I deleted Facebook from my phone because of all the irritating "friend" suggestions of people that I don't know from all over the world. My phone reinstalled it.

Android or Apple? On Android, there are third party apps that could semi-permanently disable unwanted apps so they can't receive updates or run in the background.

I’ve tried minds a little and am still trying to figure out how to use the website. My username on minds is harleyman61. I’ve never been much of a Facebook or twitter user.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 7, 2019:

All good, and I subscribed to your channel on Minds. I don't know, with the way things are going on here, good thing we have a backup.

I recently joined this website.

SpikeTalon comments on Jan 5, 2019:

I've been browsing through some of your posts, and all I can say is glad you are here. Hope you find some comfort in the company of like minds.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 7, 2019:

@Pbpierson2 Although I had just done a post in the conservative group on this, if you are interested Minds.com is a good site with far less censorship than most other social medias. Minds has become a haven for conservatives. Some of us on here have Minds for a backup due to some of our fellow conservatives who had their accounts on here deleted for reasons unknown. This isn't the most friendly site for right leaning views, for sure.

I'd like see more folks boycott Farcebook and Google- [minds.com]

Pbpierson2 comments on Jan 7, 2019:

Looks and sounds promising.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 7, 2019:

I've been on Minds now since October 2017, and so far so good. Considerably less censorship on Minds compared to this site...

Has anyone here looked at Gab? I tried it but it seems incredibly limited. I must admit I didn't put much effort into it, but I don't think I understand Gab.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 7, 2019:

I had looked into Gab a few months ago, but the UI wasn't exactly intuitive. I've grown rather fond of Minds, that platform has significantly less censorship than most other social media platforms.

Alot of conceivable catastrophes out there. As for the cryptos, hardly bogus for me as over the three or so years I've been investing in Btc I've made over $1,400.00 in profit, my only investment in such was dedicating some time to the endeavor.

@MikeFlora You like my new avatar? Ever hear of a video game series called Deus Ex? If you look at my profile one of the photos I uploaded is the symbol for the original Deus Ex game. My current avatar is from the game Deus Ex Human Revolution, the symbol for the activist group NSF (New Sons of Freedom). Human Revolution was actually a prequel game, and the NSF would change their name to the Northwest Seccessionist Forces before settling on the name National Seccessionist Forces by the time of the original game.

MikeFlora comments on Jan 6, 2019:

There is sadly, no real way to stop mass murder. If I take all of your guns, you'll just find something else. Keeping guns from lunatics, is a task of epic proportions. A solution that doesn't entail more guns, is going to be just as difficult. This is the first I have heard of Blockchain, and...

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 6, 2019:

I agree with you on the first part, if guns are removed from the equation people will find other ways of killing. Some problems in life have no easy solutions, but perhaps a solution could be realized that would be doable for both sides, time will tell. The Blockchain is some interesting technology with great potential, and being that I'm a cryptocurrency investor I'm already familiar with such tech. One would think such barbaric actions would only take place in some third world country, but such violence could occur anywhere at anytime.

@kgoodyear Namecalling doesn't occur often in this group, and when it does it's usually directed at conservatives from progressive liberal lurkers who join this group just to cause trouble. It's unclear to me why she decided to leave the conservative groups suddenly, but a few days ago there was some arguing over her banning someone from this group from a group she hosted, and what was mentioned in her profile had got some wondering.

Libtard -- Definition

SpikeTalon comments on Jan 3, 2019:

Touche Mr Tiger. Deplorable- definition: A word used by Democrats to describe hard working Americans who believe in self responsibility, checks on government power, and individual liberties;)

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 5, 2019:

@snytiger6 Not all constitutional patriots violate the rights of others, and when Hillary Clinton made that comment she didn't leave room for exceptions. When he was in office, Obama overreached his power too, sounds like politics as usual there, pick a side any side they're both corrupt... I would be such an exception by the way. I come from a long line of Democrats, and sadly there are some bigots in my family, being a liberal Democrat doesn't shield one from forming biased opinions. On the flip side there, for as conservative as I can be at times, for as long as I can remember I've always been pro reproductive rights and pro gay rights. I think you are referring to the religious zealots there when you said about having a lack of respect for others, and as I've said before secular conservatives/libertarians are different than the religious conservatives are.

