You think I am far right? You think anyone here is far right?
Free speech much Bro?
I get it. You are seeking a "reaction". Well, I offered Threedog help in Technical, and I truly hope that it helps him. Heck, he even said thank you. It had nothing to do with this O/T section. Nothing. We lend a hand here. You?
I have asked MANY TIMES, what am I doing to hurt "you"? What in life am I doing wrong? I will always answer, and have RARELY not addressed a question from any one. You have bypassed many questions in a relatively short period of time. You are a hypocrite. I really have not spoken ill of you, but you are showing your colors.
Again, to ALL, what am I doing wrong in your eyes? Honest question.
That is a lie. A lie many ignorant people bought into. Because they blindly believe what their shepherds tell them. Say it Sonndydowner. Baa baa. I hate to call you ignorant but, what else are we supposed to think and call you ? A liar with malice ?
Did you even read the article under that slanderous headline ? I think not. Fact is, that headline mirrors exactly what a Washington Post headline proclaimed. Which they had to take down the very next day. But you knew that.

Rumor has it, . Link ? Fact is, people have been banned from here before.
After learning that Louis Farrakhan had been kicked off of Facebook and Instagram for "dangerous" speech, rapper Snoop Dogg came to his defense and urged his fans to post their favorite videos of the Nation of Islam leader.
Farrakhan was booted from the social media site, along with other controversial figures including InfoWars pundit Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopoulos and Paul Joseph Watson.
Farrakhan has a history of making anti-Semitic comments, having called Hitler a "great man" in the 1980s and, more recently, accusing Jewish people of being involved in the September 11th terrorist attacks.
"If you're down with it like I'm down with it, post your favorite Mr. Farrakhan videos on your Instagram and Facebook page," Snoop Dogg said in an Instagram video on Thursday evening.
"Show some love to a real brother."
I have always been amused by Snoop Dogg, but he really is an ass.
I have no idea what that means... oh... right I don't care either...
Dobey was a running joke around here. A VERY successful musician who like to stomp his feet and throw temper-tantrums about how he was OWED for things that never happened to him, by people who never did it. Typical wack-job leftist.
It was fun to wind him up and watch him launch like a rocket. I swear there were days he was frothing at the mouth that he wasn't going to get paid what he felt entitled to. He liked to threaten people whi disagreed with him too. Typical wack-job leftist.
He got voted off the Island eventually.

I did not know Dobey was a musician. As is the case with many "creative types", musicians are overwhelmingly leftists and very few could be described as "very successful". I am on a musician's forum and they are so far into the kool-aid I don't even try to engage them in the political discussions. Some day though, I won't be able to control the urge any longer and will come out of the conservative closet. It ain't gonna be purty.

I don't think so. Dobey was kind of goofy. I think Doni was an honest guy. I just vehemently disagreed with the cult he chose to join. I don't think he was banned, he just chooses not to participate.
Originally posted by Sundowner: Nope I didn't know that. If this is the article, it looks like they posted a correction.
That, I can believe. I don't even have to take you at your word.
Sundowner, there is a saying. Wise men know this and probably made up the saying. "Don't believe anything you read / hear, and only half the things you see."
There is another saying. "The pen is mightier than the sword." (That one has intrigued me since I was a kid.) It is true, and all the news titans know this. Which is why they all clamored to own multiple news outlets. Power. To own and control all those faint of thought. Are ye such a thinker ? Or, can you think for yourself ?
I am not trying to begrade (spellcheck don't like it but I do) you. Hopefully I can make you a stronger man.
Another saying for you : A lie told often enough becomes accepted as true. Have you noticed that many news organizations mirror others ? That politicians on either side of the crevice all seem to have the same 'talking points', down to the exact same adjective ?
It looks like the Washington Post issued a correction ? No ! They changed the headline, after the damage was done. (Usually, most corrections are done on page 14.)

Originally posted by Sundowner: Facebook bans extremist leaders including Louis Farrakhan, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos for being ‘dangerous’
Any moron could see those characters do not belong in the same group. Please, make us believe that you are smarter than a moron. "Far-Right Extremists" ? Dangerous ? I wish fish were as easy to catch as you are.
It is my belief that Louis Farrakhan is the only extremist, and the only one who is dangerous. The Reverend (I think he calls himself) Louis Farrakhan is the only one in that group who preaches hate. The others just have strong views and are vocal (the pen is mightier than the sword).
The adjectives, the opinion writers, express opinions. Opinions are like azzholes. Everybody has one and none think their's stink. Some, adopt the azzhole of others. Some conclude their own opinion.
Let me ask you. What is the real story the articles don't answer ?
Farrakhan has a history of making anti-Semitic comments, having called Hitler a "great man" in the 1980s and, more recently, accusing Jewish people of being involved in the September 11th terrorist attacks.
That's odd, seeing a black man call Hitler "a great man". Adolf Hitler was a white supremacist. The Nazis treated blacks just as badly as Jews. I wonder if Farrakhan knows that?
For the most part, I do not like to see anyone banned; with the notable exception of fake accounts. Almost everyone has something useful to contribute, almost everyone. Most of us are adult enough to handle the few who insist on making asses of themselves.
It is regrettable that some take this so seriously. It really is nothing more than a few blinking lights on a screen, a screen that has an off button.
