Wow. Well, I’m not totally surprised. I’ll say ‘banned’ the third full week of August (18-24th). Any takers?

Let’s make this interesting–a bag of Cheetos is on the line.

Yeah, he was being a real hard-on in that thread. I don’t know if he’s trolling, or just dense, or what, but it was a shitshow from his very first post.

But my mom told me never to gamble! 😃

Hey, if you’re right – for the second consecutive time – you certainly will have earned bragging rights, which is way better than a bag of Cheetos!

And it’s not as if Sammy has a stellar reputation on the board – just from the last day or two:

I already said to drop it. If that’s not clear, let me make it more so: Anyone continuing with the rape analogy will be given a Warning.

Given this context, it looks like he really was saying that they should have assimilated. Which is not something that we need to have on this board, in any forum.

I’m just simply amazed how someone can be so proud of being a diseased, tiny dicked, whoremonger. It is very possible to have unprotected free sex without getting married; go to bar, drink water, hit on beautiful women, take them home and ask them if they mind not using protection. I guess it cost you gas money but that’s about as close to free as it gets.

This definitely feels like a train wreck heading to a banning between him losing his mind here, disappearing to pout and then coming back to blame the jews for the holocaust. I’m guessing he’s got a bet somewhere for how quick he can get banned. I’ll take the under on his getting banned the third week in august. I’m thinking we find out his perfect 10s have been 10 year olds and that pushed him over the banned line.

I just noticed that according to the cartoon “The Becky” has “lushes natural blonde hair.”

Hmmm. I was a lush for 26 years. I went bald, but never blonde. Must’ve been doing it wrong.

Nitpick: Actually, that one’s “The Stacy”. And she “Let’s Chad dominate her”. While “The Becky” “will likely die hair green, pink or blue”.

As an utterly minor nitpick, because that’s what this board is built on, a whoremonger is the pimp, not the john. Since \*\*SamuelA \*\*is buying, not selling, he’s not a whoremonger.

That has to be one of the most dubiously positive things anyone has ever said about him.

I’m so glad I put him on Ignore. He’s about as stupid as Trump.

I hereby propose that we start using “the trump” as a unit of stupidity, with the caveat that it is unlikely for anyone but Trump to achieve a rating of one trump’s worth of stupidity.

SamuelA is about 0.998 trumps, I think.

Seconded. **SamuelA** is 0.998 trumps, until he pulls a “just” card to activate 2.534 justs (of imaginary nanobot power) to lay the groundwork for his next wild-assed “design.” That just trumps his stupidity to 1.634.

C’mon, join the Ban Pool! Pick a week—Cheetos are on the line!

So he retroactively blames Jews for the Holocaust because they didn’t have the common sense to flee Nazi Germany? (And apparently, every place they conquered and killed Jews in - they’re at fault for not being psychic!)

That’s fucked up.

That’s because he’s definitely an anti-Semite. Look, that methodology is a tried and true stunt from anti-Semites for, literally, centuries. Jews were forced to live in ghettos and then condemned for living in squalor; prohibited from working in many fields, forcing them to work in the few available, such as money-lending centuries ago, and then condemned as misers; another of the few permitted fields was entertainment and then the Jews are condemnfded for “controlling Hollywodd”; prohibited from assimilating in many places and then condemned for not assimilating. That last one should be familiar today.

And after a certain point, they had no way to flee. At the risk of derailing this, death camps were not then (and are not now) the only kind of concentration camps. There were work camps also.
