Ok only if one is independently-wealthy.

Not independently-wealthy?   then neutrality is a very good idea.

Or...

Oh my father was an Ulsterman, proud Protestant was he
My mother was a Catholic girl, from County Cork was she
They were married in two churches, lived happily enough
Until the day that I was born and things got rather tough

Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green

Baptised by father Reilly, I was rushed away by car
To be made a little orangeman, my father's shining star
I was christened David Anthony, but still in spite of that
To my father I was William while my mother called me Pat

Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green

With mother every Sunday to mass I'd proudly stroll
Then after that the orange lads would try to save my soul
For both sides tried to claim me, but I was smart because,
I played the flute or played the harp, depending where I was

Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green

Coward.

If the world fails it will be because of people like you remaining silent.

But of course, you reject responsibility for things, claiming that if you do nothing then it is not your fault.

You're wrong, but you will never understand it.

CPAC lies.

[facilitatorn]

They do a great devil’s orgy after hours. The ministers whip or get whipped depending on the denomination. The more generous donors can even get their snakes handled, a la Robert Kraft.

Yes, I know "stand in the middle of the road and you'll get run over from both directions".

Mommy dearest used to tell me to "Never discuss sex, religion, or politics" [if I wanted to stay out of trouble].
Oh how correct she was.
Wear a MAGA hat ['politics'] in America today [or in China] and see what happens to you.

My first boss told me:
"Look after yourself first in this world, son...because nobody else will."

If Cohen had stayed a lawyer, and not bought a ticket to ride the politics express...he would still be a lawyer, and wouldn't be going to prison [oh the horror of prison].

Looking after oneself is not going around antagonising people, especially people on whom one relies for an income [employers and work colleagues for example.]
First thing employers in bambuland do now with job applicants is demand access to all their social media accounts.

6 billion people in the world...'fast' lurching towards 9 billion...and if the world fails it will be my fault for being neutral/staying silent?
Nah, not buying that one.

[facilitatorn]

You hold no currency, Bambu. Your whole head is so jumbled no one will bother selling you anything. You have no sense and thus no cents in the marketplace of ideas. You should really listen to your mother better. Not because there is anything inherently wrong about discussing the topics she instructed you to stand mute on, but because she clearly recognized that you, her offspring, that she regarded with love and understanding, lacked the basic capacity not to make a complete offensive Ass of yourself on those topics.

And the more you talk, the more ignorant and cowardly you sound. People like you are why bullying succeeds.

And, just to let you know, we've been over 7 billion for more than 7 years.

Fucking incredible speech today

This cat is going to be quite tough to defeat.

You've used the word "incredible" correctly.  Rare these days

[whiskeypriest]

So much for a debate.

I guess you missed the posts that matter.

What a shock.

[whiskeypriest]

Fucking incredible speech today

I hope he gives a bunch more just like it. Though I wish he would stop groping the flag like it was a conestant in one of his beauty pageant. Tell me, do you think one of his advisors told him to "embrace the flag" and hasn't had the guts to tell him that it was not meant to be taken literally?

[Yankguy1]

I see people all the time with MAGA hats and have yet to see any harm befall them. In fact I shared an UBER in Chicago the other day with a MAGA-hat wearing Indianan and it was a pleasant drive. I think Bambu shouldn't believe everything he hears from his Number 1 radio host.

BTW I just watched some clips from Il Douchebag’s speech at CPAC. Dude was high as a kite.

[oilcan]

Shinbone Star happily demonstrates there's no such thing as an ex-journalist. 

And here is a useful look at myths about socialism (like those promulgated at CPAC)...

Just how petty, self-aggrandizing, and deceptive is the man who became our president?

Boasting about the price a painting of him went for when he was the purchaster, in secret.
