Such hostility. Thankfully most of the Americans I know are many grades above you in deportment.

Is hostility another thing you’re afraid of?

Right here:

"You think the government has your best interest in mind."

Such an eloquent reply, getting to the meat of the argument.

I lost any hope of carrying on a civil and productive conversation with most of the straight up assholes in here a long time ago. I just decided to put it right back in their faces in the (hopefully) last few days we have. The sooner this whole site dies, the better. We all have better things to do. Like rake the yard, fold socks, or something.

Then why don’t you go do them? How much room are we taking in your head with our existence that you feel the need to. One here just for the purpose of offending us? Is that how you deal with people in person, too, or do you save it for people who you can’t see?

Well…it’s a problem which will fix itself, right? I won’t be here much longer. Feel better?

And I'm sure you're happy that we'll all be missing something that we liked.

Oh…I’m sure you’ll be alright.

You can find another leftist echo chamber in which you can insult others in.

Why oh Why is everyone avoiding the punch bowl I just shat in???!? This is the worst party ever!

Damn man, do you have a single worldly bone in your body and do you also think we should force Canada to be our 51st state like that moron Trump? So, I am going there with you: tell us what you experienced in your 10 months in Afghanistan in 2002. Was it non- stop combat for you? You've shat on everyone here so tell us what was your war?

Uh, yeah. I failed to consider you weren't talking about what a 15 minute city actually is because you obviously weren't talking about what a 15 minute city actually is. Come on dude, it's a real failure of yours to highlight that I never even considered that you might be discussing reality when you have already clarified that you are indeed discussing the conspiracy theory version.

Is that how naive you were in insisting that Trump cabinet members must be telling you the truth about what Trump was doing? How naive you were in not being able to think of a single reason why an administration insider would lie to you? Is that how naive we're talking?

I don't thnk you quite understand the concept of viewing both sides.

Did you just admit you were naiive for the same reasons you accuse me of?

your question presupposed that the conspiracy theory version of a 15 minute city is what a 15 minute city is.

No I didn't.  You read it anyway you want to though.

Don't let your predesposition of what you think I think cloud the truth.

If you ever do make it down to Skydive Panama City. It’s a great DZ. Please come see me. I’d love to meet you!

The one not understanding is you...and you still can't see it.

Reminds me of the saying: "Remember, when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It is only painful for others. The same applies when you are stupid."

 

In any case I also live in a 15-minute city, and it rocks. The conspiracy theories about them are bizarre.

I don’t think you understand that a conspiracy theory and reality are not equal sides.

I also don’t think you understand that asking you to judge yourself by your own standards doesn’t mean I accept those standards - it’s just asking you to apply a little intellectual honesty. And yes, obviously I know that’s asking too much but you never know, a Christmas miracle might happen.

How many times has the government been caught harming more than helping?

Why do you think the government is there to help you?

I read it the way you wrote it, which was based on the assumption that 15 minute cities means restricting people’s travel. It doesn’t - that’s just a conspiracy theory you were obviously suckered by. A conspiracy theory propagated by people who believe that any effort to build a better world for normal people is a liberal communist plot.

Oh For Fucks sake!

You, Jakee, are incapable of getting past yourself to consider both sides.  You have your mind made up.  There is nothing that you ave said that even, in the littlest bit, gives anyone here any idea that you could even consider a different outlook than you have on anything.

No one is going to change your mind about anything.

At least I can evaluate and keep reevaluating my stances on different things.

You're a lost soul, but I still believe you are worth saving.

I did NOT say that it means anything.

I said it was a possibility that bad outcomes come from the government.

Why do you think that government personnel are reliable sources? 
 

BTW, are you looking forward to the Trump administration’s massive drive for deregulation and cutback on government interference?
