How could people go "insane" if it was just about disagreement? Again it would be all if that is what I meant. This is great, going back to the archives like this. I feel special.
we all think you're special, and need special assistance to grasp reality, but feel free to spin it as you'd like.

He better slow down! When he hits 334 rounds over his eight years then I'll be wrong.

Oh wow you actually came out with a line of "thought" that I've already mocked.

334 rounds in 2922 days (365*8+2 because leap years) is one round every 8.7 days. As of May 5 he'd played 24 rounds. That's one per 6.2 days. He's golfing way more than Obama.

Are you just telling yourself he could quit any time, he just hasn't chosen to? This is severely sad.

Hey, you people are combing over my comments and taking them clinically literal so why can't I?

The important point, I think, is not whether you are right or wrong but whether he is playing more golf than you anticipated. People attack you because they feel threatened by right wing absolutism and certainty, having powerful but mistaken opinions about almost everything. They want to shove your past remarks down your throat in the hope that making you feel shame will awaken you. But we know there isn't much chance of that, little more in fact than those liberals attacking you or Trump will see the ineptness of their means. Fear is irrational and they are equally defended, naturally in their own areas of ego.

But is you can see for yourself that opinions you once held and may have repressed or forgotten about, as it were, didn't pan out as you expected, you can begin to notice that what we believe so deeply and instinctively must be true, is only true because of what we were made to feel. In this way, gently and under our own volition, we can begin to notice we may not always be right. As it turned out for me, I discovered I was wrong about everything. At the time it proved to be an emotional disaster, but I found a deeper truth within me, that there is and has always been with me, an absolute good but not related to ideas theories philosophies or opinions, political or otherwise, but a truth that being joy is our natural state, that we suffer and have egotistical desires because we have been fucked up.

Oh Moonbeam... It has got to be almost impossible to co-exist in a world where everyone is so afraid and... not you. But at least you know without doubt you got it all sorted out. It's a gift, it's just you climbed in to that very small gift box rather than look at the gift and understand it fully. Wait... didn't Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake sing a song about you? Something about you-in-a-box?

What is typical is this post where you express your superiority to conservative thinking and how you do what you accuse others of doing, deflect the fact that your so called factual arguments are only your opinions dressed up as facts. I told you, for example,, that your notion as to why conservatives turned on liberals was the loss of the Soviet Union as an external enemy, the theory proposed by the neuroscientists that identified the differences in liberal and conservative brains and their thinking, without mentioning that the first time, and your insistence that couldn't be right. When I countered with the evidence that I was not giving my own opinion but the expert view, you accused me of using a big word like neuroscience to hide behind. All you do is deflect factual information and then counter it is others who do that. Then you become more irrational when that is demonstrated. You are not really worth anybody's time when you persist in that childish behavior. Had you less contempt for what you do, you might be able to see that is exactly how you are. This is conservative denial, protection of the ego.

First, rather poetic that when you can't find any counterarguments to basic definitions of conservative nor basic history, you label them as matters of opinion, same as many conservatives here do, eg pcgeek11. I accuse you of conservative thinking because it's factually true, and it's more than revealing enough that you don't even try to contend said facts at all.

Second, explain how neuroscientists using (rather crude) fMRI's and such are proposing theories of history. It's hard for anyone familiar with what these fields are to see how that link works, but please do present any of the evidence you've spoken of many a times yet never ever presented, or come off even more fundamentally dishonest than those conservatives.

Third, it's downright comical when someone with your powers of psychology (eg. all adult behavior is due to childhood trauma) believes they're in any position to dispense expertise on this or any other subject for that matter, just because they can parrot words that sound impressive to complete laymen.

The issue for me isn't Trump because he isn't posting in this thread. My concern is the damage people who are reading this thread do to themselves with their contempt of him exactly because, as you said, the hate flows both ways and all hate is self hate. If you do not judge him harshly you will not judge yourself harshly and that is my aim. Your capacity for suffering has make you wiser than most. You can identify with how it feels to be the other. Poor agent has a need to hold the other up to contempt because he holds himself in the same contempt. That is sad but it is also bad for others because it keeps the hate rolling.

Exhibit A of said "contempt":

I rest my case.

agent, I pay little attention to what you say when your insults are directed at me, seeing only that you posted. I only respond occasionally to what you post to me saving my attention to what you post more when your incivility is directed at other people. I did see the words, "I rest my case". I suggest you do others a favor and get even more it

This is about as convincing as those dozens of posts from chucky2 & co similarly denying that factual reality has any effect on them.
