Because some guy said Republicans who don't support Trump or worse than communists.
I tried, politely, to explain why I fell into that "Never Trump" category.
He called me ignorant.  Not once, but multiple times, in a nasty, mean-spirited way.
Finally I got a bit huffy and said:
"When you have written five books, taught history for 25 years, and pulled a straight 4.0 in grad school, THEN you can call me ignorant."
He shot back: "Teachers like you are what's wrong with kids these days!"

He's no longer on my friends list!! LOL

Facebook-....is insane-I never go there.AND I  will try not to talk about Trump on this board no mo.And sometimes I may write in reverse because I am possessed by Satan. Or Natas. Or-maybe not so maybe I might? MAYBE!Yeaah. Whichever you like. :tongueout:
OR! I never said that and -ahhh-I have to wipe out folks who are smart.

Archibald Cox,anyone?
Does anybody here know who and why Archibald Cox beyond Indy?
Nobody here remembers Watergate?
I do.
It was on TV EVERY f**kINGDAY.

Indy, my friend, don't EVER do that. You will realize what empty, petty, worthless creatures troll Farcebook looking for someone to insult. It is beneath your dignity to engage these people in any conversation.

Remember: Opinions are like arseholes: Everyone has one, and they usually stink.

The thing is, I cannot sleep at night if someone on the internet is wrong.  :teddyr:

Indy-your one of the most political savvy folks on this board.
I can't talk about politics here on Bad Movies-because people hate me. :bouncegiggle:

Ahhh Facebook drama, where the worst comes out in people.

Politics is toxic. Good people turn nasty when talking about it. Rational people turn insane. Friends become enemies. We've seen it happen here. Andrew's "no politics" rule was a good one for these boards. 

a little insight-Pacman-
NOBODY clicks on "go here" links. NOBODY.
If your going to write about something-write it.

Just trying to help.

This is a fact-BAD MOVIES.org may have lotsa followers...years ago. Right now it it's pretty much just us.I am not sorry for my political beliefs. I AM sorry that I scared people off because of them. Which is funny.Because I have NO political beliefs. I'm an anarchist. I hate it ALL. :smile:

Facebook sucks and i have no interest or need for it. Years ago, a "friend" posted about how america, the constitution, the national anthem and military are rascist and fascist and blah blah blah. Now, ive known this person for many years. I was a groom at their wedding. This person was in the military and enjoyed many of the perks and continues to do so to this day. I simply asked the person " how is the constitution rascist? Can you explain to me?" . Ill admit that maybe there is a history or something that im not aware of. A simple question. This "friend" responded by blocking me and continued to post about how stupid and rascist that i was, without explaining anything. I was blocked so i couldnt even respond or defend myself. I continued to recieve random messages from people threatening and calling me all types of derogatory things. I guess they were " loving my hate". So i deleated my account and never went back.

Indy- there is no debate anymore. Identity politics have taken over. If you do agree with popular (liberal) opinion,  you will be attacked and called a name. This is the thing that frustrates me more than anything.  Wecome to what i call the "singularity".

Sorry. Just a comic which said the same thing Indy said; that the character couldn't sleep when someone on the Internet was wrong. Not sure how to embed it; I don't own it, and I don't know if the author likes people embedding his work.

Its the internet. Take it.us it. If you don't want it out there-don't post it.
I have a photo blog-I steal s**t from ebay and auction sites-and when folks grab from me-that's cool.I have a Tumbler picture blog with over 10,000  followers. I post rare horror film pics because I WANT folks to use it!I have been helping Frank Dello J. Stritto with photos on his Bela Lugosi Blog. Its all fair game.
If you want to see my blog-look below me avatar-I have a link. The BEST horror photo blog you will ever see. I have been doing it for 5 years. I suck at writing-but I can find the rarest photos ANYWHERE! I am a good archivist. Not screen grabs.Studio photos.
The reason I don't post here much because I'm busy hunting rare photos.From BFI,some German site-I go all over.
Go to my blog-you'll see I'm not talking out my ass.

Double checked the site; looks like it's OK to copy with credit.  The writer actually provides a code for embedding. License at the site I linked to earlier.

Oh garsh! You worry too much.
 :wink:

I purposely keep my FB silly and completely free of politics, religion, etc., etc. If you wanna see lotsa nerdy posts about movies (good AND bad), comic books, and heavy metal music, feel free to look me up. :D

That's me, sitting at the computer. Welcome to my life.

