I feel like there's a message in that post below the surface.

Bout right. Add the vast majority of popular video games these days and you've nailed it. I hate most first-person shooters.

Looking back at your list you're like the anti-me.
|
Wow, a conservative sociopath with a head full of conspiracy theories. But I like a little danger and you're not into dreadlocks, incense or emoticons so I might have a crush on you after all.
|
I"m about the furthest you can get from a conservative. Conservatives hate Anarchists more than Communists. I don't think I believe in any conspiracy theories either.
|
As you customised my list, kept the stuff you kept and called yourself the anti me, how could I not assume you weren't portraiting yourself as a gun right activist/global warning sceptic and truther who enjoyed massproduced crap, anarchy and marihuana? It reminded me of a Ted Kaczynski kind of conservative.
|
9/11 truther does not imply conspiracy theorist. But yes I am a gun activist, global warming skeptic, who enjoys marijuana, mass produced crap. I'm also an anarchist which is like a conservative's anti-matter.
|
A truther might not think of him-or herself as a conspiracy theorist, but everyone else thinks of you as one. Same goes for the "global warming scepisism". I've also met plenty of Marihuanasmoking conspiracy theorists, so it kind of makes sense. Nobody outside the US understands your gun right activism, and I've always associated it with your countries conservatives. But you seem to be a more a complex fella who cherrypicks your extremes from the worst of both worlds. Where I live hardly no one ever gets killed, and we've never had a high school massacre. Because we don't have all these weapons lying around. Simple as that.
|
Yes because when an attack on American soil occurs which causes a pronounced change in foreign policy for at least the next decade and results in thousands of deaths it's 'conspiracy theorist' thinking to question:
A) If the government is covering it's behind because it didn't know about the attack, but should have known so, and is so negligent in it's duty to protect us
B) The government knew that attack was going to occur and allowed it happen .
C) The government neither knew of the attack nor does the information suggest that they should have reasonably been able to prevent it, but it high governmental officials had strong connections to these individuals through past interventionist policies which are being covered up by the weak in-house investigation which occurred.
Actually all of those things are pretty plausible and not out of line with the past history of our government.
I have serious doubts with about the integrity of global warming. Much like I do about string theory. Physicist who oppose string theory pretty much have their researched mocked and find it very hard to get grants. Those that grant them have already decided the theory is verified and research is only needed to develop it, not to critique it. A similar thing seems to be happening in climatology. Also, their mathematical models tend to be absurd, among many other issues I have with the movement.
I don't smoke marijuana lols. I just have this thing where people should be able to do what they want when it's not hurting others instead of being hunted like foxes by the government, thrown into jail on taxpayer dimes to become hardened criminals leaving their families shattered and struggling to survive.
Yes that incredibly complex situation can clearly just be explained by the fact that no weapons are laying around. Let's ignore the multiple uses for firearms, the fact that prohibitions don't remove any good from an economy, and that school massacres can be committed with scores of items available where you live (maybe a car, maybe a barrel of gasoline, maybe a knife, maybe one of the hundreds of deadly devices you can make just by raiding the chem lab in your highschool).
I hardly think that having a consistent political philosophy, rather than one riddled with contradictions, is cherry picking, but you probably have a nonsensical explanation for that point too.

Truly you have a dazzling intellect.

I actually don't talk that much due to my brother (older) being a dominant talker. So this isn't really a problem for me. I prefer to just listen and see what that reveals about the talker.

Or people who are too busy thinking about what they plan to say as you speak and give an explanation on a subject matter.

I knew a girl once whose mouth was always going but her ears were just there to hold up her sunglasses. She talked and talked but never listened. It did not matter what you said while she was catching her breath because she would pick right up where she left off. You may as well have been a fence post.

Rocquefort & the likes, probably. But I don't know what's so awful about it (and what are the "wings").

Buffalo wings.
You need to get on a plane to Philly so Pat and myself can take you out for an enormous plate of them.
They are one of the glories of modern life, I assure you.
