Yep, once this is over, regardless of whether the politics forums reopens or not, I will not be back.

Of course I took some pleasure given what I've had to endure arguing my point and getting harassed in here for it but I also know that it forms a big part of this site and as long as you can get the rules and mods right I don't see why a politics forum on this site can't continue.

Unfortunately they are correct. Basic human rights is definitely a far left position.

You've been on a childish mission to change or shutdown the forum purely out of spite. So, this is your victory. "credit" not "blame" Congrats.
this post could and should be directed at just about everyone participating in the days of chezlaws politics. it describes the situation precisely. amazing right? maybe you wouldn't be in this situation if this advice had been dispensed at the time. you guys demanded censorship and badgered the admin. you asked for them to step in and censor, and you got what you asked for

Man that's ****ing embarrassing ha ha.

What the ****? I've never once demanded censorship. What are you talking about?

Lol your post was:
- I don't understand why people pretend to be in the center.
- Actually, I am in the center.

Dude, you are on the right, and more damning, you are a wall-of-text ****poster. I am generally against exiling people but yours was well-earned.
04-20-2019 , 01:30 PM
Geez Bundy we're all really sorry about tarnishing your good name fella. I couldn't find a link to For He's a Jolly Good Fellow so I hope this is a suitable replacement.

my apologies. it must have been my imagination that there was a mob of politics regs campaigning daily for chezlaws politics section to be shut down. you participated in chezlaws politics and didn't dispense this sage advice at the time, but thats just because the campaign to shut it down was just my imagination

I recommend that anyone who takes this bull**** seriously read the thailand thread in the travel forum. You will find tips on how to find hookers in bars in Phuket and how to defraud the Thai government on any number of points and other edifying **** of that nature.

You could read the Degen Stories in the Beats, Brags, and Variance Forum, if you need some wholesome feel good stories after reading about Thailand.

Then you could visist BBVL and read about other people's recent ****s and other completely mindless stuff that no one not already in on the completely unfunny jokes will get.
04-20-2019 , 01:37 PM
That can't be right.
Admins condoning sex with mentally incompetent minors?
That's some sick stuff.
Does Mat know?

im on the right based on what?

i won't hold my breathe. this is why arguments like lol get formulated. ideologues run on narratives and don't think. this is why it wasnt a coincidence jman melted down at a new poster when it was a reg that posted the 14 year old nazi saluters. your ultra sophisticated pov is something like "im against nazi's so anyone that calls me an idiot is a nazi"


so back to me being right wing.... "lol"

we have to see how this plays out. it is possible that a wookie playground, properly labeled, could blossom into a permanent wookie forum à la edf.

but first go ahead and give your new stomping grounds a try. i know this appears sudden and strange, but it's been coming for a long time. i want to see this site go back to its roots. if that means it fails, that's ok with me. again, these are my personal beliefs and everything might be overturned.
i have unilaterally made a decision to close the politics forum as it was. mason may overturn that decision. i may even be fired. but if he doesn't overturn this and i am not fired the above is what will remain.

i wish everyone who leaves to post on the spin off politics forum well, whether they choose to post here in other forums or not.
04-20-2019 , 01:38 PM
Well alright since it does not look like the forum is getting reopened and posters like bundy5 and juan valdez are the more valued costumers for 2p2 management. I wont let the door hit me. Take care all.

OK so I had to dig deeper than my layman's ambergris knowledge to address this question.

Quote:
Ambergris is only produced by the sperm whale or pygmy sperm whale. Sperm whales are the largest of the toothed whales and primarily feed upon squid. The average sperm whale will consume around a ton of squid a day, equating to several thousand squid beaks and other debris which, after a while, start to build up in the sperm whale’s four stomach chambers. As a rule, sperm whales will regularly vomit this mass of sharp and indigestible squid remains; however, very occasionally, these pass further into the whale’s digestive system and this sets the scene for ambergris to be formed. A world expert on ambergris, whale scientist, Dr Robert Clarke has described the several-year process of creating a lump of ambergris deep within the intestines of the whale.

As the tangled mass of squid beaks passes through the intestines en route to the rectum, it becomes saturated with faeces. This mass of squid remains and faeces bind together in the whale’s rectum, which itself is teeming with bacteria. Under these conditions, the mass grows ever larger and, over a period of years, forms a ‘boulder’ which increasingly obstructs the whale’s rectum. Sometimes the whale is able to excrete the mass and survive, but in other cases – maybe because the lump of ambergris has grown too large to be accommodated in the whale’s gut – the unfortunate whale suffers a fatal rupture. Either way, the ambergris is ejected into the ocean, where it may float at the mercy of currents for long periods of time before eventually washing ashore.

It is clear, then, that ambergris only develops in rare and specific circumstances. Indeed, scientists estimate that ambergris is found in the intestine of only 1-5% of sperm whales or pygmy sperm whales and, despite current media headlines, it is more accurately described as ‘whale poo’ rather than ‘whale sick’! Once excreted, the ambergris may float in the ocean for many years, becoming more solid over time, before eventually being washed ashore.
So, I would say that the closer a person was to resembling a whale-feces-laden mass of squid beaks, the more likely it would be that they could become ambergris. I will leave it up to the reader to conclude whether that would apply in this case, as I do not want to get ATF shut down.

I barely participated in chez's forum. I didn't hate it or anything, but I didn't like it and if there's a forum that I don't like on the internet I generally ignore it. I also generally have ignored the atf threads because I don't give a **** about the gossip and talking **** about forums or posters. Pol is shut down now, so I'm here for a minute, but that will be done with soon. Bundy, and you, have made complaining about other people and forums your mission and you were successful in whining until you got what you wanted. Congrats!

I guess other whiners (not me) were similarly successful in shutting down forums you liked. So maybe you were getting your childish revenge. Got it. Congrats!

I used to read some of your posts in the unchained / p7. Your views, when they can be separated from the text-wall, are clearly right of center. LOL if you think I'm going to like go back and quote-mine or something to "prove this".

**** you.

I'm only in until the inevitable perma, or until the politics forum is reinstated. I don't wish you well (I mean, I don't wish like harm on you or your family or anything, but if the site fails I will feel somewhat gratified and probably laugh at you).

Enjoy.

Also, all of your problems were self-inflicted because you were too stupid to admin the politics section properly.
