> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > Then why do you whine so much when you get criticized? That’s just other folks telling you their opinions about your posts. And yet you whine endlessly – lately the majority of your posts are no more than whining about this board and this board’s posters. Opinions are fine. Lies and manipulation of the board powder structure to enforce double standards is fine as well. But don’t be disingenuous and call pointing out the double standards and at times lack of standards whining. I also don’t mind accurate and fair criticism. But you folks aren’t accurate or fair. This is a long running game to you folks and you can’t deny it. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > And you are wrong. I am perfectly entitled to share my opinion as I wish when I wish. I don’t care how it’s characterized. You might not like that reality but it is what it is. And that’s the point really, it doesn’t matter what or how you think things should be. They are what they are and there are logical points of view that should be considered if one is really fearful for one’s life regardless of the perspective of the wokesphere. You are entitled to yell “Kike, Nigger, Fag!” in the middle of a full movie theater. Unless you have Turrets, the rest of us are entitled to call you a racist asshole. I’m glad we’ve finally reached an understanding. You’re absolutely right about one thing - The Pit really does bring people together. ---

Doesn’t seem to be a stretch to apply that widely accepted board concept to rioting and looting. ---

Doesn’t seem to be a stretch to apply that widely accepted board concept to rioting and looting. It depends. Who is doing the stretching? Seems to me, you happily stretch things to ridiculous extremes nobody supports, and then disingenuously accuse others for having done so. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > Try some honesty and integrity. > > No. It’s just each of the major parties is composed of a motley coalition of convenient allies that each intraparty faction hopes to control and exploit. I find the factions on the left to be more destructive to the nation as a whole than the factions on the right. So, even if I agree with a lot of the concepts on the social side of the left the far left and the counterproductive economic pandering is a complete turn off. Unfortunately, the right has its fair share of dangerous concepts but economically at least they understand supply and demand. Your error appears to lie in the fact that you perceive the “far left” and their “economic pandering” as being sufficiently significant to amount to more than rounding errors when considered along the entire spectrum of what can legitimately be described as “the Left.” The possibility exists that I am similarly in error wrt the far right. Given documented historical facts, however, the existence of that possibility is quite rightly relegated to “minuscule” in size and scope. ---

Forgive me if I no longer choose to hop through your hoops. No surprise – you choose laziness. You’re the laziest motherfucker on this board. No doubt you’ll rationalize this to yourself – “I’m not lazy, I just refuse to put in effort for [xyz bullshit rationalization]”. How do you possibly expect to convince anyone of anything at all when you refuse to put even the tiniest bit of effort? Do you accept such laziness from your kids? Are you this lazy in your real life? If not, why are you so damn lazy on this board? ---

Who cares what he lived through? It’s irrelevant.
