I can't help but be amused on your attempt to lecture on DB using that lame "manliligaw" analogy that entirely missed the point.

 

Napa face palm ako dun.

kung sa tingin ninyo maganda yan plataporma at gayun din naman para sa akin ano dapat pagtalunan diyan?

 

pero matanong kita...hindi ba issue sa iyo ang poliikong lumalapit sa iyo para humingi ng iyong tiwala pero alam mong sinungaling? parang ganito lang yan kung isa kang babae mahirap ang estado sa buhay at sinusuyo ng isang lalaki. sabi ni lalake mahal kita at kaya kitang iahon sa kahirapan kasi may nga negosyo ako na successful lahat. nangako rin ito na habang buhay siya magiging tapat sa iyo. pero isang araw nakita mong nasa mall na nakikipaglampuchingan sa isang babae.

 

tanong...must she not consider yun pagsisinungaling nito when deciding and only focus yun magandang magagwa nito na maiahon siya sa kahirapan sa pagdesisyon kung tatanggapin niya ito at pagkatiwalaan ang kanyang pagibig.

If the ultimate objective is to be raised out of poverty, I don't see why love matters. But your example is flawed. First, that suitor is free to use his time, energy, and money on anyone he wants to; it's his time, energy, and money after all. By the way, there are ways to use that suitor's resources without putting yourself out, as a lot of women throughout history know. Now a politician wooing you for a vote is not like your example at all because of the simple, basic fact that, guess what, tax money does not belong to the politician, it belongs to the people. So there's that.

Your example also fails to take into account the point of so many posts I've read here stating, explicitly and implicitly, that one must look at candidates' actions - voting records, track records in governance, private sector accomplishments, etc. - which say more about a candidate than pedigree or FB campaign pages. I don't like the Marcoses. I don't like commies and terrorist-lovers either, and I hate slick pork barrel sycophants and liars who pretend to be fighting for whatever new issue is popular. Given those parameters, there'd be no one left to vote for. Pa'no na? Iyak?

When someone asks for a discussion of issues, it is in no way equivalent to saying we should take a candidate at their weak word. One would think that was elementary reasoning but I have to keep reminding myself that we are a nation that averages 86 in IQ. If people want to continue with redundant ad hominem posts I wish they would at least try to be funny or entertaining. Request lang naman, huwag magpa-pressure, baka may ceiling din ang kakayahan.

But here's the point, again: how many times do you need to see the same point made over and over before it gets b o r i n g. There are so many more things to learn, so many other candidates to talk about. Unless, of course, your only objective here is to be a troll.

OK lang sa kanya na masupalpal.

 

The more you engage him, the more posts he can make on the same topic.

 

More posts, more pay.

 

Their intent is to keep other readers of this thread constantly reminded of their chosen topic. For now, it's Imee's alleged lying about her education.

 

Repeat the propaganda over and over and people will eventually perceive it as truth.

 

Don't you notice, they don't even bother to respond to legitimate issues about what laws and policies the Senators should focus on?

Having backread 13 pages of the Senate Election thread, have to agree with you on this. I was looking for informed posts and a healthy exchange of opinions dealing with platforms and track records on laws passed. The agri issue you brought up is important. So are the WPS and the Mindanao issues. Instead there was way too much noise on the same rehashed issues. Each page of the thread runs almost identically to the one before it. Gets real tiring real fast. Can we consider someone a troll and ignore them if they can't even post their choices for senate?

Hi, DB!

 

It's been a long time! Welcome back!

It has, and thank you

We have almost the same cast of characters on here, I see. Still as caustic as ever

So what's new this dark part of the world?

Hard to get back into the swing of things on the PECE threads. Wish there was a list of nicks and their corresponding political persuasions in case anyone has 'evolved' their opinions since the Duterte admin.

There's a march for science that's more emotional than scientific.

There's a women's march that excludes conservative women.

There's an antifa movement that is downright fascist.

And then there are universities that shut down free speech.

With dormitories who wish to keep white people out.

Sigh.

The left are like Al Franken. They need an education, such as the one Gorsuch routinely delivered at his confirmation hearings.

I'd like a stronger heart.

All alone, what thought is most likely to keep you from sleep?

Avoiding a nasty bedbug called Wasted Potential.

What's one talent you think you've got that's as yet untapped?

I don't think North Korea is worried. I regard North Korea as a berzerker. If the US launches cruise missiles at them, their default reprisal would be to do the same to South Korea so if the US plans to launch something like this, it better make sure it takes out all the missile silos of Nokor. Otherwise, all hell is gonna break loose in the Korean Peninsula.

