Reminder to self…never post about religion, politics or anything that might be considered controversial. Even if it is your right.
Some people can be extremely kind and alternately cruel as well.
Oh, the fucking irony.
You’re unhappy about a bunch of people on a message board responding to your assholic comments, but you’re perfectly happy to shit all over your neighbor’s beliefs? And he’s not even being an ass about it, just put up a sign.
We’re so glad you restrained yourself. :rolleyes:
Shut the fuck up and think before you post this kind of shit. Why the fuck do you think women aren’t running the fucking country? Because of this sort of bullshit opinion from assholes like you. I don’t think this is funny. I think you’re an inconsiderate ass.
Oh, and SensualLips? Think before you post this tripe also. Hate is also a female thing, and women can be as irrational as men. OBVIOUSLY.
Excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall. A hundred years of female rights workers for THIS SHIT.
Get to know the guy first. Admittedly, you know nothing about him, yet you pretend to know all about him simply because of a campaign poster.
If, after knowing something about the guy, you want to slam him, you may not encounter such a hostile response.
Damn, I feel bad now. I thought it was funny. Of course I saw it as a joke and nothing to really get upset about. Oh well, to each his/her own.
That, of course, is because when Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, Indira Ghandi and Benazir Bhutto were running their countries, every thing was peaceful and nice. You have a lot to learn yet.
Haj
OH, bullshit. You got served for your arrogant attitude toward your nieghbor. Ypou can post on religion and politics here to your your heart’s content, but if you post self-serving egotism, expect to get your ass handed to you.
Two words: Lyndie England.
Great galumphing Ghu in gogo boots. Martyr much?
Look, Sensualips made a terribly sexist and idiotic remark. DocCathode responded with a terribly sexist and idiotic remark to point out just how sexist and idiotic the first one was. It’s called hyperbole, and it’s a common and effective rhetorical tactic. I’m sorry your favorite ox is being gored and all, but for fuck’s sake, try to relax a little.
Ooh! I got insulted in the pit. This is only the fifth or so time this has happened to me. I’m torn between the desire to post a detailed explanation of how I was responding to Sensuallips’s actualy idiocy with feigned idiocy of my own, followed by a lenghty explanation of my actuals views on gender, women, stereotypes and discrimination, or just quoting Peter Griffin.
I’ll go with the second.
“Why do women have boobs? So you have something to look at while you talk to 'em.”
Actually, there are religious, political, and controversial threads all over the place. Post all you want!
You’re suffering the backlash (and rightfully so IMHO) from posting something blatantly hypocritical and are feeling hurt by it. (“My neighbor is a dumbass for advertising his extremist political beliefs, so I want to advertise mine by claiming he’s an idiot.”) You admit you know nothing about the guy, “wisely” avoided getting to know him by not welcoming him to your neighborhood, and then boast about wanting to make fun of him for exercising HIS right to express his views.
While there’s no shortage of hypocritical posts on the SDMB, either, there’s always a smackdown following close behind. You made the post because you obviously wanted to hear the opinions of others, and we’re obliging. So read 'em and weep!
EZ
Better reminder - don’t post a stunning display self-admitted ignorance on a messageboard that has the sole purpose of fighting ignorance.
Or my SO’s all-time favorite:
“Women are not people, they are devices built by our Lord Jesus Christ for our entertainment.”
Sensualips is getting the pile-on Aeschines deserved about a week ago for posting a similarly stupid OP.
[How many radical feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?
That’s not funny!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=456070&postcount=12)
I’m really not interested in ripping you a new orifice Sensualips but I think you’re a wee bit confused about how the SDMB operates.
People post controversial subjects all the time.
With that said however, there are no free passes handed out for stupidity.
You’re not being jumped on because you had the temerity to express an opinion that is anti-Bush.
By your own admission, you’d already prejudged your neighbor on the basis of him being an ex-military man without actually bothering to get to know him.
You disagree with his political opinions, which is certainly understandable, but you also made the assumption that he the only reason he was voting for Bush was because he was a “sheep.”
When your own prejudice was pointed out to you, you played the “Wah, wah nobody understands me because I’m so controversial” card.
Can you honestly not see the contraction in your OP?
Man, you guys are just playing right into Sensualips crafty hands. I posit this is going to be the best whoosh we’ve seen in quite sometime.
Right?
Right?!?!
History will look back and tell us who the morons are. I’ll tell you in advance. It’s anyone who voted Bush in 2004
My favorite is Mr. Garrison: “I’m sorry, Wendy, I just don’t trust something that bleeds for five days and doesn’t die.”
Congratulations for accurately reparsing the OP’s mentality.
Get back to me in 30 years. Just watch what happens next.
Wow. I can’t wait!
Seriously, dude. Would it have killed you to use the spoiler tag? I mean, really.
