Hurricane Ditka, Shodan, Octopus, and BigT...

It’s pathetic that you two think you’re deserving of more than the minimum of effort.

Show some gratitude that anyone responds to you imbeciles at all. Lest you wank yourselves into a stupor.

ROFLMAO.

This is the pit so a little bit of this is to be expected but this forum is nowhere near as thoughtful as it was 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago.

As Pit threads go, this is definitely one of them.

Wait. You can do that?

If you truly think it’s a forum of idiots being unintelligent at and parroting each other without a cogent thought in their heads, why are you still here ?

Not if you’re a guy, sadly enough :mad:

The board isn’t quite 100% nutty and delusional leftwing yet.

True - the nutty and delusional rightwing is also represented.

Well that’s obviously an issue, then.

I don’t think it’s a forum on idiots but it is an echo chamber and an inhospitable environment for conservatives or even moderate liberals.

I come her because I frequently see some very good arguments against conservative positions and it helps clarify my more moderate positions. I even get my mind changed sometimes.

For example I have moved to the right on gay rights and to the left on transgender rights.

I have moved to the right on abortion rights and to the left on voting rights.

I have moved to the right on affirmative action and to the left on reparations.

I guess I am just pining for the final years of the Bush administration and the early years of the obama administration when facts had a liberal bias.

… You seem confused, honestly. And I mean that without any partisan animosity. Starting with making a qualitative distinction between gay right and trans rights. I sincerely do not see how one can support one without implicitly supporting the other, or drawing a line in the sand between them that isn’t strictly arbitrary.

Oh, and FUCK YOU (this being the Pit, and since right-wingers are into that whole tradition shit…)

Could you explain this? What gay rights do you oppose, and why?

Assless chaps: I mean even as a symbolic gesture of gay culture it remains a crime of fashion; No one should have that right.

I don’t know why they’re called assless when the guy’s ass is hanging out for all to see.I

I also don’t know where people are coming from calling the SDMB immoderately liberal since I’m a moderate liberal. I think those people are either lying to us or to themselves.

I don’t know why they call them ass-less chaps when all chaps are, by definition, ass-less.

Ok, you say you’re a misogynist but you are a twat sooo…

Anyway I’ll show my love here by reiterating that you’re a twat and generally not a very nice human being.

Have a great day sweetie and try not to be too much of a cunt. Much love!

Never mind, I see Miller scooped me.

I’m very nice and good company too. Next time I’m in the UK we should have tea or lunch. It’d be entertaining.

I’d meet up with you babe.

Sometimes people hide behind an online persona. I’d love to meet you, find out about the real Octopus.

Where you gonna take me.

I quite like Bridge End cafe in Leytonstone or The Fryer Tuck chippy in Mile End. If we’re going to get serious though how about we hit up my manor East London and I’ll take you to my Nan’s house in Tower Hamlets. We can have a proper blaze and a real chat.

Or we can do The Dorchester for supper or The Ritz for afternoon tea.

I’m pretty happy in any place you put me :slight_smile: I’m adaptable.
