Can we stop tossing around the word 'racist' like its a sorority girl on halloween

"To complain about people pointing out racism, I think I'm gonna use a misogynist metaphor. Yeah, that'll show 'em."

Sort of ironic that this got posted by snowguy in a global warming thread, because this burns.

One thing I've learned after 6 years of posting on Atlas is that you are truly a miserable human being.

Nobody can be as nasty as you are to others without feeling pretty awful about yourself.  And you should.

It belongs in the irony ore mine, not here.

My interactions with him (and, also, various things he has said to other people, I can dig up links if you really need them).  He has definitely been an at least an order of magnitude more unpleasant towards me than anyone else has on Atlas.

I don't know. Ernst Thalmann is an important historical figure for Germany, not a failed troll at some obscure forum.

I see that you are completely irrational Reagan.  You are a sort of puddle of dumb emotions, like some nincompoop watching a Hollywood movie.

How could one even know if 'she was walking down the street to buy crack'?  Are you suggesting that the accused rapist be able to offer 'she's a crackhead' as a defense?

McConnell has yet to buy the election.

Not a McConnell fan, I take it?

I don't mind him, I'm just realistic that his money machine will literally nuke Grimes.

He is literally going to drop a nuclear bomb on her? Like actually drop a physical bomb? Will she be in Kentucky at the time? Wouldn't that hurt Mitch with the electorate?

He could have just been using the Google definition of literally.

I was using the Google definition, yep.

People who use this definition of literally should be figuratively shot.

Get over yourself.

Using literal to mean non-literal has been happening for over a century; for example Mark Twain routinely used the word in this fashion

This is hilarious that the "literal" argument picked up again today because I was having an argument about the definition literally two hours ago with some friends!

TNF if you so against Spamage then run for President against him. You can make your case there instead of snipping from the sidelines. That is unless you are afraid you would loose?
Look I am backing no one so far in the President's race, I feel a healthy debate is always needed and honestly I feel that Spamage v. TNF v. someone else (TBD) would be great.
So TNF, if you think Spamage has not a great job then run against him. Put your money where your mouth is.

If TNF goes for the Labor (IIRC he's Labor, but I might be wrong...) Nom and Spamage gets the Federalist Nom, we're probably about to see an Atlasia SMACK DOWN!

BTW, Go Spamage!

Of course the Western bourgeois media would write a slanted load like that to a country which has decided to stop marching to Washington's drumbeat. If you only read Western media, I doubt you've heard of the protests and strikes against the quasi-fascist regime in Colombia, for instance.
Quit trying so hard.

You guys are aware it was the rebels that did the chemical attacks and are framing Assad. We shouldn't get involved at all.

1. The chemical weapons were fired from rockets that the rebels have no indication of possessing the capability to launch
2. Since the start of the conflict the Syrian government has been stockpiling their chemical weapons in a single location to prevent rebels from capturing them
3. The attack was on civilians (and a small group of rebel fighters) in a suburb of Damascus very sympathetic to the rebels
4. The rockets were fired in the middle of an unexpected surprise attack by government forces on the rebels

So the two possibilities here are:

A) The government fired rockets that delivered chemical weapons as part of their offensive

OR

B) The rebels acquired chemical weapons in spite of the government's stockpile efforts, and they managed to rig up an effective launcher system, and aimed it directly at the civilian areas of their only sizeable stronghold in the greater Damascus area, with plans to fire it off and attack their own people just in case the Syrian government someday attacks, trading the lives of thousands of their own people in exchange for making the government look like the bad guys on the international stage and maybe hopefully possibly convincing someone somewhere to intervene against the Syrian government in some fashion


Sorry man but I think A is a bit more likely here.
