The Simple Truths Silver Mine

[memphis]

 
Man, I'm just not buying it.  I may be an old boring married guy but I wasn't always this way.  I've been laid in a number of "Western Countries."  I do not remember any conversations involving either of us asking the other for permission each step of the way.  This seems really bizarre.  Is this the kind of conversation that young people have these days during foreplay?  Seriously?  I'm having trouble believing any of this.  It's a little embarrassing to have to paint a picture for you, but I sometimes think we may just have to do it.  Go back to the basics.  You people really ought to get offline once in a while and experience the world.  This sort of thinking isn't healthy.

At least Oldies finally put a one liner he likes where it belongs and not in the Good Post Gallery.

Also I don't know who in Madison is mooching. It is a very prosperous, well-educated, and wealthy city.

Basically, to him, most any Democratic consitituency is to be labeled "freeloaders" or "moochers." 'Very trite, really. Krazen reminds me a lot of David Duke in this regard.

People would take him much more seriously if he did without the unnecesarry and hateful epithets.

That's too bad. 

And they actually had a decent video too that would've made a far better ad.

This one just makes you feel good, even if you totally disagree with their policies.

That's worse in a lot of ways.  Anybody can say, "I'm a member of XYZ party because I like good, fresh ideas and jobs and opportunity and liberty and freedom and stock footage of American flags."  If you don't even go into your specific beliefs, you could just change a few words and that ad could be a young Democrats or young Green Party or young libertarians ad.  It's just an example of empty rhetoric.

I'm pretty sure Karl Marx himself would be tarred and feathered as a "neoliberal sellout" the second he deviated from the glorious plan on some minor and irrelevant issue.

The same would apply to any True Libertarian example and their followers, too.

Do we have any True Libertarians?

This post wins the Silver Mine. Both for its simplicity and it's truthfulness

I don't think the forum views me that way

They do.

Two entries, one thread:

Good to see Kobach sucking the hairy balls of justice and choking on them.

If nothing else, the 2014 elections are probably the most sexualized that elections have ever been on Atlas Forum.

What right does BRTD have to define a bad thread?

Edit:  Reposted to the Silver Mine only 37 seconds later, such is its truthfulness.  You're doing much better these days, Sanchez.

The right to choose should be allowed at any stage of pregnancy, without any questions asked. It should be performed free of charge and the stigma associated with getting an abortion should be vigorously combated with a public information campaign. Anti-abortion terrorists who bomb clinics and kill doctors (and women who get abortions) in an effort to intimidate women and assert patriarchal dominance over them should be tried for hate crimes and sentenced to death if found guilty.

Its not racist to dislike Islam.

Well, it would be good news for the pro-lifers who actually want to stop abortions. It wouldn't be very good news for the ones who want to punish women for having sex and couldn't care less about abortions, babies, or children.

Well guys, it's been a hell of a ride, but I think it's time to shut down the Atlas Forum forever.

Israel does not go out deliberately to kill civilians to intimidate anyone who does not hew totally to their incredibly cruel vision of an absolute theocratic state, reducing women to chattel, among other things, many other things. Anyone who misses that, and conflates the two entities, has either a lack of conscience, or an agenda, or is very misinformed in my opinion.

Rick Scott is no better than Charlie Crist. Really the only real choice Floridians have is Adrian Wyllie.

It's kind of adorable how corrupt Alaskan politicians are.

CNN also said NH-Sen was a tie. Outlier.

LOL OMG AND DIDNT THEY SAY SARKOZY WOULD BE RE-ELECTED AND THAT COLOMBIA WOULD WIN THE WORLD CUP THIS YEAR? HA HA

While you are hardly unique in this regard, most people would probably have more respect for someone who, with a history of making predictions defying conventional wisdom that did not pan out, expressed greater epistemic uncertainty when making a similar prediction in the present, and did not make ad hominem attacks against those who subscribed to conventional wisdom. True, you too have been victim of ad hominem attacks, but those are in large part a (desired?) consequence of your conduct agitating for a dispute.
