OK, I’m not actually complaining about Modding’s marley, for once, I don’t care and he was probably 100% correct to ban this idiot, except I amused myself on the way to the dentist’s office this morning (light cleaning only–some bacteria in the right rear molar area, if you’re interested) by annotating the stupid OP here, only to find by the time I got out of the chair and back to my office that the OP had been banned, and now I had no place to put my annotations. So, herewith my notes on the colossally stupid OP with a request that the PTB move this thread wherever they think appropriate, including “up where the sun don’t shine.” Thus:
In the hope of making your incomprehensible rant less so, I’ve broken it up into separate bits, mainly sentences, although the concept of ‘sentences’ is mostly foreign to your writing style. It was a little tedious to use the quote function, so I’ve responded to each little bit IN CAPITAL LETTERS. I hope it will be clear where your writing leaves off and mine begins:
In true testament to liberal open mindedness, I see posts about GOP lies and of course the liberal view is the one that gels with reality. REALITY HAS A LIBERAL BIAS, TRUE.
So in order to offer actual contrarian views in this uniform borg board (how do you feel good debating with other borg or is it comfort food?) YES? “IN ORDER TO…’ WHAT? FINISH YOUR THOUGHT.
reasons I am not a liberal, personal and pragmatic DO I CARE?
personal: I think the liberal point of view is hypocritical. I’M SURE IT THINKS WORSE OF YOU. SO WHAT?
I have yet to meet one liberal that leads a moral life. DON’T GET AROUND MUCH, DO YOU?
But they have morals for me and everyone else, namely unending freedom to do anything that isn’t violent (depictions not included) and of course talking about any RESTRAINT or self control is nonsensical church crap. THIS MAKES ALMOST NO SENSE.
And of course 99% of the liberals I know (but this is a selection bias) live very conservative social lives but want radical anarchy for everyone else. HOW MANY LIBERALS DO YOU KNOW? HOW MANY OF THEM WOULD ENDORSE YOUR PARAPHRASE OF THEIR LIVES? I’M GUESSING “CLOSE TO 0” AND “0.”
I don’t think everything is a right. DOES ANYONE?
If I did Id be a communist. NO, YOU WOULDN’T.
frankly, they didnt ultimately consider everything a right either. LMK WHEN YOU STOP ARGUING WITH YOURSELF.
I think Hayek had it all right. YOU’RE ENTITLED TO HOLD STUPID OPINIONS.
I dont believe less productive people should get more. WHO DOES?
I wonder why so many libs think celebrities and cheesey musicians are okay but not bankers and businessmen. ME, I WONDER WHAT ROMNEY REALLY THINKS OF CLINT EASTWOOD, VICTORIA JACKSON AND MEATLOAF. OR ARE CELEBS AND MUSICIANS BAD ONLY WHEN THEY’RE SUPPORTING DEMOCRATS?
How contorted is that. ABOUT THE SAME AS YOUR USE OF PUNCTUATION.
Maya angelou’s poetry sucks. FIRST SMART JUDGMENT YOU’RE MADE. CONGRATULATIONS.
There, I said it. AND YOU USED THE APOSTROPHE CORRECTLY, TOO. NOW LET’S WORK ON THAT TRICKY ‘CAPITALIZING PROPER NAMES’ ISSUE THAT SO BEDEVILS YOU.
I believe you should be judged by your work, not your gender, color, religion, whatever,. I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD BE JUDGED BY YOUR MASTERY OF TERMINAL PUNCTUATION. NOT EVERYONE, JUST YOU.
Pragmatic: I believe in small government and low taxes. YES, JUST TO SUPPORT ONLY THAT SHIT THAT YOU PERSONALLY BENEFIT FROM.
I think government should support policies it believes beneficial to the whole country. AND YOU DEFINE ‘THE WHOLE COUNTRY’ AS ‘YOU, PERSONALLY,’ OF COURSE.
ideas like the minimum wage, welfare, socialized medicine, affirmative action sound great (at least on some level) but they cause more problems than they solve. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT YOU’RE AN UNDEREMPLOYED WHITE MALE? ASTRONOMICAL, RIGHT?
Liberal ideas sound awesome on paper. BECAUSE THEY MOSTLY ARE.
And they sound like the kind compassionate ideas. ENLIGHTENED, TOO.
So you let your 35 year old son live with you forever because you’re a good parent. YOU KNOW MY 35-YEAR-OLD SON? TOO BAD FOR YOUR ARGUMENT I DON’T HAVE ONE. JUST TWO INDEPENDENT DAUGHTERS IN THEIR TWENTIES.
You encourage him to take out $50K in student loans to go to graduate school for something he will suck at. Why get married? his pregnant girlfriend can live with you guys anyway. Compassion. and how’s he doing? AND THEY’RE BOTH VERY NICELY EMPLOYED, HAVING GONE TO EXPENSIVE IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS, THANKS FOR ASKING.
If I believe people were intrinsically good, there’d be no need for government. AND IF I CARED WHAT YOU BELIEVE FOR TWO SECONDS, I’D WANT TO SLIT MY THROAT.
Things are great in terms of tech and democracy in more of the world but much of the world is still a sinkhole. OH, NOW THIS IS A CRITIQUE OF PLANET EARTH? HOW JOLLY. I’M GOING TO LOVE THIS.
and places like china are developing economically and are still sinkholes of no real law or justice, just the party rule. they will leave you be if you dont rattle them, rattle them and hoo boy. HOO BOY—IF YOU’RE EVER WONDERING WHEN I DECIDED TO KICK YOUR ASS, GOVERNOR, IT WAS ‘HOO BOY.’
DEFENSE. The only thing that sucks is europe relying on our friggin defense budget. GLAD THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT SUCKS. NO, WAIT, YOU SAY THAT OTHER THINGS SUCK TOO. I’M SO CONFUSED!
