The Atlas Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

We needed this thread. I was considering doing one myself (calling it "stupidity sh*tmine") but forgot about it.

I had made a thread like that but it didn't last very long.

The level has risen and will continue to arise as the election approaches......but let's not derail Mr. Kemp's brilliant thread.

Couching an accusation of racism qualifies, eh? 

Grumpy I think we all know why you picked Africa.

Actually that is a funny post. I should take him off of ignore

I did.......he's much funnier than I thought.  He had to dig deep to troll that post of mine since it was so early on in the thread.  I'm honored!

(whisper with me now, kids, Grumpy is a racist!  shhhh. quietly, please)

Actually, the evil was just as close as it was on September 10, 2001. We just ignored it before then.

Because the change after 9/11 was all about recession, debates, and political divides.

Isn’t that the complete opposite of what a memorial is supposed to accomplish?

Does he think the military is a police force or something? He might have mentioned that their purpose was to bring the fight to the terrorists and deny them safe harbor.

Maybe we should continue to dedicate ourselves to the fight against the terrorists. Maybe we should give thanks to the fact that we have gone ten years without another attack. Maybe we should do everything we can to make sure that those sacrificed did not die in vain.

Seriously, were his speechwriters actually TRYING to diminish 9/11 as much as they could?

I was under the impression that many secular Tea Party members are moderates.  These are libertarians, Perot voters, economic voters, small govt voters, etc.  Many small govt voters were anti-war and anti-Iraq, and I would not be surprised if a decent number of Tea Party voters had in fact voted for Obama in 2008, but are now pissed off at Health Care Reform and the economy.

All of this.....including his obsession with being inferior to J.J.

A must for this thread.

Religions should be allowed to practice their beliefs and if that means letting someone go who does not hold to Catholic doctrine, then that's the beauty of our country and what I love about America. I feel bad for the teacher and don't find anything wrong with homosexuals who want to be together, but that's a different story. It's times like this that make me proud to be an American.

I'm sorry, but why did people throw a fit about this thread being locked when posts here just keep getting crossposted in the goldmine and vice versa?

This one was absurd and funny.

As long as there are no side attacks on each other this is a repository for postings......I don't know why it upsets you so, to be honest.

It doesn't upset me - I just don't get it.

I don't get half of the threads on the FC & OT boards.......
