, exaggeration for humor
Enjoy it while you can, eventually you'll be old yourself. I'm not going to be around to find out, but it would be amusing to see what your 50 year old self thinks of your 25 year old self. barfo
I haven't given one shit that people say he is bad. I agree. What more do you want? you want me to completely be outrageous like you and go further in my dislike for trump? I don't hate people that much, sorry. I don't like him, I am not with him, that's that. Like I said the second somebody goes crazy and calls him a fascist that's where I draw the line because that's an absurd statement to make. Or that he is racist or with Russia. There is absolutely no proof of any of that. I am just being objective. I don't think Obama deserved some of the shit he got as well, doesn't mean I love him. I don't trust these politicians because they have proven they are full of shit each time. Democrat or Republican. I wouldn't make it okay for these people to get bombed, I mean I guess you are cool with these innocent kids, women, dudes, getting bombed just as long as the terrorist is taken out in the process. Just as long as you aren't there right? ignorance is bliss. I just know I wouldn't make that okay, shit should never be okay especially under an administration that wanted to bullshit me about peace and coming together. Can't say that while killing thousands of innocent people in the middle east under your watch. Obviously we never gave a fuck about our troops either, which explains the suicide rate. These politicians use them. That's it. Why are we still in the middle east? explain that. 16 almost 17 years over there. Open your eyes a bit
denny says crazy shit sometimes but I mean that's exactly what I am talking about. Everybody has different opinions. Do I think Denny or Barfo would join antifa or the neo nazis? fuck no. I don't think they create division, just impossible to talk to on politics because they will always hold one side and that's it, wont think any other way
well who knows what i will be thinking but I am not gonna assume very 25 year old is dumb. Some young people can teach you some things, open your mind up a bit. It's happened to me.
Ok, so you 'wouldn't make it okay'. What does that mean? Do you mean you wouldn't do any drone strikes? What would you do instead? Anything? Nothing at all? What's the Cippy plan? barfo
I try to look at myself objectively I mean yeah I have flaws, I can be aggressive in some topics and my opinion can be so strong that it often sounds like I am trying to say the other person is dead wrong or whatever or that I am mad when I am not. Sometimes I don't think things through clearly when I say them. Shit I have a chip on my shoulder. I mean I have flaws too. I admit it freely. I have way more to learn. Other than that in life I would think I have my priorities straight, I don't fuck with drugs, I don't party, I work out and work hard, have a house with the girlfriend. I mean yeah though I could totally learn more, I want to. I wanna try and see it from different sides, it's just that sometimes in portland you just never know what is coming at you. Some of the signs I see that they have at protests make me shake my head, they are so outrageous and dramatic.
I don't believe anyone thinks you are dumb, nor that all 20 somethings are. my son, who is older than you isn't dumb at all, yet experience is the only teacher who's lessons he takes to heart. the good and the very bad included.
Just for the record, I don't assume that every 25 year old is dumb. I know some very, very bright 25 year olds. barfo
No drone strikes, enough innocent people have died from that, don't need any more. Can't say I have a plan, I just know drone strikes are fucking terrible. I have seen documentaries and some families over there who lost loved ones over us really fucks with me man because what if that was you and your family? I mean really, it's fucked up. War is fucked.
I know some people on here who think I am straight retarded and barfo is one of them. Is what it is, they haven't met me, it's fine. Maybe my opinions have rubbed some people the wrong way but I never mean any bad intent with my opinions. Not out here trying to hurt people but yeah I know older people aren't like that. Sly has been very fair to me even when I have been dumb and accused him of being unfair. Others on here as well but there are a few who just think I am stupid and that's fine like I said
No, I don't think you are 'retarded'. If I did I wouldn't bother responding to your posts. I do think you have an unrealistic view of yourself and your own opinions sometimes. You aren't anywhere near as unbiased or objective as you think you are. And I think you do yourself a disservice by rejecting things wholesale (every politician is corrupt, all news is fake) rather than trying to look into the details. But 'retarded', no. barfo
if you are too delicate to hear that the president is a lying piece of shit, then don't read the OT section.
