> [@jamiemcgarry](#): > > I’m calling bullshit on your “jokes”. It’s just your lame cover for when you get called out on some stupid shit that you said. Whether it be calling us all tools or asking for a cite for what freedom of speech means; just because you claim them to be “jokes” after you receive your rightly-deserved flack for saying them doesn’t magically turn them into humor. Well I never called anyone a tool. In fact I was trying my best to not insult others and get personal. I find it much easier to have a conversation when things are light-hearted. Besides, I already admitted I’m probably in the wrong. What more do you want from me? ---

It bears mentioning that I was the one who called everyone tools, although I meant it in an affectionate way. I’ve already gone all the way through that whole stupid argument. ---

> [@Scotty Mo](#): > > Can’t help it. > > What does that make you then? > > I’d say it, but I’d rather not stoop down to your level. It makes me a solid, contributing, longtime member of the board who understands the rules and abides by them. It also makes me a decently intelligent woman who enjoys when people attempt to have clever and accurate dialog with one another around here. And while that is mostly a no-brainer, there is always a moron or two who feels the need to come around and talk nonsense with no consistency or source material to back him up. But I find the occasional game of cat and mouse amusing, so I suppose your presence is worth something, if only for that. And go for it, honey. If you can pull even a marginally clever insult out of your ass I’ll be surprised. I’m betting all you’ve got is some sort of superficial jab that has no basis in reality, but please, attempt to prove me wrong.😛 ---

> [@Acid\_Lamp](#): > > Okay, I think you are an ignorant fuckstick that doesn’t understand critical thinking or logic. Moreover, you make elementary debate errors, commit just about every logical fallacy known and continue on along your happy little road of bullshit. Of course it seems that you went to the school of “my dad always said”, got a degree from “everybody knows” university, and are obviously in the process of receiving your doctorate from “some bloke down the pub told me” State, so you are certainly more than qualified to debate. It is obvious you have little to no idea of how the world actually works, so why don’t you stay out of the deep end of the pool until you don’t need your floaties any longer. _tips hat_ Well done, sir (ETA: or madam!) ---

Personally, I think that **Scotty Mo** ’s original proposal did not go nearly far enough. The world would be a much better place if it were run entirely by **really hot chicks**. It would make it more fun to watch the news, at the very least. ---

His premise is flawed in that war would be nonexistent if women ran the world. War would still be with us, but missiles would be shaped differently. ---

Maybe next time, a little less on the “whiny martyrdom” and a little more on the “actually learning from what people more steeped in the culture here tell you.” I give that apology a 2.25/10. ---

Lol, no shit, although it is amusing to imagine anyone thinking of me as a law abiding ass-kisser. I’ve had my share of warnings around here, just like everyone else. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Well, I guess you could make that argument. > > MY share of warnings appears to hover at around the “zero” mark… From time to time, I’ve had a conversation with people that turns to the nights I spent in jail during my hitch-hiking days. I get shocked looks; “You’ve been in _jail_?”. I respond, “Doesn’t everybody spend a night in jail sometime?” I get blank looks, kind of like the one you just gave. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/scotty-mo-get-your-dumb-ass-down-here/591239.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/scotty-mo-get-your-dumb-ass-down-here/591239.md?page=6)
