Putting you on my ignore list is much easier. If you think I waste time thinking about you, you’re wrong. I do chuckle to myself every time I see a post of yours that is hidden, and I am grateful that the powers that be provide such a feature on this board.

I am. I’m pointing out that you’re going to a great deal of trouble to point out very small issues with the OP, and to deflect from the moronic content of the post under discussion. It’s weak, I admit, and you’ve made that point several times now. We understand that you don’t care for the Pitting. Now will you kindly do me the courtesy of shutting your fucking pie hole?

I suspect your response will be somewhat negative, which will make me think your agenda is is something other than registering your disapointment with the strength of this pitting. Fuck off, like a good fellow, would you, please?

Oh, forgot to add: Bub.

No it doesn’t. I haven’t read the other thread and perhaps my response would be better placed in there, but no. Never in my life have I heard anyone advocate that the reason we should release people from prison is because the crime rate is low. I’ve heard arguments about a lack of funding to prisons or an overcrowding of prisons or that laws that have been broken shouldn’t have been illegal in the first place. But not that. As if the crime rate is some quota where we’re trying to get the optimum percentage from society or that crime rates and the criminals who are locked up for those crimes aren’t connected in any way.

But how do you know what I typed out if you can’t see my posts? Wouldn’t that mean they’re not hidden?

This pitting is fucking weak.

And the part I bolded in the quote above is one of the stupidest things I’ve heard.

Mostly I just think of the most inane bullshit I can come up with and superimpose your username on top of the quote I just made up, 9 times out of 10 I am spot on.

The real tragedy of **Omg a Black Conservative** isn’t his bone-headed extremist political views, it is that he manages to make his far-right wing views positively BORING.

**Clothahump** is a cartoon of a knuckle-dragging conservative. **Carol Stream** made Fox News look like the New Yorker. **susanann** is simply divorced from this plane of existence.

But **Omg a Black Conservative**? Yawn. Reading his posts is like watching a tired insult comedian play an off-Strip Vegas casino for his 34th consecutive year: he’s just phoning it in. We’re all expecting more from you, **Omg** , so try to amp up the crazy a little bit.

You could superimpose my name of the stuff you write out instead. Though, I’d be insulted if you did.

(I still think it odd that you, apparently, hid my posts yet can still see them and are responding to them :P. Makes sense if you don’t think about it too hard.)

Ehhh, no thank you. I’ll leave the crazy to the lefties who think everyone but them is crazy.

Exactly. Every time he posts something, it’s like a split second of “Wha?” followed by “Eh, whatever.” He’s not even worth mocking .

John Mace is right.

To say I disagree with **OMBaBC** about the EPA is an understatement, but the thread title and OP is horribly misleading. I read the thread title and prepared to rattle off examples of how local agencies are free to impose stricter rules than the EPA. Thinking it was new material from my latest read of the EPA thread, I looked at the comment cited by the OP, and it doesn’t say anything about municipalities regulating any better or worse.

Weak pitting.

See, you missed a perfectly good opportunity to talk about Obamacare, death panels, Rev. Wright, the Chinese taking our country hostage, the benefits of colloidial silver, and the Austrian school of economics, and you didn’t even touch ONE of those bases.

Very poor showing indeed.
