Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You’ve done a heck of a lot of ridiculing here for a newcomer.

Take a step back and think twice about accusing conservatives of voting for Hillary because they have a different view on things than you do.

That’s verboten here, in case you’re too new to know that.

"If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck..." then it might be you acting like a Trump hater.
I'm attempting to sew calm in a sea of panic and you ridicule me for it.  That's typical of the hateful, petty left.
Your experience here is not serving you well.    Don't lecture me on what is or is not "verboten".  When is the last time they banned anyone for being petty and hateful and vulgar as so many others have been?  I have yet to see the first.

If you think that I’m “ridiculing” you, you are the most easily bruised Briefer I’ve encountered in 8 years here.   :laugh:

But since you clearly are unaware of the long standing rule here, accusing someone who disagrees with you of being a “Hillary supporter” IS against the rules.

Now I would suggest that since your ego is easily bruised that you get a thicker skin or take some time off this forum that encourages independent thought and spend your time on one that encourages groupthink only.

You’ll be happier there....


Edited to add: you must be terribly disappointed in Trump these days since he actually IS taking this pandemic seriously.....

Maybe you should write him a letter accusing him of voting for Hillary!  :silly:

Is there a rule here against accusing someone who actually agrees with you as being a "liberal"?  Asking for a friend.

I have no idea......

I have noticed that this issue has divided folks differently than pro or anti-Trump.

There are people from across the Trump spectrum who are on opposite sides of how serious this pandemic is, and how it should be treated.

Been kinda fascinating to observe...

I would not say it's a hard and fast "rule," but when I see people doing it, it throws more than one straw up on that troll camel's back.

I don't like it, it makes me unhappy, and nobody likes me when I get unhappy.

I have never seen so much foolishness and cowardice on display anywhere in my life. The local grocery store has been out of stuff like bread,milk,water,paper towels,eggs,and toilet paper by early afternoon the last 3 days  in my local grocery store.

Went for an appointment with my cancer doc yesterday,and damned if there weren't nurses out in the hallway asking patients with appointments if they had been feeling bad or sick,if they had fevers,and if they were feeling bad.

When they asked me if I was feeling bad,I told them "I feel just peachy-keen. The only reason I even
left the house today was the neekid wimmins had already gone,and I was bored." Despite this they still gave me a paper mask to wear.

What are the odds of cancer patients visiting their doctors NOT feeling bad?

I even saw a news report on my local tv that showed people in cars lined up waiting for a open parking
spot at a gunstore so they could go in and buy a gun and/or ammo.I even saw a news report on my local tv that showed people in cars lined up waiting for a open parking
spot at a gunstore so they could go in and buy a gun and/or ammo. These are adult human beings living in a city somewhere who have just suddenly decided they want/need a gun,so are there to buy a new cammo AR-15. Or at least that is what one guy they ‌interviewed proudly showed them.

Want to know WHO shouldn't be allowed to buy a firearm today? Anybody that is an adult and has never owned a gun before. 

 Combined with the panic and fear,it is almost a certainty that innocent people are going to be shot to death by people with ZERO confrontational experience in the next week or so.

The only people at risk from the virus are geezers like me who are already weak from some illness,yet young adults who SHOULD know better are in a full-tilet panic.

I never thought I would live long enough to see America population by cowards.

I told the assistant manager at Publix today that they needed to quadruple the price of toilet paper just to stop people from hoarding it.  She said, "We can't do that."  I asked, "Why not?"

At the current price, supply is not meeting demand.   Raise the price, and supply will increase while demand decreases.  It is Econ 101.  But everyone is too damn afraid to offend anyone with higher prices, but they have no problem selling their entire stock every other day in a matter of minutes while people by nineteen packs of toilet paper just because the supply happens to be there  at that moment and price is too good to pass up.  Heck, we may even get some toilet paper smugglers sneaking it out of neighboring states to take advantage of the higher price here.
