Who is worse, politics posters who developed their posting style in SMP or politics posters who developed their posting style in BBV4L?

There are reasons why we ritualize attack comedy in the form of roasts, rap battles, and take a shot threads. I'd expect the humor in a bad poster thread comes from the content of the bad posts more often than not. Muther****er is far more a topical insult than horse****er, but I am arbitarily being a comedic nit.

Unchained for life Mutha****a!

In other words, perhaps unsurprisingly, you play losing poker.

The ones who continually ask stupid questions LDO

Thekid,

Was that enough on the discussion of who taught Hitler about anti-semitism, or do you have anything to add?

Yeah part of my problem is that I think about being offended completely differently than most other people seem to do.

Why would I be offended by something that is not true? If I feel offended it is my intuition telling me that the other person might have a point and it is my responsibility to deal with it. I am actually offended by some of the posts I made because they weren't good. So I try to deal with it. I am offended by people saying I am stupid and illogical, so I am dealing with that because they might have a point.


I try not to offend people because it is the nice thing to do because I know they think about it differently. And because offending somebody just distracts from the conversation. I am not offended by being called names by wookie et al. I know that they are not right. It just makes it impossible to talk to them (edit: and the still accusing me of being a holocaust denier thing makes me really sad and angry). But I know other people would be deeply offended.

But in the end it is not completely understandable to me to be offended by holocaust deniers or their arguments as a Jew. I can be scared or angry that such people exist (that is my reaction) but being offended by something they say? Seems to be too mild of a reaction on one hand and too much of one on the other.

I think it is something mostly non Jews do. They want to be offended on behalf of Jews. I am not sure why they do it, probably a bad conscience thing or they are just waiting for an opportunity to lecture you about how to not be anti-semitic because they want to show off or something. It is uncalled for and patronizing edit: or so it seems to me.

Saying that parts are "made up" necessarily implies fabrication, or at the very least, inference which you find of dubious merit. Your use of double negative in the following sentence leaves tons of room for a limited number of events to not have taken place as described by the commission, even if many did. "Omissions" is in no way synonymous with parts being "made up."

Jiggs Casey believes that the towers fell as the commission reported, but he's also a 9/11 truther. There are a lot of different flavors of truther. Maybe you're not a "Jewish Cabal" truther, but you still sound a whole lot like a LIHOP truther.

Probably.

Yeah, and that was part of the confusion. I asked you what parts were made up, and you linked to an article that only criticized things that weren't there, not things that were there and that were made up.

It would certainly clear things up.

Points like "...the report skirts the question of whether American policies and actions fed the anger that manifested itself on September 11," are valid criticism of the report and not truther material, but such points are hardly consistent with parts of the report being "made up."

OK

Ehh. If you as a Jewish person are not offended by it, that doesn't mean other Jewish people don't have the right to be. I can completely understand why Jewish people might be offended by denials (or questions surrounding the validity of data of the Holocaust). But like I said, I'm not Jewish, so it just doesn't bother me that much. I'll mention to a denier that I don't believe what he might be saying, but I'm not willing to get into a flat out heated argument over it because it doesn't involve me all that much.

There are certain topics that are just not worth even discussing even if you believe them to have some sort of merit is all I'm really saying. Just be very careful how you word things, especially something like that which can be met with such heated argument from the other side.

FWIW I don't think you're a holocaust denier. I'm not sure what you are, but I wouldn't say a denier.

When I cut off his dick and tongue and ate it.

Hm. If I say I know very little about the holocaust will that be taken as weakness?:-) It might could be interpreted as an insult. But thank you.



Yeah there is a lot of this going on. I still don't really get why. Some of the critiques were helpful though. And some of it was my fault. Damn, weakness.


I don't think it has to do with idealism, hell I am way too idealistic. But I get your point.

I'm here to **** horses and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum.

Have any of you racist horse****ing pieces of human garbage realized that you can just all go back to SMP and never have to worry about fly or Wookie ever again?

Zeno is pretty tight with the reins on politics poasting. I guess he gets saddle sore.

SMP = suck my peppy

Get it?! Because they all are DRUG ADDICTS

Boom

It should be possible to frame a question about the accuracy of Holocaust death estimates as a math question. Or to phrase it in a Sklansky-esque hypothetical that doesn't even mention the Holocaust.

Meh, even if Zeno allowed it, it would be separate and unequal.

What about this:

What is the correct word to use here?

So wait. Is one a truther if one thinks that not ALL events have taken place as described by the commission, is that what you are saying?



Why?



Ok. But I corrected it and said omission would be better but you chose to ignore that. And see above for the made up part.

I got no sympathy for these guys but that's now how this forum is supposed to work. (Alta that is)

Yeah as I said: I don't completely understand why they are but I respect it. Never said they don't have the right.


Ok, understood.

Sounds like a hedge, but fair enough.

I do contract work for the EPA, and I believe in protecting and cleaning up the environment, and I'm glad we have the EPA and I support it. They employ tons of highly qualified scientists ranging from geologists to toxicologists to engineers, and so on. It's an organization influenced by politics and self preservation and I'm comfortable saying sometimes they make shyt up.

Probably "flattered." If your entire criticism of the report is so narrow and specific, you can silence your critics pretty easily by actually posting a specific criticism rather than your tapdance routine.

"Some parts of the 9/11 commission report were made up."
"What? Are you a truther, too?"
"No. Check out chapter 7, section 2, 3rd paragraph. The author was a little too kind in wording his description of the actions, (really, incompetence) of his buddy at the FBI."
"Uh, ok. Is that really important?"

And we'd be done.

Why else do you think I was asking you what parts were made up and what weren't?

Epic fail there. You're a complete idiot if you think that saying there are other things worse than racists qualifies as white knighting racists.

And another one bites the dust.

Ya'll keep confusing politics with unchained. Y'all want tribal sub-forums you get to pick one, but I'm ****in mutha****ing uchained so **** that. SMP unchained exists within unchained as part of the very fabric. The other Politics and SMP forums are different kinds of bread. Unchained is the ****ing bakery. So **** a doughnut or shove a croissant up your as if you want. Stick your dick in the batter and snort the flour. It's that kind of party. I guess you can even **** any animals that wander in.

Because the people you're engaging with are trolls who have absolutely no interest in political discussion and simply want to hurt people for their own amusement.

I don't recall that working out so well for BruceZ.
