The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Its not absurdly bad just because he didn't get your irony. The post itself is sensible and well argued.

I'd agree with you if my post hadn't included the part in parenthesis. That should have been enough to clue in all but the clueless.

Your post is irrelevant in judging whether his is absurd or bad. It makes perfect sense even if you deleted yours and should be judged on its own merit.

His post was clearly written in reply to mine based on its content.  Context matters when it comes to judging absurdity.  I'll grant that as a stand alone post, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't a stand alone post and therefore should not be judged on that basis.

opebo's response to problems arising from big government is more government.  No exceptions.  Combine that with extreme far-leftism on social issues and you've got a pretty scary combination.

Cheese is no healthier than Doritos.

I thought this was mad funny:

Obama has certainly been a good President for the 1%.

Right because the poors aren't allowed to invest in the stock market

Cheese is no healthier than Doritos.

He's right.  Both are high in fat and sodium.  It's mainly because people don't eat cheese in the same quantities as they do Doritoes that it doesn't cause some of the same problems.

While I do not feel the same way, my disdain for Obama and his regime means I do take pleasure at this high of a percentage that feels this way.

…because fat and sodium are the only components of healthiness now?

This is definitely in the top 5 stupidest posts of 2013.

Marokai on policy, koenkai on personality (normal)

That's your opinion, drj101, but perhaps you should look through their posting histories.

It looks like we do have female members. Two people voted never.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Somewhat prickly versus, frankly, insidious? I don't think this demonstrates what you wanted it to demonstrate.

Another -- some states tax different items. Some states tax food, and some don't. Some tax prescription medicines, and some don't. Some tax religious materials and some don't. 

It is quite interesting. The freeloaders using EBT are exempt from paying sales  taxes that real Americans have to pay in some situations.

Inhumane piece of s**t.

...Wow. Even for krazen that's...

And there are people who think I have a problem with empathy?

I don't want to use the word "pussy" in its derogatory connotation, but A Person so perfectly fits the popular meaning of that word that it's hard to find alternatives. His outrage at anyone who bluntly expresses their thought and doesn't engages in useless formalities has reached comically absurd degrees. Jeez, everyone here iz soo meeen!!!

Oh, so it's okay to call people c**nts now for being thoughtful and sensitive?  Is that the new feminist thing?

The vituperative disdain for people promoting reasonable balance here is what is insidious.  And Marokai is a master at creating it.

I don't exactly see anything "thoughtful" about A Person's knee-jerk reaction to anyone who doesn't constantly bother about using understatements in order not to look rude. Paying so much attention to the caustic/assertive tone of a post while totally ignoring its substance strikes me as the exact opposite of thought.

I guess it depends what you put in "reasonable balance". This is the kind of buzzword that can be applied to literally everything. I also think that my own views constitute a reasonable balance between several contradictory concerns. If you are referring to this tendency to assume that, when you have two contrasting positions, the truth lies exactly in between, I certainly can see why Marokai doesn't like it.

Jack saves history!

Though I would probably just visit the past and see my future (actually go to 2050 and see how America and the rest of the world is) I would make this one major tweak to history:

Convincing the Continental Congress to make a balanced budget amendment to the Bill of Rights even though they already know that the leaders should not waste more than they have and to not steal from any other peoples' money.

The bold is the best part. People on this forum joke about conservatives accusing people that they don't like of not being "real Americans", but he actually said it.

I don't think you can really compare Atlas members to Holocaust deniers, but my first pick would be Kalwejt, along with Franzl, a Person, and Leif.

It's a post that you laugh at because you don't want to believe anyone could be that much of an asshole.

I like it because of its absurdity and the fact that the second part contradicts the first.
