No, I am not a masochist Smartmouth. Apparently “moronic” means “in disagreement with you” and “reason” means “agreement with you,” according to all of your replies so far. Besides, when I had my first contact with the Witnesses–it was late 1970, four months after I became 21-- my drunkard stepfather told me, in a vile manner, how he hated the Witnesses. This gave me a basis for what to think of other people who say such things, and you fit the pattern perfectly. You give me no reason to conclude other than that others who say what he did are just as repulsive, including in abstract ways. ---

Well, while we’re waiting, any good restaurants in the South Bay? Cause we are really tired of the ones we’ve been going to. Could use some new ones in the rotation. And what’s the format on this debate thing. Is it like the Democratic debate, or more like the Republican one where they just yell at each other? Will there be, at any point, a cage fight or wrestling, so that God may demonstrate his truth through his champion? That would be compelling, but I think it went out favor with the Middle Ages. Shame. ---

Eh! I once absented myself from the SDMB for more than a month out of disgust. I am no stranger to examples of boorish, impudent behavior, mostly from my older brother, but also from others my own age until I finished school. I needed no further convincing that I was right to remain a loner. > I am not impressed with the lot of you: You have merely painted the lily as far as I am concerned. You’re completely batshit, you know that? If you hate it here so much, why do continue to post here? You spew out insults, but as soon as people throw them back at you, you flip out and act like a martyr. Dude, either grow a thicker skin or shut the fuck up. If you can’t walk the walk, don’t talk the talk. (And if I remember right, you once made a thread claiming that atheists were happy when some Witnesses were murdered while going door to door. I’ll see if I can’t find the thread) ---

> [@ddsun](#): > > Well, while we’re waiting, any good restaurants in the South Bay? Cause we are really tired of the ones we’ve been going to. Could use some new ones in the rotation. I pimped my favorite in post 112. Also The Local Place for more Hawaiian food\*, but mostly for their amazing pastries - Husband and I fight over their walnut rolls, I adore their Banana Supreme, and the Dobash cake is a moist chocolatey thing of joy. They’re a quick-service version of the King’s Hawaiian restaurant, so of course the baked goods are superb. Seriously, it’s a coin toss between their pastries and Portos’, they’re that good. Oh! And Josie’s Taco Stand advertises the best chicken tacos in town, and they do not disappoint. \*Though avoid their spam musubi, it’s just disappointing. ---
