Yep, sometimes it even gets me hugs. 
You either own a machine that foretells the future or have taken leave of your mental faculties.
Nikolas Cruz was apparently a law-abiding citizen one minute before he opened fire. Stephen Paddock was a law-abiding citizen … before he killed 58 people. The concern about letting people buy guns is the people they may kill in the future, not the people they might have killed with that gun before they bought it!
It’s odd that you didn’t already understand this. Are we to conclude that, for your ilk, “law-abiding” means “having a skin color or political bias that octopus approves of”?
I’m not a moderator, and I don’t report posts, pedo.
Sharting Fartist’s psychopathology is something fantastic to behold though - his ability to convince himself of the craziest conclusions and then hold firm no matter what. “One cannot squat slightly and thrust one’s hips! Sandusky’s victim’s facial expression said that he was not in duress!
Therefore I have proven it couldn’t happen!”
“The 60s were the cause of all social ills! Everything was better then!”
And this instance - taking an hour to search for instances in which a rule was not enforced to conclude that there is no such rule. Deranged!
Can you imagine the people who have to live with this nutbar? “Remember, I proved to you that peanut butter tastes better when smeared counterclockwise with a spoon! Now, roll me over to the window. It’s time for the afternoon buses to drop the neighborhood kids off!”
Whatever you say, Grandpa.
Hahaha! So the best defense is a good offense, eh, Hector?
Still, in your eagerness to save face in light of having been shown to be full of shit in your efforts to get me a warning for something you yourself previously acknowledged was permissible, you come charging is here and immediately demonstrate both the dishonesty and stupidity that are the hallmarks of your entire time here.
Your allegation in regard to what I said in the Paterno thread (which, other than to say this I won’t discuss outside the appropriate thread) is a deliberately dishonest distortion of what I actually said, designed to provide you with a ridiculous statement designed to make me look foolish but which is so stupid and ridiculous on its face that no one outside of those with an anti-SA agenda would believe it.
So in that one paragraph we have a shining example of both your dishonesty and your stupidity. But wait, there’s more.
An hour to search for instances where a rule was not enforced? Ha, it is to laugh. I see first of all that you’ve been talking dishonest verbal gymnastics lessons from Kimstu. What I dug up were not instances where a rule was not enforced, because, wait for it…there is no such rule, you laughable dumbass!
And it hardly took an hour to search for these posts which served to prove what I’d been claiming all along. It took maybe 20 seconds. Lemme 'splain to you how it works. You type “Hector the Librarian” in the board’s search field and up pops links to the various threads where it appears along with a sentence or so from the post, which makes it easy to home in on what you’re looking for. I spent more time coding the links than I did finding evidence that you’re full of shit on the issue of changing poster names in the quote box.
So you were stupidly and dishonestly wrong in your efforts to get me a warning, stupidly and dishonestly wrong about my statement in the Paterno thread, and merely stupidly wrong in how much time it took for me to show you to be full of shit and contradicting yourself on the issue of user names in the quote box.
You’re going to have to do a lot more than toss an eight-cylinder word like ‘psychopathology’ around if you want to look smart on this board. (see Ann Hedonia? I can play with English too. :)) What it will require is that you become an entirely different person…you know, one who isn’t stupid.
And now I’ll leave you and Dribble to stew in your own juices, frustrated by the fact that your feverish efforts to get me a warning have gone for naught, as I have a busy day on tap and probably won’t be back much today if at all. So carry on, comfortable in the knowledge that you can post as much stupid and dishonest shit as you like without being called on it for at least a day or so. I’d rather be here to show you up like I’ve done every other time we’ve crossed swords but real life does intrude.
Imagine how much more time you’d have to do all the fun things your action-packed life affords if you were to never post here again. Just something to think about.
[Moderating]
Hey, everyone. Thanks for reporting this post - turns out this is a bit of an edge case, and it’s not entirely clear to me whether this is something that should be moderated or not. I’m talking it over with the other mods, we should have a decision shortly. In the mean time, please hold off on arguing over whether a rule has been broken or not. That’s not appropriate outside of ATMB, anyway. There’s already a thread there on the subject.
[/Moderating]
I’m sure I am not the only one who imagined Sharting Fartist rolling a couple of ball bearings in his hand as he typed all of that out. I admit that I did not have the energy to make it all the way through. Did he start talking about the missing strawberries at the end?
