Glad to have you back CAF! Missed your insight, wit and posts. Now back to the game.

At some point whether or not their view is true becomes irrelevant. I would say when people take over government buildings would be one of those points.

I was just refuting your ridiculous stance

No none of it is right, but if we continue this cycle of "yeah but this side " did this then this cycle of stupidness is never going to stop. Shit needs to end, period. And yeah 50% of the country is sitting back because they arent extreme fucking idiots...this is the 1% extreme morons causing all this division

Politics today has become nothing but “yeah but this side”. The extremes of both sides are fucking nuts. The top people in both political parties only care about power and being re-elected, the good of the people be damned. Both sides are colossally hypocritical, turning a blind eye to what their side does while lambasting the side doing the same thing.

No one (I don't think) supports violence by any group; BLM, Proud Boys, Antifa, Boogaloo, etc.

If you don't understand that it's different when the president of our country encourages violence, calls the press the enemy of the people, and even today seems convinced there was a stolen election...then no one can help you.

What is it you think you refuted? Are there not a massive number of disenfranchised people? Have their elected officials succeeded in promoting their interests?

Not sure how old everyone is on here, but I think the problem with our country right now is that people are raised not to fail and get everything they want. Everyone gets a trophy and don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Only makes sense that now when you don’t get what you want, you cry, blame others, burn cities and take over government buildings. Good times. Our country is in trouble.

yep, taking over a little city hall same as storming the US Senate representing 330 million people. Get a clue.

How about now?

I love this talking point, because it is the ultimate self own. Who the hell do you think gave that generation the participation trophies and encouraged that environment you now loathe? I don’t think the younger generation gave it to themselves.

You are exactly right. It’s not the youth of today’s fault it’s the people who made decisions that everyone should be protected and babied. I don’t know where it came from but it’s a big part of the problem. Maybe a lot of it came when both parents started working and parents started feeling sorry for their kids. But yes it’s my generation that created the wussification of America. Never agreed with it.

How old do you have to be? How old is Trump? Is that the number? Trump years old for this to apply?
