The Pub - Discuss Anything

Now, now. George W Bush may not have been the smartest president or a man with the right ideals at the time but under his presidency AIDS research took massive steps forward. It was one of his few victories, he pushed for funding and awareness of AIDS in Africa. It was so successful that AIDS death rates have dropped 10% since it was implemented.

Quite a few genocidal maniacs had redeeming features, Hitler for instance was a vegetarian and loved animals.

I liked Elizabeth Taylors quote at the time, something like "he didnt do anything about Aids, not sure he can spell it"

Trump is just a racist piece of shit and all the other racists are coming out of hiding. I'm gonna go to a Trump rally and start a fight with someone.

Chicago Tribune's next headline. "Young Mexican man picks fight with Trump supporter; promptly rushed to ER".

Fixed.

I guess it doesn't help that I'm from a modest working class background, never poor yet never rich. Old money, nepotism and the very privileged have always rubbed me the wrong way.

As far as the rich and posh go, I do however like Stephen Fry. Not many have his charms and wits. Anyone can tell that man has worked his fingers to the bone to get where he is, despite his personal issues.

Stephen Fry is utterly fantastic.

@iseah100,
What's your opinion on Jason Heyward?

It was sealed the moment Starlin Castro was dealt.

It was sealed the moment Starlin Castro was dealt.

Absolutely. Signing Zobrist and trading him kept that cap space open, they went out and got him and he reportedly accepted less to join us. His ability to get on base, steal, defend, and just effect the game in different ways provides the Cubs with the perfect centerfielder (if he plays there) and leadoff hitter. I was sad to see Castro go but this move (along with the others) makes the Cubs the 2016 WS Favorites.

The problem with Castro is that he has the attention span of a gnat and can fuck the simplest of plays. Some pretty clever moves getting wily veterans to compliment the youth. I'm no baseball expert so feed me lines so I can impress people without actually understanding anything.

True, he did lose focus a bit but was a consummate proffesional. Always put the team first even when he was replaced at shortstop.

Great moves Lackey had a career year and is relatively cheap and one of the best active postseason pitchers. Zobrist is a great, experienced everyday utility man and Joe Maddon loves him. And Heyward can improve as he is just 26 years old. Next year is gonna be fun.

Just say the Cubs added a lot of experience to their young roster. [emoji16]

Sorry but you always tackle weird points in peoples arguments. You wrote all of this and none of it

was about the main point of my argument. But w/e, if you didnt understand theres nothing I can do.

Nothing against you, but I am over with properly debating on TC. I am past the point when I would

actually engage on conversations and try to properly explain my point of view.

Then don't quote me. It wasn't my first post in here, so i think most of the people already knew my style.

Why bother when you knew i would come up with "weird points", you are done " with properly debating" why did you quote me then?

Maybe i didn't get your point, but instead of getting into it calling my arguments more or less nonsense is not very nice.

By saying nothing personal it's getting less personal?

I couldn't let it go, especially when you say it in public!

Sorry, no offence.

You are brave to read Essien18 books.

Then put me on the ignore list so you don't have to read "my books" anymore.

What's your intend with these kind of posts apart from provoking?

Sorry, if it's not the right thread for this...

Hahahaha dude, this is a niche internet forum. I didnt "call you out", omg that was hilarious. You dont need to get all worked out because of it.

I said something and then you started tackling and counter arguing things I didnt even say. It is like you took a little minor sentence of my argument and made a whole quote about it.

No real problem in that really, but I am past the point of trying to debate here on TC so that is what I said on my response. Back in the day I would reply with long posts regarding my point of view and so on. But right now I am tired of doing this over and over again. And like I said, it isnt anything to do with you in particular.

[Spike 12,049]

@Peace.,

Nice to see you've returned.

[Essien19 1,415]

At this rate half of tc is gonna be on my ignore list

But your health will thank you one day, mate.

For me, it's best to stay away from Henrique, styles, excalibur and maybe Rmpr, they aren't here for a proper discussion, imo.

You write a long text, but all what comes back is 'book store', 'i'm done with having a proper discussion on TC' and other stuff just like this.

Come on, that's not how a community works, apart from Rmpr all they do is trying to provoke, imo.

It's fine to have a different opinion, but for a tango there are two people required, so just stay away. It's as simple as that.

Yes, maybe you put more people on your ignore list, but i promise you that there will be enough people left who you can talk at the end of the day.

I'm a member on a German community too, over the years there are around 15 people, but it's never ever been dull.

Trust me.

Cheers.

I appreciate the adivce. I don't know about those members, but I've had thpse experiences with a few members. I haven't been as active on here because of that.

Quit whining. It's getting tiring.
