Don't you have a desire to refute the things said? I would at least make an attempt before I told on someone.
I just find it "odd" like how you find it "odd" that conservatives like Pearl Jam's music.
And I don't need to refute the things said. I've refuted the things said many times now and you all still ask the same questions expecting a completely different answer."Must I keep explaining my decisions to you strangers of the Internet?" - Merch tent 8/19/16

This is an interview with Brandon Stanton, creator of Humans of NY, who wrote the Letter to Donald Trump that went viral yesterday. Worth the watch.

Make sure to always agree with the liberals though.
Also any support of the other parties is taboo and will get you labelled as a racist con and will end all further discussion you wish to have.

I know right. An American following Canadian politics is so common, isn't it? Because we should all really care about the nothing that goes on there.dignin said:

Damn Canadian! The nerve!Pearl34Jam said:And now I'm getting 2 sarcastic attacks and getting questions from a Canadian about American politics
Canadians, go back to... um... umm... Canadia!
Come on man. You do know this is an international forum, right? And that the election of the president of the (perceived to be anyway) most powerful country on earth affects pretty much everyone and is a concern to pretty much everyone, right?

I think you are being a little melodramatic. There are lots of good conversations in AMT. I argue with liberals and conservatives alike. Trump is just a unique character. It's really hard for a moderate (like me) to think he isn't dog whistling racial tensions.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:

Look, I think people are just reacting to the fact that you seem to be refusing to have a discussion about much of anything other than the style of our replies. You are apparently a Trump supporter.... so why aren't you trying to defend or at least justify your support? The rest of us do when we're talking about the politicians we support. That's what these political threads are all about.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

I havent noticed that. Both of seem to more just be here to stir the pot.
Well if that is how you feel why do you keep coming back? I know i don't spend my time on forums packed with right wingers. I'm not saying you shouldn't be here.

A person with relatively few posts like pj34 might read your above as insulting and may say some things in defense that he shouldn't and will land him in the banished realm.PJ_Soul said:What's that supposed to mean?
So I said hold, don't respond.

Huh? I didn't say anything insulting there (besides the stir the pot thing - pretty mild comment), and I have no clue what you mean with the banished reclaim comment. I never even thought about banking or anything like that. I think you must be misinterpreting something.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:

Also, Braveheart said hold not to keep quiet. It was to hold back until the perfect moment to kill, so you'll understand that I was confused by the reference.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
