Very nice uses of match/duel/dual/match.

Echoing 'Rasta; I, too, have reconsidered and softened my opinion, or sharpened my thinking, or become aware of something I had not previously considered at all on some topics (both wrestling and non-wrestling related) via being a member of this forum. I don't have specifics immediately in mind but can certify (sorry 3PtTD without proof) that it has happened and continues to happen.

Maintaining Humanity During Disagreements

Gravity: It's Only a Theory Can't be proven. Only observed, measured, predicted, etc. But not proven. Our existence. Can't be proven. We might be a dream in a really big sleepy giant's nightly repose. This is an opinion and discussion forum. Not a proof forum. Yelling "Prove it!" is the equivalent of blowing a raspberry. Satisfying to the blower, I suppose, but a defective discussion technique. -

Um, these were the citations. Census. Rasmussen. Reading comprehension is a skill. Usually expected by 5th grade or so. I guess you can call the census a non-factual collection of unknown schmucks' opinions of their citizenship and voter registration status. I will grant it validity. I don't know Rasmussen or his company but I have not heard their polls are any less valid than anyone else's or that they poll schmuckie recluses more than any other polling entity. Isn't a poll by definition a factual documentation of someone's opinion obtained by asking him or her? What is your beef with Rasmussen and the census bureau? As far as the math - 31%, 45%, and 72% in a poll usually do have error bands of +/-. 3% or so. I took 1/3 swaths of the citizens as D, R, and I which was a reasonable estimate. Maybe the actuals are 30%, 30%, 40%. Maybe 29.5%, 38.7%, 31.8%. By definition, all estimates can be made more precise but not a single bit of more precision will change the conclusion that over 50 million American citizens self-identifying as D or I do not believe that 81 million of their fellow citizens cast legal valid votes for Joe Biden. And they are not gullible and eager Trumpies. The more problematic thing is that 2 of 3 voters are concerned about cheating affecting the 2024 election. Do you think the number is really 3 of 5? Or 7 of 10? If the number is more than 1 of 10 then we have a really big issue with perceived integrity of the election and therefore with the public granting validity to the officials exercising public authority. This isn't about Trump. It is much bigger than that. -

31% of Democrats and 45% of independents don't believe Brandon got 81 million citizens validly casting a ballot for him. Let's do some math: Extrapolating the numbers and assume they are statistically valid and throw some Kentucky windage at this and say 1/3 of the total are Dems, 1/3 Reps, and 1/3 Indys and we have almost 240 million citizens > 24 million Dems (31%) and 36 million Indys (45%) for a total of almost 61 million who do not believe Brandon 81 million American citizens voted for Brandon. ~ 58 million Reps (72%) do not believe Let's Go got 81 million American citizen votes. By your logic, there are more Dem + Indy MAGAs than Rep MAGAs. Those are some seriously gullible and eager peeps to register as Dem and Indy yet STILL serve said single person's purposes. Or, you are wrong. The election had very obvious "irregularities" which will be repeated and all 3 sides (D, R, I) know it. The MAGA Dems in Bridgeport and Patterson already are experiencing the "most secure elections" in US history and the associated invalidation of those ironclad elections. Elections just keep getting more securer and honester. What do 2/3 of the people who actually vote know about anything? Rubes. -

You can now buy wrestling history.....for a price! Redundancy Department of Redundancy Whenever you buy something it has a price. That is what the word "buy" means. Anyone who buys an EV has money laying around to throw away on a symbolic sentimental items of little actual usefulness and value. At least these things probably won't depreciate as fast nor be as awful for the environment when they reach the time to send them to the landfill. -

