    For your analogy to work, that would
    mean I was legal when I registered to
    vote but became illegal right before I
    voted.

    Here's a better one:

    It's your 21st birthday and you show ID at a busy liquor store to buy a bottle of rum.

    10 months later, you come back into the store to buy another bottle but without your ID, expecting the clerk to remember your face from 10 months ago.

    "Remember me? I bought that bottle of rum. I was wearing a rainbow colored t-shirt. Don't you dare ask me for my ID again."

    I need to add "Missing the point" to the official leftist procedures manual, along with a tagline of "It's so stupid, it's smart."

    That's how they want us to feel, but they are the ones who are backwards.

    I was at a school meeting yesterday and the leftists said "we hire school resource officers to form relationships with the students, and for safety." When I corrected them by saying "We only hire them for safety, not to form relationships," they all started hissing at me exactly like snakes would if you tore the roof off their den.

    Imagine calling 911, and when they say "What's your emergency?" you tell them "I'm a teenager and I need to form a relationship with an officer."

    On 01 Apr 2026, Max Stubbs said the following...


    So by all means, cheer for yourself.
    You did it. But what did YOU gain? You
    beat the trannies, the immigrants, the
    blue hairs, the gays, the Joses and the
    Shaniquas of America to make room for
    the the "right" people.

    Let me know when it brings a smile to
    your face and the resentment stops.


    You missed my point, and I think you missed what DEI is.

    My point... Simple... I cannot change what policies were 100 years ago.

    100 years ago families were slightly different that today... Men worked out of the house, women ran the house and the family.

    Today you you need 2 people working, if you want.

    MLK, fought foe EQUAL rights, not special rights.

    My arguments are similar. I think man or woman, light or dark skin, y'all should have the same opportunities. Hard work with great ideas and you'll prosper.

    This is an argument of equality.

    Your argument is Equity... Equity is the E in the DEI phrase.

    Equality is giving someone, non-deserving, a position because she/they/them had a vagina and that vagina was darker because they/them are darker.

    Not because they/them went to school and worked at their studies and was accomplish in their field of expertise. No, just because they had a vagina.

    Other more accomplished people missed out because dark vagina person made it in because of DEI.

    Equity looks at the outcome of things... Doesn't matter how hard you work, study and come up with great ideas... Dark Vagina person wins.

    Maybe 100 years ago more women may have risen to the top... maybe... but in 2026 you can study and work hard and be all you want to be...

    Today you don't need Equity you just need Equality. A female or male, regardless of who applies, gets in based on their merit and skills.

    I want to see a fully qualified Doctor, regardless of their gender or hair color.

    You on the other hand would like to see a DEI Doctor who got their job based on their vagina and not their skills.

    Go to they/them.

    I just believe in merit.

    BTW, I was at one time a migrant to the US. I entered legally, filed all the paperwork legally and have NEVER asked the US government for nothing.

    If I didn't have enough money to eat I did without. I paid my rent/mortgage or any debt before I did things for myself. I was not a burden on the system or other people.

    If you go and invent the next biggest and best thing, do it, and I'll say great job.

    He didn't miss your point. Rather he consciously ignored you point because it violated his false Narrative.

    worked out of the house, women ran the house and the family.

    Mostly due to the "entitlement" programs and massive fraud (especially today).

    MLK, fought foe EQUAL rights, not special rights.

    Remember that in Max's delusion, all white people get special rights. So in his mind (what, about 32K or RAM?) "equal rights" = "the mytical special rights white people have".

    My arguments are similar. I think man or woman, light or dark skin,
    y'all should have the same opportunities. Hard work with great ideas

    But that's Meritocracy. The Left is opposed to that because they are all stupid, worthless people only fit to be baristas (who don't strike) or floor cleaners.

    If you go and invent the next biggest and best thing, do it, and I'll
    say great job.

    The problem is that he's not capable. He's not capable of even getting a job that would pay enough so he could move out of his mom's basement.

    So like a good Marxist, he wants to take what successful people have made calling it "compassion", or "equity", etc. so that he can have enough money.

    On Fidonet I talk to them, but in real life I avoid them. Just today a lady tried to talk me about the "high gas prices" but I didn't want to stir anything up so I was just like "Yea, it's expensive." So I dodged it, but of course it bothers me that people care more about gas prices that they do about nuclear safety and/or 7,000 dead Iranian civilians.

    It's your 21st birthday and you show
    at a busy liquor store to buy a bott
    of rum.

    10 months later, you come back into
    store to buy another bottle but with
    your ID, expecting the clerk to
    remember your face from 10 months ag

    "Remember me? I bought that bottle o
    rum. I was wearing a rainbow colored
    t-shirt. Don't you dare ask me for m
    ID again."

    This is a much better analogy, I will
    grant you. However the issue is tht
    your state does still have methods of
    voter ID that are more reasonable and
    don't place burden on the voter. For
    example, New York has signature
    matching and electronic pollbooks.

    So in your scenario, the equivalent
    would be a liquor store that has a
    record of your signature, where you
    live, and can look up your records on
    the spot if they don't remember you.
    Plus, since you used your signature as
    an ID, it cost you nothing beyond your
    initial registration.

