Real life must be really tough for some of you.

If anything real life has become so easy for me, that I need to debate politics, and stand up for freedom of expression on a forum that has nothing to do with politics to even maintain some sort of challenge anymore.

But at least I don’t hide behind anonymity when I have problem with someone or something. I once told one of the more respected members on this forum that I would piss in their face for the entire board to see, be a fucking man not a low life cowardly scoundrel.

My god what a zero.

You told someone you would piss in their face on a message board? Better be careful around you I guess, didn't realize I was dealing with a real badass.

That’s right, and I didn’t hide the fact in a pm either. I bet you’re the one that complained like a little bitch

Nope wasn't me. What are you going do now tough guy?

Use my keyboard to type a bunch of threatening things to you on the internet obviously

Typical.

in 10 years the US is going to be like Sweeden.In 5 years the godfather will be banned because of that scene where that gay said their animals anyway let them loose their soul

That GAY, or guy??
The commission scene?? About selling dope to only to blacks??

Bronx tale will be banned for sure [emoji23]

Wtf is going on w the world.
Bunch of whimps.
Why can't everyone just be like the Jews. And take it on da chin

Yeah guy sorry lol
Yeah the commission scene about the drugs.

I can understand poor black people have shitty lives but a guy who lives in the ghetto and a guy who lives in a trailer park has an equally shit life.I fuckin hate pro athletes who have never had a job in their life try to talk about racism.

Trailers are even worse!!! I owned one for a year thinking it was great cuz I "owned my own home"
Man I was surrounded by literally a 100 Eminems. Who all in some way know him.
Now I'm on the good ole 6 mile. Knee deep in the hood. Only thing different is the trailer park come here ONLY to BUY drugs. Then they go back home to do em.

Keep me in da hood [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I’m with you brother. Hood over trailer park any day. But back to the subject at hand....this is a place where 90% of the posters literally worship guys who are some of the most racist, murdering scumbags on the face of the earth but now a 1 sq in picture is against their morals. I’m positive the boss wouldnt give one fuck what our avatars were if it wasn’t for the guys filling up his damn inbox with whinny ass messages. I mean there is literally a thread where people are debating over someone’s personal body count but a red background with some stars on it represents the end of the world to them. News flash....Dixie lost. Let the damn flag remind you how far we’ve actually made it as a country. I’m ranting now but believe it or not we live in the best times that anyone ever has. When’s the last time any of us drove down Main St and saw somebody hanging from a light pole for looking at a white woman. The faster we as a people can get past a flag or a picture being a problem the better off we are.

The faster we go with the grow some balls and STFU for whoever wants to complain .... The faster we can discuss our murderers in peace

Agreed. This is too distractive. Let's talk Roy De Meo killing women and suspected informants being hung on meat hooks through their rectum. Far more interesting material than a pitty preggy women robber comiting suicide by cop knee, or some Josey Wales flag that is no longer relevant.

So long as we all can agree that Jews are terrible, and that doesn’t change. Then I think we don’t have anything to worry about yet. Once the shilling begins, it’s game over.

What if the people complaining aren’t even active members? What if they’re just people making dumby accounts and are being paid by George Soros to infiltrate these forums and discredit all the right wing people. What if the forums are being gangstalked by Antifa and BLM shills? What if Grouchy Sinatra has been working for them the entire time, and exposed our existence to them? How long until I’m strangled with a scarf and tied to a door knob?

Think about it.

This.

Sol: Please define controversial.

Where does all of this end without it becoming inconsistent & hypocritical?

I come on here to escape all the bullshit hypocrisy I see in this Country. Please don't turn this Forum into the same thing.

President Lincoln had the Band Play "Dixie" to help heal the wounds of the Nation.

The Confederate Flag is Heritage and History and Not Racist.

[mafiastudent]

It's all perspective and what people think things represent. You can't tear down a Jefferson davis statue and leave one up of grant. I mean these people are so stupid they're defacing statues of people who were against slavery...so that right there says it all. Here are two interesting articles on the Confederate Flag. Again, it's all perception.

Maybe instead of people overreacting about things and taking everything and every expression as racist....they should educate themselves first.

Not that my voice counts for much (and I don’t even use an avatar) but I think this would be what one other poster said, ‘going down the rabbit hole’.

I’ve been coming onto these forums since late 2007. Whilst I don’t post often or contribute much, I’m on here nearly every other day; even when travelling the world.

One it’s been fantastic reading the posts and keeping up to date all things LCN, and the truly amazing amount of history knowledgeable posters have deciphered and illuminated. The recent threads on Al Capone and the murky beginnings of the Outfit are truly groundbreaking. I feel like some of the new knowledge is mentioned here first before anywhere else, and before you may buy the book.

The other reason I come on here is simple: to wind down and hear the guy’s ‘shoot the shit’ so to speak. Great stories, great banter, and the freedom to just be yourself. From hearing about the best places for some good Italian food in NYC, and heading some of the guys talk about the NYC of old times, keeps me here.

