Yep
SpikeTalon replies on Feb 18, 2020:
I probably would too.
Feels good to be back.

@bigpawbullets Bummer. Well, glad he is happy.

@Admin The block feature should NOT work here in the Senate.
maturin1919 comments on Jan 10, 2019:
I'm reading the comments here and @SpikeTalon just posted in the Senate. There are over 400 of us who can't read that one, right, @CaroleKay?
SpikeTalon replies on Feb 18, 2020:
@maturin1919 Want to hear a good story Kyle? Once upon a time there was a guy who went by the name Admin, and one day he decided to create a website for agnostics and other secular individuals, and he called this site Agnostic.com. Maybe about a year or so after creating the agnostic site he created a mirror site called Humanist.com. The membership on both sites grew and life was good. As time went on member drama began to rear its ugly head, and this drama carried over into a group Admin had started called the Community Senate. In the midst of the drama many members decided to leave, as personal attacks started to occur. Seeing this, Admin decided that another site needed to be in the works, a site that would be dedicated to free speech and that supported civil debates and discussions. Admin went through with that plan, and in March of 2019 the third site was officially launched, the name of said site shall remain anonymous being that Admin didn't really want that site broadcasted openly on here for specific reasons. Anyways, I eventually made my way over to the new site and decided to stay there and take a long break from this one. Coincidentally, CaroleKay also eventually made her way to the new site as well, and came across my profile. Much to her chagrin she quickly realized that her kind (the progressive Democrat crowd) was largely outnumbered by Independents/conservatives/classic liberals/and Libertarians. Poor Carole must have been very distraught, because just as soon as she arrived she quickly left and deleted her account, she just couldn't stand being in the minority. Did you like my story Kyle? It was based on actual events. The point I am trying to convey here is that most of the individuals who go around pointing the finger at others accusing them of dwelling in their safe spaces or bubbles, in reality do the same damn thing themselves, but the funny part is they don't realize such. Doing what she did to me above in this thread was the very reason why so many members had left the Senate group and even the site altogether, due to needless drama and finger pointing. Of course, in the end I don't really give a damn what Carole thinks about me, as I got the last laugh seeing her depart so quickly from the other site. As my late father used to say, what goes around comes around eventually. Those who do what Carole did shall be duly ignored by me. I unblocked you Kyle because I think you do debate politics in a civil manner, hope I am not wrong about that...

SpikeTalon replies on Feb 28, 2019:
Thank you my friend, I appreciate it. I just don't see the point in arguing with these people (the far leftists) anymore. They would accuse us of being unreasonable, yet they sure do enjoy dwelling in their own echo chamber. Time to focus my energy elsewhere.
Meme is spot on.
DarrelScott comments on Feb 28, 2019:
Sadly the left only knows how to lie and slander, they have no facts. It is getting close to the time I am going to pull the plug on this site as I have done with most of the atheist sites on Facebook.
SpikeTalon replies on Feb 28, 2019:
I don't blame you Darrel. Can't talk sense into those who will not listen, and too many folks on this site are so far left (and gone mentally speaking) it's not worth the time arguing with them. Time to take to a site where others will listen, and perhaps we'll be in the majority unlike on here.

SpikeTalon replies on Feb 25, 2019:
@hippydog Truth be told, while my political views do lean to the right, I'm not without some liberal views as well, which is why I identify as Libertarian (fiscally conservative, socially liberal). During my time on this site I've learned quite a bit from those who identify as liberal, and while I may not always agree with them I do understand where they're coming from. Ken Riley has the right idea, he's trying to bring both sides of the political debate together for civil discussion. A bit of diplomacy can go a long way, and thank you for the compliment. Take care.

SpikeTalon replies on Feb 13, 2019:
In this case, I define valuable based on how much I had spent on the cards over the years and the monetary value of some of them now, and I have roughly sixty or so that are worth $20.00-80.00 for each card. Not bad considering I had only spent under $30.00. Sorry to hear about that house fire, but sounds like you made a good choice to sell your Star Wars collection when you did. Most likely what I'll eventually do myself, sell the remaining Star Wars stuff I have.

