I honestly can't even begin to wrap my head around how some people manage to navigate a single day without completely losing their grip on reality, but here we are, staring down the barrel of yet another instance of pure, unadulterated nonsense being treated like gospel. It’s funny, really, in a deeply cynical sort of way, how we collectively decide to ignore the obvious just because the alternative requires actually using a brain cell or two, which, let's face it, is asking a lot from most of the folks scrolling through these threads. You see it everywhere, this desperate need to cling to a narrative that falls apart the second you apply even a shred of common sense, and yet everyone acts like they've discovered fire when they're really just playing with matches in a dry forest. It’s exhausting, watching the same tired arguments cycle through like a bad sitcom that should have been canceled three seasons ago, but I suppose that's just the modern American experience for you—constant noise, zero substance, and a whole lot of people shouting into the void while pretending they aren't just echoing what they heard on some half-baked news segment. kaže: Look, I’m going to be honest here, because I really don't see any meaningful distinction between the guy who insists on slaughtering his own pig in the backyard just to feel close to the source, and the person who happily buys their steak from a massive industrial meat conglomerate. At the end of the day, the fundamental motivation is identical: they both want to eat meat, and frankly, the person pulling the trigger doesn't change that reality. If you take away the professional butchers, we aren't some enlightened species that suddenly loses its appetite; we’d all just figure out how to do the killing ourselves pretty damn fast.
I honestly feel like if we’re going to sit around labeling someone a war criminal, there are a whole lot of more pressing life details we should probably be looking at first—things that actually carry weight, you know? It seems a bit much to focus on whether or not someone ever slaughtered an animal, when we could be discussing far more consequential stuff, like whether their mother actually loved them, or if they were getting bullied back in kindergarten, or even just whether they had a fulfilling romantic life. I mean, does it really matter if you've lacked attention growing up, or if you didn't eat quite enough peanut butter in your lifetime, when compared to the actual gravity of the crimes being discussed? It all feels a bit misplaced.
Honestly, Andy really owes those folks an apology. I mean, unless he was just trolling the whole time, which would be even worse because you shouldn't be pulling stunts like that when you're holding down a moderator position. Personally, I could never live with myself if I did something like that; being a moderator comes with a certain level of responsibility that he clearly just ignored.
Look, if you’re asking whether being a war criminal matters, the answer is obviously no. It doesn't matter at all. Look, at the end of the day, what really matters isn't just the act itself, but the specific nature of the crime—you know, the actual methodology used to pull it off. There’s a massive difference between just pulling a trigger and actually getting your hands dirty, picking up a blade, and doing the real work. One thing is easy enough, but having the stomach to look someone in the eye and handle business that way? That’s a whole different level of grit, and honestly, most people just don't have it in them.
I haven't sent anyone off to any kind of fight, nor do I believe we’re actually engaged in some sort of war over here quite the opposite, really; this Forum is just a space for swapping ideas and having heated debates, which means there’s absolutely no room for advertisers or foreign agitators looking for an angle
if I’m being completely honest, my biggest headache is political correctness—both from those who try to weaponize this platform for their own agendas and my own stupidity in letting just about anything slide in the name of free speech, which inevitably lets all sorts of nonsense slip through the cracks one thing I am certain of: my people will never take power, simply because I don't have any of them as for those folks who are basically on a leash, answering to various masters, they’d probably be better off starting their own little corner of the internet so they can get a realistic look at how much they actually matter and how much of an audience they can truly pull in
Attacking a pig slaughter? Seriously? Not in a million years!!! Look, as a self-proclaimed devotee of sausages, liver, and all those other delicacies made from freshly processed livestock, I wouldn't dream of even whispering a word against the butcher's craft in my wildest dreams. But at the same time, I’m fully aware of that empathetic side of my psyche—that part where it isn't exactly easy to drive a knife home, listen to those final death rattles, and watch the blood start to pool. I’ll go out on a limb here and say that some city kid, someone who has probably never even been close to actual death, would witness this and immediately join the Green Party just to escape the trauma; it would easily be the most harrowing experience of their entire lives. On the flip side, you have kids raised out in the rural Heartland, where raising and processing animals is just a completely normal, everyday part of life, and they’re probably actually feeling pretty proud of their very first bloody experience.
Rebecca Martinez4 said:I mean, honestly, if someone’s going to make such an obnoxious claim in those controversial posts by Endymion, they really ought to have some actual data to back it up, rather than just relying on their own gut feeling or whatever instinct they think they have, because we all know what most of that is actually based on in most cases. It's just pure bullshit, I guess.
Honestly, it’s just an embarrassment, I guess.😢
So, I was just sitting here wondering... did some hillbilly types from out of town beat up Luka Ritz, or was it more like those aggressive city punks? I guess it’s hard to say with these kinds of fights, maybe.
