Sure. Mine’s called Fenris. I’d still like to see that “proof”, though. Just for the hell of it.
All I would like to add to this thread, is that some people apparently do no differentiate between “unorthodox” and “completely fucking insane and without any factual basis whatsoever”.
Carry on.
Coldfire: Don’t you know? Rockford is offering $10,000 if anyone can refute his proof that moderators have sockpuppets that run rampant!
Coldfire, you liar!
We all know that Fenris is Scylla’s sock! Unless they’re both your socks!
Coldfire once touched my sock, but I was sleeping and he’s a pervert.
Esprix
BWAHAHAHAHAH…that is priceless! May I use this as a sig?
Anything for you, Guin.

If an individual is involved in a high speed chase with the cops, it should be perfectly legal for the cops to beat the snot out of said individual when they catch him.
Legal? Hell, it should be mandatory!
Well, I thought Freddy Got Fingered was actually a good movie. Not “well, it’s okaay…” good, but actually good!
When I get around to it I’ll rent the video so I can watch it again.
I’ve never found anyone else who shares this view.
Hmm…
I belive that people should be able to own, buy, or sell almost anything - including weapons and hard drugs, with as little restriction as possible. Usage of those objects may be regulated so as to insure public safety.
The second amendment’s purpose is two fold: a) it reserves for the people as a whole the power of the gun instead of giving a potentially tyrannic government a monopoly, and b) it allows for the protection of ones right to life.
I belive that carrying a lethal weapon in the commission of a crime indicates a homicidal disregard for life, and should be punished accordingly.
I belive that any crime commited with homicidal tendencies (from murder to assault with a deadly weapon) mark a person as a danger to society who should be in solitary confinement for life. Multiple or heinous offences should result in automatic capital punsishment, as should cases in which the defendant shows no remorse.
I belive that capital punishment as currently administered in the US is an embaracing farce, and that the root is publicity. Japan’s administration of capital punishment is the only point in their judicial system I wish the US would adopt (prisoners are essentially executed in near secrecy). The one fault is that the only parties who should have an interest (the prisoner and the respective families) are not informed of pending executions.
I belive that Japan is a prime example of the faults of a disarmed populous.
I agree with Sublight that there needs to be a radical change in the Japanese government before the right-wing racist nuts take over.
I belive that the occupation government did Japan a grave disservice in not completing their work, in allowing the old bureaucracy to maintain it’s power, and in rehabilitating many class A war criminals (many of whom went on to serve in the post war government - can you imagine the allied powers allowing high ranking Nazis to participate in a post war German government?)
I believe that welfare is evil, harmful, and a terrible example of public theft.
I believe that the work of government social programs should be completely carried out by private citizens.
I believe there are too many able people depending on handouts from the government and private charities. These people are evil theives.
I believe that there are people who really do desparately need help from charitable organizations.
I belive that people who don’t contribute (to the best of thier abilities) to the charities that should be carring out the work of the govermnet social programs have no concept of civil society and are therefore evil.
I believe that business is a creative endevor.
I belive that many involved in the business world are reprehensible, evil, bastards.
I believe that items 8-15 are not contradictory.
I belive I may have more to contribute, but I have to go now.
If folks want the ‘mentally challenged’ folk in the work place to make them feel like there are part of society/team, then fine. But we should treat them like any other part of society/team and not with kid-gloves.
IE: If they are arrgant and rude to other employees, then they should be reprimanded or even fired…just like anyone else.
(The mail guy at my work is mentaly challenged and a bit (lot?) slow. (But not Downs) And he can be an arrogant prick and quite a pervert. When he mouths off to people or is plain RUDE, we can’t say anything because he is a ‘simple man’. Bullshit, I say.)
I believe that if want to take a shit in a china cup and call it art, then it’s art.
I believe -
1: Esprix’s prediction about this thread will be correct.
2: Women who have been attractive all their lives and are used to being dollies have no idea how fast their faces will fall when they get to their late 30’s and early 40’s. It’s almost like watching a wall crumbling in real time. It’s especially amusing to watch this happen to the pretty people who moan about people judging them by their looks instead of their intellect, inner spirit etc. as they run for the botox and the surgeon’s knife.
3: The houses of people who have indoor cats and litterboxes smell like litterboxes no matter how fastidious they are and how much they empty the box. That nasty cat pee/shit funk is always lingering in the background, but most people are just too polite to say anything.
4: People will rationalize away and put up with almost anything in a relationship if they are getting good sex.
5: Some women will grasp at almost any rationalization in order to warehouse their kids (infants even) in daycare so they are not tied down at home. These women and the men who impregnate them should be neutered.
6: Gun ownership should not be allowed without passing extensive safety classes and being re-tested every 5 years.
7: Although I am an atheist I believe that overall, religion does far more good for society than ill.
8: Automobile drivers who are over 60 should have to be tested for safe driving skills every two years until age 70 and every year after that.
I might get called a racist for this, but I’m not, and I sure as hell don’t believe in any form of slavery. I was born in Virginia, I was raised in Virginia, I live in Virginia, and yes, I am very proud to be a southerner.
If a person gains over 50 lbs within a year of their wedding (not including pregnancy) their spouse should be able to pack up his/her shit and leave, no harm, no foul.
The government has no right to know what type or how many guns I own.
A very, very basic skills test should be given to people when they vote. I mean such as - which number is higher, 10 or 1? Some of those people they interviewed in Fla should have just been put out of their misery.

