    I didn’t state it did my friend.
    I just didn’t hop on the hate train like everyone else because “my guy” isn’t in office. It isn’t my style. I have told you guys this before.

    Of course P2P is a bad thing. But it is nothing new.
    Is it something that should be accepted? Certainly not...

    Cheers

    Man remember when Trumpkins were shitting their pants over SA giving money to the Clinton charity, i.e. not even Clinton herself or her campaign?
    2014 Gamergate: "If you want games without hyper sexualized female characters and representation, then learn to code!"
    2023: "What's with all these massively successful games with ugly (realistic) women? How could this have happened?!"

    You mean the increase in goods China is going to buy from America that they were planning to do so regardless of Trump?

    Which is a strange thing to say... if this is something that is the same all the time, shouldn’t you have learned why it’s a problem by now? Like, if you discover that thing that has been pricking you your whole life, would you act to remove it or just shrug due to its longevity?

    It is a problem, and it is a good thing that it is aired. I simply can't help but be dry and cynical in response, as if Trump doing it this time will make it cool enough to be finally widely denounced and acted against.

    Really? Do you really believe this? That Trump is just more of the same?

    Cause -- this may not be something you are willing to believe -- but that flies in the face of just about any metric. From honesty, to corruption, to scandal.

    This is only benefits those that are far worse than the norm. Those are the only ones that benefit from you giving enough shit to say it’s all the same, instead of point out it’s a problem.

    Again, if this is the "same shit" then surely you all can link to plenty of examples of corruption and pay for play this direct, on this level (presidential level), and on this scope from previous administrations.

    I'd love to read all about it!

    He cares more to say it doesn’t mater, then to point out his issue with it. He made the choice to say it happens all the time, instead of saying he has a problem with it each time it happens. He is not just the reason it happens, he actively chooses to push for it to be accepted as the norm.

    Ah... but I have denounced it. I stated it is a “bad thing” my friend.

    Yes, but I was not going to bring up you being a hypocrite... there is enough on the plate as it is.

    You act as if the hate is invalid. And as if the attempt to deflect weren't obvious. Doesn't matter what anyone else once did. It's happening now, and it's fucking unacceptable regardless who's sitting in the big boy chair. But, that said, this is particularly noteworthy, because the fucker sitting in that chair ran his campaign claiming he was going to be fighting this very type of shit. And no president that I can remember has pulled this shit out in full view.

    Just dick swinging in the wind, not giving a fuck who can see.

    Nah... like I always say “haters are gonna hate”. I just choose not to hate to be hater, it simply isn’t my style. I am a lover not a hater. Lovers see the glass as half full where as haters see it as half empty.

    In what way was I a hypocrite my friend? I have denounced the act. You even quoted me denouncing it.

    Cheers

    Except there are clear metrics to indicate this is not a case of SSDD.

    But keep banging on that "above it all" drum. Cause maybe there is actually someone left that still believes you. Probably not though.

    Let me know where I wrote that, because that's not what I wrote in the post you quoted.

    I'll wait.
