Residents abandoning shithole cities post-Covid
Re: Residents abandoning shithole cities post-Covid
As far as the most arrogant people I've ever encountered, TC Talks is at least close to #1. TC Talks should quit posting. If he's so important, why is he wasting time on this board?

You ask a very good question, indeed.
"Don't you knock when you enter a room?"
Re: Residents abandoning shithole cities post-Covid
Are you implying nobody here is important?
Re: Residents abandoning shithole cities post-Covid
We're not implying that no one is important, just that high level group broadcast executives only occasionally lurk here, and even fewer post here. Every day I ask myself why I do. I remember that there were some owners who forbade their employees to post here, and that they had better not discover that employees were using company computers to even lurk here.Rate This wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 9:28 pmAre you implying nobody here is important?

Re: Residents abandoning shithole cities post-Covid
You on several occasions have demonstrated that you have lost your grip on reality. Don't like Traverse City? Don't come here, it's that simple. Otherwise, understand that most of the world doesn't think like you do and learn to accept change.
As far as this board, I've been here longer than you and I call it a hobby. Everyone needs a hobby.

I've read "Rules For Radicals" by Saul Alinsky, and I recognize your attempts to use them on people you disagree with.
99% of the people of the world have not heard of Traverse City. They mainly know of New York City. I dare say I was in Traverse City before you were even born.

My point is that you seem to want Traverse City to be convenient for you and unless you like how the DDA and City Commission are running the city, you might be happier elsewhere. You cant argue that it's successful with a balanced budget, growing tax base, and popularity. Complaining won't help much.
As for calling me a radical; First, thank you. Second, there, are a bunch of older white men in this political forum (where we are encouraged to debate) who just haven't figured out that the world around them has and is changing. In your case, I am not asking for you to accept anything, just get out of the way. Third, you became a project of mine when you created a user specifically to harrass me. Sorry if my response wasn't what you were hoping for but I'm curious as to how you thought I would react to your trolling.

Re: Residents abandoning shithole cities post-Covid
These 2 comments illustrate the root of why I despise (modern day) liberalism. We can't just have a rational, logical debate about various topics. No, your side comes at the debate with a belief that your version of change is MORALLY SUPERIOR to anybody else's, and that as such, Conservatives are not just people with whom you disagree on things, but are actually morally inferior to you, and as such, really have no standing in society (ie, they should just get the hell out of your way). Basically, racism except skin color is replaced with political views.teetoppz28 wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 9:20 amOh, they've figured it out...

A certain radio host explains it this way. Conservatives think liberals are people with bad ideas.

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
Re: Residents abandoning shithole cities post-Covid
Let’s have a logical discussion… lots of the folks opposing all of the changes in society are scared to death in an irrational way based on what they are being told by people who know better but make tons of money off of it. Try a man on the street with many of them some time… even those from your side. You’ll be terrified I guarantee it.bmw wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 10:52 amThese 2 comments illustrate the root of why I despise (modern day) liberalism.

Re: Residents abandoning shithole cities post-Covid
You mean like changing from Roe v. Wade being the law of the land to states now deciding the abortion issue? Is this the kind of change you're talking about?
Sarcasm aside, your position here comes off as one of moral superiority - that people who oppose the changes in society that you support can't think for themselves but instead form their opinions based on the money-driven opinions of others. There are perfectly rational reasons to be deeply concerned about some of the changes that are rapidly happening in this country.
