First time I've seen someone post directly into the Sulfur Mine.

Really? Look just 17 posts ahead of yours.

The Tweflth Night is epic. We played it in a theater class I took last year, and we all laughed our asses off.

There is no point in engaging BRTD anymore. No point. Period. He is the most irrelevant person on the Forum.

There are many thing to say about BRTD, but certainly not that he is irrelevant.

Oh my, that was beautiful.

Best way of illustrating the point that quantity =/= quality I've ever seen:

Wyodon seems to be truly excellent at calling people out for their BS. Well done.

Well, thanks, but admittedly it's not so much clever takedowns as it is me just laying into people with all the venom I can under the terms of service.

It's a style that I don't dislike.

What are you, twelve? Moronic opinions that are factually wrong to the point of absurdity do not deserve to be treated with anything other than abuse.

However, I'm a bit of a stickler regarding baloney. I was the kid in 2nd grade jumping up and down insisting that Santa Claus was not real.

Good to know your smug self-satisfaction isn't a new thing for you, I guess.

FACT: Cold apples taste better than room temperature apples.

Agree.

[Antonio the Sixth]

That's a negative?

I'll defer to your judgment, since you are clearly the greatest expert on negativity we've ever had.

Did you miss the Buono/McGreevey/Codey/Corzine legislative history?

Did you miss the Krazen1211 posting history?

I genuinely believe atheism/agnosticism/secularism is what will save humanity.  That's why I believe in it so strongly. 

A sound and coherent argument if there ever was one.

Wow, I hadn't noticed that gem.

2. It's not surprising at all that neither Marokai nor Antonio bothered to make any sort of substantial argument.

What?!? MB itemized, link by link, statement by statement, direct compelling documentation of EVERY allegation. How much more 'substantive' an argument can one present??

I mean this litterally and without an ounce of hyperbole: WTF are you talking about?

I think he was talking about Marokai and Antonio's statements about him.    In any case, this argument has run its course so don't feel like you need to resurrect it.

Because A Person's critique is very much based on facts and logical argumentation...

I think baseless personal attacks are deserving of a bit more scrutiny than other types of statements. 
But that's just because I'm a horrible moderate hero with no controversial opinions. 

You have a very odd definition of baseless, but whatever.

A meta-snap is still a snap.

It's a shame that girls these days are masculine just so that Polanski will leave them alone.

It's good to know that an otherwise laughably bad candidate supporting state-sponsored revenge killings when their opponent doesn't is still enough to pull a tied race in this country. I was afraid we were in danger of becoming sensible or compassionate or something. Just because the revenge killings have no positive sociological effect whatsoever and the majority of the population recognizes this is no reason we should stop doing them!

Er, could you edit this post after I've corrected the original to the right form of 'their'? I'd just woken up when I wrote it; thanks.

If this is a consolation for you, I also feel like sh*t for not noticing it.

Hard to vote FF when he at least knew that his government would bomb Pearl Harbor. 

And slaughtered and raped millions of Chinese.

(But clearly Pearl Harbour was the Japanese governments most awful act)

What's absurd about that? That's exactly what Obama's been doing every day since his inauguration.

So it's my job to pay for teenagers to have sex? Whose job is it to pay for my pizza? Go back in time and tell Thomas Jefferson by law he has to pay for teens to have condoms for sex.

Go back in time and tell Thomas Jefferson by law he can't own slaves.

Is there anything in the Constitution that says that American taxpayer money can be sent to foreign countries?  I don't understand why we do it.  We have our own people to take care of, our own needs.  We should spend the money here at home first.  Then, maybe if there's money left over, give foreign aid, but it should be much smaller than what we're giving.

Also: President Obama is spending $100 million on his trip to Africa, where he is receiving a cool reception (in some places its actually a hostile reception).  What was the point of this trip and was it worth $100 million of our money?

There's so much money being wasted.  Balance the budget, close the deficit?  Spend wiser.

Why should I have to give money to help other people?! They don't even have the same skin color or religion as me! Besides, they'll probably just have it wasted, lol.

Ok well time to hop in my mom's minivan to go down to the mall and buy an iPad mini. Later,  guys.

Treating something that is fundamentally not a 'business transaction' as if it is is fundamentally moronic, as well as dangerous. But don't be disheartened. Attitudes like that may well be criminally stupid, but they will serve you well in your future career as a loathsome middle manager-cum-petty tyrant in a company that provides useless services to the service sector in Septic Swamp, FL.

About "Barfbag":

His name is an accurate description of the effect of his posts on reasonable, intelligent posters.  How nice.

So the best the libertarians can come up with are a couple of anti-Semitic lines? Weren't most people anti-Semitic back then? I thought you guys had legitimate attacks against you know, his economic theories.

If you were a black youth in the vicinity of some paranoid bigot on patrol, which would you rather they have?
