Well, there’s this guy prisoner6654321 (or something) who’s held up _Leave it to Bever_ as an example of a past we should be moving forward to, as opposed to backward to an uncertain future that includes gay marriage and women continuing to work outside the home. Seriously. That’s how his sense of direction works. ---

Care to put your money where your mouth is and participate in those threads, fight some ignorance, prove why we’re wrong about Bush, Iraq, etc…? ---

Someone who argued that the whole middle-east should be changed into a radioactive wasteland. Besides that, several people who supported torture, genocide, dropping nuclear bombs, ethnic cleansing… By the way, since we’re in the pit, I would note that one of our ethnic cleansing/nuclear bombings champions is currently explaining in GQ that one of the advantages of lucid dreams is that you can indulge in unrestrained violence and rape. How comes I’m not surprised? ---

S/He’s new here so maybe we should cut them some slack, but a new member by the name of **Graycat** said the following in response to the OP’s rant about screenames that note the posters relationship to their kids: > [@](#): > > I have seen a couple of vanity plates like that at my kid’s school. I think it is pathetic. What, you don’t have any other identity of your own? Stepford moms. Let me note again that the poster’s name was Gray **cat**. Does that make them a Stepford pet owner, with no identity of their own? :rolleyes: [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=286825&page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-most-asinine-statement-youve-ever-seen-posted-on-the-sdmb/276001.md?page=2)
