The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

You're posting in the right thread. Ideally, this should be the only thread you ever post in.

I'm not sure why Dave even bothers with more threads than this one tbh.

Sbane is from California and therefore understandably has a slanted opinion on public unions.

Isn't sbane from Tennessee?

No.

[minionofmidas]

He has a point here, though.

Allegedly Richard Nixon was pro choice in order to rid the country of mixed race babies like Barack Obama.

Uh, this is factually correct. Richard Nixon supported legal abortion in cases of rape or miscenegation.

Philadelphia MS was the one where those civil rights workers were killed, wasn't it?

Yes.  Precisely why I voted for Philadelphia, PA

Does not belong here. The reply to it, on the other hand...

He's obviously referring to mainstream pop-country there. I believe Lewis is a fan of Johnny Cash.

My problem isn't necessarily with his dislike of that kind of music, it's the painting of an entire music genre with a broad brush.  I don't believe in insulting any kind of music because I don't believe you have to have a certain degree of intelligence to enjoy something.

No, but having below a certain degree of intelligence and/or taste is frequently required.

Republicans: Large sodas are unhealthy, so I choose not to drink them.
Democrats: Large sodas are unhealthy, I want them banned for everyone.

Then liberals claim they're for individual rights. Hypocrites.

And your position on marijuana...

One's illegal, the other's not, "King".

Nice circular logic, Mike!

I would like to note that when even Nathan is calling one a "puckered asshole", they must deserve it.

Indeed one wonders whether Nathan has verified the fact.

No pony cancer.  Not in this thread.  Please.

Where else but here?

Well, it's official: speaking as a casual MLP fan, I have officially found the worst brony in the entire fandom.

That is saying a lot.

I actually know a guy who's attracted to it.

As in, he's even drawn pornography of it.

That's about 20% of the fanbase, from what I've read.

And, you know, while weird that is perfectly fine. Just as watching that thing is fine (or as near to fine as watching anything on commercial tv regularly is fine, which is to say not really, not entirely.) Mentioning your like for some silly show occasionally, putting it in your sig - fine.

Time to draw a line:


There she is.

Pretending this sh!t is relevant, or serious, or that other people's dislike is not fine: sick.

How about on the International boards?

The pony cancer is absurd, ignorant, and posting about it is bad posting. It belongs here. Ramifications in relation to the ponymeat scandal might arguably belong on the international boards, but only until any American meatpacker gets his first inspection since WWII.

It barely stretches the screen for me.

To me, the two images appear on top of each other. Only a single image over 600 pixels will stretch the screen instead. (And god, did I have to reduce the two blackfooted kitteh images so that they appear next to each other!)

I think the correct pronoun for horses, ponies, pegasi is "it".

[minionofmidas]

And making a million dollars an hour shouldn't seem strange or repugnant -- it's what every person should strive for. I'm disappointed that for somebody out there it does.

Good lord.

Someone likes hyperinflation?

It hasn't been confirmed yet but I have a pretty good idea especially after a conversation I had earlier in the week. Don't know if I'd say he's lying though: he actually is a hyper partisan but likes to embellish his positions/analysis for shock value. Here's a crazy idea: stop paying attention to him!

Well yeah, that's what they read like. One wouldn't need to know him to guess that.

Well, some people here seem to believe he's 100% serious in his comments and not embellishing. If he is who I think he is, there is some embellishment but he really is a hyper partisan.

Yeah, I was including that part.
