To discuss, the receiver rather than the transmitter needs to fiddle with the tuning.

That's imaginative.

However, everyone is transmitting and receiving. And they don't need to follow rules.

Then communication of concepts cannot be, as you exemplify.

Cleaning up the Big Problems created by Biden, attempting to finish a war started and continued by Iran before Iran drops a bomb on your head, and deportation of illegal immigrants which is not persecution ... is better than letting such things continue ... such as what Democrat mayors are doing to destroy American cities.

Objectively speaking, you betcha, Gary. Much better than the chaos left in the wake of Biden, and you have not proven otherwise, despite clinging to your illusions.

Have a nice day.

That's a good idea, and a good way to end that same old dance of subjective relativism that they insist on shuffling to.

"They"? What glorious dance do you imagine that you and I.C. are doing?

Concepts are being communicated constantly by everyone.

How stupid and false are you going to imagine everything to be in order to elevate yourself?

Maybe you would have liked him better had Biden been even half the asshole that Trump is? But what do you care that your country is in another war? Your stock portfolio probably goes up when people, including those from your own country, die in war. You're a pretty reprehensible human being, Walker. If you even cared, it would be halfway to you changing for the better. Dirtbag.

Er...yes...I'm a ...subjective relativist. Yes, that's right...because subjective relativists insist on believing in objective morality...isn't that right?

You misunderstand again... maybe you need to read a lot more books if that's what comfortably expands your thinking at a gradual pace you can accept.

Walker's childish accusation against "they"... as in, us and them... and his projection (like the many he spews) is so obviously lame, considering how you two self-adulating blowhards continually relish your "same old dance" despite so much greater intelligence and logic to the contrary all around/beyond yourselves. You just can't seem to fathom that such potential is possible, which shows how small your reality/view must be in order to place yourselves at the top of it!

Oh, don't be such a mean old man.
Santa will leave you another lump of coal in your stocking
(which reminds me of a Polish joke).
Are you Polish?

This guy in the link is no swami.
He’s just confident about what he says,
Which is proven by the hat he wears.
He's just asking someone to knock it off ...

And surprise him with something beyond his calculus of multiple variables.

And I'm just asking you to withdraw support from Trump. Have you done it yet? Do you acknowledge that Trump is the worst-case scenario for all of us and needs to be removed from office? (Or that, at the very least, Trump is worse than Biden in the quality of leadership?)

Anyone who endorses a president with 91 felony counts isn't going to be suseptible to reason, Gary.

Here's a fun thing you can do with your friends. Go to the voter booths and place Trump voters under citizen's arrest for aiding and abetting a felon. Lol i need a fuckin camera crew, Gary. Ever watch Jackass? Buddy, you have no idea.

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.

Interesting. One would think you would have more in common with someone unfairly treated by the system.

Or, do you consider yourself to be fairly treated by life?

One man, standing alone, against corruption of the system ... and all the minions of that system (Democrats with their big tent).

Trump, and everyone else who stands tall against a system made unfair by corruption, is the embodiment of American grit and determination and objectively speaking, an inspiration to carry on in a secular way ... which has parallels in the Holy Bible. (Gradually loud up the sound while speaking that sentence.)

Reminds us of a ballad for the cynic. (The grammatical royal us).

A great Trump Trolling would be if he started to actually wear a cape. A MAGA cape. They used to be fashionable, and he could be self-deprecating about it, say it hides the good life that's making him round. The outside of the cape could be a campaign slogan, 'cause that's the way it is for the 24/7 people.
