I forget what the OP started this threat about. Oh, yea; police abuse of authority. Boy, was THAT guy off-base. That’s hardly ever in the news. ---

One would suppose. You have insulted Helen Keller and The Little League. And that’s it, coach. My experience with coaches is they are queer for size and seldom recognize talent. They start those players who laugh at their bad jokes. Yea, you’re probably a coach, alright. RUN YOU GUYS ! Tough job. Hit the fuckin’ showers. And don’t join them there, btw. That’s frowned-upon. ---

What a bunch of pompous asses. This should be called The Warped Dope’s site. All any of you can manage to do is attack me, ad hominem, and avoid addressing every fucking point I submit. I can’t tell whether you are all that stupid or if you just ain’t got the guts. Both, is the only conclusion I can find. Now, do you guys (and ladies) wanna’ discuss the issues or lob insults ? I can do both; so far, the other members can (or will) only do the former. I thought smart people belonged at this joint. I have yet to encounter any. Coach, get some sleep. Morgy, stop trying to prove that Germans are funny. German-Americans are capable of humor. But they didn’t bring that over from the old country. They learned humor in America; and mostly from Jews, like the rest of us. The Irish are funny, too. You people really disappoint me. I expected better. ---

Police overreach has been my main theme since joining this enlightened assembly.

Cops are overly aggressive and are becoming more so. Should this be in the comics section ? > [@tomndebb](#): > > Nope. The BBQ Pit. > > You think cops are too aggressive. OK. That is not an argument or a discussion. > > It might have gone in IMHO, (since you are only asking for opinions, not facts and logic), but with the hostility of the OP, it is going into The BBQ Pit. > > [/Moderating] Man makes hostile posts then complains of being attacked after said posts gets his thread moved to the Pit.

> [@common\_good](#): > > Yea, “sir” was insincere. Maybe asshole is more honest. Again, not one thing you guess-at is correct. Let me repeat: I don’t date, anymore, BY CHOICE. MINE, Sigmund. I doubt you could analize the workings of a mouse-trap, judging by your effort thus far. But, keep trying; I’ll let you know if you ever get something right. Where’d you study Psychology ? Bob Jones University ? “guess-at” ? Where did you study grammar, cupcake? Additionally, many people spell the word “analyze”. To quote The Perfect Master, " Girls don’t get intimate with boys who’re illiterate". Bob Jones University offers these [Undergraduate fields of study](http://www.bju.edu/academics/programs/), and these [Graduate fields of study](http://www.bju.edu/academics/graduate-programs/). An educated man might have at least chosen a college or university that _offers_ Psychology when slighting me. I’m fascinated that you could not be bothered to find one. 🙂 ---
