Why the fuck is an 84 yo blogging and why in the fuck is anyone listening to him creedthoughtsgov.com? How does he even depress the power button?
I mean, an elderly granny gained a huge online following playing Skyrim. There are also various channels of old people talking about their youth, opinions on today through the lens of their experi nce, etc. with big followings. This guy was also involved in politics, apparently
Which is why its a crazy argument that he's entitled to, much less deserves anonymity. When in Rome, you do as Romans do.
Edit: also, had he succeeded, how much do you wanna bet he would be all over the news and internet bragging about how if Afghanistan is good enough for him, its good enough for...refugees/immigrants? He would definitely be on FoxNews and friends
Edit: doesn't seem very fair that if he wins he wins and if he loses he wins by getting to hide his losses he would have been prepared to trumpet had the Taliban been more gentile with him
He wishes he'd gone to Rome
Nah, Romans were gay
—Him, definitely
Edit: I just wish I had an old-timey slur to make it more realistic
Well they probably were gay. A lot of them were very much into that kind of thing and no one back then seemed to mind.
This is such an understated reply, very humorous :)
Edit: also, an orifice is an orifice
