They're illegal aliens; stop making up other names for them.

Boy, you’ve really got some problems, don’t you? Obviously, by “met” I meant “interacted with on this message board” - I’d think given the context you’d have understood that, but perhaps I’m assuming too much of you. Then to say you hate me simply because, what?, you disagree with some opinion I have? (I don’t know because I have no idea who you are). That is really sad, and says so much more about you than it does me. As does the fact you just dropped in here to bash me in a rather vague fashion.

And don’t be silly; of course you read the whole post, you just choose not to respond to it for whatever reason.

“suck”? How old are you? :confused:

How about you stop making racist comments and then pretending that it’s okay when you claim you are a sarcastic racist? Rush Limbaugh claims his sarcasm and entertainment make it okay too.

I didn’t make any racist comments. And if the term “illegal aliens” is so horrible, why is it that you’re going off on me about it and not the OP and the other posters who used the term unambiguously?

Your post 10 is horribly racist, that’s way. And I have called the OP racist.

No, it isn’t. Your reading comprehension is horrible and so is your spelling. You don’t get to tell other people they are racist when you are too dumb to understand the topic that’s being discussed.

Don’t keep me waiting, The Second Stone. Tell me why it’s racist to quote someone else saying “illegal aliens.” (Oh no, I did it again!)

Um, okay, how about “alternatively documented”?

:rolleyes: Check your citizen-privilege.

“The OP is right” No, he isn’t, he’s a racist who at least had the decency to slink away.

“the term ‘illegal aliens’ was handed down by God himself” No, it wasn’t. That is entirely made up. As I mentioned earlier “illegal” calls people criminals and “aliens” implies they are less than human.

“It’s an immutable and inarguable law of nature”, Bullshit. Where?

“these people” with the sneering tone (either sarcastic as you claim or flat) is also dehumanizing.

“must be called at all times.” What the fuck? What is the matter with you?

You claim this is sarcasm, but include no sarcasm smilies and only scare quotes around “illegal aliens”. You do not say it is sarcasm anywhere, and do not claim sarcasm for several pages. Many posts in you concede that “illegal aliens” might support an argument having a tendency to be dehumanizing. Might?

I know sarcasm when I see it, and I think your late claim to sarcasm is bullshit. I don’t think it changes anything even if true. Your post 10 should have been withdrawn immediately or explained immediately.

If it makes you feel superior or better about yourself (you racist pig) to call me a moron, go right ahead. It isn’t shameful to be a moron. Or a bad speller. It is shameful to be a racist and/or nasty, which you most certainly are.

That’s the point of the post, you mouthbreathing fuckwit. I’ll point out again that the OP understood this:

[QUOTE=The Second Stone]
“the term ‘illegal aliens’ was handed down by God himself” No, it wasn’t. That is entirely made up.
[/quote]

I pointed that out long before you showed up to spray your mental diarrhea all over the thread. It’s so over the top that even if you don’t know I’m an atheist, it should still be clear this was not intended to be taken literally. And I am one, so that should make it flat-out obvious. The OP started this thread to say ‘the term for these people is illegal aliens, so don’t make up other terms,’ and my reply said (via sarcasm) ‘we made up the term ‘illegal aliens,’ so why can’t we make up another name?’

The matter is that stupid people are allowed to read what I write.

Because anyone with even minimal brainpower would have understood the post without smilies or other lazy giveaways. Do you think anyone, no matter how racist, really believes that God came up with the words “illegal alien” and that

I said the words “illegal aliens” can be seen written in the stars, like by the Hubble Telescope. Do you think anyone seriously believes this?

You clearly do not.

The OP understood it. Nobody else had a problem understanding it except you. Why would I explain it? That would imply everyone is as stupid as you are.

I don’t need your permission, and I have no intention of stopping. It’s not about making myself feel better, it’s about truthfulness.

Yes, it is. It’s pretty shameful if you’re an adult human being who can’t understand a couple of simple sentences because your brain is unable to assemble the components and comprehend the idea being expressed. In the above post you’re literally too busy interrupting the words to get the gist of what I am saying. It’s idiotic shrieking, and it’s certainly something you should be ashamed of- although of course if you understood why it’s shameful you wouldn’t be doing it in the first place. As it is you’re both too dumb not to do this and too dumb to avoid it.

With your masterful understanding of rhetorical devices, you must be breathtaking when arguing a case.

