I cheerfully accept the possibility of a non-null intersect of the subsets “shit-stirrer” and “sincere”.
Yeah, back to that…
Just an update on, you kno, the topic and all
The kook passing out the little darling fetus dolls claimed to have only given them to children after a parental okay to do so. Umm, apprently not. Multiple people have posted on local area websites and boards. Here are two representative excerpts
From Jeffrey A:
From Kelli S
There are others, but we get the point
Hey, if we take those little fetus dolls and stick some spiky pink hair on thier head we have a very troll like look.
There’s a circular beauty there somewhere at the intersection of trolls, fetus dolls, and extremists.
Huh, regarding the granddaughter in the “Kelli S” account - she’s older than her own uncle.
Ummm, right. Have you ever noticed that, in general, whenever you show up in a thread where I am, the topic kind of veers off on some totally unrelated tangent? I mean, a tangent that is so totally removed from the original topic, as to be in some completely parallel universe? But, anyway, you say you’re not disagreeing with my opinions on ideological grounds but because they are stupid and short-sighted? Well, why are they stupid and short-sighted? Obviously because you disagree with them, but I mean beyond that.
You don’t have to be impressed by anything. I just thought I’d bring to your attention the “shock value” regarding my name, since you apparently seem to believe that “no one cares that I’m a Black conservative (and, yes, I really am)” or that my name is “trollish”. My username has meaning, and it ain’t imagined. I accept your apology, though.
Well, first and foremost, I watch FOX sometimes (yes, I do), I’ve never listened to Rush Limbaugh (I’ve no idea when he even comes on or on what station) and I’m 100% I’ve never voted for Palin in any facet, including for VP (omg i no, rite?). Come on, now. Couldn’t you at the very least come up with some non-common accusations?
But, no, you’re not feeding a troll. Just your average, run of the mill conservative. Only Blacker than what’s normally expected.
Why is it gross?
Edit: Oh, yeah. I’m totally okay with the Tea Party. Rock on, people.
I had not actually noticed this, but so what? Thread topics meander. I have noticed on occasion you saying “stick to the topic” (or some variant) when someone points out flaws in your reasoning, as if they’re being rude or something by pointing out the obvious.
I don’t think I’ve even been shy about explaining my reasoning. In the four threads, certainly, I’m not being coy. I see posts of mine that raise points that were valid then, and remain valid now.
Show me where I said “no one cares.”
Just kidding - of course I never said no one cares. In fact, I specifically used the word “doofi” to describe the people who do care, on the assumption that such people actually exist. I’m not going to bother finding out who they are, though - I just figure their existence is a rational possibility.
In any case, you came on this board with a username that screams “I’ve got a chip on my shoulder - I’m a black conservative, and you liberal pussies can’t handle that, can you? Can you? Huh? They don’t talk about black conservatives in your hippie drum circles, do they? Huh?”
Or something more-or-less to that effect. Heck, if you’d just been “Black Conservative”… big deal. But “[Oh my God], a Black Conservative”, pre-emptively assuming a horrified, shocked, and/or surprised reaction at your mere existence… get over yourself. :rolleyes: Next up, welcome our newest user: “Proud Klansman, and what YOU gonna do about it, fag?”
None was offered or implied, obviously. I stand by my assessment of the intent behind your choice of username.
I don’t care what YOU do in our spare time. My point, obvious to anyone who can read, is that:
- You’re claiming a particular set of beliefs, political stances, etc.
- I don’t know if you actually embrace these beliefs, or are just trolling/faking. It doesn’t really matter either way.
- I do know that there are many Americans who do embrace these beliefs, and in sufficient numbers that they’re having an effect on American politics.
- Refuting you on this board is good and entertaining practice for refuting them.
Well, to the extent that it matters, suuuuure (;)), I’ll take your word for it. Really, I will.[sup]*[/sup]
Abortion Claus: Like Santa, but with much worse presents. You DON’T want to know what he gives the naughty kids…
It’s rural GA, that kinda shit happens.
Well, maybe during their shared 21st birthday celebration, they’ll both get drunk and produce a cousin/great-nephew.
I wish they had these when my kids were young enough to Trick-or-Treat. It would have gone great with their Barbie Abortionist playset.
You don’t know any real-life children, do you? Or are they all already trained in the fundie mindset of not asking questions?
Some more likely reactions from kids at answer 2 would be:
- Why were my eyes shut?
