Maybe you even had some social intelligence once. Should I be impressed or should I just be even more disgusted by your Ayn Rand rhetoric?

Tell you what, as soon as rightwingers start to respect people not agreeing to their backwards exclusivness and - most importantly - start respecting people for being people, I might consider some respect. Otherwise I'm treating them in the same way as I treat the christian persecution complex.

Bullshit! I have met, not heard of but met, lots of people that are scamming the system.
I know people that claim to have mental issues that are actually fine and have admitted it to me. They get a crazy check every month.
I knew a guy years ago that had someone break his leg with a bat. He sued an insurance company claiming that he fell down a staircase because of a carpet seam that tripped him. Then he went on disability because the damage to his leg was worse than what he anticipated and he couldn't walk right afterwards.
I worked with a fellow in the Navy that had a minor shoulder problem that was fixed but kept complaining about it so he could get a medical discharge and disability.
There are so many cases like this. I don't have to read about them on the Internet, I have met them face to face.
Maybe Americans are just lazy fucks then.

Did you ignore all the gun threads on this forum? It's practically the only thing he talks about.

It's an emotional time with the election. Things will settle down after it's over.
Other countries don't get this emotional. Maybe because they generally have more choice. I've often wondered why Americans seem so extremely tribal about these things. Normally it's only the politicians and the members of the parties that act like this in the UK.

Believe you me, other countries do as well. The diaper has leaked and the shit of 80 years ago is seeping through everywhere. People start looking for easy solutions and think the rightwingers are presenting them. But nothing is ever easy when it comes to world politics and ultimately they will be the ones being fucked royally up the ass. Be it through wars, be it through bills reducing their civil liberties even further. I've more or less given up to believe in reason when it comes to humanity.

When Trump loses I hope someone comes and takes your guns before you blow your brains out.

lol, when Trump loses, you're going to be laid-back and friendly?
Say, can you get hold of the Donald and let him know? He seems to think that even a brokered convention should result in riots. He could probably use a little of your, ahem, calm demeanor.