Additionally, what I mentioned above should apply to all areas of life, we should always be asking questions in which to get down to the truth.

SpikeTalon replies on Feb 9, 2019:
That's not my point. The point is, we should never take at face value what someone says until there is enough evidence to support any claims. The mere fact that I have to bring this topic up to fellow atheists is... very concerning. Like I said, these days far too many people fall back on emotions first and think later on if at all. Over the years I've heard too many examples of people who had their lives ruined over false accusations, and I personally couldn't begin to imagine how horrible that must be to the individual on the receiving end of the accusation...

Republicans the party of corporate welfare queens. Democrats can make sweeping statements also.The country never had this problem during the 50's 60's 70's when Unions were strong. A family could have one bread winner per household, afford good education, a yearly vacation, their own home, good ...
SpikeTalon replies on Feb 8, 2019:
I understand your point, but I do have to say that the Republicans at least are not tax crazy like the Democrats are. The Governor of my state and the Mayor of Philadelphia are two such examples of Democrats who favor more taxes on the citizens.
The Democrat Party trojan horse.

I have lived in Pennsylvania off and on I had spent a convertible amount of time in the eastern part. When I see this state turn blue in an election it breaks my heart because so many there love to hunt and collect firearms.
SpikeTalon replies on Feb 7, 2019:
That much is true, as I'm one of them who does support hunters and owns firearms.
I'm inclined to agree with Mr Marcus- [americanlookout.com]
Trajan61 comments on Feb 7, 2019:
Yes I agree with him also. If we don’t do something about the leftist leaning teachers and professors who are teaching our children a bunch of leftist leaning crap we may have to repeat mistakes that have been made in the past. Maybe we should teach a little more history so we can avoid them.
SpikeTalon replies on Feb 7, 2019:
As the saying goes... those who do not learn from history shall be doomed to repeat it. I second your idea on teaching more history to our youths.

SpikeTalon replies on Feb 6, 2019:
@kenriley Thought I would reply on this post about this. Regarding that I was blocked group, if I'm not mistaken that group is hosted by PalacinkyPDX, and I have that individual blocked due to what her profile mentioned. She had nothing good to say about gun owners or libertarians, so I just blocked and banned her from my groups so she would not have to see any of the posts from said groups, but somehow she must have found a way around the blocking as I see her name often show up on my posts, and the timing is rather creepy. Doesn't matter what time of day I post, most of the time she is often one of the first people to show up on my posts under the recently viewed list, almost as if she is tracking my every move and waiting until I post. I consider it stalking, I blocked her for a reason, wish she would just ignore me if she could somehow still see my posts. I have no shortage of screenshots showing her as the first one who showed up on my posts. It appears Palacinky cannot stand it when someone chooses to block her, and actually started a group about the topic, very odd...

SpikeTalon replies on Feb 6, 2019:
You're most likely right on that, and for the most part I do not believe that poll. My point there was to get any of the left-leaning folks on here who may have come across this post to think a bit deeper about their beloved media sources. I can make a case the above poll results were misleading, and thus the mainstream medias are not to be trusted and especially when it comes to polls. @Trajan61 @kenriley

Good ol' @SpikeTalon.
SpikeTalon replies on Feb 6, 2019:
@maturin1919 I hear ya Kyle. I'm amazed (and mildly amused) at how many folks on this site took such personal offense over me blocking them. Quite a few on here have me blocked, and last time I checked I was banned from seventeen groups, doesn't bother me one bit and nor do I automatically think those who chose to block/ban me are snowflakes. I more or less use the blocking as a filter, the public threads filter doesn't always work for some reason, so if someone does multiple posts in a row on topics I have no interest in then I usually block so as to not waste my monthly speed data. Hosting three groups on here consumes enough of my data as it is. I don't bother getting offended at what people say, not worth the time. I did tag you and Pralina in another post, not sure if you saw that one or not, but at least you saw my reply on this post. Haha, I never saw my name mentioned so many times on a single post. Eh, who knows, I might decide to unblock some of those who had griped about me blocking them. Time will tell...
