Re: I swear to Christ if the GOP blows this Supreme Court nomination...

Oh, look--our troll is back. My lucky day to deal with complete douchebags on FSN. i'm genuinely not a troll. i may have opposing views from time but i've never engaged in what anyone would call trolling. i've always tried to maturely and sincerely discuss issues here. i'd love to hear more about h...

Re: I swear to Christ if the GOP blows this Supreme Court nomination...

Let's be clear: this is the Stalingrad of the war on white, straight, Christian men (and I say this as a non-Christian). The only question is who wins. https://i.redd.it/t3ttu1aq7zo11.jpg so close today. hopefully the fbi will clear kavanaugh this week and he'll be confirmed. eta: though i expect e...

Re: Computer questions

+1 on getting a real server. either way, don't over spend by buying brand spaking new hardware. try the dell outlet (outlet.dell.com) you can find some good deals on refurbed and returned hardware there. before you buy, talk to the software vendors you're working with. if you are going to use some k...

Re: 2 muslim women might make it to Congress

Don't really know what to tell you. Unless the admins/mods (if any have even been appointed yet) step down on it, it's probably going to be a thing that continues here. I'd suggest PMing fsnadmin. Right and i'm saying it shouldn't have to be that way. If we need mods to tell people to be decent, th...

Re: 2 muslim women might make it to Congress

In my mind, racism AND religious intolerance are the direct opposite of what our country stands for. I have not met a single military veteran who would say that they put their life on the line to support racism and religious intolerance, and I don't believe that is why firemedic served either. I ap...

Re: 2 muslim women might make it to Congress

As for racism being socially acceptable or not? I think we both know that varies by whos social group and where you are. Like everything else it's just one of those things that are going to be part of life, accepted or not. I'll fully admit I have my own biases due to my own life experiences but I ...

Re: 2 muslim women might make it to Congress

So -- This isn't about the first amendment as you know. The first amendment doesn't have anything to do with private communications. I'm not suggesting that the government censor or limit your thoughts or communications. What I'm saying is that: First, racism is, I thought, socially unacceptable. Pe...

Re: 2 muslim women might make it to Congress

I won't bother you guys again. Maybe I'll stop by in the next iteration. What are you, some kind of snowflake? I believe this place is tolerant of all views, including yours. Being Muslim is not a race, Muslims come in all colors and nationalities. I seriously doubt that there are any white suprema...
