He couldn’t maintain an erection, and had popsicle sticks taped to either side of his peen, too. ---

> [@WillFarnaby](#): > > No need for the sanctimony, bud. I’m simply a pragmatic individual. I don’t need that noise in my life, so I wouldn’t advise others to put themselves out there. Which is why you’re saying that people should submit to terrorists. You’re saying that your political allies are murderers and that your political opponents should be scared that your political allies will murder them, and thus that your political opponents should not engage in public statements or political activity because your political allies will kill them. In fact you, specifically, are wielding terror tactics and threats in an attempt to enact political change. I believe that that makes you, yourself, the textbook definition of a terrorist. ---

> [@WillFarnaby](#): > > Do you support hate speech legislation? There are many who do. Not a good look for the long haul. Why would hate speech legislation necessarily be bad? For the record, I’m not saying I’m an advocate of hate speech legislation, but many of the hate speech laws enjoy widespread support in countries that are still otherwise democratic. Hate speech legislation hasn’t necessarily led to a rise in authoritarianism. Conversely, protecting extreme forms of speech hasn’t prevented the United States from sliding toward a creeping form of authoritarianism. Instead it has engendered antipathy that has only further polarized our social and political cultures. ---

No idea but under Cole’s Law, it’s illegal to do that to cabbages. ---

Yes. The text is DO YOU WANT KARATE? There was a poster (since banned) who loved talking about his exploits as a stone-cold badass which included him giving someone a “karate stare”. I liked the phrase so much that I created that avatar for another board. At this size, though, it’s pretty much unidentifiable. Back to the drawing board. ---
