unsung I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye. Posts: 9,487njnancy said:unsung said:Yawn. Point proven. Again. Usual suspects.
I didn't use names, unlike the obession with some here.
It would be nice if you would respond at such length and with such passion when I have tried to have a back and forth with you instead of ignoring my responses/questions. It seems that it is only fun to respond directly when you feel you have been wronged.
When people with different opinions are attempting to intelligently and politely debate, there is a need for both sides to engage. If someone asks you a question, attempts to answer your question or asks where you are getting a meme or talking point it is helpful if you give a response. Reasoned debate usually doesn't progress when that request is met with either silence or feigned outrage.
I'm not forcing anything upon you, I have as much right to post my opinion here as you do. Interesting that you have taken the most time I have seen in a long time to try and dress down the woman who expressed her frustration and true sadness over your lack of courtesy in discourse. But that seems to be the thing to do. Stir the pot and then be outraged, OUTRAGED when someone finally calls you on it.
I'd like to discuss the policies or points and not the person, so I'd appreciate it if some men on here could grow a thicker skin. It might make for a more interesting and less hostile debate.
The problem isn't with any person's ideology; it is with the way in which they go about expressing it that causes others to become frustrated. But perhaps it would be better if I just do not engage with people who have no interest in reasoned debate.
And I hold no ill will, even with someone such as yourself.
Outrage? The only outrage is on your side. I sleep soundly knowing your will will never change my life.
And yeah I was talking at YOU, that is what most internet forums code as "reply or quote".0 -

Unsung pops in and posts or says something that is outright racist or controversial. He then leaves, ignores questions or demands answers for questions that any person of any political persuasion would find offensive and not worthy of answering.
He used to post as a libertarian but it seems he has drank the Kool-Aid. If only for his inability to have an intelligent & respectful debate with anyone anymore.
It is tiresome and SAD! to watch someone devolve.
If you knew anything of Libertarian core principles you'd know that the following apply.
Do no harm but to prevent harm.
All associations should be voluntary.
Taxation is theft. In other words you don't have any right to my labor, and vice versa.
Now while I no longer claim to be a Libertarian, I do still believe in those three points.
Government is force. I don't believe in forcing my beliefs, even on someone such as yourself, and therefore I will not have you force yours on me.
The common tactic that the left uses is to discredit the source, quickly followed by name calling and attacking the person with the opinion, instead of arguing the point. Straight out of the Alinsky Communist playbook.
I'm not here to provide your research, not going to use your hijacked vocabulary either, and really don't care of what you think of my attendance. My attendance is voluntary. I have been attacked here repeatedly and never give it a second thought, even by the guy that still lives in Mommy's basement
You want an unsung AMA so that the stalking and screeching to my opinions can be isolated to one thread? Easy enough to go back and see me devolve, huh?
Maybe you just want your echo chamber. Get your safe space, huh?
-make fun of someone for living with their parents
-parrot the right's stupid talking points "echo chamber" and "safe space".
the hypocrisy is hilarious.

Fake news
Mixed breeding

Etc
And I do not use 'hijacked vocabulary', whatever that is. I have a plentiful vocabulary without anyone's assistance. Even someone such as yourself.
Screeching and stalking were aimed at me I believe. You know, the crazed woman searching out someone's posts so she can ram her Commie thoughts down their throat.

I am not outraged. I am not slightly piqued. But when someone tells me who they are, I believe them. If you wished to back your opinion and give some respect then maybe you'd get some back.

I'm seriously curious to know what you think such a world would look like. How would things like roads be built? What about law enforcement and other emergency services, the military, prisons, and all the other infrastructure and services now covered by tax revenue (aside from education and healthcare - I assume you think that should be completely left up to the free market ... scary, scary stuff)? Are you thinking every single service would be support by free market investment?? What if the economy collapses? Or what if the investments are just bad? Then what? And how would such complex bureaucracies maintain themselves in any kind of honest way while they're intertwined with the free market?And what about those things that are more easily waved off to the free market, like schools and hospitals... what options do you picture for the people who couldn't pay for such services with their income? What happens to them? Do they just never learn to read and then die in the streets? Are do the free market services act as charities too? What if those running the "businesses" choose not to provide such charity?Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful.

A number of infractions here.But hey, it's a rock and roll forum and rock and roll is about rebellion and breaking the rules right? Until you get caught. Until you get put on read-only.But look, I don't care. I find a lot of this amusing. Out here in the west, we have much larger concerns than people breaking rules on a fucking rock forum.We're not supposed to say "fuck" here.
