Welcome to America

What I've seen for 10+ years on this forum is right wingers show up ready to fight and a huge chip on their shoulder, ready to own a lib. Almost every single one has been a dick.

And yes, of course, there are dicks on the left who challenge every right winger who arrives because time and time again they arrive with the same tired, callous, aggressive attitude. The arrogance of both sides is mostly suffocating.

I am learning how to breath through the antagonisms

We agree, there are a lot of dicks on the left. Thank you for acknowledging it.
Seems like there are a lot of dicks in your life, just saying

Another assessment. Somehow the State allowed insurance companies not to have enough resources to cover claims.

Florida orders new emergency assessment fee on home insurance policies

The state of Florida is ordering a new fee attached to nearly everyone's home insurance policy.

I was reading this and shaking my head earlier this morning.
The thing that gives me comfort is knowing DeSantis is giving the same attention to this as he is to the wokeness at Disney.

Is that your defense or your offense? Your ego gets in the way every time you get in a conversation.

I agree with the words you type regarding the ego maniacs. I don’t agree that you are serious about civil conversation and you prove my point with every post. I could be wrong but I think you see life as a game of winners and losers and you need to be a winner to have value. But I think you know that life is both winning and losing so you need a distraction from reality. You need people like Donald Trump to validate you. You need Fox News to validate you. What you don’t yet realize (and many people don’t) is that there is value in awareness of imperfection. We lose a game. It will make us better because we will work hard to correct mistakes. Unless your ego is on steroids then you blame, deny, disrespect, antagonize, retaliate…react with negative emotion. You seem to get that but you allow your ego to weaken you. Listen we all have ego so it is not a sin but don’t let it control you. I am not the enemy. There is no left or right winners or losers. You will never have enough information to know who I am so focus on who you are. We have this one life. Don’t waste it on people who tell you what you want to hear and think you are an idiot who can’t think for yourself. We type words on a computer. Does not really mean much. Arguing for the hell of it seems wasteful of time. Time is not in our favor. Work at being a better human because that is the only legacy that matters…

Lets break down your mini novel
I have no idea what you mean offense or defense
Neither one of us know what you mean in your second sentence

No one said ego maniac, thats an odd term
If you don't think I would like to have a serious conversation then that is your opinion and I'm not sure you have a point
I do not see life as a game of winners and losers
I believe everyone has value but most never even try
I do not like Trump as a person. To say I need him is odd and incorrect but I'm picking up a pattern
I rarely watch fox news, or any left wing media as I realize they are in the business of obtaining viewers so their goal has less to do with actual news and more to do with entertaining but if you say I need them I can't stop you from being wrong
Your next sentence is like a line cut from Mr Miyagi
You only lose if you don't learn
I have an ego not really sure about the steriod part
I will try better then to allow my ego to control me, that was a lie I think you're odd
I don't think you are my enemy, you are a guy that I think has smoked a lot of weed and thinks he has risen to an self proclaimed point of enlightenment
I know we have 1 life
I know exactly who I am
There are tons of winners and losers on both sides
It's been decades since I cared what anyone else thinks
Yes we type words on a computer, we agree

So seriously, what are you on? I need some, I'm wound a little tight. Whatever you're on is working. Let me know

 

[Lou Deman]

Do I need to say it again and again and again...there is no spine in a super ego. I know you like the idea of having a "spine" but you will find it with the back breaking work of finding out that you are just another human who is less than what you thought a human is supposed to be. Please don't list all your human accomplishments because the only truth that has value is how you treat other humans. Be civil. Be social. Be better. It is back breaking work and you will need a spine trust me

I'll take a large word salad and a water please, thank you

A lot of gaps in this article, doesn't seem made up at all

Please provide something to back up your statement.
Are republicans going twist this tragedy like they did to the ten year old Ohio rape victim?

Sure thing
First paragraph
Doesn't state that she was confirmed to have cancer (or cancerous cells). It is illegal for a hospital to turn away a sick person

Second paragraph
States numerously that she was turned away from numerous hospitals with a life threatening issue, this is illegal times as many unnamed hospitals as she when to

Third and forth paragraph
This is where the author pulls at the heart strings stating how evil Oklahoma is for having abortion laws. They even quote somebody regurgitating the lefts talking point stating that abortion is health care (unless you're the baby).

In summary
No one names any of the half dozen hospitals, no one interviews anyone but the alleged victim, not one video (which every hospital and every cell phone has). I'm calling BS across the board but please let me know if you think I'm wrong so I can post a link about all of the Jussie Smollett stuff

That is you being you. Not sure why you believe you are being honest with yourself. Democracy is hard work. Listening, learning and compromising. It is inefficient and not terribly useful in business. You might think the efficiency of concentrated power is what you want but history and reality has revealed otherwise. Governing a Country is not a business. Never has been and never will. Checks and balances on power is vitally important to all our freedom. Concentrated wealth is not an important goal in life. Sharing and caring must be a part of our society. Donald Trump/Ron DeSantis have revealed who they are and wealth and power seems to be their only goals. You can argue that anyone who runs for political office wants power. I can argue that there is a real difference between Biden and Trump/DeSantis in terms of Democracy. I think if you are honest with yourself you would focus on you being the best you can be. I hope your words in this forum is just your ego out of control and not really who you want to be. For me this forum provides a mirror and you can choose to look at it or not...

Lets do this again
I am always me, thank you for this fortune cookie wisdom
You are not sure why I believe I am being honest with myself? What is wrong with you? Does this make sense in your head? Back off on the drugs, your grey matter is turning into mush.
Democracy doesn't take any work at all it is literally how you roll, it is opinion, usually based on feelings and emotion, this is why the MEN that foundd our great nation didn't want a democracy and why they gave us a republic
Men like me never compromise on matters of principle
I've been in business for 28 years and I find myself doing just fine
'the efficiency of concentrated power' what does that even mean?
I am aware America is not a business and our bottom line shows it, we are screwing all the American behind us because of how our government spends money we don't have.
Yes check and balances are required, our founding fathers were smart
Your view on wealth leads me to be believe you are broke or hypocritical (by not giving your wealth away)
Your opinions on leaders from the right are your opinions
I would love to hear your comparison between Biden and Trump/Desantis, I just don't know if your keyboard will take the abuse.
You need to stop using the word democracy if you are speaking about America, we live in a republic. The left wants to live in a democracy because they are not good at reading and comprehending history. Name me 1 democracy that hasn't ended in a dictatorship. You won't answer though because the truth will hurt your ego
I try to be the best me everyday, thanks coach
Do you think of this stuff while you cuddle with a yoda blow up doll?

U.S. Sen. Rick Scott introduces $70 billion plan to stop mass shootings in schools

School Guardian Act would put an armed officer at every school in America in response to mass shootings running rampant across country.

$70 billion to watch another Uvalde, unless the bill requires these LEO's to do their job.
