Ha! Thanks guys, sorry, I've been ridiculously busy with both my jobs and haven't been online a ton so I haven't been around but thanks a ton and it was a good birthday! We took the kiddo to the apple orchard I grew up near and spent tons of time at and just had a fantastic family day. Even got...

It's great to hear from you man, like really, really great. Keep on raking in that sweet solitaire dough and reading, thats good stuff there.

No worries man, sorry you feel that way. Go ahead and get the thread back on topic. If you want to talk more feel free to pm me.

Well, like I've said before, I generally enjoy talking with you, and I like this thread and the folks who engage in it, but yeah, if a discussion hits a point where it feels like it's just ramming into a brick wall then I'm alright saying lets just agree to disagree.

I won't deny being sarcastic or making jokes, but I don't believe I've insulted or attacked anyone personally. If I did or anyone took anything as a personal attack on them I'm sorry for that for sure.

I'll tell you this, I am impressed with your constancy in insulting language and attempts to twist words into whatever makes others look stupid and allows you to ignore actually dealing with the content. I mean, you aren't JCM but you've clearly learned from the best.

Pretty much dude. I mean, I could sit here and point out how you always go on a pissy little offensive anytime I don't engage with whatever weird rabbit hole you run down instead of actually dealing with the conversation whats the point? You make it really unpleasant to converse with when people...

Ok.

Oh are we at that point in the conversation then? Yay.

You know what I've noticed here and other places, is that people seem to be using the fringes of movements as the barometric for the discussion of it (which is what a lot of this conversation feels like). I cant imagine how healthy it would be for people to get off tumblr and youtube more. It's...

Despite that being a kind of tongue in cheek generalization I made (I should have put a winky face or something, anyone who knows me knows that I have a lot of respect for the military, I mean, hell I fucking married into it), it still says nothing to contrast my very serious statement that I...

Excellent we've established it's ok for us to have opinions on something. I think it's possible you are reading a lot into what I think or don't think military service entails. You might want to re-read my post where I say: *And no, I'm not saying people in the military don't learn things that...

Man, you are right, how would I know what military service entails? It's not like anyone in my life has ever had anything to do with the military. Well, other than my Dad, my brother, my wife, my brother-in-law. my best friend... I mean I could go on about what kind of service I think might...

They do but I'll give you 2 guesses as to which lesson I think is more valuable for someone who might be in the position to influence how our society functions and what laws and regulations govern it.

I honestly, other than that one scientist who did that great "Lets break down the global warming debate into 4 sections video", hate EVERY SINGLE YOUTUBE OPINION VIDEO EVER. They all annoy me. It's always like watching shitty combinations of some dumb entertainment show and Fox News.

I tend to think that people serving the poorest of the poor and taking care of the sick would create far better leaders than the alternative but I'm crazy like that. I'd much rather have leaders who know what it's like to be shit on by society and have to decide if you pay your water bill or...

I can't say how against that I am. I guess I just did. Shit. I'd actually offer this instead: Mandatory 2 years public service. It can be military or any of a wide variety of non-profits that help people here and abroad. I mean, I'm not a fan of mandatory anything but I think there's a lot of...

Believe me, what you are saying is something other people have said about a lot of people here over the years. And trust me, a lot of you guys should be glad we don't ban people that others here find irritating or annoying or the place would just be @Bumble and @Gusto having a tea party with...

Look, we all want to be Batman and there can be only one Batman so get in line guys.

You make it sound like it doesn't take a butt-ton of bravery and courage to advocate for something that won't affect you at all and probably isn't even needed but might get other people killed or injured or give them serious PTSD and cause serious hardships for families all over the...
