How Biden can unite the country

[drillsgt]

Isn't that the definition of patriotism?

No knock on you, but I cringe whenever I hear "Webster's dictionary..." because there really hasn't been an actual, true "Webster's Dictionary" published since 1845. Since then, a whole host of books slap poor Noah's name on it to get sales.



You might want to talk to a German about this.


This really has nothing to do with anything new within the last decade or more. As I see it, nationalism ramps up patriotism to the point where one views his nation (which is often an ethnicity) as so superior that subjugation of others is a logical step.

I'll agree that nationalism has taken on a more derogatory connotation, but AFAIK, it was never generally viewed as a favorable trait.

Nazi's lol, of course you'd go there, the usual default.

I would get behind Bidden and Harris if they were standing on the edge of a cliff.

Yep in my bulldozer

Patriotism yes, nationalism no.

Both from the CED

Your definition doesn’t matter, HIS does.

 

[drillsgt]

Ok, can you at least give me an example of a nation, outside the US (which actually doesn’t apply), historical or current, that exhibits the nationalism you envision?

I didn't just join the forum yesterday I know how you get, i'm not going to play your games and go back and forth for pages, we both have our opinions and leave it at that, it's not that interesting of a battle for me.

I just think he might get tired of being so wrong, so often

I accept your graceful exit.

He’s a democrat. They never get tired of being wrong

CED? Lol. Ok
So if all the other dictionaries that pop up first, and you passed over, I can’t say I’m familiar with that one.

Or running around rent free in peoples heads that they feel the need to constantly reference them. Sometimes back to back posts.

?

It depends on what the meaning of TOO is.

In a definition words matter. That's not six or half dozen and the 2 definitions you provide are evidence against that thesis

I'm sorry, but if you enjoy "living rent free in people's heads," that is kinda trollish.

Is that in your expect opinion?

Just put him on ignore. You’ll thank me later

It's obvious you guys can't unite the country.

 

[buckwacker]

No, that's just kinda a definition of trolling. It's an indication you relish getting under people's skin. You can reword the post if that's not what you meant, but as it stands, it is what it is.

Why are you telling people to do something you won’t do yourself? And that 3 btw.

I don't have an ignore list and don't plan to start one.

What is it, when someone else FIRST try to get under your skin, and ironically your response get under theirs?

By putting him on ignore? Lol.

This new layout is a lot better when someone is ignored. It doesn’t even show up that they’ve commented unless someone quotes them. I never ignored anyone before because it showed as a giant blank space... now you don’t even know they were ever here. It’s nice.
