@nogod4me wow, are you ever going in the wrong direction. No wonder you don't get this, because that's not even close to what I'm saying. What I'm saying is simple - you don't have a concept of how much money these people have. Fox can and does tell people with money that the dems are going to tax them into oblivion, while Biden is saying that no, we won't tax you into oblivion, we're going to raise your taxes but we all know you can afford it without changing your lifestyle. This isn't a one way conversation, it's a competing dialogue that needs to be out there.

This is sad to have to post it, but it is also such good advice.

The only moral choice would be to get the shirt, and hand deliver it to a homless single mother who could use it to seek self redemption. Also, for sure, include a sack lunch for her kids, even if it costs you some money. Becayse thats a way to prove youre a good person

@WilliamCharles man, I thought I wad the king of not letting things die! So in order to get my crown back, I submit the following: Your quote was accurate *when written*. It no longer is - in fact the situation is worse - that's what I was trying to point out. We could, and do, agree on the point that several hundred tens of thousands (or whatever it is. Met my best bud for after work margaritas so he could complain about life and I could agree with him, so I'm going with a million + for halfdrunkin simplicitys sake) have needlessly died. So let's just put the fucking pedantirly accurate or needlessly poetic description of the numbers (I still maintain you needlessly contorted yourself to make the point relavent even though it already was relevant, although +100 points for style) aside. The actual numbers are, on the whole, irrelevant. So sue me for holding contradicting opinions on a subject.

@RavenCT Roommate? Suuuuure. I'm buying that. Excluded because one doesn't agree with the purpose of the group? That's juvinille and quite wrong. I do believe in the purpose of the group, it's just the fucked up over-self-importaint people who are trying to do it i dont agree with. The stuff i saw in there should embarrass you. That you're proud of that speakers volumes. Just because someone doesn't swear doesn't mean they aren't being nasty. You (and your group) did harass her, plain and simple. She's never used a pic of herself before and yet you or one of your sycophants did an image check for some reason when she changed her pic. There was no reason to question an established member, yet for some reason it happened. One of the watchers members IM'd me claiming that CB just must be either a scammer or a data miner, no question - even though this person had not a single clue how data mining works and if she were a scammer the flags admin uses would have id'd her as one through her activity. If shes messaging me spreading unfounded rumors about a member, how many other character assasinations are happening behind the scenes? At least I got her to admit that she doesn't like CB, so there was that moment of honesty. I can't help but think that's your entire motivation for harassing her - you just don't like her. THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLINATION FOR IT. Investigating established members for that reason is the last thing you want in the sites self appointed cop. Why you are still allowed to do this is a mystery to me, but then admins done lots of questionable things arohhnd here. This whole episode has me asking the question "what the fuck is wrong with these people?". The answer, unfortunatly, is quite a bit. So I'm done here. Go on about with your floundering justifications for unjustifiable actions, I'm not going to even bother reading them - it won't be worth it.

It's to bad you got kicked out of the Senate, you'd have seen the post from one of the admins about them not caring about the pics people use as thier profile pics, porn actor or not, and how that's not the criteria for them determining if the person is a scammer or not. You're enforcing your rules over the sites rules, which is fucked up, to say the least. ## Those are your opinions. Follow them if you like but you have no right to force others to do so. The discussion should be about you flagging people for not breaking the sites rules. It's harassment, plain and simple, and in my opinion is just as detrimental to the site as scammers. So puff your chest out all you want and preen about this "service" you think you're providing, but it's all in your head. You apperantly blocked me from the watchers group, thanks. I poked around in there when this all started and was shocked at the members bad behavior there.
