The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth.

How long has A'gon allowed 12 year olds to post? 
Oh, my bad. It's just that troll, devilboy with his "own the libs" taunts.
All that from a grown man. I bet his mom is proud.

All the best,

I wonder if nonoise and devilboy would say their tripe to each other or other people in a face to face meeting.

I suspect not.
I try to speak to people on line as though they were a 200lb cage fighter who lives next door.
Try it guys, for everyone’s sake.

It’s one thing to stand down to a 200lbs street fighter. It makes a lot of sense. Been there. Done that. To equate that with an online jerk and troll is kinda misleading.

I’ve been here for years and just got sick and tired of all the BS that passed for wit and just simply answered back with some of my own.
(A lot better by the way...ask around)

Then it was break out the fainting couches and clutch your pearls! My god, he’s talking back! If you don’t feel comfortable confronting a troll online, maybe knitting is your next move.

I had a Nazi biker (a Vago) move in next door to my dads and had a pushing contest with the creep. As a kid, the guy down the street that I used to play with grew up to be the president of the Lynchmen- 4 Corners, back in the San Fernando Valley. They’d drag victims to death with their cars.

Students that transferred to my high school were stabbed in the main office while registering. When the coaches tried to stop a fight, the students would stuff them under the lunch tables and continue fighting. This was with all white dudes. You were either a surfer, a greaser or a lowrider. I was neither but happened to live down the street by some lowriders so they had my back.

I’m not saying I’m a badass. Far from it. I’m small in stature and never really fought anyone but my brothers. But to put up with this juvenile crap is tiring. Tell you what, the next time some jerk post his crap, say something. You’ll feel a lot better for it and the more they hear it, the odds are they’ll shut up and stick to audio. And, by the way, if any of these jerks were to meet the people I described, they’d clam up, look down, and not say a word.

All the best,
Nonoise

A question:
Why would either side not have respect for an opposing view? Can there only be one correct belief or opinion?

😏...well, consider that it took Jeff longer to 'get it up' than Elon...

...and SpaceX way bigger, too....;)

Oh, pardon.  Size doesn't matter....

Another great demonstration of 'money doesn't talk, it swears'...

Nonoise, I can identify with your HS 'experience' except for my school was extremely lame.  Had the 3 'social groups' mentioned plus the 'jocks' who'd swagger about but could only win one football game.  And generally only in the start of the season....

'Interesting trivia', discovered later:
-Head cheerleader liked to do so on LSD
-Quiet bookish guy that many disparaged was the school dealer of same.
-In my drafting class, one idiot attacked another with a T-square.
-Another (same class) managed to spill an entire gallon of ammonia while trying to refill the blueprint processor...took a week to kill the stench..
-One talented individual made a really nice aluminum battleax in metalshop...polished blade, knurled handle, all on the sly/discrete...

Then was idiot enuff to show off the results on campus in broad daylight, when it was confiscated and he was expelled....

'Course, this was in Long Beach vs. San Fran Valley....'Iowa by the Sea' had different smog levels so we could only see the 'mountains' betwixt only after a good rain...

The principal chided the families during graduation for cheering their kids' name being called (thankful no doubt that Teddy actually got the rag before being sent off to 'Nam...perhaps to return 'schooled' in a real bloodsport and subject to nightscreams....)

Luckily 4F by a fluke and a surgeon with 5 sons and allowed to seek a different path in life....

Any traumas, tribulations, trials, and any abject stupidity I've had to deal with have been my own and not by that of others...

Had a work mate once comment that I was 'the sanest person he knew or known of...'

"You don't know many people, do you?"  (1st comment)

On consideration, "Cancel that...you know enough already..." *sigh, chuckle*
