    i hate to be that person. that a**hole. but i would LOVEEEE to know what posters here and what kind of person they actually are.

    How many books do you read per year? How many total in your life?
    Where do you get your news? Depending on that answer, do you know who funds that spigot of "info"? Does a billionaire fund your propaganda?
    What is your education level?
    What kind of relationship do you have with your children?
    Have you ever cheated on someone that you have said i love you to? How many times?
    Have you ever been arrested and if so for what?
    What is your body fat %? What is your resting heart rate? How much can you bench/squat/overhead press/deadlift, relative to your age?
    How much of tip % do leave when going out to dinner?
    Do you drive while intoxicated?
    When did you last change your mind on something after receiving contradictory stats or objective data?
    Have you ever shared an article on here without reading any of the article and only the headline?
    Can you at least change a tire or car battery easily?
    Can you measure wood and cut it to the desired dimension? (This is one i would suck bad at, i would love to be able to build my own bookcase)

    Let's see some of these stats next to these all mighty posters. For example this video above from salvy about someone being a beta male. Let's see your stats buddy.

    ;)

    So depending on my "stats" you are more likely to do what? "Get" me? Understand my thinking? Or just critize me?

    I hope that’s it. I’d never let that **** slide. Even if I can’t hurt them, I’d never in a million years support someone who said those things about my wife. If it’s not a marriage in name only then he’s the little b**** I suspect he is.

    i mean not you. Just generally. Although YOU JUST posted something about a "beta male" well ok then. Let's see how much of a "man" you are. I am speaking more generally to someone who posts about trans people. Or would vote so gay individuals can no longer marry. Well how good of a person are you? Are you a POS?

    I just like the hypocrisy of it all. Nothing more.

    I can understand the annoyance of woke stuff blah blah blah. It can be insufferable. Even though it's a backlash against racisim sexism etc that still exists. Ok sure it can be annoying in many different ways when going overboard.

    The thing is i could never support a party that is is racist and homophobic. Get the good ideas you have; detach from the repulsive people. You can't do that though because that is a decent swath of the (R) electorate.

    But thinking more of surface level if you, or again more generally someone that is in there 40-50's that was never racist. Has worked all their lives but doesnt have much. See's the black lady at the store with the snap card. And bam the racist stuff slips in because of all of the obvious reasons. Then you are more ok with a party that supports the stuff it supports. Even though they NEVER would have as a teenager or 20 something. But life is hard right?

    I can add another "stat": have you ever vocalized a racist comment to a friend or family member?

    I know damn well i haven't besides jokes to friends or girlfriends' faces through my life. I promise some very posters on here have. Have you i don't know. But I think it's some evil sh*t.

    Aight, Ill actually play. With all due respect, not because I have anything to prove to you or anyone in this forum but for the sake of discourse in our country.

    I didn't graduate, I don't have a diploma. I tried different things but couldn't get passionate enough behind anything to finish a career.

    Got a halfway decent job with a firm on real estate matters and years after launched my own company. Was successful enough to rent office space and even hire employees. Years later I decided real estate was a good back up career in the event my co. for whatever reason shut down. Covid happened and now I'm a full time realtor.

    On top I manage several properties and mostly work on the investment side, purchase homes via MLS or foreclosures... Rehab and sell..... Rinse and repeat. I felt like I could do things better than some of my workers so years back I learned how to tile, drywall, paint. I'm pretty much a contractor now, I enjoy the labor thou. I feel relaxed doing some of the remodel work, maybe because I don't depend on it as a career or job. I'd be able to build your bookcase in a day and professionally paint it the next.

    I've done engine swaps, transmissions swaps, turbo upgrades, intercoolers you name it... My first car was a Supra, that thing broke down nearly every day so I learned how to fix it because I couldn't pay anyone to.

    Never been arrested, never cheated, don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs.

    I don't know my body fat, but if your hinting at me being overweight then nope.... I could be better but far from being fat, I've done CrossFit until I realized how dangerous it is but love free weight training. Got into that for a while.

    No kids, hoping to get married soon. But am I racist? I'd say no. I think its more evil to not call out certain behaviors and cultural deficiencies because we may offend others. I do think there is a place for abortions and I sincerely don't care if two dudes love each other. I don't agree with it because I am Christian but sin is sin. They sin I sin. I'm no better, we all deal with things.

    I don't know, there were alot of questions..... I don't want this post to drag on longer. Way too long already. Your turn.....
