There's no need to balance the budget.

My head almost exploded.

Almost? What need be said to make it actually explode?

lol. It was just a figure of speech. I was basically saying what was said was so painful to logic that my mind either need to be re-examined (which many of you would agree with) or I just have a really hard time understanding it. Can someone explain it to me?

And I'm saying I want your head to actually explode. I would very much enjoy that. Please film it.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Came here to post that.

RIP in Peace.

Let me guess, you enter your PIN Number at the ATM Machine?

[Antonio the Sixth]

ugh.  horrible choice.  obviously id vote biden, but wouldnt do so enthusiastically.

This honestly surprises me. Usually, when the correct choice seems obvious because one of the options is beyond ridiculous, you opt for the latter...

Folks who are 'anti-sex' by your metric are often pro-other things that people at advanced stages of moral development tend to value significantly more than convenient access to orgasms (or money, for that matter), so, you know, that's where the appeal of democracy and populism come in. But you knew that already.

That is not 'advanced', Nathan.  Its just arbitrary socialization... ridiculous to value it as 'better' or 'worse' than any other arrangement.

See, you're saying that because you're stuck in a type of moral calculus that's most common among small children.

Gotta love the good 'ol public sector

You're so cute! I wish I could troll this poorly. Unfortunately, if I changed my avatar to a colour more suitable for things worth flushing, someone would call my bluff. Anyway, you're not invisible, sweetheart, just without value.

Rare? Tik is regularly one of our wittiest posters.

A) The '99 percent' is a meaningless talking point that bears no relation to reality and...

I don't think you understand the definition of "reality".

I feel a bit out of the loop about Atlas culture these days, so just to check: middle-aged man bragging to teen virgins about his big c*ck is still the coolest person ever, right?

This should be in the Silver mine.

How can a question be a "simple truth"?

Rhetorical ones can.

Maybe. But it's definitely also pretty snappy.

Vosem, we don't want to know how much of a disgusting, degenerate excuse of a human being you are. We really don't need this knowledge in our lives.

But we do need your histrionics about Vosem.

I fully support bitching about supporters of murderous dictators, yes.

Franzl, as usual, says all that needs to be said.

In the 21st century, for me, democracy is almost entirely a means to an end. At the moment, a democratic system (at least in my country) seems to gurantee respect for private property, the rule of law and the nation state. But I have no sentimental attachment to democracy. If a government was to be democratically elected which pledged to nationalise banks permanently, promote atheism in schools, abolish the monarchy, attack the concept of private property and introduce other such policies, I would be perfectly prepared to drop the idea of democracy like a hot brick, and instead support a coup d'etat to remove that administration and replace it with a more agreeable one. As for foreign countries, I would not be averse to financing/effecting coup's against democratically-elected governments who pursued policies which were particularly dangerous to my country or to it's allies. So yes, democracy is a system which a majority of people will support in today's world, but if that system threatens me, or people that I'm close to or sympathise with, then, no, it is not important that it be maintained.

Do you really need to demonstrate what a horrible person you are in practically every post?

I don't dislike Inks, I just think he has a condition

[Antonio the Sixth]

An awful lot of severe overthinking in this thread.

Which is an awful lot better than severe underthinking.

This sounds really shallow of me to ask, but why do I get the feel that it's easier for homosexuals to hook up with people than it is for straights?  Given the general (albeit evolving) attitude in the United States on homosexuality, I'd expect the complete opposite to be the case.

You must be joking.  Women are the brakes and men the accelerator pedal when it comes to the Automobile of Love, Scotty, my boy.

Maybe women are the brakes because you are the wall.

I think now we can use opebo as definition  for FF when explaining the term to new posters of atlas forum.

If you want to scare off any new poster with a functioning moral compass or even just a sense of shame, sure.

[Antonio the Sixth]

It's Sanchez, but still, credit where it's due:

The brutal silencing of enemies of the regime--not even for violations of the TOS--sets an awful precedent which will surely spiral into more executions of those who displease the powerful. I fear for my own survival on this forum.

This post is so awful that it makes me fear your survival.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Dude, I am regulary labeled a bigot, an idiot, and an asshole. I take it with stride. I dish what I take.

Maybe instead of doing that you should think about why you get called those things.

Great, the only person who ragequit after the opebo ban who was so forgettable he didn't even get a 'Be honest' poll about him, and he's the only one to return so far!

Can't any of you mods just be pleasant?  Sorry that I don't have time to post 7,000 times a day while I'm out here making sure the terrorists don't win. 

"making sure the terrorists don't win"... lol

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'm fairly well liked and respected in real life, and some people, for some bizarre reason, seem to regard me as wise (if that's the right word) and ask for advice from me. On the forum, I'm the chap whom most people have a kind of apathetic contempt for, rather like the dog doo-dah you might find, to your disgust, clinging to the sole of your shoe. So yeah, quite a contrast.

From what you've said you're surrounded by like minded people. On here you are not, hence the difference.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'm sorry Oakvale but really, the act is getting old.

Probably a necessary evil.

Yeah, we get it, you're not a "True Leftist".

[Antonio the Sixth]

Makes sense since it is not in any way a currency.

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it isn't actually the thing it says it is.

For example, your dismissive outrage at things you don't like could be a form of currency.  Not one that anybody willingly accepts... but one that is used by you nearly constantly on this forum.

lol

[Antonio the Sixth]

Why am I not on this list?

Apparently no one found your posts noteworthy, controversial, or interesting enough.

 I am a fascist, how is that not controversial? LOL

You can call yourself whatever you want, you are still a nonentity.
