    I get that I'm responding to my own "poast" again, but this time was intentional. I was also kinda wondering if I intentionally did that yesterday.

    It's never too late. I suggest not going past about season 9. After that, it gets...suspect.

    Season 1 isn't great, but seasons 2-8/9 is where the money is.

    Geez guys, let it go.
    If your point is to try and win Orion Baily over to your side, it's not working. At the very least it's a dead end and at the most it's counter productive. Why not shift your attention to more productive ends? There are lots of issues in this world we can discuss.
    These discussions are going nowhere. Sometimes you just have to walk away.

    Yep. As soon as I realized he wasn't able to provide any actual evidence to support his claim (or, that the "evidence" didn't make sense to a rational individual) the conversation was over.

    Thanks Lanny.

    Oh puuuhleAse. Just because one is able to dismiss evidence doesnt make it irrTional evidence

    its only not making sense because some people keep changimg the goals posts pulling out semantics to claim a stance.
    Its hilarious.
    Here are a few more from the first few pages.

    they arent trespassers. They are terrorists. Lol.
    But ptowns trespassers are just venting....


    I can see why when someones double standards are sooooo thick its hard to see through it though.. so i understand.


    Tell me there isnt an impartial stance from most in the forum and ill laugh my ass off. Evidence is thick aNd overwhelming.


    Whatevs. Lol.

    There was never a conversation. I posted a link to an article and then people came at me and they think they were trying to have a conversation??????

    lmfao.

    ima hypocrite. Your a hypocrite. Were all hypocrites. Yippy!!!


    At least im the honest one.....who is man enough to admit it. But these golden children of this forum who refuse to admit being wrong im the face of evidence is sooooo funny.


    Lol at some of you in your own little, “ im perfect because i can spin shot to never be wrong” worlds...

    How am I a hypocrite? That quote is from the riots in DC. Yes, it was terrorism. I also called out the violent rioters in Portland.

    Whatever happened to forgiveness and compassion.
    You cant say you love others if you have hate in your heart. My dear mother taught us this while she was alive and I know she still is nudging me on these precepts.
    What are you teaching your kids and grandkids?
    That's a question tor me as well!

    Not Bout you bro.

    proving my point that not everyone called jan 6th people tresspassers.
    It was said no one said that and i provided evidence is all.
    The theme last summer was those protesting violently last summer were venting.
    It was said “ damaged property< murder.”
    and we should dismiss the vandalism and insurrection of the police hq because at least they arent murdering people.
    But on jan6th they were terrorists from the get go.

    it was said no one said this. Im providing evidence(which will be denied/dismissed) to the contrary.

    Trespassers instead of terrorists? They were there to over throw an election. They weren't terrorists from the get go...they were terrorists when then they forced their way past police, killing some of them in the process, to hunt down the VP, senators, and members of the house to kidnap and kill them. They set up a gallow outside. We have heard first hand what their intentions were through their chants. We saw them carrying zip ties and duck tape and other materials used to tie people up. They nearly got the VP, passing by the room he was in. (They would have killed him). That is terrorism.

    No the vandalism this past summer should not and has not been dismissed. A lot of those people have been arrested and rightfully so. Most of the summer violence was anarchists pretending to align with BLM protests.

    I don't agree with burning down buildings, breaking windows, stealing, etc.

    The summer protests were about continued police brutality against people of color. Anarchists made it look bad. January was about a group of people trying to actually overthrow the government and an election. We can argue over the semantics to which is worse, but it seems pretty obvious to me.

    I think if you asked most people in here they would say they are not ok with burning down buildings, breaking windows, stealing, et, or on the other side trying to take the Capitol building and trying to hunt down and murder government officials, killing police along the way.

    for sure. Now. But that was not the sentiment last year. I even posted one post already from a member who stated as such. It was dismissed by those who keep coming back at me as irrational evidence. Lol.

    I'm retired and can waste time all day if I like......some of you guys are young....don't understand how time spent like this can possibly be productive on any level at all....stop living in the past and deal with today...my 2 cents.....vote...write your representatives.....take in a town hall meeting etc... Jan 6th and the BLM protests last summer are entirely different sets of circumstances.....arson and property damage, trespassing, etc are crimes...should be addressed as crimes....Jan 6th was an attempted political coup in our nations capitol in a building holding the vast majority of our representatives and the vice president....it is not on the same level as unrest in cities across the nation over racial profiling and police brutality....in DC cops were badly injured and killed by american flags. and fire extinguishers...let's have some perspective.....whataboutism is just a shit stirring stick

    does time in a day for a person matter? Ill manage mine you manage yours?

    second, history matters. When people arent held accountable for thier words when actively trying to put spin on history, it matters.

    if it didn't, why are people still bringing up trump and his past?
    Some more double standards there? Or?
