Well, you're saying that, not me. So I'm not really sure what point you are making. ????‍♂️ If you have to pretend that someone has said something that they haven't said, you don't really have a point. I suspect you have nothing to contribute and simply want to silence people because you don't like what they are saying.

The people involved with Epstein weren't millionaires?!! There's no hyperbole, I'm merely making a proper analogy, rather than changing the circumstances to try to make my point valid, like you are. Because, again, you have nothing to say.

Lol. ???? It's a thread about dating and I replied to what someone said with an observation that related directly to that comment. I didn't just randomly blurt it out because I'm so "affected" by it. You're just making things up in a continued ad-hom. You have nothing to actually say.

How are they different?

Yeah, I think when you move away from collectivism and towards individualism, collective happiness decreases, while individual suffering is reduced. Something like that.

No "climbdown", I haven't changed anything. You're reaching.

Why would that mean I am crying about it?

You clearly don't If it was a gang of 20 year old millionaires involved with underaged girls being coerced and flown off to private islands, they still would have gotten into trouble. Similarly, if the girls weren't underage, there wouldn't have been anything to charge anyone with.

What suggests that I am crying about it? Again, bringing up things you don't know anything about. ????

I think it was. Show me otherwise. What??? The problem was underage girls. Why are you referring to something you clearly don't properly understand?

Indeed. People are waking up and noticing that their methods of power-seeking now involve attacking normal regular people who are simply questioning their ethics/motivations. People may be dumb, but they will notice when someone calls them a Nazi simply for expressing their doubt about something or something that concerns them. The far-left types have basically overplayed their hand. The only tactics they have is to shame people and intimidate them, and now that they're turning those tactics on regular people, people are recognising them for what they are. It's technically a positive, because the more they speak, the more they reveal themselves, as they have become so used to being able to say and do whatever they want. (And this is noticeable even in threads like these.)

Sure, right. Joe was involved in the business, spoke in business meetings, but had nothing to do with the business. Pull the other one.

And that sounds like an ad-hom. ????

He was being used to promote the business. He was involved in business meetings. There's no way that Joe or Hunter weren't financially compensated for that.

As if it's that simple. ???? Stop trolling. Lol. How? Do you even know what that means?

I don't think it was the age-gap that was the problem there...

No. Sexist double standards when it comes to mate-selection are quite apparent.

Did you read the article? It clearly says that Joe Biden phoned into business meetings regularly. There's no way he or Hunter weren't paid for that in some way.

Many people. ???? No.

You think nobody paid for VP Joe Biden's involvement in the business? Read the article.

I don't think it has been for years, possibly decades. The happiest countries are racially homogenous and highly patriotic. I'm not complaining, that's just the way it is.

Kind of lax. Reveal entire face and head before entering the shop, with door locked upon entry. I guess it's good that they actually still trust people. ????‍♂️

It's true. Despite what we were told in cartoons and movies, the unpleasant people seem to prosper and everyone else just lets them do what they want. I don't see how having a large age-gap can be immoral, unless there is a suggestion that the woman is uncapable of making her own decisions or is being coerced in some way. The downside is mainly that the guy is going to die years before the woman. If she's OK with that, and OK with his age and appearance, then there isn't much else to think about. (Most women who outlive their spouse are actually OK with it, unlike men.) I would say generally yes, but her parents should probably be OK with it.

Read the article. You think nobody paid Joe or Hunter for regular access to a VP?

Here we go labelling everything you don't like a conspiracy theory. ???? You missed out right-wing and Nazi though. Sorry, but even with a "thought stopping cliché" you aren't going to make regular people think they're wrong about something that has become common knowledge.
