Why TBN isn't as enjoyable anymore

[the old grind]

Who are we quoting? (Author by name, or a committee that translated from a committee?)

First amendment says you can quote Joseph Goebbels. That doesn't mean you should do so everywhere.

You can also quote Sylvia Plath or Ayn Rand right here.

(The Iliad, Beowolf, and Don Quixote are as factually vetted as some devotional texts.)

Quote Frederick Douglas for once and make the forum more enjoyable, why don't ya!

But I dont know what a (overt) is and my ax has been dull for the past 50 years and now the handle is broke... In other words I just want to say hi, I sort of miss our contrary discussions of long ago, hope your dong well.

Doing well. Thank God we are still busy working. (can I say that) ???? I miss the discussions as well. We believe in the same thing, just from different points of view.

填rban dwellers?.(dog whistle much?)..背ho are trying to tear down society..納/QUOTE]

?Urban dwellers?..(dog whistle much?)..?who are trying to tear down society..?
Noticed that too. Kinda ironic in a "why can't we all get along?" post. I didn't interpret it as racist but more like trying to perpetuate the social warfare that "leaders" have invented for us to fight about.

Yes, I used the words urban dwellers to describe the people who are rioting, looting and destruction because I could not think of a more pleasant term to use and most of the violence is in urban areas. What do you think is a more "proper" word to use to describe those who are doing the rioting, looting and destruction? Perhaps I should have said underprivileged people who are doing their best to recreate the type of society that most benefits them.

For the majority of them...the term "misguided souls" is as good of a description there is...few if any can actually think for themselves...it's so typical with today's younger generations...what school children are being taught these days is a complete disgrace to reality...!

They are criminals. The Arsonists, Vandals and Looters need to be arrested and prosecuted.

MLK jr. said some time around 1966..."A riot is the language of the unheard".

No offense to anyone but mkl jr. was not even close to being the person he is made out to have been...most would feel like puking if the real truth was known and believed...!

The sad thing about the African American race/community is the fact that they are mostly ignorant of who their real heroes are or should be...and how those values are determined...!

Why isn't the internet fun anymore? It's 2020 and everybody is pissed off about one thing or another and the internet is our easiest and most accessible social outlet where you can be as blunt as you want. Also IMO there are plenty of tractor guys who have no filter, so to speak... sometimes that rubs people the wrong way.

I've kind thought about new models for moderation that could reward the good and purge the not so good with some degree of accuracy... let me know if you have suggestions for something like that outside of just more moderation.
