Favorite War Room poster

[Devout Pessimist]

man.... i though we were friends.

Just Kidding lol

my favorite poster is Panamaican, because he is very moderate and listen to others opinion.

along with Ripwarrior, Ripskater, Rex Kwon Do, Kong, atheist, leklok, Shadowpriest.

You are one of my favorites, but like I said before, it is difficult to list all of the posters I like.

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.

What ever happened to Schrimpin?

Michaelangelo is my fav.

We got dubbs like 5 years back for a dada5000 thread. Smart, funny guy.

I don't know for sure, but I recall a poster saying he got into it with TCK and made some allegedly racist remarks. Something along the lines of he wasn't really black.

That's 2nd hand though, maybe someone else can chime in.

 

[Final Rehab]

I thought he posted a picture of a white guy in blackface for TCK in a "how do you picture other Warroomers" thread.

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 read it and am now asking you to clarify. I'm pretty sure your vocab is sufficient to accommodate that.

Meh, OK. So, to some people, your position on guns is a sign of where you stand on a cultural divide. It has no policy significance, but it's telling rubes that you're on their side or not on their side.

Here was my post:

"Guns are a pretty irrelevant issue in American politics in reality, but some people are super passionate about it as a kind of cultural marker (or because they whole-heartedly consume a lot of right-wing media that presents it as a major issue)."

To be fair, Dems tend to support "assault weapon bans", which are nothing more than window dressing. Banning pistol grips, flash suppressors, bayonet lugs to keep people safe? AWBs are stupid (I'm okay with limits on magazine capacity), but I wouldn't vote based on whether or not a candidate supports banning essentially cosmetic features on guns. I like guns. I would love to own an RK 62. It's not an important issue though. Owning the rifle I would like to own would be part of a hobby, not defending against government tyranny.

What does have policy significance, in your opinion? I'd like to see the difference since you're not making any sense to me due to the fact the Democrats can't shut up about guns (both the voters and the candidates). In fact the whole manufacturer immunity law is being discussed quite a bit and Hilary is using Bernie's past vote on the matter against him in order to propel herself to the nomination.

Are you saying the gun-owners and those who believe in the 2nd Amendment share a culture? Otherwise I don't know what you mean by marker. Is gay rights a cultural marker?

 

[Michaelangelo]

I'll give a vote to Colby

IDL is fun to chat with. he can connect even an obama fart back to the NWO somehow.

panamerican, Jack savage, zankou and atheist always have great posts.

ripskater and tkd because we disagree on almost everything. they have a third horseman now but i cannot recall his name....cujo or something.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

I didn't even know who Dudu5000 was 5 years ago. You're a hardcore.

That has not been my perception. In the current climate, defenders of the status quo are pretty numerous and insanely passionate, while opponents don't care much about it. So I see virtually no chance of any change. It's not something that most left-leaning voters care about.

"Those who believe in the 2nd Amendment" is a pretty funny way to put it. I don't think there's anyone who could accurately be described as not believing in it; though there are probably some who don't agree with it and lots of people disagree about the meaning of it. Anyway, it's a cultural marker because it's a completely insignificant issue in reality, but taking a firm position on it shows where you stand generally. And at this point in time, sure, gay rights is another of those issues. We're still seeing gay rights under attack at the state level so it can matter to some extent, but when a national-level politician makes a stink about it, it just about firing up the rubes. And the notion that discriminating against gays is OK is becoming so unpopular that gay rights doesn't really work the other way (that is, if you declare yourself in favor of it, it doesn't really say much about where you stand generally--you're probably on the left but not necessarily).

He is doing one of his usuals, he is about to go all in and play the race card. Simple jack is just a little scared because even he knows that guns are out of his element and he gets tooled extra hard when he strays from economics

Give that fighter a break, he must have trained in the Marshall Islands for this fight and probably got radiation poisoning.

I guess we disagree. The Democratic candidates for President (in my perception) have spent a significant amount of time discussing guns. It stands to reason they are doing so because that's what their constituents are interested in hearing about. For example.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/02/05/h...over-red-hot-immigration-topic-in-dem-debate/

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders barely mentioned immigration in Thursday’s Democratic presidential primary debate. The duo brushed aside the red hot topic that vaulted Donald Trump to the top of the polls, to discuss campaign finance reform and income inequality.

“So there are three big lifts that you’ve talked about: immigration, gun reform, climate change,” MSNBC moderator Chuck Todd said to Clinton in the only immigration-related question of the debate. “What do you do first? Because you know the first one is the one you have the best shot at getting done.”

As for the cultural marker, to me that sounds like fancy talk for stereotyping.
