I deserve that. Thanks. That fits. My apologies here. Both you and mspart are doing a fine job as posters. Thx for that.

I deserve that.

Oh boy. You are one special kind of numskull. When you read 'your pages' you should think seriously about separating the comments made from one poster to the next. If you lump them all together... then you get the kind of nonsensical post you just made here. It's 'shouting at the sky' type stuff. Read my post just above about reading comprehension. It applies at least equally to you. I'm criticizing you, but I'm not condemning you. You're OK, you're fine. But there is clearly space to learn. You can be a much better poster.

Read my last post. You incorrectly chiming in on an incorrect post is exactly what I expect from you.

You try so hard to right, yet being wrong just keeps slapping you in the face. I never claimed that you said that activism will make you gay. Read it again to be sure. I specifically used the word "if", which is a conditional clause. In other words "if" you think that way - then <what follows> This is NOT the same as claiming that you actually think that way (None of us are mind readers.) I agree with your other point. Activism has brought in more gay characters. Maybe not a bad thing. You'd do well to take a time out when your emotions cloud your ability to use logic.

First - you replied to your own post (look above), which is kind of weird in the US. We get it, you have the Chinese opinion on gay Americans. Which is that it is unacceptable. Being gay is OK. You better hide in the basement if you think activism will make you gay. Or maybe in a closet. Or maybe, just maybe, activism will bring the discussion to a higher level where we realize being gay is OK.

It appears your time in China has significantly molded you. Meh. That is no surprise.

You know better than to post something that suggests wood is the answer. Is it that you think it's funny to be such a giant dope in an otherwise semi-serious conversation? I often find you funny - but not here. Just a giant dope.

Yeah, no shit. Are you always posting like a dumb ass? I was responding to a statement you made.

I posted that you were 100% correct. As you said, EV supporters deep throat whatever they are told. It's lunacy, sad, grifting. I'm agreeing with you. What am I missing? I don't see what you're sour about.

Great post, Lipdrag. Which would explain why Elon Musk was looking forward to his giant, and I mean GIANT $56 Billion pay package from Tesla (the biggest pay package in history)... even though Tesla stock is down some 30% this year. Given what is happening in the EV world, Musk's goose that lays golden eggs seems about to be cooked. It'll be interesting to see if that twat can take the money and run. In the meantime, no more tax money should go to overpriced EV's. We don't need to fill some billionaire jerk's pockets with our tax dollars.

You seemed to have figured it out just a bit before Husker. EV pushers like Elon Musk are modern day snake oil salesmen. The really interesting thing is that one of the biggest promises of EV's is that they are far less complicated, have far fewer parts, and are cheaper to produce. Not to mention cheaper to maintain. One of the biggest draws to EV's has always been that they should be cheaper than gas engine vehicles. Until a guy (Musk) who steps in and produces high end EV's and maintains them at an extremely high profit margin and quickly becomes one of the wealthiest men in the world. He is subsequently adored for his wealth by common people, who are seemingly unaware that his wealth has been made by taking more than his share of money from both rich and common people buying his overpriced EV's. Right now, basically no new vehicles are available for under $20k. EV's start around $30k. What we should be seeing relatively soon is ~$20k new EV's. Think VW-Bug economy vs Musk's greedy "give me all the money" economy. Less profit per unit, made up in quantity, and a vast number of significant global benefits. EV's are for rich people, but that will change.

That is a bit of a surprise post. Admitting that Elon Musk is a sad lunatic grifter pushing overpriced EV's is a big step for you. But you are 100% correct.

