I'm a card carrying libertarian but the L.P. shot their wad last election with Johnson behaving like an immature college freshman.
Now I'm just libertarian minded.

This guy appears to be a nutty conspiracy theorist trying to drum up clicks to his youtube videos. Just more bullshit.

Welcome to the site, Practical. The #1 thing to remember while on this site is to have FUN. That really IS the most important thing to TRY to attain on here.;)
 
And look who showed up to bump it. :laugh:

You betcha! My computer at home, which I'm typing on right this moment, has FINALLY been fixed. I've decided from this point on I will NOT let anyone on this site anger or annoy me, because they CAN'T. I'm in a VERY good place right now. My body has finally seemed to have adjusted to diabetes, which I've had over 5 months now. I'm TRYING to eat better and refrain from drinking alcohol. I slipped up a bit yesterday, I had a few beers. It was exactly a year ago that my dad passed away, and I decided to honor his memory by tipping back a few. I believe he would've approved.

Sorry about losing your dad, sad anniversary.

Well, he was fine in 2012. Just had some obvious decline In 2016. Jo is probably not going to come off as a brain-addled pothead.

WOW...I never heard the five months thing till now...I got put on Metformin and a statin at the same time...I also had problems for months.

Taking extra care to stay hydrated was important.

Be doubly careful when on VIAGRA!
 
I grew up in Iowa, up near Mason City area......wife is from Cedar Falls.......went to college up in Sioux County......Mott Hoople went to college in Davenport.......what area do you hail from........hows the corn look this year......

been diabetic for about twenty years.......I've never experienced anything that might be confused with symptoms of Covid......I've got a CGM monitor and yes, beer is the worst.......the carbs make my blood sugar rocket......I've switched to an occasional hard cider which has a much lower impact........

Hello and welcome Practical,

I'd like to acquaint you with my Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

If that is agreeable then I hope we have many stirring discussions. If not, then we won't be talking much.

I am liberal. I have no problem mixing it up with you and explaining why your ideas are flawed. Please feel free to attack my ideas, no problem, but if it gets into ad hominems I'll pull the plug. Fair enough?

Jesus Christ, don't you have a Perry Mason marathon to watch instead of telling every random stranger your lifes story?

I am trying to get more clicks for my videos certainly and I am on several forums, but I will say that this is hands down the angriest I have been on yet...lol. This is rabid. If it works for you folks, fantastic, even angry discourse is better then no discourse and I will abide by the rules of said forum. I will never attack an arguer, just the argument. If I disagree, I am not disagreeing with you as a person, just want you are saying. And conspiracy theorist is sort of a misnomer these days and pretty much applies to anything someone says that a person might disagree with. It's almost Newspeak in it's usage.

Feels warm and friendly here, very inviting, can't wait to see what I am called =)

Cheers folks!
