Libertarians are MAJOR pro-abortion advocates. (As was Ayn Rand.) Assisted suicide, same thing. It's all about getting government OUT of most of our lives. Libertarians are also total OPEN BORDERS advocates, (with the idea that anyone who comes into this country would have to work for a living because Libertarians would also completely dismantle the welfare state.) Libertarians (at least the 90s versions) would have brought the entire military home and slash its budget. Also, ambassadors would be replaced by fax machines. They'd have to slash funding because they would get rid of ALL taxes, not just the income tax. They believe any national military needs could be financed voluntarily by a populace that agrees on the move. (Notice, I haven't bothered to debate any of those points in this post. Plenty of time for that later.)

EXACTLY. People come here to say what would get them punched in the face if they said it directly.

What you have to remember is that personalities and people do not exist here. Only our ideas. That's the ONLY thing we are judge on. If you are a libertarian, (a PURE one, as in late 80s, early 90s) then you are NOT a Nazi. If I called you one (and I honestly don't remember) accept my apologies.

What are the tranny threads? Can you name them? Considering that trannies are in the news, even trying to hijack and control all pop culture, maybe you should explain why there aren't more tranny threads. I start a LOT of topics. I get my sources mostly from Foxnews, Newsmax, DailyWire, and some other web sources. But I'll wait while you NAME the five trannie threads I began in ONE DAY. That's what you said. ONE DAY/.

If you or anyone can come up with that, then you or anyone who does is SOLOMON reincarnated. By the way, (and I'm taking a REAL risk in revealing this) I play the piano. I can breeze through a simple Bach Well Tempered Clavier piece (one I actually am able to sight read) and it will be relaxing to all. Or I can spend six months on one of the easiest Rachmaninoff pieces (Prelude in C# Minor) and everyone in the room will become very agitated at the chord structure and the direction it goes, especially when they realize the piece resembles a story of a funeral where dead person was buried alive. Playing piano in front of people in the real world means becoming one with the potted plants and the furniture. Staying out of the way of life. It pays pretty good, too.

I don't call EVERYONE who disagrees with me a goose stepping Nazi. There are probably some mainstream conservatives who disagree with me. (Hell, we're the independent thinkers here. We can't agree on lunch.) in individual discussions, if a liberal comes off with some truly NATIONAL SOCIALIST crap, and does so without any real thought at all, I'm going to call him/her on it. In my view, liberals today (and they didn't used to be that way) have a lot in common with National Socialist Nazis. Ideology wise, they are a carbon copy. It's just a matter of time before they adopt the tactics. If they want to spew such Nazi crap, they're going to get called on it. I've had TONS of libertarians disagree with me, and we've been involved in some knockdown drag out brawls. At no time would I ever even consider referring to them as Nazis or even communists. They are the polar opposite.

I'm not sure if I understand what "tagging" means. If it means I cite the name of another poster, then guilty as charged. I apologize up front for not dragging you into this mud wrestling match with the children. Frankly, I assumed you had better things to do. As far as being a coward goes, once again I'm a little mystified by how important some people think this place is. Here in Florida, I'm afraid of swimming in the ocean because of man eating sharks. I'm afraid of skinny dipping in swamps because of aggressive alligators and eastern diamondbacks. Those are true fears. What is there to be afraid of in a political message board. A liberal disagreeing with me is not a threat to my safety, at least not in THIS environment, where we are pretty much all equal and equally harmless.

I'm assuming that you're not suggesting that white applicants for police positions in black neighborhoods would be inferior based solely on color. So you have to wonder: Just HOW did things get so polarizing in the first place? What was the factor that caused a lot (not all) black communities to be so resentful of white faces in the uniform? Can't be because of blacks shot by white cops. Black cops have shot a lot more blacks. So where is the malfunction in pop culture that has led to this Jim Crow situation. (And I agree that some--not all--black neighborhoods would resent a white face in a uniform, regardless of qualifications.)

Again, that would violate the Civil Rights Act as well as the 14th Amendment. Hiring should be based SOLELY on merit, and NOT race.

