Title: Thought Experiment
Post by T And T Garage on 10/28/18 at 10:44:46

Given this last week's horrific happenings, I think we all need to reflect on the realities of where we're at - both as a country and individually.

Individually, I think it's obvious.  Anyone can see that things are not going in the right direction.  With the mail bombs, the synagogue shooting and the basically unreported Kroger shooter - we're at a low point.  There seems to be more division than ever.  trump supporters are now doubting the legitimacy of everyone except trump.  Several were interviewed at a trump rally after the bomber was captured and still didn't believe he was guilty.  They commented that he may have been paid by the left wing - or that it's "fake news".  Look how far we've fallen..

But as a country, there seems to be an awakening.  People, as a whole, are now seeing the harsh reality of what their complacency has done.  It's brought us to where we are today.  For some time now, we've forgotten how far we'd come - past the bigotry, hate and isolationism.

We're at a turning point.  For better or worse, our country is more informed than at any time in its history.  But like the old saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."  With the explosion of social media and the sheer volume of information hitting everyone in their waking life, far too many have tuned it out.  Conversely, just as many have woven a cocoon for themselves and filled their life with positive affirmations of their own views. They know they're right because "everyone" thinks like they do.  

Fortunately, from what I've been seeing, that's beginning to change.  Many are realizing that the truth is simply the truth.  It's obvious to everyone that the hate in our country is responsible for the terror this week.  It's not "fake news".  It's real - almost too real.


Now, credit where credit is due.  ray called me out on another thread about how I've "come unhinged".  He's not entirely wrong in assuming that.  But it's not "coming unhinged" - it's me hammering the fact (even harder) that hypocrisy is probably the biggest problem we face in this country.  Hate is hate, bigotry is bigotry - there are no "good terrorists".  I have never condoned violence in any situation, nor will I ever defend it.  None of us can.  But I've seen far too much complacency towards it on this forum, and yes, it gets a little frustrating.  That's on me and no one else.  I'm happy to own up to it.  I just did.  I would hope that others do the same.  (and let's keep it real, we're talking about 8 or 10 people in total that do any kind of regular posting...)

So, after all this ranting, I'll finish it with a little thought experiment.

I'm sure you're all familiar with "It's a Wonderful Life".  When it first came out it wasn't really a hit.  I think I read somewhere that it was one of Frank Capra's least popular movies upon release.
But it didn't remain a sleeper.  As time went by, the story and the message caught on - and it's easy to see why.

Think about the story.  Think about the characters.  Think about why it speaks to so many people and is more popular today than ever.

I think sometimes we all forget how hard George works.  We know how he feels when he feels "left behind" by the likes of his friend Sam.  Like George, we forget what's really important in life.  Only after he sees an alternate reality does he come to appreciate and fight for his existence.

I think that's appropriate for where we're at now.  We can see the "warped, frustrated old man," and see that what he's trying to do to our lives.  George saw that no matter what, Mr. Potter couldn't take away his happiness.

We as a country are seeing that - we are better as a people, than our president is as an individual.  He can't change us.

We are better than that.

Which cannot be tt saying that.

Because tt, numerous times,

So it just cannot be tt.

Well, Unless, tt means ,

Title: Trump the blip we had to have.
Post by eau de sauvage on 10/28/18 at 23:11:48

Sorry to burst your Rainbow Unicorn Cocaine bubble, but that was not a thought experiment. A thought experiment is an actual experiment that could in principle be done in real life but for all practical concerns cannot be done.

TT, I hear you but you are not looking at the big picture. You can't see the forest for the trees, much less can you see further. This is why as an example climate change micro analysis is pointless, it's a long game, the real effects of what humans are doing to the only planet. It is unlikely (although we can never say never) that humans will find another planet to colonise, much less actually establish a viable colony. I don't want to argue this point because that would be pointless.

Now the point that I actually would like to get across to you is that if you step back a bit, you will see that Brexit, Donald Trump, Erdogan, ect, are a necessary evil. There will be a correction.

I see a much bigger picture still, I see the disenfranchisement and infantilisation of women as the only real problem facing the world because that is the a much more fundamental problem. Remember Koyaanisqatsi, the world is out of balance.

Trump is a necessary evil, a cartoon villain, we need this sort of exaggerated personification of everything that is wrong with the world to wake up. This is why David Lynch recently said that Trump is the best thing that has happened to America.

https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/david-lynch-trump-twin-peaks-greatest-presidents-room-to-dream-a8416486.html

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/26/trump-david-lynch-career-over-praise-presidency

Laughably Trump didn't see this, he just saw that he was called the greatest president and stopped reading and even if he kept reading he doesn't have the intellectual capacity to understand.

