Pity
But if you enter someone else's home and are unsuccessful in your attempt to steal things, do you still have a right to interfere as Trump is claiming?
But you do agree that Trump is a psychopath.
But it's ok to call Trump a psychopath, right?
1. I have absolutely no idea what you think I’ve said or done that is uncivil.
2. Agree to disagree.
3. Agree to disagree.
When I say, “Agree to disagree,” I really mean,
1. I don’t agree with you.
2. You haven’t “proven me wrong,” I just don’t agree with you.
3. I wish you no ill will.
4. I’m simply done with this conversation.
Agree to disagree. 😘

I feel like dancing. </blockquote>
That's nice, dear (pats JoWilli's head). Would you like a cookie?
1. That still doesn't explain how you think I have been uncivil.
2. Agree to disagree.
3. Agree to disagree.
<blockquote>1. Ziggy, your point is based on you having been... indoctrinated to the point where you have "forgotten" how to talk about groups, like a normal person. That is a huge failure on your part. </blockquote>
Um, no. Groups of people are made up of individuals, and those individuals do not always share the same opinion. That is not indoctrination, that is respect. That is not a failure on my parent, but it looks like it is ignorance on your part.
2. No, not his ability (although that is a factor), his desire.
3. Agree to disagree.

Omaba said elections cant be hacked. </blockquote>
And how does that make you feel?

it depends on your definition of everyone...
Which is correct, everyone or every one?
Tip If you're unsure whether to use everyone or every one, try replacing the word “every” with “each.” If the sentence still makes sense, every one is the correct phrase to use. If not, you might mean everyone.

Everyone laughed at her joke.
Not everyone finished their meal.</blockquote>
I see. So you do agree with those who say Russia hijacked the 2016 United States Presidential Election. Good to know.
<blockquote> [–] JoWilli (18091) 3 minutes ago
who did?</blockquote>
You did. You just said,
<blockquote> [–] JoWilli (18091) 8 hours ago
everyone just accepted that Russia hijacked the 2016 election with no evidence.</blockquote>
and I would assume that "everyone" would include you, so that means that you accepted it.
Are you saying you are not a part of "everyone?"

You did? Hmm ... interesting.
Oh, sorry, I just realized that you don't know anything. You just like to throw insults at people when the call you out on your ignorance.
1. You are really, really overly sensitive. I have no idea what you think I've done that's "uncivil" or why you think you need to "respond in kind." Name calling is uncivil (and immature and petty). If you can't make your point without it, you can't make your point.
2. Both Ukraine and Russia have made proposals that the other side rejected (for whatever reason). You're trying to paint the picture that Russia has proposed peace and the US has rejected it. (As if Ukraine has no voice or is being bullied by the US). Finally, who (besides you) has said anything about removing Putin?
3. The US has relationships with many nations and peoples all over the world. The degree to which the US gets involved varies for many, many reasons. I would not pretend to be an expert on every situation. Most of the time, the US is more involved when their are US interests involved. Unfortunately, it's not always for humanitarian reasons. The US has military bases all over the world. Why don't we have more of a presence in Central American? (I don't know.)
You think Russia doesn't have nuclear weapons?
1. I don't know if there is a word for "All Democrats," but ...
"All African Americans ... " is racist.
"All females ... " is sexists.
"Gen Z thinks ... " is ageist.
What word would you use for "All MAGA's ... ?"
2. Putin's ideology is irrelevant. The fact that he thinks he is entitled to rule the former Soviet Union, is. Whether you think his goals are realistic or not, changes nothing. He still has the ability to invade other countries and be quite destructive.
3. Standing up to a bully causes less escalation than letting the bully just walk in and take over and gain momentum and feel entitled to repeat.
Are you under the impression that Russia has not fired any missiles?
1. I have never not been civil. You have said, "idiot," "asshole" and "fuck you/off." Those are uncivil (and very aggressive) things to say. I have not said anything even remotely as aggressive.
2. Not aiding Ukraine is going to allow many, many more people to die than aiding them.
3. You do have to find the right balance, but recognize that Ukraine is defending against an attacking nation. Assisting them in their defense in the hopes of stopping the aggressor (Russia) from invading even more countries is a very small act compared to "policing the world." It's preventative medicine, so to speak.
You are stuck on the concepts of "All Democrats" or "All Republicans" or "All ... " of whomever.
Until you break of out that "all or nothing," "us vs them," mindset, you are stuck on stupid.
By the way, Russia may not be powerful enough to take over the world, yet, but if they take over one country and then another country and then another country ... it won't take long. That is an actual threat.
The US is not going to war with Russia. They are aiding Ukraine against a Russian invasion. (That's not the same thing.)
To be clear, I never accused Republicans of being pro Putin, I simply asked one poster if that poster loved Putin. Again, you need to step out of that "all or nothing" mindset.