Have a Happy New Year fellow conservatives, cheers.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 4, 2019:

@Robecology I would like to think that both care about our Constitutional rights, but the progressives on the left make me think twice about that though. The Constitution may be unclear to those who have not studied history, and I don't automatically assume a majority of Americans support what the Constitution says. The door could swing both ways on that, and I judge based on actions and not just words uttered. I get your point though. Truth be told, I'm not a far-right conservative, my overall views align best with Libertarian views. Both extremes can be too much after awhile.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 2, 2019:

When progressive gun controllers talk about amending the Second Amendment, I'm inclined to believe that they don't really care about our Constitutional rights. I know the definition of the word progressive, and most modern day progressives have horribly skewed the meaning of that term, which is why I don't agree with their views. I'd like to see more genuine progress myself, but I don't have to call myself a progressive though, the term conservative is more than adequate. Agreed on the racism part, socialism is not worthy of my respect, and just because I want the wall built doesn't mean I fear immigrants. I take issue with those who seek to break our laws, which illegal immigrants do, I've no qualms with those who come to our country with good intentions. Lastly, we have no shortage of "ists" "isms" and "ives" in this world, and sometimes I wonder if we aren't furthering the divide when we use such descriptive words?

Well, this site is a joke- [acslaw.

IamNobody comments on Jan 2, 2019:

Mooolah comments on Jan 2, 2019:

A living document must change with the advance of the species as we gain knowledge, evolve our tolerance, embrace diversity.The ERA lost ...

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 2, 2019:

I've long maintained that there is not much difference between a classic liberal and a secular conservative, save maybe how they go about accomplishing things in life. Both the political left and right have long been overrun with radical factions, namely religious zealots and politically correct progressives. It is for this reason that I often classify progressives as a different category altogether, and for the most part I don't take issue with those who identify as a classic liberal. The Constitution affirmed the rights that of which we already have and should not be tampered with just to accomodate the politically correct crowd. No truly free person should never be forced to accept diversity either. I'm already well aware that no system is perfect, and tyranny is occuring on both sides. I also don't seek one-hundred percent perfection either, but there certainly is more that could be done though. Individualism has my loyalty, as it is not my duty to fulfill the lives of others, that is the individual's duty. Human beings as just about every other species that dwells on this crazy rock we call Earth are wired from birth to pursue self preservation, but of course humans in their "civic" state of mind choose to believe otherwise (at least some humans do anyway, not all though). Whether one realizes or chooses to acknowledge such, collectivism removes individuality given enough time, and there is a very specific reason why I had long abandoned the religious collectivism, and of course also the progressive collectivism as well.

SpikeTalon replies on Jan 1, 2019:

@Arouet You missed the point for why groups exist on here in the first place, and you weren't even on this site when the serious drama and hate talk was taking place. Keep in mind some of us here don't have the sufficient time to debate constantly, and no one should have to put up harassment of any kind. Banning/blocking works fine for me, I have a limited amount of monthly data as it is, knowing such why would I waste my data on those who hurl insults and refuse to chat in a civil structured manner? I save data when I block folks like that as I won't have to see their garbage in the first place. You may think that by banning CB that would mean a failure, fair enough and you're entitled to your opinion, I say what's fair is fair and obviously she is far from being innocent...

@Kojaksmom Not sure if Mike Flora had chatted with you recently or not, so thought I'd run this by you. I invited Mike to join me on a social network site/app called Minds.com, and it's similar to this site (Minds has posting, private messaging, groups etc). Things weren't going to well for him on Facebook, and I think he is planning on starting a group on Minds similar to the one he was involved with on FB. He might also invite some others he had met on here to Minds as well, but thought I'd give you a heads up in case you're interested. Later.

I've read several reports indicating this guy has been involved in some gofundme scams in the past.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 22, 2018:

Hhmm... what sources were the reports from? That guy is a veteran, not that veterans can't be crooked like anyone else, but he appears to be a relatively trustworthy guy. I could be wrong though...

That page hogged a lot of resources on my computer. I hope you won't post stuff from them again. Still I'm glad to see she's being held accountable.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 22, 2018:

Sorry to hear that, and American Lookout is one of the main sources I share from usually as they have some good articles. I too am glad she is being held accountable for her actions.

