Exactly.

It is hard to argue with a closed mind. But for the hope that something might seep in, when you said
quote:

Things are correct or they aren't
And then
quote:

When they're not correct, we have people who remove those ideas
you assert that is how society works. I am astounded you don't see the inconsistency of your thinking. Or maybe you do. In a very closed society, Stalin removed all inconsistent thought. Mao did. Castro did. Hitler did. Fast-forward to now. Who is removing options? Who is limiting diversity of thought? Who is not tolerating differences? Even historic ones?

I know Hitler was bad. Obviously. But I thought Mao and Stalin were generally regarded as gold leaders?

And we are back to talking WITH Cuba. I think they lifted the embargo. So Castro came around right?

This thread is dumb and unnecessary. I'm requesting an admin to shut it down. Hate speech will not be tolerated and your employer will be informed about this.

A long long time ago
I can still remember how
New Orleans used to make me smile
And I knew if New Orleans had a chance
That they could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But May made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about how Lee, and PGT would no longer ride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the New Orleans died

So
Bye, bye Miss Hubig Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that NOLA dies This'll be the day that New Orleans dies

Lucas, the crystal clarity of your inconsistency of thought and sophomoric stabs at wisdom speaks volumes. That you and Breesus are the appointed spokespersons for your notions of how real society works have me convinced and converted. Please give me the kool-aid you've been drinking. I have some weeds I need to kill.

Lucas and Breesus are the most level headed people on this site. They are learned in many topics and their logic is consistent and reasoned.

I think you have a lot of soul searching to do.

You're too blinded by your hatred to really hear. I hope one day you'll see the error in your ways but until then we can't have your hate poisoning the minds of others. You and your ilk need to be silenced, then we can have true diversity.

I've contacted the admins about having your hate posts removed from the site.

Hate speech is the antithesis of everything this country stands for and should never be tolerated to exist.

These threads are comprised mostly of people bitching about the threads.

Just don't click on them and they will fade away to the 2nd and 3rd page.

Truly. Why not have all of us who don't buy this view of diversity hauled off and shot?

We're not just bitching about the amount of threads, we're commenting on the level of self importance a person has to have to start a new thread for their unoriginal thoughts.
