Truly, **Jefferson** , you have a dizzying intellect. You’d think you’d be able to come up with better insults. You need to step it up here if you want to be one of our pet trolls. And we need a scrub to fill in until **Clothahump** gets back from suspension. Prove to us that you deserve to stay in the bigly big leagues before we have to ship you back to Stormfront.

They tend to fall down the stairs, or trip over their own feet. Usually late at night. A lot. And of course, no one ever saw it 🆒

Actually, in the US military, the cowards and bigots don’t generally face such abuse. They’re simply discharged.

When I was in (the '70’s), 1 or 2 still managed to “fall down the stairs”

I joined in 1979 and retired in 2000. In every unit I served, assaults, including “accidents”, were investigated. Contrary to popular culture portrayals, “blanket parties” and the like are rather bad for morale.

No i think he is quite correct, it only takes 12 days to turn a moderate muslin into a terrorist, or a typical WASP home maker, or toss in your human being type here.

About 12 days of careful LSD therapy and maybe some electrocution and sleep deprivation therapy thrown in.

That counts right?  
We could test it on Jefferson?

Just one example, bonehead, the esteemed Times Newspaper had the front page headline a while back, “Hundreds more UK Muslims choose jihad than army”.
