Didn’t he threaten other students, threaten to shoot up the school, require dozens of police visits to his house, and cause at least two reports to the FBI that he was dangerous, about to snap, and likely to shoot up a school? Not at all the same. I’m not defending the racist stooge on that video...far from it. But you can’t kick someone out of school because you think he’s a scummy bigot. Link to comment
The Finger Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just got back and see I have @ 25+ messages, many likes/up votes, lots of trolling and antagonistic replies, aaaaaaand the warning posted below. But, hell, I've only been here a few hours. My goal here was strait forward - to nudge those in their comfort zone, out of that zone to take on some differing perspectives. Everything I posted I stand behind. I don't post conspiracies or frequent such sites. All of D.C. knows the Promise program is real. Every school district knows that when a directive is set in a public school system from the president, it becomes 'the law'. Is the argument, or lack there of, that this program as I described, inexistent? Seriously, who has proven that? And Hitler's quotes are as real, searchable, and as tangible as any facts ever get. They (should) serve as teachable commandments and as a warning for the world to never repeat. After being invited here by a friend, one whom I respect, who didn't vote for Trump, who isn't some left wing (or right wing) conspiracy nut, but is a solid 2nd amendment conservative, I signed up. I did so with the goal of nudging some people out of that comfort zone and to arm those, open minded enough, to prepare themselves in battling.... 'The Same'. "WHAT!? Things are different with this one, quick, attack it with a stick and kill it!" That's the reflex of the disease of homogeny, and while predictable and prototypical, it is not healthy. 'That Same' unrelenting, stale, evil, stagnation that is piloted (did you think I used the word 'plotted'? I didn't) by those who run our lives, and who claim to protect us and our children, which forces one to stay put and wait outside the school, even though armed. And to agree, and be agreeable. 'That Same' government leviathan in charge, forcing us to work to feed it, and now inside of every molecule of our lives for over 70 years. 'That Sameness' is growing exponentially, because make no mistake, 'That Sameness' is now spreading at light speed, in the internet and on social media and every human's mind over the age of three. And soon, that very 'Same' will autonomously drive you where "The Same" 'thinks' you need to go. And when. And how fast. And how often, or perhaps never. Because 'The Same' has deemed it. And will, in the next 50 years, become your life/sex/parent/child... partner. The blue pill. "Oh man, this is really different we hate this! HATE IT! BAN IT!" LOL - It's almost over. "Ordinary" lies only a few minutes away. The queasy uneasiness will soon be gone. But, this 'Same' is as destructive as any fascist movement. More so, because it is so seductively comfortable and is now intertwined in our social electronic "thought" process and flow. In everything we do. And all that we have become. Find yourselves impulsively 'thinking' something like the following? - "We are all one planet, one country, one city, one community, one person and now one mind - we are all 'The Same' - we must be - and will shame anyone who is not. No winners, no losers, no rich, no poor, no men, no women... ONE." I'm not talking about anarchy here or an internet "Obey" meme. I'm talking about homogeny of thought. Same, complacency, in the unspoken name, of the warm embrace of homogeny - it is the ubiquitous and infamous - Blue Pill . Take a look at the current president of the US - does he look 'Same' to you? "But he doesn't look sane either!" I know what you think, because you are told what to think. Resist and BE 'THE SAME', my once free thinking Americans. And so it's come to this, bottom line, if all this is perceived as "Trolling" here, then I am not the person to continue furthering any discussion on this site. Good luck, Huskers. Good luck, to you all. - THE FINGER Link to comment

Your arguments are based on misinformation, you can't discern the difference between Dear Colleague letters, MOUs and laws, and you present right-wing propaganda from Brietbart as fact - and you do so without citing your sources despite being told twice it is a board rule to do so, meaning you're either exceedingly lazy or willfully attempting to misinform. Either way, that disqualifies you from the self-appointed mantle of educator of the masses. 9 hours ago, The Finger said: "WHAT!? Things are different with this one, quick, attack it with a stick and kill it!" You're not different. You're the same as every other unthinking, propaganda-consuming conservative who's tried to post here, been presented with facts, then gotten angry when the facts don't fit their preconceived notions, take their ball and go home, pouting. Like literally every other emotion-based arguer, you wilt in the face of discussion and proclaim victimhood ("I'm being attacked!") when you are asked to do basic things like research, cite your sources, etc. 9 hours ago, The Finger said: "Oh man, this is really different we hate this! HATE IT! BAN IT!" LOL - It's almost over. "Ordinary" lies only a few minutes away. The queasy uneasiness will soon be gone. This is sad, because people of disparate views across the gun/political spectrum are calling you on your bulls#!t, but you know so little about this forum (or haven't bothered to learn in your other iterations) that you take all those disagreeing with your winger stance as one cohesive mass, when in reality you're being told you're wrong by conservatives, moderates, liberals, gun enthusiasts and 2nd Amendment opposers. That's a pretty wide range of people to lump together as "them," so kudos for representing the caricature of a right-winnger. What you describe as "ordinary" others would describe as rational. Once you're gone, of your volition or not, discourse will improve. People will once again more reasonably disagree, on a variety of subjects, armed with reason, fact, non-propaganda sources, and a willingness to engage in conversation and not simply shout into the wind. It's funny you think your presence has caused discomfort. I imagine you think you're some champion of the truth rising undefeated from the field. It's a common conceit of the unthinking, and it's interesting to see that yet another fly-by poster (if you're not, as zoogs opined, the same person trying over and over to matter in a discussion) makes this proclamation. But the reality is that nobody here is the least bit bothered by the likes of you. Why would they be, when it's too easy to poke holes in the fallacies you present as logic? No, what makes people here uneasy are the scores and scores of schoolchildren continuing to get gunned down by weapons that no civil society needs. What makes us uneasy is that we know it will happen again, and again, and again, and again, and again, because unthinking, uncaring, childish people cannot grow out of their need for something cool and shooty and thus block reasonable legislation that would, if not solve the problem, at least get us one step closer to curbing it. It is not you or your words on a screen that makes people uneasy, it is the ignorance they represent, and the surety of yet more murders to come. 9 hours ago, The Finger said: then I am not the person to continue furthering any discussion on this site. Oh, agreed. And if you had an ounce of sense, you would have realized you never were. But sense isn't in high supply these days, as you've so amply demonstrated. 9 hours ago, The Finger said: Good luck, Huskers. Good luck, to you all. Good luck to you, too. Here's hoping the lack of gun control you so vehemently espouse doesn't affect you, or your loved ones, or your town, or frankly anyone anymore. We could make that a much more solid certainty but, unfortunately, too many people would rather be roadblocks than paths to a solution. So in the meantime, here's hoping you and yours live a peaceful and uneventful life. Good day to you, sir. 11 Link to comment

Facts are neither liberal nor conservative, they are facts. Holding each other accountable for fact-based discussion, leaving emotion as far off the table as possible, is a hallmark of this site. It comes from conservatives, liberals and moderates alike, and it is absolutely the best way to handle difficult conversations. That you, and people like you, continue this plaint that "the board is liberal" while speaking at and with conservatives shows that you neither understand who you're talking to nor care to find out. Why? Because you're not interested in legitimate discussion, you're interested in having your opinion heard, and you don't care about the opinions of others. 11 Link to comment

Eventually all the other Hippos leave, and he thinks he’s won , when all he really did was make a disgusting mess that no one wants to be around . The OP of this thread kinda reminds me of that . Most amazing and ugly analogy I've ever read on HB! Not sure I can get that picture out of my mind. I'm ruined for life. 2 Link to comment
