We don't always agree, but I have enjoyed having you around to discuss things with.
You don’t discuss... you talk down to people, or just sound annoyed with their perspective.
I do discuss. So you're a liar.
I suppose if you see yourself as small and me as above you then from your perspective I'm talking down. I can't do anything about your insecurities.
What you are hearing and what I'm am saying are likely different things. Although the perspective of ill-informed people such as yourself is certainly annoying, so my exasperation with your ignorance and stupidity might come through in my comments.
What I don't do is give people negative reputation while hiding behind anonymity like a cowardly bitch.
I'm brutally honest. Some weak people can't deal with that.This isn’t discussing. Just because Ben Staad doesn’t like socialism doesn’t mean he is a fascist. (Before you ask I was NOT the person that gave negative rep.)Yeah we wouldn't want anybody having health care, something to eat, a place to live, cloths on their backs.
Fascists are cool though. Just as long as they don't feed hungry children.
It is discussing. I didn't call him a fascist. I merely mentioned the opposite of socialism.This isn’t discussing. Just because Ben Staad doesn’t like socialism doesn’t mean he is a fascist.

For what it’s worth, Br!an - I’ve always found you polite and helpful.
That was a joke. I just looped back to your question. Feedback - get it?
I'm not sure there are any instructions. There is a thread about it.
Basically you can leave either positive or negative rep for members. The comment is anonymous unless you identify yourself. You have to give rep to 20 people before you can give it to the same person again.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Thanks Alan. I appreciate it. I do hope I am helpful and generally polite.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
No it’s not. And you are implying he is a fascist by making the comment because if he doesn’t support socialism that’s the only alternative. And you’ll say again I’m not directly calling him one. That’s not discourse.It is discussing. I didn't call him a fascist. I merely mentioned the opposite of socialism.This isn’t discussing.

Here’s what your doing:
“Hey this foods a little bland.”
“Better that then burn mouth on the way down and my ass on the way out.”
Instead you could say: “yeah, it could use a little something else, maybe some garlic or pepper.”
That’s a discussion. See the difference?

I simply used hyperbole to make a point.
I am aware of Tim's Libertarianism. I am aware that he is not a fascist. He is aware that I am aware. We've had enough political discussions to understand the other's viewpoint fairly well. While we disagree on some things, we also often agree with each other.
I see that you don't understand the definition of discourse or discussion.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
And what point was that? That the only alternative to socialism is fascism? That Simmons is a fascist? Part of a discussion is explaining your point.
And you are implying. And i am inferring. But what else am i to infer from your comment? I don’t know of your relationship with Tim.
All I see is someone saying they will support another individual, and you replying with a remark that I take as you calling him a fascist since he (Tim) doesn’t agree with socialism.
The point being that socialism is a positive ideology and there are worse systems.
I wasn't having a discussion with you, so what you infer or understand is irrelevant.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
First, you posted on a public forum. You’re having a discussion with the world.
Second, that is what you should have posted to begin with. Not a sarcastic comment that compared an extreme as an alternative to disliking socialism.
Are you now the arbiter of the forum's contents? I missed the memo.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Nope. Just pointing out how you say things can be taken and how that affects other people like Tim.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Daaaaaaa bears da bears da bears da bears!!!!!!
In can see how this shit irritates people. Particularly those more interested in collecting books than having political discussions.
And now for something completely different....public nudity....oh, sorry, dating myself with Monty Python verse...
Well, our local library held a fundraiser today and had 27 food trucks in the beach parking lot...It was 65 degrees and sunny....perfect...good food, weather and time alone with my wife....all good!
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
and now am at other job (on other laptop) waiting for the last report to come in (guy telling me now will be midnight, sigh).
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.

one more thing....a fellow collector told me a while back that the cigar box and spool used in the movie Green Mile was being auctioned off....I thought, ok, pretty cool but was told $16,000! THEN I see it two days ago on eBay for $22,000! now marked down to a paltry $20,000!

I remember seeing that. Although I remember it being much much less than $16,000. I want to say $8,000. Anyhow it’s gone up quite a bit!

Load up the Spaceship with the Rocket Fuel
I bid on it up to $8,000 at the initial Auction in Beverly Hills. Lot ended up closing at $16,000. Now on eBay. Watching it closely....I remember seeing that. Although I remember it being much much less than $16,000. I want to say $8,000. Anyhow it’s gone up quite a bit!
Bill (Merlin) has been mia for a month now. I miss the LOLs...
I was just thinking about him today myself.

I briefly considered a purchase of the Horns S/L, even though I didn’t care for the story. Instead, I put the same amount of money towards a 10 year anniversary gift for my wife. Just have to wait a couple weeks for her to open it. I think the money was better spent!!
