Everybody makes mistakes but it takes a real pussy to fess up to it. Admitting failure is a sign of weakness.

It makes total sense. All you do on the Poli board is rail on Trump and his supporters. You've admitted as much. And you brought it here.
what is it exactly that you do on the OT?

Um yea, you're being contrarian on this board. But nice way to be an example of the thread's title.

what popular opinion did I reject?

if we are going by upvote/downvote, it would seem like my opinion is the popular one...

Trump. And you made you comment knowing the exact kind of responses you'd get.

Ah so you're going with my sarcastic first reply in the thread, gotcha. All I did was ask a question, not make an argument. Do you have a strawman from the actual conversation we were having?

I didn't reject Trump. Just gave him as an example.

You cast him in a negative light all the time. Can you stop pretending like you don't make the posts on the poli board that you make?

There's only one.

They suck.

Making a mistake is human. Not an issue. Make amends and move on.



Preach brutha. Tops my list of worst people to deal with.


This could've been a decent thread if it wasn't derailed by poli-cucks.
