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

@nonoise , Please stop the hate . I was the person that lived the life of turbulence . In the 80’s I was 6’1” and 230 lbs., took performance enhancing drugs and used stimulants and pain killers to help me go . I took a law enforcement job, and became an instructor. I taught baton, weaponless defense, chemical agents , taser. I am proficient in edged weapons and small arms , including class III.  I’ve ridden Harleys since 74’ and I still ride . I’ve been in more fights than I can remember . Today I am 6 years retired having received  multiple concussions, 4 fractured vertebrae, 2 ribs , torn tendons in my hand and foot . I had a total right hip replacement. Today  I have 4 herniated discs and stenosis. I am in chronic pain , and have a PTSD diagnosis that is recognized by my former employer.  Today I’ve done years of counseling, have 30 years clean and sober and employ a therapy dog . You continue to insult people with terms like “ Snowflake “,Idiot  and  “ Nazi “. You have made veiled accusations numerous times in other threads including hinting that someone behaved like a child molester . My joys in life today are my dog, my bicycle , and my stereo . Most days I can only stand for a few hours and walk no more than a few blocks . But I can ride my bicycle for hours and listen to my stereo . So this site is linked to one of my few pleasures and you and your kind fill it with politics and hate . All your discord is done via a computer. I’ve fought  with people that are on death row at San Quinton and doing long stretches in CDC and Federal Prisons . I didn’t get this broken by watching others like you did . In prison there are people that talk smack through the bars. They’re called “ Window Warriors “. I did all the dirty stuff for “ The Good Guys “. But now I’m 64 years old , worn out , and just want to hear positive stuff . So please stop the Bravado and Hate . And what does “ All the Best “ mean after you blast someone? Mike B , 

@ianrodger, My god, you’re obtuse. Did you actually read what I wrote, or did the shame you felt compel you to be so stupid in your response?

I’m no badass. Just grew up in a great part of the San Fernando Valley where posers need not apply. Practically 100% white boy on white boy crime. No minorities to blame, no lost cause to fight for. Conversations like these on this thread would never have happened. Our dads actually went to a real war (WWII) so we grew up with that mentality. Don't forget it was some jerk who said I wouldn't say what I say if face to face, implying cowardice. What I related is the fact that that's not the case.

You are you generationally removed, with no appreciation for the past. Like I said, conversations like this wouldn’t last 5 seconds with all the winter soldiers we have here. We didn’t have Proud Butt Bois, 3% low IQ, or Oat Keepers doing their cosplay thing.

We didn’t have posers. We didn’t try to "own" anyone, nor would have even tried. We wouldn’t have posted (if possible back then) the BS that passes for sport, here. Different breed. Higher standards.

Funny how you can take exception to what I say which is only in response to the right wing BS thrown my way. I say funny, because I don’t see you assailing them for their sins, which leaves one to think where you stand.

How’s that for noise, Capt. Fly by Night?

@bullrder, 
Can you do me a favor and stop all the hate, yourself. You post seems to show that, like ianrodger and others, you're perfectly fine with all the hate from the right side of the aisle and only get upset when I respond. Why the double standard?

This has been going on for years here on A'gon and it's strange how all the hate from those characters have never been challenged by you, as far as I can tell. If wrong, please point out to me where you've told them to pipe down and cool it.

As for name calling, I'v been called a traitor, a commie, a socialist, an enemy of this country, evil, you name it. Surely you've noticed but yet remained silent. Thanks so much for that. Like you, I'm all for love, peace and harmony (like in that Smiths song) which is why I respond the way I do, or didn't you notice that? What I say or mention combats hate and violence, which should be fairly easy for anyone to see.

All the best,
Nonoise

I’d prefer it if he took a bunch of his equally progressive friends with him and then disappeared. 

When some people die, you have to take a stick and kill their mouth.

@nonoise , I registered as a Democrat in 1975 when I turned 18. I’m not “ On A Side “. I was a Union member at 16. I get a union pension , a law enforcement pension and social security. I’m living off Democratic provided money . I think California taxes are high , but I’m free to move away .  You missed my point . But I guess I’m just wasting my time . Let’s try something constructive, I like classic Rock , what do you enjoy listening to ? Yes I’m being serious. I love you and you can’t do anything about it . ❤️
