Go woke, go broke….

They find it insulting when they lose the argument.
I guess it’s a coping mechanism of sorts.

 

I lived in San Diego. California is a great place. That is why everyone lives there. Yosemite might be my favorite place on earth sans the crowds.

 

Suggesting that someone is obviously the product of a poor education is an insult. And there was no argument to lose.

 

Blow it out your…

 

It was an obvious insult and a matter of consistency coming from you.

 

Construction projects at a halt. Theme parks empty at the peak of the season. No one hanging out on South Beach.

It looks like not being woke is killing Florida thanks to its moron governor.

 

I wouldn't call that particular comment an insult. Seems in that instance he was trying to strut his own point as being superior without actually knowing what I thought about the specifics of the decision.

Same time, it's kind of amusing if also a bit pathetic how he (and a few others) quickly resort to insults and ad hom.

About Cali. I guess I have a dog in the fight since I live here--but not really since I also have a considerable east coast bias. Where I'm from/where the fam is at

Upsides--vast natural beauty and whatever you want to pursue, Cali has it. An interest in helping others, making things better etc.

Downsides--victim of own wealth w/absurdly high cost of living (and thus also increased homelessness etc.), metro area traffic (LA purportedly has worst in the world--my take: absolute truth), and the mother of all nightmares: wildfires

Crime & drugs otoh are not specific to CA or necessarily worse than other states--though there are specific places that suffer more from these problems. Still, crime is endemic and varies--even more w/in cities & states than b/t them.

The effort by some to use them as an weapons is one made in bad faith, though not at all unexpected since the go-to when you are unable to make a reasoned argument is to lob insults and ad hom.

 

Well geez, given Mutz's thought that your comment was not an insult I was all ready to retract my comment and offer an apology, but here you are doubling down and substantiating my point. #Hugs

 

You say that you'll have a reasonable conversation--and there seems to be a truth to it imo...but also, imo, you seem to be quick to reach for insults and/or ad hom.

I didn't lecture you about anything. My comment was to davisl.

Anyway, you get what you give.

 

You really seem to place high importance on being an internet tough guy, doling out your righteous wrath to anyone who wrongs you. God forbid letting a lib get the best of you.

 

Florida is booming, construction is still active even though dumb joe and his polices have tried to slow it down

 

You liberals are so sensitive.

 

The biggest difference is when they can't win an argument they turn to insults, that's their little defense mechanism. If we do insult them or if they feel they've been insulted, they run to the mods and complain, they're a sensitive little group

 

Weren't you the one bragging how tough you were at some bar a few weeks back? I think you were bragging about shutting up some older person
