The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That's on you. You don't read, you don't understand anything, and you go into every thread with a narrative story you want to match the other side to. Then when you don't get it, you get all stampy-foot and start calling people terrorists, Nazis, what have you.

Hey, man, you do you. I'm not going to fetch you any more rocks and when I see the narrative game being played I'm going to call you on it


I think you're confused. I recall saying a chunk of your side resembles protofascists and called them beige shirts.

Here's one of your points in direct writing.

"I think we've had two good examples of Russian tactics, training, and armament being defeated by the USA in GW 1 & 2. I think that's enough to support we had adequate knowledge that the Soviet Military is extremely deficient;"

There it is. Two posts you made summarized into two sentences. My point is clear.

And by "fetching rocks" do you mean that you didn't tell me you were talking about GW 1 & 2 in the first post and waited to see if I'd guess what you meant? Isn't that a game? Yes it is. So you play games and then accuse me of playing games? I didn't play your game did I?

And thank you for your post on the Excise tax, but after reading enough of it I realized your response had nothing to do with what anyone was talking about. I was interested because you stated a blue state had redefined Federal Income. They didn't, they redefined excise tax to include capital gains for STATE income purposes. Not the first time I've seen something like that.

Dope, be more direct, don't do strawmen, don't flood the zone with shit, and don't play games and accuse the other side of playing games.
