    Do you think it is improper to start a thread entitled,   'Can Anyone Help DR'?

     

    Not to dump it all here, but imo the guy is either:

     

    - being paid to post and control the narrative here; or

    - has become so invested that he has lost objectivity and reason; or

    - drug crazed; or

    - mentally damaged, perhaps from witnessing something traumatic, like Lisa Page's texts or altered 302's; or

    - actually mentally unstable and way beyond obsessive. 

     

    Is there a clinical disorder where the patient has developed such a fear of losing his 'followers' that he snaps?  DR seems to think that his congregation is not able to hear my words without his explanations.  I have become the devil to the ears/eyes of his followers around here apparently.  They need protecting for they are so impressionable.  Even his disciples must wonder a bit when the thought leader seems to have snapped. 

     

    Can anyone help DR?  Seriously?

     

     

    :lol:

     

    You suggest that someone else may be drug crazed?

     

    Bravo, sir. Bravo!

    Baltimore Will Have Bought-a-Less: The City’s Museum of Art Announces it Won’t Buy Any Works if They’re Made by Men

    If you’ve been wanting to appreciate art lately but’ve been deterred by the genitals of people creating it, take heart: In order to fight the patriarchy, the Baltimore Museum of Art has made a promise — in 2020, they will refuse to purchase any composition if it was made by a guy.

    That’s right: If you’re a male artist, your masterpiece won’t be welcome.

     

    Director Christopher Bedford told the Baltimore Sun this is how it’s done, son:

    “This is how you raise awareness and shift the identity of an institution. You don’t just purchase one painting by a female artist of color and hang it on the wall next to a painting by Mark Rothko. To rectify centuries of imbalance, you have to do something radical.”

     

     

     

    :wallbash:

     

    Let's see what happens if the left continues to alienate male artists.

    F*** You piece of sh1t!

    Me and mine have shed blood for this country all the way back to the Revolution so puny little ***** like you are free to stay stupid ass sh1t like this. But having the freedom to act brave on the internet doesn't make you a man and doesn't shield you from consequences of the stupid ass sh1t you say.

    but your free to come and make me move

     

    Don't take the trolling seriously - the more you react, the more fun they have. They're only saying that stuff to get you worked up.

    Trump will not be removed from office by the Senate by what we know so far. The House democrats are just getting info to the voters and maybe some deterrence for future conduct . Listen to the council  of good lawyers not Rudy.

     

    What you call "info", I call propaganda. Every single accusation, every single charge made against Trump from day one has been shown to be false, designed purely to keep a continuous stream of manufactured outrage in the press and social media.

     

    You have to be either a blind partisan or a numbskull to think otherwise.

    Greta Thunrburg has serious issues.  As in "She's going to develop a slew of affective disorders and kill herself by age 30" issues.  

     

    I don't hate her.  I pity her.  I hate the adults in her life who are doing this to her.

     

    Get them while they're still young, and their minds are more pliable. Isn't this how they created the Hitler youth? It's beyond shameful to do this to children.

    who watches TV in all seriousness to the point where they’d complain about an ad?

     

     

     

     

    Because ads (supposedly) reflect at least a portion of the consumer demographic; ie a large amount of people. Folks like you or I may think this crap isn't worth a second of serious consideration, but I think we should remember that all ads, even the completely idiotic ones, have been focus grouped and deemed legitimate for public consumption.

    Nickels are better.  

     

    You guys are idiots, you know that?  I have to explain to you how to properly beat me over the head?  

     

    If I was to hit you over the head, it would be with a rubber chicken and only after I donned a suit of medieval plate armor. 

     

    Because I'm old school.

    Someone's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes and beat Tom over the head with them. 

     

    And I love the fact that shitload is not censored.  

     

     

    I was going to reply with the "shitload of dimes" quote too, but you beat me to it. :lol:

    Well my post was joking, but when not all that funny, that is tough to tell I guess.  If Bloomberg and Putin extended the number of legal terms then, yes, like that. 

     

    I sure hope no one is looking to increase terms.  I am of the opinion that limiting terms for all politicians may be a better course.  If pols weren't so concerned with their re-elections we might get far more honest government.  As it is today, pols are too beholding to party and way too beholding to donors, imo.

     

    No need to worry about that - 22nd amendment is what limits the president to two terms. It would take another constitutional amendment to change that.

     

    I'd guess that the majority here would agree with you regarding term limits for all elected officials. :thumbsup:

    My main argument is what are you going to do about student debt that is weighing down tens of millions of people economically due to a complete failure of the systems that were around them at a young age? Do you continue to have people being economically limited because of decisions made at a young age they weren't properly informed on? 

     

    Do you allow them to default on debt but ***** up their credit thus limiting their economic prospects for a long time and still costing the tax payers a lot of money? Or do you do a universal bailout funded by a Wall Street Speculation tax that wouldn't impact most Americans and solves issues with trading? The status quo is not sustainable in my opinion and dragging down the economy. 

     

    You have two issues when it comes to higher education. One is what to do with the past loan recipients and how do you avoid a bubble in the future? You can make many arguments about how to finance college and educate students properly about that decision. However I don't see a solution better than universal debt forgiveness in regards to how to deal with the issues of those currently saddled with loans. 

     

    I didn't make any conflicting statements nor backtracking. I intended a statement to apply to one context and you are choosing to apply that universally and to its most extreme measure. Thus taking what I said out of its intended context.

     

    I don't mean to take you out of context, I just think you're looking at the issue in too narrow a fashion, but let's set that aside for now. Why do we have to choose between allowing them to (not making them) default and saddling Wall street with the burden? Why can't we structure these loans so that students have longer to pay them back? I don't see why we can't help students pay for quality education while holding them accountable for themselves.
