I hate to over use the word but come on, they're just so weird.

If I'm being honest, I don't really feel like going back and forth anymore, it's pointless. You're free to think I'm wrong, I think you came across poorly and are wrong too.

Neither one of us are going to change our minds and we've decended into responses with cut quotes and countless questions. Things like "I didn't call them a drone I said they'd act like one." It's silly. There's really no point in either one of us going back and forth, to do what? Are you really open to the idea that the war in the Ukraine is important, it doesn't seem like it, and me spending time writing up response after response just wastes my time writing it and your time reading it.

I hope you're well man.

You've been trying? Your initial rant seemed very targeted at people and insulting, with plenty of name calling.

You've been disrespecting people from the jump, saying only like 4 people will be able to understand you. You reject the idea that you might be wrong and that other people might have a point. You simply dismiss and attack people who disagree with you. You've had chances to prove your point and didn't, at all, you just attacked people.

Also saying you don't care what's happens in Ukraine is just heartless on a human level. If you don't care if a country gets invaded and their people raped and murdered, well it seems like you don't have any morals. You can say we should support them with money or weapons, I disagree but I can understand that stance. Saying you don't care if they win it's some cold shit.

But regardless, when you enter the conversation saying people won't be able you because they don't get it and attacking groups of people, you don't really have a lot of room to complain about people being disrespectful. You called people who might disagree with you "parrots" and "drones" and here you are talking about disrespect? Then you edited it and called people fragile, just doubling down on the insults. For a guy so upset that people are attacking him for a different opinion, you are did come out of the gate attacking anyone who might disagree with you. Get the fuck out of here with this victim bs.

And he had all that before he got all this bad news about his only chance to avoid accountability.

Trying to take the high road after being a pretty awful jerk to people is a bold move. Either way, it's not an attack, it's the reality of whatever that was.

I'm all about opposing opinions they just need to have, ya know, a single coherent thought in them. Just because I don't want to here some cry/rambling nonsense doesn't make me close minded, it shows in value my time lol.

This isn't an opinion it's word vomit lol

Ok bud, you really showed me.

Sounds like a guy who thinks you need a license to buy a loaf of bread.

You... I don't even know where to begin. You don't understand how inflation works or how things on the other side of the world can impact us due to a global economy. You should care if Ukraine wins, because burying our head in the sand and carrying about only the US means we're left to feel the impact of global events were not engaging in.

Ok Grandpa, let's get to bed.

 

It wouldn't be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?
