Ha ha; says the triggered ultra progressive who would give his left arm for government suppression of Christianity.

Can't a lot of things in this world be stolen? Cars. Jewelry. Passwords. Ideas. Land. Dope. Livestock. Girlfriends. Mail. Store goods. You can lose your password, lock combination, car keys, etc.

Your sentence could be modified to read: Religious man attempts to heal his son through religion. Also has guns and lives off the grid. Normally this would be an instant recipe for TheCount's opposition, but he's not a white man, so instead he's oppressed.

Yeah, TheCount really bristles when some people here challenges his economic views. He bragged to me once in a half-assed way about his credentials. I am guessing he is some type of econ teacher. I don't know his bigger motivation in posting these threads: Because he gets paid to do so, or because he's trying to toot his own horn. By the way, Sonny Tufts is a tax lawyer and pulls the same shenanigans as TheCount.

Yes, Mister Democrat.

What's really strange is how a progressive Democrat like you keeps bothering the sleeping dogs on RPF. Care you share why you made the thread?

You know, I sort of see a parallel here. Conservative groups hold a rally, and antifa shows up to be disruptive and violent. I say that antifa is not some grass roots organization of yesteryear. They appear to be funded by high rollers. RPFers try to promote liberty and we get infiltrated by Zip and his Open Society Foundation high rollers. Some people here are fooled by the ZippyJuan Group's superficial politeness, but that is naivete at it's worst. They are shrewd, organized, and downright nasty.

Well, look who shows up. The tax lawyer who is part of the ZippyJuan group, lock, stock & barrel. LOL!

I find some of these sites of the common man to be really pitiful. Rotten Tomatoes "reviews" are among the worst. Instead of actually evaluating a movie, the narcissists there will often just talk about themselves. It's once notch above the Youtubers littering the comments section with useless replies like, OMG! I love this song!!!

Yep, I like how the cat will look at you with those eyes, like he's taking it all in. Sort of like the thinking man's pet. Here's our fluffy pet of many years. Died earlier this year. His buddy died a few years ago. Pets really liven up a joint.

This argument is akin to progressives attacking the "rich" for paying few taxes. The progs neglect to mention that "rich" people actually pay attention to money instead of blowing it on lottery tickets and cigarettes. If you're some Wall St guy, then you don't have to dig very deep to see something like this coming. While some are sitting on the couch watching tee vee, others are paying attention. I once heard there are 3 types of people in the world: 1. Those who make things happen 2. Those who observe what happens 3. Those who wondered what happened

No, I don't think they are affiliated with anything like SPLC, some well-known Jewish groups, or Zionist groups. I once thought that, but then noticed that their posts have a definite neutrality or even opposition to Zionism. One paid troll is rabidly anti-Zionist, but with a very progressive slant. If I had to guess, then I would be about 80% sure they are with the Open Society Foundations. That group shares some of the views of Zionists, such as globalism and "diversity," but they are not pro-Israel. I don't really know who else but Open Society would spend that kind of money year-after-year. If you take time to really read their posts, then all have similar themes. I don't even actually seek out these trolls, but can't help but see the patterns.

Well, I gave RPF's three most prolific paid trolls a shot. I offered a bet where the loser leaves the forum for good. I did this about 10 times. None took me up on it. Now what would a progressive troll possibly have to lose after being on this forum for years?

LOL

LOL. Says the guy who breaks the rules every day, with every post.

Says one of RPF's anti-liberty posters who despises liberty and has disdain for this site and the people here.

Oh nose; a politician who broke a promise! Unprecedented!

Oh, another Zip trolling thread! Anyway, speaking of Kool-Aid, did you literally drink Kool Aid as a kid? Is there a direct relationship between the Kool Aid you literally drank as a drink and the Kool Aid you literally drink as an adult? Should this be studied by our fine universities?

Anyway, Zip is not really here for discussion. He is here to be contrary and to thwart. Does anyone know if James' school is all privately funded? Or, does part of the funding come from Akron? James has declined to call it private, and seemed to shun the term. Jalen Rose has a school named after him in Detroit and I think they call it private or charter. I wonder what would happen if you cut out all the bad curricula, gov regulation, and nonsense spending in public school. This chart shows that the private sector, tuition, self-support, etc. contributes a great deal to higher education. I say cut out a big chunk of taxes and regulation and make schools private. The 37% from government goes to nonsense like "gender" studies and other dysfunctional fields.

..

Is it this?

No, that was not in the study at all. That was a quote from the article discussing the study. The study only said the journalism does get the same attention on stress as bankers. It also mentioned how older journalists "bounce back from pressure" than younger journalists. Also, the study makes no mention of the occupations traders or salespeople. The study does not use either of those two words.

I thought it was funny how they used the words "scored pretty high" versus "scored lower on." The first phrase is more vague, while the second phrase purports to make an actual comparison. So, I looked at the study. Even though the journalists scored "pretty high" on value tagging, then did not score higher than the comparison group. In fact, they scored lower by two points (p.5). 11 categories. Journalist scores compared to average:

Swordsmyth, You're expecting far too much from RPF's paid progressive and "supporting member."

It's probably out of gas. Did you check the tank? It's probably out of gas.

You know, a thread just isn't the same when only 2 of you fellas post.

LOL.

Well, her "satire" is not exactly the wit of O. Henry. She just follows this goofy trend of butchering words, like her use of "surreal." I don't know how many times I've heard people use "surreal" when they mean "unreal." Of course, she wasn't try to impress with her vocabulary and use of the satire word. She was depending on people's illiteracy to weasel out of something.