So chill out TT and remember like the stock market there are always bumps, and Trump is the blip we had to have. Not to be confused with the inflatable baby Trump, which was the blimp we had to have.

Have a listen to this TT, it's Alan Watts, I think you will enjoy it...

Mail bombs, synagogue and Kroger shooting....and now we're at the low point?!!!  Where were you when Congressman were shot on a ball field? Where were you when supporters of a Presidential candidate were being physically attacked?

The division is because for the first time, the peaceful transition of political power from one party to the next didn't  occur. You TT and your party refuse to accept the results of the last election. The MSM which has gone all in for one side refuses to accept the results.

Here's the deal, wars continue and tensions erupt until one side admits defeat and begins rebuilding. The Democrats lost. You lost the heart of America and instead of acknowledging that, you've decided to punish the voters by calling them every vile name you can think of.

You are hypocrisy personified. This is what you don't get, what you can't see. George Bailey is a modern day Republican. Conservative, patriotic, God fearing. You think George Bailey is going to scream and play dead so police can drag him out at a Supreme Court nomination hearing? You think George Bailey is going to chase Ted Cruz and his wife put of a restaurant? He would no more support a loon like Warren or Harris or Booker than the man on the moon.

You lost the heart of America. Listen to what they're saying or keep losing.

"George Bailey is a modern day Republican"

Wow... just wow.... so that makes Mr. Potter a dem?

Too funny mark.  Whatever it takes to help you sleep better.

George gives charity to the "garlic eaters", he "carelessly" spends money on a long distance call from his brother, He takes the blame when Billy loses the deposit.

You can honestly tell yourself that he's a "modern day republican"?

I don't think anyone besides you can see that.

You were the one who brought up George Bailey. So I ask again, you think that's who he was? You think he'd be okay with his party interrupting a moment of silence like they did in Tennessee at the Republican Senate candidate's meeting? Screaming and fake dying like idiots? This is who you think America is?....

OK mark, I'll play your game then... you think George would threaten Dr. Ford's life?  You think he'd mail bombs to his enemies?  You think he'd march in Charlotte with a torch?  You think he'd hold a rally and "wish he could punch that guy"?  You think he'd run as a nazi in Illinois?

Yeah, you use the worst examples of those on the extreme left - then I do the same with the right.

Nice try, but it don't fly.

The difference is you're okay with destroying Kavanaugh based on no evidence. You're okay with chasing Cruz and his wife out of a restaurant. You call that protesting. You're okay with fake die ins. You're okay with what went on in Tennessee last night.

You keep bring up that Nazi guy but you claim to be Mr. Hypocrisy guy right? Are you okay with one of your candidate's saying this?

Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza  #Palestine #Israel

The Nazi you refer to has been disowned by the Republican party and has zero chance of winning. Zero. You keep bringing him up as the ultimate red herring.

However, the woman who wrote the anti-Semitic quote above in 2012 is fully supported by the Democratic Party (you) and almost certainly going to win. Look at some of her quotes and replace the word Israel or Jew with black and tell me she wouldn't get run out of town.

Below is her response to someone who objected to her position.
First off; using the phrase apartheid and Israeli regime in the same sentence is concerning enough, but imagine for a moment she was a conservative Republican talking about BLM and said 'I pray to God you get the help.....

Drawing attention to the apartheid Israeli regime is far from hating Jews. You are a hateful sad man, I pray to Allah you get the help you need and find happiness.

Come on Mr. Hypocrisy.....

ted cruz pretty much deserves what he gets.  I wouldn't chase him out of a restaurant, I'd get up and leave.

I personally don't think Israel is worth the trouble.  And they have not by any means, "innocent".

The Nazi you refer to has been disowned by the Republican party and has zero chance of winning. Zero. You keep bringing him up as the ultimate red herring.

Yet, he identifies as republican as do the kkk, the white nationalists and several other racist hate groups.

She prays to Allah - so?  Have you seen what's happened in the Middle East?  You think Israel is innocent in all this?

Educated yourself on this mark.  There is a perverse relationship to the US and Israel.  It's not a healthy one at all and is based, in part, on the Bible.





But to get back to the original post - the above response from you is typical.  You tell me that George Bailey is a "modern day republican" and I counter with the same type of republican extremism that you convey and suddenly you switch gears.

Your frame of reference is off.  When are you and your cohorts going to see that the far left extremists are just that - far left extremists and don't represent the majority of the democratic party?

