I don't disagree with you, but the difference is that a douchebag/asshole veteran is someone who can't really affect your life very much, if at all. An asshole cop can ruin your life or even take it and face little if any punishment for doing so.
Wow. Revisiting this thread and I was reminded that oldfellator1822 just dropped off the face of the board. Just like Zombie.
Weird that if anyone said that about those guys before they became veterans and were still active duty it would be seen as totally anti-American.
This is because america is full of racist nazis. It is sort of like your thing and soul reason for posting here.
Pointing out racism or Nazi-esque acts or the resurgence in actual self-identified neoNazis isn't "playing" a "card," doofus. It's just pointing out basic facts.
That's weird, because there are plenty of people I've met, including posters on WF, who absolutely aren't on the left but don't seem at all racist or Nazi. I'm sorry you feel that anyone who isn't woke lord lefty is a racist and a Nazi and hope that getting to know them better will show you that they're not.
I'm sorry you think this is dumb @Federal Farmer , but it's true you can't easily label everyone with the same brush.
Disclaimer: I’m already drunk. But, I don’t identify with any of thos terms, but I definitely think I am aware of societal definitions of ‘racist’, ‘nazi’, and ‘woke’, and of the three, I definitely think ‘woke’ is a much more positive label than the othe two. and I’m a bit confused as to what the opposite (positive) would be. @Federal Farmer, what ‘label’ would you put upon yourself- mind you, it doesn’t have to be any established label. Just something that isn’t ‘woke’.
seriously... one two three and, just for you, a youtube video the inevitable outcome of "ronpaulrepublicans" (i.e.: self proclaimed "libertarians") is for all intent and purpose, fascism.
You technically did. But you also confirmed that, once again, you let other people do your thinking for you. And then you wonder why we say you lack critical thinking abilities....
Ron Paul Republican is pretty close because I’ve abandoned the libertarian label, though I do embrace most of that philosophy. You want my own thoughts? I’m a musician, a brother, a friend, an Eagle Scout, an Uncle, a Dead Head, a southerner, a son. Those are the labels I’m comfortable with because politically, I don’t fit neatly into one category or another.
We're getting somewhere, but with one exception all those could be seen as defining yourself by what you meant to others. They could be more than that, but that requires you critically thinking about what each of those things IS. All of us are sons or daughters. Why is that special?
Good! That's the option I meant too. A musician isn't just defined as "one who makes music" but by what that music evokes in the listener. Play us something.
Would someone explain the arrested development reference of the OP? Great thread. It serves to show what a shitheal OF is. I was beginning to miss him.
