James, I have never, not once called anyone on this forum a snowflake. You are again misinformed and mistaken. Politics are simply innapropiate for a online hockey discussion forum.
- MJL

So what you're saying, is that you need a safe space?

I kid. Maybe you've never called me a snowflake. I can't really keep the Trumpers straight nor can I tell their ramblings apart.

I get that it can be hard to deal with the fact that when people realize you like Trump they make possibly unfair judgments against you. But you will be better off considering this than retreating to a bubble where people only talk about neutral topics.


We should never ever limit the topics we talk about. If people of opposite political views can come together to discuss them in a hockey blog, well that's a good thing.

Also, to the credit of all involved, this blog, by which I mean myself and the hundreds of commentors who have been discussing politics openly since the disgusting events of November 7, has always been able to do so respectfully and without intervention or craziness.

It's a good thing. You get to hear my views and I get to hear yours. The hope is one day you'll realize that my views are in line with most educated people and change your mind, but hey it's a free country (at least for now).

This is pretty funny.
- MJL

Why?

Fox News blatantly appeals to the uneducated and the easily duped. That is a fact. It is objective and true and cannot be argued against. MSNBC is not the liberal Fox News. MSNBC has a bias, but it still entrenched firmly in reality, unlike Fox, which actually differentiates between it's news staff and the people whom embarrass said staff.

Technically, a douche like Sean Hannity is not a part of the fox "news" team. But most people don't even realize that because well, that'd be bad for business.

But objectively speaking, Fox News is propaganda for stupid people and everyone knows it.

Yeah i'd also like to apologize again for dragging out this political nonsense. I know most of you guys and girls don't want to see this on HB and it's not fair to everyone else for me to keep pushing and pushing the issue.

Good discussion for the most part and thanks for not endlessly reporting my comments everyone.

I couldn't care less about what judgements people make against me on an online forum. The comments about needing a safe space and retreating to a bubble is ignorant. Politics shold be kept off of Hockeybuzz and it is inappropriate on this forum.

I'm not sure what kind of disorder this displays but you're stating that you can do so respectfully while being incredibly disrespectful.

It's a good thing. You get to hear my views and I get to hear yours. The hope is one day you'll realize that my views are in line with most educated people and change your mind, but hey it's a free country (at least for now).

Excellent example of being respectful. I suggest seeking help and getting some kind of therapy.

Look, if I call you a name, that is disrespectful.

But quoting facts about how dumb Fox News is, is not 'disrespectful.'

I am under no obligation to pretend things that are wrong are OK just because a lot of people believe them.

I am sorry, but how respectful are you when you write - as you have literally dozens of times - how stupid my hockey opinions are, or how you can't believe someone who thinks what I think has a job writing about hockey etc. ?

I mean, dude, get real.

Fox News is literally fake news for dumb people. How can I say that in a nicer way when it's objectively, literally, unquestioningly true?

A douche is a guy who wears Axe Body spray, might be in a frat and owns multiple tank tops.

What you mean to call me is a Richard, which I am fine with. Most of the people who refuse to dumb down their beliefs for mass consumption are Richards. I'm fine with it.

Douche and Richard are transferable. Quit being either. You can disagree with people and but you should be a little bit more classy while doing it. No need to stoop to the verbal equivalent of grabbing their wussy, disrespect wise.

- james_tanner1

James, I challenge your opinions and refute them, as most are easily refutable. I don't however call you stupid. You however write that anyone who supports Trump or watches Fox news is gullible and uneducated. Same as those that don't agree with your hockey opinions. Big difference. You routinely insult people who don't agree with your infallible opinions. So to "get real", you are routinely disrespectful to people who disagree with your opinions. That's why you don't get much respect.

- james_tanner1

It that objectively, literally, and unquestioningly true in the same way that Jake Gardiner is an elite defenseman is objectively, literally and unquestioningly true. I'll just make one comment that objectively invalidates your opinion on that. You called Fox News liberal.

Look, if I call you a name, that is disrespectful.

"quoting facts"... when liberals push opinions they want as facts, and label any who disagree as racists, idiots, or other narratives they accuse the right of being.


Keep at it James, always amusing to see your "debates" here.

Hannity. Please. Even I know better.

The left never disappoints.

To be fair, Fox News has brainwashed an entire generation - and it's the baby boomers, who make up the biggest demographic of anyone - and Trump won specifically because of old people, so while education is not perfect, it's not the main problem either.

Charter schools are a scam, teaching to testing is a bad idea, and more people need to be able to go to college or university without drowning in debt.

But the main problem continues to be the media - there's too much corporate money in media and there is not enough trust in the media (for good reason). Fox is the biggest issue because of how it's misinformation, but other outlets are not perfect.

The death of print and the rise of the internet certainly plays a part - it's all really complicated and interconnected - but Fox News has turned a lot of people insane.
- james_tanner1

Without the internet you would have never written anything anyone would ever see about hockey, nor would you have ever seen a hockey game. Advanced stats wouldn't exist. So yes the internet has played a huge role in the downfall of society.

Public education already sucked... stop paying teachers for test scores and start rewarding teachers for actually teaching.

Could not have said it better myself 47% of the people who went thru the Detroit public school system were declared illiterate Wake up and get rid of the idiot teachers who don't know anything about educating our children

But you live in the largest entitlement state in the country Why even get a job if the government is going to support you. But who supports the government? PEOPLE WHO WORK. It is time to get the deadbeats off their dead arses and start to contribute instead of gimme gimme gimme

What else can I say It is difficult to get into a battle of wits with an unarmed person. That being YOU Tanner. Stupid is everywhere on the left and remember there is NO CURE FOR STUPID

Most liberals are low uneducated people who have not a clue. All they want is handouts If you want to know the real story about Liberals Go see the movie "Hillary's America" And if you still are convinced to be a liberal. God Help you