The problem here is you are oversimplifying it. Israel isn't simply sitting back casually trying to decide how many people to kill with bombs. As this progresses, they are also losing many brave lives in actual live fighting. And if they aren't able to crush the most dangerous adversaries, they risk losing many more lives in the process. Sorting it out is a dangerous and risky task. War can always turn in an instant. Hamas has long arms that reach Iran, Lebanon, Syria. Israel must remain vigilant and on the offense. The reality is that they are still at risk of losing this war. All while trying to recover hostages that would have been released long ago if there were any legitimate intention by Gaza/Hamas to forge any kind of real peace. Hamas' desire for peace is pure fiction. Israel is at war with an opponent who doesn't want to end the war - they want to prolong it. The more war there is, the more press. The more press, the easier it is to paint Israel as the bully. Much of the world is buying into the "Israel is the bully' charade. Which in turn creates a cycle of more press. Israel needs to put an end to this and, as of earlier today, it appears they are preparing to do exactly that.

It's not - it's fake.

Pro-Palestine supporters aren't necessarily stupid. Just very seriously misguided. They truly believe they are on the right side of what is happening - but haven't spent the time to dig deep enough to understand the complexity of what they're getting involved in. They suffer from oversimplifying something that isn't simple. No different the the pro-free college people, or anti-vax people, or defund the Police people, or the pro-Trump-even-as-a-felon people. Some simply take the easy route to follow rather than to think critically themselves. They don't need to understand it or have valid reasoning either way. If the majority of what they are hearing is one thing, that's the one they lazily pick. What is going on in Gaza is bad, but not nearly as bad as what is happening right now in the U.S. due to lazy thinking.

If by, "our IC", you mean the Russian government intelligence community - then you are correct. At least that long and even worse now than ever. And - no accusations here - but it wouldn't surprise me if that group is actually "your IC" as you said. Russia has always been a giant propaganda machine... no surprise that now they've invested themselves heavily in worldwide social media. Foreign propaganda is the kind of thing that is really starting to sink in across the country.

None are worse than those that take, torture, and hold the innocent hostage. Hiding behind the label "civilian" won't help them. Nor should it.

Pffff... unless the orange turd had reason to personally profit or get personal revenge from it. Then it would. Otherwise - no other president in history. All the others are better than that.

Are you referring to "downstairs drilling"?

The only relevant fact you've posted is that Hamas does use civilians as human shields. It is scary that you can refer to this as if it is an every day type of thing. It shouldn't be. It is so tremendously awful that sub-human animals subject people to this... it is unforgivable. The "Yes or no?" schtick you've been using is worse than pathetic. Unless you are a tiny child, you know that the world isn't nearly that simple.

Nobody has the “right” to purposely target and kill civilians anywhere. Terrorists killing innocent people is not, and will never be a justifiable action. Yet terrorists like Hamas target and kill innocent civilians as a matter of course. That behavior has no place, anywhere, in a civilized society. Just like any serial killer, terrorists need to be put down like the pathetic little cancer they are. They should not purposely put civilians in harms way as a means of defense. It's a terrible tragedy when they do. The responsibility is only theirs. You ask as if it’s a difficult question to answer. (At least we're past the myth that Palestinians don't support Hamas... of course they do.)

Easy there, slugger. You paint a picture of innocent Palestinians who aren't dissenters for fear of their lives. That's convenient. YET: How many Palestinians have been posting online (anonymously) calling for Hamas demise? None. How many of the protesters at US Universities (who aren't subject to the Hamas terror group) have been calling for Hamas demise? None. How many news services (who aren't subject to the Hamas terror group) have been reporting Palestinians calling for Hamas demise. None. Palestinians (and those that support them) have every opportunity to separate them from the terrorist Hamas that govern them without weapons and without any risk. Yet they don't. (You included.) The facts tell the story. You're full of shit. Disclaimer: I don't know you and you may be smarter than I give you credit for. But, if so, you certainly haven't shown it here.

Get over it. The orange turd has never been more than a rotten bastard criminal. Now he's a convicted felon for his exposed criminal efforts. He continues his deranged ways by projecting that onto others. Yet he's the only clear criminal. Just him. Crying and asking for money from his "supporters". Time to exit being a supporter. Time to leave that clown on the side of the road like the roadkill he is.

Clown posts idiotic article without comment. Now tries to refute if clown endorses or not. Oh I get it now. JimmyBT just makes no sense at all 24/7