ETA: Just so we’re clear (almost forgot who I was talking to), that was sarcasm.

I just hope The Second Stone never watches that horrible rightwing bigot Stephen Colbert. He’s even worse than Bill O’Reilly!

I almost mentioned Colbert in that context in my post. This guy is truly baffling me in this thread.

I’m not at all ashamed of my lack of intelligence. I wish I were smarter, but I’m not. But at least I didn’t go and agree with the OP.

As for “interrupting”, what part of post 10 did I interrupt? Did I hit your elbow while you were typing? Did I call you up after you typed “I” and you forgot to type “don’t” in front of “agree with the OP.” Did I hack into your post and change it? No, none of those things.

You said something really offensive without interruption, and when I called you on it, you screamed moron and stupid and idiot and after several pages it finally occurred to you to claim that your nasty post was just a sarcastic joke. Sarcastic joke or not, it’s offensive. And I don’t buy that it is a sarcastic joke. Which you have now apparently abandoned in search of the new excuse that I am “interrupting” your posts because of my limited intelligence. I am pretty sure I’m not interrupting your racist ranting, or how that is even possible to interrupt your typing and keeping you from completing the publication of your racist thoughts.

I don’t think this is the first time it’s happened. The Second Stone is just too stupid to understand sarcasm. It’s sort of like a Pavlovian response: he’s managed to train his underpowered brain to bark “racist” in response to some words, but he can’t do that while reading for comprehension. Either he barks every time he sees the word “illegal” or he can’t do it at all. That’s the explanation I’m going with even though he kind of lied in his first post by saying I’d used the word “illegals” and then backtracked by saying the words I actually used are just as bad even though they were a quote of the OP in the first place. Sarcasm is really about three or four stages beyond him, and I suspect it always will be.

You should be. Educate yourself. This isn’t about raw intelligence, it’s about simple reading comprehension.

I didn’t agree with the OP. That’s the entire point of the post. It makes no sense whatsoever if you read it in any other way.

This response makes it clear that Machine Elf understands I am disagreeing with him. Do you get this? I said sarcastically that the term “illegal aliens” was handed down by God because if it were, the term would (I assume) be perfect and unchangeable. Since that’s not where the term came from, it’s changeable.

No, I didn’t.

Because you are too dumb to get sarcasm.

Nope. It was still sarcastic.

What I said was that in that last post you responded to my post piece by piece - misunderstanding each piece along the way - and then not understanding the entirety of the post. It’s usually called missing the forest for the trees.

I don’t buy either that your post is sarcastic, or that even if it were, that you can be a racist as long as you couch it all sarcastically. Being a sarcastic racist is still quite offensive.

Here’s an example: Sarcasm isn’t beyond me. :rolleyes: See? I used rolleyes! That means sarcastic, as in I don’t really believe it. Had you not said “I agree with the OP”, but rather something like: “The OP’s thorough analysis of the etymology of the various appellations for the designation of people with immigration situations that are less than ideal is penetrating as far as it goes but needs more work” that wouldn’t be agreeing with the OP without the tone approval an unadorned “I agree with the OP” conveys. What you now argue is sarcasm, although you have now claimed I interrupted it, and are now back at sarcasm, doesn’t read like sarcasm. It reads like you agree with the OP for God given reasons. Like a white hooded robed racist.

We’re talking about whether you can understand sarcasm when it’s used by others. This thread answers that question with a very loud NO.

I shudder at the thought of you writing a post for me.

I guess the question is this: if you think I meant what I said in that post - the one where I said God created the term “illegal aliens” even though I don’t believe in God, the one where I said those words are written in the stars even though they aren’t and it was the looniest idea I could think of at the time - what did I mean in the posts after that? Because in post #30 I said very clearly that the term is made up (contradicting the whole ‘God’ thing) and that we can argue about other terms being appropriate.

It read exactly like sarcasm to me and every other poster in this thread who isn’t an utter moron (i.e., you). Your woeful inability to grasp even an 8th grade-level concept of how sarcasm is deployed makes you appear more stupid with each post. Sometimes you need to STFU and listen when everybody else in the room tells you you’ve got it ass-backwards.

:dubious:

You are absolutely convinced that Marley23 genuinely believes

How in the holy fuck could you see a written statement like that and think that he really believes it? How could you possibly believe it was anything but sarcasm?
