| One thing I learned about Fort Benning was not to leave Fort Benning. Army forts used to be surrounded by hostile Indians and now it seems they're surrounded by ignorant rednecks with badges and guns. I wonder how much of a winning, bipartisan issue wholesale police reform would be. There’s an incr... |

And that’s the universal problem. Decent people like you and me and most of us here wouldn’t put up with the daily BS politicians deal with. And that’s why we get the cretins we get. |

It’s an obfuscation of an argument. We can’t listen to these people because they use the same polluting technology as the rest of us. So what?
Again, what does the fact the activists fly in planes and drive cars have to do with anything? |

| And here’s the same old BS argument. Apparently you can only advocate for saving the environment if you live in a Yurt and shit in the woods with the bears. |

| OK let's get real here. The kid smacked him on the back of the head with a egg. IIRC, that's not too different from when Ralph Klein got a pie in the face some years ago. It's free speech (barely), not political violence. And FWIW, this is how a politician properly responds to getting egged: https&#... |

| They think the rules don’t apply to them. Or that no one will notice. Maybe it’s a minor infraction and council will let it slide. For example, In my condo, we have a one cat or dog pet policy. For a long time we had an owner two of the most vicious chihuahuas I’ve ever seen but it was allowed to go... |

| The attacker fancies himself some sort of Communist/Libertarian with textbook socialist leanings as seen in his use of neo-fascist symbolism that highlights pillars of socialist ideology. He is also quoted as having conducted the attack with firearms to inspire the left in the USA to try to overtur... |

Almost always a 'board member' whose particular unit has a shit ton (metric) of deficiencies. Believe it or not, I'm on the strata council of my condo, and in my limited ... |

| The criticisms have nothing to do with MRAs. The fan critics (not the Media monopoly paid critics) are fans who grew up with Marvel comic books, movies, and beyond. They were fans of Ripley and Sarah Connors, The Bride in Kill Bill and possible even Buffy the Vampire slayer. They wanted a Black Wid... |
