I've always been curious what the other side thinks.... here's some candid remarks by Russian president Putin on America's John McCain:
What Putin thinks of John McCain
- Thread starter normisanas
- Start date
I only made it to 1:05. I am angered.
I am not going to claim to be a historian but from what I know, John McCain is a WAR HERO. He spent FOUR years in a POW interment camp. Once the Vietnamese found out who he was in America, they decided to release him. But McCain said NO and stated "the prisoners captured before me should go first", as he did not want to receive any privileges because of his name or who is family was. If I am not mistaken, it was after spending FOUR years as a POW that his hair turned white.
He has had white hair since he returned from the war, in his late 20s.

ahhh... so that explains things. like why he wants to bomb the shit out of syria because of secret reports that gas was used to kill 1500 people. go in and kill 1.5 million - sort of like the old nazi 10 for 1 policy - except in this case it's ALL innocent citizens!
i think war monger, rather than war hero would be more like it

I can always count on you, VCC. Thanks for the update.
I hate to go off topic but I am sure he would have been prez if he wasn't up against Obama. (Or maybe it was his lousy running mate.)
edit: after reading that I have to wonder if he owns a company that is related to the defense business.
Well yeah, the poor guy suffered. It must've been really really awful to be a POW under the cruel Japanese!!!
He was a victim, 100%. But now he's a war mongering dickhead, and believe me, victims can be victimizers at the same time:
So don't let him get away with being a Vet force him to receive respect from you for a position that deserves absolutely no respect.
what i meant was, that explains why he's a bit dotty when it comes to uncle sam going to war...
anybody that spent 4 years living in a hole in the ground in the jungle would come home QUITE dotty... and stay that way for the rest of their days!
i'll give respect where respect is due - he is a survivor, and to have done so and still be somewhat lucid is a miracle that DOES deserve respect
however, he's a soldier - and a damaged one at that - who sees 'enemies' of the fatherland as just so many cabbageheads to be exterminated by the most effective means possible. trouble is, he lacks the humanity to properly define the term 'enemy'. sadly, the vietcong took his humanity away. sadly, because except for that, somebody with his strength could make a good leader
Make that the North Vietnamese.
McCain is a hero, no doubt. However, since his defeat by Obama his policies and positions have been erratic, and one gets the impression some of the positions he takes and things he says are purely out of spite against Obama. I don't think he can be relied upon for sound judgement any more.
Definition of DOTTY
1a : mentally unbalanced : crazy
b : amiably eccentric <a dotty old relative>
2: being obsessed or infatuated <dotty fans>
3: amusingly absurd : ridiculous <dotty traditions>
Don't laugh I had to look it up!!!
I guess PTSD affects everyone differently.
.......................I've always been curious what the other side thinks.... here's some candid remarks by Russian president Putin on America's John McCain:
no, I wouldn't bait anyone on something like that, it's just wrong morally. And I was also factually wrong to say what I did, I was thinking of WW2 Pacific front as I usually do when I think POW because of the lasting impression.
I have no idea what you are talking about when you accuse me of leaving up a link about some underaged escort, for one, if I did leave it up there so what? It will not go anywhere if the cops do their job and take down where it was linking to. Anyways I don`t think I posted any link to that ad and you didn`t even follow my argument on the matter. You seem to think that if it was a non-white escort I would have done differently. You`ve got weird baseless ideas. She was victimizing herself, and my position is that if you`re old enough to know better, than whatever you do to yourself is up to you and the law will take care of you if you do something illegal. That`s totally different from being victimized by others based on colour. I also counselled others from contacting her no matter what for their own legal protection. I never encouraged anyone to do anything else.https://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...of-underage-escort-how-is-this-best-addressed
I left the link in as it has now been removed from ERS and any attention brought to it is now irrelevant.
Unlike at that time, when you refused to remove it.
Strike 3 buddy
Now you claim to have not done something as it would be “morally wrong”?
Dude, you couldn’t even be bothered to remove a link to what could potentially be a girl as young as 16 selling herself without really having the maturity to understand the decision she’s made.
I know that your conscious decision to leave it up had nothing to do with time as you spent a lot of time debating the legality of communicating with a minor whilst I’m sure she was targeted by predators because she looked like a minor.
During that time, I hope no one contacted her and was able to take advantage of her, like a pimp.
Based on your posts in others threads, I wonder if you would have removed the link (protected her) had she been Black or Brown or Yellow, and not a part of the Evil Privileged White race?
You seem quite capable of moral outrage, too bad it only benefits certain groups and not others.
Much like the Canadian version of equality.
I had hope for you norm, but you are pretty much just another version of Miss*Bijou, with the addition of logic, but the same indifference to the trials of any and all that do not agree with your agenda. Fuck ‘em all eh!
I’m feeling quite worn out so please refer to my last post to Miss*Bijou located below for more reasons of why you are also now on ignore.

Also please feel free to attack the backside of me with the examples I have already provided in addition to your own.
Good luck. :wave:
You must be so angry that you can`t read and understand what I said on the matter, because all you`re doing is pulling things out of context and making some ridiculous claim just to be right about something. Whatever it is you`re talking about that you think you need to demonstrate to everyone, it is to me about nothing and might as well be null and void because it is utterly nonsensical.... not to mention the fact that you`re now trolling me into completely different threads (THIS ONE IS ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN). Man, you must be livid. Calm down and get a hold of yourself.
