It admittedly can be a bad habit/instinct that I fall back on with temp's politics board, since we've got so many mindless right-wing spammers that make a new thread every time an edgy pre-teen shits out a new tweet or Youtube video. Hell, this topic wouldn't have veered either if not for a second right-wing troll playing agitator.
Don't act like the leftists here are somewhat better, as recent example take a look at the post dealing with FNAF creator's retirement. Why can't people be centrist I wonder...

Being outside of the Democrat-Republican binary paradigm is one thing, but centrism is useless in a capitalist society. Just ask MLK Jr.

Who asked for it to be canceled?
Well I'm just trying to understand what your goal is with a statement like, "this is what Juneteenth is about it seems" Like seriously? People die setting off fireworks on the 4th of July, yearly, is that what that holiday is about too, it would seem? Or are these just unfortunate events that happened on the holiday that in no way represent the actual overall meaning of the day? I only ask because that quoted statement there holds a lot of misguided underlying meaning it seems.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
