So I started debating politics on FB . . .

[indianasmith]

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.
OR! I never said that and -ahhh-I have to wipe out folks who are smart.

Archibald Cox,anyone?

Nobody here remembers Watergate?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
