I don’t remember the “classy period”. It’s always been a Wild West sort of place where people said what they really meant. You know.... genuine.

Well, maybe "classy" was the wrong term. But a modicum of respectfulness was had in the past.

I just want you to know that I am more virtuous than all of you.

You’re welcome.

I didn’t care for the guy, but I can’t rejoice in the fate of a lost soul. Very sad.

Thank you

I am starting to wonder if a majority of the celebrity suicides are actually Arkancides. When Chris Cornell died last year, it was rumored that he had discovered disturbing info about child trafficking. And then his buddy Chester Bennington died. It was rumored that Chris had told Chester all about what he had uncovered.
If harvey weinstein was such a prolific sexual predator, then it stands to reason that he could have been involved with procuring children for sex. In the article, Anthony Bourdain says that his girlfriend was abused by weinstein. Could Bourdain &/or Kate Spade have found out other information about weinstein that was never supposed to see the light of day? We all know that weinstein & the clintons were buddy buddies.

...instead of confronting people in person with cogent arguments and convincing people to vote for conservatives (which I do).

And when was your last convert?

Many of you here have yet to learn that when your opposition will not submit to the civilized contest of rational argumentation there is nothing left but "politics by other means."

We wised up. Being nice is how we got here. We are in the political fight for our lives here. If you've not the stomach for it then stay home.

How many doors have you knocked on in your neighborhood, campaigning for your conservative candidate?

I knock on doors in my neighborhood for my Republican candidate, up here in deep blue Northern Virginia. I talk to them about voting for him. I've hopefully convinced a few.

What the heck is a "boomer" anyways..? I always thought it was someone born between 1945 and 1950...(?)

“But a modicum of respectfulness was had in the past. “

Yes, I too remember those 3 days in October of 2001.

We’ve never held our adversaries in esteem. We’ve always driven them before us and enjoyed the lamentations of their women.

Bourdain was always entertaining and I will miss him. I don’t think his politics was a big part of him personally but more of his “act”. But if Kathy Griffin dies, sorry but I am going to dance on that dirt.

I live in a conservative county that goes Republican by huge margins. I live here by choice, I moved here to be around conservatives. I actually voted with my feet. Get it?

I also don't see the connection between this POS death and campaigning.

Your virtue signalling is over the top. Sickening.

1997 and earlier?
Because it’s pretty much par for the course since other than pages being short by about 200 replies.