If you all continue to do this, we'll have no choice but to conclude that all republicans believe in everything the right wing extremists do.  It's your choice.

Again, the majority of America doesn't see it that way. That's why you are not existing in reality.

You call that protesting. You're okay with fake die ins. You're okay with what went on in Tennessee last night.

I'm cool with the First Amendment.

As usual, you didn't really answer. Again, you are okay with that. That makes you, as Claire McCaskill said, one of the crazy Democrats.

The Nazi you refer to has been disowned by the Republican party and has zero chance of winning. Zero. You keep bringing him up as the ultimate red herring.

Yet, he identifies as republican as do the kkk, the white nationalists and several other racist hate groups.

So what? That means nothing. So you get stuck with anyone identifying as a Democrat? Is that what you want? No.

Come on Mr. Hypocrisy.....

She prays to Allah - so?  Have you seen what's happened in the Middle East?  You think Israel is innocent in all this?

Educated yourself on this mark.  There is a perverse relationship to the US and Israel.  It's not a healthy one at all and is based, in part, on the Bible.

If I said a comparable comment let's say about the black community self destructing and them not being innocent in the plague of black on black crime, you'd call me a racist. So you're cool with me calling you anti-Semitic and by default, condoning the shooting in Pittsburg, right?

See what happens when  you think you're Mr. Hypocrisy but you're stuck in an alternate reality? You get backed into corners so you're only option is to ignore charges against you.

From Snopes...

Quote:
"during an appearance in New Mexico on Memorial Day in 2008, Barack Obama made reference to an uncle of his “who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps.” Critics quickly pointed out that such a circumstance was impossible (primarily because Auschwitz was liberated by Soviet forces, not American troops) and similarly accused Senator Obama of telling a lie. But his misstatement was simply a mistake, not a lie: Barack Obama’s uncle, Charlie Payne, was in fact part of a group of American troops who helped liberate a concentration camp, but that camp was at Buchenwald, not Auschwitz."


You call that a lie?... :-?

I used to think my great-granfather died at Verdun in WWI...
He died at the Somme...
I wasn't lying,.. I was mistaken.

Back to top  


No, I'm not calling that a lie. I'm calling it what it is, a mistake.  I'm sure he wasn't thinking about it. It was something his family had always told him so he repeated it. I'm sure if you could talk to Obama and said it couldn't have been that camp because that was liberated by the Russians, it was a different one, he'd say 'oh, you're right. My bad. We should have realized that." And that would be the end of it. No big deal.  (Which by the way is what Pocahontas should have done when she figured out she wasn't an Indian. but she doubled down and got caught.)

I was simply pointing out this to Mr. Hypocrisy.

No, that's my point. Everyone can see the opposite except you.

The heartland passed judgement on you in 2016 and they're going to pass judgement on you next week. You've lost the war but you refuse to admit it. You are not George Bailey, I am closer to George. I am not Potter, but neither are you. You are the mean bartender. You are the down and out cab driver. Potter is George Soros.

Again, 3 million FEWER voted for trump... but that's fine.  You want to think that a majority is opposed to my viewpoint, that's your opinion.  You're entitled to it.

Everyone else can see that it's incorrect.

You ask anyone on the street - What kind of politician would George Bailey make, a conservative or a liberal?  Most, if not all would say liberal.

If you think otherwise, you're in deep denial.

Certainly if you ask those 3 million more idiots, they would! Most people on the street can't name their senator.

Most people would say if JFK were alive today, his policies would make him a Republican. So it is with George Bailey.

Again, if you think Bailey would chase Cruz out of a restaurant, you're more foolish that I thought.

Certainly if you ask those 3 million more idiots, they would! Most people on the street can't name their senator.

Most people would say if JFK were alive today, his policies would make him a Republican. So it is with George Bailey.

Again, if you think Bailey would chase Cruz out of a restaurant, you're more foolish that I thought.

Well m, I only retort with the same rhetoric that's thrown at me.

The times I've posted about the kkk or the nazi's or some other right wing group, I'm basically looking for condemnation from the conservatives on here.

I rarely get it.

I get "Oh yeah, what about ANTIFA?"  "What about BLM?" "What about......?"

Every single time I've responded to them.  Those groups are not a representation of the majority of the democrats.

So, I don't know what to tell you.

