SW and Vent are polar opposites in a lot of regards.

@seeandhear: Thank you for posting an answer worthy of BA. That taffy pull thing was a great mental image lol

@Jaymie: I can't do that. I have to actively seek out and start fights with them because I'm way too belligerent of a person.

@BlueMetalChick: lol i get u, whatever floats ur boat, argue with u l8a 😉👍🏼

@IcePrincess: So it seems.

@BlueMetalChick: :)

@Brando: I think its just a counter-reaction to the whole Obama social sympathy politically correct thing that's been happening.
Like I think most people are pretty moderate but just have gotten tired of being told what they should think and how they should act so they picked a guy who seemed to represent someone who was willing to say what he thought and not apologise for that

@xCoinx: The internet has made it easier for stupid people to make their voices heard so it seems like there is a disproportionately large number of idiots now. Like Donald Trump's "Twitter army" posting shit like "with Trump as prez, niggers will be back to picking cotton in no time!" or the petition that they circulated to bomb Australia.

@BlueMetalChick: No obviously there is just going beyond what's acceptable.
But take the transgender issue or the men on here posting pics in frilly pink panties. An when people object or say they don't agree or whatever they get told to just mind their business. I think people can only be told to mind their business for so long before they say "Do you know what, No."

Hah, I gotcha. The triggering thing pisses me off because it's an actual thing with meaning. It's been taken too far by pretty much everyone, feminists and antifeminists alike. As you say - it's about PTSD and other mental illness, not just being offended.

@TyphoidJerry: My sister has a slight problem with it. There's one thing that legitimately triggers her. She and I lived through civil war in Yemen as children, so you can expect we used to encounter dead people pretty often. But this one time, we were inside a post office that partially collapsed and pretty much everyone inside other than us was dead. There's these insects in Yemen called death hawks. They're harmless critters, really. They're decomposers that feed exclusively on dead matter. And when that post office caved in like that, swarms of death hawks started crawling around to scavenge for food. When they feed, they make this distinctive chirping sound, it sounds almost like whistling, and in a very distinctive four-note pattern. We were stuck in that building and the sound of those bugs was echoing everywhere. The chirping made by death hawks triggers my sister still. Hearing that noise makes her start acting loopy. We were watching a movie on the couch one night and there was a scene where those insects were heard in the background, and her eyes got freakishly dilated and she got really pale, and started looking all around the room and acting twitchy and weird like she was about to run away really fast.

FUCKING HELL

@GypsyKing: I've managed to excavate the few fun people on Vent. They're enjoyable. The rest are, yes, pussies.

@BlueMetalChick: Don't know about Vent. But I have come across some obnoxious left-wing loudmouths, as well as right-wing ones, on SW - and plenty of calm people with interesting opinions.

@MartinII: Just a few hours ago I was talking with a guy who identifies as being an "ultra-conservative" who openly admits he only cares about American lives (his own words, not mine) and that he thinks it's perfectly alright to drop nukes on any country which is a threat to the United States. He also claims that the USA won World War Two by itself and that the Russians and British contributed very little to the effort to stop the Nazis. He even said "Russia would have been overrun and conquered by Nazi Germany had the United States not stepped in." Which goes to show he is an uneducated imbecile.

My favorite part was when an actual Russian started replying and he made mention that he's visited Russia. When she asked where, he said Kiev. Fucking...Kiev. Which isn't in Russia...

@BlueMetalChick: Good points! Equally, I could point you to a British member who says that Mrs May is a) a Nazi and b) a Thatcherite!

@ronisme1: Easier said than done.

@MethDozer: This site doesn't even have an app.

@BlueMetalChick: The oppression of using a web browser is suffocating isn't it?

@MethDozer: Not really. I prefer the web browser. When EP was still around, I refused to use the "MeToo" app.

@tenente:
