**FXM** , I literally, truly, non-ironically think you should be forced to have ‘I’m too stupid to understand humor’ branded on your butt. At gunpoint. ---

A jerk that agrees with me is still a jerk, you somehow think that a whoosh, that is part of a trolling article, equals most people that know about climate change. That is certifiably stupid for 2 reasons already mentioned: 1. It is a whoosh or a troll from the writer. 2. Even so, the facts are on his side regarding global warming, not so on the joke that he is making. Having said that, your posts will be perfect now to show all, once again, how putrid your reading comprehension is. (Or your lack of a functioning sense of humor, pick your poison) ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Hell, domesticated ferrets are tattooed (one dot for being neutered, one dot for being de-scented) on their ears for ID purposes. No one makes that out to be a Nazi thing, do they? But you know who keeps ferrets as pets ? Fucking nihilists, man. I mean, say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, at least it’s an ethos. ---

> [@Quartz](#): > > I beg to [differ](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=438855). You know personally of someone who was tattooed at Auschwitz, and maybe the woman who got out in the other OP you linked is the same woman, or a different one. Either way, the point is, forcible tattooing for means of identification is not funny to you because of someone you know personally that had it done in a real-world nightmare situation. You and I agree, actually. You failed at processing the humor in the column. Maybe your reason is valid, but you can’t see the humor. Would it help if the column had said people who deny climate change should be fed to sharks? Or be disemboweled with a rusty cheese grater? ---

☹ I know someone personally who was disembowled by a rusty cheese grater! And the cheese grater didn’t even get life…it got off with 10 years and came out a new grater, having lost the rust and (supposedly) paying it’s debt to society. I wouldn’t find that funny at all. Now, if the article said that all warmalarmists should have their yoohoos (or hoohas) painted gold…yeah, I could see the humor there… -XT ---
