There is no reason for me to be posting sources to the most basic of things. Some of you have claimed to gone to college, yet you do not seem to realize the profound statement of my post. I read Hobbes and Locke when I was in college earning a degree in Philosophy, and the only thing you have made me realize is that you are profoundly stupid. I know philosophers and you, sir, are no philosopher. I would quote _A Fish Called Wanda_ at you now, but the good people of the SDMB have already done the job for me. Nice work, guys! Keep on fighting the good fight! ---

At least he’s not rambling incoherently about suicide being a virtue and how we are all rapists. Let’s not forget that all women are stupid whores. Just think for a second about how lucky we are. surely you haven’t forgotten him Then again, I’m not so sure that ol’ Justhink didn’t make more sense than this guy. That’s pretty bad ain’t it? I remember O\_o tOo…and many more. At least he’s not as whiny as kputt was. heh None of them are even in the same galaxy as **December**. Plus, when I first read douchebag, it somehow registered as DoucheBoy. 😉 ---

I thought you guys might be interested to note, that he’s pulling the same shit at other forums, under different aliases. Obligatory links: Thread title: Another reason to be Pro-Life. Link: > **[Another reason to be Pro-Life.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=240408)** > > And sorry you can’t get out of this one. Murder, killing so forth, is the act of taking a life. Murder is taking a life illegally. Life is any organism that is cellular and reproduces and consumes a fuel. More or less. This applies to the fetus... Thread title: Another reason to be Pro-Life. Link: [http://teenforums.studentcenter.org/viewtopic.php?t=21228](http://teenforums.studentcenter.org/viewtopic.php?t=21228) While your at the SCN forums, check out his thread on the Mayor of San Francisco defying the law. Note the constant use of vulgarities and attacks when he starts to lose the debate. The guy is an idiot, with no clue what he’s talking about and uses vague generalizations to provide support for his claims. Hence, one of the worst posters ever. ---

He’s not posted since Mar. 11. Still a member, so perhaps he objected to the subscription plan. ---

Also possible that he got tired of the “copy one’s own earlier post/paste/edit ever so slightly” rebuttal tactic, and couldn’t think of a new one. ---

> [@The\_Broken\_Column](#): > > [SNIP] So my statement “Liberals are Hypocrits” stands not only as a truth (subjective), but a fact (objective).[SNIP] After reading through one of the most pathetic dribbles of fake erudition I’ve ever encountered, I now concur that this was a most appropriate pitting. Why argue with this … guy? Inanimate thing? It’s far too intellectually pompous to be a gal, methinks. Or, I should say, it’s the wrong kind of pomposity to be that of a woman. It’s too much of the chest-thumping, behold my prowess, kind of crap. Well, whatever. Such creatures are best left ignored. ---

Well then, you should go and inform them shouldn’t you, or is that just you citing “general knowledge” again? You’ll have to tell me, cuz I’m a stupid idiot. Try not to use too many big words. And triple space it please, it gives my jaw a rest while reading. Thanks butthole.🙂 ---

Man, you all just don’t get it, do you? The reason for the double spacing is to allow room for corrections and comments, just like on your college term papers. He/It is only trying to show you the proper method of posting and trying to be polite and considerate, and you all are just being unkind hippi…hippyc…assholes.