 

There is nothing the US can do if Nokor taunts it by conducting nuclear tests. The North has missiles pointed at the South and the US does not want Sokor, which has a US base there. in it to be put in harm's way because they launched Tomahawk missiles at Nokor. Also, the US can't risk a proxy war or even a direct war with China, a US trade partner, because of its aggression on Nokor. Kim Jong Un sure knows his geopolitics.

 

The US won't win a direct war against China unless it nukes the whole China.

The US would be more circumspect than that, I think. They have to be, they don't want to be in a war and Trump did run on a campaign of America's economy first before policing the world on the dime of the American taxpayer. But recent events show that he can change his mind; he did about Assad when he saw the gassed kids.

North Korea seems to always make statements when global attention starts shifting away from them. It would just be interesting to know how Trump positioned the US with Xi visiting, knowing full well that by attacking the Syrian military installations he was making a huge departure from the Obama doctrine of leading from behind. Trump made sure the world understood there's a different kind of sheriff in town, no?

Then there's Mattis and Tillerson facing off with the Chinese contingent. Wonder what that meeting was like.

 

I would definitely be worried if I was Kim Jong Un (or whatever his name is).

His rap name is Crazy Fat Kid.

Is North Korea worried yet?

Dirty Donald just instructed his destroyers in the Mediterranean to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles at major Syrian military installations. I wonder how Bad Vlad would react to this.

Like a CNN analyst pointed out, they sure didn't shoot the missiles down.

Interesting times ahead. But for small businesses, women wanting better opportunities, American workers in general, families in the inner cities wanting school choice, the energy sector, or anyone watching the Dow - there's a whole slew of reasons to be hopeful. Allies can be hopeful.

Definitely! Will at least try. Gotta love the queen of sarcasm and sass.

Because I'm not from here.

What kind of people are ensnared by your dating style?

 

Pwede kung naka-leave ka at ginagamit ang personal internet mo. May vacation leaves din naman ang government employees na sulit gamitin to extend an already long weekend. Otherwise naman kasi blocked ng internet server sa office ang accessing mga ganitong site during work hours. Pero pareho lang tayo na halos isang taon nang papel and lisensya sa LTO. Pero iba naman ang problema sa LTO sir kaya delayed and lisensya. Di internet related yun.

Good to know about your office. Really. But not true about the blocked internet use in all offices, having been in government myself. And the LTO, kung ano man ang dahilan nila, they suck. All the way to the top of that yellow food chain.

 

I am a humble government employee. Been with the government since GMA's time. That's why I'm familiar with how the system works and why a lot of times it does not work. Even yang DAP na yan. It was only declared illegal recently, but all Presidents prior to PNoy have done the same thing because it's legality was never in question before. And for all the negative reactions about DAP, people forget that government expenditure remains to pump prime the economy. If the government doesn't spend, it slows down economic growth. Kaya naging kalakaran yang DAP na yan, to re-allocate government funds from shelved projects to other projects for implementation. The purpose is good, per yun nga lang talaga, kung corrupt talaga ang Presidente mo, it will be abused.

I'm sorry. I couldn't not remark on this but...wala bang pasok today? Pwede na pala mag personal internet use during work hours ang sinasahuran ng taxpayers? Baka kaya rin siguro delayed na ng isang taon ang lisensya ko? Matanong nga kay Ate sa LTO.

I'd rather have debate with some off-color language than off-topic posts.

I'd rather read the opinions of people I've a long history of disagreeing with than the dreadfully boring posts of trolls with personal vendettas.

If Hillary wins, she's no Aquino. Of that, I am certain. Hillary seems to be a "hawk". If the Chinese wanna dance, she will gladly dance the South China Sea two-step with them.

Hillary did unscrupulous things as Secretary of State; that's going to be a tough battle for her. That is if the American public is paying attention, it'll be difficult to defend that email scandal that's being investigated by the FBI.

Whoever the next US President is going to be, I hope he/she proves to be a stronger leader than the current one. World security depends on it.

today you were far away

and i didn't ask you why

what could i say

i was far away

I like Lynn Collins, who played the princess of Mars in John Carter, for the role of Wonder Woman. She's got the acting chops, and a face that's both alluring and authoritative.

Have you ever considered going into military service - and why/why not?

once worked out so hard he threw up post-session

Diplomatic protests are a bit like appealing to boko haram with hashtags.

Seems to me you can have all the weaponry in the world but if you're not willing to use them, shed blood, China will flout your laws.

givenchy play

how strong are your fingers, i.e. what's the most strain you put them under

A NZ holiday with LOTR tours, skydiving, the works. Pronto.

When the mood hits you, what do you dance?
