  1. It’s just general observations, not really a debate, or even an actual conversation. But I’m done with it.
  2. That’s a rampant problem all throughout American political discourse. Everything is either/or, there is no allowance for nuance. I’ve certainly been guilty of it in the past, but I tend to be hyper aware of it these days.
  3. And then there’s me. A very liberal progressive type living in the heart of Red State America that sees and empathizes with both sides of the debate. 99.99% of gun owners are highly responsible and respectable people. But yes, gun violence and mass shooting are definitely a problem. I certainly have no solution, but I do recognize the problems. Do nothing and continue down this bloody path, do something and you’ll only affect the responsible owners since bad people will always be able to get guns. It’s an incredibly complicated problem with no easy solutions.
  4. Personal attacks are things like calling you a disgusting human being, no matter how true. Worst consequence: pissing the other person off. Threatening someone with a weapon is something that can land you in jail. Wee bit of difference between those two things. Not that I expect you to comprehend any of that.
  5. Yes, now it’s all so very UN-Paul-like. Gents, I guess we have our culprit.
  6. And now we blame all of this on Paul’s mental faculties. You are a truly disgusting human being.
  7. You and Jim can remain as tone deaf as you wish, but five posters here are telling you otherwise. How could that possibly be if in fact it were “ludicrous”.
  8. But doesn’t he have to check in here to see it?
  9. You’re free to have that opinion, but as worded it is indeed a threat. That’s not to say that was Jim’s intention. Just that when looking for the right words to convey his thoughts, he found all the wrong ones. If multiple people can read it the same way, well, then you’ve got fire.
  10. Did you see his statement? Not a whole lot of context needed there.
  11. Um, my response just now reading that thread was similar to yours. I’d advise Jim to be very careful when making comments like that on a public forum, because that could very well lead to a knock at the door. Very poorly worded, and in incredibly poor taste. Now it’s perfectly clear why Paul left.
  12. Eh, Paul can give as good as he gets. He is a cantankerous ol’ fuck. I’m sure he just needed a break, and will slip back in when he’s ready.
  13. Which is silly, of course, since the majority is usually opposed to their government. No matter the country.
  14. I didn’t even know he was gay. That really complicates life. I’ve witnessed it firsthand in my family. Anyone that still believes it is a “lifestyle choice” is a fucking imbecile.
  15. He was staunchly opposed to the Israeli government. He had nothing against Jewish people to my knowledge.
  16. 48, less than a month away from 49. And she didn’t lure me in with her body. My first exposure to her was the video for Bad Romance. I actually found her to be a bit of an ugly duckling, but thought the song was fantastic. So if she was actually trying to be sexually alluring, it definitely wasn’t working for me, but the talent was glaringly obvious. So for years I kind of admired her from a distance, but when Joanne was released I was all the way in. And then her turn in A Star Is Born showed what a great actress she is, and how downright beautiful she really is.
  17. All fair enough. Can you explain the Gaga phenomenon? The cats that got me to even pay attention to her were my age or older. I don’t care about “real time” or “baselines”, I just want to know what the fuck you really think is going on. Because while I don’t subscribe to your notion of what “drives” pop culture, I’m at least open to what you have to say. God help me...
  18. So, the second largest demographic for GOT is 30-44y.o. Can they speak with any relevance? Point being, pop culture may be largely driven by a younger demographic, but there is a lot of help involved.
  19. Is Game of Thrones part of pop culture?
  20. Awesome! Looks like he’s having the time of his life.
  21. He did seem very unhappy, and I’m sure he had legitimate reasons. He rage quit both here and JC, and at his age that seemed a bit off. I’m sure he was a good dude, but he seemed to be dealing with stronger demons than most.
