I’m an NRA rifle instructor, a range safety office, and a former Coast Guard officer.

I grew up in a state full of libtards. Through my experience I became conservative (Reagan and Rush did the job).

I’m not sure you’re old enough to participate in this forum. It’s clear you don’t know much about indoctrination, and no even less about what it takes to get people to trip over the truth for themselves.

Nobody wants to be told what to do, about anything. However, you can create situations where people end up getting ‘mugged by reality’. You can be told the truth a million times, but you don’t embrace it until you have to.

That basically describes most of the left.

Your use of invective gives away your mental age, by the way. You want to sit at the grown up table and talk about weighty matters, you’ll learn to be polite.

Isn't that special!

It’s clear you don’t know much about indoctrination...

I can recognize that it's the very thing you're attempting with your replies.

...you'll learn to be polite.

Bite me!

I'll draw the indoctrination picture for you...

Nobody wants to be told what to do, about anything.

Yet you want to control my behavior...
...you'll learn to be polite.

Looking right through you.

Lewin's Change Management Model
His model is known as Unfreeze – Change – Refreeze, refers to the three-stage process of change he describes.

I’m not forcing you to do anything. You WILL learn to be polite . . . someday.

Education is painful, expensive, or both. It’s a pity when wisdom doesn’t benefit the person acquiring it. Every path gets straightened, and every hill wears down.

My WISH for you is you learn this before you end up living with the consequences.

I can’t make you see what you are doing to yourself, which ironically was my point. You are the perfect example of what I’m talking about.

I can spend all day telling you that eventually, someone is going to sabotage your career, key your car, poison your dog, steal your wife, or ruin your relationship with your kids unless you learn to communicate with adults like an adult. I ALSO know that if I do that it almost guarantees you are NEVER going to learn the benefits of polite exchange or ideas and experience and I’m almost dooming you to the very things I hope never happen to you.

As such, I’m sorry.

I really do hope someday reality doesn’t mug you in some significant, irreversible way. I’m entirely aware that at any given time, my opinions, ideas, or experience may cause me to express something that is completely full of shyte. Because of this, I am grateful every day that there are folks that will legitimately call me on it and patiently explain what I’ve missed, or what I haven’t considered.

So there you go. You’ll learn it or you won’t. It’s the original reason we decided history class was worth offering to kids - maybe they’ll learn from other’s mistakes.
