The Oldiesfreak Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts III

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

As always, these threads are not okay. What made you think that they were?

Is giving Amnesty to illegal immigrants a slap in the face to Legal immigrants who went through all legal channels to become a honest citizen.

I find it disgusting that politicians is using Amnesty as a way to gain votes.

Personally, I think anyone that enters this nation illegally should be viewed in high suspicion like if they're a terrorist and punished to the full extent of the Law.

Emphasis mine.

1939: Outofthebox: "You guys, stop trolling.  Walt Disney isn't an anti-semite just because he attends the German American Bund's meetings.  It's a harmless organization and I'll have you know that he's a great conservationist!"

Oldies put one of my posts in the deluge, that counts as two posts in the good post gallery, right guys?

At LEAST two.

Our new Keith Olbermann. Switching from the invigorating world of politics (though Olbermann was technically fired) to focus on batting averages, touchdowns, the draft, endzones and all that other crap that nobody cares about. It's terrible. He would rather jump the bandwagon than write about what actually is important.

I'm just reading through some of these recent political articles of his and not only are there fewer of them, but he just doesn't seem that interested in writing about any of it since he's mainly just elaborating on a bunch of polls and data and not even going in depth. We need more political articles AND more length and structure to them!

Christ.

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.

And I know people whose lives were nearly destroyed by US imperialist ventures, so...

Given that this is actually true as I explained later in the thread I fail to see how this is absurd.

Snowstalker, you've openly stated in the IRC that you do not actually believe the drivel you put out here, so why do you keep at it?

Not really. I'm certainly prone to excessive hyperbole but I'm fully serious here.

True Leftists are nothing but bands of thugs and killers. They're proving that now with parroting the propaganda of fellow thug and killer Putin.

It's a bit hyperbolic (but that's BRTD for you) but it's certainly true that the Trotley Crue have been happily eating up fascist propaganda on the basis of it being NOT WE$TERN MEDIA!!!! or whatever.

No the statement is still incorrect. Now if you had said "US military action" it might be correct, but would still not provide any type of non-fallacious rebuttal to Gustaf's point.

[Oakvale]

Were? 2/3 of those are still here, and I'm not that bad of a poster. I'm certainly a better poster than WalterMitty, for example of a Atlas long-timer.

"I'm also opposed to taking rights from others in order to benefit other individuals" - Is this not the foundation of modern society?

To some extent, it is among the foundation stones of every society that has ever existed. I mean, some of us right-wingers, myself included, talk a big game about "left-wing social engineering'. We're correct, in the sense that the left does like to engage in social engineering (through the tax system, through education etc.). But, and this is a big but, so do we (or at least a few of us). I mean, take a few of my views, such as on keeping most drugs criminalised, supporting restrictions on Sunday shopping and censoring obscene publications. All of those count as some form of social engineering. The truth is, everybody supports it to some extent.

That sounds pretty socialist to me

If Grimes speaks out against gay marriage, the national party should completely pull the plug on all of her funding. Drop her from the ballot if possible.

Would we run a racist if it meant we might win? Of course not. Anti-gay bigots shouldn't be treated any differently.

Fred Phelps is obviously the least bad of all three.

Fred Phelps is obviously the least bad of all three.

Not absurd, given that Phelps, awful as he was, caused little to no real damage especially when compared to the other two choices.

Tim Scott is an Uncle Tom, so I don't see the problem here.

And Thaddeus Stevens wasn't a True Leftist. He belonged to the more progressive (at the time) party. He was more like a 19th century Alan Grayson
