Holy cow. Didn't see that "answer" coming. Nice work scooter, nice work.

Did you figure out that you should stop posting like a numskull?

That's not how quotes work GM Fan. If you are going to quote me, you can't alter what I actually posted. It's then a lie.

Which does seem at least a little bit crooked. But, then again, boxing has always been at least a little bit crooked.

Cool - you seem to be SERIOUSLY savvy about guitar playing. Impressive. If you could, post a short audio clip. Maybe 5 seconds max. It'd be cool to attach sound to the story. I agree - polarizing posts are a downer. Let's lighten it up and hear some of your guitar!

Hmmm... "Deep fanaticism", "twisted interpretation", and a leader "being above even God." The current US administration seems to have all of these things... in spades. And it can be bought cheap. You are familiar with Trump's "gold card" program? Wealthy foreigners consider Trump’s Gold Card visa as immigration fast lane : NPR For a fistful of millions, anyone can simply buy citizenship to the US. Terrorists are notoriously well funded... why would they bother sneaking through a border when they could walk right in the front door with Trump's approval.

Quiet regime change hasn't ever worked for us any better than open regime change. Always backfiring. This may be something you call a "common attitude" but only for those common folks that haven't learned from history. (And, I do find your comment that "even when your economy is down your leadership spends exorbitantly" more than a little humorous. As we find ourselves in the midst of the US passing a bill that will put us another $4 trillion in debt. While increasing our military spending.)

From my perspective - politicians, their lies, and their intended manipulation of the people they are supposed to be helping seems to be universal. Given a position of power and authority, politicians tend to line their pockets first (if not only.)

Quite simply, because they've made deals. Just like in Iran, wealth and power go hand in hand here. The current Trump administration values those with wealth and cares little about those without wealth. Currently, controversially, pushing tax cuts for the very wealthy and tax increases for those with middle to lower income. It is a trend that should be reversed, but we are seeing no evidence of that. Why do we tolerate such unfairness in the US? Ignorance. Pure voter ignorance. I would not want to accuse Iran of the same thing - but I would be inclined to think a similar thing is true.

Too bad you have to read a post from an Iranian before you finally figured it out and came to this, surprisingly insightful, conclusion. It is important to listen to others. Even if people may not agree. And... even if those others aren't from a foreign country.

I was referencing a report by the Pentagon You were referencing what Iran said I'm going to have to trust the report from the Pentagon before I trust what Iran says. (You do understand that, right?)

You should really just avoid the "can't remember anything" gig you've got going on - it's giving out a bad vibe.

Good one, this is called "projecting"... do you what this means, scooter? This is where you attribute your own personal attributes to others. In this case, your failings. The problem with it is that what you are announcing to the world is really your failings. It's not a crime to not remember what you are saying from post to post, it's just it's incredibly rude to accuse others of your own failings without any rationale. Scout-tard Alzheimer's eating your brain level bad.

Let's check your logic skills. If "someone" says a certain 1st group is more normal than a certain 2nd group... Does that mean the 2nd group "aren't normal" BZZZZZ.. your answer is wrong. No, it does not mean that they aren't normal. Keep at it, logic may not come easy but it's a skill everyone should have. (Really, seriously, work on that. You'll need it in high school and - if you make it - in college.)

Word salad is the best you can do?

Show us a single post. You won't be able to. They don't exist. But keep on being sloppy. That suits you.

Don't care much about which political party. But I do, fiercely, believe in morality, honesty, ethics, principles, and integrity. In what way do you somehow think I don't?

You absolutely win this one. I'm shocked - I did not see this coming. Not sure how to explain it. Jake Paul at #14 by the WBA. It's not without controversy, but that doesn't change the fact that you were right, and I was wrong. (Not something you see posters say around here much - but they really should far more often. It's OK to be wrong.)

... and still, not me. You are one crazed child.

Only because it was a lie.

More yippy little dog. Keep it up pipsqueak.

That you're a liar - yes, that's true.

... and the Parade of Fools keeps marching on, with the yippy little dog leading the way. Be proud.

Those are not my words (read the thread, dummy. It's just above.) Those are your words, and your words are a constant string of lies. What's really too bad is that a "constant string of lies" used to be a condemnation less than a decade ago. Now, with the orange trumptard at the helm, it's just another day in politics. And people like you support that crap.
