Strawman Thread

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

cinyc is kind of an idiot.

Oh c'mon Xahar, he's a smart fellow, whether you agree with him or not.......reminds of another young fellow who I can't agree with often

By the logic of various conservatives who have posted in this thread, we should legalize murder, robbery, and rape.  After all gentlemen, why coddle the weak with legal protections?

The spectacle of some people showing more outrage against teachers than against the Wall Strett wizards and bankers who brought the world economy to its knees, is really depressing.

So, when are they going to pass a bill permitting handguns in kindergartens?

When kindergartners have the legal right to carry, like most college students do.

You mean they haven't??
And nobody has yet talked about this obvious infringement of the Second Amendment and unprecedented attack on liberty?
 

and excessive hyperbole

Because posting on the internet is in any way similar to drunk driving 

This thread is rather pointless, since Dave's the only person who can take King off mod review.  Even Nym can't do that.  Doesn't matter if the points are taken away or not now.  Once you cross 50 points you go on mod review, even if you subsequently drop below 50, with some of the points being rescinded.

So you're pinning your hopes on Dave actually reading this thread, and acting on it before the five days are up anyway.

Ummmm…….good luck with that.

So we can blame Ernest and Inks?

King was already on mod review by the time I assigned points.  However, I wouldn't blame Inks.  I'd blame either King or the culture of enablers that think drunken foolishness is cute and harmless.  In 2012, there were 10,322 people in the United States who could testify that drunken foolishness is deadly serious.  Or rather the coroners who signed their death certificates could testify to that.