I think your statement of " . . . do not have much in common with . . . wish no ill will, but . . . " is quite reasonable. However, if someone not from your side of any issue so much as hesitates a second before lavishing slobbering wet kisses on child mutilators and does not want porn in kindergarten libraries then he has "fears", is a phobist, and is accused of violating the civil rights of half the country's population. Can lose his job. Be assigned re-education. And there are even laws being passed that could put him in jail. If we apply the same rules to your very benign and reasonable statement then your sentiment makes you a hater and a conservaphobe. Imagine worrying that if someone here sent your statement to your HR office you could very probably lose your job. I am not being dramatic. I personally know of a person who ventured an opinion in an opinion forum outside of work in which he disagreed with the virtuous nature of chemical castration of children. Person was fired from his company for it. The company makes components for trucks, cars, trains, etc. Fired. Not much humanity in that disagreement, was there? -

I think the Commander in Chief also requested additional security including the National Guard and was turned down. Citizens roaming about and taking selfies in the capitol on that day happened because the Dems wanted it to happen. -
No & No! Oops. You're correct. He was pinfelled.

The THE is capitalized and shall not be abbreviated. THEosu. After the THE nothing else matters in columbus. It also must be said while inhaling and with an audible snort before any following noises are uttered. Trademarks are no longer simply visual. Audible emanations are included and must be practiced for precise usage. All other uses of exclaming inhalations and snorts will be pursued by injunctions. I have heard a rumor they will be dropping Ohio, state, and university from all branded merch and simply be known as THE soon. wOSU is clever and I like it. If OKST is not acceptable to all I think we must insist that all OSU references need modifiers. An unadorned OSU simply cannot stand. I nominate cOSU which can stand for Cowboy OSU or Central OSU. Oh, and by the way, Johnny Hendricks was pinned.

The Palestinians are suffering because of the actions of the Palestinians. Now and in the past. Palestinian political geniuses did all of this calculating. They knew there would be an Israeli response. They knew, as does Uncle Bernard, that no Arabs would let them in. Therefore they knew that their people would die due to their actions and they did it anyway. They chose this. The only miscalculation was that they misunderstood the resolve of the Israelis. Cease fires help the sneak attack aggressors. Imagine if Japan had asked for a cease fire after Pearl Harbor or Midway. If Germany had called for a cease fire at the same time in June of 1942. Antifa would have a real set of fascists to complain about rather than a reality TV show blowhard. Unconditional surrender and begging for peace by the losing side is the only long term way out of this now because the next set of terrorists do not honor the agreements made by the last set of terrorists. The tricky part is which side will be the losing side and who foolishly decides to join it?

Very nice differentiation, precision, and concise response on the exactness of the dbagness. Forums (Fora, I suppose) are the exact place to ask and discuss/debate questions of this nature without the hurling of ad hominen insults. Seems many do not realize this and think insulting someone personally is discussing/debating.

Her opponent is CUBANA. We ain't gonna put up with no misgenderin' nobody here! And it is wrong to state a nationality anyway, as NHS has learned the hard way. No nationalities. It is some sort of ist or phobe to do so. Unless your DNA is properly checked ahead of time for clearance to say Polak.

Most secure election in history. Most pope elections have more rigging, dossiers, ballot harvesting, fake FISA warrant applications, ballot count halts for burst water pipes and, you know, Republicans watching, etc. Where does this judge get off listening to and considering facts in making his rulings?!? Our democracy is at stake with MAGA fascists like this on the bench.

Interesting analogy to a wrestling thing here. Thank you because it made me pause and think of its applicability. Of course we coach the kids that they have to work hard enough to beat the other kid and with enough margin to beat the ref also (or, to be less antagonistic, to overcome a bad or missed call). So, coming back to politics, how do you "win" by enough margin to beat the opponent AND beat the courts also when it is a fact that the referees are "homers" in the local areas run by the opponent? I.E. the other kids' step mom is the referee. Had Trump remained a Democrat and won would he have been impeached? Indicted in New York? Had a pee pee tape dossier released on him and FBI officials/agents ADMIT they lied to FISA courts about him? Had all of his historical business activities investigated? How about if he simply had kept saying "you're fired" on TV? Not a single fact about his business dealings has changed between 2015 and now. What could possibly have caused the deals to be scrutinized now and not when they actually happened . . . ? What happened? I can't think of a thing. WKN, do you think the referees are not betting (or dependent) on the outcome of the game they are refereeing?
