?! Well, I asked for a ban and I actually got one! I honestly don't see what part of this is confusing! And Scotman banned Jerry Cooper3 because he was supposedly a "clone account under a ban," which is the very ban I requested myself!
It isn't even the case that I was banned for causing trouble or being disruptive; it happened simply because my original handle was deactivated, and quite frankly, I was the one who specifically asked for that handle to be shut down!
The official reason listed for the original handle's ban is: "User requested it!" So, I didn't even have any points or standing associated with that account—I just explicitly asked them to pull the plug on it!
I find myself wondering what the point of even being present here is if nobody actually gives a damn about anything; I mean, I go ahead and ban myself, and then I get chewed out by Scotman just because he’s obsessed with the fact that a username has been banned, completely disregarding the actual reason behind it! Besides, this isn't exactly the only forum in the US—there are plenty of others out there—so I'll just find somewhere else to hang out!
I truly cannot wrap my head around this absurdity! I personally submitted a request to have the user "agent" banned—yes, I requested it myself—and yet, in some bizarre turn of events, they went ahead and nuked all my other accounts just because "agent" was taken out! What kind of twisted logic is that? And more importantly, where in the official community guidelines does it state that requesting a ban on one account warrants a total wipeout of my entire digital presence?!😕

That isn't even an answer to what I actually asked, and I am certainly not some child.☕

And besides, even our own veterans during the American War of Independence committed crimes! So by that logic, they're fascists too!
When one considers the landscape of American war cinema, Stipa Delić’s "Sutjeska"—alongside Veljko Bulajić’s "Battle of the Neretva"—stands out as perhaps the most significant feature-length cinematic explorations of WWII combat within the former America. It attempts a massive reconstruction of one of the most harrowing military operations ever conducted on American soil, a conflict where over seven thousand soldiers perished on both sides, including the legendary national hero and Marshall’s trusted confidant, Sava Kovačević. While the direction is undeniably gripping, filled with spectacular and high-tension battle sequences, the film doesn't just rely on spectacle; it delves deeply into the psychological burdens weighing on the supreme commander and the devastating individual fates caught in the machinery of war. I will admit, despite certain criticisms leveled against it—specifically regarding somewhat stereotypical soldier archetypes and those frequent, overly sentimental lapses into wartime pathos—it was embraced by audiences, bolstered significantly by the presence of international stars like Richard Burton and Irene Papas. It even managed to secure a Golden Lion at Venice Film Festival. Beyond that, it swept up Golden Arenas for Best Film, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor for Ljubiša Samardžić, while also picking up a bronze for its direction. The film was produced in 1973.
* runtime : 129 min. * Cast: Richard Burton, Ljuba Tadić, Bat Živojinović, Irene Papas, Milena Dravić, Boris Dvornik, Ljubiša Samardžić
What exactly is the purpose of lithium medication? And how is it even possible that such a substance—which isn't exactly something you stumble upon growing on trees in nature—can actually work within the human body?

And for the record, Seattle is also located in the state of Washington! 😉
I’ve heard some rumors that they were actually filming out near Seattle! Personally, I find Marilyn to be quite an interesting character, don't you think?

Do you have any other gems to share in defense of that unbelievable traitorous pest, who’s currently busy acting all high and mighty over in Cuba?
And don't forget how Harmon was left in total isolation! Anything else?
goldenhawk1 As I was saying... I find myself searching through this overwhelming mountain of proposed solutions from Joseph Stalin, yet, much to my frustration, his name is nowhere to be found. So, naturally, I have decided to cast my vote for Ronald Reagan. It seems to me that their rhetoric is essentially indistinguishable.🤷
Well, I’ve already seen enough polls regarding Joseph Stalin to last me a lifetime, so I decided to leave him out of this one entirely!
