The Seriously? Theatre of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts V

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

If this is what you said, that is true.  You have a way with words however and no doubt it came out sideways and smelling like steaming broccoli.  

But this one is a 'lynchpin' as it were.  There is no excuse making this time.  Time for some police union busting and serious serious budget cuts to law enforcement.  Like 50% off the top and the officers have tO borrow the bullets at a value of $50,000 apiece.  A little less than the median income.  The officer who uses a bullet justifiably sees a $49,000 reduction but still pays $1000.  The police dept still pays $50,000 for a new bullet.  Unjustifiably (even accidental) means $50,000 is deducted from his pay for the year.  This may put newer cops in absolute negative territory.  But the police dept then must borrow a new bullet for $50,000 as well in addition to the $50,000 the cop is paying.

Cop cars would be governed at 5mph over the speed limit.  If they drive faster, the car engine dies and cannot be turned back on for a week.  Tow truck companies would be instructed to move the car out of traffic and secure it in place.  $50,000 gets the car moved out of the elements.  The value of car repairs will be paid for by the dept and an amount 7 times the cost of repair deducted from the following year's budget.  Armed police would not be allowed within 25 feet of a courthouse.

Any police officer would be required to register in his community for life and would have to register all firearms with the court at an annual cost of $50,000/gun.  These being personal weapons, of course.  Weapon owning cops could not live within 2000 feet of any community housing minorities or vulnerable people.  This might make a cop compound necessary.  We will surveil the compound with utmost care and report any off key snoring to the media.

 Fire trucks and emt cars would have no such limit and could carry tazers.

Considering the two who posted this here, I think this is some of my best work yet.  Moderate tweedledee and moderate tweedledum...
I make bad posts on purpose and you were dumb enough not to get it because you have poop in your eyes.  No wonder you're so moderate...that smell must be overwhelming.

The fact that calling me a moderate (loooooooool), saying I have poop in my eyes, and then trying to pretend you were joking is the best response you could come up with when you were called out on making one of the worst posts of the year really speaks for itself.

Now I think there are a couple of people here who are self described socialists, so for those people I'd like to see if we can petition Dave to give us more avatars. Seems like a 1st Amendment problem and I hate having these rights taken away.

In short: You can't criticize AAD groupthink/Kool Kidz Klub when you yourselves are breeding your own "exclusivity" here by dismissing everything from AAD in a kneejerk fashion.

I've never thought that there should be some sort of inherent divide between the two forums seeing as I like both but this is just getting ridiculous.

Nothing will take The Donald down.

If Ben Carson's surge is to be believed, then I think gravity is already doing so.

The vast majority of Carson's support can be attributed to the Bradley effect.

There is no longer any such thing

Rep. Anthony Brown or Martin O'Malley are the only ones who could defeat him. Brown because he's experienced at this now and O'Malley for campaigning skill and experience.

On another note, of course white people aren't going to be offended by Columbus Day, why would you be? That's hardly relevant to the politics of Columbus Day.

If President Obama said "kill whitey", I wouldn't be offended but that could hardly be used to justify defending Obama yelling "kill whitey" in his role as POTUS...

To be honest, I want Vitter to win. I want Vitter to win to add to the drama and make things interesting. I want to see the fallout, the D reaction, and the polling industry reaction, etc. I don't think that will happen though, and I expect a Governor Edwards by next year.

The Trump movement is a joke that will be rightfully squashed this year anyways when he is utterly and humility defeated

Saving this quote for when TRUMP puts you on a boat back to the Middle East.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

yeah i don't see how this is remotely funny. good luck antonio

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

As a millennial and a progressive, I will be voting Trump in the GE if Hillary is nominated. Frankly, right-wing progressivism is more welcome to me than corporatist stagnation. And there is the very real chance Trump just played all the Republican voters and is actually more liberal than Hillary. I'll take a fascist moderate over center-right Hillary.

I honestly think this may be one of the worst posts in Atlas Forum history.

Sounds like a Snowstalker sock.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

YES!

I hope Maine won't eliminate it, though.

Basically this.  And, get Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia all on board.  Why not California, New York, and Illinois as well?

Write-in: No for feminist reasons *and* b/c it'll have terrible psychological effects on any children produced by such a relationship.

Seriously?!? That's your argument?!? After all the attempts to dismiss "psychological effects on children" as an argument against gay, interracial, multi-cultural, transgender relationships through the years and you pull that card now just because you dislike some groups of people that practice it?

Give me a freaking break!

Comparing Equality, to marrying multiple people, which has had disastrous impacts in the world, particularly with the oppression of women, and them being kept as a lower level, as well as children not being adequately taken care after.

Comparing Equality, to marrying multiple people, which has had disastrous impacts in the world, particularly with the oppression of women, and them being kept as a lower level, as well as children not being adequately taken care after.

So? Interracial marriages and relations also have had disastrous impacts on the world depending on the context (I am in this case referring to explorers who took women with them, and no, not just Westerners did this). Homosexual relations also kept women down, once again depending on the context (In this case Ancient Greece).

But, in those contexts, those societies were not prepared to deal with treating anyone besides the ruling class with respect.  And in places where women still face the absolute worst,  there are far greater issues to address.

But here and now in the Western world, with all the human rights laws, the diversity, and many relationship types that are forced  to be worked with, such marriages could be legalized and well regulated to work so as to work around the shortfalls (Ex: Create a new limit to avoid incest, tighten consent laws, allow polyandry and polygyny both, etc.).

Also it should be noted that women in 19th century Utah fared better than the average 19th century American woman (especially in the case of The South), and it was because, not in spite of polygamy that this was the case.

So yeah, your argument is literally bunk.

Really all of L.D. Smith's posts in this thread could go here, tbh.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Yeah that's pretty horrible. From one Pokemon Go fan to others out there, have some damn self control.

Yeah. It even kinda bugs me when people go to cemeteries to play it.

The game is designed so you have to go to a gravestone in order to get certain things you need in order to play.

Why not go to a cemetery? We played in a cemetery every Thanksgiving when we were kids, next door to where we had Thanksgiving dinner.

Why not go to a Holocaust Memorial either?

As long as it's not distracting others, let it happen.

You guys know that Brock Adams retired after being accused of rape and that eight or nine women accused him of drugging and then molesting them, right?

To be fair, it's a tough choice between the rapist and the warmonger.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Not sure why that belongs here, considering the war that Jackson so adamantly supported resulted in countless rapes and deaths overseas, but whatever.

Brock Adams drugged and raped multiple women, but whatever.