Believe it or not, there are fewer and fewer places many guys can go to just enjoy without the outside world coming into it, or a whingeing whiny prick ruining the mood. I don’t think changing an avatar will make any difference, but as said before, once you start somewhere, you never know how far it will be taken and before you know it, the place doesn’t resemble anything that you remember or loved about it.

E.g. I’m from Australia, and just as of yesterday, our football, the AFL, has started back up, minus the crowds due to Covid. What happens just before the game? All players on both sides in the centre of the ground taking a knee, to support BLM. Just the start of more political posturing from the left-wing clowns who administrate they game.

In short, aside from personal attacks on someone’s background, the board should remain as is, and if some posters dislike the forum they can leave.

This of course is controversial. I posted whole article because the ads are ridiculous and freezes up your computer.

More People See the Confederate Flag as a Sign of Southern Pride Than as a Symbol of Racism: Poll
BY EWAN PALMER ON 6/10/20 AT 10:49 AM EDT

Nearly half of Americans consider displaying the Confederate flag as merely expressing Southern pride, compared to just over one third who consider it a symbol of racism, according to a poll.

A study of nearly 2000 registered voters, conducted by Morning Consult and Politico, revealed that 44 percent of people see the displaying the Confederate flag a symbol of Southern pride, with 36 percent seeing it as racist.

Twenty percent of registered voters taking part in the said "don't know" when asked their views on displaying the flag.

The poll also reveals that the percentage of Millennials—those born between 1981 and 1996—who believe the flag is a sign of racism (49 percent) is nearly double that of the Baby Boomer generation born between 1946 and 1964 (28 percent).

More than half of Baby Boomers (58 percent) believe that the Confederate flag is a source of Southern pride, compared to less than a quarter (24 percent) of GenZers who were born between 1997 and 2012.

The demographics who most strongly believe the confederate flag is a symbol of racism are liberals and atheists (both 67 percent).

Exactly three-quarters of those who strongly approve of the job Donald Trump is doing as president consider displaying the confederate flag a source of pride, the highest demographic to agree with that statement.

The poll was conducted among long-running debates about the displaying of Confederate flags and monuments, which have been brought up again in the wake of the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests which have resulted from it.

The U.S. Navy Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday announced this week his staff is crafting an order to end the display of the Confederate flag in public and work areas on bases, ships, aircraft, and submarines.

A similar decision was made by the Marine Corps to ban the displaying of all depictions of the battle flag at its installations as it has "all too often been co-opted by violent extremist and racist groups whose divisive beliefs have no place in our Corps."

This week, a statue of a Confederate general Williams Carter Wickham was torn down by protesters in Richmond, Virginia.

In Florida, Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry confirmed that all confederate monuments will be removed from the city after a statue in Hemming Park was taken down.

In a statement emailed to Newsweek, Brian Hughes, the city's chief administrative officer, said they decided to take down the statue so the city can "begin a process of balancing how we consider our past."

According to the Morning Consult and Politico poll, 44 percent of registered voters believe that statues of Confederate leaders should remain standing, compared to 32 percent who believe they should be taken down.

The poll shows that a total of 75 percent of women who identify as Republicans believe the statutes should stay standing—the highest number of any group asked—with only 24 percent of Democrat women believing they should remain.

The poll also reveals that more nearly two thirds of African Americans (62 percent) believe the statues should be taken down, with 12 percent believing they should stand and more than a quarter (27 percent) saying they don't know.

No one else is as worried as I am about there potentially being a mole? You know, I think we all made our point as far as where we stand on this issue. But more so concerning is the fact that someone, has exposed, these boards to left wing communists.

No one else thinks it’s strange how all of sudden things that were seemingly fine for years here, are now suddenly being deemed controversial? At a time where, there are mass protests, police departments being defunded, shill movements setting up autonomous zones, where the President is considered a Nazi, and you aren’t black enough unless you vote for Joe Biden, and we just so happen to be a forum where a majority of it’s members don’t agree with all of that sorry shit. A board where, instead of just accepting the narrative, we effectively pick the bullshit apart and exposing the truth. Like George Soros funding BLM and Antifa, or how Floyd was part of a money laundering and counterfeiting operation and was killed as part of a hit. I been around this block FAR TOO MANY TIMES to just accept that this is merely a coincidence.

Plus, since when do multiple people complain about the same thing on these forums? I haven’t been a member here for nearly as long as just about all of you. But I been here long enough to see, that when typically someone here as an issue old or new, they have NO PROBLEM posting their issue about whoever or whatever it is in the thread where they started having the problem. This is just sneaky, and fucking screams ulterior motive and agenda fulfillment to me, and after really thinking about it my red flag has been raised.

WHERE THE FUCK IS GROUCHY SINATRA? MY WIZARDLY INTUITION IS TINGLING AND I CAN’T HELP BUT FEEL LIKE HE’S INVOLVED. HE JUST CONVENIENTLY DISAPPEARED RIGHT AS THE CIVIL UNREST WAS BEGINNING. HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING HIM? WILL THE CHARADE EVER END?
