Good News

Because it's just an exercise in fantasy.

He expressed no sentiment that it should end quickly.

Ending it peacefully would have suited me fine, but Lee and the other scumbags chose to rebel against the pressure to change and those who opposed expanding slavery.

For many including Lee it was about states rights.
 
No, it is a practical exercise in reality for a man living in Lee's time in his situation. And in your case you might find it useful to engage in such an exercise outside of your contemporary mindset.


I do not live in Lee's time. I don't find it useful. There's less point in it then contemplating what I would do if I were a moisture farmer on a desert planet that found a droid with a secret message for a Jedi.

You and Tom have offered plenty of proof to establish that Lee was a horribly immoral man.

Or an amazingly honorable one if the political and ethical sentiments of some of our posters were to be taken seriously.

Again, that's not something I need to be informed of.

And would you consider it unfair if the droid and Jedi looked back at how you live your life as being backwards, ignorant, and uncivilized?

(note: yeah, I know. Stars Wars happened in another galaxy far away, long, long, ago. Would you prefer a Spock analogy?)

Oh yeah, General Grant was a damn saint. Idiot.

Wtf are you talking about? You are worried that I might hurt Robert E Lee's feelings? Lol, weird. In case the news has been slow in reaching you, he's dead.
 
I'm curious about you Truth Deflector. You joined this forum in March 2011 and then there was a gap of over two years before you started posting regularly. Based on your hideous persona and the quality of your tripe, I'm guessing you've joined and been banned from numerous other forums until you realized you could say almost anything here and not get the boot.

You are by far the nastiest, least-credible poster on JPP and there's been some heavy competition for the title. Some of the others occasionally drop the facade and crack a joke or show a more human side of themselves but you're absolutely robotic in your litany of insults. You don't debate, address specifics, or contribute anything of quality, ever. You appear to have the mental development of a three-year old who drops the "f" bomb and other words just to see the effect on the adults around him. Really, what's your payoff in acting like this? Inquiring minds want to know. You say you "don't give a shit about the vagina man drama, etc." yet you're one of the biggest contributors to it. That makes you a hypocrite in addition to being 100% vile.

For a long time I had you on ignore, then I decided to take you off so that I could highlight your ongoing smuttiness. And this post below is a perfect example of what I'm referring to. Now you can whine and mope all you want about it but fair's fair, right? You unspeakable load of filth.

"I already told you no; I don't even know who this "Tommy" is and people rarely PM me because I really don't give a shit about the vagina man drama that erupts in here.

But I must have hit a nerve of truth here for you to get your vagina man panties in such a bunch here.

You and Darla are such pathetic dunces. It doesn't occur to you twits that everything you post, even if it gets deleted, ends up in people's e-Mail.

Yes, you and Snarla really are THAT stupid and THAT pathetic. You're like a couple of spoiled brat children running around the playground screeching about someone stealing your candy after you gave it away.

Dunce."

I've had him on IA since the first week he began posting regularly, sometime last year. He's some sort of lunatic. I never even respond to him at all and didn't even have any idea he'd been following me around venting bile until a few people mentioned it. How odd. I love how he is whining about liberals mistreating him. LMAO Can he even be serious? He's an abusive lunatic. I guess he was hoping for flowers in return.
 
Oh yeah, General Grant was a damn saint. Idiot.

Speaking of Grant, he owned slaves and did not free them until the 13th Amendment was enacted. All of Lee's slaves were freed by 1862.

This is from a letter Robert E. Lee wrote to President Pierce. The same letter Hasa quoted, but saw fit to edit this bit out.

There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil.
 
I'm citing the letter because, as I must have said 50 times so far in this thread, the issue of slavery and culture of the antebellum American south, are much more complex than current discussions allow for.

This discussion being a prime example.
 
Again, something I need not be informed about.

Perhaps abstract thoughts are not something you are capable of.

You do not show any capacity to think in the abstract. Instead you are trying to rationalize the clearly immoral ideals of Lee and expect me to worry about what his corpse might think.
