But… there are libertarians, this is an objective fact… Some folks are so extremely left that any other political opinion is to the right of them. You may need to come back a little towards the center.

Edit: In contemporary US politics libertarian is usually used to describe a set of political values that advocate liberal social policies with conservative economic policies. This means they don’t fit neatly on a left/right spectrum because they (mostly) align with Democrats on social issues and Republicans on economic issues.

This is just objectively wrong…

Yall… “libertarian” isn’t necessarily right or left.

It is important to notice that political labels mean different things in different parts of the world and at different points of time.

Libertarians can be seen as left of the right and right of the left.

They’re good. I needed someone to pick some up, so I sent them this Pic. I swear they didn’t pay me to share this. But I feel like saying that makes me sound guilty. Even more so now because I’m explaining it.

like a cheap crappy plastic pair you’d get for free with a discman.

You must be matured around my age talking about discmans like that. Although, The last “discman” i bought was a portable CD player, and wireless earbuds didn’t exist.

This is crazy, according to wiki: “The Sony brand name for Discman changed to CD Walkman, initially for Japanese lineups launched between October 1997 and March 1998,[1] and then entirely in 2000. Discman and CD Walkman players were discontinued at the beginning of the 2010s when they lost popularity with the general public.”

Makes me feel a little old…

(I had this ultrasound procedure because I had a hematoma and severe swelling)

(The device was a button in my testicle I had to push every time I needed to pee. Because I was incontinent, I couldnt hold my urine.)

Of course. I had a medical device called an Artificial Urethra Sphincter implanted in me in February 2015. The device started to malfunction. For years, I suffered from neuropathy (the cuff eating away at my Urethra.). So they finally removed the device, and I have a catheter now. After a couple of months of healing, I will get another device installed in my groin. I have a bag full of piss strapped to my thigh right now.

I’d never gotten an ultrasound on my balls before, it was very interesting. So many people get to see my package right now. The surgical area is my groin. They nearly completely shaved me for surgery.so many Dr’s. And nurses poking at my private parts. My junk was bruised black and blue so bad. Haha. I pictures if you want to see. This is medically interesting, no trolling.

From my understanding, most people have one larger than the other.

Was that an attempt at Pig latin? Cuz you did it wrong.

God help me… I wanna make fun of you. You removed my comment for “incivility.” Arg. Nvm. Thanks, lemme gestapo.

Lol. It’s the topping on my cake

Removed by mod

How’d you know I wasn’t American?

Lol it is funny isn’t it.

Love it! Thank you for that. I have been corrected and concede. I mean damn, that was well-informed.

Major update: politician acts like a politician.

Lol. Hmmm ok

Thank you, same. Yeah, I agree that continuing would probably not produce much and would be tiring for us both. Well, I don’t think I consider the war in Ukraine UNimportant, but maybe rather that our extreme involvement is just that, maybe too extreme. What really gets me is when I hear about other 3rd parties leaching off the support we are supposed to be sending to Ukraine. These are people stoking the flames getting people riled about our need to support Ukraine, but their only real agenda is benefiting themselves and constituents by siphoning of funds. That’s just one aspect…

Socially, so many folks around here have such polarized opinions, and it’s crazy to me. Some of these are the same folks who didn’t even realize Ukraine and Russia shared a border a few years ago, but now they act like they are professors of the geopolitics of Eastern Europe. Anyway, let me not rant anymore…

Thank you for coming at me straight, brother.

Uhg, gross… your attitude (and opinions) is ignorant and contemptible. I’m guessing you’re probably a teenager.

Uhg… I can’t respond to such a long rant, but here’s some things.

First, you’re pretty right about my original comment. It was pretty inflammatory. I regret coming off that way and definitely could have written with more tact. Honestly, I wasn’t wrong, though. 80% of the responses have been ignorant, insulting personal attacks. Yours now included.

Sigh… ok. You’re mostly wrong because you’re making assumptions, generalizing, misquoting, and putting words in my mouth.

You’ve been disrespecting people from the jump, saying only like 4 people will be able to understand you.

Not what I said or implied. I said 2 or 3 would be better informed, not “would be able to understand me.” And big difference.

You reject the idea that you might be wrong and that other people might have a point.

I do? What assumption did you make to come to that conclusion? Especially after I had just said some would be better informed than I?

You simply dismiss and attack people who disagree with you.

I did? Can you give me an example of how I did that?

You’ve had chances to prove your point and didn’t, at all, you just attacked people.

Which point did I have a “chance to prove” but rather just attacked?

and their people raped and murdered, well, it seems like you don’t have any morals.

You’re just putting words in my mouth here, I didn’t imply that. Very few people “don’t care” about rape and murder, and to try to paint me as such a person is ignorant, disingenuous, and shows your agenda to try to color me in as a “bad guy” or “sociopath”.

Saying you don’t care if they win it’s some cold shit.

No, it’s not. That’s only your opinion and based on this characature you’re trying to turn me into.

when you enter the conversation saying people won’t be able (to understand) you because they don’t get it

Didn’t say that, or imply that.

You called people who might disagree with you “parrots” and “drones” and here you are talking about disrespect?

I didnt say that those who disagree with me were “parrots” or “drones.” Rather, just stated that is what people would mostly do here.

you are did come out of the gate attacking anyone who might disagree with you.

No, it was an attack on the ignorant with terrible opinions. And as proof, everyone here that came politely and respectful, I also treated the same. I have welcomed opposing opinions when stated politely.

In summation, I’m not your damn straw man. You trying to paint me as some characature at best is probably a fault of reading comprehension. At worst, it’s intentional and purposeful to use such poor tactics to try to improve your argument. I’ve never claimed any victimhood. I claimed I’ve been personally attacked, which is true.
