Absolutely hilarious to hear the holier-than-thou crap on Hogan and Ozzy. Hogan said something 20+ years ago that he apologized for. He’s made more people in this world happy than the likes of you people ever could dream of. Miserable sods. Same for Ozzy.

I can’t take this comment seriously, you purposely exaggerated the timeline. Besides that, to fully respond I’d have to quit the board after.

I didn’t exaggerate anything. He made those comments in 2007. Oh sorry, 18 years instead of 20. Big deal. He apologized afterwards and bettered himself. He has made millions of people happy in this world and the fact you are so triggered and can’t forgive a singular mistake says more about you than you think.

Hulk Hogan worked to harm the United States within the last year of his life.

Lol, please. If you think Trump is some existential threat to the country while overlooking the last several administrations, I have some prime oceanfront property in Nebraska to sell you.

It doesn’t matter if it was a big deal to you, he was 53 when he said it, when it came out he was 60 and he continued to show his true colors up until death. Not sure if he was drinking too much of that beer and it kept his lips loose.

This is my last response to you on this, this is as cleanly as I can put it without going too far on a forum like this.

“Continued to show his true colors up until his death” In other words, you are one of those people who I’m sure preach LOVE and FORGIVENESS except when someone disagrees with you politically. Good, I’m glad that that was your last response on this subject as I have ZERO interest in engaging with people like you.

My parents and grandparents had to elude the Gestapo.
My greatgrandparents tried to do so unsuccessfully.
I'm old enough to have had a traditional education in civics. And of course my family all had to take citizenship tests at some point.
Further, I have actual academic credentials in public policy.
I've professionally researched the Bill of Rights.

So don't try to con me into disregarding the existential threat.

Remember when the previous administrations sided with Russia, North Korea and Belarus over their actual friends and allies ? Me neither.

I'm gonna hate myself for responding here but, a mistake is ""I wore the wrong shirt with the wrong pants". A mistake is "I spilled a drink on the floor because I tried to carry too many glasses." A mistake is even "I forgot to yelling at a family member because you don't like their choices.

Calling your daughter's boyfriend the N-word 3 times and saying "yeah, I might be a bit racist" is not a mistake. That is intentional. And it's a big part of why that daughter bowed out of his will.

Aside from that, Hogan as a wrestler, had such a big ego, he reportedly never wanted to put guys over that put in their time. He wouldn't back wrestlers that wanted to unionize in the 80's.

And yes, he made a lot of people happy. Undeniably true, but there's a full story that some people don't want to acknowledge because their own experience is the only thing that matters. Nothing says "empathy" like invalidating the opinions, views and experiences of others out of pettiness and antagonism.

Please enlighten me on this “existential threat” that Trump poses, in his second term that didn’t come to pass in his first? The only “existential threat” is what Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and their cronies did to the incoming first administration. That makes Watergate look tame in comparison. And the only recent “Gestapo” was during the Covid lockdowns.

He said a word, while drunk, that millions of people, who otherwise claim to be horrified by same, say every single day. And then he apologized for it. Spare me your pearl clutching.

Donald Trump, whether you hate him or not, has done leagues more to promote peace in the world than any recent administration and it isn’t close.

I don't think the mods would appreciate me answering that straightforwardly. But I will note that a lot of scholars and other informed observers say that authoritarians taking over democracies are commonly in at least their second term before they really get rolling. That is definitely true of Erdogan. The Chechen war aside, it is generally true of Putin. I don't know how true it is of Orban. It's true to an extreme extent of Ortega in Nicaragua. It was generally NOT true of the famous pre-WW2 fascist leaders, but the democracies in Germany, Italy and so on were vastly flimsier than what we have historically had in the US.

By the way: When the Gestapo took my family members away to die, they generally behaved more politely than ICE does now. But that was probably a German-specific thing; e.g., I presume that USSR/Russian secret police or Iranian paramilitary thugs are worse than ICE in every conceivable way.

Again, this isn't the forum in which to explain why that kind of claim is utter bull.

Edit: Interesting how the site software doesn't asterisk anything out, but also doesn't render the last four letters of that sentence.

[Fencer reregistered]

Now I have to test what happens if I add four letters to the name of the Chicago basketball team. Michael Jordan was the most famous bull.

Edit: If one were to put an s at the end of the team name, the whole word would be spelled out, and potentially capitalized properly as well.

If you mean he casted a racial slur on someone his daughter was dating out of hate and abject ignorance, you are right. Millions of people over the years have felt comfortable doing that very same thing. Every now and then, a few offer a half-hearted PR apology that they don't mean just to appease the masses with no real contrition attached. Spare me your "He said he was sorry so everything's cool now!!!" routine. Fraudulent.

Eeep... this thread seems to have gone of the rails a touch brothers and sisters.



Back to the (off topic) at hand, I only learned about the existence of this project a few days ago. I am intrigued.

That's my bad. I shouldn't have escalated. I know better.
