    I notice that when you don't have any cognizant counter points to someone's post you disagree with you just toss the table and claim the other person is mentally sick or something. It's becoming repetitive at this point. Try something else.

    American citizens have a long history of criticizing the country and being upset at the direction the country is going. That's part of what makes us a free democratic nation. A US government shouldn't abandon its citizens because they criticize it. Because that would violate the 1st amendment.

    Said nothing about mental health. I support helping anyone who is experiencing that. You have severe mood swings. I researched it when I was trying to help the juice. You either have CTE or a substance abuse issue. You need help too. Doesn't have to be me. Just talk to someone

    Well, you had no point so I'm not doing much of anything in this conversation unless you take my advice. Even if passive aggressively you do that I'll be happy

    She said the national anthem should not be played during the WNBA season following the George Floyd killing, and she cowrote an op-ed against a Texas bathroom bill. These were the "prominent" examples of "religious zeolotry believed and practiced by leftists". So, not political at all ... :rolleyes:

    Wait you sincerely believe people think your advice is sincere rather than being a passive aggressive b****? Who on planet earth tells someone they need mental health services unsolicited that isn't being passive aggressive?

    Yes I typed sentences that had points. You can disagree with the points and explain why you disagree or you can toss the table and tell anyone you disagree with that they need mental health services.

    Don't play around with mental health. It shouldn't be a go to insult for a socially adjusted adult.

    Then don't write a letter for help. Don't do drugs in a foreign country. That's common sense. Isn't her asking for help she doesn't deserve political too in your context?

    I'm going to leave it here...I wasn't playing around with mental health. Ask the juice I genuinely tried to help him. I also think you have issues.

    The Juice asked for help explicitly telling people he had mental health issues. Hence it was solicited to return advice on mental health services.

    No one is sincere about giving advice in regards to mental health when it's unsolicited and is just a point used when someone is frustrated due to disagreement and not being able to express coherent counter points. You use mental health advice as an insult and not just a couple of times as many posters probably have done it a few times here or there. You do it routinely. It's your shtick by now.

    I just suggest finding a different angle for insults than telling people they are mentally ill or have PTSD or something. I don't expect you to actually address comments you disagree with actual sincere posts. That's fine. If you want to waste your time trolling that's on you. But I strongly suggest you to stop using mental health as an insult.

    Then we are disagreeing on what the word "political" means. I think I understand where you are coming from, even if I disagree with it.

    I think it's weird when people make it political because she has spoken out against gay rights, etc.. I wonder if those same people think Biden bashing, liberal bashing Republicans hate this country. Because you don't believe in hate, discrimination, etc...doesn't mean you hate our country. It means you believe in change from bigots, racists, etc ..making decisions and laws that affect those people's lives.

    As for playing ball in Russia she probably just loves basketball and it was a way to train in the off-season and make money. Women don't get filthy rich multi-million dollar deals as professionals, even if they are one of the ten best players in the world. They don't have the multimillion dollar cash cow handed to men who aren't even in the top 100 in their class.

    As for her crime, I would never be so stupid to carry anything into a suitcase to a country where it was illegal. It was a stupid mistake, a really stupid one. I sure as hell don't think what she did is nearly as bad as a lot of the stuff the big time criminals Trump pardoned did, when he let them out to help him with his coup though. Smoking some hash oil isn't even in the same ballpark.
