Dallas, question for you

Is Warden like this in real life or is it an act on here?

I’m leaning towards the latter. I’m 50/50 on this one.

Most people are not like they are on these sites. Most people like to talk shit behind a keyboard.

You mean quick to fact check and rarely wrong?

Lmao- and loves himself a great deal.

Dude you’ve been wrong a lot.

Just because a biased fact check agrees with you doesn’t make you right.

I have no doubt in my mind that Warden is most likely a fun and relatively normal person in person.

This is his way of getting the dark spirits out of him.

Gsc - you made me laugh. So true.

That’s not entirely wrong.

In real life, I’m quiet, corny and TRY not to share my opinions anymore…unless it just spills over once or twice a year. I appreciate Dad jokes, a good edge on a lawn, and a new fishing rod. I call EVERYONE sir or ma’am, a miss here and there so I don’t make young women feel old and I’ll help you bring your groceries inside or bag up your grass. I’m not an exciting or confrontation person at all and I enjoy it that way.

I’ve known Warden for what, almost 30 years? Fuck, we are old. There’s a group of us, fraternity brothers, that chat just about every day over a group text. He’s a good dude and a great friend. A brother even. I’d trust him with my life, and we all know we’d be there for each other if needed. We’ve been drunk together too many times to count. Done numerous drugs together in college and have tons of crazy ass stories from all the wacky shit we have done.

GSC hit the nail on the head. The one thing that will get Warden riled up is politics. None of us really discuss politics at all. This is his outlet. He’s actually more middle ground than anything in real life.

We are old is right.

Then why doesn’t he post middle ground here? There’s nothing middle about any of his bullshit.

When you’re far, far to the right, the middle ground seems quite to the left. :rofl:

Seriously, though - what exactly isn’t middle of the road?

I support guns. I dig guns. I have guns.
I think nobody should let their kids take hormone drugs before 18 outside of birth control
I am still unable to comprehend how government shut down businesses during Covid.
I don’t like taxes and don’t feel we get a single thing for them. I mean, send me a Snickers once a year or something
I support natural gas drilling and think it’ll secure us as the top spot in the future once the decoupling of globalization occurs
I’m all for limiting illegal immigration, just think an 1800 mile wall is stupid and unrealistic.

I mean, seriously…how far right do you have to be to think basic healthcare should be affordable, I believe in 3rd grade science and we shouldn’t pretend history doesn’t exist in classrooms? Gay people shouldn’t be hunted for sport, women should continue to be allowed to vote and we shouldn’t force 10 yr old rape victims to have the baby. How unbelievably far left of me… :sweat_smile:

Lots of drugs. :smile: That Jolly Green Giant is still talking shit, btw

Quit stealing the same material I literally said to you and djrion 100 times, lol.

You say you are for all these things yet that’s not how you vote and you are a troll spazz against others who don’t support them.

You’re incorrect. I vote for the party who always does better with the economy, thinks in the long term and not short, and acknowledges basic reality. That’s not the GOP.
The GOP, right now, is the party who wears tampons on their ear when Trump gets nicked and gun pins on their lapel when kids get shot in the face. They are the party who discounts basic science, basic history, and supports the guy who wanted to nuke a hurricane, for real. They overtly want Christian nationalism, have a House Speaker who said each woman should be required to provide at least 1 laborer to the country via their cooch, and again…thinks a 10 yr old should not get free lunch at school but instead should be forced to have their rapist’s baby. They think corporations are people with all the rights of people, but no accountability whatsoever. They tried to scrap the CFPB from its beginning for things like its requiring investment advisors to take into consideration their client’s interest rather than selling them bullshit schemes for their own commissions.

