It tells you something when a racist scumbag can’t even spell “racist.” ---

Scumbag I am curious as to your point behind all of this. I can safely say that there isn’t a single thing you could post or type or plagiarize that is going to sway anyone (except maybe one of your own alter-egos) to your beliefs. Is it because you are desparate for attention? Were you so neglected as a child that all you want is someone to point at what you have done and say “Hey, what a maroon!” and then you can get your jollies because you see your name on the screen? If so, as long as you stay here and post this tripe, then you will certainly start some threads that basically involve people mocking you and laughing at you. If that is what it takes for you to feel noticed, then you lead a pretty sad and shallow life. Give it up, go away and keep your thoughts to yourself. This is the final thread I reply in with your name as the originator. At this point, I hope everyone else does the same. * * * Well, shut my mouth. It’s also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling. ---

Um…isn’t this the sort of copyright violation that leads to posts being pulled? ---

Well, schmuck, if’n ya wanna _keep_ pissing us off, ya might try just posting links to these articles and essays you’re so fond of, instead of copying the whole thing. You’ll be less likely to be banned. * * * “…being normal is not necessarily a virtue. It rather denotes a lack of courage.” ---
