I was joking around to let it go, lets be honest, you're moving goalposts. from the US can take over the world. Crunktd said "no you cant". To you: "but there could be a draw".


i'm not moving the goalposts because I didn't claim the us could take over the world, coolmoney18 did, to which i said he's wrong, as is crunktd, but cm18 is more wrong.

breaking up a false binary isn't moving the goalposts, because the goalposts that existed initially were a fallacy. in this case with CM18 being 100% wrong, and crunktd being only wrong IF he's claiming the world could beat the US. and in any case neither seem to have accounted for a stalemate, which is the logical conclusion. i wouldn't say there "could be a draw" i would say "there can only be a draw"

anyhow, this deeply pointless semantic conversation is a step up from the original topic of "america sucks" lol

im a happily married man to a smokeshow. and my ego is silly big.

you don't have to speak softly to carry a big stick, in your pants.


Lol, touche.
However, I don't think that's the commonplace and even in situations where it is true.
What's the point?

There's a difference between having an inflated ego, and a level of confidence with humility.

Having a sense of confidence and humility is infinitely better.
Nobody likes to hang out with people that try to boast themselves up all the time.
So maintaining that level, will give you the best company. In all spectrums of life.
Successful people can let their own success speak for itself. I mean, why would you have to prove anything to anybody?

:rofl:

TheSnipa is alright for different reasons.


But at least the new posters out here in this topic do give me a laugh here and there... Still lots to be learned though, before jumping to conclusions.

TheSnipa, I agree with him at times and disagree with him. I think hes a good guy. OP, I haven't agreed with him yet. He makes himself sound like a jackass but this is also the internet. Kind of to be expected, although i dont understand the point in it. He could genuinely be a pretty good guy in real life though as well.

Anyways, probably getting off topic, but I think this poem captures what I think is the ideal way to live.
Which, I think few people actually try to emulate (and I too don't always emulate it). We don't really live in a society or have an upbringing that encourages it.



If—
BY RUDYARD KIPLING

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

i would only say that online is my outlet to treat people like i want because in real life it has dire consequences.

i dont act at all on here like i do IRL.

not that im offended or anything, i just disagree that there's a connection between forum behavior and irl behavior, let alone how much cuzz you slam.

the longer you stay in PARD the closer to agreeing with me 50% of the time you'll get. even for most other centrists i rarely crack 50%, except maybe sirlance whom i nearly always agree with.

I agree, my post above I think reflects that we likely share the same viewpoint with that.

It's the internet. It's really not a true reflection of how a person conducts themselves in reality.

Hell, Ben Shapiro says he gets death threats and awful messages all the time. However, whenever he's out and about in the real world, he says he basically never receives hate and people are really kind to him.
(Exemption might be when going to give a speech and people absorb a crowd mentality. haha).
