1) Truett
I have found that this member is very refreshing. He was a longtime devout christian in an evangelical environment. His firsthand knowledge is invaluable. He is well educated (how he acquired such knowledge other than sheer individual doggedness, I have no idea). He has the courage to relate to people(something I cannot do). He is amiable to even the most testy of us,....believe me, I am trying on people's nerves. He has the courage to speak his feelings backed up by solid facts. I give him high praise and respect.
2) JamieB
This is one of the most interesting new members. She had the courage to talk about what has been a taboo subject in the nation forever. She spoke of her own mental illness. That is called leadership folks. She blazes trails for all of us to follow.
Now there are many on this board that deserves equal or better praise. I just wanted to point out these two individuals. So don't feel left out if I didn't mention you.
3) A shout out to the theist that stuck to his guns, to his convictions, that withstood and withstands withering fire from me and others on a daily basis. I don't agree with you about almost everything, but I do respect you and your opinion. You are hard to argue with because you are the one believer that provides solid facts for your arguments....John 6IX Breezy
And another shout out to the new member that is about as logical as Nyarlathotep and that is very hard indeed. That would be SBMontero.
Just a note, sometimes I just pick a member and read everything they have posted in the last week or so. that is what has led me to this conclusion.

I am deeply touched by what you've written, Mykcob4. It means a great deal to me to be thought well of by you. Thank you so very much. I value your viewpoints, respect your command of knowledge, and I appreciate that the fierceness you display here was once a fierceness that wore a Marine's uniform and defended the oppressed from the oppressors. Thanks for everything, Mykcroft4.
Mykcob4: “ He has the courage to relate to people(something I cannot do). “
Considering the source of the compliment is a Texas hillbilly known for his bigotry and racism, praise from such a source is of limited value. That being said, I do respect Truett and John 6IX Breezy and would caution them to be skeptical of his praise due to his self-serving nature.
Mykcob4 is known for Psychological projection:
Defined in Wikipedia: “Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unpleasant impulses by denying their existence while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It can take the form of blame shifting.”
@ImFree
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Sef serving? What a laugh. Texas Hillbilly? What a bunch of bullshit. Bigotry? The only one that is a bigot is you. As for projecting, you have displayed all the classic signs of this psychological disorder.
What I am known for on this forum and everywhere else is calling out punks like you and dealing with them. You are just angry that I have successfully done that and that nobody buys into your racist rants. Notice that no one agreed with you but YOU. That should tell you something. You have NO support, no facts, nothing but your redneck racism. You must be oh so lonely. Too bad punk. It sucks to be you. When you grow up you might be acceptable to humanity. As for right now, you are a blight on humanity.
You have a choice. Target me with your pen up rage, or grow the fuck up. I bet that you will just continue your self-induced anger. So I can't help you. And you are in serious need of help. Ask anyone.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much fun putting Mycob4's denial, deceit and delusion on display. He is a mentally disturbed Texas redneck hillbilly man-child that cannot support his racist narratives with facts and evidence. I love popping his reality bubble and watching him squirm and rant because deep down he knows the evidence is not in his favor. Mycob4's hyperbole and straw man distractions do not change the numbers or video evidence which I enjoy watching him tap-dance around. Unlike Mycob4 I am concerned with the truth of who is committing violent crime regardless of race. Mycob4 is concerned with promoting a false narrative and ignores reality which is not uncommon for people with mental issues. Today, I am again popping Mycob4's reality bubble to watch him once again entertain me with a tap-dancing rage with out evidence again in response. I find his stupidity of reality very entertaining. He reminds me of Ken Ham and Ray Comfort because he lives in a world he wants to believe is true but is not. In addition to the aggregate video evidence I supplied where I challenged him to counter my observations on who the perpetrators are in a fad known as “The Knock-Out Game” his response consists of useless opinion articles void of aggregate video evidence which he would quickly supply if it existed.
