Like, I don't even understand where the hell Chula is coming from anymore. In like five seconds he went from "The people have the power to change things! OBAMA ROCKS!" to "lol, our system is too tightly gripped by the rich and powerful to ever change, so deal with it." And yet I'm the one that gets called a lazy defeatist.

Pretty sure the Founding Fathers would be ashamed of you, Chula.

I have 3 questions for you. Stay focused.


3. Do you agree that a person who is inching up on 60 might have a different perspective on things (including politics) than a person in their mid 20s?

Wow! Sixty inches! That must be hell to get inside your .... pants... :yikes:

Look up the word infer, dumbass. When you use that as a basis to invalidate our stances, you are IMPLYING superiority.

Yeah sorry but I was going to say the same thing. You can't infer to someone, they can only infer from what you imply.

So much for Sockeye Salmon. Thanks Greg Pruitt. Meets with the CEO of the mining company for 30 minutes and then, without consulting the EPA or the scientific community, overturns the EPA protection that was the result of years of study on the issue.

Mining CEO was just interviewed and came across as a total ass.

Why don't you sit down and have a talk with your corporate best buddies?

so I will take neoliberal Obamacare over the Republican healthcare plan because it saves lives

it is not an all or nothing game

With the existential issues it is all or nothing. Global warming. WMD's. Depletion of forests and destruction of all bodies of water and the ecosystems they contain.

And honestly, as a person without health insurance, I don't give a **** about Obamacare because it doesn't help me at all. I want to go to the doctor for free. Anything else can **** off. I'm not paying ****. Not a cent. **** their rip off bull****. I'll die instead.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 10-10-2017 08:13 PM

dude free healthcare is the ****ing ****. i’ve been to the doctor like 4 times this month and 2 of the times he was like “nah, you’re good mate.” might go back tomorrow just for something to do.

sucks to be american, i guess.

OccultHawk 10-10-2017 08:27 PM

That's cool

Fight on

You don't strike me as anarchistic at all but that's cool

Do what you want and define yourself how you want

Elphenor is an anarcho-fascist.
