Seriously relax. What party do you think I am by the way, since I'm so partisan?

I seriously don't think I can post anything remotely political without having tons of things I never said thrown in my face by the super sensitive people of any persuasion. Notice I didn't say leftist, brownie points!!!!

There is no such thing as ''thought'' diversity. The super-sensitivity issue is really out of hand here and everywhere....so many are primed to pounce and read-into any topic, especially race and politics...and WRnative is worried about Trump's Nazi connections...lol.

By the way, "weak minded? " that is an insult and personal attack. Whete do you get off calling me weak minded? That is a cowardly comment. I used to value your posts. Now you're just a name caller. Very disappointing. Who do you think you are?

City data is full of nonsense. Thanks for not helping wrnative. Had higher expectations.

Personal attack with no substantive discussion. Pathetic.

Your stock in trade is attacking the Democrats for such ridiculousness as unspecified Uber legislation, yet there are scores of Democratic cities, such as Cleveland and Philadelphia, with Uber and Lyft. Then you imply that Democrats are more likely to use Uber than Republicans. Democrats typically are more poor, and more likely to use public transportation, despite your anecdotal claims.

How do you know that persons you saw using Uber weren't media types, which greatly outnumber delegates, or lobbyists?

Just pathetic.

I said his proposed Muslim registry was Nazi-like. Do you disagree???

Thought diversity. You specialize in racist and political innuendo devoid of facts or objective substantiation. Mutterings of children are more interesting as at least they are cute.

Weak minded is a personal attack.

There are tons of anti under campaigns nationwide. I'm sure Cleveland has some. You just don't understand anything I'm talking about. Some cities ban it outright like Austin. Others restrict it from the airport like Boston. I did not say it was banned in Cleveland.

I was commenting off kamms. But I see uber drivers on beacon hill all the time too. It's not unusual.

I am not going to sick to your level and spew insults and names. I'm just very disappointed that you don't conduct yourself more maturely.

Yeah, you never use "leftists" or name-calling. I'll stick to my statement that such posts are weak-minded.

Especially with your pro-Putin blabbering, don't count me as an admiring fan of many of your statements and positions.

Well, not pro Putin so....

Actually I explicitly stated that.

Yeah, taxi drivers don't like Uber and Lyft. So they try to get anti-Uber legislation, but what traction do their campaigns have? You're "sure" Cleveland has anti-Uber campaigns. Please tell us about them and how much political support they have garnered. Otherwise, I have no use for your weak-minded, "sure" guesses.

So Boston, Austin, and perhaps San Francisco have legislated against Uber, but other Democratic strongholds have not.

Yet you ignore all of the transgressions of Republicans in Ohio, and I didn't even mention the Republican Toll Road which is so detrimental for northern Ohio.

If you are a registered Democrat, you are one very tolerant of Republican and Trump baloney, such as Trump's mutterings about Crimea and NATO, of which you specifically approve. In fairness to Republicans, many of them also are appalled, unlike you, by Trump's comments on Crimea and NATO.

You specifically stated he was tyrant, while justifying Putin's grab of Crimea and invasion of Georgia, ignoring his invasion of eastern Ukrainian provinces, disparaging NATO, and stating you wouldn't be bothered by tanks rolling into Helsinki, Finland.

Some Putin critic.

As with Trump, who according to his son has relied on Russian financing in recent years, Putin must be thrilled by American "critics" like you.

Bureaucrats and lawyers trying to regulate Uber into submission -- and out of commission: Ted Diadiun | cleveland.com

That was not hard to find at all!

Oh and Seattle has too. And Cleveland. And New York. You can google it all. Plenty of democratic and republican cities are frantically trying to regulate ride sharing.

I don't talk about the toll road because I haven't read enough. Kind of like how you should not talk about Russia.

I'm actually a registered independent and I don't plan on voting for Hillary or trump. I'm not going to apologize for being against military intervention. I don't feel bad for my lack of jingoism. I find this point bizarre. Also trump walks back everything he says ghat accidentally sounds rational. Trump is not going to leave NATO.

I'm really sick of you misrepresenting what I said. I never said I want Russia to invade Finland. It was hyperbole. I said it was way more likely that Russia would start another war in Chechnya than invade Helsinki. Please stop this nonsense. Good lord!!!! This is not hard to understand.

Putin is passing laws to censor the internet. He has an anti "homosexual propaganda" law that can mean basically anything he wants it to mean. He is responsible for the devastation of Chechnya and has committed a multitude of war crimes in the Caucasus region. There is somewhat compelling evidence that the fsb was behind several terrorist attacks on its own citizens. Russia outright bans western foods and other goods solely because they're western, forcing Russians to either go without or spend more of their money for worse quality things. Their money is also rapidly inflating.

I'm pretty sure Im the only person on these boards that has lived in Russia, speaks Russian, has been to Ukraine, and follows this stuff on a daily basis partly out of hobby partly as part of my job, and partly for my MA.

I see the Ukrainian and Georgian military actions the same way as USA military actions-distracting the people from their crumbling system and society at home. Death tolls from both of those combined don't hold a candle to the bush and Obama administrations. I can be against wars and still feel some are worse than others. If you find it so despicable that Russia has been involved in these places, then you should really be troubled by American political leaders.
