Sorry if you’re tired of hearing that, and I do mean that sincerely. However, it still blows my mind. I’m terribly sorry that your school district failed you so thoroughly, but I suppose that’s what the dope is for, fighting ignorance. P.S. Really didn’t mean to come off as attacking you, and sorry if I did. Still blown away that they don’t teach World War II in the school you went to… P.P.S. My interest really was educational, as in, jeez, are they not teaching this in schools these days? Evidently they aren’t, at least in some places. P.P.P.S. Sorry for the hijack. Back to bickering 😃 ---

In reply to my post: > [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > Man, talk about a colossal fucking disingenuous lie. Fuck you. > > No, this is you being a liar. > > Those are some stupid fucking reasons. > > We were just outnumbered by morons, that’s all. That’s not our fault. I am enlightened and convinced by your reasoned discourse! I swoon at your eloquence! I am transported by the sublimity of your rhetoric! ROFLMAO! You know, it’s amazing. I started visiting the Pit at one point, but I gave it up because you and others just made my blood boil. Now I read the ravings of an utterly impotent bully, and I just smile. You remind me of Gollum after he lost the Ring: “Nassssty, mean, ssssssssssneaky Republicanssssssss! Thief! Thief! Republicanssssssss! We hates them forever! Give us back the preciousssss electionsssssss!” And similar to Gollum, by you (and others) giving in to your basest impulses, you are partly responsible for our victory. I’d say thank you, but that wasn’t your intent, so I won’t. Of course, this is the real world, not LOTR, and the story isn’t finished. You may do something effective for your side, though I doubt it. But you’re finished for now. You finished yourself. This has been fun, but I am finished with you and other bullies like you. ---

> [@rowrrbazzle](#): > > This has been fun, but I am finished with you and other bullies like you. Bullies? Like people who use their noggins and realize that although Sadaam’s torture chambers where places “where thousands of men, women, and children were tortured, raped, and killed.” Our torture (oh, I’m sorry, “assault”) chambers still 1. tortured 2. raped 3. killed Iraqi civilians. Is it the act of a bully to try to force you to stop being wilfully ignorant? If so… give me your lunch money, bitch. ---

Gah! Shouldn’t have written that, my apologies. (but I still want your lunch money) ---
