Kolek planning to go pro
To be fair he has a point. A large contingent decided to go "here no evil see no evil speak no evil" when that happened and that same contingent to this day will say things like "are you sultan's 1 friend in the world" rather than acknowledging just how much of an ass hole move that was.
Huh?
How hard is it to just acknowledge Keege did an ass hole thing instead of deflecting whenever it comes up? I'm not specifically talking about you but whenever I've seen it brought up people seem to have an issue saying "that that was messed up" and instead deflect and attack the poster who brought it up like you just did.
What does this have to do with bias and sultan's budding romance? Is wades sultan's kid or something?
Oh. Okay then! So the guy with 11K posts making fun of the guy with 8K posts is okay, then!Did Sultan's HR department get any emails from the Meat Eaters of Scoop? Where is the Crash man anyway? He's been MIA since he got outed as someone who runs to the HR department anytime someone says something he doesn't like! Talk about cowards...
Hmm. So the meateaters claim that they don't believe Crash would do such a thing as email HR departments trying to dox Scoop posters, yet the meateaters know which posters' HR departments were contacted? Interesting...
Are you sultan's 1 friend in the world? That's so cute.
Bias responded referencing Rocket responded.You responded I don't get why Bias brought it up in the first place. But both you and rocket chose to deflect an objectively ass hole move rather than simple acknowledgment and attack from some other angle. It boggles my mind that so many on here are so dug in on siding for certain posters that you'd rather ignore and deflect than acknowledge and pivot.
My only issue with the jokes about Bout vs American gun culture is the NRA infatuated gun lover isn't stockpiling and delivering anti aircraft missiles that get launched at Israeli airliners or other rocket launchers to murder minded separatist groups. Ironically, the same weapons that can easily be used to attack any "the US citizen needs high caliber weapons to defend themselves against the government" argument for AR-15s and the like.I was actually EXTREMELY disappointed by the prisoner exchange video, it cut off before we could see what brand/color tracksuit the Kremlin sent for Bout to change into.
In before the lock
I am beginning to think a wellness check to the mods' houses mansions is in order.
Well there is quite a difference between "Russia bullied the US into making this deal" and "Russia and the US made an unequal trade." The US wasn't forced to make a trade. There wasn't some sort of overwhelming political or public support for doing this.What I will admit to is not knowing all of the facts, so I don't really have much of an opinion either way. Unlike some people here, I don't create narratives to fit my political feelings. What I do know is that the guy she was traded for, while undoubtedly an evil man, was in custody since 2008 and only going to be imprisoned for another decade or so. The judge in the case was so skeptical of his initial conviction that she gave him the absolute minimum sentence allowed in the case. Is that worth it? I don't know...maybe? Is there something else going on behind the scenes? Could be. I do think the whole hand-wringing over him being an international arms dealer and calling him the "Merchant of Death" is insanely ironic however. I guess we only worry about guns that might kill Americans when they are trafficked by Russians and not the trade shows down the street.
You're picking nits, man. The Griner story was headline news for months, and the admin thought that getting her home would play well. That's why they bargained for her. Period.
The rest of your post is just unnecessary whataboutism. Court in the US is about what you can PROVE. Bout was a known arms trafficker and was exceptionally good at covering his tracks. The man sold weapons to warlords in Africa that armed children. He facilitated sales of SAMs that tried to shoot down an airliner. He sold weapons to al-Qaeda. He was a total scumbag. Griner was let go by Russia and in return they got a king's ransom and made the US look incredibly stupid in the process.
Bringing up gun sales in the US is irrelevant. Regardless, you are probably familiar with my stance on firearms.
They’re out celebrating grindrs freedom
So...not bullied. Thanks.This isn't whataboutism.I am not, nor do I particularly care.
Rather have the marine back. Who the hell is Grinder anyways and what the hell has it contributed to society, hey?
You mean the marine that was court martial-ed and BCDed? Also, don't you only like war heroes that don't get captured?
I see this board has more than one Grindr user. At least you're not alone, Lenny! I wonder if any Scoopers have met in real life through the app without knowing it. Not surprised to see who those posters are.
. Who the hell is Grinder anyways and what the hell has it contributed to society, hey?
You are giving nads and TAMU a run for their money as least funny poster.
Your hero sold out the country for traitor Beau Bergdahl.Maybe we as a country shouldn't leave any US citizen behind. Too late for the current administration though.
Yes, bullied. The US wanted her back, and Russia bullied the US into giving up a lot to get her.
You tried to bring up guns in the US to deflect from my argument. So yes, that is called whataboutism.
You did, and you seem to remember everything else that everyone has ever said on the board except this. Sooooo I don't believe you.
Again, that's not what "bullied" means. You just can't make up words to fit a narrative.Then you quoted the wrong paragraph.Oh no. Whatever will I do.You don't like the deal. That's fine. As I said, I have no idea about it yet. But just be honest...you used a word that doesn't make sense and you are sticking too it instead of admitting error.
Ah yes. The guy with 11K+ posts making fun of someone else for how much time they spend on MUScoop. Lol.How much more time do you spend on Grindr than you do on Scoop?
