Let’s talk about hate.

Comrade Trump hates Mexicans, Muslims, women, he’s made anti-Semitic statements, called a continent a $hithole, etc. We also have commenters above that appear to hate people with pro-choice views (the devil takes babies from the womb?) and another who’s called half of California, transgender. That’s all hate to me.

And then calling kids protesting against guns naive or ignorant, that sounds like someone who doesn’t like or understand folks with views other than theirs.

This article just made the news. “Massachusetts had the lowest gun death rate in the country in 2016: About 3.5 per 100,000.”

We could save 27,000 lives if all states had the Mass. gun death rate - The Boston Globe

“If every state had the same gun death rate as Massachusetts, some 27,000 lives could have been saved.”

Yet within a few words, the hate flows through you. Its why you cant be taken seriously, but only as a fool who believes in that their way is the only way. You are no different than the "alt-right". I'd expect a lot more from your generation.

I can’t take anyone seriously who quotes Emperor Palpatine from the movie Star Wars. :laugh:

You either can’t comprehend my words or you don’t want to comprehend my words. Either way, I really don’t care. :thumbsup:

And the fact that you equate me to the alt-right actually shows a perfect example of hate. Talking about seeing things one way, let’s talk about the NRA and gun owners. It’s their way or no way.

So, you keep repeating Emperor Palpatine over and over, maybe the chanting will relax you.:laugh:
 
Rod,

maybe you should move to mass.. You might be happy there... But i doubt it

your hate will follow you forever

Still Walt, nothing to add but insults. At least it’s me this time and not transgender people.

California hasn’t slid into the ocean yet, Walt, and I’m truly happy here. Weather, gun control, great universities, Pacific Ocean, Hollywood, wine country, Boardwalk, etc.

Rod, they're correct. And for a reference point, I didn't vote for Trump and don't like him. As a result, I don't have a dog in the political race. I've appreciated Walt and Justin's contributions on other threads on GT40s.com that pertain to GT40's or SLC's. You seem to only contribute to this thread. Over...and over...and over in the same day. If I was a friend I'd tell you to give it a rest for your own sake. I know you won't, however, rather you'll likely dig your heels in and up your post frequency just to prove a point. In the end, it just equates to so much ranting. While you don't directly insult individuals (at the risk of being banned from a site you're peculiarly obsessed with), you do insult vast swaths of the population that aren't like you. Is it really necessary to point out that Tillerson referred to Trump as a f*$%ing moron over 20 times? You made your points on page 44 of this thread. By page 144 you've added nothing new or of value, just rants.

Now onto something less divisive (or maybe more): Justin, noticed you're thinking of an SLC or GTR...is that Ultima GTR? Tell me what you view as the pros and cons of each.

And yet, you continue to post to this thread. As I do. Thank you for analyzing my contributions or lack thereof. Don’t care. BTW, you do have a “dog in the hunt” since you’ve posted at a minimum your pro gun views IIRC.

Also, I object that I've insulted wide swaths of the population. Please show me. While I don’t understand (roughly 60% of the US population doesn’t agree with Comrade Tump) how someone could still be a Trump voter, especially after the first year+. That’s far from an insult. If you feel that way, then that’s your perception or interpretation.

As for insults, how about all those insults thrown my way? How about just calling my posts “rants.” I’m not the one posting about half of CA being transgenders, or CA slipping into the ocean, nor am I the person telling me the devil takes babies from wombs. For someone who’s pro choice that’s very insulting. What do you have to say about those insults? Nothing I’m sure, because you support those here with pro gun and pro Trump views.

I’d recommend you post your complaints on this thread:

Okay guys...
Lets not make these posts about each other. They’re pointless and not topical.
Keep as factual as you can and discuss politics...