Sadly-when it comes to politics-thats me. I'm a real loudmouth ass at the keyboard. In the real world-I do NOTHING to change it.
I've never voted.For anything. I'm one of those a***oles who b***h-and get drunk and b***h more.

I'm with the Rev. on this one. It's just too hard to risk these days...and it wern't so good in them days!

I didn't know where else to put this on this board, but since this thread does deal with the subject of politics, and since I found this interesting, I thought I'd post it here.

It's getting crowded out there.

All of these have either . . .
(a) had their names put forward for President in 2020.
(b) are testing the waters for a run for President in 2020.
(c) or are known to be thinking of running for President in 2020.

CEO Bob Iger
actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
ex VP Joe Biden
businessman Mark Cuban
TV star Oprah Winfrey

The good news or the bad news is that Trump is so toxic today, that if the election was held tomorrow, even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would defeat Trump in the election.

I honestly wouldnt be surprised if the Rock won. People seem to be excited about it. Im already seeing memes about it.  Dont forget about kanye west! Kim believes in him,  thats enough for me!

I will cautiouslytalk about politics on Facebook, mostly because the people that know me well either agree with me or are civil in their disagreement. I made the mistake of responding to someone's post who has absolutely no sense of humor at all about politics (which I unfortunately forgot). I got lambasted several times over. I remained civil and still got called names. I will never respond to that person's posts again. The really stupid part is that up until this last election, this person was a staunch Republican. Now, if you dare to even mildly disagree with the Democrat philosophy, you are an obvious idiot who should not be allowed to vote or even express an opinion ever. I came across a psychological study that demonstrated that those on the Left are just as prejudiced as those on the Right, just toward different things. I posted a link and wasn't surprised that I got no feedback. It was even on Politico, a fairly Left-leaning source.

Both the Left and the Right, as far as politicians go, are corrupt, money-hungry, sell-out weasels. They both screw the working class fairly equally while furthering the interests of corporations at the expense of the taxpayers.

The only real difference that I have found between them is that the Left will screw you over but tell you it is for your own good; the Right just screws you over because it benefits them.

Unfortunately, those who lean hard one way or another tend to be unable to see beyond the dogma of their camp of their choice.

As a result, I always vote for Flesh Gordon. (Only partially joking)

I believe that both dems/repubs are 2 sides of the same coin. They make deals behind closed doors. Theyre members of the same clubs. They go to the same resturants, schools, brothels etc. Its just theatre. We buy into it and fight over whos team is better. though, in recent years ive begun to have a slight preference for one party over the other because of certain "issues". I dont want to start an political arguement, but how does a Rock/Tom Hanks ticket sound? It looks as though its going to be a real thing. I find it funny and disturbing at the same time. Nothing against those two guys, I dont even know there views. Admittedly, im biased against celebrities and self important bs (Im well aware of the current president and where he came from). Listed below is something that is headlining on a news site:



This weekend’s Saturday Night Live season finale inducted Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson into the Five Timers’ Club — and the host used the occasion to “officially announce” his 2020 presidential bid. As for his choice in running mate? None other than Tom Hanks.

Hanks then joined Johnson and fellow club member Alec Baldwin on stage to graciously accept his offer.

“I can… not possibly turn this down. I’ll do it,” Hanks said enthusiastically. “I’m in! Let’s go!”

Johnson then explained his decision to run for the highest office in the land.

“Now, in the past, I would have never considered running for president,” he began. “I didn’t think I was qualified at all, but now I’m actually worried that I’m too qualified.”

“The truth is [that] America needs us,” Hanks said.  “No one can seem to agree on anything anymore, except for two things,” to which Johnson interrupted to clarify that those two things are “pizza and us.”

“I mean, I have been in two movies where the plane crashes, and people are still excited to see me on their flight,” Hanks continued. “Together, we would get one hundred percent of the vote. I would get the senior vote because I fought in World War II… in like, ten different movies.”

“And of course, I would get the minority vote, because everyone just assumes that I’m, well, whatever they are,” Johnson said.

This thread reminded me of something that happened to me and a  few of my friends back in 2008. A few friends and I were supporting Obama, while others were backing Romney. Things were kept civil for the part. Then after Obama won one friend deleted all of us from her friends list that were backing him. A while late she sent friend requests to the whole bunch of us.  :question:
