So it was we hippies who got the US out of Vietnam? Woo-hoo! See I told you it could work, smoking pot and pushing flowers into gun-muzzles, never fails. I’d like to draw your attention to [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=3171876#post3171876), which only makes me want to ask: what was the date that we peaceniks were to be allowed to gloat over the abject failure to uncover WMDs or some just cause of war? I only ask, because there’re some hawks who promised to suck my dick, and my balls are more swolen than David Blaine’s after 40 days in a fish-tank. I sure hope I didn’t miss it. **Milum** , am I too late to join your list, it would compensate in some very small way for your grotesque dumbfuckery and me having to share the same air as you? ---

I would also reeeally like to join Milum’s list, as I have seen from this thread that he is an incredible idiot/troll. I wonder if anyone agrees with/likes him… To quote from someone, maybe in this thread: “I am honored to be on his list of enemies.” ---

I’m not honored; I just don’t want to give him the delusion that there’s a small chance I support his nutjob views. ---

I certainly haven’t sent any e-mails and I don’t give a damn one way or the other about your silly lists/games. Nonetheless, it is fascinating to see how (a) as a general proposition, people respond to lists and (b) how some feel the need to be included. I know find myself wondering at the marketing power of having a mailing list and how that chimes with this human need for inclusion. Quite interesting psychology, hadn’t considered it before. I’ll continue to mull this one over . . . great way to generate attention. But you know all about that particular game don’t ya **Milum**. Attention is your game. ---

Attention may be his game, but does he have to use the delusional ruleset in order to play it? ---

Oooops, false alarm, **Milum** was bullshitting. Put **London Calling** back on the list. (Not the “Straight to the Wall Come the Revolution” list. The _other_ list. Not to worry.) ---

He’s making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out . . . actually, I’m shooting for inclusion on the anti-list list. See, that one’s the ‘A’ list round here. You don’t even know about that one, do ya ? Dear, dear, dear . . . not on Milum’s list, don’t know about the ‘A’ list; feel out in the cold yet, **'luci** , feeling it’s happening without you, not ‘in’ with the list crowd, sense your SD social cred slipping down the crapper ? Tut tut, maybe I can help you out a little. Milum and I are buddies, see. Maybe I can arrange something . . . ---

Gee, **Werewolf of London** , thanks awfully. Got any cast off clothes from leprosariums, by any chance? A cousin with a wide varitey of STD’s you could fix me up with? Give me time to consider the appropriate response to your characteristicly generous offer. ---

Cheer up, **wring**. I’m sure you’ll get listed soon enough. _searching precarious heaps of decade-old newspapers to find “Straight to the Wall Come the Revolution” list…_ Oh, and I can’t resist sharing another [fortune cookie](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=219622&pagenumber=2)from **Milum** : > [@](#): > > \*\* > Left and right, Liberal and Conservative, seem to be trans-cultural labels that effectively identify two distinct postures of political belief systems. Why two? Why trans- cultural? One wonders. > > Perhaps the political propensities are innate in individuals of our kind. Yeah, like the million years of distinct social roles that evolution required of the male and female. Men hunt, women raise children. Men fight and protect, women care for the old and nurture the young. Sexual selection and social conditioning of these necessary traits brought about two very different world views. > Two parts of a whole that was needed in order to continue in time as human beings. > > There are many fundamental attitudes embodied in these two seperate but complementary philosophies. Most are obvious. > Male = cognition > Female = feelings > > Today in our sexless society the politics of individuals gravitate towards one or the other of these two poles of beliefs. > Female =left = Liberal > Male = right = Conservative > > Today the new left’s penchant for condeming the Israelis for being mean hearted, along with their attendant feelings of thoughtless compassion for the homeless and helpless Palestinians without consideration of future consequenties demostrates the Left’s inability to properly abstract from reality and reveals the female origin of their beliefs. > > And yet today (at least in the states) only slightly more females than men are Liberals and only slightly more men identify themselves as Conservatives. Strange. > \*\* So that’s the problem with liberals- they can’t “abstract from reality,” just like those awful retarded women. Let’s here it for **milum** - what a class act! ---
