I don't know in what context this is being stated... but just so you know, this is a pretty common theme among Argentines. My mom is from Argentina (as is everyone from that side of the family). There is a belief from Argentines that they are the superior culture in South America. It has nothing to do with race or something like that... not sure what was being emphasized here... but it's well-understood among South Americans.

Honestly... Patrick. He said *exactly* how I feel about literally everything he just said. I'm glad you had me watch that.
- Whenever Democrats do something wrong, the media covers for them and completely ignores it. They use every inch of their power to cover up. Sympathetic tech companies will manipulate their search engines to eliminate things unfavorable to Democrats (this is fact, by the way). The media will have a directive to not address certain topics, and to downplay certain things. There's an amazing concert of fabrication and subversion to ignore truth. Perfect examples... the laptop from
- They absolutely despise anyone who isn't like them. You piss me off sometimes... but I'm quite sure we could have a beer if I was up there one day, and we would have a really good time talking about poutine, hockey, and the fact that 80% of the X-Files scenes were filmed in Canada. But most radical leftists have been taught that "we" (Republicans, anyone who isn't an ally to the radical left) is not only abhorrent, but that we should be eliminated from society.
- Radical leftists don't just indoctrinate, they manipulate laws to spread their vile propaganda... everything from pushing the most extreme sexual fetishes to children, to normalizing pedophilic behavior. More than 50% of my daughter's school is "trans." Nearly every one of my daughter's friends goes by a different pronoun and a completely different name than what they were given. They're all non-binary, and their "preferred gender" changes almost daily. When talking to my daughter, she uses the term "they" and "them" all the time to refer to individual friends... and it drives me absolutely insane. This is abhorrently incorrect English. I tell her to treat everyone as they want to be treated, and I tell her she should respect these individuals and use whatever pronouns they want with them... but around me, do not use they / them as a singular.
Anyways... the hypocrisy just disgusts me. The COVID stuff is beyond me. We know emphatically that this virus came from Wuhan. We have proof (released from the IC) that something exactly like it was FUNDED BY THE US, and made / tested in Wuhan. We know it came from a Wuhan wet market... but no seems to want to piece two and two together. We know the Democrats used COVID to their advantage by manipulating every law in every state they could get away with to push mail-in-ballots to people who likely otherwise would never have voted. Ballot harvesting, all of the things that are illegal, and were deemed UNCONSTITUTIONAL by 4 different state's supreme courts (the four states that Biden won by less than a few thousand votes each). I mean, every single situation... manipulation, subversion, and indoctrination.
But he's right... the Democrats only had the culture war to support them, because fiscally / economically, or even globally... their policies always fail... ALWAYS. The only reason why they're losing now is because they've gone so far off the deep end, that now different "factions" of the left are eating eachother. The Anarcho-Communists are gun-toting, who are at-ends with the peacenicks, who are at ends with the cultural Jewish who are now at ends with the Black Lives Matter people, who are at ends with the pro-illegal immigration people, who are at ends with the pro LGBTQI+2SLA people, who are at ends with the radical Islamic faction... and the list goes on.
I like Miele not Milei they actually are by far the best appliances we have a dishwasher a dryer and a stove first heard of Miele on super yachts as list prices new are 2 or 3 k and up up up so I hunt used stuff
south american dictators I have no use for esp rump clones
The 1% are the ONLY ones that have power in Argentina right now. The top 25% have been stripped of all their wealth BY the Socialist policies that the 1% was only too happy to help implement. This is what you don't understand... and once you allow yourself to see it, you would become rabid against anyone espousing socialism or social justice.
Ok Patrick... since you always like to make this about me, or side-skirt the issue. Let's talk about actual issues instead. Please discuss ONE THING that you disagree with him on. Just one... like, I've never seen you even begin to discuss any of the issues. Every post of yours seems to be about your dissatisfaction with others opinions, but never actually discussing those opinions. Why are you even in here if you don't actually want to discuss ANYTHING about politics?

Sez the guy who repeatedly insisted that one forum member here had Asperger's while another forum member was a drug addict and mentally ill. You just love to psychologically "diagnose" forum members (to what, try and embarrass them?) who don't ascribe to your political beliefs. You appear unable to grasp the notion that normal rational human beings might disagree with you. Learn to accept the fact that what might seem right for you is not necessarily the best course of action for everyone else.

There's a need for expert oversight of the research projects involving viruses. But this paragraph from "82" is misleading. The origin(s) of the Covid virus are still a matter of serious debate among scientists and subject matter experts. Here's an example:
"This little theory went to market"

Using the scientific method to debunk the persistent claim that Covid-19 originated in Wuhan as a lab leak.
It's definitely a "read," pegging the needle gauge on the face of the proverbial Read-o-Meter all the way out to the "15 minutes" mark. But if you have more than just a passing interest in what's being said about the origin(s) of Covid, I strongly recommend this article, which is newly published.
I had to enter my email address to get access to it. It's my one "freebie."

Ok, so do I take it then that you're not going to discuss any issues at all, and once again you're going to just talk about the individuals?
Patrick, I'm going to ask a serious question. You spend a lot of time in the Politics and Religion forum, but now that I think about it, I can't seem to recall a single time you've actually discussed anything related to the topic. It seems your only point here is to play defense for other "team mates?" One of the reasons why I have a lot of respect for Rinse is, even though I disagree with at least half of the things he posts, he at least actually discusses topics.
What is the point of you spending any time in this forum, if you aren't actually going to talk politics and / or religion? Serious question?
Carl Jung was as much of a "giant" as Sigmund Freud, in so far as the theory of psychoanalysis and the practice of psychoanalytic therapy, although Jung's name and legacy are not as widely familiar to the general public as that of Sigmund Freud.
Perhaps "82" should consider finding a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist, to help him understand why he has developed this blind spot in his psyche about the importance of Carl Jung. (A Freudian-oriented psychotherapist, obviously, would be the wrong choice.)

