[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8912652, member: 683408"] My nerves are fine. Just because I understand irony and you don't, doesn't mean I am having some type of breakdown. It seems YOU might be getting triggered again, though. If your concern is politically-motivated violence, you might want to look closer at your own people: Right-wing extremist violence has been deadlier than left-wing violence [URL='https://www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/the-rise-of-political-violence-in-the-united-states/']in recent years[/URL]. [I]"[URL='https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/how-recent-political-violence-in-the-u-s-fits-into-a-long-dark-history']How recent political violence in the U.S. fits into ‘a long, dark history’[/URL] [URL='https://www.csis.org/analysis/escalating-terrorism-problem-united-states']Based on[/URL] [URL='https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-17-300']government[/URL] and [URL='https://www.adl.org/resources/report/murder-and-extremism-united-states-2024']independent analyses[/URL], right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities, amounting to approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.

[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/right-wing-extremist-violence-is-more-frequent-and-deadly-than-left-wing-violence-data-shows[/URL][/I] I'm pretty sure you are the guy who, more than once, has threatened physical violence on other members here. Triggered, much? I think I am me. Always have. Do you think you are you, or someone else? Nope. Maybe better than some, but probably on a level field with most. My opinions are valid to me only. You still seem confused about opinions versus facts. You could work on that. If we are talking about irrefutable facts, yes. You can "see things" that 2+2 = 5 all you want, but your vision changes nothing. People should all see an irrefutable fact the same. I've explained this before, but I'll try again: It's IRONIC if you make a commentary about spelling, grammar, etc, but make spelling/grammar/etc mistakes IN YOUR COMMENTARY. It would be IRONIC for a first class racecar driver who has just crashed due to driver error, to negatively comment on someone else who similarly just crashed. It would NOT be IRONIC for that driver to comment, if he had won the race. Do you see the difference between those two examples, or think they are the same? [/QUOTE]
