> [@Slash1972](#): > > What has Randy “Macho Man” Savage taught you? That Slim Jims are fucking awesome. 😃 Which places him slightly below Dan and way above Mike. I think Adam might be the best Savage, though, in no small part because of [this tweet](https://twitter.com/donttrythis/status/1054171597425147904). ---

I’m a little confused by people who see a board with the expressed purpose of Fighting Ignorance, take the trouble to choose a name, join, and compose posts, then start their own thread… knowing that their Spreading Ignorance isn’t going to do any good. Do they not read a few threads first and realize this place is predominantly Smartypantses? (I do realize this OP could just be someone who wants to ‘rile dem libs’, who’s possibly been here before… but my point applies to decades of predecessors) ---

> [@Miller](#): > > I don’t know, but right wingers eat that shit up. The left isn’t immune to it, by any means, but right wing loons seem to have had a lot more success peddling it - almost all these shrieking demagogues like Savage have a major side-line in snake oil. Not really the point I was trying to make. Kimstu said, Savage’s endorsement of homeopathy doesn’t speak well for his intelligence. Yankees 1996 Champs responded specifically to that comment, quoting it, by saying yes, Savage is right wing: as if the only thing wrong with supporting homeopathy were that he thinks Kimstu perceives it as a right wing position. I was trying, apparently not very successfully, to point out that Champs’ answer is a nonsequitur. FWIW, the homeopathy-favoring people I know are mostly far left. I’m not surprised to hear that it’s gone in for by multiple sides, however. ---

I’ll just point out, here, that in a matter-antimatter reaction between samples of baryonic matter (i.e., where most of the mass is in protons and neutrons), over half of the available energy will end up in neutrinos, which will not contribute in any meaningful way to anything that could be described as an “explosion”. Though you would end up with a lot of scientists at Homestake and Kamiokande saying “what the Hell was that?” well before the shock front reached them. ---

> [@Yankees\_1996\_Champs](#): > > A sense of belonging. > > A sense that Americans have a bond of honor, trust, strength, faith. > > Those things have been lost since the 1990s. Lets talk about that bond of honor, trust, strength, faith. You are either not from these parts or willfully ignorant. Back in the bygone days when we had a bond of honor, trust, strength, faith, it was OK for cops to belong to the KKK. Lynching was OK. Blacks having to go to separate schools, use different bathrooms, use different water fountains…that was OK. Not as OK as the bygone days of bonds of honor, trust, strength and faith when the blacks could be sold as property and savagely beaten or killed if they misbehaved. You ever hear of [Emmett Till](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till)? But the conservatives eventially had to make allowances. They could _still_ have a world where gays had to hide for fear of being beaten of killed and have the cops not care so much, so long as it wasn’t on the front page. Because if gays complained to the cops, they would arrested. Ya know, for doing _gay-stuff_. (it was illegal!) They could have a world where non-white, non-Christian and non-heterosexuals could be treated as second class citizens. And women, barefoot and pregnant. Or, if in the workplace, OK to ogled, pawed at, harassed and told they could only keep their jobs by sucking the boss’s cock and get fired if they complained. All while working for less than a man would get. Woman were to be subservient. The office place was a bastion white men, Christian and Straight! It was good, because they a bond of honor, trust, strength, faith! And you could practice your faith in a catholic church where they didn’t have to hear all the talk about Priest’s molesting kids. They didn’t do that back then. Because Priests had bonds of honor, trust, strength and faith! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: The good old days weren’t nearly as good as some people remember. ---

Nothing to do with race. Taking writing lessons from Trump’s notes? [I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo.](https://www.wired.com/story/trump-notes-photographer/) It sounds like you’re echoing somebody else’s talking points when you say “no sense of faith, no sense of valor” and hoping that passes as self-evident. “No sense of faith” as in what, no faith in the president? No faith in Christian worship? No faith in general stuff? What aspect of society lacks valor? ---
