any history majors here on wordforge?

We know your history, and this is an old loaded racist question. I am pretty sure you are not writing a paper, and google is probably far better than anything you are going to get on a message board. I will get to what should be the end of the discussion.

It does not matter because the racial slavery of the US was wrong. It was a horribly barbaric system of bullshit that took regular old slavery and made it worse by making it race based. We have grown beyond it, and even if lincoln was the worst racist in the universe, it is no excuse for your good for nothing racist ass to feel proud. You are the evidence that white people are superior to no other race because you are a sad, ignorant, good for nothing waste of flesh.

Do not play the innocent dumbass with me because I know you are just a racist dumbass.

Seriously, I am already running out of buckets for @Ten Lubak 's tears. I am going to need to start hiring help for all your tears.

For a fail troll I sure seem to have lots of fans.

Can you possibly address any topic that isn't All About You?

Yeah, I was just pointing out that repeating arms were available before the start of the war.

Maybe this one is what the chaplain bought.

Yes, but is there some reason you decided to attack me and bring me into this further? I was pretty much happy discussing the loaded racist question oldfella had until you decided to cuddle up to him. I am not terribly sorry I pissed on you also, but if you are in bed with oldfella you might get wet when I pee on him for fun.

I don't think it was a Colt. As I recall, what twigged me to it being something significant (besides the fact that it was the only weapon he mentioned by brand name) was the fact that he said the chaplain had bought Brand X rifle, without any discussion of the characteristics of the weapon. It was only when I googled the name that I figured out why it was significant.

Your very first "Hey, look at me!" post when you first arrived in the RR.

BTW, if you feel "mention" = "attack," considering your standard M.O., you're a special kind of snowflake.

Make sure to include the term "cuntrag" in your follow-up.

I call myself a troll because I engage in poop throwing. It is not an accomplishment to get me to respond, nor does it mean a meltdown.

I am really surprised I have to keep explaining the context of things to you Ms Cuntrag. These are simple points. Did you go to the dayton kitchens school of wordsmithing?

Lincoln specifically aside, I think it is telling that the constant pattern repeats:

Lefties - "Ya know, we treated some vulnerable people awful shitty in the past and maybe we should rethink that"

Righties - "Oh ho! Look at the ultra woke social justice warriors we got virtue signaling over here!"

I am still sure zombie and OF both think of hispanic people as spics. I even remember who it was directed at. If zombie was who he said he was I have no doubt he uses that terminology all the time. So yes, it was nuanced conversation where I was implying there were racists here with my choice of words. I do not think I was wrong in that evaluation.

But keep on bringing things like that up because I pissed you off again. It is like it is a sign to me that I got you. Do you think I have really old posts of yours marked or saved? We know they are out there. Do I go out and mark every post of yours as TLDR for years? Every master troll needs their butt goblins. It is a sign of mastery.

what did Lincoln get a patent on? Please don't say mechanical rail splitter or I'll lose all respect for him.

wow you are very observant! That said your observation is very binary and overly simplified IMHO.

Well I can't speak for Zombie but I for one do not think of hispanic people as spics, but thank you for projecting!
Also good luck with those "butt goblins" you spoke of. There have been great advances in medical science in this area, and I'm sure a cure is right around the corner.

I am quite positive you have used and overlooked the use of the word spic in white company. Given the level of right wing talking points you barf up I am sure you and your friends use those slurs in private to own the libs. I am not projecting, I am just experienced with racist white people.

As for the butt goblins they are a matter of pride. I would never have @Ten Lubak removed. That is the fruit that keeps on sprouting. It taste as sweet as a fresh georgia peach on a cool sunny day. I know what both of them are like so i offer you a comparison that you will know is wholesome and good. That is the steady mana of the trolls. You get special meals like a dayton, who was just a never ending buffet of dumbass that the mods ruined by banning him. But, not everyone likes watching trolls eat so heartily so perhaps he was mucking up the place. I just reside here as one of the characters. I do not own the place to make such decisions.

I am glad you came back. Don't get me wrong, I do not want you to go. Yes, your racism irritates me, but I regularly consume things I do not care for simply because that is part of the diversity of the world. Not everything is supposed to make me happy, and it is through sadness and disgust that I can experience more vibrant and powerful joy, happiness, and love. Some th8ings are meant to be irritating, and that is why I am glad you are here, and I would not kill you to make things "better."

