I just wanted to say, once again, that you, sir (I assume you are a male about 15 years old), are a fucking loon. Assuming you aren’t trolling and intentionally going over the top (and I think at this point this is a safe assumption), your brand of stupid and childish rhetoric is what I’d normally expect from an immature and frankly stupid psudo-liberal with pretentions.
Based on this thread…with some of the more juicy (IMHO) parts snipped out for others enjoyment:
Etc. Now, I’ll be the first person (well, on this board I’d probably need to stand in line come to think of it ) to say that, indeed, the US has its myriad flaws…and that we haven’t exactly covered ourselves in glory in the current dust up in Iraq. But saying, in essence, that the US is pretty much the font of all evil (and in a world where we have the shinning example of Europe to compare and contrast for the last few CENTURIES …let alone places like Japan and China, the Middle East, and Africa for gods sake) is going a bit overboard. Its the kind of stupid and over the top thing I remember guys saying in college when they were trying to show how modern and cultured they were…or to get laid by women who would go for that kind of thingy.
Anyway, I’m sure this thread is not going to get much of a rise…he’s been pitted too many times to excite much notice at this point. I just was reading the thread in question and knew if I said I thought Der was an over the top moron with pretentions I’d get spanked in GD…and rightfully so. So…for the record, its been said (again). Carry on.
Well, i have no interest in trawling through the linked thread, but your quoted examples don’t say anything of the kind.
They are, to be sure, critical of America, and of those who defend it unconditionally, but nowhere do they even hint that America is the “font of all evil.” To tell you the truth, i don’t find the quoted passages at all exceptionable, and they are certainly far from the most controversial things that Der Trihs has said on these boards.
Oh, I know he has. I suppose its more like the level of crap had risen to a certain point, and just wanted to blow off some steam without endangering my membership by saying something stupid in GD.
No doubt you are correct…I’m not very good at this Pit stuff, ken?
I’m gonna have to agree with mhendo here. Your middle quoted example, in particular, is not at all controversial or hard to swallow.
As for the first one, by now anyone who’s been paying attention should realize that one of Der Trihs’s fundamental axioms is that Religion is bad, m’kay? All bad, all the time. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. He comes a lot closer to saying that religion is the font of all evil than that the U.S. is. And I, for one, have learned to expect this anytime religion comes up, and to shrug it off as Der Trihs being Der Trihs.
Its not necessarily the claims, its the generally over the top nature of them that I object too. Perhaps his comments, when taken with stuff he’s said in the past, just set me off. Granted, perhaps they seem innocuous when taken in isolation…I don’t know. Maybe I’m reading more into them than others are. I had just gotten sick of listening to the constant anti-US whining from him and felt it was time for another pitting. My examples seem to be less than compelling though as the concensus seems to be that this time his pitting is undeserved.
He deserves to be Pitted, and often, but these examples really don’t build much of a case. Frankly, I agree with #2 and would agree with #3 if it didn’t use the word “evil.” As others have noted, #1 is just Der Trihs being who he is. Now if you want to dig up some better evidence, then we might have something here.
I’m sure I could dig up some better examples…and I conceed that these aren’t very good ones now, on second thought. His comments much have just struck me wrong…or maybe its a case of a death of a thousand cuts type thing.
If everyone is in agreement that this is a lame ass pitting, then we can let the thread die…or you guys can turn on me like sharks if you like, as I’m the weak one who allowed his blood to spill on the water (that seems to be the way the Pit works ).
So, close it down, hijack it or do whatever you guys like. I just wanted to blow off steam…and I did. Carry on.
For me, Der Trihs is much like the recently (and likewise frequently) Pitted Clothahump: he posts pretty much only to express his displeasure with something, and many, many, many things displease him. You always know exactly what you’re going to get with DT: if you say anything about religion, you’re gonna get five lines about how evil and corrupt religion is. If you post something about the current administration, you’re gonna get five lines about how evil and corrupt the administration is.
I’m presuming from his sheer and deadening repetetiveness that he thinks there must be some non-posting readers out there who have never heard him do his bit before. Otherwise, I can’t claim to have any idea why he posts essentially the same diatribe over and over again. If someone found his schtick lacking the first time, they are unlikely to find it any more compelling the 40th, aren’t they?
I’m completely baffled as to what he thinks he accomplishing here; it seems highly unlikely that he’s accomplished anything at all of substance.
Lastly, I suggest that Pitting him does little more than feed him.
Oh! Hi there, you caught me during some down time. I’m a Der Trihs style American and I’d like to speak on behalf of my nemesis, if I may. When I’m not at church praying to God to smite homosexuals and Europeans or polishing my SUV with a rag soaked in the blood of poor people I sometimes feel that I have it too easy. I mean, destroying the world and teaching my children to hate minorities is fufilling but sometimes life can seem a little hollow without a challenge. Luckily for me and my cabal of fat surburban republicans we know we can always count on Der Trihs to counter our evil plans at all times. That he only seems to work through insane ranting on a moderately sized internet message board might seem a bit unbelievable, but it is true my friends… soooo very true. So keep that do-gooding scalawag around, we need a good chuckle to keep up our stamina as we prop up israel to bring about the second coming. God bless you all.
Once upon a time, there was a boy I’ll call Cody, because that was his name.
Now, when Little Plastic Ninja was a very little ninja, she went to school with Cody. She was not a very popular girl and lots of the other kids in ninja school made fun of her. Cody was one of the most persistent. He followed her around and called her rude names. They were not very imaginative. They were the same every day. But the little ninja’s feelings were gentle, and for a time she was hurt by his words.
There came a day, however, when the little ninja was growing older, that she finally became frustrated. As Cody blathered on she finally spun around and asked him, point blank: “Don’t you have anything better to do with your time than follow me around and say nasty things?”
Cody smiled a broad and happy smile. “No!” he replied.
And the little ninja was overcome with sadness all of a sudden, for she knew this for the truth. He had nothing better to do. He had nothing better to say. He had nothing else.
So she said “That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard” and walked away.
The irony is that Der Trihs would be the first person to condemn anyone for saying anything half as derogatory about any other country as what he says about the United States.
Well, this just isn’t true - he’s a frequent and contributive poster in CS, for instance.
I must say, though, as soon as I read that OP, I thought chowder couldn’t have written a better Der Trihs attractor if one tried. I mean, that OP was just so fucked-up wrong that, even if he’d been trying to restrain himself*, he wouldn’t be able to resist. Funny, that.
Still, I haven’t seen anything wrong in the quoted extracts from DT, beyond the subjectives like “disgust” and “most evil”.
