21-year-old fratboy Superdelegate; the statue of liberty is kaput, democracy is dead

But will they let you use then internet at the nuthouse? Because if they don’t we won’t have to pay you and you’ll be gone.

Score!

We can only hope.

Absolutely phenomenal. This is by far the craziest thing I’ve read in a long time. Thank you for giving me perspective, this Umbrian I’m reading (“iuve krapuvi tre buf fetu arvia ustentu vatuva ferine feitu”) has begun to seem truly comprehensible in comparison.

Seriously, I hope for your sake that you’re a total troll. The alternative, that your posts sincerely express how you’re feeling, makes me deeply sad.

How embarrassing!

I knew what you meant–just giving you some grief.

AFAIK, most (if not all) of your list are things an 18-year-old can legally do.

I can’t really say for sure. It is the shrillness, the jabbering idiocy, and the utter certainty. There are others who get a rise out of me, but this guy is like a screeching chalkboard. Or scat pornography – I have a revulsion toward it. Others might not.

It might be cheaper for me to follow his posting and report his posts that violate the “don’t be a jerk” rule. But then I would have to read all the bullshit, and my goal is to distance myself, not get closer.

But the ignorant, embarrassing California Recall is a great example of why democracy is broken. The average chicken-pluckin’ moron voter out there just plain doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground; it’s that simple. The average person has absolutely no grasp of any of the issues or sociopolitical nuances behind why things are they way they are, so when deregulation causes them to get fleeced, they roar “IMPEACH THAT THERE GRAY DAVIS FELLER AND REPLACE HIM WITH THE MAN FROM THE MOVIES!” When they see a child running for a DNC position, they say “YOU KNOW I JUST SAW SIMON BIRCH ON HOME VIDEO AND YOU KNOW THEY’RE RIGHT WHEN SOMETIMES ‘OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES’ AND STUFF. THAT’S WHO WE WANT!”

There is no hope. None.

And yet, when presented with an example of someone who is genuinely politically aware, motivated, and active, you take this as also being proof that we’re in the End Times of American democracy.

Somehow, I suspect you are not equipped to comprehend the dichotomy this represents.

So, um, you’re against democracy, then.

It’s my understanding that Schwarzenegger, in spite of some setbacks, isn’t generally considered a terrible governor, so maybe it’s good that California elected him.

Go read about Alexander the Great and William Hague.

Oh, absolutely! Was that ever in doubt? I am not pro-Democracy. I think it’s been as big a failure as communism.

No I’m not gonna pony up that kind of money. It’s interesting that you “love” this place where virtually everyone despises you. That pretty much certifies you as a troll.

Maybe we can start some kind of neighborhood thread watch with the aim of getting you banned. More satisfying and much cheaper.

And some well-deserved grief, too. It was an embarrassing typo.
I know that 21 isn’t the minimum age for most of those things. Some of them can be done as young as 14, IIRC, in some states. (With parental permission.) I was more making a list of some of the responsibilities that a 21 yo is expected to be able to handle by the rest of American society.
In a normal thread I’d be embarassed about hijacking the thread to discuss stupid shit like this, but I just can’t make myself care about this one…

To me, TLDR… will always be That Guy. You know, that one guy that you know that gets way too upset about everything, that has no impulse control, the one that has a tendency to go apeshit at every social occasion just because no one will pop him one. At first, he can be annoying, even angering. Sometimes social groups make an effort to ostracize him, which almost never works.

The winning tactic is to see the inherent entertainment value. I mean, really - imagine a guy, at least 25ish, presumably gainfully employed, presumably a legal and mental adult, actually slapping his monitor over a message board. Get a good, clear mental image of him screaming, twitching, and finally giving in to the primal need to express his rage physically. That shit is as funny to me as a meringue pie in the face. It’s got no deeper meaning, no intellectual context, because it doesn’t have any relation to anything that is real in my world - it’s just a guy, furious and out of control, in a place that can’t hurt me, acting like an enraged three year old.

Priceless. :smiley: You can’t pay for belly laughs like that, and I really like laughing.

Really, TLDR…, let’s have butt babies!

I had a snappy quip to make, but the scorn for the OP is coming too fast for me to employ my natural comedic timing.

I am a valued member of every forum on here except for MPSIMS. My Cafe Society threads routinely go for multiple pages. You cannot act as though I’m a troll. You cannot be serious, John McEnroe.

Your pretense is by far the more fanciful.

Seconded. Get the fuck out of here, you willfully ignorant sociopath.

In the future, try actually reading the links you post before pretending to comment on them.

[li]run for all political offices in the US, save the Presidency. (Maybe the Senate, I’m not sure about that)[/li][/QUOTE]

The House requires its members to be at least 25, the Senate at least 30 or 35, the Presidency 35. So yeah, a 21-year-old cannot serve in Congress, period.

Although there have been a couple of cases where the guy who was elected was too young to serve, so they delayed his swearing-in until he could legally do it.

TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW…ah, fuck it. Alpha-bits, I no longer have anything but contempt for you. Do you seriously think that there is no such thing as a responsible, mature, 21-year-old who earned the position that he holds?
