I am aware of that... not just with politics but other things as well. Personally, I try not to talk about politics/Trump on TS. Especially if you don't like my viewpoint, IMO its less obnoxious to post an occasional item of interest here than it is to browbeat people on TS about it.

Two truths; 1. Plenty of people can be annoying on TS, myself definitely included, although I don't usually intend to be annoying I sometimes am. 2. The Mute button is your friend!
And every country is shit, who cares about the one you just happened to be born in?
I don't know about that, some more so than others, I guess. But I DO know that the constant attacks on the institutions of the country and the West are intentional and are part of the goal to "transform" us into something radically different, and I want no part of it.

I have family who served in combat. I have a family member who is a police officer who was nearly murdered in the line of duty. I've also had my share of run-ins with asshole cops, but there are a lot of good people who put themselves on the line every day and they get nothing but grief for it.

So the point of contention isn't the kneeling - it's that he didn't kneel for both anthems.

At least you're making progress in your views :)
The point is that for some reason sports now pushes leftist political propaganda down my throat. Sports used to be a refuge from politics, ffs.
If you're so confident in your viewpoints politically why do you need a refuge from them or their opposing views? Additionally why are you afraid of "political propoganda being shoved down your throat"?

Do you not feel you have the mental capacity to make your own decisions on things? Surely a strong willed person such as yourself shouldn't be worried about their convictions being converted by what athletes do or say?

Do you also not see the irony in complaining about political propaganda being shoved down your throat in a setting that it hasn't traditionally belonged?

I mean to be fair,

don't you do the same thing on a community forum made for MOHAA players?

MOHAA used to be a refuge from politics .. unfortunately you have decided to change that.

However I (unlike you and your stance with the NFL - haven't made a big deal about it on teamspeak numerous times and in countless forum posts - I kind of just take your political rants in a gaming environment as something that is your right to do. Weird that you can't or won't grant athletes the same kind of freedom or discretion to voice concerns about things they don't like politically.

Respectfully - maybe a little self reflection is in order here

A position we can all get behind :)
Yeah fuck you too. :D

That last line is something that I never wrote in my original post... someone changed my original post to say fuck you too at the end of it which kind of takes away from what I was saying.. IDK who it was but Ari saw the post and it wasn't there before... ?

I didn't edit your post. Or did I? I meant to edit my post? That was supposed to be my last point, after quoting you telling me to rethink myself... "yeah fuck you too." A joke.

Don't know what happened there...

EDIT - okay I went back to edit mine and must've edited yours by mistake, and didn't notice. Weird, I didn't think it would do that without giving me a warning. Also it didn't show the message as "editted", which is really not a good thing.

sorry for the confusion...

Yeah I can be guilty of the ts stuff to, usually don't bring it up but if its already being talked about sometimes I hop in. Try not to be to anti theist and shit.

Also everything is always in flux, there is no standard for how a culture or country runs because it's always changing. You can look at it like ebb and flow but its more of just a plinko machine with the rich making extra big pegs to try to control their slaves. Most of the time they can get the puck to go the way they want as long as they out play the other rich pegs, but other forces that they can't understand and control sometimes just cause it to not go their way. It's a shitty situation when the worlds economy for industrialism is get as many kids as you can so you can easily sell them shit then get them to have kids and also sometimes get to thin out the flock with war which is also great for selling people shit.

Yup, a lot of it right now is that they're pushing open borders and all that because they want all these people to sell toothpaste to, on top of wanting cheap compliant labor. Protecting the interests of we who they are supposed to represent is the last of their priorities.
