    The democrats at least sometimes try. As opposed to the republicans who look to make things worse.

    Oh, and never go full Dave Rubin. Dude is sucking Milo cock.

    Good riddance and Buffalo should probably look into replacing those idiots ASAP. You are trying to cover and defend cops acting badly. That is part of the problem is that when you have a cop acting badly the other ones cover for them and let them do horrible things. Every one of those cops who resigned from that force shows the sort of impaired judgment that the three cops that helped kill mr. Floyd showed when they let that happen and then tried to lie and cover it up by giving a false statement about the incident. Buffalo needs to just get rid of them all.

    That is exactly the problem. Most issues could be solved with a bit of understanding of human nature and the willingness to address issues in those terms.

    OK, I have heard a lot about you from people and you are totally not living up to the absurd asshole cunt people are saying you are.

    It is almost like people on WF have a fucked up system of judging others.

    Yep. I saw a video awhile back where an officer reprimanded another officer who was roughing up a protester These assholes not only did nothing, they got pissy when something was done about it.

    I’m not sure how to take this. It sounds like a ‘not-a-compliment,-but-not-an-insult’. But on this board, I can never tell.
    Either way, IRL, I don’t much care what people think of me. For me to be insulted, I’d first have to value the insulter’s opinion.

    I'm insulted constantly - at least Tererun brings the funny when she does, but only when she breaks out some new material.

    Pretty sure everyone on this board has been insulted by someone else on the board - except maybe @shootER.

    I've been insulted, but only by racists like @Dinner and Trump felchers like @Zombie so it doesn't really matter.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one @Zombie insults (:dayton:), but @Dinner is in the same category as @TheLonelySquire. Just trolls. Whether or not they are the same IRL, I can't imagine. But, if so, I definitely feel bad for their families.

    McCartney's more than a decade older than the woman holding the sign, more articulate, and with a global audience base, but he's saying essentially the same thing as the anonymous woman at a peaceful protest whose photo you posted.

    But he's a celebrity, so by you he's kewl, whereas she's just an uppity woman, amirite?

    Actually, in this case, she's correct. McCartney's message and the woman holding a sign saying "I can't believe I'm 66 years old and still protesting this shit' are exactly the same message.

    I really don't care what Paul or the woman are saying. Cool story Paul, but how many black fans did the Beatles have anyway? They would rather listen to the black artists you were ripping off back in your early days. Yeah, I said it!

    yes good point. Some people might care. So to clarify I DONT CARE about the "66 years" reference unless it comes up when I'm a contestant on Jeopardy.

    Because you miss the point. What the sign says - in words simple enough for even you to understand - is that precious little has changed in all that time.

    Maine is very rural for the northeast. There are a lot of areas that are still very red. If you were gay, black, or brown and wanted a better time I would recommend crossing into canada rather than maine. It is the same thing with places like niagra falls and buffalo. Cross over to Canada because you get some pretty good prejudice up there, and you are on the easier side of the lake effect snow crapola fest. In maine you really want to stick to the cities, college towns and coastal tourist traps because there is some mississippi level dumbfuck up there in the country.

    One of the bigger problems with migrating to the rural northeast is you end up needing neighbors during the winter and cold. Keeping communication up with the townies is a part of survival in the deep northeast. You can suffer through your air conditioning breaking down, but if you have trouble with heating and the town does not like you then you need to move. You simply will become a popsickle waiting for service if the weather gets really bad. Someone doing a shit job on your home heating or automobile could mean your life in the rural winter.

    Over-thinking, under-thinking, oldfella can miss the point in both directions!

    Take it as a compliment coming from me. You have a more blunt and carefree way of speaking. Not much mincing words to please the cool kids. That would probably explain your reputation.

    I caught you giving some fucks before. You hide them for when people start calling you a racist and then all of a sudden it is like a fuck blizzard.