I'd vote for him for POTUS regardless of any party affiliation:

I support Trump on pulling US troops from Syria and probably Afghanistan. I also support him on pulling out of the Iran deal. So you and I will have to disagree on this one.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 22, 2018:

I agree with you on that Trajan, I support the President's decision on that much.

Indeed.

One of many good reasons to re-establish universal conscription:

sfvpool comments on Dec 21, 2018:

Universal Conscription is a violation of our rights — the right to life. It is also forced work. I’m for a volunteer military. It also is a check on government — helps to keep them from entering an unjust war... With a just war, which would be a war in self defense, we would have enough ...

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 21, 2018:

@sfvpool You're right about that.

SpikeTalon comments on Dec 19, 2018:

Eh, leave that Obama pinata on the floor where it rightfully belongs and let the dogs have a go at it. I personally find being a conservative is quite gratifying.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 21, 2018:

@Countrywoman I could say the same of Trump, and I'm sure you wouldn't agree. Like many Americans at the time, while I didn't vote for him I was still hopeful Obama would bring about positive change... he didn't. During his years in office I only parted ways with my money over something that was unconstitutional, that however has gotten better for me since we have a Republican President. So yeah, that "change" ended up being a rotten trick on alot of Americans.

Loopholes in laws when it comes to immigration... [thefederalist.com]

TheGreatShadow comments on Dec 21, 2018:

What about loopholes in taxes?????

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 21, 2018:

That's another story...

So much for "SERVE AND PROTECT" I guess.

SpikeTalon comments on Dec 19, 2018:

It never ceases to amaze me how many of my fellow Americans are not aware of the fact that those in law enforcement have no legal obligation to protect citizens, their duty is to uphold laws in place and apprehend those who break said laws. It is for this same reason that such a thing as private ...

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 20, 2018:

@Condor5 That was my point, not enough people in our country question things, and that would apply to both political sides there. Just because someone makes a statement (in this case the popular slogan police use), does not automatically make it a true or genuine statement. The slogan "to serve and protect" is most likely strictly to gain support from the public and give the illusion that the police jobs are necessary for society to function properly and or safely. I find the word "serve" to be at least somewhat proper for the police (some of them anyway)... they serve all right, serve punishment to those who break the laws and in some cases ruin the lives of citizens who are wrongly accused of a criminal offense. How about the word "protect"? They protect all right... protect their own interests/job even if it means ruining the lives of others who may be innocent (think of all the recent police involved shootings in which unarmed citizens were executed). You follow me there Mr Condor? It depends on the context, the meanings of words may vary from individual to individual, but as I mentioned before based on my observations through the years I've noticed most people do not question these things enough and take what others say at face value. How about that officer who stood by when the Parkland shooting was being carried out? There is a word for a guy like that who obviously did not do his job like he was supposed to, society rightfully calls someone like that a coward. It concerns me when I see fellow citizens become too reliant on the police, as all human beings are prone to error and could fail in their job duties, and afterall there are people getting fired from their jobs every day across the country. Hope that answered your question, the meanings of words may differ from person to person, and I explained what I think that popular police slogan actually means.

I tried to warn 'yall it is Trump who will come for our guns, not Obama. And so it is.

Mooolah comments on Dec 20, 2018:

Making decisions with "feelings" & not logic is most definately a fools errand. Bump stocks ofcourse are not guns. Either is a trigger. But it is an attachment, a prelude. Oh never mind . It is like talking to god.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 20, 2018:

Okay... I'll never mind then, all good.

@Countrywoman Well, at least you're honest;)

While I personally do not care for bump stocks, I vehemently disagree with this ban-[ammoland.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 20, 2018:

There are alot of things in life people do not need but have them anyway, and just because some politicians have now made them illegal does not automatically mean they are right for doing so. I don't own any bump stocks, but I do own a switchblade though... Oh yes, my avatar... that's for the holidays, Dasher the reindeer.

I've mentioned this yesterday Spike. As you mentioned they are clumsy to use. What about the left that want to fight it?

I know you brought that up recently, and now I'm weighing in on it. Still doesn't remove the fact that criminals will not pay any regard to that ban.
