I’m not sure what get me a-blocking quicker: personal attacks, or stuffing word into a strawman’s mouth.
But both? Together?? And trying to do it in Chinese???

Twitter is calling the Kent State Gun Girl a "journalist."

Remarkable that you insist on “facts only,” but then resort to hyperbole in the opposite direction.

Actually, Aragorn, the Age of Men never existed. The "this is un-Gondorian" posts in response to orc raids terrorizing villagers... I beg you to look in a tome (I would say a Palantír but let's start small) & read up on the Drowning of Númenor, Isildur's Curse, the corruption of the Easterlings...

Ancient Chinese Fun Fact:
An Lushan, the infamous 8th c. Tang general-turned-usurper, was not Chinese. Rather, he was Sogdian or Turkic. That's not really the interesting bit...
The interesting bit is that is given name, "Lushan" comes from Roχšan... which as it migrated west became "Roxanne."

I moved on her like a bitch. I couldn't get there and she was married… You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. & when you're a star they let you do it… Grab em by the Greenland. You can do anything…
