Gary's Corner

[promethean75]

The irony is that nothing was gained by those three Republican-initiated wars but investment opportunities for international capitalists and magnificent national debt. Nothing changed at the kitchen table or in the gas tank. If anything, we got to be stabbed or peed on by muslim immigrants and homegrown jihadist vape shop owners because of our meddling in the middle-east.

The Right has an interesting internal conflict. It has to square its imperialism with its professed conservative interests for its own country. When it declares a war or invades somewhere, things at home become harder for the working class. Then what good is imperialism for the people of the conservative republican state?

Discuss!

[promethean75]

Back in the day, Imperialism worked. You'd plunder the shit out of the people you conquered and annex their territory. Today, we get nothing from it but debt.

A more reasonable invasion would be Canada, Mexico, Brazil... countries we have a direct pipeline to that aren't across a fuckin ocean. It's not like it used to be. You can't land a few ships of soldiers and take over whole cities with em like back in 1700.

But then there's a good lesson to learn from Putin, too. Nations will unite and supply your enemy with arms and money, making it harder for you to conquer the fuckers (Ukranians).

[Gary Childress]

Aren't you the bossy mean man.

Talk about the secular echoing the biblical ... Holy mackerel! would have been a tempting tasty during a forty day fast, but nothing tastes as good as revelation.

Immorality is immorality, and no one should aid and assist it. You do in supporting Trump. There's no excuse, Walker. Trump is as corrupt as they come. The world would be a better, more peaceful, less corrupt place without people like Trump in a position of extreme power, and then you supporting Trump. It's a simple statement of indisputable fact. It's something you can correct by changing in ways that are not beyond your ability. But you refuse to. All the dodging and hand-waving in the world is not going to change the facts of Trump's behavior. No excuses, Walker. If anyone deserves Hell, it's Trump, and by extension, so do you if you don't change your tune. But that's your choice. If there's a just God in this world, then you may get what you deserve.

[promethean75]

Now, just you hold on, Gary. A few months ago, you were hollerin' about how unfair eternal hell is and how god is an asshole. Now, you're condemning Walker to that very same hell you once so passionately raised your fist at.

Anyway, here's the logical problem god is faced with in this eternal hell scenario. If a soul is like a human being but without a body, then the capacity for remorse and making resolutions to 'never do x again' exists for the soul in hell. This means that despite the possibility of rehabilitation on the part of the remorseful soul, the sentence will never be revoked.

On the other hand, if a soul is not like a body and incapable of sensory and cognitive suffering, then there is no point in punishing it, and hell would be superfluous.

Therefore, the christian god is incompetent or a sadist. We can't imagine a sadistic and incompetent god (that don't even sound right). Therefore, the christian god does not exist.

[promethean75]

Now see, i would dare a god to do that to me. But I've been doing shit like this since i was a young reprobate. Challenging authority to punish me so i could endure it and laugh at em. When they put me in seg at Holly Hill when i was 12 and felt that somehow i was not insane like the other kids and didn't belong there, i threw a fookin' chair through the acoustic ceiling tiles. Up, bro. I threw the chair up. Not across the room. It was awesome. The glass was unbreakable, the walls were concrete. Think, Prom. The only thing that could suffer a collision with a flying chair is the ceiling! Let's go!

The problem with authority structures is that they're networked in a way that forces them to share responsibility across the board in the making of the reprobate to-be anarchist illegalist.

The over-disciplinary and abusive father and the badly funded secondary redirectional schools that put the kid in physical danger are intimately related. Dad beats the kid > kid ends up in reject school for bad behavior > rejects threaten kid at school > kid takes knife to school to defend himself against rejects not controlled by staff > kid gets expelled and sent to Holly Hill > kid throws chair through ceiling.

Even if this trajectory leads me straight to hell, shall i walk it with smug satisfaction and pride.

[Gary Childress]

Now, just you hold on, Gary. A few months ago, you were hollerin' about how unfair eternal hell is and how god is an asshole. Now, you're condemning Walker to that very same hell you once so passionately raised your fist at.

