If you say so. Legolas Send a noteboard - 25/09/2017 05:31:00 PM

View original postHe's forcing people to take positions and boxing them into corners to then extract concessions. Whether or not it works will be seen, but it's far different than doing nothing.

I'll believe it when I see it. I used to believe there had to be a quite different man behind the public persona who wasn't nearly as short-sighted and egocentric as he seemed, but can't say I believe that anymore - ok, no doubt some of the show is intentionally over the top, but as far as I can tell he really is basically like that.

You said something similar a while back. And really, I just don't get it. Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:52:31 PM 679 Views
Oh, and just to add... Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:55:35 PM 582 Views

Alright, let's see. Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:46:43 PM 625 Views
And yet....and yet....and yet.... Jeordam - 21/09/2017 09:13:30 PM 573 Views

In the immortal words of Dennis Leary "We got the bombs" Who cares if Iran is the adult in the room? Cannoli - 22/09/2017 11:22:43 PM 602 Views
He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 544 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 302 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 605 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 549 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 560 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 632 Views

It's an interesting idea. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 02:19:19 AM 541 Views
Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 288 Views
See, I wouldn't call Singapore democratic. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 05:03:14 AM 490 Views
Did you see their hilarious presidential 'election' recently? *NM* Legolas - 27/09/2017 07:55:15 AM 335 Views
*shrug* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 01:05:47 PM 516 Views
I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 456 Views
the non military is the further stretch random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM 545 Views

Hmm. Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:52:46 PM 544 Views
Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 504 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 594 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 563 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 599 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? Tom - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 516 Views
I don't get it. I mean I get it but I don't get it. AgentApple - 26/09/2017 08:34:25 PM 536 Views
As if there wasn't enough getting and not getting in this thread already. Pick one! Legolas - 27/09/2017 12:13:13 AM 610 Views
I made the mistake of bothering to try reading a New York Times article Tom - 29/09/2017 12:38:07 AM 695 Views
It was a brilliant speech all around, and you don't understand Trump based on those comments. Tom - 21/09/2017 08:32:29 PM 552 Views
He's doing jack shit. He tells people everything they want to hear, then blames Congress... Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:57:36 PM 602 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 545 Views

Oh, that people voted for him over Clinton, I can understand well enough. Legolas - 21/09/2017 09:02:50 PM 489 Views
Of course I'm going to defend him.. Jeordam - 21/09/2017 09:19:32 PM 521 Views
PC is about much more than not saying things to offend people random thoughts - 22/09/2017 01:26:16 PM 579 Views
It is? Like what? Legolas - 25/09/2017 06:37:01 PM 522 Views
By the by Jeordam - 25/09/2017 07:23:39 PM 507 Views

Trump lost credibility to me on the 'anti-PC' / 'pro free speech' issue aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 07:54:06 PM 486 Views
Yes, the "snowflake" accusation is rather hard to take seriously from people upset about the flag. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2017 08:24:29 PM 246 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 463 Views

I saw a statistic somewhere in an article about the controversy... Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:47:04 PM 486 Views
80% of the players may be black but a similar percentage of the fans are white random thoughts - 28/09/2017 12:59:57 PM 495 Views
Makes sense. But if 80 percent of your players is taking the other position... Legolas - 28/09/2017 06:43:23 PM 789 Views
