[QUOTE=elelle] In the case for equality, Kick in the cunt would equal a kick in the balls, I’d think. And, so, if you were reading the OP thread and saw **lissener** saying, '“Of course, I kicked that idiot in the balls”, what would be your response? Too much for a customer who asked the wrong question? Sorry, it really seems too mean and stupid, not funny at all, with a mind that is very open-ended, black-humored, and wide margined. I was hoping someone could tell me why it was really funny, but, guess it’ll have to wait. [/QUOTE] Well I did not find it funny, but I also did not assume he actually kicked and therefore just consider statements like that hyperbole. I don’t get too upset by the use of off-colored words, though I try not to use them, especially in writing. However the phrase does seem basically the female version of a more commonly used phrase of wanting to hurt someone badly. ---

> [@Q.E.D.](#): > > No, of course not. But, it kinda makes you a hypocrite, no? Er, no. If I called that Phelps guy a gay-basher or gay-hater, I wouldn’t expect to be called that myself since I haven’t given any indication that I have any of those tendencies. If someone did call me that, I’d want some type of evidence of their claim since I don’t think any exists. > [@lissener](#): > > You mean this much entertainment is free? I love this country. No way, dude. You pay $14.95 like the rest of us. [QUOTE=lissener] Fine. Reread the OP with the phrase “decapitated her on a bus” inserted in place of “punched her in the cunt.” [/QUOTE] OK, fine. But did you carry her head around under your arm? Cause that would REALLY be sick. 😛 ---

[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] How am I a hypocrite here? Explain slowly; bear in mind I’m not a highly-educated professional video-store clerk like yourself. [/QUOTE] What a fucking asshole you are, using his job as an insult. lissener is a better person than 10 of you, even if you have a fucking PH.D. He’s smart, funny, talented in more ways than you could ever hope to be and has great taste in music and movies (except for the ones he doesn’t like that I like, then he sucks). You’re a dick to imply that what he does for a living makes him a lesser person, just because he’s not interested in having a stressful but oh-so-impressive to dicks like you “fast-track” career. And he did go to college, so fuck off. God I hate that. You share anything personal on the Dope and god forbid you get into a flame war with someone. They’ll sure as shit bring stuff up to insult you. ---

If anyone ever tells me that stupid can’t be funny, I am sending them right to this thread. You are a truly stupid human, GED. But mean, too, which precludes the pity I would usually feel for someone as horribly ungifted as you; it makes you even funnier. ---
