Sorry- brain fart. 
Yes, Daniel, I am pissed at you, but I’m still answering your posts, so I guess it doesn’t apply to me.
In any case, I will tell you why I am pissed at you, as if it will make a difference.
I am pissed because, in the “Questions About Libertarianism” thread, your “arguments,” as they stand, consist of three things:
- A refusal to acknowledge that there are differing classes of force, and that reasonable people could classify some as coercive and others as not;
- Complete non-sequiturs, such as asking me to point out all the Libertarian countries on a map, implying that the fact that something has not been done means it cannot be done;
- Juvenile “Answer that! Can you? Huh? Huh? Huh?” statements.
It has seemed to me that you are obstinately standing in the corner, deliberately not reading a goddamned word I type, while leaning in every few posts to shout, “U-S-A! U-S-A!”
So, yes, I am pissed at you.
Hmmm. This sounds like a strangely effective type of argument. I’ll have to try it sometime.
Beaker: you are sorta OK. (you wanted a CCHEAP compliment, right?)
Silo: yes, you are probably right, unless it is my fault.
PL: we are engaged there in a serious, knock-down dragout debate, where the Libt are also using cheap tricks like semantic loading of definitions for their propaganda value. So, yes, I am engaging in some “dirty infighting” also. So? I am not pissed at you or Libertarian, even tho I dislike your debating tricks. Just because we are argueing, does not mean we can’t respect each other. And I never said there were not different levels of force, just that I am not buying “Gov’t force=BAD”& “Lib’t Force=GOOD”, for the same level of force. But we can do this there. Yes, it is a nasty arguement, but sometimes those can be fun too. Just remember not to take things personal, OK?
Y’know what’s really funny?
I live with my girlfriend, and I have a strange “pet-name” (or term of endearment, for all of you pedantic assholes out there ;)) for her.
I call her “pig”. You know, a cute little pink cartoon piglet? Anyway, that’s what I call her.
So, at least in my case, pig-fucker isn’t an insult. I don’t mind being a pig-fucker.
In fact, I rather enjoy it.
You call your girlfriend a PIG???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Sorry… it’s just… I mean… it’s so…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Well, at least she doesn’t call you booboo. She doesn’t… right?
Please tell me she doesn’t…
No, I don’t call her a pig, I call her simply “pig”.
But you’re right, it’s pretty funny. You should see us in the grocery:
“Hey, pig! Do you want this bread, or this bread?”
“Just get whichever you like, I don’t care.”
People look at us like we’re insane. One day, some whitestem started to yell at me because she couldn’t believe that I spoke to my girlfriend like that.
Chris (that’s my girlfried) was like “Shutup, bitch.”
That was great. One of the many reasons I love her more than an MLT.
Dude, you truly are blessed. I envy you.
OK, if Lex can do it, so can I: I call my SO “snoogies”. What we do for love.
Sorry Lex, apparently I’m being slow today. Whitestem?
grem
Is she a cop?
No, no, grem, you’re not being slow. “Whitestem” is a term I coined for my own personal use. It’s the way I pronounce “WHTSTM”, which is an acronym for
What the
Hell is
That
Supposed
To
Mean?
It’s the term I use for anyone (in my experience it’s usually a woman) who is overly sensitive about an issue, and has a big-ass chip on their shoulder about it. Whitestems usually aren’t too bright, either that or they’re really smart and learned, but get so worked up that they are blinded to reason by the all-consuming rage they are feeling.
It doesn’t matter what the issue is that they are “passionate to the point of fanatacism” about. It’s only that if you even breathe something that remotely sparks the flame of their idiotic rage about some issue–whether or not what you said was even remotely related to said topic, or if your private conversation was any of their business–you are in for a tirade from some zealot. Most likely you won’t even know what they’re talking about.
And no, Silo, she’s not a cop. But I bet she could kick both our asses, at the same time.
[Bill McNeil]Is anyone else really turned on right now?[Bill McNeil]
Actually, I have to disagree about the Whitestem thing, I’ve noticed this just as often amongst men, it’s just usually about different things. I think it’s just a subliminal need to get into some kind of fight.
That’s awesome! Might I borrow that for personal usage? I happen to know several of those people and having a term for them would be extremely helpful.
