Charlie Kirk will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously.

Thanks I guess.  Not a lot of respect given here to points of view outside one's own (not talking this thread specifically)

I'm just a guy with an opinion, but if I could add anything here I'd say that I wish we could all just keep to criticizing other's ideas, but stop short of attacking another's *person*....there is a difference (and I feel it's very important).

Try to take the high road-it's worth it.

I'm not criticizing anyone here by the way; just trying to articulate something I've been pondering for a looooong time. The level of rancor these days is just awful.

Oooooffff.... you should have been around 25 years ago on the original forum.... you'd have melted....

Was it the Wild West back then?

(And I didn't mean rancor *here* on this group...just generally these days in all sorts of places. It's really unfortunate! And sadly, I don't think we benefit from this....we're not getting better/smarter/faster/you name it....just angrier).

Was it the Wild West back then?

Probably like a 2000's Xbox Live Halo lobby with more metal-themed insults, and blue-collar politics. Can't imagine how the Bill Clinton years and 9/11 played out around here. Speaking of, 24 years ago today.

Back in the early days, even the tech support could get brutal.

It's still too soon to know, but a local news outlet just released this

You're right and I think if I just block a couple specific people I get along with the rest of you pretty well

Charlie was one of the few I could listen to discuss politics and not get in a rage. loved how he always took the time to listen to others and shared his views very respectfully. did not view every thing as he but he shure made me go hum? on quite a few subjects.

I am raging regarding his assassination what a stupid way to try and solve the social disconnect in our society.

Keep cool all.

Yeah and even CNC Software folks had things like "Don't make me regret helping you" in their siggies.

That was back before the thin skinned, skinny jeans wearing, soy latte driking effeminate pussies took over.

Those were definitely better days. Didn't have to worry about offending people. You said your piece and if someone had a problem with it, they'd come find you at a trade show and talk it out.

 

[Del.]

I wonder if the assassin will kill himself feeling the full force of the law bearing down on him.
Does Utah have the death penalty?

[Jeff]

Did "he who shall not be named" do that? lol

[Jeff]

Does Utah have the death penalty?

Yes sir!

[neurosis]

Did "he who shall not be named" do that? lol

I think the rumor was, that someone found him and had a "talk" with him.

Hahahaha i'd forgotten that
