We're the weird AV geeks of the political world  
Greg from LI : 10/14/2016 1:11 pm : link
We know it, and we're comfortable with that. I mean, shit, do you think supporters of this party:



actually thinks we're the cool kids? Cmon, man.

Well, maybe Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch do, but only because they're trying to sell books.

and, no  
Greg from LI : 10/14/2016 1:13 pm : link
that's not me.

Assholes.

Will always love Nick Gillespie for how he destroyed Rachel Maddow on the HBO Bill Mahre show a few years ago.

The frowny face was actually just me poking fun at myself. I am more than happy with where I am in my political and social views. I've definitely changed in the past decade in how I view the world, and I believe that it was for the better. And I do love some good beer!

Understood. You’re a sharp guy so I imagine you arrived at your refurbished worldview via reason & due deliberation.

Fascinating developments in the world of political repositioning. Not always/necessarily good, either. I’ve alluded to this before: give up a little now or a lot later. The younger generation(s), for instance, feel cheated, are cynical, and are alarmingly willing to countenance a wild overcompensation by, say, septuagenarian political Santa Clauses (among others).

I won’t elaborate lest the site owner & his banhammer squad fuck my shit up.

This is a true and false statement. While not all officers lean left, proportionally, more officers lean left than enlisted.


I learned something new - officers are leftist(?) - I might call BS on this one.

Nobody is suggesting that Nassib or anyone else start in place of Eli. The mere mention of Eli struggling brings out the moronic commentary and hysteria from the lunatic fringe. Evidence is ample in this thread alone... cry me a river.


Your delusions the WCO is only for a mobile QB b/c the league figured it out are hilarious. Eli comes off back to back fantastic years and you actually stick your delusion.

My tears of laughter are dehydrating me. Please stop sharing your delusions before I need an IV.

that it takes a special type of gigantic douchebag to mock kids who suffer from a humiliating genetic disorder that caps their life expectancy to their mid20s (if they are lucky). why don't you post mocking pictures of kids dying of cancer while you are at it.

What competent football authority has ever lauded Eli Manning's ability to move well in the pocket? Eli is excellent at releasing the ball quickly to avoid contact, but when he holds onto the ball, he has balls batted down, fumbles makes Napoleon Dynamite look like Fred Astaire. Hell... Eli has fumbled several times just because he couldn't decide whether to slide, or wait for them to foam the runway.

maybe your brain cells were so mobile they rolled out your ear. Can't wait for the next theory. "The Giants need cheerleaders" oh, wait, you already shared that delusion too.
as Ronnie said  
Greg from LI : 10/14/2016 1:42 pm : link
While the pinko officers are a minority of the officer corps, the represent the vast majority of the commies in the services. You won't find many in the enlisted ranks, particularly as you look higher in the ranks.

Ben Mcadoo wont throw a challenge flag even if he has nothing to lose because he likes to win in everything he does. It's the competitor inside of him that drives him to behave in such a manner.

Maybe your peers aren't so much left leaners, but I've met many more officers than I originally assumed, who do lean left not only politically but socially as well. And this isn't just small groups in specific services.

Now I'm not saying that officers in general lean left, but a sizable number do. And compared to our enlisted counterparts, it is far greater proportionally.

And this is just my opinion based on my anecdotal experience, but I find those (military personnel) who do lean left more critical thinkers with more empathy than those leaning traditionally right. This is, by no means backed by any empirical evidence, but it's almost like those who fall into the traditional conservative service member stereotype seek path of least resistance when forming their opinions on various social and political issues. I know I'll get shit ton of hate for that, but that's what I've seen in my 18 years in the military (in one capacity or another).

Well, since when did the commies start becoming all inclusive? I thought they were about persecuting those who were different.

Of course they're inclusive. They don't discriminate - they persecute EVERYONE.

The Jennings thread on meeting with Cory Booker got deleted too. I saw a decent thread, with civil exchanges. Then the thread just vanished (I'm guessing in large part to not so wonderful contributions from Blackbeard)
damn, that's a shame

Now I'll never find out if Booker held a séance to consult with his old Newark pal T-Bone (RIP).

And I learned that it really takes a gigantic stupid fuck to not realize that picture was posted to show Greg what Progeria was.

Wouldn't you be better off just saving your misguided disdain for Eli?
I learned that Radar's opinion about the Bob Dylan thing...  
manh george : 10/15/2016 4:28 pm : link
triggered mild annoyance in me, just as his opinion on anything else does.

Is there a lifetime achievement award for annoyance? BBI should give one.
I also learned two more things...

1) I should never buy a Giants ticker from Montreal Man. I end up getting sick and ruining the whole weekend.

2) Workers at Jim Beam are on strike.

I've learned that these Friday threads used to be entertaining.

I learned that you got those amazining forearms from counting money ( I wish you well in retirement), it took me 2 years to adjust, steady income or not.

I've learned that radar knows more about football than 90% of the posters on this thread ( and 95% of posters on this board) but has no clue about Dylan's contribution to society as it has formed because of him ( and I'm more a street poet ( Springsteen) follower than a revolutionary). Fault me for being younger than needed or excessive use of parenthesis.

I've also learned, as a former bouncer and current resident of Wilmington, NC ( 40 minutes south of Camp LeJuene) that most Marines are complete assholes that need their ass kicked occasionally no matter the protection duty they are charged with.

Did I just end a sentence with a preposition?

Anytime Ronnie, or whatever your name is. I miss Kurt, have I mentioned I've slept with Kurt? Have you? NTTAWWT.
