Portland Antifa

I get it, but this is all the ebb and flow of society. These people did not make up their beliefs, they were molded through either their experiences or those of somebody they respect. That's part of why I push so hard against the "fuck 'em, they should have known better" attitudes a lot of guys on here have, because when you do that, you eventually wind up with Portland. In the car business we used to say "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered", meaning that if you're greedy, it may pay off short term but longterm it'll bite you in the ass".

 

They're not "excuses". Do you have any concept of psychology or do you just assume that everyone has exactly the same brain and experiences as you?

 

Big F'en Deal.

Try spending that much time being actually mentally ill.

 

The only people you want to hold accountable are
the ones who deal with life's downsides and fulfill
their obligations.
The worst thing you can do for the incompetent,
challenged, or just plain lazy is to take care of them
like they're children, because when the time comes
that there is no one left to take care of them, they're screwed.

 

Mentally ill is a whole different ballgame. And I don't want to insult you, but whatever you did with them, it wasn't research or psychotherapy, so it's moot.

"Read me so well"? That's your problem. You THINK you can read me but you really have no freaking idea. You keep trying to assume that you know what my motivations are by assuming I think the same way you are, just as you think you understand all these other people by assuming they should think the same way you do as well. I get that you've found yourself a niche and solidified your world view. You've got life "figured out", but you're nobody to speak for everyone else.

For instance, you want to "hold these people responsible" to teach them a lesson - assuming they think like you and will learn to make sound financial decisions and pay their debts. What if the lesson they learn winds up being hate and contempt, and they go into politics and push communism on us all so nobody has to go through what they did?

 

Negative. I want to hold the people who took advantage of the incompetent equally accountable. You say they're "like children", so in that sense, please explain to me why we have consent laws.................

 

You need to engage in less projection and
stick to facts and reality.

 

No, I didn't say they are like children,
I'm saying that you treat them like children.
A very elitist attitude, btw, but typical for
leftist geniuses, like yourself.
You're just too smart for the rest of us.

 

Good luck Detroit played the game of letting it go to crap except the car areas, it did not end well. You either have rule of law or you don't.

 

Starvation is a wonderful motivator....

 

People typically live,up, or down to, expectations. I expect more.

 

Portland is done for. That's why I mentioned living in an adjacent city. The homeless people don't cross the forest that separates them, and even when they do, Beaverton isn't having any shit for reasons I mentioned above. The Sheriff out this way is even named Pat Garrett, which still makes me laugh.

 

Can you do a seamless lease “ something I made up” . For example, you have a lease with a tenant that ends on December 31 . Could you technically have a friend or a acquaintance sign a lease for January 1st ? Months before the tenants lease expires ? So if someone tries to squat in the home before you can find good tenants. You technically have the house already rented and the squatter basically have no rights ? I think the key here is, on the January 1st lease it’s dated months prior and notarized . Maybe take a $1 down payment with a cashiers check to make it legit .

 

The Soft bigotry of low expectations.

 

Oh yeah. You’re an enigma.

 

People aren’t responsible for their own actions. It’s society’s fault for conditioning them to behave illegally.

For such a proclaimed “smart” guy he sure does seem to be taken advantage of on a regular basis. It’s not my fault! I was manipulated by the system.

 

They are close to being on the same spectrum.