I believe that anyone who would leave their spouse, whom they’ve pledged their life to out of love and respect, because they gained weight ought to be dissallowed from ever talking to the opposite sex again, as they are amazingly shallow, and probably derive more pleasure from masturbation than sex anyway.
I believe that for most rabid gun-nuts, if fondling their firearms didn’t make them feel more like a “man”, and make their tiny penises erect, they wouldn’t give two shits about the second amendment.
I believe that being a southerner does not make somebody a racist.
I do believe that anyone who prefaces their remarks with "I am not a racist, but … " is probably a racist.

Well, this isn’t a perfect world. If it were, love and respect would be just fine to keep a couple together. Too bad though, physical attraction was, is, and always will be a main factor. That whole Julia Roberts/Lyle Lovett thing was the exception that proves the rule. But on the other hand I guess there is always alcohol to solve that problem. Shallow, yes, but I’m just being honest. I just love your generalities; you used “probably” twice and “most” once… But no, I do not enjoy masturbation more than sex.
Well, I don’t fall into your “most rabid gun-nut profile”. I do not fondle or do anything else like that with my gun. I have it for home protection and target shooting at the local range. I call a person a gun-nut when they have an entire room dedicated to them. A gun has never made me erect, nor do I have a tiny penis.

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence. I shall pass it along it along to my brethren.

Another probably, but as you evidently think that I am lying…. I can’t prove that I’m not. It’s very hard to prove a negative. I didn’t say “I’m not a racist, but…”, I said that I might be called a racist for this, but I’m not. The difference is very subtle but it is still there.
Dude, I can barely understand what the hell you’re babbling about.
You counted my “mosts” and “probably’s”?
So I generalized. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China. Besides, you should realize from the git-go that all generalizing is bad. I know I do – most of the time – probably.
Listen – proclaim your shallowness from the mountain tops. Have fun being lonely. No skin off my balls.
And for my money, anyone who needs to hide information from a regulating body about the quantity of regulated items qualifies as a nut …I don’t care if you have a room for them, dress them up like Harlequin clowns and name each one of them after A. A. Milne characters.
“My penis isn’t small” – the battle cry of the un-hung.
As far as the racist thing – I’m not calling you a racist. The reason for that is, you didn’t say anything remotely racist. Which is why I’m wondering why you needed to clear it up first.
It’s like saying – “I’m not homophobic, but damn I like pie.”
Wha-huh?
I meant to add this earlier, sorry. I do believe that just because someone is from the astral plane it does not make them a racist either.

Ooh, good one. Ya really tagged me with that one.
Thanks, you’re a peach!
My (mostly) unpopular views:
When something sad happens (suicide, death, September 11th) most people are very interested and even entertained by the experience. But nobody will ever admit it. (I’ve had some very personal experience with this sort of thing, but I won’t go into details.)
Everybody has at least some subconscious racist thoughts. But almost nobody will ever admit it.
“Kung Pow: Enter the Fist” is an awesome movie. It’s terribly written, and definitely not the type of movie you should analyze like Citizen Kane or something, but it’s freakin’ hilarious to watch while you’re stoned.
There are many valid arguments for why pot should be legal.
There are many valid arguments for why pot should be illegal.
Most people who are into “counterculture” (Wiccans, paganists, goths) are just jumping on the “I hate stupid Christians and the government sucks” bandwagon. (I definitely know about that one from experience.)
Open source can be a bad thing. It’s good when you have an operating system that everyone can contribute to, but what happens when you release the source code to an online game and then all the 1337 h4x0rs use the code to cheat?
I believe super-skinny girls are not attractive. But if you think otherwise, that’s your own opinion.
Looks aren’t everything.
Looks aren’t nothing. Lots of people won’t admit it, but the way you look is a factor in society and relationships. Bad hygeine especially is a perfectly valid reason not to like someone.
Having a child naturally should have way more restrictions than adopting a child.
There are many legitimate pro-life arguments.
There are many legitimate pro-choice arguments.
There are many legitimate arguments for having firearms.
There are many legitimate arguments for banning firearms.
“Alternative rock” is anything but alternative. Most people who say they listen to “alternative” or “obscure” music are really just buying into the mainstream musical genres. If you listen to Slayer and Metallica, that’s not very alternative. If you download some techno song called “Björken Shpörken” by some random guy in Slovakia, and it turns out to be the best song you ever heard, that’s alternative music.
There is such a thing as bad music, but there is no such thing as a bad music genre. It took me a while to figure this out, but there are good hip hop songs, bad hip hop songs, good country songs, bad country songs, good pop-punk songs, bad pop-punk songs…just choose what you like and listen to it, don’t discount an entire genre of music.
If some stupid kid kills himself jumping off of his roof, or goes into a school and shoots up a bunch of innocent people, it’s his own damn fault. It’s not because of “Jackass,” “Grand Theft Auto”, The Movies, or The Media. It is the parents’ fault, to a small degree, but, come on, why is everybody so afraid to blame the person that actually does the crime?
It’s not the government’s job to step in when a Wal-Mart moves into a small town and puts the little shops out of business. It’s called capitalism, live with it. If the consumers shop at Wal-Mart, it’s because they’ve got better deals, not because they’re being forced to.
There are a lot of people who are rich because they worked hard and earned their money legitimately.
The Dreamcast is a damn cool videogame system.
Nobody should use Galileo as an argument to support their crackpot ideas. “Galileo was unpopular when he was alive! And he was right all along! That means I’m right too!” You know what? For every 1 idea that’s rejected because it’s new and controversial, there are 10 other ideas that are rejected because they are stupid beyond belief.
