Favorite War Room poster

You mean the one where he said he was black and half the posters including Hollywood nicky thought he was Latino? Hell I had been talking with him for years and thought he was latino. I think the pic of his wife lead a lot of people to believe that.

It's not a double standard, it only matters if it is white or cops doing the killing.

And you are racist for even bringing up that the black community should care. Pan told me that the black community is doing all they can to police their own neighborhood and bring the inner city violence to light on a national level. He called me racist and said I thought everyone that was black was ghetto. He told me I shouldn't talk about what the black community should or should not do. He told me they were handling it because he posted a couple articles of clergy asking the police for extra help.

You would do good to just be quite if you are white, you can't have any opinion on what black society should be doing.

Pan's wife is Indian.
 
I'm gonna nit pick you a little, but it's out of love. Catholicism is only a denomination under Christianity, so if you believe in the Christian God, you accept that it's the right religion by definition. No one denomination is perfect, and some are much less perfect than others, but it's still the "right" religion, if you accept the overarching theme.

Unless of course you meant that Hinduism or Islam may be right, or that all roads lead to Rome, in which case, my objection would be entirely different.


I thought they all believe in the same Jewish God.
 
Oh I love these threads.... Like the academy awards of a nether region on the Internet

If it makes you feel any better, that exchange is still probably the funniest thing I've ever read in the War Room.
 
Are you referring to the Democratic voters who just can't get enough of gun death stats and new laws that will fix the problem? They must be the ones baiting Bernie and Hillary into making countless statements on the subject.

Probably should ignore this, but I'll just say that some people can count to three. And, you know, did you read the part of the sentence you quoted that mentioned cultural markers?

I had to go read it again now.. Still funny. The funniest part is his desperate attempt to save face afterwards. This post is pure gold:

Pan keeps saying that his color shouldn't make a difference on his views on minority culture, but then he busts out the YOU KNOW I AM BLACK statement. So? You just said your color shouldn't matter but then you try and get credit from everyone by stating that you are black? Of course everyone eats it up. So Pan being an immigrant part Hispanic part black republican lawyer means his views on the topic are any more right than mine?

The next time we are in a military thread and someone is discussing the military, can I break out the YOU KNOW I WAS IN THE MILITARY---BOOOOMMMMM line and then all of a sudden my points are any more right than the other person discussing the topic?

Or how about when people are talking about the south, Can I end the conversation or get extra points if I bust out the-- YOU KNOW I LIVE IN THE SOUTH.

Talk about denial.

Yeah, you might think that the realisation that you've just been lecturing a black guy on black culture might give you a moment's pause, possibly prompt a bit of self reflection... but not in the War Room damnit!
No retreat! No surrender!

Yup, it truly is a great place.
I'm just going to put the quote into context, so everyone can enjoy the beauty in its entirety:

Sorry I respect you as a poster but as an expert in black living /society, I'll take actual black peoples words over yours.

You know I'm black right?

Panamaican = Panama and Jamaica. Countries with black people.

I just find it weird that in a multiple page thread where someone is talking about the black community, he never mentions that he is part of said community?

Why do I need to mention being black to discuss the black community? My being black doesn't change the content of my postings. It shouldn't even matter.

Pan keeps saying that his color shouldn't make a difference on his views on minority culture, but then he busts out the YOU KNOW I AM BLACK statement. So? You just said your color shouldn't matter but then you try and get credit from everyone by stating that you are black?

The forum wouldn't be the same without these guys.



@klnOmega doesn't post as much, but he was really great in those "science" threads. I always wished that he would dumb his posts down a bit for the laymen. I barely understood what his field was, let alone listening to him talk about it.


This forum as a whole is much better at discussing politics and the like compared to the general populace.

Even the bernie bots, who even though i disagree on everything with, remind me of political Eddie the Eagle's sometimes.

Work Play , Kln and therealdope know physics - so i am going with them.

Thanks for the name drop.
I don't post as much anymore because there for a while, and its still pretty bad, the forum become nothing but race-war threads. Every other thread was about blacklivesmatter, and even threads that had nothing to do with race quickly turned into race baiting crap. I understand that people want to discuss these things, but they leave room for people who want to argue about other issues as well.

What's worse is that he claimed to be an "expert in black living" and that he trusted the words of actual black people over Pan's.
 
In prior threads like these i would normally just rattle off names of posters who more or less agreed with me. Over time though, I've come to appreciate those who simply make legitimate arguments (whether i agree or not). Obviously some are better at this than others but my favorites are:

dontsnitch
JudoThrowFiasco
Panamaican
Thames
Cubo
JVS
Octavian
Ghandi
Zankou
dza76
Greoric

I'm sure there's more im missing but these are the names who immediately pop up.
 
I haven't seen Jack and Pan go out it for a while but those are my favorite exchanges (and two of my fav posters). JDragon, Upa, Ghandi, Old Shadow, Octavion, Megatron (spelling is wrong), Sodapopinski are awesome too. I just recently have read Overpressure's posting and he's very good too. I'm sure I'm leaving a few out. Rip really grew on me. Sohei is a funny left wing poster.

ShrimpinAintEasy is sorely missed and Hollywood Nicky was a lot of fun in here too. Shrimp would eviscerate a thread full of libertarians, it was great. I think he would send Trump fans home crying to mommy as well.
 
@M3t4tr0n and @JDragon get first dibs because they listed me and are great dudes. M3t4tr0n is always humorous in a sarcastic was and JDragon is what I imagine the most even keel, European, logical person to be.

@Jack V Savage - very smart and informative. We've had our rows in the past, but he's always smart. Sometimes argues semantics, which make him seem disingenuous at times and can be a bit of a dick, but overall good guy.

@Anung Un Rama good guy and we see eye to eye a lot. Seem to frequent similar threads as me outside of the WR as well. Sometimes gets dragged down in a pissing contest with JVS that can derail a thread.

@Lead Salad the mod we need but don't deserve. Honestly one of the most even keel logical non partisan people on here. I know he leans right but calls them out for the shit shows that they are currently. It's gotta be depressing to be him this election season. Like me, seems to really enjoy the dynamics of the race.

@Ruprecht another really smart guy. Impressively knowledgeable in US Politics considering hes Australian I think?

@Gandhi smart poster as well. Curious if he's american or not.

@panamaican one of the smartest, most logical posters on this site, and probably my favorite right leaning guy on here. Always reasonable.

@Arkain2K fantastic pbp threads. At least for the republican debates. Don't agree with him a lot, but really appreciate the effort he puts in.

@Thames Great for the left euro insight and very informative, especially on political situations I'm fairly ignorant on.

@Kafir-kun One of the best devils advocates people and has some of the best succinct posts I've seen on this site.

@AnGrYcRoW seems newer but I enjoy his posts. Seems to have similiar thoughts as me.

@theBLADE1 can be a bit nutty at times and gets carried away with the bernie love (coming from a bernie supporter, so don't take it personally). But overall a good guy and a good poster.

@Lustercross and @Quipling and @bad seed are also great posters who I enjoy. Not much more to say about that.

@IDL and @Skip Reming is bizarre and brings the lulz but every now and then have okay points.

@ripskater we agree on very little (other than Jesus is our savior) and I have no idea if he is a troll account or not, but he's always nice and its funny to see him really rile up some people.
