Some of the more self-righteous members here like to feel superior by showing that they are above personal insults, usually when they have no response for the topic at hand. Pay them no mind.
I am not surprised to see you take that position as you couldn’t keep from doing it yourself in the OP. If you mean by me treating every man, woman and child that walks this world with me, with the respect due a human being regardless of thier race, religion or personal appearance, that I consider myself to be superior to anyone, even you, well, I guess your entitled to your opinion, however childish it may be.
I understand your position here, but you may need to recall that there is generally a vast difference between the random shit people post on an anonymous internet messageboard and what kind of person they really are. This is obviously especially true in this particuar forum where people can kick out the jams and spew whatever floats their boat, which is what I was doing.
I DO loathe Michael Moore, but him being overweight is to me an opportunity for a comical sidebar and ultimately isn’t something I would judge ANY person by (appearances, that is).
Sorry if you didn’t find it amusing or found it offensive to your high-minded sense of decorum.
He’s still a greasy tub of lard, though.
Wee Bairn-san, my skin is pretty damn thick. I generally only frequent messageboards to debate or spew, vicarious thrills I cannot get in real life because I actually have one!
I help run an uncensored Bengals fan site, and shit gets pretty heavy in our “Jesus and Dubya” (yes, it’s really called that) political forum. I am used to taking as well as giving shit.
No matter.
Omegaman needs to watch more Southpark or get out of The Pit.
FoieGras pointed out the difference between calling a famous person a name on a message board and saying something offensive directly to someone, so I’ll leave that one.
Why you yourself have called people names, directly, via this very message board- I’d provide cites if you need them but the fucking search feature is disabled- but I’m sure a man of your faith would admit you’ve done so, and would probably say you did so out of anger and are sorry for doing so. You called 2.5 a snapperhead recently and his crime was merely making a post you don’t agree with! Doesn’t the good book say something about stones and glass houses, or something like that? 2.5 angered you by something he wrote, and you insulted him- Moore angered me by something he did and I called him a name. Hypocrisy, thy name is Omegaman.
FWIW, I find these topic-specific ads at the bottom of every page a bit…creepy.
Start a thread that’s pro-military? Get recruitment links at the bottom of the page.
Start a thread about Michael Moore, get links to Moore’s movies, etc.
Funny.
And why did I call him a snapperhead? Because he was judging people just like you do. It’s not what he wrote but that he hates whole groups of people for the stupidest of reasons. He simply changed from fat people to religious ones. This is why people can’t live with each other because they judge. Michael Moore appears to do what he does because he seeks to expose injustice. Does he? Perhaps. I haven’t spent much time watching his movies but even so, I believe thier to be some truth in what he says. Either way I can’t judge him, certainly not because he is fat and less than well kept. Most of the prostitutes I have spoken to look about the same but inside they are human beings and I’m sure he is too. You’re right about one thing I freely admit that I am with great fault. Me calling people cute little names like snapperhead is only the tip of the iceberg. I have done much worse than that. So now when I see others ridiculing people because of something like thier looks or thier faith I speak out. I do the same thing in real life. You know why? Because it needs to be done. I think if more people stood for what is right this fucking shithole of a world might be a bearable place to live. I’m sure it would at least be better for fat people if not for those who are really in shit deep.
Oh, a Bengals fan. That explains a hell of a lot.
And is there any other way to run a Bengals fan site than uncensored?
I’m not judging him by calling him fat- he annoys me and since I can’t very well do what I would like, which is kick him in the balls, insulting him here is the next best thing. I have many fat friends, by the way. And semantics, but thats an observation, not a judgment. Judgment is you making assumptions about 2.5 from his posts.
In your view, someone does something that you judge to be wrong, its your responsibility to step in and correct them with insults- how about trying to politely show them the error of their ways and maybe try and guide them back on the right path? Insults don’t help any situation my friend, and there is only one judge.
