We never swamped the thread or attempted to send the conversation in a preferred tangent, it was merely a response to a poster suggesting a humorous view that piss was a defensive strategy against an off-world invasive unverified species. But I now wonder if ATS were already aware that such self-generated liquid IS a harmful weapon against aliens and they just wished the information not to be broadcast and in such a foolish manner. We'll now never know and I guess that only the character 'Bruce' with his weed-killer backpack of the stale urine could show us the way if he ever reappears again.

(I ain't and never was one of them there!) Seriously, I wonder if it just boils down to the British struggling with the right to bear arms against a self-ignorance of what weapons are used for and actually mean. For many Brits, if there's no weapons about (a generalisation of a perception in Britain), then surely mass-shootings and genuine accidents would be limited? A proposal from a country who wished to keep America under its boot... you wouldn't dare suggest it unless you ignore history and fail to grasp the concept of rights of a people to control their own country and destiny! But... it still seems the idea of disarming oneself because an outside oppressive force requires it for their own benefit remained just 'misunderstood.' Which means something very scary... it means we can agree on many things and disagree on others, a notion that doesn't fare well in the way debate is taught today. A clashing discourse was supposed to unearth treasures that could lead to ideas of.. er, lets say, a well-rounded constitution that benefitted everyone it involved and a belief that protection of oneself, family and country may need more than just a noisy protest or approval from a king.

I've just taken to telling them I have no weapons beyond pointy sticks, which is mostly true. I don't have nearly the collection of firearms that I once had, having settled on just the most effective ones, and let go of the rest, while simultaneously increasing my supply of knives, swords, and spears, and archery tackle. I mean, if I don't go anywhere, I'm no danger in any way to their little monster brat kids, am I? So leave me alone with my pointy sticks and high tech slingshots, and I'll have no cause to build big boomers to fill the personal defense void... But right now, I need more beer, 'cause there are aliens about to do battle with! . RE: From Skeptic Overlord ATS - F2d5thCav - 03-29-2021 @"BIAD" The only thing I can figure is that the UK is where the Left has a reliable cadre of pot-stirrers to engage as needed. There are a couple of Germans who do it as well. I've been acquainted for decades with the German need to perceive themselves as peer-level rivals of the USA, and that need results in peevish behavior on the part of those who carry on the jousting. After attempting over months to engage those people (face to face in the old days) in honest discussion, it just didn't happen. They wanted me to be honest about the problems of the USA but they poo-poo'd any suggestion that Germany had serious social or political issues. As one may imagine, that kind of one-sided exchange got stale in short order. The bulk of the Germans I spoke with simply avoided topics like politics. I was cool with that. For most of my life, I have not been politically engaged and (apparently mistakenly) assumed that most other Americans had the same approach. But the vast bulk of other countries don't seem to have the same need to lecture and (seemingly) moralize, at least on ATS. No idea why it seems to be a thing particular to some countries.

If they monitor everything emails, web searches, an all online activity ATS is a great source for alternate ideas by the members. I got banned (ATS) a few years ago and as far as I was concerned it was all B.S. I sent Skeptic Overlord a message to his in box. Instead of the usual dance around about an idiot mod the ban was lifted. To be honest I do not even remember what it was all about but it was not that I was mad but a matter of principle for me. Being old I do not care if some three letter agency knows what kind of barbecue sauce I am thinking about buying but sometimes ???? It does piss me off that the so called civilized world has gone in this direction.

There needs to be something for the media to sell, so invent it, it is fair game after all. Ahhh....... Asians, how can we Villainize them ...! ? There is a vast difference between "Asians" and "The CCP". I believe the deliberate blurring of that difference is a campaign by Left wingers to try to herd Asians in America into their sheep fold of victimhood, an attempt to lump them in with the CCP just because they are Asian. Trump was not at economic war with China per se, but rather with the CCP. China is not "bad" or "uncivilized" - they have one of the oldest civilizations on Earth, one of the original ones, and probably the only one still going from those days until now. It's the CCP, and the American Left, mucking everything up for them. So Marxists promote the narrative that the CCP IS China, but it ain't. It's just another flavor of Marxist organization, separate from the Chinese people. The CCP is no more "China" than the Kremlin is Russia, or Congress or BidenHarris is America. Take that, Beijing! Kiss my ass and have a nice day! .

I geuss that was just one of the better smear campaigns they could think of! I think it's pretty clear that they didn't step in because they had orders from Langley to leave us alone and give us a free hand to run those folks to ground! Just ask Judy and Wayne - I'm sure they'll agree that was the case! And Wayne had those warehouses full of his books with the CIA seals slapped across the doors to consider... Just as clearly, Wordpress didn't get the memo, which is of course why they were able to dislodge us there with such a lightweight assault... And if it hadn't been for that damned Barnes-and-Noble Wiccan running around Cornwall flinging hexes about willy-nilly in an effort to hit one of us with one, we coulda been contenders! I'm still fearfully waiting on that night time knock at the door from Interpol, but maybe Langley took care of that for us, too... .

I suspect in those cases they got hit with temporary bans. Brilliant post, my friend!! I would guess a couple of accounts were professionally managed. At least one very prominent member had numerous accounts ... the writing style was a dead giveaway ... and he moved from one account to the next almost permanently. I never saw an account of his closed-out, and when I asked about him specifically ... I was answered, but with a non-answer. Have always wondered what happened when the mod-rift occurred. Some real a-holes became scarce. Some (not enough) mod tags went away. Sometimes, when I'm looking through older threads, I see banned members ... and all I can see in the thread after that is the tragedy of a lost account. I know I would never look back at ATS if I was banned. There are good people posting over there. But most of those same people have also posted over here. It's harder to participate on this board, but I sure do like our members. |
