America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

God willing...

true, true.

or it could have to do with something new happening today as opposed to something already in place. It would be sort of weird to report every day on the status quo but more common to report on something changing.


this boogie man agenda thing is over played

isn't Fox News part of the main stream....and talk radio, which is almost all from the con POV....they get the highest ratings/most viewers/listeners......and stuff...

I heard Jade refuses to pull out....

Huh.
I never really noticed.

unlikely as it may seem, Joe (tail) and I are actually good friends, been together a few times, dinner with the wives...
they showed up for us at the worst time of our lives. It's the type of character I hope to find in other people. I want to like everyone.

hope to get together later in July when I will be just a few miles from his home.

Neither of us really decides the worth of another based on political opinions...and we do get a kick out of getting one over on the other guy.

Not saying you are incorrect, generally debates on certain subjects can be monumental wastes of time, and even destroy relationships, but I don't think I'd ever push that far on a discount cigar forum.

Then you booth should be caged just for the rarity value. People don't seem to think like this at all these days.

Don't forget the media!

That makes this place the exception then, not the rule. At least as far as this political cycle goes in my experience..... I've sat back and watched friends and family go Nuclear this time around. I thought it was bad under Bush and worse under Obama but now, people seem to want to drink each others blood. I think it's going to get a lot worse.

I like it here.
people have been nice to me personally
can't speak for anywhere else, never participated elsewhere...'cept a couple of posts on (noncompetitor) geeks, but they don't drink much over there.

I don’t know, I think it may be more common than you think, but the Cyrene in both sides seem to control most public political discourse. As a leftie living in Alabama, the vast majority of my friends and I disagree politically, but we still discuss stuff civilly and without hard feelings. To be fair, my circle of friends tends to be hyper educated and work in positions where critical thinking is a requisite skill. On this forum, I’ve spoken with and consider friends several people who have very different views and think highly of them. Even Jamie

I won’t go as far as Frank. There are certainly people on here and in my personal life that I have written off as intellectually unworthy because they demonstrate that the “team” they root for takes precedence over critical thought or that they are incapable of reason. Which is why I frequently read the politics forum but rarely comment.

I hope I said I "want" to like everybody. It's not possible.

want.
I really don't need any more friends, but I love people and hate hate
Liking them doesn't have to result in a friendship/relationship. But maybe I root for them?

you of all people...!

I understand. The liberal bias is undeniable.
Criminals are victims and the police are the enemy.
All conservative white men are racists.
All who value national security are racists.

And the agenda continues.
Riling up the ignorant.

Half of society are idiots.
People make their choices based on identity politics.
There’s no accountability in government.
The enemy is allowed to immigrate and infiltrate our society.

I rarely discuss politics.
Dwelling on it will drive you insane.
But I think about it, so might as well share

Regarding abortion.

You have your way of thinking. They have theirs.
Your beliefs do not take precedence over theirs.
Nor do theirs over yours.
You can’t make a decision like that for somebody else.

Hardliners line of thought -
Abortion is murder.
In any and all cases.
Regardless of the circumstances.

But have no qualms with traveling overseas to kill the enemy. (nor do I)

Abortionists are immoral. And to get one would be immoral.
And the immoral are in a way the enemy.
You have to somehow perform the mental gymnastics to come
to the conclusion that the enemy is killing their own offspring.
And no action was taken on your part, nor does it have to be on your conscience.
And then let it go...

All the doo-dah-day

That's generous.

I'm a cup's half full kinda guy.
Even when there's only a few sips left.

No, your generalities often don’t reflect what was really said or thought.

I honestly am beginning to think it’s not intentional and you really don’t see it. That will definitely change how I think about it.

Cool.

Soylent Green is peoples....

human composting is a real thing...your body can become two wheelbarrows-full of topsoil for about $5K

I can do it for $500 and a barrel and some lye

actions speak louder than words...

that and I'd be bored and never learning if I watched liberal networks and visited liberal forums