    See, MAGA is operating under the
    assumption that someone like me thinks
    all ID is bad and that is not the case.
    I, and people just like me, just don't
    trust the government and we know, from
    looking at how votin was conducted
    nationwide from 1865-onwards, that this
    is yet another tactic to sound
    reasonable while actually introducing
    redundant and random hurdle to bleed
    off voters in the margins that would
    otherwise vote. I'm a southerner, we
    were the masters of fuckin over the
    voter by using poll taxes, ID laws,
    grandfather clauses, obfuscating
    deadline for the above, and competence
    quizzes. This is the same thing now as
    it was then.

    You're MAGA. You don't trust the
    government, I would presume. What would
    you do if New York was 100% going
    republican at the next election, and
    the Dems introduced some new ID law
    that you knew was gonna be hard for
    your 80 year old republican Puerto
    Rican neighbor to get done because he
    was born at a rural hospital back in
    the day and didn't have a valid birth
    certificate, but was a US citizen, but
    was also broke as fuck?

    This is a rel scenario btw. My
    Grandfather before he died was one such
    person; no one, not even him, knew when
    he was born and it was not documented.
    All that was known was that we has born
    at some point in the 30s in San Juan.

    Still a US citizen, still has the right
    to vote (well, when he was alive
    anyhow.) In your state he could
    exercise his vote. Under your rules, if
    implemented directly before an election
    like the Republicans want to do,
    someone like him would miss the
    election sorting out their paperwork.
    They'd be good by the next one, sure,
    but they'd have missed the one the
    Republicans wanted him to miss.

    Notice these laws never get pushed in
    between elections, only right before
    ones that the GOP thinks they'll lose.

    I would think that the school cop

    of the job. You know: formin a

    know which kid is most likely to be a

    That's the standard Socialist
    redirection.

    Make them focus on some, usually min
    problem and not the big problems tha
    the Elitists are causing.

    Horseshit. Your boy was the one who
    claimed he would lower prices and not
    do new wars. Now that he has blatantly
    failed to do so, y'all are coping about
    it hard as a motherfucker. It's not a
    left wing misdirect, it's a Trump
    failure.

    One that the left (the real left, not
    the Kamala centrists) absolutely said
    was going to happen.

    "The Iranians are blocking oil
    shipments," but the media knows that
    it's easier to program "Trump bad, g
    prices high."

    And how, pray tell, did that come to be
    the case? I guess the Iranians closed
    the strait because they hate our
    freedom, eh?

    This is a much better analogy, I will
    grant you. However the issue is tht
    your state does still have methods of
    voter ID that are more reasonable and
    don't place burden on the voter. For
    example, New York has signature
    matching and electronic pollbooks.

    There's no signature involved during the voting process in New York. You tell them your name and address, they hand you a ballot, and that's all there is to it.

    Signature matching sounds great though. Let's get that going next, after we get the ID checking out of the way.

    You're MAGA. You don't trust the
    government, I would presume. What would
    you do if New York was 100% going
    republican at the next election, and
    the Dems introduced some new ID law
    that you knew was gonna be hard for
    your 80 year old republican Puerto
    Rican neighbor to get done because he
    was born at a rural hospital back in
    the day and didn't have a valid birth
    certificate, but was a US citizen, but
    was also broke as fuck?

    This means that in 80 years time, he's been unable to buy wine, unable to get a loan, unable to drive a car, and his cheapwad grandkids couldn't dig $17 out of their buttholes to give the old man enough money to get a learner's permit. I treated my grandfather better than that.

    This is a rel scenario btw. My
    Grandfather before he died was one such
    person; no one, not even him, knew when
    he was born and it was not documented.
    All that was known was that we has born
    at some point in the 30s in San Juan.

    San Juan is not a rural area, which contradicts your story about him being born in a rural hospital. Was San Juan a rural area 80 years ago?

    Still a US citizen, still has the right
    to vote (well, when he was alive
    anyhow.) In your state he could
    exercise his vote. Under your rules, if

    Anyone can vote in my state, as long as they have the name and address of a registered voter either memorized or written on a napkin.

    "I'm a teenager and I need to form a
    relationship with an officer."

    I would think that the school cop
    knowing who the kid are, which ones are
    bad eggs and aren't, etc, would be part
    of the job. You know: formin a
    relationship. I won't pretend to know
    how your meeting went but I would think
    you at least want the school cop to
    know which kid is most likely to be a
    school shooter and which ones are
    harmless.

    That makes sense, but that's not what the snakes were getting at. We were arguing about a survey where they asked a question like this:

    "Do you think that the school resource officers are building positive relationships with the students?"

    And the only logical answer to that question is "No" whether you're in favor of having school resource officers or not, but the snakes get to walk away with results that they can use to justify removing school resource officers.

    e.g. "According to our survey, most parents agree that we need to get rid of school resource officers because they don't form positive relationships with students."

    They're blocking the strait because it's a security vulnerability, but how did it happen? Well, it all began when they started playing around with nuclear enrichment, and it all ended when they started killing thousands of civilians.
