    U give enough of a fuck to clamour in advance a loss for the Right. Another timw you made an ass of yourswlf, but we"ve lost count of those. Besides we don't talk of a center right in Madrid now, actually the country seems to still have strong divides since the civil war, possibly increased by tje 2008 crisis. Lots of folks far on the left or what they call far right, which is strongly Trumpist here.
    Vaccines are far from an obvious benefit for people at low risk from covid, quite possibly a liability for those who ve already passed covid, and appear to get most sick from the vaxx ( sometimes sicker than what covid made them, covid being a small health issue for most)
    If u and ur acolytes want me and my closed ones to give up our way of life and be coerced into health threatening decisions, ( the lockdowns already did tremendous damage, at least here they ve resisted those since the province reopened in May/June 2020, this despite tremendous pressure from central government and neighbourhing communities) u can bet ur last dollar I d be more than happy to see u take ur last breath in a gas chamber.

  3. I assume you are talking about gwb-trading.

    I thought about who he is. I looked back at his long term post history. Other than him taking a break in posting for a few months a while back, gwb is a very active poster, often posting for say, 12 hours per day. Gwb takes flames from both sides, but I have not seen him flame back. This suggests maturity. Gwb consistently provides sources, although the quality of those sources or their content are questionable at times. Gwb will sometimes attempt to further an argument using an disingenuous appeal to emotions.

    Based on the above, I see three main “Profiles” for gwb:

    1. Gwb is a military vet confined to a wheelchair who sees his posts as helping advance positive, fact based ideas for the benefit of society.

    2. Gwb’s primary or substantial source of income is derived from posting on social media.

    3. The final possibility is GWB stopped posting for a sufficiently long time and his ET account got hacked by a “Professional posting organization” looking for instant credibility.

    I prefer to think gwb is in the first category, without the disability, of course.

  4. I like KCaloun and hope to see him post again. Yes, I suppose him getting mixed up with “Battle-hardened” debaters was a bit off-putting for him. However, he has been around the block and has an impressive background, giving me hope he will be back or at least find a another place where he can contribute.

    The dude went into full panic when covid showed up on US shores, envisioned utter chaos, even stocked water. Still doesn't seem over it

    I visited North Carolina a few times...seeing a good friend of mine that was my commanding officer...a Lieutenant Colonel. He retired to some swinging coastal waterfront town in North Carolina.

    GWB reminds me a lot about him... a tough guy, can debate all night if needed and a prolific writer (mostly short stories).

    Well I'll never unsee his bingo wings in that workout video but he wasn't the worst. He is better off if he has.

    I have said it a dozen times, this kind of "debate" is corrosive and worse, carries into real life.

    Yestersay I read a bunch of posts. Today our local mechanic dropped back a car he was fixing an electrical problem in (car we use for guests) with no coolant, he overheated the engine badly and tried to act all innocent of his idiotic action. Two over-spark ignition coils were melted from the heat, god knows if the head gasket will leak soon.

    Instead of barking, I bit and hurt the guy. My missus has never seen me rough up anyone and is still quite upset.

    I put this squarely down to social media bullshit. This stuff is worse than a drug.

    Stay free Ken.

    yes, it's well noted you'd fly off the handle, go full fascist and gladly summarily execute people over cotton cloth coverings.

    Yeah you give him too much credit. A guy that can't answer a simple question here?

  10. Those from military they will snap at you, GWB isn't this type if he wasn't posting here he would be in the library reading books.

    Every Friday afternoon EST GWB disappears for few hours.OK i thought he goes to supermarket and does shopping with his Mrs.Since it's a routine i changed my opinion its a corporate type meeting, i don't think he is from military background,imho he is from wealthy family and something happened that constrains his movement.Also i don't think he gets paid for posting per se, i think it is from his stock portfolio.And this is why he shows this maturity i am doing well,there is no reason to complain.
    In UK they have a saying "Are you winning?"

    I went to his first post and he addresses owner here by first name,this tells me they know each other.Both been around Raleigh,not necessarily knew each other in the 90s,but i think there is a degree of mutual respect between them since GWB can quote posts even if blocked.

    Actually i was posting here for some time only to try to figure this out who he is,solving a puzzle
    this is only my view,could be off by a mile
