Oh, you're still at these same dull antics? Your fringe behavior is more than a little weird. I'm not PM'ing you - at all. Not at all. I don't need a Stalker. I'd prefer to not have one. So... off you go. (Is that clear enough?)

That's completely fair. I find that I'm usually the opposite. What makes me cringe is when someone decides to blast a large swath of the US population as being "idiots" or some other term for inferior. A day doesn't go by when we don't see either the R or D party being targeted as being morons/etc. by at least a few posts. We see the same type of thing towards LGBT groups, NRA members, people of color, pro-life supporters, woke supporters, etc. People post who actually believe their hate toward a group is justified. That being said - petty personal back-and-forth's aren't good either. I should do more to nip them in the bud sooner than later. They aren't fun for anyone and accomplish nothing.

Yawn... your antics are dull. But your continued hysteria over many of my posts is becoming unhealthy. These posts aren't directed at you, don't include you, and don't affect you. Yet, you insist on flipping out. I get it, you're probably angry about some past post exchanges we've had. But there comes a time where you need to let it go. For your sake as much as everybody else. Stalkers. They are a real thing. But not a real good thing.

With baby-backs and some St Louis style ribs, 3-2-1 can overcook. 2-2-.5 is an adjustment I read online, tried and had luck with. After 2 hours, the ribs will likely be saturated with smoke so you won't be missing out there.

I used to have similar conversations all the time with friends. Some like their steak rare, others medium, and others well done. So many of them were convinced they were 'right' - as if there's only one way to cook meat correctly. I don't believe I was ever able to change any of their minds... seems they each thought they are right, and so it goes. That's OK by me. It's more interesting than anything else. I don't think I'm the "king of all things" at all. That's a hurtful thing to say. I don't remember ever saying anything remotely similar about you. But, so it goes.

That's exactly right. NONE of his posts contain any gun restrictions whatsoever. His posts are all about prosecutors and judges putting criminals away who use guns when committing crimes. So - zero ounces of restriction, and many pounds of prosecution. I guess. Let everyone freely shoot it out 24x7, then put the bad-guy shooters in prison. I guess that's someone's idea of a solution.

Your first sentence is not true. Your second sentence, also not true. But, with your posts, you have proven that you are a person who seems to first lash out angrily rather than try to come to an understanding. I'm not being condescending when I say that I think that's something you might want to work on. I'm guilty of the same thing - as WKN pointed out, sometimes I react lazily with insults rather than with thoughtful argument. I try to be more like Brother Morris was, but sometimes it isn't in my nature so it can be a bit of a struggle. Ban seems to be always-chill. I don't think his heart rate or blood pressure changes a single iota when he's here. Oh well, as I always say - none of us are perfect, the best we can do is to try to do the best we can do.

Except for... nobody who knows how to bbq a pork butt has ever said that it came out "solid." Ever.

Exactly - OMULD. What? Zero class. It's terrible. Looks like an acronym created by 5th graders on too much sugar about 2 minutes before recess.

So - it would be interesting to know. How do Husker's personal attacks affect your focus? Below is just a sample - look back yourself, you'll see this has been an ongoing back 'n forth. (I understand if you'd prefer not to reply. There is a possibility you'll be banned.)

Since nobody else is playing the game, I'll just make one more post before I finish: Johnny Cash Elvis James Taylor Madonna Good thread, thanks Ban.

My mistake... that's on me. I didn't realize that you were "mini me numbnuts" - so, are you a rapper? It's a cool name for a rapper. I've heard of Lil Baby, Doja Cat, Lil Durk, Future, Lil Nas X... I like Mini Me Numbnuts better. Stick with it, it's a good name, IMO you'll go places.

Le duke beat me to it. The election lies need to be called out as the lies they are, and then put in the past - dragging those lies on is doing a disservice to the country and to every US citizen. Nobody promotes those lies except those that put themselves above the country - those are truly awful people.

Using fake-Dr Phil as a reference... that says more than I can possibly post here. OMULD... even a crappy cult in a shithole state can come up with better than that. That's just awful - so bad.

Just did a quick first page review... It certainly does check the box for "false or misleading statements". If you want to get into semantics about the definition of a lie vs false/misleading statements. Yeah, I'm not doing that. That's the kind of gray, murky, swampy junk thing politicians live by.

To be fair - the "bigger chair" comment I made wasn't a reference to physical stature.

Except that you are attacking half of the country - it is a pattern. It's what we have to suffer through when reading most of your posts. Yes, yes. We get it, you're a Fox News R vs D and you blindly jump on the R side. "I read some guy's tweet, so it's cool for me to try to insult half the country over it because he's a Fox News guy"... Think harder. Think about the responsibility of being in a position where you can influence people. Think bigger. You're in a bigger chair.

Hmmm... have to admit, this is actually quite a bit harder than I thought it would be (you were right.) Here's my updated Rushmore list: Johnny Cash Elvis (I'm not a big fan either, but some of my family are huge fans.) Aretha Franklin Jim Morrison I'm sure I'll want to change it tomorrow.

Why - just why? How can you possibly decide to post something so incredibly stupid while blaming it on half the population of the US? It's like you're thinking "Heh heh, I'll get that 50% of the country. Screw that half. I'll win with this." Except, you win nothing. You just look dumb. Really dumb. Makes no sense, unless maybe you have some kind of evil plan?

Trump just lied yet again today in Wisconsin. He's like a zebra that can't change his stripes - he just can't stop lying. It's in his nature. Go ahead and support Trump, a guy who lies just as easily as he breathes - if that's your choice. We all get to support whichever politicians we like. It is one of the things that makes our country great and doesn't need fixing. Just hope politicians that aim to change that don't get elected. IMO, we're better off without a dictator or a king - or anyone who aspires to be either.

On a lighter note than some recent threads, I like this one... Willie Nelson Elvis Hendrix Aretha Dylan is runner-up

Need to wake you up here. Your huge complaint seems to be that Joe Biden may have lied. I don't know. He may have lied about something. If, indeed, you are right - I'd rather he hadn't. Remember, that most of these clowns bitching about Biden around here are Trump supporters... Trump was the President that lied on an almost daily basis - and continues to lie every chance he gets, to this day. If "lies" are really the issue here, you'll want to adjust your lie-ometer and maybe reconsider your perspective.

Would seem there are quite a few more "beacons of hope" for migrants, and the US isn't the "last" one. It just isn't - and anyone who claims otherwise is mistaken. This fact is important because some US politicians are pushing a fictional storyline that doesn't align with facts (Yes, I know, none of us should be surprised by politicians trying to manipulate reality - that is what most do.) Given the evidence, I suspect you would agree with this. Sure, we can deflect into which is the biggest or most 'preferred' - yada yada - but then we'd just be bickering over nothing. If you want to 'win' the argument, then fine - I declare you the winner. Just be straight with me. That's all I ask and all I can offer you.

PBS is as solid a source as we get. I just read the article. Seems like a good article. I didn't read anything that was particularly "scary" or alarming in any particular way. What part of "said these things" are the one/ones you have a problem with? Here's a guy you should consider following, you may recognize him from his TV appearances, etc. Michael T. Osterholm, PhD, MPH | CIDRAP (umn.edu) If you have doubts about any particular internet poster, it may be a good idea to check them against Osterholm.

You are, indeed, somebody. Which is why I added that part to my post... That's the post you were responding to. You responded to the 1st half and ignored the 2nd half. I did my part to be inclusive. You were included. Geez, this 'woke' crowd that believes in 'X'... you guys can be rough. But I'm including you just the same.
