NewYorker Mag "Is it time to torch the constitution?"

[revelarts]

So? Want me to get started on Man's irresponsible behavior toward the environment which goes over like a snowball in Hell on this board? The first misrepresentation starts with someone thinking I'm a greenie, which I am not, and has nothing to do with my position. Goes downhill from there. Silence or responses that have nothing to do with man's irresponsible behavior toward the environment.

I get over it.

You'd probably have an ally with me on the environment Gunny.

But Yeah man, I'm over it.

Well this has been a very serious, personal thread. So, who wants to post on food? LOL!

oookk
so just to be clear you folks think that,

...

For me... It's a scattershot approach where I see that previously unproven posits that are used as defense of the current unproven posit where it makes no sense to attempt to discuss the current issue because I'll just see another recitation of the current list of ills. I see arguments where A=B and B=C therefore A=C... but A =/= B and B =/= C therefore A can't be proof of C.

... I don't need fj refuting your information in an attempt to protect me from information he doesn't deem appropriately presented. He comes across as a government worker .. like it's his job to protect us from ourself.

I only offer a critical eye. One that doesn't seem to be offered at times.

I do the same, Has Fj or anyone ever called you out for it?
Or assumed your motives?

You two have vastly different posting styles.

I know that fj has disagreed with me, most often with my read on something. Sometimes I see what he's saying, mostly he's wrong, of course! Same with Gunny. There are times that Gunny actually attacks what I post. That's where the fun is.

My like thank isn't a slam at anyone else. While I agree for the most part in posting style, I don't mean that others whether posting memes, videos, the Russian guy, any Chinese that stumble thru before NT nukes them, can't have their say.

..

So I think this will be the 3rd time in one thread where you confirm that you're far more concerned about style over substance/content.

I think I've been clear, I certainly hope you stay and participate. You do you. If fj or myself or anyone else doesn't care for your post, too bad, so sad.

Same in return. You certainly don't have to agree with anyone's criticism. If it's on 'style,' and you're happy with what you said, their problem. OTOH, if it's substantial you might want to persuade? Just posting a huge excerpt from some link, probably won't get much interaction, but your choice.

just sayin'.

What? You eating roadkill? Somehow I doubt it.

SSL makes good breakfast!

Seriously, I buy into some of rfk topics like food dyes and processed foods.

Very incorrect. If you read and understood what I posted then you would have come to the opposite conclusion.

Don't knock road kill until you've tried it.

Will never happen. More likely to go vegetarian.

Hey Rev ... what I've come to appreciate about your postings are your sources. They were not ones I had previously been acquainted with. Some of those led me to other sources. Now I have a ton of people I listen to and read their stuff. Do I agree with it all? Of course not. But at least I have an idea of what people out there are focused on.

To me it seems your sources question the popular narrative which I have discovered really interests me. The popular, or mainstream narrative, was becoming very boring. All those sources were repeating the same propaganda message (almost verbatim)

And, because I don't adhere to the popular narrative I've been labeled a conspiracy theorist (which was coined during the Kennedy coverup to shame people from asking questions ... and it's still being effectively used today). I brought up the HAARP situation 13-14 years ago and everyone thought I was crazy. There are still people today who don't want to believe that kind of power exists. However, if only 1 person follows the info and it inspires them to do more research on their own (as you did) then I've scored a point.

While I tend to agree with you on it, I understand it to a point. At least from when I was stationed in VA. Lot of deer in Western VA/VA. I believe it was WV that changed its laws to allow people to take road kill home based on a lot of poverty v leaving perfectly good meat on the side of the road if you run into a deer.

We got some good Marine humor out of it as a matter of fact. Hillbillies hunting with their 5.56 mm Dodge trucks and whatnot

I think I'd be more worried about damage to my vehicle.

Just passing on some of what others have passed on to me.
I've learned stuff from you & everyone's links here. One of the reasons I like coming.
Other people seeing bits of the world i don't, I tend to take all the info from nearly any source as something to work with cumulatively. There's something there of interest, even if it PURELY one sided or propaganda. Usually there's some facts in the mix no matter what.
But since about 2004, I've found a lot of the so-called conspiracy sources tend to cover the MOST ground informationally... good, bad, ugly & speculative.

others mileage may vary