Unlike Walker, I don't support criminally corrupt leaders. I would hope that if there's a God, then God would be more concerned about those who support lying, deceit, and destruction than those who simply don't worship at church. If God thinks it's OK to support and promote a corrupt person like Trump but not OK to refuse to worship in church, then I'd say God is not a good God. I don't worship Gods who aren't more benevolent than an average human being. Does that seem reasonable to you?

[promethean75]

The day of judgment for Walker will come, Gary, and no more will he spin his webs of deception. For the Lord knoweth all men's hearts.

Go now with god, my son, and pray for Walker.

”Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations? But I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election, because it doesn’t make sense for them not to.” - The POTUS

What age do you think you stopped developing emotionally?
(As indicated by the shallowness of analysis).

They say emotional trauma can freeze emotional age, and of course that can freeze fresh apprehensions into old patterns, making life dreary and repetitious.

I don't worship Gods who aren't more benevolent than an average human being.

People who gravitate to being cult members like to suspend all responsibility for acting out the worst of themselves. They can be insane or destructive while claiming they are "saved" or "righteous". The God Cult... the Trump Cult... the Whatever-the-fu<k Cult... it's all the same shit: dishonest, lazy, cowardly, and ignorant.

Fortunately, this does not represent all of humankind.

There is more divine quality represented all throughout nature than in any human cult. Human beings who want to 'play god' by "interpreting or imposing a false god" for everyone else are the worst among us.

Just ONE of the most insane parts in a thoroughly stupid and rambling speech as has already been generally acknowledged except, of course, by the maga-maggots. How has this fuking idiot's invasion of Iran not made everything worse in the Middle East, once again, including now a well organized Houthi revival.

While a deal can indeed be reached on paper, the most ironic consequence of Trump's crackbrained decision is that now Iran has a renewed and greater incentive to create nuclear weapons than they had BEFORE the invasion and repeated threats of annihilation. Every time after WWII, the US invaded a country, it turned into a catastrophe and yet keep repeating the same blundering errors consistently! In spite of a "presumed" ultra-powerful military, if you rot from the inside, you're going down beginning with the attempted banning of a Free Press to conceal failures which, in spite of their own limitations, is nevertheless an essential ingredient of by the people, for the people system of government, its effectiveness conditioned upon the general intelligence of its citizenry.

Seeing Mark Carney on his tablet during Trump's speech, I wonder if he wasn't playing pin the tail on the donkey.

[Gary Childress]

Aren't Trump supporters wonderful people? They want to make Iran great. And if Iran doesn't choose for America to make them great, then they will be bombed into the Stone Age. I don't understand why the Iranians don't want to be great. I mean, clearly Trump has made America great again? I mean, our foreign relations are now a nightmare. Doesn't Iran want to be like us?

Do you think Iran is the people of Iran, or, do you think that protecting Iran means to protect the unreasonable Islamists who are in power?

When Trump supporters speak of Iran, they are speaking of the people who the tyrants suppress, for instance, the women of Iran. They think that getting rid of the current oppressors who run the government, will make Iran great again.

When you speak of Iran, you think that the government that suppresses the people, and murders its own population in the streets, is the country.
This is how effective propaganda has been on your poor brain.

The United States and Israel are liberators.
The government of Iran is the oppressor ... of people just like you, Gary.

You don't fu<king care about the women of Iran.

This is how effective propaganda has been on your poor brain.

This is how effective Trump's compulsive lying has been for justifying the incessant dishonesty that festers 'in your poor brain'. This is apparently why so many sick people support a sick leader -- they feel validated! A LEADER who makes up stupid bullshit like a child, and who thinks that lying is acceptable anytime for any self-serving means.

The United States and Israel are liberators.

This is the stupidest thing you could say. They are only after their VERY OWN self-serving interests. When Trump was trying to negotiate a ceasefire months ago because he realized how much his dumb war was screwing him, Netanyahu continued lobbing bombs to screw up the ceasefire. They think each other is crazy. It's a big stupid game. No one is being liberated -- they are being destroyed by leaders on all sides who are serving themselves.

The government of Iran is the oppressor...

EVERY corrupt government oppresses, including the U.S. and Israel. Why have you taken up positions/sides that you must stupidly lie for? Why align yourself (and your identity) with such deceivers and their bullshit self-serving stories?