Lets see if he can supply counter numbers on spree shootings. Here are some current facts on the racial break-down of spree shooters:
March 24, 2017
According to recent headlines. There is a large effort to claim that spree shooters are mostly white males, or that white males are greatly over-represented among spree shooters. This is a complete inversion of reality. The truth is the exact opposite.
Between 1/1/17 and 3/24/17:
White people were extremely under-represented among spree shooters.
Whites were more likely to be victims than perpetrators.
Black people were extremely over-represented among spree shooters.

Let the mycob4 tap-dancing insults begin LOL!
Yet another immature rant by the racist ImFree. Not worth consideration. The Forum members have voted and commented and ImFree lacks any support by the forum or REAL evidence. He continues to prove that he is a racist and lacks reality. His obsession of me personally is evidence of his impaired mental condition. He has an unrealistic fear of people of color.
ROFLMAO! More tap dancing because you know the facts are not there for you. Your simply wrong. Your a racist that ignores the public's risk by ignoring reality because of your racism. Public safety is the concern not a racist political agenda like you promote. Your such a sensitive snowflake when your proven wrong.
Tap dancing? Not hardly. I just point out that you are laser focused on crimes committed by people that happen to be black. There are other factors that you didn't consider or address that have more to do with the crime. Sure there is an element of racism, but that is just an excuse for more underlying reasons. Economic depression, institutional racism, lack of proper adult supervision, lack of jobs and positive activities, idleness, bad pop cultural influences. I am not promoting racism in any way shape or fashion. I am merely recognizing it. Instead of just posting a bunch of racist based YouTbe videos, why not address the real problem?
As for being a "snowflake", that's rich since it is you that seeks ME out and keeps trying your level best to discredit me with the use of projecting and an attempt at marginalizing.
Is the knockout game any different than cow tipping, toilet papering, or knocking over mail boxes? No except for the sheer violence level. It is a situation of kids venting frustration and releasing pent up energy. I am not condoning the practice at all. These kids should be punished, and in some cases, their crimes should be prosecuted as hate crimes. That doesn't mean that the media as a whole, is under-reporting, or misleading their audiences. You'd have to provide concrete evidence that that is the case. You'd have to find instruction by editors that called for under-reporting or misleading acts. You haven't. So you haven't PROVEN anything.
BTW crime, all crime coincides with economics. That is the only constant in crime. Not race, not nationality, not religion, not culture, not gender, not sexual orientation, not even geography, only economic opportunity. That is why and most everyone here dismisses your premise that black crime on whites is under-reported, intently edited to be misleading, and disproportionately reported.
If the management of this site eventually bans you for your rude and obnoxious attacks of which you have been admonished for in the past; the site will be improved. No sleep will be lost by me.
Just for the record, I find mykob4's picture of the hypocritical slave owner James Madison amusing but very befitting of mykob4. Madison owned about 100 slaves at the time of his death.

ImFree: Linking white nationalist websites to support your claims, just makes you look more and more like a white nationalist.
Nyarlathotep: Accusing people of being a "white nationalist" when their not is just a way to shut down the conversation when reality does not fit your argument. Colin Flaherty worked hard to free a man wrongly convicted. How many have you freed?

Mykob4, You related to me beautifully and I respect your opinion and knowledge on many of the subjects you've spoken of.
I haven't gotten the racism from anything you've said. I do see why you wouldn't open up to people especially if they rip you a new one. Truthfully, I am suspicious of compliments probably because of my own insecurities, while I freely give them. and although they make me want to crawl into a shell I know it helps me to be more bold about what I care about. Maybe I have Psychological projection. ill look into it :)
To Truett, and the others you mentioned I'm really thankful you are on this forum. Ive cut out all friends in my life because they are so not like me and very draining. Im really happy to be apart of these conversations with many intelligent people. John 61X Breezy that includes you.
