As a controlled experiment I used the SDMB Search facility to find Der Trihs’ 100th most recent post, 200th, 300th, 400th and 500th. Here they are: > [@Why does evolution "look" so directed?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-does-evolution-look-so-directed/671280/6): > > Pretty much what I was going to say; human evolution looks somewhat directional due to hominid species largely being failures. If one looks at a more _successful_ family of species like felines or canines, you see an evolutionary bush, with many branches leading to many species; not a ladder leading to a single species at the top of it. > [@The "Existence of God" debate](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-existence-of-god-debate/669664/32): > > That’s a silly comparison. Science is based on evidence and reason, not faith and irrationality like religion; science and religion are opposites. Nor does science have any “sacrosanct theories”; on the contrary, there’s nothing any ambitious scientist would like more than to tear down some well known or important theory - it would make his or her name in scientific history. > > Which is normal for religions; Christianity stole a great deal from other religions as well. > > All the other things that propel warriors, I expect. > > No; they are strongly influenced by outside forces. And religion is a powerful force for corruption, both moral and intellectual. > > It’s an acknowledgement of history. Christianity got to its present position through bloodshed, terror and destruction. All of its benevolent claims have throughout history overwhelmingly been empty rhetoric. > [@Astral travel? Is it real?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/astral-travel-is-it-real/668565/40): > > Well, _naturally._ If their astral form _had_ been consumed by a soul devouring eldritch horror they wouldn’t wake up to report it, now would they?! > [@Considering Marvel Heroes and/or Neverwinter](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/considering-marvel-heroes-and-or-neverwinter/667056/12): > > That’s one thing I liked about City of Heroes; you could have any costume you liked regardless of your Enhancements (CoH’s equivalent of gear). It was actually quite rare to see two people who looked alike. > [@IOKIADDI (It's OK If A Democrat Does It)?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/iokiaddi-its-ok-if-a-democrat-does-it/666622/3): > > The media is strongly pro-Republican. The anti-religious screed is one-sided, but by and large these posts seem intelligent and non-hijacking. Do those defending **cornopean** ’s posts as no stupider than Der Trihs’ have the stomach to do this experiment on him? The final DT quote was from a GD threat titled “_IOKIADDI (It’s OK If A Democrat Does It)?_” I noted that I posted almost immediately after DT in that thread. If you must concatenate a non-rightwinger to this thread, let it be me: > [@IOKIADDI (It's OK If A Democrat Does It)?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/iokiaddi-its-ok-if-a-democrat-does-it/666622/5): > > I give the liberal media at least a little credit – they were pretty unanimous in condemning Clinton for his rape of that pre-teen Monica. But, despite the hundreds of millions spent bringing him to justice, the liberals in Congress didn’t even convict. :mad: Wouldn’t you know? Worried about their own Wieners I’ll bet. 😛 > > And then – wouldn’t you know? – some liberals had the audacity to chastise GWB for his humanitarian efforts. The Iraq War cost _less than_ a million lives and _less than_ 2 trillion dollars, but you’d think it was as big a deal as the semen-stained dress to hear some extremists prattle. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cornopean-conservatives-are-not-oppressed/671989)._