- How come I look different today?
- Where was I? How did I get there?
- Can you show me a picture? Why did that guy give me a doll of how I looked instead of a picture?
- I was made from plastic in China? Waaahhh! sob
Hey, it happens. My daughter and my grand-niece are six months apart in age.
I envision OMGaBC as the pugnacious guy off Family Guy, jumping in at every opportunity with “Yeah, I’m a black conservative, so what, wanna fight about it?”.

See, this is how we know you’re trolling. No one reading this believes you actually need an explanation for why fetuses are gross, or that being conservative could somehow contribute to you being unaware that even things generally Halloween-related avoid using fetuses for gross-out factor.
Maybe if it were a zombie fetus. 
Actually, I was thinking of the Ottifantencomics, where the small (snarky, wise-assed) kid gets a teddy bear while sitting in his play pen (which he calls a prison) and starts talking to him “Hey pal, what’s your name?” Unlike Calvin and Hobbes, the teddy bear doesn’t talk back (“So you’re the silent type. Clever.”), so the kid turns the teddy bear around and finds the tag “Made in Hongkong”* and assumes that’s his name. “Can I call you Honk for short?”
From that moment on, the teddy bear is called “Honk”.
*Yes, the kid can read. It’s a fun comic with snark and satire.
Clearly this stunt was a lame attempt to garner media attention, in the misguided belief that any publicity is good publicity. Wrong, it makes the whole pro life movement look like a bunch of lunatics.
Secondly it was an attempt to impact the pre, ‘age of consciousness’, demographic because, gosh darn, the thinking public are way harder to sway.
Lame and embarrassingly lame, at the same time.
Next year maybe pro choicer’s should hand out little coffins with Ronald Reagan in them. Because, y’know, he’s dead and it’s Halloween!
You have a knack for dragging a topic off-topic, and then engaging in some ridiculous straw man (or just sophistry, in general). If you think me telling you to stick to the topic at hand is wanting to avoid you pointing out the flaws in my reasoning regarding a topic I wasn’t talking about to begin with is trying to avoid the flaws in my reasoning, then I suppose I’m guilty as charged.
Well, it’s already been explained to you my username, and you were given some of the requisite proof leading me to choose my username, and you could easily find more of it on the internet if you so chose to do so (but you won’t, as you have an aversion to looking things up), so your assessment would be wrong. Can’t really help you if you want to ignore a simple fact of life.
…And when was the last time you saw someone express shock and disbelief at a proud Klansman? After all, according to some unnamed persons of certain political leanings, proud Klansmen dominate the South.
Ummm… Right. You’re in for a world of hurt, methinks. Or, I should say, meknows. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you refute anything. Well, unless you deem, “I think therefore I don’t have to defend” is some kind of refutation technique. In fact, I think I’ve only ever seen you look one thing up. Ever. Otherwise, as it usually goes, it’s just me saying something, you saying something, me sourcing my claims and you treating your claims as self-evident. Buuut… We’ve been over this again and again and again and again and again, and I’ve pointed it out just as many time again and again and again and again and again, to no avail, so I suppose I’ll just end up shrugging my shoulders and going about my business.
Well, you don’t have much of any choice, do you?
Indeed, I do.
Not sure. But, for argument’s sake, we’ll say that they are.
-“Because you weren’t able to open them yet.”
-“Because you grew, much the same way you look different today than when you were born.”
-“You were in your mother’s belly until one day, when you were born.”
-1.) “He didn’t give you a picture because he didn’t have a picture of you, but I have one I can show you at home.” or “He didn’t give you a picture because he didn’t have a picture of you and, unfortunately, neither do I.”
-“Yes, and you still are.”
Quite simple and no mention of abortion necessary.
(Oh, yeah. I just a picture of a fetus to my two-year old nephew. He looked at me and asked “What’s that?” and I said a fetus. He then ran off and is busy opening some cabinets or whatever he fancies.)
So someone says fetuses are gross, I ask why it’s gross and the response I get is “Because they are. You’re just trolling if you don’t think so!”. Interesting. Actually, it’s not so much of interesting, as it’s the expected response.
Yup. It’s kinda like asking if water is wet, why rainy days are colder than sunny days, and why beans and farting are linked.
Well, let’s try this. For those of us who don’t find fetuses to be inherently gross, could you explain why they are gross? I don’t think that’s asking too much, to be honest.
