The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

Most foreigners love seeing America struggle, so naturally they love Obama and want the next four years to be like the past four years.

I'm going to start interacting with him as if he were the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Are there a lot of trolls on this forum?

Yes, and Politico is one of our most notorious ones. The 2012 board is pretty much open season for even good posters to be trolls, though. Welcome to the forum!

Be prepared to say goodbye to RhodieIII, Nathan.

I knew it was him, and I considered saying something, but decided against it. I guess I was right

No, Tricky Dick or whatever his name was.

Are there a lot of trolls on this forum?

Yes, and an increasing number of them are all you.

Is there a way we could let all the trolls in but confine their posting privilege to a specific area, one that's already barren and devoid of intelligent life where their presence wouldn't be notable, like, say, the 2012 board? A sort of quarantine zone?

In my defense, I had a lot going on in the 3-4 hour this afternoon.

What's absurd about this is not the post itself, but that the thread it is in went so far off topic from what it was about originally to yield this post:

I've spent time in Quebec City/the St Lawrence Estuary and in parts of the Maritimes, and while I personally thought that the former was nicer to visit I'd probably recommend sounding the latter for an Anglophone.

Hey, Nathan, why don't we both be trolls for a week, and show the kids how to do it properly, meaning you rile up the opposition, but make it hard for the mods to hand out death points? The troll skill level around here these days is really pathetically low. It's an embarrassment!

You haven't already been doing that for the last few months?

Way ahead of you. I'm ashamed to be associated with some of these incompetents.

In terms of "rile up the opposition, but make it hard for the mods to hand out death points," you're all novices compared to Politico.  He is truly a master of the craft.

Politicization of employment - and patronage - are essential to a good economy.

I see so far that many of our pro-abortion members openly discuss and even cheer on this hypothetical action, which makes them more evil than I even expected.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I hate these shows. They try and make drug users and drug dealers as the protagonists, when infact, they're the antagonists.

A husband dies so a woman starts a drug business? A guy is ill so he starts selling meth?

Ridiculous. Drug users are the enemy. Period. If I had my way, they would vanish. J. Edgar style.

Remember the Vitamin C song, "Graduation (Friends Forever)" from the year 2000? I cannot work up the intrepidity to actually ever listen to the song, as I will begin falling into a depressed stupor. When it hear it playing on the radio, I run away. It takes me back to the portentous days of the year that was the sunset of my childhood.



"The Bush Era is about to begin!"

Now, those days make me think about the portentous decade known as the 2000s, which will be thoroughly and scrupulously covered in another thread. In this decade known as the "Decade of Dubya", I made great new friends including some on this very message board. Those days are gone forever, I should just let them go, but for some reason I still find myself getting misty when I think of the memorable events and discussions I had with these friends. We discussed the issues of the day as well, from Hurricane Katrina to Gay Marriage and the liberal dingbat media onslaught of glorifying marriage as something other than one man and one woman.



Liberal media bias, circa 2006

Today, I find myself again in heated discussions but often told I am in the minority of Americans. This is false, of course. I have also turned down dates with women who share opposing viewpoints due to the political discord in our relationships. at this age I want to be going out with my friends and having "fun" in life before settling down, which is essentially what they would be doing with you.

My dating experiences are sometimes hard to describe but can be in two simple paragraphs.

#1. I have very little in common with people my own age. I have friends. Some are co-workers who I might grab a beer with down the road after work. Others are people with the same interests as me whom I might see for a week once a year or so on a vacation. Other than that if you told me to call someone to try and hang out tonight, I'd come up empty. I don't really have friends but I am not anti-social.



"I have friends."

#2. I have hobbies. I play guitar, I enjoy going fishing, I love to travel. I'll go to dinner, then play a little at a casino, have some drinks, and I love vacationing in Florida, Key West, Vegas, ect. However, most of the time when I am not working, I just enjoy kicking back, watching movies, relaxing. Contrast this with girls my age who party non-stop, seem to have 1,000 friends and a million photos on Facebook and it seems like her life is so big that even if I did get a date with her, I'd be boring by comparison.



But there are alternatives. I must now eat my dinner of pizza. I shall return.

I guess I'm confused as to why the Republican Party would win on the "issues."

If you haven't observed by now that the American electorate is mostly masochistic, self-destructive, and wholly lacking in class consciousness, I'm not sure anyone can help you.

Class consciousness? This is not 1932 anymore.

What are you implying with this statement?