Good for you SA, you dodged the bullet in the battle of misquotes.
Since you haven’t responded to this poll after I posted it twice, I’m going to assume you realize you’re wrong and too embarrassed to talk about it.
Ha Ha! Whenever I read a SA post, it is accompanied in my head, at absolute top volume, by Cher belting out, “If I Could Turn Back Time”.
I want to respond to every post by pointing out you cannot, in fact, turn back time!
No (I have a few moments free and so popped back in), I don’t believe I’m wrong and I’m not embarrassed. Liberals are notoriously nose-blind when it comes to recognizing liberal bias. For decades they’ve been denying liberal bias in the media even though everyone but they could see it. Further, bias can be so pernicious as to be scarcely noticeable but can have a cumulative and widespread effect, fomenting liberal belief and activism among students themselves and creating liberal-biased peer pressure.
I note that in your poll 42 posters out of 66 admit having experienced some level of liberal professor bias while the remaining 24 don’t discount it, they either claim professors didn’t try to influence them because they were capable of thinking for themselves (which, while not making much sense, still indicates bias was there if ineffective on their part) or because the student in question was too busy partying (which once again doesn’t discount the presence of bias but just renders it ineffective).
So pretty much 100% experienced it whether they feel it took hold or not.
I had occasion some years back to accompany someone to the campus of a major midwestern university as she had to pick up some papers after hours and didn’t want to be walking across campus by herself at night. On every. single. professor’s. office door were cartoons, sayings and papers with a left-wing slant. I was amazed. I mean not one single door was free of that stuff. Now, to those with an inherent left-wing slant to their thinking I’m sure all of this is just how normal, right thinking people think about things. It’s the Dan Rather syndrome described in the book, Bias, by Bernard Goldberg, where Rather is described as having the view that there are two kinds of people in the country: normal, compassionate, right thinking Americans…and right-wing nutjobs. So it’s entirely possible that even though the 100% or your respondents observed bias to one degree or another, they were probably subject to much more than they realized because to them it seemed unremarkable.
And then we come to the fact that since the '60s, relatively normal kids go off to college more or less politically uninvolved and in short order become raving lefties. That wasn’t much in evidence prior to the '60s, so what since then could be responsible if not college professors and the university environment fostered by them?
I myself know a young woman here in the midwest who was the kind of high-school student every right-thinking parent would be proud of. Editor of her high-school paper, “A” student, still a virgin upon graduation (though not averse to makeout sessions), etc. Very much a has-her-feet-on-the-ground type of person. Then she went off to college (in a very small rural community no less) and within two years has gone completely round the bend, getting tattoos and piercings, railing about Nazis and Trump and feminism, jumping into arguments that have nothing to do with her on Facebook, and proudly observing that the person she was in high school would have hated the person she is now.
So again I ask what has changed in the college experience since the '60s to bring all this all too common sort of thing about?
And of course now that liberalism has inveigled itself even further into education and become outraged over the election of Donald Trump, we’re seeing videos filmed by high-school students of teachers ranting and raving at kids who express conservative views or challenge the views of their teachers.
So, all in all, I’m afraid your poll hasn’t accomplished anything at all like you hoped it would and I’ve stayed out of it largely because I haven’t had the time to bother with it, but since you’ve apparently decided to hound me about it until I say something, well, this is it. Enjoy.
I have no interest in turning back time. What I would like is a return to some (or hell, all) of the good things that existed then which were the babies thrown out with the bathwater in the wake of the counterculture revolution.
He’s steaming over his own tow line.
……if i could turn back time…
Say what you will about me but for the love of all that’s good and right in the world stop reminding me of that shrill airheaded harpy Cher. Good grief, man! Have you no humanity?
And now the time has come once again to bid adieu for the evening. Chow. 
The lyric I always hear when reading Sharting’s posts is from Billy Joel’s Moving Out:
“You should never argue with a crazy man.”
I am a very busy man with important things to do that do not include reading this board. But I happen to have a few spare minutes and popped in to say something quickly. That is that I have something very important to do outside of the board, and this thing will take an amount of time. You can bet, mister, that between now and when I next post that I have NOT been reading this board, or this thread in particular.
Her professors influenced her to get tattoos and piercings?
