Oh, so from the beginning you wanted to bet on something completely irrelevant?
Huh. Not sure why you think that makes you less stupid.
Really? I mean really?! Christ, that’s a bad post.
True. Fred Phelps brings lots of attention to his cause. But do you think he’s ever won over a single convert?
A better role model would be somebody like Martin Luther King. He realized it wasn’t just about bringing attention to the cause. You also had to convince people to support you in your cause.
It’s a bad strategy to bring attention to your cause if all you do with it is convince people to join the other side.
I thought it was an above-average magellan contribution, actually.
You said “millions were dying”. In the three decades since the AIDS crisis, less than one million Americans have died. Way less.
Your bumper-sticker statistics suck.
Why do you get away with your insults the way you do? Do you wear some kind of speshul hat?
This is the Pit. It’s allowed here.
Oh, eff. :smack:
What the hell are you talking about, you thunderously stupid thing? Look what forum you’re in.
Nothing makes your knee jerk faster than seeing someone homophobic get insulted, does it? Over and over in the wedding photography thread with your endless whining about the poor, put-upon marriage equality opponents, and now here with this imbecile. What is with you?
Mister nyx, surely you remember your special hat. It protects your head from the bad things. You wore it in Mz. Jenkin’s classroom after you started getting the owies from banging your head against the desk. The hat keeps you from having the owies. You don’t want the owies, do you?
You like your special hat. Remember when you took the training wheels off of your bicycle? It was a Schwinn. A shiny blue one. You were nineteen years old. And you rode that bicycle down the whole street! Yes you did. We were all so proud.
But remember the tree? You named it “Boo Radley”. Well that tree jumped out and grabbed you, didn’t it? It was pretty good that you were wearing your speciial hat.
:rolleyes:
This helps contextualize your earlier contributions to this thread.
Yeah, I see this as a lot more :rolleyes: than outrageous. Immature knuckleheads go out of their when when accepting a WH honor to be… immature knuckleheads. Ooooh… they flipped off Reagan. How edgy!!
John, regardless of your politics, would use your one opportunity at the White House for a facebook photo? Would you be such a jackass that the POTUS himself has to mention you to the press?
If so, I think I can find another “special helmet” for you.
On reflection, it wasn’t the POTUS himself - it was his underlings: “The White House rebukes”. But still, is that something you would want to do, John? Would you be the guy that is “rebuked” by the White House in the national press?
I’d use it for a SDMB avatar 
Jesus, I scrolled down quickly and saw Mister Nyx post and thought, “he’s gonna get a mod note for altering text in a quote box.” Then I looked up and saw that that was Magellan’s actual post!
:smack:
Only after you challenged it, genius.
No I didn’t. I never challenged that point at all. I didn’t say that the idiots in the anti-marriage-equality movement weren’t stupid enough to try to make hay out of a non-issue. I know exactly how dumb they are. I’m sure they’ll continue flailing like idiots and that this will lead to another campaign just as successful as their campaign against Starbucks.
Anyway, don’t get so defensive. I want to thank you. You and A Monkey With a Gun have done more than any amount of argument from me ever could to illustrate that I’m right. Because just look how fucking stupid the people are who are fussing about this non-issue.
Right about what, exactly? Are you still holding the position that these two idiots are not douchebags?
That’s really all I was ever arguing. The two went to the White House, wasted the opportunity to make a facebook status, and got rebuked by the White House for showing disrespect.
Is that what you would have done in their shoes?
I still hold the position that I don’t give half a shit about something so trivial and unimportant, and magellan01’s and your performances in this thread have helped reassure me that I’m exactly right. Your “retard joke” demonstrates that you are either 10 years old or have the same mentality as a kid that age, which goes a long way to explain your complete lack of perspective. Your fellow in the ‘debate’, magellan01 – well, I don’t think I even need to point out his abject idiocy again.
So I either join you in being melodramatically offended about a non-issue, or else I would have done exactly the same thing? Yeah, I shouldn’t be surprised. The black-and-white, all-middles-excluded thing goes along with being 10 years old.
