Bye, I suppose

Hopefully not permanently. But I am definetly taking a leave from it. Let me explain.

I first joined imgflip to use its Meme Generator Capability. Thats back when there was only one stream. So I eventually got into the meme community here and began to meme. Then I got into the Politics part of Imgflip. I dont agree with most of the things that were said there, but I have to admit it was facsinating to see the other side, so to say.

Infact thanks to imgflip my views became a lot more moderated. Still left leaning but not quite as much as it used to.

Now comes the fun part. I immensely enjoyed arguing with other people about Politics. American or otherwise. I loved the disscusion. The debate. It was great. I as a person I am very intrested in politics if you havent figured it out yet.

In my private life I dont know a lot of folks who share similar intrests in politics and so its not often I get to talk about what I like the most. I used to quite enjoy my time here.

I enjoyed the time where I could comment without being called a German Nazi Liberal Hitler Socialist German Goose stepping Hitler protegee. I mean dont get me wrong I can easily shrug off normal insults. But when you go ahead and attack me for being /German/ and call me A Goose stepping Nazi and blame the Death of the Jews on me. And claim that I an all of my people are Nazis... it stings. It really does.

So in that sense Congrats Chosanwan and co. You f**ktards win. You have ruined my experience enough on this site.

I tried talking with them, I tried simply reporting them, I tried going to the Admins, but nothing worked and I had resigned myself to this new reality I found myself in, where anything I say is immediately discounted on account of my Nationality.

So. I give up. I dont feel like taking their shit anymore and moving over to another meme site. For now atleast. I might be back, but I doubt it.

Have a lovely day, ya'll!

I get where you're coming from but don't let that cheap tactic get to you. Just ignore bs like that. You have every right to comment on any issue, hell, I bash Herr Merkel all the time.

Germans have been emotionally blackmailed for something they didn't have a hand in for decades. Reject that tactic.

I know. I stand by my statement :)

I've called Emperor Merkel, King of Europe that as well.

I have certainly disagreed with many of your views, but I couldn't care less if you are German. A noble people whose history experienced some ugly times, but every country has. I wish you happiness.

that little dweeb is a whole lotta fun.

he has zero idea what is going on.
we are talking a lack of self awareness that is on an epic scale.

people like him should never..ever..be taken with even the remotest seriousness.
they are part of the muppet class and should be ridiculed,relentlessly.

sorry to see you go,cuz i just came back (got some free time) and i really enjoyed your thoughtful commentary.

TBH chosanwan ticks me the heck off sometimes

Dadgummit you son of a motherless goat! XD

LOL I considered dadgummit

But have you considered this???? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B_36H1rs1x8

Muppets with Tourettes!

That... Made me snort

garsh darn it

Here's the thing tho, not to sound like I'm harshing on you, but you DO dish it out as well, yes?
Now from your perspective, what some may say may sound harsh, but from their perspective, it's just words to toss at someone. Your reaction may highlight a sensitivity to them, and people will latch on to that, now having a percieved weakness to attack.

Thing is, are they totally initiating this themselves, or are they perhaps doing it in response?

For example, I saw earlier a comment where you took a swipe at Americans. Now you did say it was sarcasm, but it was still a swipe. You also took to referring to whomever as "Russian" or "Russbot."
Not criticizing that, I do it all the time. But in doing so, I can't cry foul when someone responds in kind.

I'm not saying this is all on you, just that we can't give and not expect to get. You can't get offended about what others say about your people then expect others to not get offended by what you say about theirs. Now you're thinking that what you said was not that harsh, yet who's to say they're not thinking the same thing?

Bottom line is that we can't lob something and not expect it to not get lobbed back. And if they do it harder? Well you both ARE trying to outdo each other, so que sera, c'est la vie.

And no matter what is said, they're still just words, given only the strength we allow them to have. It's just a game, no big deal. You are you and you'll be ok...

Yeah, what Syd said.

What people post are just words. They only have as much worth as you allow them to.
Those people don't even exist, they're just blips on the screen. They can only bother you as much as you want them to.

Ever try simply ignoring them if they keep trying only to troll you?

Nazi Germany did what it did. That people here hurl that at you is on them. It shows how weak they are and that no matter what anyone says, that is power you hold over them, for it is in the shadow of a long dead past that they still subjugate themselves to. No need to bow out over their cowardice (40% of Americans have German blood, and no one says shit to their face). Let the crybabies drown themselves in their own tears.

It seems like VagabondSouffle is always acting like a grouchy douchebag for the same reason you left; because everyone hates ChosanWan! The other day, I was just sharing a theory about the MSM with ChosanWan, and he blindly accused me of being a left-wing SJW, while constantly throwing insults at me. I also reported ChosanWan’s comments, and no dice!

Look at you whining to the authorities because your feelings got hurt. Thought you were made of sterner stuff than that.

It’s not because my feelings are hurt; it’s because ChosanWan fails to contribute to any reasonable debates!

Don't be a tattletale. We both have our detractors. But keep questioning things, little bro.

Key word in regards to me is "acting," since I exaggerate my ranting tones because it's funnier that way.

Pay attention to whatever Chowsie says, because literally every single thing he says IS a confessional description of himself. Every. single. thing. It's like projection on crack.

Thanks. Now that I know that you’re acting for comedic effect (which I’m actually quite proud of), I’m gonna follow you. Also, do you mean Chowsie as in ChosanWan?

I mean there usually is an actual point I'm making in there. And most people not getting that my over-the-top meandering verbage is a goof has caused me to become more just plain droll (this was on 2 sites I was on previous to this, the joke not always translating when printed).

But from how I see it, no one is convincing anyone no matter how much hair we pull (theirs and ours), so might as well spice it up for fun. That's part of the deal with G-Man and the clowns, I'm mocking my own delivery as well as some of the clowns on this site.

Thanks, shall do likewise.

Yeah, Chowsie is Chosanwan. He's a delight to trigger, the most easy to do on the site. It gets to were I start feeling guilty because a bunch are doing it to him, but then he keeps replying to me weeks later to get my attention, so it's funtime again.

What I do with him is poke once, let him rant with 4 replies, then poke again, let him rant 4 more...
We used to do this on his memes which would end up him flame warring with everyone, his comments ending up all low rated on his own threads, hahahaha...

hahaha

PS when I said “know more about this stuff than you do” I meant American politics.

I think ChosenWan finally got deleted! I really miss debating with you, OberstGylbert!

Well you are not American. You were sticking your nose where it didn’t belong. You were also a tattletale. Using the mods to try to silence opponents is a nazi-like move. You may not have been rounding people up and taking them to extermination camps, but you were still acting quite nazi-like. A foreigner trying to silence people, who by virtue of actually being Americans, know more about this stuff than you do. The same laws of Germany doesn’t apply to the US. We are a free nation. Good riddance.

Surprisingly, I got into ImgFlip because my English teacher had an assignment where I had to make a Romeo & Juliet meme.

That one stole the original name, adding the period between ColonelGylbert.
The original changed his name to OberstGylbert.

Come back in 16 months, when Trump is dumped, we can celebrate!

Well he won’t be celebrating anything because 1) He has no say-so in US elections l, and 2) Trump is going nowhere.

as you get older (i don't know how old you are), other people's opinions may generally matter less. do what you need to do.

Actually they do matter. They are American voters, which OlberstGylbert is not.

Bye Felicia

That’s HER actual name?!

Okay, thanks!
