“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I’m a moron. Fool me three or more times consecutively, and I’m a voter.” ~ Jarod Kintz My gracious sakes alive; it is amazing that it is only eighteen months away from yet another mentally deranged presidential ‘election,’ and the insanity circus is...

Everybody... drop what you're doing and call all your friends and family. Tell them to get over here - quick. Dan is explaining what we all lay awake at night thinking about - wondering why he doesn't vote.

This is one of the stupidest stances I have ever seen an intelligent man take.

Yes, I am that important!

Is it a case of “stupid is as stupid does?”

I’m not wondering why you don’t vote. I’m wondering how you expect leaders to be chosen without voting.

I wonder why people think they need leaders. But clearly they think they do. Tell me: do you think the people chose Joe Biden to be their leader?

A majority of the popular vote did, yes…

And until we have a constitutional convention of the truly highest order of comedic folly to concoct any other method of establishing term-limited leaders…

vote…

or don’t.


Nobody cares about you that much, Dan. I’m betting your family thinks it’s ridiculous how much you boast about your supposed anarchism…or do you just keep that philosophy to yourself and us lol

Why do corporations need leaders? Really Dan, asking why people think our country needs leaders is silly. No I do not think the people chose Biden to be the leader of the country. He was chosen by people that could control him and make him do what they wanted. The only question I have is who are those people and what are their goals.

It’s clear to me who those people are, they’re people who think they should be the leaders and everyone else’s purpose for existence is to obey the leaders, a straight line directly from Hegel’s philosophy. A democratic vote allows them to claim legitimacy of their leadership. “Hey!” they say, “you asked for this! You voted for this!”

Ask yourself this: which people enjoyed more individual freedom, less governmental interference in their daily lives, the people who lived under the presidency of George Washington, or those of us under Joe Biden? The answer should be clear to you. So what happened between then and now? Is this the expected outcome in a democracy, a slow painful loss of liberty?

Slavery existed during the presidency of George Washington. Were women allowed to vote? How were so-called witches treated?


C’mon Dan…you bore me with these elementary challenges.

[Ponca Dan]

So you are arguing there is less governmental interference in the daily lives and pursuits of individuals today than then?

Breaking it down to its simplest form, not all people are good and decent. Wrongdoers need to be punished and neutralized. We need a government to do this, and someone needs to lead that government. Those leaders should be chosen by those who are governed.

That’s good. You repeat the mantra verbatim just like you were taught in civics class at government schools.

No, he’s arguing that your yardstick isn’t the proper measure of true freedom.

 

[Ponca Dan]

No, he’s arguing that your yardstick isn’t the proper measure of true freedom.

I don’t think that’s his argument at all. I think he thinks more government intervention in the lives of individuals equals more freedom.

 

[LAY THE WOODY]

TRUMP 2024!

 

[soonerinlOUisiana]

Not a mantra. Just an understanding of the intersection of morals, ethics, and history.

 

[CowboyJD]

I don’t think that’s his argument at all. I think he thinks more government intervention in the lives of individuals equals more freedom.

I think you’re dead wrong in what you think his argument is.

But I’m not gonna engage with your simple-minded idealist binary absolutist utopian anarchy-capitalist theories or your PA AF games.

Government intervention in the lives of individuals did lead to more freedom for slaves held before the Civil War. “Net freedom“ absolutely was increased by government intervention on that occasion.

And you will look really silly when you argue that isn’t true or is irrelevant to the discussion.

Very well. You made your point.

 

[CowboyJD]

No snappy PA response?

This is a good look for you Dan.

should try it more often.

That’s good advice, JD. I’ll take it under consideration.

Atta boy.

Thanks, JD. You have always given the best insight and advice of anyone on this board. What would we do without you?

Your insincerity is shining through pouty.

You're welcome, btw.

You need to learn how to accept a compliment with grace.

Well you're the one who interrupted her bubblebath.

When an actual, sincere one is…I can.

But yours…..wasn’t.

Just more PA AF BS.

I must say, JD and Dan are have one of the calmest, low key pissing matches I’ve ever seen. If other pissing matches on this board are punk/death metal, theirs is yacht rock.

Punk/death metal is boring, repetitive, and juvenile.

We don't feel the need to overcompensate with fake aggressiveness and silly name calling to try to convince the rest of you mopes that we are testosterone laden tough guys. We know we are, and that's good enough for us.

Yacht rock is infinitely more interesting and enjoyable than punk/death metal anyways.

For the record JD is speaking for himself. At my age I'm happy to have any testosterone left.
