You mean you weren’t saying he was in love with a Muslim cleric? :smack:
He isn’t licked. I mean, I agree with him. Maybe not every post, but definitely the main idea. Just sayin’, so people don’t get the idea that he’s the only one.
Here’s what I think:
Making fun of someone’s physical appearance, especially for something they can’t control, is stupid. It is irrelevant and inane. It actually detracts from your rant. Your rant would have been better without it.
I think I know people like you. I think you are like my brother and his friends. They make fun of people’s appearances, and after a while it just gets tedious.
Sometimes people have a legitimate gripe (like your OP), and the side remark about appearances just distracts a little (it never really adds that little punch you were hoping for, though, does it?). However, it eventually seeps into the realm of normal discourse, and after a while comments about physical appearances don’t need to be justified by a legitimate gripe. Eventually, you get desensitized to the general idiocy of it.
I know many will find this argument some kind of Godwinization, but I think it is valid: Would you have made fun of the person’s physical appearance if it was skin color instead of spine shape?
If anyone thinks I am putting on airs or trying to feel morally superior, alls I can say is that me and people I know (except my brother) really, honestly don’t make fun of people for physical appearances. Not even as a side remark. But that would be an ad hominem, and I would trust you fine folks not to fall into that trap.
Oh, and nothing that comes after the comma can justify this statement:
I don’t mean to imply that you are an asshole, Winston, and I imagine you are probably a generally good guy blowing off steam, but consider that your discourse does influence your thoughts, and so the side-remarks about appearances and the verbal dehumanizing should probably be left out of an otherwise valid rant.
I doubt it.
As to the rest: :rolleyes:
I misspelled a word. You misspelled at least two in your OP. Does that make you a dissembler?
That’s it in a nut shell. I say “hunchback” and you are compelled to add “filthy, disease-ridden drunken” to it. You seem incapable of separating his behavior from his deformity.
(Psst. *Insistence. * Ornamental. Glad I could help.) I never used the word “monster,” much less insisted on it. You and **Bubba **need to back off the schnapps so early in the day.
Unless you are suggesting that no one is ever above criticism, I have no idea what point you and your heartthrob **Sapo **are on about. You’ve flung quite a few my way yourself. Do you consider yourself pristine? You started this brouhaha by flinging stones willy nilly at the town drunk, whatever the fuck that is. If you want a bunch of hugs and kisses whenever life screws you over so badly, may I suggest MPSIMS?
For his sake, I hope you’re right.