Japan, get a nuke! BECAUSE THAT WOULD SOLVE SO MUCH.
I don’t believe little democratic israel is the root of all evil. SO YOU’RE WITH OBAMA ON ISRAEL? COOL.
Its surrounded by sinkholes and gets singled out for everything. ISRAEL IS SINGLED OUT FOR PORK CONSUMPTION? OR BY ‘EVERYTHING,’ DO YOU MEAN ‘SOME THINGS’?
Its nuts. ALMOST AS NUTTY AS YOUR POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS.
750,000 Jews fled arab countries in 48 but the similar number of Palestinians just cant be absorbed by their concerned neighbors. Friggin come on! ARE WE OFF OF LIBERALS COMPLETELY NOW?
I want to help the poor not by imposing rebel group values but by encouraging things that help life the poor up, like having two parents but gee lets not discuss that, ever. HOW DO TWO PARENTS HELP LIFE THE POOR UP?
Low taxes. tax the rich, who doesnt want that? UH, THE RICH?
and we all want education but with teachers unions full of incompetent people who cant ever be fired. I’M NOT SURE EDUCATION WOULD DO YOU MUCH GOOD, ACTUALLY.
I like public schools but why not let parents have a choice if their schools stink, or a choice period (make schools competitive) I dont want to tax the rich. PARENTS DO HAVE A CHOICE—THEY CAN CHOOSE TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO ANY SCHOOL THEY CHOOSE, AFTER THEY’VE PAID TAXES FOR APPROPRIATE SCHOOLS FOR KIDS WHOSE PARENTS CAN’T AFFORD PRIVATE SCHOOL. OH, YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO PAY YOUR TAXES AND THEN EXERCISE THAT CHOICE? YOU ARE WHAT IS KNOWN A CHISELER, THEN.
I want to tax everyone but at much lower rates. WHY DON’T YOU APPLY FOR A JOB RUNNING THE IRS OR ADVISING CONGRESS, THEN? I’M SURE THEY’RE LOOKING FOR BRILLIANT NEW IDEAS.
Everyone is taxed via sales tax so maybe Ill exclude the super poor. THAT’S MIGHTY WHITE OF YOU.
I dont think the flat tax is a dumb idea, its worthy of consideration because it taxes consumption not investment. SAY, COULD YOU START A SEPARATE THREAD ABOUT THIS ONE? I HAVEN’T KICKED ANY FLAT-TAXER BUTT IN A FEW WEEKS.
Our corporate tax rate is sky high relative to other successful countries. UH, CITE?
This is a dud for job creation. WHAT DO YOU CARE? YOU MAKE WELL UNDER $20,000 PER YEAR, JUDGING FROM YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
and why tax people twice? YES, YOU SHOULD PAY TAXES ONLY ONE TIME IN YOUR LIFE AND THEN IT’S ALL OLLY-OXEN-INNISFREE FROM THERE.
I dont even think there should be a cap gains tax. that money was already taxed! WHY DON’T POOR PEOPLE GET TO DEDUCT THE SALES TAX THEY PAY FROM THEIR FEDERAL TAXES? THAT MONEY WAS ALREADY TAXED TOO.
Obamacare is so retarded. PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULDN’T OPEN THE DOOR TO DISCUSSION OF WHAT’S RETARDED.
Its unconstitutional as well. OMG! WAIT UNTIL THE SUPREME COURT LEARNS ABOUT THIS.
Just buy poor people private insurance. It would be alot cheaper than this nutty plan. THAT’S VERY GENEROUS OF YOU. WHERE SHOULD I MAIL THE BILL? (NOT JUST ‘BATSHIT-CRAZYHOUSE’—I NEED TO WHICH WARD OF THE NUTHOUSE YOU’RE IN—THANKS.)
Thanks Bush (with dem congress) and obama for making medicare utterly unmanagable. I’M GLAD YOU INCLUDED THE DEM CONGRESS IN THERE—THOUGHT FOR A SECOND YOU WERE BLAMING BUSH FOR SOMETHING.
Wait till you see what happens to your aging parents or YOU on obamacare. OKAY.
What a coward. NOT LIKE YOU BRAVE INTERNET RANTERS, HUH?
He clearly wanted socialized medicine, why not, as the nike people say, just do it. THERE WAS A LITTLE OPPOSITION IN CONGRESS YOU MIGHT HAVE READ ABOUT—IT WAS IN ALL THE PAPERS.
I think the whole insurance model is nuts. MORE NUTS THAN YOU ARE, OR ABOUT THE SAME?
Young people would do better paying out of pocket and just getting catastrophic insurance. THESE ARE THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO CAN’T AFFORD TO PAY RENT WHOM YOU WERE RANTING ABOUT ABOVE, RIGHT? I’M JUST CHECKING.
it would end up saving them alot of money. The whole insurance system has created middlemen and fraud of the wazoo. AND “FRAUD OF THE WAZOO” IS THE WORST KIND OF FRAUD, I KNOW.
its totally retarded. INSURANCE- catastrophe. Insurance costs $7-15K a year. DON’T MIX ME UP WITH NUMBERS—I’M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ‘INSURANCE’ MINUS ‘CATASTROPHE’ MEANS.
Imagine if you had half of that to pay for office visits! I’D RATHER IMAGINE NO RELIGION—IT’S EASY IF YOU TRY, NOTHING TO LIVE OR DIE FOR—BUT I DIGRESS.
Go out and find someone who doesnt agree with you at all and have lunch. PREFERABLY AT SEPARATE TABLES. OR SEPARATE RESTAURANTS.
Youll be a better man. YOU MISSPELLED ‘BITTER.’
