Fuck off you cock gobbling freak.

Another brilliant Trump troll who always has the most comprehensive defense of Cadet Bone Spurs. Where did you learn to spell such complicated words? Harvard? Yale? Maybe Oxford?

Hello TOP,



She suffers from Asperger's and Autism, but she is very intelligent and wise beyond her years. Following her inner calling has allowed her to deal with her issues in a very effective way. She calls it her 'superpower.'

I think she's right.

If you think people (in this case a demented kid) have "superpowers," you're as nuts as that kid is.

Hello moose,

This is why you cannot reason with a prog.

Driven by stereotypes now?

Their world is completely upside down from reality.

Total BS Making it up as you go...

Like Alice walking thru the looking glass.

A FICTIONAL STORY!!!

They believe, e.g.:
It is good to raise a child to be depressed and delusional.

You made that up. No progressives have said that.

It is good to be skeptical about your gender and be gender confused.

Inaccurate.

Homelessness in cities is good because it's a sign of cultural diversity - it's not a problem.

And which side of the political spectrum does more for social services again?

Criminals are the true victims, victims are the criminals.

Total fantasy about the left made up by the right. Completely unsupported. Pure fiction.

Law enforcement officers enforcing the law are bad for society.

Another whopper from the stereotype factory on the right.

Just to name a few, but you get my point.

The point I am getting is not what you intend.

How do you reason with a sick mind ? You can't . Impossible.

I try every time I visit here.

Ya know what's really going on here in your post? This is how I see it: (nothing personal intended)

Whataboutism. You're arguments are so thin, with nothing to back them up, that you've found yourself in a losing position; so you've decided to trot out a few well-worn Conservative Myths to try to bolster emotional support and deflect away from how badly you're handling this discussion.

But don't listen to any of the sense I have tried to inject. Go ahead and dig yourself in deeper. As long as the discussion stays civil I will counter every one of your myths with facts as I see it.

It's easy doing my side of the discussion. You're the one who has to work at it. You've got to be really creative and come up with all kinds of fantastic explanations for things that don't exist, basically falsehoods piled on top of falsehoods, each one designed to support the previous one. Wow. Impressive imagination, coming up with all that stuff. Very impressive. I don't have to work nearly as hard. All I have to do is read through your posts and identify the point at which you diverge from reality and point it out.

For me it is a game of 'Can you point out the falsehood in this post?'

Yes, I can.

The trick is to do so with the greatest amount of respect possible. I know you are a good person who means very well. You're intelligent, you provide a crucial function to society, and your voice needs to be heard. You are part of America. I am glad you're here. You help make America great. We need good people like yourself to contribute to society, work hard, pay taxes, get informed, vote, express your views. You've created a family, and they sound like good people, too. Together, we all make up a great country. It's a country based on the concept of freedom and diversity. That means we need to examine all views, to make sure that our policy is based on the best reasoning. We don't always get it right, but we can learn from our mistakes. If your side wins for a while and creates policy that doesn't work, then the other side can seize upon that and flip it the other way. It's an ongoing process with gains and losses, but hopefully an overall gain over time.

I am glad you're here, and I'm glad you are voicing your views. I believe I see the big picture more clearly than you, so I am using my freedom to point out why. Sooner or later we will both be gone and others will carry on. It is my goal to leave them the best planet I can, with or without your help.

That's why I am supportive of Greta.

Hello CO,

1. I am not a conservative.
2. Science should not be liberal or conservative.
3. I did not say that her parents are exploiting her. I noted that adults use children in that manner because criticizing them makes one appear monstrous.
4. See #1. And while we are at it, see #2.
5. Neither of us is a climatologist. If you were, you wouldn't refer to the issue as if it is a scientific certainty.
6. You are one of several people in this forum who can barely write a single post without mentioning Trump.
7, We all breathe the same air, rich and poor alike. And the super-wealthy are still buying beach-front properties.
8. You sing the praises of child activists, yet you seem to have no faith in them. There are solutions, and I have named a couple of them. You mentioned one of them yourself.

Was this post directed at anyone in particular?

Hello Sirthinksalot,

Hi Politalker,

I think wanting a well educated and healthy populace is something we can agree on. Unfortunately, many "elites" want just the opposite. A moronic public who lack critical thinking skills. That type of populace is easy to manipulate and control. I have said many times that teacher unionization is a huge part of the problem. We keep throwing more money at education, yet the outcomes continue to decline.

Republican controlled States seem to be in a race to see which can pull the most money out of public education. I believe the statement that 'We keep throwing more money at education,' is false.

The decline in education has many factors, lack of proper funding of public education being only one of them. The pressures of having both parents working and impoverished parents utilizing whatever low quality child care they can find on their limited budgets is a factor. Hopelessness of parents who feel beaten by the system is another factor. Parents who don't know how to be good parents because their parents were not good role models is a factor.

The class war, which has produced so much misery in the bottom half of the nation is definitely a factor. Pulling funding from schools, precipitously at a time when they clearly need even more to deal with these other factors has not worked out well.

But that is matter of perspective. It works really well for the greedy who find that uneducated people are easier to exploit and con.

