asshat who stole my bike

How sad. It is so confused it actually thinks smearing feces all over this thread is some sort of political statement.

I’ve actually seen a few bikes on the road that are similar to that, just larger wheels. I wondered if they were collapsible. Cool idea.

For my last year and a half at university, I rode this bad baby instead of my bicycle about half the time. The biggest advantage was the thing collapses and I could leave it in the back of the classroom, grab it on the way out, and be on my merry, non-theft-victim way when class was over.

You are a blubbering child.

Grow up.

The OP rant would be better if you modeled it after the Kids in the Hall’s “Open Letter to the Guy Who Stole My Bike Wheel”

“Well, why did you do it? Are you some sort of jerk or something?”

Anyone wanna tell me where the like button is? Terr explained in 7 words. It’s hard to get more concise without losing the message somewhat; “Terr’s a Dipshit” is just 3 words, but doesn’t quite express the same degree of accuracy…

You’re a liberal hypocrite.

So… I’d almost consider putting that spike-in-seat idea into action, but two problems:

  1. I’m not a very proficient engineer
  2. I wouldn’t trust even a very proficient engineer to install a spring-loaded spike aimed at my genitals on something I drive down bumpy roads. Just leaving it out would probably count as cruel and unusual punishment, but if the judge had ever had his bike stolen, he would understand…

Since Terr clearly entered the thread with no other purposes than derailing it, angering everyone, and issuing insults, might I suggest we stop abetting him?

Awww. What fun is that?

Whether Lobohan is Liberal or not most likely depends on the particular issue. As there are very many issues in today’s life, that’s far too complex a question to address, really. Now, your assertion that Lobohan is a hypocrite should be fairly easy to prove if your assertion is true. So, what particular statements of that poster on this board show them to be stating one position and acting contrary to it?

He got me. I’m pro gay marriage. But I’m personally heterosexual married.

I was young. She smelled nice… I’m sorry Dan Savage!!1

Reminds me (don’t ask why, just go with it) of that joke about the incredibly innocent young lady who married a gentleman from Greece.

Don’t you know that altruism is the greatest moral evil(homosexuality is only a minor evil)?

That said, taxation is not criminal, as theft is not criminal:

Unless one wants to claim that only libertarian utopias are free societies, in which case it would be valid to classify Objectivism as a crime in an unfree society. Objectivism is self-refuting.

  • Usually accompanied by claims that communism is not viable due to its contradicting human nature, as the libertarian lacks the theory of mind necessary to acknowledge that others are not as cynical and selfish as they are.

(Bolded for emphasis.)**Terr, **do you understand that this is the nature of the frustration being expressed with your postings in this thread, NOT that they’re all sheltered & hypocritical liberals who “can’t handle the truth”?:confused::smack: If someone stands up at a funeral or during a movie and starts speechifying at the top of his lungs, most people in attendance will be similarly pissed off, regardless of whether the speech is nonsense or the most profound truth ever uttered. Forum, context, time-place-and-manner, whatever you want to call it. You do understand that, right?!

Yes, I know I’m pissing into the wind here. But sometimes the implicit must be made explicit. :wink:

Of course, it being utter nonsense makes it even worse.

Bull. Mother dying is a tragedy. Bike stolen is an inconvenience. The stupidity of trying to compare the two is breathtaking.

Liberals hate their hypocrisy being pointed out. That’s what’s happening here.

Does anyone smell vodka and tears?
