US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24 *AND* Beyond

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Why those dirty deplorables! :mrgreen:

Are you disturbed Horsey?

Perhaps I can be of assistance...

See, once you lose your humanity, you have become, by definition, unhuman.

Now, for example, has your boss Vespadude lost his humanity?

He has decided his political enemies deserve the death penalty.

I'd say that qualifies as "unhuman"… or inhumane if you prefer.

Lord only knows what he’d do with all those Christians he despises so much if he had the power...

So is Vespadude unhuman/inhumane?

Yeahno, he did not say that and I'm afraid you may have become a "useful idiot", as they say, Mr. Absolute Truth.

I'm now going to add the purposely-ignored all-important preceding sentence IN RED:

By becoming consumed by nihilism, unhumans oppose everything that makes up humanity. As they are opposed to humanity itself, they place themselves outside the category completely, in an entirely new misery-driven subdivision, the unhuman,”

Nihilists! He was talking about nihilists!

Not progressives!
Yeah, read the paragraph in the book immediately prior to the one you quoted.

Okay fine, here's the paragraph defining the "unhumans". Yeah, leftists and progressives are among the unhumans, undoing civilisation and embracing nihilism, lol. A lot of the book comes across as extremely paranoid. There's Communists everywhere dontcha know!?

For our purposes in this debate this right here is all that matters.

JD Vance did not write your quote above, Posobiec/Lisec did.

JD Vance did not even say he agrees with dat dere.

Therefore....

NEXT!!

Oddly enough I completely agree with it.....however it is incomplete.

Any group who would trample on the rights, liberties, freedoms, of the individual in order to advance their own agenda or maintain a hold on power, fits in this category.

Historically speaking this group encompasses elements from the entire human race and launches itself from platforms of economics, religion, science, politics, and (more recently) sexuality and expression.

The problem with this kind of garbage is it legitimises the dehumanization of people who you don't agree with.

One could argue that anyone involved with Project 2025 is unhuman as they are "undoing civilization" by way of dismantling democratic institutions.

Once they're not considered human, then what? It's a slippery slope and the VP candidate should not be lending his name to this crap.

Harris campaign has released a selectively edited version of a recorded phone call between then President Trump and Minnesota governor Tim Walz several days after the George Floyd riots. The riots where Tim's wife slept with the windows down so she could smell the burning tires.

In the edited Harris version, Trump congratulates Tim for his handling of the riots.

The the unedited version Trump limits his praise to the last two days after Walz finally called in the National Guard. The National Guard the Mayor of Minneapolis had been asking for since the start of the second night of rioting, but Walz denied them. Walz only sent in 90 National Guardsmen on the third night. The night the Minneapolis Police 3rd Precinct was invaded by rioters and the Police had to make a daring escape of the insurrection (Jan 6th anyone). The fourth night of rioting was met with the full force of the Minnesota National Guard.

The selectively edited version is a lie. Megyn Kelly plays both versions.

This is the same National Guard that Walz had earlier served in before he retired/deserted from when deployment to Iraq entered the conversation.

Compare the contestants websites. Find the policy statements on Kamala's site. What do her and Tim stand for?

Did you call the VP a slippery slope?