I don't know what childish safe space universe of ignorance you live it, but I've known two actually alcoholics in my lifetime. One was put into an institution to dry out and wound up in the hospital, where they almost couldn't stabilize her due to the DTs. (Delerium Tremens. You get that when drying out.) It almost killed her. Alcohol addiction is a lot more dangerous than heroin addiction. The other example was an alcoholic neighbor I had. Saw him every day. Never knew what was going on, but he was quietly drunk every day. Then his liver failed and we watched him bleed to death, almost from every pore in his body. After I saw that, I quit drinking for six months. Didn't have the DTs. Didn't even crave it. Every once in a while I'll go a night or two without any alcohol at all. Automatically that means I'm not an alcoholic, because if I quit I'd wind up in the hospital. If you're just using alcoholism as yet another childish insult, you've hit a dead end here. And thanks a million for helping dredge up a couple of really dark memories that I would have preferred not looking at. Now,do you have anything intelligent to add about the subject of this thread?

This may seem a little bit off the subject, but I'm assuming its about race based hiring. Disney (at least in Orlando) has been able to circumvent the Civil Rights Act for decades in its hiring practices, (as well as Florida' Right To Work statute). How? At Disney, it's not called jobs, hiring, or human resources. It's called CASTING. That mean if Disney wants an all white cast for an attraction, it will get nothing but white. And since unions are very active at Disney, you cannot get a regular job there without being a member of a union. (And you wonder why Governor DeSantis took away Disney's special privileges. Maybe this is why.)

You issued threats. You called me an alcoholic, and you acted as if you are entitled to be able to do those things independent of any normal criteria. What is everyone else offering? What are YOU offering (other than a wonderful KAREN imitation.) In fact, I paid this forum a supreme compliment when I once suggested that it had a lot of courage to permit free market discussion of the issues with little or not bias. I once said this place embraces the FIRST AMENDMENT probably more than any other forum. Explain to me how that spits on this place.

I told you, I don't care about robo from Cali or Rebound from South Cali, it comes down to how you expose your ideas to win the battle. I wasn't aware this was a battle. I was always under the impression that it was merely a political message board, where participants discuss and debate the issues. So, why would they listen to a man that starts 5 sex trannies topics today instead of using his IQ to make a difference in economics or something better?! First, you'll have to NAME the five threads about sex trannies TODAY. (Honestly, I only know of ONE, where I suggested that Drag Queens were pedophiles.) Secondly, in the MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS, if a thread about sex trannies is inferior, it dies on the vine from lack of participation. How about letting the free market decide those things here? I've created threads from a LOT of diverse topics, using reliable sources all the way. I've created several threads on the demise and danger of Woke philosophy. (What is sexual about that?) I created one on the Supreme Court about to rule on Affirmative Action. What's sexual about that? What is sexual about a California community college announcing it was taking conservatives to the slaughterhouse? What is sexual about California driving insurers from the state? To bring you up to speed, I choose topics that are in the news and are relevant. And I always include a link to the news source along with just enough documentation to not put this forum in risk of copyright violation. Tell me again with your problem with me acting like everyone else here. EVERYONE posts opinions. EVERYONE links sources. EVERYONE occasionally engages in personal attacks, as you have called me an alcoholic many times in the childish tirades you somehow have felt the need to engage in today.

Excuse me, but in this case Rebound was discussing and disagreeing with the information in the first post. I saw no personal attacks, no other violations of any decorum. I then responded to him in kind, with additional information. We probably might go back and forth in this topic. So far, you are the FIRST to throw out a personal attack, by calling me a drunk. Maybe you should read your own rules and decide that they apply to you as well. Also, to alleviate your paranoia, HOW DOES ONE DESTROY THIS FORUM? How does that happen? Scare your advertisers away? I've seen no advertisers here. (I've actually seen advertisers at other forums, so I know they exist.) Scare other posters away? My threads have ATTRACTED a lot of spirited debate. Tell me how that destroys a forum. Why not quit the job as hall monitor and engage in what this and all political message boards exists to do: Argue the issues.

You obviously have no clue about what Jim Crow actually was Jim Crow Laws were created by Democrats. They were created because newly freed blacks were creating businesses and competing in the marketplace. Jim Crow laws were put in place to prevent their competition, as well as their voting and their ability to attend school. . What’s more, Harvard is a private university. Why aren’t they free to admit students how they see fit? So you'd have no problem with Harvard admitting ONLY WHITE students, regardless of merit? By the way, there are only TWO private universities in America. One is Hillsdale. The other is Groves City College. They are considered private because they receive NO federal funding whatsoever, not even federally guaranteed student loans. Hillsdale began rejecting federal funding when the government began demanding documentation on the racial makeup of its student body. (Of course, Hillsdale was the first university to graduate a black woman after Reconstruction.) The Supreme Court will be ruling on whether or not universities accepting federal funds have the right to violate the Civil Rights Act. Affirmative action does just that.

