Unseen,

Are you one of those people? I’m going to admit three things I admit I was wrong about and then it’ll be your turn. 1) I didn’t think Ukraine had a chance vs. Russia; 2) I backed Tulsi Gabbard’s presidential run when it looked like she was the only antiwar candidate; 3) I invested $2000 in cryptocurrencies and that investment is now wor…

Enco,

I don’t know how plausible it is to be a bad hostage to the point that they want to let you go as opposed to torture, rape and murder you.

So you stand behind your implication that if someone doesn’t condemn something…[Read more]
