Last May, with a B.A. in history. Indiana University.
No offense intended. I was tired and trying to make a bad joke. Just substitute “accept” for “tolerate”. Hell, put “embrace” there if you want to, I wasn’t trying to make a political statement.
From me? Where are you putting the bar here? Special Olympics pole vault level?
This joke might offend as well. Gotta wrap this stuff up in kitten mittens, folks.
Well, from what I’ve read there are seven or eight people that the police would like to “help with their enquiries” regarding providing assistance to the shooter.
Now, I don’t know the circumstances or the nature of the assistance provided, but if one of your friends came to you and said he’d just shot and killed four police officers for no immediately apparent reason, you’re unlikely to offer him quantities of cash and a phone and offer to take him somewhere quiet to lie low for a while, right?
At least three people appear to have done exactly that for this guy (based on the news stories I have read so far), which I think does lend some weight to Argent’s assertion that not everyone thinks that cop killing is a heinous act which must not be allowed to go unpunished. I’m not saying the people who helped this guy condone or agree with what he did, of course, but the high number of people the police would like to talk to does either suggest a very large, close-knit family, or some misguided friends.
Why has this thread gotten all serious? Hogg! 17th-century armor! Zager & Evans!
It should be noted that astro was criticizing the quality of the joke, not it’s offensiveness. He was just saying I’ve posted funnier and this one fell flat. I agree.
It totally doesn’t work like that. If you’re going to throw Hogg out there, you absolutely have to back it up with some quote or observation featuring testicle sniffing or somesuch.
Dude, this isn’t going to be any fun if you’re going to be all calm, cool and collected about this and keep making reasonable and logical posts.
This is your pitting party. Go wild. Hogg wild even.
MAJOR. LEAGUE. GROANER.
But funny, though
I think every single fucking poster on this board needs to read the above again. That should be the posting style for everybody.
Argent, I frequently disagree with you, but your posts in this thread are an absolute clinic on how to defend yourself. Reasonable, considered, logical, and they also make a point. I, for one, am pretty fucking impressed.
Yes, yes, I didn’t mean astro. I meant **jali **getting offended by your statement about tolerating queer and interracial couples. And now I’m offended by your inability to keep up. Pit thread forthcoming!
Well, I’m offended by your use of “kitten mittens”. Don’t you know that imposing human clothing on our animal friends is abuse? I bet you even declawed the cat just so it wouldn’t rip your precious mittens.
Oh, don’t be silly! Its mittens made from kittens! And just in time for Christmas, too!
I have a pair of bunny slippers, made from real Playboy models shaved pubic hair. They’re a little scratchy.
That just makes it worse. MeanOldLady is binding the mutilated paws of poor innocent kittens with the skins of their fallen brethren. You know who else wore clothing made out of the skin of their own species?
Um…Fred Flintstone?
Now that’s just stupid. Everybody knows that Fred Flinstone wasn’t a Nazi. He was an American. Go read a history book.
I disagree with a lot of his views and the way he expresses them, and I find his macho style abrasive sometimes, but pitting him seems over the top. If I created a pit thread for every poster that I don’t like (not saying I don’t like AT, but I’m not in love with him), I’d never get any work done!
Hush. Playboy models are naturally hairless.