 

[Sirthinksalot]

And she already has the "minor child" shield.

Of course, that didn't work for the Covington child. His crime was smiling at an adult beating a drum in his face. And the Democrats attacked him viciously.

Her autism helps her to memorize her lines.

Yeah, but the Covington kid used an "assault smirk".

 

[PoliTalker]

Hello Sirthinksalot,

You also can't reason with people who come to their conclusions based on how it makes them feel, rather than thinking about issues objectively. The leftist stance on immigration is a great example. Someone comes here illegally with a child. Oh, it would be so cruel to make them follow the law. Liberals are a complete joke.

If you believe that last part then it is at a detriment to your own critical thinking.

What a line of pure bullshit.
"I will counter every one of your myths with facts as I see it." of course you will, progressives can't "see it" at all, they're blinded by ignorance.
The kid was brainwashed, simple as that. It has become apparent you are as well.

 

[StoneByStone]

I listened to this poor girl on NPR this. a.m.
Sad what the climate hoaxers have done in brainwashing these kids.
They should be taken away from their parents for child abuse.
And the U.N. gives her a podium and actually listens to this crap pretending to take her seriously for the advancement of Agenda 21.



Kids in S.F. think we have only 12 yrs. left before the End of Days Apocalypse.

So glad I raised well adjusted kids.

Triggered by a child.

Hello CO,



Was this post directed at anyone in particular?

Yes, it was directed at you. I didn't hit, "Reply With Quote" because the result would have been a huge post. I addressed your points.

Since you are here, did young Greta tell you anything you didn't already know?

Has she called out China and India, or just the west?

 

[PoliTalker]

Hello Cinnabar,

The right wingers are such mentally retarded sociopathic wastes of oxygen that they attacked kids who witnessed their classmates getting massacred because they lobbied for gun control.

I get so tired of the constant sniping from both sides about how mentally lacking the opposite side is. People have no idea how detrimental this is to getting anything done. All this does is turns people off to politics and being involved. Apathy is our number one problem in getting anything meaningful done. The result is most people are totally turned off to politics, don't want to have anything to do with it, refuse to watch or listen to the news, or get meaningfully informed, and only vote (if they even manage to do so) based on sound bytes paid for by the wealthiest and most corrupt money-suckers in the nation.

We would all do ourselves a great service to just drop all the apprehension and blaming of the opposing side, and show more respect for fellow Americans.

Together we make this country what it is.

We are squandering so much potential it would make a billion heads spin faster than all the spin created by 'them,' whomever the 'they' are in your own political belief system.

How odd for anyone to applaud and encourage a child who most likely has lived a life of being mocked and shamed to literally use mocking and shaming as her platform to "change the world"....

I call it like I see it. I have immense disdain for knuckle-draggers who have enabled the poisoning of our environment and support the corruption that is making the USA a banana republic and has the world crying for us and laughing at us. I see your good manners and politeness and I commend you for it, but I am way past that with these enablers of the enemies of actual patriotic Americans. And I would even bet that some of these posters are not even American at all.

Speaking for myself, I agree. It is generally the Left, not the right, who uses labels and character assassination.

So why do I do it too? ....you are asking yourself.

Simple. I bring a knife to a knife fight and I bring a book to the library. When I enter a forum like this and I see the most inane childish bullshit, I know it is a waste of my time to reason with certain people, so instead I just blast them.

Yes, I know it serves no good purpose, but it makes me feel good, and thats good enough sometimes.

 

[PoliTalker]

Hello CO,

Yes, it was directed at you. I didn't hit, "Reply With Quote" because the result would have been a huge post. I addressed your points.

OK, I think I know what may have happened.

I made a reply to moose in which I addressed a number of points but I made an inadvertent mistake. I had recently addressed some points of your own and my register still had your quote tag. So when I used paste it put your name instead of moose. I noticed it after posting. I did go back and make the correction so that it properly reflected moose, whom I was responding to. But In the duration you must have read the uncorrected post and replied to that. My bad. I'm sorry. I try to proof them all but I mess up sometimes and get ahead of myself. I think if you go back to the post you were responding to, you will find that it now does not appear to quote you.

Since you are here, did young Greta tell you anything you didn't already know?

No, but she said it in a new way that has gotten far more attention, which is exactly what was needed. Just being who she is is a big part of that.

Has she called out China and India, or just the west?

I don't recall but thanks for pointing it out. This does need to be a worldwide effort.

I am hopeful that because the entire world has to face up to and deal with this common threat that it will usher in a new level of respect and cooperation among nations. Much the way WWII was a tremendously uniting force in America.

You see PoliTalker? This person is a complete idiot who needs to be smashed.

She refers to people who adhere to traditional values, limited government, traditional marriage, and patriotism as knuckledraggers.

And yet she votes for the Party of socialism, infanticide, homosexuality and all manner of sexual perverts, free tax dollars for illegal aliens... ...need I go on? Cinnabar lives in the Looking Glass where good is bad and bad is good, truth is a lie and lies are the truth. You cannot reason with such reprobates