A 1947 FBI memo (pdf, pg. 14) indicated concern that the screenwriters were closet Communists and that the portrayal of bankers and rich people was highly suspect.

https://ia801003.us.archive.org/29/items/FBI_File_Communist_Infiltration_Motion_Picture_Industry_COMPIC_ALL_EXCERPTS/compic9a.pdf

If the FBI was investigating the writers for writing communist propaganda, George Bailey could hardly be construed as a Republican.

Again, 3 million FEWER voted for trump... but that's fine.  You want to think that a majority is opposed to my viewpoint, that's your opinion.  You're entitled to it.

keep telling yourself that if that's what works for you, I used to think you were one of the reasonable ones I could have a discussion with, but now, you've been exposed as the partisan you've always been

I mean, come on, are you blind???


TT posts this thread, saying hey, let's take some time to reflect, here's some thoughts, not attacking any side.... not really, and MNSprings comment is, not disagreeing with the actual post, but BASHING THAT IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN TT, an ad hominem attack, not on the issues raised in the post but against TT from past baggage they have.   it's impossible to heal a relationship when ONE side is constantly berating the other and giving them no ability to move past the past.  This is YOUR SIDE's speciality with all the whataboutisms and dragging up the past from the 1900s with the KKK being democrat for pete's sake...  

the rest of us have moved on, we've acknowledged our past misgivings and are trying to deal with issues TODAY, but you can't help but bring up past issues, you aren't ready to move forward together

have you learned nothing from Romeo and Juliet.... let the hate go, it'll only destroy both families.  



oh and since you seem to have forgotten, after the baseball shootings and connections were made with Bernie, Bernie made a statement on the floor of the congress condemning that violence, but that's not enough for you... so why should the President's remarks  be good enough for us? especially when he then tweets out about it  being fake news' fault..  

so yeah, both conservative and liberal media stoke the fires to get views and ratings....    but TT was addressing US here, can we not together move past that?  

but if you want to cling to your "lefties are the violent ones" diatribe, then this will be my last response to anything you have to say, (I hope anyway, but you have proven to be surprising before ... )

I know what kind of person you are, but I don't claim to know what you're thinking when you post something.

Don't get all flustered because I've got you pegged correctly. You hate Trump, you hate me, you hate the 'middle American values' that voted for Trump. So you came up with a stupid analogy about George Bailey that displayed how blind you are to reality. Just like you saying for the last two years Trump was finished tomorrow. Always tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. At least you've learned enough not to predict a Blue Wave next week. I'll give you credit for growing up a bit these past couple years.

No.  I'm just seeing it more every day that it's very, very important to you to quantify me. "He said it out of hate" is an absolute.  Not just an opinion.

You seem to actually need to.  Perhaps it's a coping mechanism that you've developed?  I'm not sure.  But it's rearing its ugly head more and more.

Not this current drop of republicans.  I voted for rauner and that went nowhere.

So I am to say:

 Pro-gun people did make the decision.  That is also very clear in the transcript.  Pro-gun when asked Yes or No, said Yes.  That was their decision, and the reason, which was made clear in the very first post, and multiple afterward, are being ignored for some reason.

 Thank you however for finally answering the question.

Say their are 12 people to make a decision.
4 are Anti, and 8 are Pro.
Yet when it come times to vote,
the Pro vote Anti ?
(They did NOT  change their mind, they just voted, Pro)
Why ?
Could it possibly be that the, anti, 4,
have the power to determine who, cleans out bed pans, and who gets to walk the hall with a clipboard ?
Or who gets extra hours and who does not ?
Or who works nights, weekends, and Holidays, and who does not ?
Or who gets a black mark , and who gets a gold star in their file ?

Ya think that could have anything to do with how they voted ?????

"Or who gets extra hours and who does not ?

?

 No.  These are facility administrators, not employees, there is no situation where any of the people present are subordinates of another.

"They did NOT  change their mind, they just voted, Pro)
Why ?"


 The answer has been indicated many, many times over but you refuse to acknowledge it.  Lawsuit mitigation.  Mitigation of lawsuits, that happen regularly.  Legal protection.  That's why.

 You are literally fabricating scenarios in an attempt to not acknowledge that the decision was based exclusively off of lawsuit mitigation.  Not everyone that is pro-gun is willing to bankrupt their company so they can carry a gun to work.  Not every person who chooses to leave a gun at home does so out of fear, coercion, or concern of retaliation, some people just value their career more than their guns at work.

 I don't know why it is so important to create scenarios that never existed, but since I foresaw this I will once again offer you the opportunity to be in contact with each of these people personally to verify.  They can, and are willing to tell you personally, without my involvement, that they were present at that meeting and why they made the decision.
