Might as well argue with a flat-earther.
I have said many times around here and used it for a signature line for a while....
I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.
Replies to guido aren't to try to enlighten him, but more to give some food for thought to others who read them. I still find it a little difficult to believe guido is as morally bankrupt as his professed beliefs and leanings show him to be - the daughter thing in particular. He invests in their future in a big way with their schooling and probably provides them the means to do other activities that will allow them to develop into fine women. So, when he lets Trump slide on something as basic as his sexual predator crimes, I have to believe he is just doing his thing for show. I cringe to think that he would actually be ok with them being molested like that, even if he does express that sentiment in his posts.
I cannot believe he would be ok with a daughter, receiving the kind of education he is investing in, to then have that grown woman go out into the workforce and be devalued to the extent that most women are in this country. I am betting his Dr. wife doesn't settle for 20% less than a male for the same job. And yet, the belief expressed in Trump says directly that pay disparity isn't a problem and we should not be concerned with equal pay for equal work. But then, Dr.'s make so much anyway, maybe 20+% less just isn't any big deal...
And he has made a particular effort to mention my missing military service and tried to disparage me for that. Well, I was eligible for the draft - took NO action or effort to try to miss out on it...in fact had a close family friend who worked on the draft board who was just chompin' at the bit to get hands on me! Unlike Trump, who actively pursued a course to avoid the military at all costs, using every bit of influence Daddy could swing. And then all these years later, calls our POW's cowards!! I have covered the idea that somehow a POW could possibly be considered a coward elsewhere. But one who calls them that - and this is what guido with his proud military service is excusing - is the most disgusting low life, sc*m sucking, boi$ biting, pu$e peddling piece of garbage to walk the earth.
As for me serving, I knew that my talents/efforts/background would serve the military better doing the engineering work I pursued. One item in particular was some work I did for Rockwell related to the B1 bomber that enabled the effort to make them much more stealthy that any previous bomber. And my little piece of the project - it was huge effort, with thousands working on it - made a contribution, along with those others, that provided and still provides a part of the 'shield' protecting this country - not just soldiers in active positions, but civilians in the US! So my relative contribution to the military effort is arguably at least as much, and depending on guido's MOS, could be much more than his!
Enough bragging... but it ain't bragging if it is true.
Sideline - I love the B1 bomber! I think it is the most beautiful plane since the B17! And it is so cool - it looks like a Cessna 180 on radar. Coming at you at Mach 2+ !! By the time you see it as an enemy, you are already dead ! How cool is that??
And as for the molestation of women - groping and forcing his attentions on them - well, that also is another criminal act. As the lawyers here would tell you...
And none of this even touch on what has happened since taking office. The previous stuff is more than enough to disqualify Trump from any consideration by anyone with even a touch of morals.
