There are valid reasons to object to the current protests happening around the nation. Why, then, do you choose the stupidest possible one? ---

> [@George\_Kaplin](#): > > Let’s cut to the chase: Do you think “The Man” (ie. the Fed, the government, the ratings agencies, Goldman Sachs etc..) actually did anything wrong, either ethically or legally? I think there was a whole lot of wrong going on. I don’t think we should have bailed out companies that failed just so they could go back to business as usual. I wish more people went to jail. Madoff was almost too easy. He was an island of crookery. For me, the proper place for any protest is in Washington, putting regulations in place to prevent them from gaming the system again. But no, these idiots think Obama is their savior. They don’t know what the hell they’re doing. The important thing “solidarity”, to feel part of something, if if they have no friggin idea what they want. Taking everyone’s grievance and adding it up does not equal having one specific gripe and going after that. ---

Poor Magellan. He’s so upset all the time. Can you blame him though, what with all the gays diluting definitions everywhere. ---

I’m kind of embarrassed on behalf of conservatives for **magellan** ’s behavior in this thread.(\*) Dude, freaking out and going into some kind of hysterical frenzy about unwashed hippies is not helping your credibility at all. (\*)No, I’m not. ---

You made the point that you’re a hateful fucking scumbag years ago, and you’ve continued to make it with the majority of your posts. Though congrats on this thread, where you somehow manage to come off like more of an idiot than both the “filthy hippies” you decry _and_ the Tea Partiers you masturbate to. ---

> [@Lobohan](#): > > It might seem weird that he’s laughing with his ass, but if you listen to him talk for a while it sort of makes sense. There’s so much wrong with this. So many things that would make it actually make more sense. Come one man, surely you can do better than that. Yes, even you. Pathetic. ---

A nice subtle insult is when I call you Magellan, showing disregard for how you spell your handle. It’s like oil poured across ice, subtle and smooth… Lobotomy Boy sounds like a bunch of wire hangars thrown across a kitchen. In any case, I’ve got weekly RPG to attend. So I’ll be back later. \<3 ---

Let me hop in my time machine and go back and cry at all the use of this most devastating of insults. You learned me good, Lobotomy Boy. You certainly did. “Magellan”… Man that cuts like a knife!
