Pitting Honeybadger

I wonder how ending the war on drugs would affect the disparity in racial criminality?

If the only reason black folks are over represented are the drugs laws 1 of 2 things needs to happen:

  1. Eliminate the war on drugs
  2. Get the folks dealing/doing drugs to actually stop (ya know because it is against the law)

Bwahaha! Thanks, I needed a great laugh today.

I am very late to this thread but, for what it’s worth, I’d like to add my hearty cheer for Biggirl for this excellent pitting.

You have got to be shitting me. There’s no way in a college town that all kinds of kids aren’t acting “rowdy” at any given time.

No, *obviously *it’s just the black kids.

Yeah, when the rowdy college kids are black, they’re the few bad apples making the rest look bad.

When the rowdy college kids aren’t black, they’re clearly just ‘kids being kids’ and not actually making trouble.

Very clear and not racist at all. Nosirree, not at all.

When the rowdy college kids are black, it just goes to show that black kids are rowdy, obviously. And dangerous. I’d better carry a gun because I’ve heard that pepper spray and mace doesn’t even work on them!

Let me first apologize for my short and concise reply to your latest thread of the flavor
what if our problems with overusing the word’s resources aren’t so bad really and we can just solve them with magic?

It was rightfully mod noted as close to threadshitting and attacking the poster. It was perfectly accurate of course, but without the context of your pattern of posting like a disingenuous halfwit about the environment, that wouldn’t be apparent to the average reader. And of course dragging out evidence of your pattern of dimwittery would have been inappropriate in that forum anyway.

Now if anyone wants some evidence they can just read the rest of the thread. Whether you were trolling with this ignorance about basic science, or are you genuinely this dumb, I have a hard time believing you didn’t know exactly what you were setting up with your OP. You’re a disingenuous, halfwit troll and I’m crossing my fingers you’ll reach modable levels sooner rather than later.

In the mean time, enjoy the sincere replies from people more patient than me. And if you are not a disingenuous troll, spend some time reading those replies for comprehension, you might learn something.

Why do people always forget the ‘It’s both!’ option?
His stupid has been on my radar all year.

Well, after Jim_B has been shown the door, there still must be some village idiots left. HoneyBadger sure is in the ballpark with all his ridiculous threads.

Dunno about the thread, but I miss @wonky.

I got so pissed off with this disingenuous nonsense that, although I avoided crossing the line in that thread, in the heat of the moment I reported the whole thread to be moved to the Pit on the basis that (a) the OP was dishonest about its real agenda, and (b) OP had not presented anything coherent enough for anyone else to express an opinion on. @engineer_comp_geek rightly shot me down, unfortunately (unlike GD) there are no standards in the rules for IMHO that the OP must advance a thesis for discussion in a coherent manner. Of course trolling is not allowed, but I don’t think it really rises to that level, although I think his OP here was blatantly dishonest. I’ve replied to several of his threads about biology/evolution where I have some expertise with some scientific information, but more for the potential benefit of others than in any hope that it might have any impact on his ignorant “intuition” about the way the world works.

That sums it up, I think. But I have less patience with nonsense when it’s ignorance and disinformation about things like climate change or vaccination.

Ooops he did it again! Not linking to the thread though. If you want the headache you can just search for it.

Why not?

I’m assuming you mean this dumb thread:

Hopefully it won’t last long. Because it is terrible, and everyone who posted in it should be ashamed of themselves for taking the bait…

A compromise between the principle of ignoring bullshit and calling it out.

I think he meant to create that thread in the In My Ignorant Bigoted Opinion section of the board,

We need that.
IMIBO. Rolls off the tongue…

Sorry.

What a title for that thread. Does anyone other than conservative homophobes use the term “gay lifestyle”?

Time travelers?
