Ooh... Look at my ironic tone, look at my irony, my irony... now you have to take me seriously when I say "Bush is actually Satan". I appeal to youngs, see.

September 11 was a tragic day for the world, and made the world stop and think and care for America and the world loved America just for that day.
 
#3
But in reality the Kamikaze pilots were just misunderstood, they just wanted to return mother, apple pie and good old American Values. Except, umm, not America.

History shows that in fact X killed freedom... why do you hate freedom?

That's the Natural way... like Earthquakes or HIV.

Discuss.

(Well no-one knows what this particular forum is for other than FF-HP polls so I'm going to use to make obtuse political points that only me, Al, Lewis and a few others will get and Deadman will get annoyed at).

Note: This thread was inspired by the presidential poll thread ("FDR best president EVAR, Obama 15th" that one... Bothered to link to it? ...
No. Go away.)  especially the posts by Mint and Libertas.

     I have to go for option five. The bizarre association that many people have of "natural=good" & "artificial=bad" annoys me to the point of being humoured by the mere prospect of it.

Just like Hitler lines.  The constant fascist and communist name calling is rarely grounded in any reality and often contradicts itself.

My favorite has always been that the democrats are the party of the little people or common man when they're tied to nothing but big labor and top lenders. Yet the Republican Party is the party of greed. I just tell them that 1936 is calling and the Democrats want their talking points back.

It does not shock me that you are too stupid to understand what a union is.

The Sheeple line and its cousin, "You're merely reflecting a bourgeois sensibility that's out of touch with the suffering of the proletariat."

Yes, people have told me that, apparently without irony.

Option 1 is especially annoying, both on and off forum. Although it seems to have reached epidemic levels here recently.

Option 7. Living in France, I have to live between an unbelievable amount of "politically uncorrect" bullsh*t, and I'm really fed up with that. Though, options 5 and 8 were also very tempting.

Now, I did say Winston was anti-freedom when he said all gun owners should be lined up and shot, but again, he's still anti-freedom on that count no matter what I am myself (and no, callimg him anti-freedom != calling myself pro-freedom).
