nah, I still have things to say

[Joe Republic]

I bed to differ by virtue of one entry: my own retort to greenforest. I would certainly not class it as particularly witty; rather, it was more along the lines of just verbally punching him in the face(whether it was deserved or not being up to the reader). Yet, it was allowed to stay.

Eeh, eye of the beholder, etc.

Losing money is against the law?

Also, QFT:

I still don't understand how a thread celebrating insults of one poster to another is allowed to exist if people are regularly being infracted for insulting one another.  Seems a bit....counter productive.  Even more so when you look at how many mods are posting and being quoted in it.

shut up

I believe these attacks on soldiers and now on this school are the work of a radical lone wolf Islamist or neo Nazi. 

You really should become an FBI agent.

When you've been QFT'd by CADan I think it's fair to say you've hit rock bottom.

I hate the concept that apparently a political view can't be criticized for being ignorant or bigoted because "it's just my opinion" and that needs to be respected because it's a free country and everyone's beliefs are equal. And at the same time we're not supposed to use inflammatory words or phrases, we're allowed to hold views that are perfect examples of them. As long as no one points it out and the wording is "nice", ignorance and bigotry are ok.

The general prevailing concepts of respecting things for the sake of being respectful, the devaluing and overvaluing of simple words, and the apparent need to model political discourse off the absurd, semantics-based system of lies our politicians operate on is just lazy and completely ignorant. All our values seem to be either mixed up, misplaced, or made up in this country. It's embarrassing.

Come to think of it, isn't 'racist cretin under the influence of PCP' a fairly objective description of CaDan?

I'm surprised the thread hasn't been shut down too, honestly.

I'm pleasantly surprised the thread hasn't been shut down too, honestly.

I give it until the end of the month.

Please people don't start tempting him.

This one isn't locked yet?  I'm stunned/

[Paul Kemp]

So I guess Inks' contribution confirms that we can basically convert this thread into 'The Michael A. Naso Institute of Comedy & Absurd Posts'?  Good deal.

[Joe Republic]

I love how everyone is treating this as an abstract case.

And I love who nobody is looking at all the evidence.

How come you have access to all the evidence in Philly?

Actually, Romney will be a cross between the new Washington/Jefferson/Lincoln/Teddy Roosevelt/FDR/Ike/JFK/Reagan.

You misspelled Hoover.

#3.  5-4, as Stevens casting the deciding vote.

Stevens hasn't been on the court for two years.

These aren't even snap-worthy. Correcting J.J. is a routine task.

No way - my preferred ticket would be Palin-Paul.

Edit: Darn, you made me forget this was my 1000th Atlus post and I didn't even use grandeur or make it fun.  I'll make up for that: If the president is reelected he will destroy whats left of this fragile country and announce himself dictator.  Romney will be so weak if elected that he will fold to every democratic desire during the off periods between elections.  They are both globalists and socialists.  We all need to wake up to that.

This is the worst post ever made in the history of the forum. You should feel bad and your parents should be arrested.

Have Santorum and his campaign completely lost their minds?

Well, at least they know where not to start looking: your head.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I like to pretend that BushOK doesn't exist any more.  I don't just mean as a poster, but as an actual person.  It's easier on my general sense of humanity that way.

[Phony Moderate]

Why do you assume I wouldn't love my child?

I'm not at all accusing you of not loving your hypothetical child. I'm simply pointing out that by being so intolerant of their lifestyle (getting pissed when they bring their partner around) you're making life a lot, lot harder for them than it needs to be.

Love does not mean always agreeing with everything someone does. It is in many cases the exact opposite: still honestly hoping the best for someone when you are distinctly not in agreement. Loving one's enemies does not mean they are no longer enemies.

In the case of a child, I would have made a promise before God to raise that child in the practice of faith upon baptism and engaging in a homosexual act or entering into a homosexual relationship is a grave sin thus contrary to God's teachings. Their partner would not be permitted to enter my house as a partner and my child would not be permitted to see his/her partner. I would teach my child to remain celibate with every bit of effort I can muster. It would likely be difficult to succeed but what choice would I have? Loving a child would include wishing them eternal life in heaven not just temporal happiness.

Understandably, I hope you never become a father; you don't seem to have what it takes to be one, or do you display anything remotely attractive to most intelligent women. The fact you want your child to live a miserable life because you chose to and place restrictions on him that are psychologically destructive provides an interesting insight into your own psyche.

Sometimes simple things are the best.

Does the US electorate agree with the birther stuff that Obama was not born here?

I for one symphatise with the birthers.  Obama has not conclusively proved his birth and Sheriff Arpaio is doing an investigation.

 Republicans should use the birther issue more.  Why are they not pursuing it? 

 

You're an idiot, you know.

This thread is becoming nothing but a litany of moderators abusing people from a position of complete immunity.

Afleitch's post doesn't belong here...we need a thread with the most brazenly accurate posts on the forum. It would belong there.