Bogus study. Note the question “Q. 341 Do you or anyone in your household own a handgun, shotgun, rifle or air rifle?” The Kid from Christmas story is now “a gun owning household”? :dubious: :rolleyes:
MM biggest lie was his set up voyage to Cuba where they get great and immediate Medical care. :rolleyes: :dubious: A clear and obvious set-up.
wiki “While tourists can get health care from public clinics on an emergency basis, they are expected to use a fee-for-service health care network called “Servimed” for non-emergency health care needs.” Now, Cuba actually does appear to have a large number of Doctors and clinics, but for long term and high tech care like those 9/11 workers needed? Not so much. Don’t get me wrong, if I needed a few stitches and a shot of antibiotics, you can likely get faster care in Cuba than in a US “free” Emergency room. But that’s not the kind of care those workers needed. Nor would anyone really expect to get into Gitmo like that.
Well I might use an insult here or there but never do I presume to judge a person over their appearance or way of life. Why would I want to waste my time trying to convince you to do the same? Your talking about kicking a man in the balls because he annoyed you. You must be one of those bad-ass mother fuckers I hear so much about. Only seen a few mind you, up close and personal, I generally try to steer clear. I’ve had some really unfortunate encounters with such fellows in my earlier days before I let common sense get the better of me. I’ll tell you what, you can keep hurling insults at people like Mr. Moore and Ms. Winfrey and when I hear you doing it well, if I can scrape up the courage to confront someone of your obvious ferocity, I’ll do so.
I’m pretty fucking far from a badass, merely that a desire to kick him in the crotch was my automatic impulse after watching the film- most badasses don’t kick people in the balls I don’t think, that’s sort of a weinee move- you don’t see Chuch Norris kicking a guy in the balls very often.
But I’m losing you somewhere- where exactly did I say I don’t like Moore becasue he’s fat, or that I base my opinion on him becasue of it? I despise him for his actions, not because he’s corpulent, and thought I made the reasons for my disgust pretty clear here- mocking his ample frame is just a way to vent some steam at a guy who I can’t call on the phone and swear at. 2.5 perhaps did that, not I. I have many fat friends and have had my chubby years myself. I also enjoy the work of Roseanne, John Goodman, and Peter Griffin.
I counsel against it. Such persons as these always find each other, sooner or later. This relieves you of the burden of their presence, and affords the opportunity to bet on the outcome, as well as going through their pockets for change.
Badumcha!

Anything that can be said, has already been said and blown out of proportion.
How can any NFL fan truly point out the mote in the Bengals eye when they ignore the beam in thier own?
Anyway, irrelevant, your honor, even if I brought it up as a means of illustrating a point completely devoid of actual Bengals players transgressions, so help me God.
Jesus Christ…you just won’t let it go as an anachronism, will you?
It was a jestful reference…so what if it was used in conjunction with other derogatory references? The dislike of the person remains constant, while the fatness grows!
I don’t get it…
I am a big fan. It is impossible to get a balanced view in America now. To finally have the other view in the open is refreshing. More power to him . I hope he makes a lot more movies. His head and heart in the right place. He is on the side of the people.
But what about the rest of him?
If his head and heart are in the right place, then that would put his enormous ass and man-boobs in the wrong place, no?
And what about his as yet unaccounted for torso? Wouldn’t that be one way or another, or perhaps “His Blabbines” can command certain parts of his blubberious anatomy to perform different functions simultaneously?
I’m basically a liberal, and I also dislike Michael Moore.
I hated his films even before I saw all the debunking info. He oversimplifies the world’s problems. Everything is due to a handful of corrupt and/or incompetent leaders trying to keep the ordinary man down.
It’s as dumb as blaming obesity solely on McDonalds.
He may as well be saying that your crops failed last season because there are witches in the village.
Sure I know he’s got to dumb it down for most of his audience but he could at least occasionally allude to the fact that sometimes things don’t go right even for clever people with the best of intentions.
But that doesn’t even make any sense. Kind of like the Bengals defense.
I’m a liberal, and I’m a fan of Michael Moore’s movies. I was also a fan of his TV Nation show. I loved the one where they rented a house in a suburban neighborhood, and then engaged in an increasingly troubling array of behavior, like running chainsaws in the garage at night, leaving a splash of red across the garage door, taking a bloody mattress out to the curb, and so on, and then had cop cars show up in the neighborhood one day. Interviewing the neighbors, many of them described the guy as “quiet” and one who “kept to himself.”
I’m always struck by how much more bluster than fact are behind his critics. A few points of concern are inevitably raised that do very little to dent the overall message and import of his movies, so by and large I’m left with the opinion that his critics are full of shit and should more productively spend their time fucking themselves.
