She will most likely be as confused as the rest of us.

Well, let me clarify for anybody who gives a shit. I consider Czarcasm to be mendacious. I’m weary of his hall monitor act. I’m weary of him oozing slime all over gun threads and then putting a hand to his cheek and wondering “why does everybody say I am anti-gun?”  
Fuck him. There’s about a million overtly anti members here who I respect more. **Boyo jim** and \*\*foolsguinea \*\*rate higher than **czarcasm** when it comes to honesty and trustworthiness.

I’m now picturing Scumpup sitting drunk and alone, laughing maniacally to no one. It’s not a pretty picture.

Quick, before he gets banned or something, I need to register my vote that this OP sucks balls, that it is a GREAT career move for **Czarcasm** to get pitted by such a weak-assed clownish bozo ( **Czar** , can you just FEEEEEL the love? Isn’t it beautiful?), and that I think it’s possible to be anti-gun (whatever that means) most of the time but to allow exceptions for certain idiots who just need to get their brains blowed out now and then. Personally, I do NOT want all handguns confiscated because I think the best thing for society would be to have certain gun-fetishists realize how tasty the barrels of their own guns might be, thus solving two problems with one bullet. The best thing a potential mass-murderer could do would be to take one for the team, so if you’re a gun-owner who feels there is a chance that you might someday turn your weapon on an elementary school, theater, Cub Scout troop, etc., please turn it on yourself first and do us all a favor.

Truer words were never spoken. Man, posting while drunk brings back some bad memories…generally the next day, after I’ve read what I wrote while smashed. :eek:

Then pit him for his “slime-oozing”, his “mendacity”, or his “hall monitoring” of gun threads (yes, those were scare quotes). I think I debunked the title of your pitting quite thoroughly in post #27, a thread in which you participated, I might add.

What he might be is “Anti-Scumpup-having-a-gun”, a sentiment that I’m starting to find understandable based on this thread.

Bong hits are safer. You get up a good head of steam, start snapping those keys Take That! and That! Pow! Smack! and then you notice your hands, which you really never looked at before now, not _really_ looked and…wait…what?..

I’m picturing Giraffe alone…and I guess just alone. S/he has more free time to post to the internet than anybody I know in real life with a job and/or a spouse.

As a comparison, last night I was higher than giraffe pussy (as hey say around here) and posted a happy if unintelligible thread. Post high not drunk, I say.

Scumpup would be a good fandom nickname for Scrappy-Doo.
