Goodbye

I don't want to be accused of "leaving in a huff," so I'd like to thoughtfully list my reasons for leaving the Watch for good. Two days after getting the Covid vaccine, my blood pressure went to 200/110, I passed out, and had to be taken to the emergency room. I almost died. That was July ...

Do you think that by demonstrating how willing you are to twist facts for the single sole purpose of saying something negative about someone, you are making a good case for yourself? Wayfriend, from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely apologize for the obvious and heinous crime of suggesting the me...

even if you and WF disagree with a particular person's take on them You just keep having hot takes on my position, in discussions I am not even participating in. I don't think that that is a positive indicator how "discussions" would proceed. You called our discussion “propaganda� and...

Savor Dam, are you saying that no one in your household got COVID? If so, you’re one of only 6%. Despite everything we did to prevent transmission, 94% still got it. link So that’s why we forced so many to stay home, lose their jobs, mask up, vaccinate, get kicked out of the military, thrown off...

I didn't provide links because those are things I can name off the top of my head. Honestly, they should be common knowledge by now, if everyone was paying attention (except for the report from the Department of Energy, which was breaking news). Number 4, for instance, merely refers to the fact that...

The two main issues I've brought up is the world being on the brink of WWIII and what lessons we can learn from having endured a global pandemic. These are issues that affect every human on earth. I can understand not wanting to debate politics, but I don't understand calling these life-and-death is...

I agree with wf. The new current events topic seems to be full of all of the same shit that I hated about the Tank. So I'll just avoid it. I'll let you all have your little topic for now. -jay I thought it was the incivility and petty bickering you didn't like. No one is doing that there. Are you s...

WF, I'm done. You're welcome to tell us your position on Ukraine in the Current Events thread. Since there are conservatives on either side of the issue, there is plenty of room for agreement and disagreement, without the fear of being contradicted merely because of your political alignment. Come jo...

Fist, see my edit above. I think you posted while I was making it. I propose a truce. I will agree that saying "Catholicism is evil and/or Satanic" is out of bounds if everyone else else involved will agree that this is just as bad as reflexively calling me a racist, or calling Republicans...

It's ironic that the thread everyone was worried about--the Current Events thread where we're discussing politics--isn't the least bit tense or uncivil. We're disagreeing with each other, but the thread is tame. I think the blame game is the problem. 'Catholics are servants of Lucifer who are leadin...

I went straight from BCS series finale to rewatching BB from the beginning, and I’m even more convinced BCS was better. But get back to us when you finish.

Saying that the actions of the Catholic Church are evil when they covered up child predators isn't an insult. That's what they *did.* I can have an opinion on those facts. The presence of a member of that church ("right in front of them") doesn't take away my right to have an opinion. I'm ...

Yeah, WF's link is wrong. The exponent isn't the number of times the base is multiplied by itself. If 2 to the power of 3 is "2 x 2 x 2" then the base is being multiplied by itself twice, not three times. There are only two multiplication symbols here, so the act of multiplying is done twi...

I’m not denying that ‘woke’ has a negative connotation. But ‘woke world of lies’ is about a belief system, not a member of the Watch. A belief system can’t be insulted. I could call that belief system ‘BS’ if I wanted, and that’s certainly more harsh than the original quote. We hav...

There is no question that these issues are contentious. Of course I can feel the tension; I'm not blind to it, and I don't like, either. But the only way to say that this is not civil is to side with one belief system against the other, agreeing with the idea that repudiating a belief system is tant...

So we've gone from "I'm allowed to legitimately criticise something" to "I'm allowed to insult people?" We merely disagree on whether it's an insult. The most negative definition of 'woke' I could find from Merriam Webster was this: politically liberal (as in matters of racial a...

Z's Blatant Copy of Syl's Thread

So here are some shows I've enjoyed recently, but they probably don't all deserve their own thread. You . That's the name of the show. It's awesome. First season is the best, but the current season (4) is off to a good start. It's like Dexter but much better writing and characters. Yellowstone in al...

I thought he was saying that insults are not allowed, and therefore, it is not allowed to say that we think that the Catholic Church is a woke world of lies, because it offends Wos. I was raised as a fundamentalist, non-denominational protestant. Luckily, I escaped that belief system. But I was taug...

I think all religion is a collection of myths and lies. Are we no longer allowed to say that on the Watch? Is atheism no longer allowed to be expressed?
