Neither burn is all that hot, but I do have a soft spot for zingers against zingers that miss.

In fact, Naso, Sweden was a neutral party in World War II.

In fact, Xahar, said poster is from Oslo.

Bazinga.

"Bazinga"? yuck...

[Keystone Phil]

Hahaha the stupid saying aside, Naso owned Xahar.

This is a very weird sort of burn that only works in context. But basically MasterJedi proposes something stupid, follows up to a response with a fairly irrelevant point, Snowstalker responds with something even MORE stupid and Sanchez follows up with a point that is valid and ends up looking the best of all. It only works if you read the entire part of the thread:

Want to get China on our side? Promise them all of Siberia if they would side with us against Russia if it were to actually come to anything. If it was the US/Europe/China/Japan agianst Russia they would probably be more likely to back down.

This isn't the 18th century; military conquest isn't actually a legitimate diplomatic instrument anymore.

Tell that to Putin.

Which is why Georgia is now a province of the Russian federation.

Guys, please stop talking about my instructor.  It's making me very uncomfortable.  If he ever finds out, I could be in hot water.  I never mentioned his name on here, but you nosy little jerks like to pry into every detail that I do or do not mention and talk about them extensively on here.  It's like you guys have no regard that I may not wish that stuff to be exploited and talked about in such a manner.  This shows the low character that is present on this forum.  Not all of you, of course, but a good number of you are very low and apparently very uncaring.

Bushie, you stole your parents money for porn. So, stop hypocrisy! You're far worse than the updaters, at least, them are funny and aren't an unemployed stealing money for porn and constantly lying.

Very good, krazen. I'm glad you've had a change of heart about veterans running for Congress.

Too bad you were Joe Walsh's biggest defender when he was taking underhanded swipes at Duckworth.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Clinton's in the world, but.....

I for one agree with Naso in that the Clintons are inhuman sociopaths.

If only she was such a shining beacon of morality as Vladimir Putin.

No love for affairs during marriage huh?

Marriage itself is broken, I'll admit.

I think both parties need to focus on helping rebuild the American family. It really does matter.

I've seen so many young people in America who are constantly in trouble, pounding on their walls, buying drugs off the street, having the cops over again and again, and the main reason it goes unabated is because the mother is a single parent who cannot be home 24/7. Do you think that if a father figure was around half of this stuff would go on? No way in hell. The breakup of the family matters. The fact that liberals claim to want to help people and ignore such a drastic and fundamental breakdown of American tradition shows that they only care about pandering to slim minorities for the hope of votes in national elections.

Which is why youth crime has gone down along with the percentage of nuclear families?

Are you advocating the breakup of the American family?

No, but if you're going to argue that increased youth crime is caused by the breakup of the nuclear family, you should at least check if youth crime has increase.

Context helpful but not really necessary:

And, I apologize, you might not be a troll, you might just be stupid.  I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions.

I didn't know China was an orange avatar'd Atlas poster.

I'm surprised it took that long for that comment to be made.

[Oakvale]

I'm surprised it took that long for that comment to be made.

Yeah, I thought it was the obvious response.

[RogueBeaver]

In fairness he's only... actually, how old is he? I have no idea.

[morgieb]

Of course. Banning should be limited to blatant spammers and the worst trolls.

Indeed.  Hence why Opebo will not be returning.

The immoral ones...

Abortion
Euthanasia
Sex before marriage 
Divorce
Polygamy
Pornography
Homosexuality
Gambling
Unwed Birth
Suicide
Cloning animals
Cloning humans

I may be a bit out-of-the-mainstream on this one...

I remember one of your post:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Do you believe you're yourself immoral?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

On an unrelated note, is Mary Catherine Roper the same Roper as in Roper V. Simmons?

Rather than being lazy and asking others to do your searching for you, why don't you go find out yourself? It's not exactly a difficult thing to find out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roper_v._Simmons

That was quite rude and uncalled for...

No, while it was quite rude, it was also quite called for.

Why are almost all of these choices awful? I just found out about this website and I'm starting to regret signing up. Why is Lincoln winning???

You're still in time to leave. It will probably be for the best of all involved.

inb4 true leftist "disarming the proletariat"

The irony being that most gun owning members of the "proletariat" would much prefer a right wing revolution.

Get back to me on that when you actually meet one, would you?

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'm fairly well liked and respected in real life, and some people, for some bizarre reason, seem to regard me as wise (if that's the right word) and ask for advice from me. On the forum, I'm the chap whom most people have a kind of apathetic contempt for, rather like the dog doo-dah you might find, to your disgust, clinging to the sole of your shoe. So yeah, quite a contrast.

From what you've said you're surrounded by like minded people. On here you are not, hence the difference.

Crimea is for all intents and purposes Russian and the 1954 transfer to the Ukrainian SSR was a mistake, though I disapprove of how Russia pursued this annexation.

I wonder how many No voters support Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence. It seems that self-determination only matters when you support the group which wants it.

It's really time for you to show some respect and shut up with your trolling. It was never smart nor funny, but at the point where we are now and people are beginning to die you should really take a step back.

I understand that this is remote for most of you American teenagers but I have friends from the Ukraine crying themselves to sleep with worry for their families. Whiny bitching about irrelevant analogies only serves to make you look dumber.