One subtle but very important difference Rod. Pay close attention. I don't come to a site I don't participate or support that focuses on a car I don't own (or seemingly aspire to own) and go to the one forum that allows open discussion on off-topic items and completely dominate the forum in a way that chases everyone else away, including supporters. Your post to my post ratio is at least 50:1. It has now become a contest to try to get the last word in for you but the last word seems to be dozens of posts that repeat the previous. Have you noticed that since you've dominated the political discussion no one from overseas even posts anything? I would love to hear what our English brethren think about Brexit. And yes, when half the posts in the last several weeks are yours that qualifies as a rant. Here's the definition: "To speak agressively about something. or to take your own tangent about a subject and talk for a long time in a passionate manner". Now, your opinions are fine and I think you've made them. I don't disagree with all of them but I also don't need to click to this site and see only you.
 
Now onto something less divisive (or maybe more): Justin, noticed you're thinking of an SLC or GTR...is that Ultima GTR? Tell me what you view as the pros and cons of each.

Being 6'5", (250lbs and built like a giant sequoia-not my quote, but someone here who met me at SEMA while showing the SLC some years ago) the SLC is a very tight fit for me. At least the one Ive sat in. But I believe that one is an earlier car, so it may not have had the lowered floor and extended foot box.

The GTR is Fran's Ford GTR. Ive seen some pics from another member here and it is voluminous compared to the SLC.

Id rather go with the SLC first, as long as I can fit with a helmet in the car without any mods to the fiberglass/doors/etc. If not, then Ill look at the GTR. Until recently, I was getting close to making the big visit to Fran's Candy Store. But instead, we (as a family) have decided to move into a new house. Currently, the framing is done and they are working on HVAC, plumbing, etc. So its a pretty exciting time for us as a family. And family comes first.

So the delay is maybe a few years now, at this point. But Im ok with that. Im still young and according to one person in here, an avid "Star Wars" fan of some sort. And thanks to President Trump, my portfolio has performed remarkably well.

Ahhh, thought you were referring to the Ultima GTR, or Evolution as it is now referred to. I know this is off topic, but I was considering the SLC as well for awhile. My fabrication skills are a bit limited so I passed. I know two people within 10 miles of me that haven't finished theirs. It seems the number of hours needed can be steep. Congrats on the house. Yes, family comes first. That's why I spent the day helping my daughter craft a foam board doll house designed by some youtube princess called "Froggystuff" rather then work on my SPF and figure out why my brakes aren't bleeding with a pressure bleeder..........I need to get my head examined.

I’ll have to look that up. My daughter just turned six.

My fab skills are fine, but I don’t have access to the equipment anymore. I used to do a lot of work on my Jeep rock crawler at the base shop when I was in the Air Force (and had time off from Combat Rescue-which wasn’t much). Now, I just have a pretty basic set of cordless tools and a big craftsman chest full of everything else. That’s another thing I’ll have to weigh out when the time comes.

Hmmmm...I wonder what you were doing from 2008 to 2016. Whining about the President showing respect for other leaders? "Concerned" about his background or history? Just finding it "interesting" that he attended a madrassah as a child? And so on.

For 8 years, the hate here was all on the right. Muslims as "black sacks." Insults to transgender folks and gay folks and immigrants. Al whining about welfare recipients while drawing unemployment. And so on.

Now, the criticism is on the other side and...poof, it's "hate." Too funny.

The difference this time around is a big chunk of reasonable Republicans agree with Rod, myself, Doug, others -- this Presidency is a s**show. Trade wars. Preibus out. Scaramucci out. Hicks out. TIllerson "He's a f**king moron" out. McMaster out. Flynn pleads guilty. Manafort indicted. Pappadoupous pleads guilty. Spicer out. Bannon out. Refusing to join a climate accord EVERY OTHER COUNTRY knows is sound. Name calling on tweeter. Tariffs the entire conomic and business community know are a disaster (take a look at that stock market now my friend). And complete and utter moral turpitude. Porn starts. Cheating. Payoffs. P**** grabbing.

And Randy, nothing in the above language wise is different from what our President uses in public so hard to see how any of that is too offensive for a car forum.

Oh, and Justin, your posts about the kids marching this weekend simply to protest being shot in school because of a bizarre interpretation of the 2nd Amendment the right -- and apparently you -- have that everyone should have the right to own an assault rifle look eerily like the "death throes" of the opposition to black folks getting civil rights, or the opposition to gay marriage.

Change is coming.
