The Simple Truths Silver Mine

Except that there's no reason to believe that Obamacare is intended as any kind of stepping stone. If it was, it would have been designed quite differently.

Say what you will about Sam Spade as a poster but he was the best moderator in this forum's history.

There's no need to balance the budget.

Human dignity is cheap if you can exclude people at will.

IT'S MAH RAHT TO EAT POISON!  NO GUBMIT CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE!!!1

Seriously, there are hundreds of unnatrual chemicals that are illegal for companies to put into food.  This is just another one to go on that long list.  Anyone angry about the ban is just faux-raging for attention or so so blindly hateful of Obama that they've lost all rational thinking ability.

Rob Ford isn't 'outspoken', he's an offensive trainwreck who should not be holding office in any city.

[Mechaman]

People who hate Chicago should be forced to live in St. Louis.

The trolling here has gone on long enough.  Memphis isn't doomed.  He's on no list (he couldn't be, as such a list is nonexistent); he hasn't been recently infracted in any way even remotely related to the Update; he's not on mod review; he's not muted; and he's certainly not banned or even being talked about on the mod board.

Couldn't this have been stated WITHOUT needlessly and inflammatorily locking the thread?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

That'd be a tragedy.

Unlike Gustaf, I say this without sarcasm.

When your screen name is "barfbag," it tells people everything they need to know about your character.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Yes, this is why I am so offended at the moderators who try to paint us as some monsters who wish to see Bushie fail. We have done nothing but encourage him to be healthier, encourage him to find love, get an education, stop taking naps all afternoon, stop stealing from his parents and to beware of Allison's gambling problem.

We stood by him and begging him not to throw away job after job. How are we bad? We invested our time in and care for this man and would love nothing more than to see him happy and successfully out of his parents trailer.

I fully expect my post to be deleted for "maliciously misleading," because my words will never be deemed truthful by our overlords, but I sincerely mean every word I just typed, and I think the rest of us would agree as well.

[Antonio the Sixth]

In a sense, Barfbag is/was worse for the forum's discussion than some dude with outrageous views. He spammed up Political Debate with threads that were just lists of positions with no arguments, and he had a habit of killing other people's threads.

Some dude who posts "KILL TEH JOOS" gets ignored quickly. Barfbag is like Pawn Stars on the History channel. He chases out the good content with his spam.

I have no idea how Chicago-style pizza tastes, but it definitely is NOT pizza. As an Italian, I am the only one so far who can judge on this subject.

So true though he should have included those of us that have been to The Beautiful Place as credible judges, too.

You've visited Chicago?  Who knew?  It is a beautiful place.

But yes, I've been to Chicago, too. Stopped there for a few hours on the way back from the Iowa Caucuses in 2008.

Ignore the haters, if you want to be a better poster, be a better poster.

Kind of fits here

The whole concept of American suburbia was built on the paranoia of white people.

[Oakvale]

it's a great fallacy to presume that he is addicted to cocaine.  if you happened upon somebody carrying a six-pack of beer you would not presume that they are addicted to alcohol.

[traininthedistance]

Reid's one of the few Democrats with balls. It's the cowardly dinosaurs that make up the rest of the caucus that have been holding him back.

[Lief 🗽]

I don't know anything more convincing that a moderator "confirming" what another moderator says!

[Antonio the Sixth]

"Mania" is a good word to describe right-wing reaction to Obamacare, yes.

Kennedy was not a good president. Truman was. Not that difficult.
