Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:Don't you use guydar? Oh, right...
Quote:Yes, he took Crimea entirely by manly force. Well, that and Crimea was a swooning maiden who (nevertheless) leapt many feet towards him before gratefully falling into his arms.

Quote:Are you saying I'm only seeing myself in Putin? Boy, that needs clarity. Do you see yourself in Putin? *worried* Projection? Do you mean "opinion?" This all started when you asked for our opinions, remember?
Quote:On a personal note...you are simply and without peer, the most conceited and condescending person on this site (or any other than I've been on). You think no one else can see the same things you do which are in fact, so bloody obvious to many of us that the idea of running around and proclaiming them like we are the first or only one to think of them, would be too pretentious, and honestly; too without class to do so.
Quote:You constantly lecture, belittle, talk down to... I wonder who the hell you are talking to half the time,
Quote:and the other half I wonder who you think frequents this site. You must think everyone else here is a complete moron, or unless we brag and boast we must not be very bright. Does that make you feel smarter? To think less of others? Ironically, what you are doing is exercising very limited imagination.

Quote:I come here looking for someone to change my mind. Since I've thought about things and discussed things rigorously elsewhere, and I know quite a number of people offline who're a helluva lot smarter than I am... people who've lived in multiple conflict nations, who know many languages, who've done more and thought more than almost anyone from the USA... it will take a novel, tight, or insightful argument to knock one of my ideas out of the arena. But -believe it or not - many posters have. The list would be too long to mention, but FREM, KIKI, BYTE, MAGONS, CHRIS, TONY, MAL4, and HKCAVALIER have all said things that have really stayed with me and changed my views. It is still the most free-thinking diverse website I've ever been on. That prolly doesn't come thru in how I post; I will try to be more respectful for those posters who deserve respect, and silent for those posters who don't. Maybe you should do the same.

Like the many other phrases and words scattered through your mind, you have absolutely no idea what it is. Let's start with something simple: The definition. I'll bet you can't provide a definition for the word "fascism". You'll bail out of this thread, just like you bailed out of the thread where I asked you to define the word "freedom". It's a pity you spend so much time talking about - and being yanked by- words that you can't even define. Because examining what's in that brain of yours? Why, it might cause you to think, and what a horror THAT would be!

A fascist is someone who doesn't agree with you. "When your heart breaks, you choose what to fill the cracks with. Love or hate. But hate won't ever heal. Only love can do that."

Quote:Of course, you insulting the intelligence, understanding, motives, and general existence of anyone who deigns to disagree with your carved-in-adamantium mindset and responds with differing opinions isn't lashing out at all.
Quote:It's obviously not at all detailed, mostly my best guess based on his man stink (guydar). It's my impression of him over the years from speeches, opinions of others, his actions and one of his shirtless photos. Edited to remove snark.
Quote:So, your impression. Guydar! Okie dokie!* *Not edited to remove snark.
Quote:All you've done is fill post after post with your rather fervid imagination about this manly-man who eats nations for breakfast. Since you filled a lot of posts with imagination, here's mine: Your description of Putin sounds a lot more like Bush to me, or at least how Bush would like to imagine himself. Yanno- John Wayne, clearing brush and riding a horse on his manly ranch in Texas. And then there's Obama... personally defensive and senstitive to being "dissed". Between the two of them, with designs on the whole world, a clusterfuck not just waiting to happen, but actually happening!
Quote:"post after post" "fervid imagination" "filled a lot of posts" eh, wtf? Like 2 posts with some irreverent descriptions of Putin...someone's a might over techy. I apologize - I will use less imagination from now on.

Quote:You can skip past the man(woman)-on-the-street interviews, but you need to look specifically at 1:00-4:30 9:45-12:00 19:00-21:00 23:25-27:40 (interviews of people dragged off buses and beaten) Pay close attention to who is aggressing.