Fact is, nobody in the Democratic party is trying to take your guns. The right claims this shit all the time, but only basic background checks and shit are being put into legislation.
Nobody is trying to ban fracking.
I hear people talking about protecting trans kids and trans people, but I don’t ever hear anyone nationally talk about the specifics of giving kids the drugs before 18. That shit just happened. But, the right thinks they should be hunted down. Simply thinking they are people and leave them alone shouldn’t be a partisan issue.
I have never seen a Democrat call for open borders or not working on illegal immigration. I’ve regularly seen people talk about how to better use the funds rather than a big fucking wall 1800 miles long that a $12 ladder can beat. We had a bipartisan bill that was a wish list for conservatives but Trump didn’t like its optics during his election.
Right now, the GOP is beholden to a single person who openly cares about loyalty to him not the US, how things benefit him, not the US. So, I can’t get behind that in any way.
In general, the GOP hasn’t put forth a bill that put labor over the corporation for as long as I can look up. I’m starting to think its never happened. I favor labor over corporate interests, in general. When the middle and lower class have a larger share, the economy does better. Pretty simple math. Since Reagan’s trickle down bs, America’s 1% has taken $50 trillion from the bottom 90%. We talk about redistribution of wealth all the time, but never talk about how the 1%'s share grew 242% since Reagan while everyone else’s share as a % dropped.

We don’t have a left wing party in the US, not in reality. We have a far, far right wing party and a center left sometimes party. I sincerely LOATHE the DNC, but the GOP makes it easy to vote for the other side.

Harris is literally quoted saying she is in favor of banning fracking. Direct quote. She also is directly quoted on supporting communist principles…But hey you ignore her.

I have never seen a Democrat call for open borders or not working on illegal immigration

Lol…Of course they aren’t going to “call” for it. They just let it happen.

The GOP, right now, is the party who wears tampons on their ear when Trump gets nicked and gun pins on their lapel when kids get shot in the face.

Stop with the dramatic shit… A. Who cares a few morons did this. B. Your side had kids in masks in schools in 2022, sit this one out.

Last minute Hail Mary to save a train wreck they created…No thanks.

Your goofy interpretation, no thanks.

I truly don’t give a shit about this…I’m cool with rich people having money, they don’t owe me shit.

We don’t have a left wing party in the US, not in reality. We have a far, far right wing party and a center left sometimes party.

1000% incorrect…Moving more and more left every second. Agree that there are still far right factions, and imo that will hurt the GOP

He better hope I don’t see him in the store.

More evidence how far right you actually are.

I’m as dead center as center gets

You are just another wack job leftist…It’s really that simple.

The person you are voting for says…“Equality of outcome”- You “I don’t know what she’s talking about”

The person you are voting for says …“There is no question I’m in favor of banning fracking” - You “Nobody is trying to ban fracking”

The person you are voting for is the Border Czar… Huge rise in border numbers last 3 years…

Say you are one thing…Support the other. You don’t know what center is.

I have always been a liberal, a liberal in the classical sense. I was a Kennedy liberal. I voted for Hubert Humphrey. What has transpired is the left has become a bunch of Marxist, and I lived in the Soviet Union long enough to experience the tyranny of one party rule in perpetuity. For me, individual liberty is my most important concern. I don’t believe in censorship, though I admit to tiring sometimes of idiotic ranting. I like small town living where people are kind and helpful to one another. Needless to say, I am not a leftist, a liberal but not a leftist. I am a tolerant person, but intolerant to what is intolerable. Philosophically, I favor ethical universals which by the way are conspicuously missing from Islam which is intrinsically radical and not amenable to change.

I don’t dislike Warden despite disagreeing with him vociferously. In reality, I’d not drown him in the bayou despite holding him under water for a prudent amount of time would do us both a world of good. Warden is a good poster and raises hell in this forum. Otherwise, we’d be overcome by boredom. I think Warden has a good heart, and sometimes pours out personal feelings that I find poignant which also validate my assessment of him.

Utopian society may well be totally illusory and out of reach for humanity. It is not inconceivable that humans will destroy themselves, leaving the planet to evolve more naturally. And, what gift will humans have gifted to the universe when they are gone? In all the history of humanity, humans have created only one thing that will endure for all times. I know what it is. What do you think it might be?

Microplastics probably.
