This is very good......
We are all familiar with Pastor Niemoller’s famous poem:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
This was posted by the owner of a website that i go to quite a bit....
“As a Jewish person” – a proud observant Jew living in the Jewish homeland and who observes Judaism and does not just use my Judaism as a prop, or the words “as a Jew” to silence people – I am sickened by the cancel culture we find ourselves in.
Am I fully comfortable with Gina’s comparison between Jewish treatment at the hands of the Nazis and the treatment of people with differing political beliefs by their political opponents? No.
Do I believe Gina is antisemitic? No.
Do I believe people should be wearing masks? Yes.
Do I believe there was voter fraud in the US elections? Yes.
Do I believe the extent of it would have changed the final result? No.
Do I believe Gina should have lost her job over expressing any of these views? No.
Judging by her Nazi comparison post, there is no indication Gina is a Jew-hater. I do not believe she intended to trivialize the Holocaust. And she makes a valid point, namely that the Nazis slowly got regular people to treat the Jew as the other.
Hey Idol, is this not Interesting, how people think around the world about the US and what goes on there??
Fuck Idol, it is safer being in an F1 racing car then a bicycle :cry:
2-time F1 Champion Fernando Alonso hospitalized after cycling accident
"Conscious and well"
Formula One driver Fernando Alonso has been hospitalized after being hit by a car while cycling in Switzerland, his Alpine F1 team confirmed to Fox News.
Not sure if you saw this, i am not sure if F1 racing has Left Wing fans:unsure:
I didn't see any news posting on Fake News CNN or MSDNC??
I know that you are not a big fan of NFL Football (I thought i saw a post here you saying that??), an interesting question, wondering how much Left Wing viewers there is for the sport?? I can tell you i was glad to stay up and watch Metallica play one song vs one of the worst halftime shows i have watched in i don't know how many years!!!!...
Did you watch the game and halftime show?? What did you think of both??
Attachment 186133
15 in a row FFS. FIFTEEN! Must be some kind of record! Glad to see someone is doing something for all the insomniacs out there :wacko:
First I'd like to say that I've seen meth addicts with more self control and less manic than your last few posts.Quote:

I also think that Senators Graham, Lee and Cruz openly meeting with Trump's defense team after swearing an oath to be impartial with nothing in the way of repercussion for doing so, basically makes the Democrats case on why accountability is so essentially important.
Sorry but I'm going to skip most of your other posts. There is a certain level of mindless hatred to them that is so prevalent with so many right wingers these days.
I use to believe that the difference between the left and the right was that liberals cared about everyone's interests and conservatives only cared about their own. Now I think we have moved to a darker place where the Left wants to try and fix and the Right only seeks to destroy.
I didn't watch it and true story, only found out by accident who the participants were the day before it took place.Quote:

Hate the player, not the game.
On the Gina Carano firing of which you refer, I thought what she said wasn't anywhere bad enough to warrant a backlash, let alone a woke war against her.
Then again I think the whole Marvel/ Disney thing is a little silly and should be less the domain of adults and more the domain of children.
And CNN and MSNBC or pretty much all the Left Wing Media ?? Do they lie, or just Fox News??Quote:

And i agree whit you, but what is the real reason why they met??Quote:

Really and the Left Wing shitbags are all lovable people right:lol:Quote:

Really, explain what they want to destroy?Quote:

I will keep posting because i am bored so that is what i do, and if you want to give your obtuse inaccurate responses all the best to you..
Like i said it is interesting how other people think and really see/view the world.....Again Facts matter weather you like them or not.......
And obtuse one , you should watch the impeachment trial today and see the other side, i know you have your mind made up already, but hey what the heck right.......
I highlighted the word "any" for a reason that didn't involve the use of meth.
My answers aren't simple because most of the things they address aren't something that is clearly black and white or can be easily summed up in a forum post on a wank FST board.
That and my patience with dealing with a brick wall is growing ever thinner.
You know it is funny that you always here that Baseball is really the American past-time, but if you really look into football in the US, fuck just look at the size of the college football stadiums right!!!, I mean they have a bigger spectator compacity then the NFL stadiums and they are usually sold out as well.....Quote:

And if you look at a lot of these small American towns/urban areas, really that is what the kids dream of, playing in the big leagues right....
I think really there is a lot of kids that do make it really do love the sport, and playing, then when the Dollars kick in then i agree with you it seems the love dies.....
Again the problem here was the way people took the meaning of what she was saying and twisted it to a narrative depending where you go/went in the media...Quote:

I personally had to read what she posted a few times to really see what she was saying, and when i went to that site i go to all the time, and saw his explanation it really made more sense to me, that really it wasn't that bad and for sure didn't warrant her being fired!!...
And funny i assume that Rupert Murdoch big chunk of ownership in Disney has no influence.....
My apologizes, i didn't pay attention to the bold "Any", and well when it comes to myself this is the only place i do post so maybe i am looking for more of a straight forward answer..Quote:

And funny i do notice that a lot of Fox News reporting never hits Left Wing media outlets, and that is a curiosity why???
I mean it is "FACT" that Gov Coumo of New York is responsible for the deaths of thousands of seniors!!! He fucked up!!!
But i see you don't see it that way, but i guarantee Millions of Americans and family members of those seniors do, and yet none of this was on any Left Wing news media?? Not even a rebuttable or saying it is not Factual...
I am surprised that doesn't worry you Idol?? Wouldn't you think this would be something to report to the people??
The same they Left Wing keep going after Texas and Florida for being open and not locked down!! Yet they have less cases and less deaths then every major state that is locked down??
That is not strange to you?? Wouldn't you think the states that are open should be commended??
And again it is your right to say whatever you want... even know sometimes i am rolling on the floor laughing.....And like i said it is interesting to see peoples responses...
Like this interesting question... Do all of your friends and family have the same outlook/agreements/views that you have?? That is if you have any or speak to any??