Yeah, I'm not sure why this bothers Patrick so much. With respect to Boondawg, he made MANY posts indicating that he suffered from depression, and also talked regularly about his drug use, so as I said... that's by Boonie's own admission. I think as (maybe it was Willigoat said), this has everything to do with being wrong or right, and nothing at all to do with the subject, which is why Patrick keeps going on about this. For Fredtoast... that was totally by my own opinion, as I stated. Fred never denied it, but was super-quick to deny pretty much anything else that was addressed. So this kind of tells me what I suspected.
I'm not so big in psychology... but to be honest, I do find it rather fascinating. I might decide to get a Masters in Forensic Psychology, which would be completely useless more or less for my current career. At lest my law degree was slightly useful in what I do. My great great uncle was a very famous psychologist and theorist, who's name I won't mention because we have the same last name... and I prefer to keep that out. While I'm not necessarily born with whatever he was born with, it's possible we have the same inherent interest in the human psyche.
Javier Milei has signed an agreement with “Sound of Freedom” producer Eduardo Verastegui to combat child trafficking in the country. I don't know what this will get accomplished but he is the first leader to take a stance on this matter. https://www.longisland-ny.c...e-child-trafficking/

Your lack of memory isn't my problem. I've expressed my opinion "related to the topic" in political discussion in O/T and P&R going on 24 years now.

I mean, certainly you can do that. But it seems as though you've got some wild hypocrisy here. All you do is criticize everyone on here, and shield Rinse and defend Ray B... without actually ever talking about any topics. I question then what you even get out of this... or do you feel it's your duty to run interference for Rinse and Ray (if that's what you think you're doing)?

Maybe he's the first national leader that has felt a need to speak to a question in the minds of many in his nation: "Is he for child trafficking or against it?"

It is a serious problem, unfortunately. I was an advisor at US SOUTHCOM in Doral for 3 years, I'll leave it at that, and human trafficking, especially "child" trafficking, was a serious issue. SOUTHCOM was there to support FBI and other organizations that looked to fight this. The poorer the nation, the more susceptible a population is to exploitation. Especially in places like Honduras or Guatemala, you have so many people who live out in the hills that have no internet, not even a cell phone (which is the first thing most impoverished people get before running water and electricity)... and very uneducated parents who are willing to just "give up" their teenage girl for the promise of a better life (for the girl). It's horrible. So anyway, I'm glad he's making a stand on it. I don't remember or know whether or not it was a particular issue in Argentina, but I'd imagine that with the way their economy has gotten worse over the years, it's likely become more real of an issue for them.
If nothing else, I appear to be doing a great job of irritating you.
Tell me Todd... what do you get out of "this"? Do you honestly think you've changed the political mindset of a single person here since you joined this forum?

Is that something you enjoy doing then? Seems rather immature if I'm being straightforward. No, it doesn't irritate me, but I do find what you're doing here psychologically fascinating. That is, never actually discussing a topic (ever), but continuing to spend your time on here as if perhaps to convince yourself that your views are not wrong.

The point of a political discussion is to debate both sides of the argument. I'm here because in doing so, I learn things that I might not otherwise be exposed to. Every once in a while, Rinse posts something that enlightens me. In all other cases as I seek to defend my stance, I learn more about the subject which ends up reinforcing my views, or challenging them. So you know... this is *normal* behavior in a debate, and it can be intellectually stimulating.
See, there you go again... posting absolute made-up bullshit.
Round and round you go. It's possible that you actually believe the things you're saying, but that doesn't make them true. I can't remember the last time you actually discussed an issue... all of your responses seem to be about the other person personally on their conveyance of the topic. And then you throw out wild and broad claims to contrary ... like, "... posting absolute made up bullshit." I mean... YOU are well aware that you're doing this. I'm aware you're doing this. So the only one you're trying to convince otherwise is yourself.

Before we put the question "If the question should be put," should we not first put the question "If the question of 'If the question should be put,' should be put?"
It would seem that recursion demands it.

Why are you moving the goalposts? Patrick doesn't have to have started any New Topic to express an opinion. He has always had the option of using the Reply or Quote functionality to express an opinion within a Topic that was started by someone else.
I never said he did. The point is that he always disapproves of the opinions of conservatives and is not interested in political discussion.
EXACTLY the attitude of most cons about the rump or the DOGMA
rump did what exactly that he claimed when or how
I see lying 100% for the 1% and his tax cheating
no wall but for a small bit we paid for not them one cent as claimed = lying no reduced debts 6 trillion more = lying no health care plan as claimed = lying tax cuts for the 1% but no balance or red ink reduction ever = lying
He is going to turn the Falkland Islands into a haven for child trafficking. Is that what you want to hear?

It took me a while, and honestly... that's on me. I kept seeing his posts, and not a single one of them had any real content, they were just posts of disapproval... usually attacking the person saying it, or they way in which it was said, or some other nuance. But never, ever, anything that actually covered any kind of discussion on the actual topic itself. This is unlike Patrick in every other thread... so it leads me to believe that this is an area with which Patrick has strong views, but lacks the background in. And that's fine... I'll just, out of respect for my own sanity, ignore any post from him that isn't actually about the topic.
