Back in this thread, ScOo_guy said the following:
ScOo_gUy
I replied:
Since you objected to going off topic in that thread, I started a new one. My comment still stands. Are you a bigot or just a dolt?
Irishman, your question implies mutual exclusivity. Is it so hard for you to believe that he is a bigot AND a dolt?
I’m generous, and allow the benefit of the doubt. It’s a minimal set of at least one. More evidence needed to sort which or if both.
Irishman, I’ve read the entire thread (my masochist side coming out), and Scoo_guy is definitively a dolt.
Accordingly, your question is too complex. You should have simply asked, “Are you a bigot?”
Normally, this would be a minor concern, but in scoo_guy’s case, it is unfair to use too many words. In fact, to be completely fair to him, you really should have used a monosyllabic synonym for “bigot”, if one exists.
Sua
May I suggest, Bigot, Dolt and Raving Lunatic (three sides of The Triangle, don’t you know).
I didn’t read the thread referenced, nor do I intend to. Why willingly look at something that’s gonna depress me, I say (not being a masochist like SuaSponte). I’d just like to briefly respond to the question posed in the OP by Irishman, and the assumptions contained therein. If y’all don’t mind.
I prefer to sit the offender down and explain to them that ‘it is offensive, even more so because many who use the phrase are blind to so obvious a dig at homosexuals,’ to use an eloquent phraseage, first, before instantly condemning them to doltdom or bigotry. As you say, Irishman, many (especially younger) people don’t realize the implications of using this word as a slur, and as such are only guilty of some slight ignorance. I think it’s only fair to give them one chance to self-correct before writing them off. Just my small input.
This is not, of course, to say that ScOo_gUy is not a dolt or bigot. Judging from the small sampling of response in this thread, I’m sure he’s a peach.
Wow. I wonder if there’ll be a thread about the unfairness of it all if/when this guy gets banned…
Seriously though, the SDMB has been without a really good raving lunatic for far too long. If ScOo_gUy remains at this level of offensive incoherence, he could one day be ranked up there with some of our legendary madmen. It’s gonna be one hell of a self-destruct sequence, let me tell you.
I’d just like to take this moment to welcome FarmerOak
You’re amusing the heck out of me this morning for unknown reasons.
Personally, I liked the point where skogie dood (or whatever) was boasting about being 18. We can tell, child, we can tell.
And I’m trying to see if a source for my music research paper is online. (Music’s effect on the brain. Someone did a semi experiment on how music fits into life. Listening to music on head phones and watching children play to the beat only he could hear. Fun stuff. Didn’t get to include it in my paper…)
Why, thanks, Medea’s Child! And here I thought I was only amusing myself!
I see that Dex has “closed” the original thread. Funny, I thought I declared that thread closed DAYS ago.
White Lightning, for the record, I have tried the explanation thing before. It doesn’t always work. How do you illuminate someone who closes his eyes?
I had a college guy describe cash-net caps as “gay”. “That is so gay.” I tried to get a description from him about just how they were gay, but nothing coherent came out.
Obviously I make allowances for age-related stupidity. Hey, I’ve been on the other side on other topics. But subtlety in explanation is often missed, so the two-by-four upside the head has the advantage of clarity.
ScOo_guy doesn’t strike me as the dumbest schmuck on the board, he’s just latched on to his personal theory and won’t see around it. I just posted here because I wasn’t sure where else to put it.
Whoa! That thread is giving me circumcision flashbacks!
:eek:
Aww look, a thread dedicated to me! I’m happy to see that i’m loved. I hope its brotherly love and not the other.
Since there is no specific topic, I guess i’ll type this.
Here is a list of connections between albums and movies. I suggest everyone taking a look if you have the resources.
- Ummagummas studio album cover.
- Length of Echoes and Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite.
- Wish You Were Heres pictures. Notice that all of them have a theme of absence. Think of the movie Its A Wonderful Life.
- The Wall. Pink Floyd are perfectionists. Notice the minus (-) sign on the cd and in the booklet after Comfortably Numb. To synch The Wall with Alice In Wonderland, you must skip the song Comfortably Numb.
- A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Notice the song Yet Another Movie. Sayonara.
- The Division Bell. The ape-like structire on the front. The monkeys on Keep Talking and in the midle of the pages, the monkeys are making an ape face. On the back of the cd you see the ape-like structure again. On High Hopes you see a man with a cape. If you have Mind Over Matter: The Images of Pink Floyd look on page 139. Look into the cape, closely. Planet of the Apes.
Also, notice that the synchronicities started after Pink Floyd made their first soundtrack.
Just look at those. Its not too difficult.
Hmmm. Looks like FarmerOak was right. We’re definitely not in an either/or situation here.
smeghead, i’m your aunt. if you were my aunt, i’d be saying, “smeghead, i’m your nephew.” But i didn’t so that makes me your uncle. I, your uncle, don’t liked to be kicked, so, if you kick me, then I shall whip you. What, exactly, is a smeghead?
…9…8…7…uh oh, here it comes…5…4…
I see the out patients are out in force tonight…
Esprix
Here we go again…
:rolleyes:
Seems like an endless supply of these guys.
Glad you’re back, you little fucker. You’re an amusing turd, and I’ve missed you EVER so much.
Have you not yet got it into your skull that you are a deluded stoner, and that this is a fantasy that you need to let go of before you will ever be allowed to enter polite society?
This thread was dedicated in your name the same way that the Twinkie Defense was named for Dan White. It ain’t an honor, you loser.
Take a look… in this thread AND in the thread that spawned it, NOT ONE PERSON HAS SEEN WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY. I mean, we all understand how to follow the links, and to interpret the evidence… but NO ONE has interpreted it in your particular twisted stoner fashion.
You do not communicate well. When you are misunderstood because of your poor communication skills, you make personal attacks. When your personal attacks are not well-received, you accuse your detractors of ignorance.
Accusing Dopers of ignorance is not gonna go over well.
In closing, let me take the opportunity to let you know, here in the Pit, what I could not previously tell you:
You suck.
You are a moron.
Your logic is fallacious.
Your mother is a three-dollar whore.
I fucked your mother, and gave her the three dollars, and then cheated her out out of the three dollars by asking her to count all of her dollars.
You are an annoying child who does not bother to listen to what he is told, and probably has about 15 years’ worth of crust attached to his butt, inasmuch as he refuses to wipe.
You suck.
You do not express your thoughts coherently.
You are disrespectful to your betters.
You suck.
You do not understand the logic of an argument.
Oh, wow. Four people, including YOU have posted during the composition of this response. ANd STILL, in NEITHER thread, is anyone still stupid enough to buy into the Floyd Crap…
… except for ScumGuy.
It kinda makes you wonder why farmer johns wife left him.
oh and, i haven’t smoked weed for… 3 days. Also, i fuck your grandmother and grandfather. I like their wrinkles.
