I'm going to open up discussion on the riots happening in the United States ***READ. THIS. THREAD.***
Now that it is open, a simple, serious question:

What is the political mind-set of politicians that allow violent assaults, arson, looting etc. To go unchallenged in their cities?

The normal rewards of money and power do not seem to apply... So, why?

Thanks Para. I have pretty much kept to myself and make sure I learn from everyone here. What I have learned being on this forum for a while is while we all have different opinions, thoughts and beliefs, you keep us on track and those that can't and go off the rails pay the price. While it goes without saying, we thank you for that. Now we will be able to talk and see the truth in it and not what the loons what us to believe.

Mr. Kook
Para,

Thank you for opening this topic for discussion in the future thread.

Something I have found helps me keep track of things is I have been keeping a daily journal of major news items and event covering certain topics and writing my thoughts on those topics at the time. The thread on the CCP Virus is a great example of a crowd sourced version of this. It was actually your Trump First Rate Ass Clown thread that got me in the habit of doing this. I have been re-reading my thoughts on both the current unpleasantness and the CCP Virus and doing so has helped me to maintain a firm handle on both the reality of these situations and the popular narrative. I look forward to reading the forum's take on current events.




Thank you President Trump.

I’ve been getting my information about this insurrection on another forum, and I’ve missed the insightful, intelligent, and well–written posts for which SIGforum renowned.

Thank you for setting up a dedicated thread on the violent riots that have gripped our Nation.

Yes, you did. Could I have been any clearer? Could I? How? Did you need more bolded or ALL CAPS text to get your attention?

Some of you guys have to get it through your head- READ my posts. Read the ENTIRE post- all the annoying letters and words and stuff. I know it's a chore, but you can do it.

Looking forward to this as this is my go to site for news. To have 1 thread will be great.
The only other site I go to for news is just too busy to sift through the chaff....
Thank you sir.

First off, props to Para for keeping it classy..I have been here a long time and it is my go to place for news and INFORMED opinions on all matters...
I also appreciate the venue this forum offers in regards to open, civil discussions on topics I am not free to talk about in public..This , to me , is imperative to having a free place to speak and discuss (with civility).
free speech and free minds go hand in hand


thanks, shawn

OP read and will comply.





If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

c1steve, you deleted your post. You know, the one where you were asking questions about the riots? And now, the net effect is that it looks like I'm admonishing a different member. Not cool.


My response to you, c1steve, before you deleted your post:

Did you read my entire post? It seems not.

Guys, this ain't rocket surgery. R-e-a-d my initial post.

This is why I said that I would be opening up a thread "this week" and not "tomorrow" because it's going to take some time to get this across to some of you guys, and if I hadn't anticipated it, I would be astonished at this point.

Go back and read the first post in this thread, please.

Not reading and comprehending posts can get you in big trouble around here. Just ask that "Welcome from Derby City" half-wit. Read and comprehend, please.
