Cad you're turning into a buffoon and you don't even realize it. You're becoming the opposite side of the same coin of a minority of the vocal morons you despise. You spend too much time in an echo chamber of hatred and now you're even employing the same tactics you despise them for employing...

Yea this conversation has gone on long enough.

I was asking him what it even meant, and then asked him if he would act the way he's acting right now out in the real world. Because if yes, he'd probably get a lot of blank stares and strange looks. And the real reason you asked me how much I made was because you thought I was a bottom feeder...

"Everyone has equal opportunity" "That's not true but why do you think that?" "Because of this and this" "Ok and what about this and this?" "So everyone is stuck with no way out and everyone should get a handout. Right Khane?" "No... where did I say that, your original statement is untrue...

Yea uhh.... exactly. I was saying "This shit exists... why are you denying it?" and then I asked a few questions. That's what sets you off? That's the level of conversation that makes you want to scream about privelege. You even quoted me saying I didn't care. So again, where did I actually...

Uhh... alright then. Your wife's a nurse right? And you're a satellite tech for the military? I remember this from the what do you do thread. I believe you said you make about 80k/yr and your wife about 110k/yr. That's what I'm basing my statement off of. Suffice it to say I'm top 2-3% in...

The post you quoted was me trying to understand your definition. But you said I had used this offensive "check your privelege" language elsewhere. So where is that?

I don't even know where the two of you come up with this shit. I probably make more than you and your wife combined a_skeleton_03. And what does that have to do with anything?

So can you point me to where I implied this "check your privelege" nonsense? I wonder if you'd talk to a peer, co-worker, or even superior like that outside of the internet. Would those words pass your lips if you and I were having this conversation in a bar? What's the cutoff on this "check...

You know what else is ridiculous? The Anti crowd shoving the "Fight the feminazis" bullshit down my throat and pretending anything even a little liberal in belief or speech is a goddamn call to arms to take away all your freedom.

So you think it's bad advice to understand where people from other walks of life are coming from? People saying shit like "You should realize you're fortunate" and "There is always someone who has it worse" are in ancient proverbs Cad. What are you even talking about? That shit is rotting your...

You tell me. I've never seen a "blue hair" in the wild and pay them absolutely no mind on the internet.

What am I asking you to do?

Well how else is a thread titled "I do not believe in equality" supposed to go?

That's what I don't get. That's the second time you've said "check your privelege". You gotta stop going to those threads here man, how many people have you run into out in the real world who actually think and speak that way? Someone who would actually say "check your privelege"? I already told...

I'm not suggesting anything. Several people here implied or flat out said everyone has the same opportunity. I said "I don't agree" and asked questions to see why they felt that way. Then I gave some off the cuff examples of things that exist in this country that prove it isn't equal. Then I got...

And so, these children who can't make their own decisions, and have parents who never give them opportunity because they are denying it... don't have equal opportunity. The opportunity literally is not there. Are you serious right now?

You're agreeing in some weird roundabout way. Like you don't want to admit that your surroundings, upbringing and mentors (or lack thereof) doesn't contribute to opportunity, education, and adjustment to polite society. EDIT: I mean... you say they have the same opportunities and then in the...

In case you want to keep trying to argue an indefensible position and come to his rescue Cad. That is what I was arguing against.

Did you read a_skeleton_03's accusation the post above?

Never said everyone who is stuck is stuck through no fault of their own. Never said people can't overcome adversity to make something of themselves. Never said it's impossible to rise about your current situation. I said some people have much larger hurdles to overcome, and some people do in...

You have no idea how I think about my own life. All I've been doing in this thread is pointing out that you're either out of touch, or being willfully ignorant by pretending everyone has the same opportunity in this country. I never said I cared, I never said I'm trying to fix it or that it's...

You're honest about it, and I have no problem with that. I am not an altruistic person either. What I do have a problem with is people being willfully ignorant about reality just because they don't want to admit some people are just fucked. I don't know why they can't admit that, maybe it makes...

Oh on that tired argument? You gonna pretend just like Cad that because he's been in 6 schools that's representative of the entire population of schools? That just because he has a kid and I don't he's an authority on the state of every school district in this country? EDIT: You start to...

Maybe that shithead contractor or landscape business owner shouldn't give them jobs. They're here and employed because they get jobs. And those same shithead business owners don't pay taxes/unemployment/worker's comp/insurance because they pay those illegals under the table. EDIT: Or all...

"The world needs ditch diggers" "What if there are no local ditch digger jobs?" "Move!" "What if they can't afford it, because they're ditch diggers, making ditch digger money" "Maybe they shouldn't be ditch diggers!" "But I thought you said we needed them?" "Fuck em, they're just lazy"...

No, I get it a_skeleton_03. You think everyone has an equal shake. I'm giving you guys the benefit of the doubt here and just assuming you're out of touch. The alternative is sad.

"My skilled labor job paid for my move because my skillset is highly sought after and requires knowledge and experience. Therefore anyone can move, and it can be done easily and at no cost to them!"

I see. Fucking "ground water".

200k in repairs? Why even bother? How much of that can you recoup?

Ya win some and ya lose some a_skeleton_03. You have the same opportunity to get that disability, you know where your bootstraps are.

Well it certainly would be the needless "fool the viewers" trope because as she was trying to pull herself out of the water she was wincing and writhing in pain. And nobody else was around to see that.

I'm done for the day after it happens. Don't feel like trying anything more. The stress test was just start walking on a treadmill at a slow pace and they gradually increase the speed and the incline. It's never happened during the stress test because their stress tests seem aimed at 70 year...

I can't even be bothered to set up my Poseidus farming ring anymore when I'm home. And those mounts sell for 600k+ on my server. Last one I sold went for 700k. I've lost all will!

One does not mention Ian Mchane's work without mentioning Deadwood sir.

You can clean the mold yourself as well if you're inclined to. The mold and mildew remover spray bottles/cans you can buy at local grocery stores or home depot/lowe's work, and work well. I think just straight bleach would work too. Those companies that do mold removal don't really have any...

How can we tie this into the marriage thread properly so it doesn't become a derail? What does a zucchini look like? What can you do with a zucchini... besides eat it? If you get a zucchini from your neighbor "Black Charlie", should you let your wife eat it? Will she only ever want his...

Butternut would like a word with you.

Long story incoming. About 5 years ago a group of my friends and my girlfriend at the time wanted to do a tough mudder race. Several of my friends had done a few before, I had gone and watched them and decided it was kind of stupid and pointless and didn't want to do one but ultimately my...

I've hit the point where I don't even feel like logging in to clear out my garrison missions anymore.
