But we’re talking malfeasance with the most damning evidence! Surely something can be done.
I just checked, mine was made in Mexico. Sorry to disappoint. (I think having one made in Burma would be kinda cool, though.)
You sure it wasn’t Cheney, or Wolfowitz, or Rove?
That’s because it is an unintelligent chatbot. Good luck using reason to bring it back to the human side.
No, it was Tuesday. Rummy lies on Tuesday, Cheney lies on Thursday, Wolfowitz on Wednesday, Rove from birth.
(No, true story! I’m not making this up, I heard it from guy who’s sister knows Rove’s necrocosmetologist…Three days after he was born he tried to convince his mother he was adopted!)
Lather, rinse, repeat, as needed.
Right no cue. This thing is like the Nazgul…
Rove was born? Methinks such evil would have to be “hatched” at least.
Right on cue, I mean (excuse me, I am human)
I´ve got to admit, that was damn funny. 
He has his moments. Regretably, they are moments.
elucidator, you know I am 100% behind the campaign to wipe out Cognitive Dissonance (if only for the simple purpose that it confuses the issue of funding for Conduct Disorder, the CD research that I am involved in), but the problem with your nomination for the new poster child for CD is that “cognitive” implies a thought process. I submit that a more compelling CD poster child may be found elsewhere. Perhaps north of the border…
Thanks? Anyway, I think you’re all right. No, seriously.
That’s an interesting perspective, considering your first post in this thread was, verbatim:
For that matter, did anyone ask you for your opinion? Did the OP ask anyone for their opinion?
No, and that’s rather what I am getting at. The OP was preaching to the SDMB choir, so what’s the point? Nothing new was offered, differing opinions were not sought out, nothing was gained. Just:
“Bush sucks.”
followed by
“You’re so right, dude.”
What does that prove?
Sorry to beat (har!) a dead horse, but how isn’t that a circle-jerk?
Informing same choir that this had happened.
And whether or not differing opinions were sought, one or two were certainly imported;)
Oh, hell, who said it wasn’t? The logic of your post just made no fucking sense, dood. “Did anyone ask you for your opinion?” Nobody asked you for yours, either. I still don’t see the point of your post.
Thanks for being honest about it. My point is, do you really want an SDMB like that? It’s almost like groupthink.
“Statement X is right (or wrong)”
30 posts “I agree”
Where’s the utility in that approach?
Quite frankly, there’s been an aspect of the board that’s groupthink since I’ve been here. I’d almost wager (almost; I don’t bet on anything) that in a significantly large group of people there’s sometimes going to be groupthink. I think I’d rather have groupthink in some cases (“kicking puppies is baaad”) than have someone seriously espouse an opposing viewpoint (“kicking puppies makes the baby jesus smile”).
I’m not sure this thread completely fits that description:
“Rumsfeld lied; here’s where.”
30 posts “Oh, dude, that’s funny/horrible/sucky/typical.”
milroyj: “Typical liberal porn.”
Poster X: “milroyj, you idiot.”
Repeat ad nauseam.
Had your rejoinder not been so utterly pointless, the repetition would probably have taken a substantially different form, as I believe I noted earlier.
Besides, what you’ve just described fits more than a few IMHO threads. What do you do with them?
Okay then but how can we be blamed for agreeing you are a dipshit? YOU go find someone you thinks you are not a dipshit. Don’t ask us to do it for you. Good luck in your quest and when come back bring pie.
I don’t understand your premise. In your last post, you indicated that the problem was with me saying “Who asked for your opinion?” But that statement was directed at only one particular poster who has, shall we say, a rep around here. (the one asked to confine his bashing to a single thread and all.)
Or do you have a problem with my initial post describing this thread as a wank-fest, a proposition with which you apparently agree?
As I age, I find myself sadly deficient in the science and practice of onanism. I’ll defer to your expertise.
