What the hell was Obama talking about last night, whining about Congress reducing funding his ATF team? Was the man just lying again?
Why did he down size in 2012, with his dollars going up?
Dollars went up a bunch in 2014 too, with hardly any more agent put to work?

Even the sequester year is higher in dollars than his starting year?

Anyone smell Bullshit?

It's hilarious how you don't pay attention to your own people cutting the federal budget.
 
Hey Sly? What heck sort of program you running for dviss? He has 1711 likes in 6000 posts! How the hell can that be possible? Dang near 1 like out of every three post and none from me.

It's because people like my posts more than yours. Plain and simple.

I know that's a hard pill for you to swallow but I'm a pretty sensible guy.

You or MARIS61 might blame affirmative action though... :bgrin:

Well yeah! That is the friggin point. The question is why the kiss ass, I haven't seen anything to like??

You're arguing against a point that doesn't exist. That's called a strawman argument. Prior to your contrary belief, Your opinion is not the end all be all. My like count (not sure why you're hatin' on it tbh) isn't due to any "ass kissing". People just agree with my opinion MUCH more than they do yours.

Well I don't expect them to agree with me, learning is difficult. But I can't see a fucking thing to like when you post, so that leaves kiss ass. And man, you have it mastered.
Look at Denny, a zillion posts and only 2k likes, or KOR about your number of post and well liked at less than half your count. Faulty count or KA?

I'll be sure to like more of your posts so you don't feel so inadequate.

Well don't bust your ass, I am fine. Sort of worried about dviss' head exploding though. Shit he gets liked just passing out insults.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Dviss in person just like I have had the pleasure of meeting you. Both of you are true gentlemen and someday hopefully soon we'll get together over drinks.

I intend to bring the MarAzul to Portland this spring so I can practice the crew that will run the Oregon Off Shore race in May. I will give you a shout if and when I get there. But not likely to spend any time with someone that thinks I pull stuff out of my ass.

Need to take a run south though before that, do some work in the shipyard at Avila Beach. Should be back up north in time to run the race though, it runs from Astoria to Victoria.. A good number of the Oregon big boats will be in the race.

Wow, you're really being a hater right now. You call me out of the blue because I get more likes than you? You sound like one of these Millennials that I manage. If internet likes is what you need to validate yourself, then @MarAzul I will like more of your posts.

Basically guys he's calling you all kiss asses... Insinuating you only like my posts because you want to suck up to me for some weird reason.

But here's the truth of the matter:

I remember MarAzul from the O-Live forum. We've never really agreed since those days. He migrated over here before I did. When I came over we were using the rep system which didn't allow you to constantly rep another poster too many times in succession without "spreading it around". So essentially it cut you off. Since the format changed the rep system went away with it and the like system was born. This system, as you know, allows posters to receive as many likes as there are forum members each time they post. They can do this without ever being restricted from liking future posts.

Now ask yourself this MarAzul:

How many times did Denny, Sly, Nate, HCP, and Kingspeed post before the like system originated?

Your answer is in this thread:

Tbh I'm not sure why you're even concerned about it. And you know what? I'll go out on a limb here and say that Sly probably thinks there are times when you go overboard with your statements here (pull things outta your ass). Based upon our interactions over the years, I think there's a different reason why you wouldn't want to have a beer with me. Not because of that one time I said you pulled one statement out of thin air. It's fine. While I wouldn't mind sitting, having a beer with, talking, and listening to someone who has polar opposite views as me, (I actually do this ALL the time but you probably don't ever do it) if they don't want to what am I supposed to do, cry?

Why are you posting to me? You said you put me on ignore .
Well what ever, it is not that you have more likes than me. The point is you have all those likes and none came from me.

The word you use very often, just can't see how that inspires Likes. Often as a synonym for racist, which you use often too. The first two post you ever directed in my direction used racist.
Once when I was explaining the origin of the word "Chinky" which was true. I didn't pull it out my ass, but you called it racist. Then you use racist to counter my expressions of disappointment
with Nate McMillan. Then Hater, back to racist. I gave you no likes for your insight.

Yep, I imagine it is a joy to the people that are opposite to you. Do you get Likes from them in here?
Ha! it is funny you ask "What am I supposed to do? (you say cry, I say whine) but the, do action I noticed most, was telling us all how we owe you, reparations even. Hell man I don't
know who liked that fulmination.

Ah! I think we have it again! Hell man, I might even buy the beer, but not much chance with that black cloud hanging.
 
It's pretty obvious that you don't understand what the word a hater means. It doesn't mean that you hate someone. Look it up in the urban dictionary because you obviously don't know the meaning.
 
@MarAzul you're really on a campaign today. I get plenty of likes from both forum sections. Why are you so fixated on it? Just so you know I don't post in the forum to get likes. I post because I like to debate.

And I took you off of ignore. I can choose to ignore or respond to any post I want. That's what you do in the forum.

Lastly, stop worrying about my likes. In your response you didn't even address the rep and like systems. Typical.

Fantastic! A post where you didn't give me a label. Has to be worth a like.
