Trump used that despicable pejorative twice today.This retarded catch-22 you leftists have set up is quite something.
You're a good little Trump devotee.
That may be why it was on my mind. Also just a great insult. Used it before on this board several times.
You need to find some sense of purpose, you can’t hang off Trump’s every word every day and let it fuck with your emotional state.
Also, I spend 3-4 nights a month at Misericordia. My cousins live there.
Performative outrage about naughty words is not going to work on me. Not from the people that support aborting a Down syndrome child because they’re too inconvenient.
No one who works/volunteers with developmentally disabled people would ever use the word "retarded." Like most of what you post here, your claim is undoubtedly bullshit.
I really don't give a shit what you do at night, but maybe you should spend at least 3-4 nights a month getting laid. That might help your perpetually dour disposition.
No, I don't "support aborting a Down Syndrome child because they're too inconvenient," nor have I have ever posted anything, ever, that would suggest I do. But you're doing what people do when they struggle to make a compelling argument or retort. They demonize the other person, make stuff up, throw everything against the wall, and hope that some of it sticks.
You're pretty awful.
1. I’m posting so others can read what the arguments are from both sides, from two people with experience in the area.@bradstevens why not post your own thoughts instead of others?
2. On the legal issue, I’m not quite sure. I’m not experienced in the rules of war, so I’m still trying to figure it out. At this point, I don’t buy McCarthy’s argument if he’s trying to say there are no civilians in sharia regimes.
3. Me posting “man I wish he didn’t say that” or “that is a bad look” does what exactly? Virtue signal I’m in the right group? That doesn’t interest me.
The GIF I posted sums up my first blush response.
I don't know what that last sentence means.Or, unlike you, I like to know what I’m talking about.@twenty He likes to read the room before wading in.
“Christian” Bowlmania at it again.
Not sure what I said to set you off. Many people, particularly those on the timid side, like to read the room before offering an opinion.
So we’re clear. If Trump doesn’t always live up to or follow through on his bluster and threats, he is “TACO”, a chicken. These would be bluster and threats that you overwhelmingly disagree with and don’t want carried out of course. One would think you’d be celebratory…
If he does follow through with said threats, it’s because the TACO allegations got to him and he didn’t want to appear weak.
Really it doesn’t matter if he delivers on his threats at all, either way he’s a coward or thin skinned, you can always hammer him
This retarded catch-22 you leftists have set up is quite something.
Why is it a catch 22 to rightly call him out for not delivering on threats and promises, regardless if you agree with them or not? Pointing out that he failed to deliver on a promise doesn't mean people aren't glad he over promised and under delivered. Maybe if he didn't lead by Truth Social tweets he wouldn't be rightly called out for being a dumbass who consistently issues empty threats.
Many people, particularly on the emotional side, need to post emotional rants every day about their topic of hate. And then claim they are Christians.I don't know what that last sentence means.Or, unlike you, I like to know what I’m talking about.@twenty He likes to read the room before wading in.

What was your screen name at Rivals?

I should probably come clean, since I changed my screen name too. I was hookyIU1990 on the old Rivals site.

What was your screen name at Rivals?
I know Rivals as a sports recruiting site and I've checked it out more than a few times in the past. I don't believe I've ever had an account there though and, in any event, I don't see how that's relevant.
You seem to be coming on very strong here with the Christian references. Yes, I'm Christian as I'm sure most people here are. I don't talk about that very much, though, and I never proselytize here, as some do. I did mention that I'm a Christian in the thread I started about the shift among a number of people in this administration, in public statements, from "God" to "Christ" or "Jesus." In the same thread, I discussed a specific recent incident involving Hegseth. I thought it was important to disclose my religion so I wouldn't be accused of having some "anti-Christian" agenda.
You seem to be challenging my faith in this discussion, with a not-so-veiled reference to me as someone who "claims" to be a Christian. I guess you think I'm some massive hypocrite or "faux" Christian. I'd like to know why you believe that. I'd also like you to point out some of my daily "emotional rants" and "topics of hate." Wow, pretty strong language, but not based in fact. Seems like a stretch perhaps, but do you have me confused with RamRod?
I don't agree with it, but I accept your atheism without judgment. Perhaps you could do the same with respect to my Christianity.
Think that’s the second or third time I’ve asked about your rivals name. And you continue to refuse to provide it. Pretty telling.Many people, particularly on the emotional side, need to post emotional rants every day about their topic of hate.

Unlike you, I have a history of attempting to maintain good relations on here with people on both sides of the political aisle. Sometimes I fuck up. But you’ve been a prick since you arrived, in the same manner as Bowl.
Whoever you are, I’m sick of your passive aggressive personal shots. If you’re going to take one, don’t cry when I return the favor.

That's pretty funny. You falsely accuse me of "emotional rants" and then proceed with an emotional rant.
No, I'm not a "prick." I treat people respectfully, except for two or three who lack self-control and civility. You seem to be moving into that territory.
I saw a post from you last week where you called two of the better posters here "self-righteous." Look in the mirror, dude.
Tell you what. Don't reply to my posts and I won't reply to yours. Deal?

I took no offense. I know I'm right. Brad is a douche.
