Tenhigh Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 What do you get out of finding articles or tweets that you know heavily skew the truth, and posting them here as facts? Do you like demonizing people who have different opinions and values, while acting like your personal position has no faults? What's in it for you? Is it the need to feel better than someone else? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'll respond. I think some people never grew up. They find all of that stuff funny in an odd sort of way. I'm sure you knew them in school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I think for many it is justification for staying somewhere that is crappy. I moved and would move again if I lived someplace that was not great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governor Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 The real reason? It’s Republican guilt. They know they’ve misbehaved terribly and the only thing that makes them feel better is pretending to be a victim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 10 minutes ago, Tenhigh said: None of the above. As I have mentioned several times over the past ten years of posting here, I mostly only post from conservative sites, because it is painfully obvious that a majority of left-leaning PPP'ers here are seldom if ever exposed to opposing viewpoints. You can tell that by their near-hysterical reactions. It does NOT mean that endorse every word, sadly that is too difficult a concept for the usual suspects here. Occasionally, something presented turns out not to true, as with the Kamala/book story that Billzy correctly called me on., but mostly they are opinion pieces that many here should read and consider. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was terrible behavior when we weren't starting wars, and everyone was employed. That was the WORST! We can't let that happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them know that they cannot make it in an open and free society. So they have to fantasize about being commissars in a 20th Century Eastern European closed communist country. They make no issue about wanting to control you in terms of the food that you eat or your choice of transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillStime Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 When I joined this message board, I pretty much got my daily Buffalo Bills fill from the Stadium Wall and moved on with my day. I would take peek at PPP and fought off temptation to get involved as I couldn't believe how one sided, hypocritical and conspiratorial it was... @Deranged Rhino was the queen bee and pretty much fell over backwards defending, deflecting and squashing ANY criticism of Trump. I tried to keep my distance but I caved. It was time to have some fun... It was quite clear that most of his lemmings here get their news from the queen bee himself, Q, Flynn, Britebart, OANN, Newsmax, Fox News and other deranged sources. So, I came in strong and decided to piss all over their sugar coated Trump news with countering sources. I knew I wasn't going to be popular... but I also wasn't going to be silenced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d hopeful some day the lightbulb goes on for the blind faith party disciples that both parties do all the same corrupt disingenuous stuff and intentionally divide us with extremes. There’s not nearly enough debate about positions here. Seems like People pick a political party first who then tells them their position on every issue. I also like to hear what the extremes say and are thinking. It’s the same reason I dislike Twitters banning. Extremists in an echo chamber are not good. I assume that’s what that alternate site is now. I like to know just how crazy the crazy’s are. I also regularly read Bloomberg AP and daily wire and watch CNN and Fox. Because they are all biased.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Everyone is shaped by their experiences and aided/hurt by their ability to see the other side of an argument. The internet game smothers intelligent discourse in many cases, and we make judgements accordingly. For example, in Billzys comments above, his stated goal is 'to piss all over their sugar coated Trump stories...' while maintaining a somewhat unhealthy (my opinion) obsession with @Deranged Rhino--a guy I personally find quite engaging. So, Billzy thinks he's crazy, I think he's engaging, it's a push. Be that as it may, it's impossible for me to drudge up the energy to ever want to squeeze out some lemon juice on someone else plate of Keeblers. Mostly I'm just here for the chicks I guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I don’t have any concept as to what it means to “stand up” to an internet poster. It’s not tangible, it’s not a thing, it’s a mirage and some back story you’ve created for some reason you yourself may not even know. When I first dipped my toe in PPP posting, one poster in particular took issue with something I wrote. He had a definite style to his prose, seemed wound right to me, and I really thought he was joking. I replied with something dumb. He then told me that when some of the others were around, I was going to be in a “Lulz storm” (I think that was it) and it was like I was being threatened by the internet version of Paulie Walnuts. He seems quite sincere but nothing ever came of it, mostly because what could come of it? Harsh words? DR no longer posts here, this is true as far as I know, and I don’t speak for him, but I’d think he probably hasn’t thought of you in the months since he left. Good dude, das Rhino. Put the yearbook away man. Too much anger and pissing on stuff makes for a long, tiring and smelly day for us all.
