You push back or get run over or join the ones pushing.

It's really just that simple.

I like the Christ approach. Just stick a fire cracker up the arse of those who deem themselves more powerful than you, more educated than you, and more important than you, by telling people the truth about the world and themselves.

You may not live long, but it is fun nonetheless.

So, no television, no radio, no surfing internet news sites, news apps and news related podcasts deleted from my phone, no visits to any forums or message boards or web sites ...[text shortened]... ou lead?

What might be the repercussions for me - both positive and negative - of doing this?
Well you can kiss you 13 games good bye for starters.

I don't think you can do it, unless you are losing your internet access.

FMF could become one of those Buddhist monks.

Only problem is, you would never get him to shut up or stop arguing with the other monks.

It does not surprise me that you believe the Christ was about nothing but violence and explosives.

You could not be more wrong, but it does not surprise me that you are that Boshetically wrong.

Well... he says "internet news sites", not internet sites in general.

Mind you, that still leaves Breidbart, 4chan and randpaul.com for him to read.

And of course, what you actually mean here is your truth, not "the truth". Your truth has practically nothing in common with my truth.
