> [@Evil Captor](#): > > I thought the OP’s rant was well written and sharp, but didn’t work as a Pitting due to Sam Stone’s general lack of resemblance to the topic of the Pitting. I think the OP writer shows promise, but should work on focusing his rant topics a little more. Two schizophrenics were sitting quietly next to each other at a bus stop. Suddenly one them reaches over and slaps the other in the head saying “Would you turn that crap off!”. The second reaches over, hits the first one in the head and says, “That’s yours. I don’t even listen to that station!” ---

I have no idea why, but I think I’m offended. I demand the SDMB sponsor, at their expense, an organization to lobby the SDMB when we are offended. Based in DC or Ottawa (heh, didn’t think I knew the capital did ya?) this group can once and for all determine the status of horses in bondage. Also, we can then determine the fate of the PETA members that say it’s wrong. Because we all, I assume, can agree that a horse in leather is really, really fucking hot! And those that don’t think so are just, well, wrong. ---

> [@Sam Stone](#): > > In a way I’m disappointed, though. This is only my second pitting in 14,000 messages. I had hoped for something a little more creative, delivered by someone a little less cerebrally challenged. Well, damn, Sam, you’re just not trying. I only have about 1,100 messages posted, and I’ve already been pitted twice. Of course, they were pretty pathetic efforts, but it’s still nice to know that someone cares. ---

The second reaches over, hits the first one in the head and says, “That’s yours. I don’t even listen to that station!” Well, clearly there are people from Sam Stone’s area who have provoked the OP’s ire, and it would be interesting to know if there is a nasty flavor of conservative racist idiot there, much as there is in the South, but I don’t think Sam belongs in that group, any more than he belongs with racist rednecks in the South. I disagree with most of Sam’s views, but I have to give him credit for having a well-developed set of ideas and beliefs, as opposed to the inchaote nastiness of rednecks. Plus, Sam has never to my knowledge revealed any racist tendencies. Just the usual conservative lack of interest in the survival of the poor and the middle class. ---

And this, sir, is one of the reasons you lost the last two presidential races and will probably lose the next. You dumb bastards just never learn. ---