"Considering the source of the compliment is a Texas hillbilly known for his bigotry and racism"
Can you provide an example of this? I don't recall ever reading anything Mykob has posted that could be interpreted as racist. It's a hell of an accusation and I think it should be backed up while being made. Also, in the future you may want to exclude the term hillbilly while accusing someone of racism. It doesn't exactly plant a tree of credibility in your argument.
Racist? Bigot? Self serving? Hillbilly?
Myckob4 is precisely NOT that. Myckob4 has repeatedly displayed alignment with Liberal ideaology. More importantly, That claim becomes fact after considering that it has been consistently reflected in Myckob4's posts. Perhaps Myckob4's no nonsense style may be considered harsh to some people, but I find it to be a very efficient way to peel the onion layers off of other people's claims to see what's really underneath. Furthermore, there really is no justification to describe our fellow member with the adjectives in question.
Thanks to all support, SecularSonOfABitch, JB God's Country.
@mykcob4: Thank you very much for the part that touches me. I do what I can.
Imfree, regarding your comments about the knock out game and spree shooting incidents, consider this: I think that in countries and cultures across the world, hostile behavior among various ethnic and racial group members is common. We see this in Japan and across Asia, Russia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Ireland and the British Isles, Central America, everywhere. Reducing these incidents to racial groups ignores the multivariate nature of the problems involved. Politically marginalized groups in financially depressed communities probably factor heavily into a multivariate analysis of why a particular racial group is overrepresented in a given illegal activity. Defining that activity by its racial metric alone distorts the nature of the problem. Japanese youths aren't especially violent. Irish youth aren't especially violent. Russian youth aren't either. But if someone is suffering under or at risk from a given group or activity, it sure looks like those Japanese or Irish or whatever youths have an unacceptable violent tendency. By highlighting the racial metric alone of the knock-out game or spree shooting incidents in the US I think you're making that mistake. A particular metric might well and truly be correct, but highlighting it as a proof point is misleading.
Many of us sense that you're noticing the racial component at the exclusion of a great many metrics that have nothing to do with race, so we push back out of concern for our brothers and sisters who happen to be black and are harmed by such blanket pronouncements of problems the one racial group alledgedly shares. And given the election of a racist candidate in the US and a rising tide of White Supremacy and nationalistic fervor, we have good reason to be sensitive to the kind of racial demonization that we read into your comments. That might not be your intention at all, but you need to appreciate the raw nerves and frightening current circumstance that exists right now. A more palatable presentation of the knock out game or spree shooting problem is one that highlights the additional factors contributing to the problem and doesn't reduce the problem to a single metric. In so doing, innocent and vulnerable people aren't harmed by their blanket inclusion in the description.
And with respect to the boiling feud you're engaged in: stand down, soldier. You guys will have opportunity to do combat in the discussion topics. Open hostility is different from extreme disagreement; you're past extreme disagreement and are well into open hostility territory. It comes across badly. For what it's worth, I recommend saving your ammunition for specific debates and avoiding interpersonal hostility.
I hope this comes as across as well as I intend it. I've read many comments of yours that I agree with, and I think quite highly of Mykcob4 and I'm hoping you guys will cease firing and save it for aggressive debates in the forum.
Truett: Thanks for your reply, my focus has been the acknowledgment that the crimes are taking place and that the media does the pubic a disservice by not furnishing information so people can take precautionary measures. I do not have the answers to all of the problems associated with the causation of racial crimes. That was not the focus of my topic discussion. I am/was merely making the point that in the short term the public's safety is in danger by their intentional withholding of information related to violent crime.
I have witnessed mycob4 be admonished by site management for his crude and rude attacks during debates. Do not be surprised if he eventually is banned from the site. I have no respect for him and at this point I doubt I ever will. If he ever does go to far again and is banned, there will be no tears shed here.
@ImFree
you are just embarrassing yourself.
Another example of projection.
You have been embarrassing yourself for a long time. That is why the site has admonished you in the past for your infantile behavior of name calling and disrespect. Short selective memory you have. Don't want to talk about that do you? Crickets LOL! Remember?!
