It's hard to imagine that you can be serious. You're just trying to wind me up, and you're doing it unintelligently, granted though to the best of your apparent capacity while russian around.

Anything negative about the Republicans/bubblefart is hilarious.

Pointless/ internet form. Tautology isn't it?
More constructive to manage anger by , say, shooting a few republican congressmen, yeah?

Are you denying the violence? Is the connectivity I've described far fetched?
It may not be soothing, but it's quite satisfying to imagine each bubble to be the head of a telemarketer as you squeeze it into oblivion.Toulon's Not Toulouse wrote:I like to pop bubble-wrap myself.

It's certainly soothing to contemplate that bubble farting left wing pacifists everywhere, albeit secretly, must be united in their angst and disgust at one of their own attempting to mass murder elected officials.Toulon's Not Toulouse wrote:I like to pop bubble-wrap myself.

You almost have to admire that level of pigheadedness.

Obviously.
Bolllock, how's about you go scrub your bum with a toothbrush and this enjoy the simultaneous benefit of polishing your butthoused intellect. Burying your brain in your butt might allow you to enjoy non stop fantasies about Russians, butt it doesn't mean left wing violence isn't of grave concern, even if the superb Breitbart and my "blog", whatever that is, is the only place you'll be able to read about that.Bullettyme wrote:Hows about this.
You stop reading stuff that is obviously outraging you, and you have obviously discounted as having no intellectual merit or worth, and stick to Breitbart, Drudge Report and Zerohedge and all those other sites that reinforce your views. It might stop you complaining like a little girl. Or you could write about it on your wingnut blog.
You're not really interested in having a conversation about any of that, if you're honest. You're only interested in hearing about things that correlate with your views. I'm sure the "superb" Breitbart will provide enough of an echo chamber for you.Spinbad wrote:Bolllock, how's about you go scrub your bum with a toothbrush and this enjoy the simultaneous benefit of polishing your butthoused intellect.

I think you'd be better off writing an angry letter of complaint to the offending publication. Or starting a youtube channel where you can rant to a receptive audience and attempt to influence opinion and public discourse. This seems futile.Spinbad wrote:henry wrote:I'm so mad I could post something pointless on an internet forum. Arghhhhh....

Yes it is. No discussion allowed here. You can't even mention the US President's name without getting farted on.This seems futile.

So is it "left wing violence" we're angry about? Or is it people focusing on the Russia stuff? Or is it people being mean to bubblefart? Or is it celebrities? Or is it that nobody is really taking you seriously?
I think the easy availability of automatic weapons is an issue. I think the divisive politics, across the bored is an issue. I think angry rhetoric and false promises are an issue. I think mental health care is an issue. Not sure satire and the media are up there tbh - although you seem the sort that might blame music and video games too.Spinbad wrote:11.

put enough guns within easy reach of enough nutters and this stuff will happen over and over. Itll happen from time to time in a country with a grown up approach to guns because nutters are nutters
keep doing nothing to curtail it and itll still happen

It's certainly arguable that satire and media coverage aren't a factor in the violence, though it seems strange to separate "angry rhetoric" from those.henry wrote:I think the easy availability of automatic weapons is an issue.

You do realise that Nixon didn't resign because some blokes broke into a hotel don't you? Just like Ken Starr didn't spend all his time investigating some splooge on a dress!Spinbad wrote:Except that "Russia" is not really a story.
