Multiple attempts at failed snark her, tho the last is particularly absurd:
Manning deserves the death penalty, but in principle it's important for people who are sitting in prison to have access to the health-care they need (and, yes, sex reassignment surgery is included), so I suppose this is good news on balance? Sort of conflicted.

No it isn't.

1. we're talking about hrt, not srs.
2. i'd really like to see your reasoning for this claim.

If you're going to use initialisms, I think we'd all prefer that you at least capitalize them. Otherwise, it looks like you're trying to say "hurt" and "serious", which of course makes no sense.

i think it's pretty obvious in context Tongue

You're also supposed to capitalize letters at the beginning of a sentence, and end said sentence with a period. I'm not sure how a colon followed by a lower-case "p" is supposed to do the same job here.

this is an internet forum, not a fcking résumé.

no attempt at snark was made; all of my statements were 100% factual Curly

If we're going to maintain any pretense of discussing important matters of public interest, we should at least possess some academic and linguistic integrity. The lack of formality in discourse on this forum is absolutely sickening. Even Bushie has the capacity to use full sentences.

Nuclear power has shown to be a dangerous and unpredictable source of energy--see Chernobyl, 3 Mile Island, etc.

No.

Posted for answering a complex question with a simple yes/no.

There's nothing complex about it, you see, once you look past the hysteria.

Simfan, if you read my post, I would hope you'd realize it was sarcastic. I'm not actually an opponent of nuclear power. It was an attempt to willfully misconstrue the meaning of the term "nuclear Iran" as an Iran that uses nuclear power (as opposed to the common definition of an Iran with nuclear weapons).

The central bankers played both sides and profited from the fighting.

Its called a one-two punch variation of divide and conquer...

Divide by making people scared and envious of one another.  Profit.
Loan them money to build tanks and guns.  Profit.
Allow the fighting to destroy the ability to pay back the loan.
Demand austerity and 'structural adjustment'.
Profit.

How was "Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows" now that you've seen it, Snowguy? You do realize that it was a fictional movie, yes?

He may have seen "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" as well, lets not forget that.

I'm pretty sure (or at least I want to believe) Oakvale was joking.

Sure, and partly trolling, but as I have said before joking does not prevent a post from being bad. A lot of the worst posts on Atlas are intended as jokes.

Your efforts to prevent the lampooning of various points of view will most certainly fail to yield their intended results! Ha!

Is a fifty-year old, unionized, operator/foreman who works a sixty-hour week due to his personal inclination/choice to do so a libertarian?

No more than unicorns are socialist and Big Foot is a fascist.

I don't think Trump pays much attention to consistently wrong hacks like Larry Sabato, Torie. The idea that he has a ceiling of 25-30% is ridiculous and not supported by any polling at all.

That is precisely Sabato's point actually. The polls are polling phantom Trump "voters." All those angry beer bellied white male voters in Bumfuk PA, just down the road from Grumps' place, worried about when the Mexicans will discover their zip code, really can't make time in their busy deer hunting and beer guzzling schedule to vote. I look forward to my schadenfreude when this particular leg of the twin evils goes down in flames. But, hey, have fun in the meantime!

I mean, when I get drunk, I usually insult specific individuals (I think?). This is nasty.

Had a bs incident at work today, this TRUMP supporting lady who comes in quite frequently (she is the chair of my city's Trump office) decked in Trump swag told me to move her from a seat I sat her because she felt the Muslim family I sat next to her was "going to bomb the restaurant" and she felt uncomfortable, so I politely told her "we don't serve bigotry here, there is a wing place down the street you can take it to instead" so she gets up goes to my boss and complains about me and he then tells her to "get the  out of my restaurant"

She starts yelling something about "squinty eyed" people and "terrorist loving liberals" and then my boss tells me she always causes incidents but he doesn't ban her because it would be too much of a hassle.

While obviously absurd, ignorant, and bad, did you mean for this for the Update for Everyone thread? (Also its own contender for the Theatre, but that's beside the point)

Literally a computer (my comment is more about religious studies than the first one listed; love those classes).

Yeah, that's pretty much why I posted it.

Technologic materialists, am I right?

Gender studies are great too (normal, not a sexist).

I'm not sure how "normal" would go alongside "not a sexist". If there's anything my women and gender studies classes have taught me...

Nothing wrong with the post.  Most racists support Trump.

The inference was "all", not "most". Take a research methods course or something.
