How brave and respectable to not publish the registration information you looked up to find out who Adam Lambert was. :lol

Now everyone knows why. I don't know if another moderator has ever gotten so shook that he went alt-hunting, but it's pretty pathetic tbh.

Thanks for bringing it back up tonight, I kind of regretted not finishing this last week.

Of course. Spurminator told me last week he was Adam, how else do you think I know?

It was fun for a while but I wanted to end it, no one took the bait.

Well, I don't believe the same things you do so I have less inclination to hide my feelings or opinions. I have not had political discussions as stupid as the ones I have been in here, so I can't say who I would react to such stupidity IRL.

:lmao I see what you tried to do there. You'd like to pretend there's no use for pragmatism. As it is, it sounds like you've capitulated enough to find the safe space you need in public.

Not really. I just don't think I ever had the kind of basic political ideas that would start a fight by merely stating them in a normal conversation. You have to hide yours. Good for you.

That's because good people don't get into fights over the exchange of ideas. We're not antifa, like you.

Honestly Chump (if that's who you are), I've never known your basic political viewpoint. You've always been pretty dodgy when asked what you believe.

That's why when certain markets crashed, slavery was due to crash too.

Many Southern whites who were not plantation owners were in abject poverty and having potential wages undercut by the peculiar institution. I agree that it's not an issue to oversimplify; it's been months since I read on this, and I don't remember all the factors precisely. I would highly recommend the book I posted on audio CD for under $10 currently on Amazon if you find yourself interested in this.

Heh, my "book" list is fairly long, at the moment. I think I understand it well enough for my satisfaction. Thank you for the recommendation.

First and biggest spike is around the time many Civil War vets were dying. The one in the 1960's also coincides with the Civil War centennial. Good analysis tho.

:lmao -- yeah that's all it was.

Darrin thinks the Klan never existed, Jim Crow never happened, lynchings are a myth.