Anyway, I think this is long enough to piss off the village, so I will cut it off now.

to be honest I don't think you pissed even one person off, let alone the village. I do salute your mad skillz as a spy when you planted listening devices on me since you know what I say in real life. I work right down the street from the NSA, so maybe I can put in a good word for you if you are looking for a well paying job!

I know I have pissed people off. They have told me in no uncertain terms. Do you really think Dayton had it in him to hide his anger? He is just the start. You have clearly been pissed off with me calling you a racist because you whined the loudest of all about it. The one thing I love about you is your natural lack of attachment with reality. I have to do a ton of drugs to get to where you just happen to have your brain chemistry set. I guess it is not so pleasant when you do not chose to be wasted which is why you are so much fun.

You really should start liking the results of the election because you have four years of being right about how the Biden cum guzzling gutter sluts are going to explode in hypocrisy. They have laughed at you defending trump for the past few years and now it is your turn again. I know you will never recognize your own hypocrisy, but now you can laugh with me. Just know I am going to stab you in the side every so often.

You overestimate your own importance and impact.

Farm equipment. I think it might have been a mechanical reaper but I don’t remember.

It was a boat lifter. It doesn't look very practical.

cool! Even if it never came to fruition it still took some skill to design it.

overly simplified? I don't think so. This is the core difference between liberal vs conservative - and I don't just mean in politics, but it is essential in politics. Liberals, or progressives or whatever name or label you wish to put on it, is to move forward, politically and socially. Conservatives are like "wait, hold on. Let's step back and evaluate before we move forward into something we might regret." Most other countries balance out rather well. But, conservatives, in the US, always take it as an attack. It's not an attack and it's not over simplified. You've had time to evaluate the situation. LGBT individuals, POC, women, all deserve the same respect and allowances white men have enjoyed throughout US history. It's time to move forward.

Did I ever say that LGBT, POC, etc do not deserve the same respect and allowances? Get a good shovel, you'll be digging a bit trying to find that.
Here's where you don't quite get it: American can walk & chew gum at the same time! By that I mean America can expand your liberties without taking mine away.
Progressives have a mindset of taking liberties at the expense of achieving their goals. Progressives feel they need total control to do this - they aren't interested in any balance of ideas, methods, or anything that doesn't fit their narrative. Just how I see most progressives. You have your opinions and I have mine.

Conservatives seem to believe that rights are a finite quantity, that there's only so much to go around. "Well, if we give those people more rights, it means they're taking those rights away from us."

Well, first, I didn't address you directly, but "conservatives" in general. So, as long as we're here, and if you think those groups deserve the same respect and allowances, why do you still lean conservative? Why do you feel attacked when progressives bring up equal rights?

That's all we're asking for. Why do you think we are asking for more?

Please provide examples of this.

Please provide examples of this.

Yes, I understand about opinions. But, can you provide examples for the reasons you've provided from which you base your opinions?

He's talking about guns.

Because he isn't smart enough to realize they won't actually protect him from a government with nukes and drones, that the 2nd amendment has been totally perverted by then NRA (per Reagan's own chief justice, Berger), and that it is inevitable we continue to have massacres, even though supposedly that's what guns are going to prevent.

In other news, a couple of days ago was the anniversary of Sandy Hook, that many people on his side still claim was a hoax.

And I warned all these fuckers about bump stocks, and they were so fucking stupid they couldn't see what it inevitably was going to lead to.

Bumpity bump.

the evaluate part is a mileage may vary sort of thing.

all too often there's a refusal to even consider proposals.

I think it really boils down to prioritizing the needs of the many vs prioritizing the needs of the few.

Even the Ferengi figured out that a free market is undermined by excluding half of the consumer base from adequately participating.

I totally agree that that is what it is now. But, it's not how the system was intended to work.

Republican party policy for the 2020 election (ie the policy which they including Trump endorsed at the 2020 RNC) calls for the overturning of gay marriage rights.

If you voted for them that is one of the things you officially said you endorsed.

some conservatives might. As I explained my attitude is it's very possible to expand rights & liberties without taking them away from others. Some liberals share the same viewpoint. Both sides can (in theory) work together to arrive at a compromise. In reality America is getting increasingly polarized and radicalized. If you bring this up half the people will blame the other half for starting it, and vice versa. Just my 2 cents.

It's mainly because of stupid people like you