What makes you think I'm doing that? I'm just doing what everyone else is doing. I'm submitting opinions and reliable sources to back them up. Whose "individual right" am I violating? Do you think liberal has a RIGHT not to get his/her/its feelings hurt? And what is the purpose of making the best out of this board? Is it competing with other boards? So far, I haven't seen any advertising here, so this place is a PURE socialist, egalitarian arena. Everyone is equal. Physically. What you're looking to do, apparently, is make me agree more with the liberals and no longer be an individual. Have you instructed Robosmith to do the same? Or any of the other liberals here? They've attacked me in a manner more childish than some of the kindergarten classes I used to sub for.

Educated posters? You are an alcoholic from Florida, while Michael holds the Black Belt in Politics, troll. Excuse me, TROLL. I wasn't aware that a political message board was judged by martial arts. I created a credible thread about the closing of a Walmart in Chicago, and your pompous windbag who holds the black belt just said "thread closed." What does a person have to do to earn a black belt that entitles him/her to make such a stupid announcement. As far as TROLLING and NAMECALLING goes, you just called me an alcoholic. What belt did you have to earn to entitle you to the right to throw such insults. What makes you think you're that important? So, let me guess, do you think you can win because you can scream and yell? So let me guess. Since when did discussion of political topics become a sport that one wins or loses? How did the rules of physical life change so much, just because now we are all EQUAL, physically in this place. Did I not show you respect? Yet, you go and spit in the face of this platform that I put money, the admin put money in, everyone maybe just wants a place to exchange ideas in, you come, 5 threads from you I HAVE SEEN about Sex. Let's see. What is sexual about THIS thread? What is sexual about the Supreme Court deciding on Jim Crow/Affirmative Action? What is sexual about President Trump? So, because you are unable to get a woman even drunk, wtf man, are you an incel drunk, you come here, brother, I am warning you one more, this platform saved my life, and I won't allow it for scum like you to take over, keep playing with this engineer, not even a Netflix TV show will save you. You know nothing about me. Except for the information I've shared about a substitute teacher job, I've been very careful to keep my other occupation secret, (mostly because REAL LEFT WING TROLLS from other message boards had actually sought me out on the job and tried to get me fired.) If you think my superior views and superior education has taken over ANYTHING, you are not seeing things clearly. It is physically IMPOSSIBLE to take over this environment. I might post some OPINIONS that hurt your feelings, but that's the nature of this environment. I'm not going to suggest that only the most PATHETIC carbon based life form can believe his/her LIFE was saved by a political message board, but if you're suggesting that you have had suicidal tendencies in life because of disagreement in some other political discussion environment, you SERIOUSLY need to seek professional help. A political message board cannot be sued for medical malpractice, so you need to get out of this environment and find a REAL shrink, (if that's what you mean by "saved my life." If you are trying to suggest that your "life" was saved by a safe space, then just admit it. This environment is YOUR SAFE SPACE. Problem is, this place also respects (at least for now) the FIRST AMENDMENT, so opinions both left and right are coming at you and they don't all play by Queensbury Rules.

It is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to take anything personally, because nobody exists here. We are all just TEXT. All that exists are our ideas. Nobody here has given an actual name or any way to get in touch. When it comes to an EGALITARIAN environment, you won't find a more PURE example than political message boards. NOBODY is physically superior. NOBODY is richer, stronger, more beautiful, poorer, uglier, etc. We are all EQUAL. We are nothing more than just TEXT. That means NONE of us are special. We are ALL the same. The ONLY thing that makes us individuals is our ideas. This is the marketplace of ideas. In a marketplace, you have to sell something. Of course, that's almost a contradiction because there is no way to get PAID for selling a good or service in this lace. So pretty much, we are GIVING our political views and opinions for FREE. NOBODY is getting paid in this marketplace. It's just a place we all come to air our grievances, discuss and argue. It is NOT a safe space. Real life is NOT a safe space. Liberals, you REALLY need to take a chill pill. You aren't going to get your way all the time, either in the real world or here. GROW UP.