Look, there’s a massive difference between just getting into a scrap and what happened in Cologne—it’s a whole different beast entirely. Statistically speaking, the percentage of people who actually have the stomach to take a life without having gone through some kind of rigorous training or psychological conditioning is basically zero. It’s a negligible number, really. Most folks just aren't built that way naturally.
well, let's be honest, women have actually proven to be far more ruthless than men when it comes to warfare 😁
go ahead and hand a hunting knife to some high school kid from a suburb like Chicago and watch how people react then, just for the sake of comparison, give that same blade to a kid raised out in the rural Midwest, where that kind of thing is just part of the scenery
once you take your notes on those two scenarios, I don't think there will be any doubt left about who's tougher
Maria Nelson12 said:So, I guess if this whole discussion about the Manolić investigation and Boljkovac is centered on crimes committed sixty years ago, we aren't allowed to actually talk about the motivations behind those crimes because that would be "derailing"? I mean, if they didn't have some kind of reason for committing those crimes, they wouldn't have done them in the first place, and then there wouldn't even be a topic to discuss. That seems like a pretty valid way to expand the conversation.
But honestly, I think that's only being called derailing because I managed to prove something in my posts that directly contradicts what the other side is claiming. So apparently, proving facts is "derailing," and that's why certain posts get deleted just to hide the truth—whereas when Resonatorov and his buddy F10XX post stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject, it doesn't count as derailing and stays up: I haven't seen any 'leftists' hanging out at the local boardwalks or beach bars.
I mean, what does people gathering at the boardwalk or beach bars have to do with this investigation? Nothing, really. But hey, whatever helps them sleep at night...
Do you even understand the concept of "derailing a conversation"?? We all know the reasons why someone committed certain crimes; analyzing motives isn't really a political issue anymore. The actual political question is whether the people responsible will ever answer for their crimes, and specifically what can be proven against them and how much.
Tyler Bishop56 said:Is it scientifically proven that people who slaughter their own pigs view it as fun—or even just normal—and therefore find it easier to kill a person during a war?
Then we should probably ban surgeons from participating in wars. I mean, they spend every single day cutting into meat, so under the stress of combat, they might just totally snap. Like, you say "good morning" to them, and the surgeon accidentally slices your ear off. Seriously, get outta here, you psycho surgeon, go slice your ear off at home for your mom and dad instead.
Yeah, sure, because a surgeon is definitely better equipped to handle blood and will obviously react much more calmly to pain and suffering than someone like Steve the cashier, who spends her shift snacking on expired frozen appetizers she swiped from the breakroom.
It’s pretty obvious and logical, so there really isn't any need for this kind of infantile mockery.
Alright, alright, my bad for being MIA for a bit. Aside from real life getting in the way, I just needed some actual time to digest everything and wrap my head around the context here. Now that I’ve finally finished chewing through the whole thing, I honestly don't see what the big deal is. It’s just basic logic, really—someone who's been desensitized is obviously going to find it much easier to go through with the slaughter than someone who nearly faints at the mere sight of blood. And look, if you actually view suffering as a bad thing, you're naturally going to have a stronger moral compass than someone who treats it like a hobby or, you know, a standard Tuesday. These are just scientific facts, and I fail to see where Mod went wrong, other than the fact that his writing style clearly rubs some people the wrong way.
Charles Chavez5 said:What you stand for and represent has been obvious for ages, and frankly, it’s completely irrelevant to this entire situation. Does your opinion somehow carry double weight just because you hold a moderator position?
Give me a rational explanation. How is it surgically possible to run a thread about the investigations into Boljkovac and Manolić without ever mentioning the actual charges they might be facing?
Any moderator who uses their own biases—rooted in some kind of ideological worship—to dictate what is considered relevant and what isn't, needs to be removed.
Look, I'm the admin here, so my opinion isn't just worth double; it's effectively infinite.
Nobody is asking for surgical precision, but the whole point is to keep a topic within its actual scope so we don't have to start from the Stone Age, talking about Ilir, or digging through the Ilir investigations every single damn time.
Before you start lecturing me about ideological worship, maybe take a second to reflect on your own little cultish tendencies, and while you're at it, try looking at the bigger picture instead of being stuck in such a narrow lane.
dustypuma5, why don't you just go on and keep rambling about it then look, I’m sorry, but I really don't need you deciding where everyone belongs, and honestly, I'd appreciate it if you could just wrap your head around that once and for all
It’s possible, though I’m starting to think we need to move beyond just deleting the pamphlets To be perfectly honest, this whole copy-paste habit isn't exactly doing us any favors, and frankly, it's getting a bit old So, I’m asking nicely: let’s actually try writing some original thoughts instead of just hitting paste over and over again
Since the post counter is acting up again, half the people here are seeing some tiny number even though they’ve actually dropped thousands of posts so...
I might be totally off base here, but I honestly don't see any glorification of Nazism in this at all. I get what people mean when they talk about those dark, historical periods, but I just don't see how that even applies to us right now, let alone why anyone should face sanctions just for bringing the subject up.