https://reason.com/2019/01/22/homeschooling-produces-better-students/ Homeschooling Produces Better-Educated, More-Tolerant Kids. Politicians Hate That "Today's homeschool advocates aren't the Christian Right, trying to dismantle public education. Rather, they're parents who don't believe that the current school model is best, or enough, for their children," reports the Pacific Standard. "Today's homeschoolers are more demographically, geographically, and ideologically diverse," agrees the City Journal. From the responses to NCES's survey, families take on educational responsibilities for their children for a variety of reasons, including safety, educational approach and achievement, and philosophy. All are good reasons for stepping away from a one-size-fits-some government institution. Let's look at traditional measures of academic achievement. In 2014, SAT "test scores of college-bound homeschool students were higher than the national average of all college-bound seniors that same year," according to NHERI. "Mean ACT Composite scores for homeschooled students were consistently higher than those for public school students" from 2001 through 2014, according (PDF) to that testing organization, although private school students scored higher still. By contrast public school kids "bombed the SAT" reports Bloomberg. Mixed, but generally disappointing results since then have education experts worry that many public school graduates are unprepared for either higher education or the workforce. https://missionmomplex.com/do-homeschooled-students-perform-better-statistics/ Do Homeschooled Students Perform Better? 8 Statistics Here are 8 statistics related to the performance quality of homeschooled students: Homeschool students are more likely to graduate college. A quarter of homeschool students skip a grade. Most homeschool students take part in outside activities. 50% of parents homeschool for safety reasons. Parent engagement is an indicator of student success. Homeschooled students score higher on academic tests. Homeschooled students score highly in social skills. Homeschooled students score better on emotional tests. https://www.brighthubeducation.com/homeschool-methodologies/87123-what-do-the-statistics-say-about-homeschooling/ Statistics on Homeschooling - What Research Reveals About Homeschooling Homeschool Success Rate Do homeschool students do well in comparison to their traditionally schooled counterparts? The answer is yes! In the same study cited above in Spring 2008, homeschool students scored exceptionally high on test scores, in the 80th percentile, in comparison with the public school average of 50th percentile. Also, a study done in 1997, of 5,402 homeschool students showed that on average, their scores were 30-37 percentile points higher than their public school counterparts. The study also showed that the longer a child was homeschooled the better the score was. For example, a first year homeschool student scored in the 59th percentile, while a student homeschooled two or more years prior to taking the test score int the 86th to 92nd percentile

I seem to be the ONLY one using reason. Everyone here is using language. It's not my fault I'm just better at it than the liberals. And if you're wanting to cut off spirited debate because your feelings get hurt, you're the TROLL here. Is this a threat? Are you threatening me? Boys and girls, does ANYONE here have an intelligent response to the information in the first post?

It might have been fake news, had I got it from the Treason Times, CNN, MSNBC, or THE VIEW. This story comes from FoxNews, so it is factual,whether you goose steppers like it or not. Maybe instead of acting STUPID, you might come up with an intelligent comment about it. Do you want money? Do you want Bitcoin? Is that what this is about? I've "CONTRIBUTED" more facts, knowledge and education than ALL the liberals here COMBINED have been exposed to in their few years in public schools before dropping out. What else do you want? What else do you think you're entitled to? And what have you done to EARN such an entitlement?

Can you recall the year you lost your ability to detect sarcasm? The queers have underestimated the tolerance of the public to pedophelia. Maybe ten years in the future, one can joke about something like that. But not now. Of course, if a bunch of Catholic nuns announced WE'RE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN to Baptize them into the Catholic Faith, you goose steppers would start constructing the concentration camps just like your predecessors, the Nazis. Hanging out with all those school age children really did a number on ya huh maestro.... A substitute teacher does not "hang out" with students. You probably didn't know that because you dropped out of Kindergarten and have no idea how teachers are supposed to act. You forgot to answer my question.... Why do you hate gays so much? Asked and answered YOU LYING MOR0N. I DON'T hate queers, as a group. Unlike RACIST NAZIS LIKE YOU, I don't just an entire group based on individual activity. I disagree with man who take it up the ass from other men, but what they do behind closed doors is none of my business. I draw the line at Pedophiles, which is why these DRAG QUEERS are all about. Why do you support these freaks? Are you a pedophile? Have you ever touched someone's child in an inappropriate manner? Have you ever committed child rape? You certainly sound like you have.

In other words, you think those queer pedos were lying. I hope you're right.

I posted a credible link that reports a bunch of Drag Queen pedophiles announcing "WE'RE HERE, AND WE'RE QUEER, AND WE'RE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN. Do you actually think those drag queen pedophiles were kidding? As far as pink patches, I'd say your ancestors were pretty sharp with those yellow patches.

If a guy with a gun says he's going to come to your house and kill you, what more old hard evidence do you need? 'If a drag queer announces he's coming for your children, I'm pretty sure he isn't planning on giving the kid a math class.
