Hairy: Upset because I pointed out the stupidity of your post? Toughen up, Elroy. Unlike you, I relegated my arguments to the post, and not the poster. You are welcome to engage in such ad hominem attacks in the pit, but I’d advise you do so with more caution. My profession is on record at SDMB, I believe I referred to it here in the pit as a matter of fact. Forgive me if I don’t see fit to answer your condescending, juvenile queries personally at this time. Suffice it to say: I don’t suffer fools gladly. If that makes me obnoxious from the vantage point of the fool, then so be it.
Actually, I’m pretty sure that the “Mexican fat burners” were in addition to the illegal(?) steroids. I asked him several times to write out the ingredient list and he got huffy and refused. Given that, and given that he said something about them making him irritable(not the exact word used) I’m pretty sure that Mexican fat burners=amphetemines(sp) (note: he denied this).
Let me explain the meaning of my original post, recreated above, since you appear to be too slow-witted to grasp it’s intent. I was making an analogy between a freshly-fertilized egg and a stem cell to highlight the irony of agonizing over killing an innocent life, when one is considering only a collection of cell matter with no central nervous system and, thus, no possibility of any consciousness. I then sarcastically alluded to the folly of prioritizing dogma over the basic rights of the victim of a violent crime. Please explain how any of this is “stupid”, oh wise sage.
"I envision an America where people don’t rape other people, and those who still do are so quickly executed that anyone else who would think about it, the thought of the impending punishment would be enough to deter them.
I also envision an America where life is so cherished, EVERYONES life, that even those who are unwantedly pregnant will spare the life of the innocent. Not an easy thing for someone to do, I know, but why are we now, as a nation more worried about the life and rights of criminals than we are about the life and rights of the unborn?"
I just have to say that this is really hard on my brain in that “I am trying to see what you mean from your point of veiw” way.
so quickly executed and everyones life is cherished really REALLY so not belong in the same argument…unless your schizzo?
Reasons I Find Hairy’s Posts ‘Stupid’ and the Poster to be Tedious (The short list) By request of the Mr. Potter himself:
[ul]-“ Hey, if stem cells have rights…” Taken literally, this is inane beyond comprehension. Harry has explained that he coded it with subtle irony. Fine, now it’s an inane strawman, as no person in the thread used an ‘all stem cells should live free’ argument to justify their opposition to abortion. Using such tactics, even if you share my opinion, is unfair to the opposition, and I’d prefer not to be associated with them.
-“are you a lawyer, or do you just behave obnoxiously as a hobby?” I don’t really take kindly to the obnoxious remark, but I’ll leave it to an attorney to flame him for the lawyer = obnoxious equation.
-“…when one is considering only a collection of cell matter with no central nervous system and, thus, no possibility of any consciousness. I then sarcastically alluded to the folly of prioritizing dogma over the basic rights of the victim of a violent crime” This… well this makes sense. You should have stated this in the first place, or used it to clarify your original.
-Actually, I’m going to cut the list short, and save my vitriol for another time in hopes that we can end this argument amicably, or at least dislike each other quietly without the continual hijacking of this thread. If you must persist, start an ‘I hate Waverly’ pit thread and I’ll drop the gloves there.[/ul]
A question I forgot to ask, Hairy: Why was your original comment directed at me anyway? It seems you wanted a response from me, which I gave. Were you agreeing with me? If so, then did you not note my problem with the inflammatory language used in pkbites post? Surely you didn’t think I’d be a hypocrite and welcome similar language from the other camp.
Might I politely point out that this is a Pit rant about Wildest Bill , those of you who are apparently absolutely fixed on having a fucking debate about abortion, rapists, stem cells and the fucking constitution - there’s a dandy whole 'nother forum for such things, and I dare say, no shortage of threads on those topics.
"and I dream of a day when a lovely pit thread isn’t hijacked into yet another fuckin’ abortion debate’.
I origiinally replied to your response, below, to my post:
HairyPotter: I encourage you to start a GD on the topic. I don’t remember there ever being one. Now quit adding to the melodrama and cease hijacking Guin’s rant. BTW got a cite for the ‘stem cell have rights’ comment? I recall limits being placed on their use, but I don’t recall the Bill of Rights being altered to include them any time recently.
I took this response to be an insulting attack. I overreacted and lost my temper. I apologize for that. Your response prior to the above response demonstrates a mature and sensible attitude. I would rather end this exchange amiably. You sound like an individual who has worthwhile perspectives to communicate.
Yes, most polite and mild mannered. I apologize to Guin for being party to the hijacking.
Wild Bill is, of course, the most loathsome sarsaparilla swilling varmint ever strap on a six shooter. May he accidentally bring his WebTV into the bath-bucket with him.
bill, Answer Ruadh’s question.
aside from that, let me tell you something. If you call Israeli terrorists “Filthy jews” if the kill Palistinians? If so you Are insulting all Jewish people, because te are from the same ethnic background as the terrorists.
If you call ETA bombers “Spick fuckers” if the detonate a car bomb in a crowded street, you are insulting to all Spanish people, because they are from the same ethnic backgound as the terrorists.
If you call the IRA “Paddy Bastards” when they kill a British Army officer, you insult all Irish people, because they are from the same ethnic background as the terrorists.
do you see where I’m going?
and to reiterate my first point, answer Ruadh’s question.
to the others,
Am I the only one that imagines WB humming Hulk Hogans theme while he posts?
It would explain that I probably have a better looking body than you.
Secondly, it was NOT speed. The reason I used “was” instead of “is” is because I am not taking it anymore. And what “it” was is called clenbuterol which is a asthma medication that has some remarkable benefits for bodybuilding. It not only burns fat it also increases muscle mass but it is not considered a steroid. Now that is a cool compound. The only problem I had because I was taking 120mcg a day is it made me irritable so I quit taking it. Now you know what I was taking - happy?
As far as the question about the abortion clinic and trade center. I will try to answer it as I understood it. If I get it wrong for some reason, I know someone will tell me that I did.
I said I understood what was going on in the minds of abortion clinic bombers. They are freak’n out that this country has stooped to the morality level it has by allowing the taking of innocent lives because it is not convienient to have them. So in their outrage because they once knew this as a moral country they lash out at the clinics(usually empty) trying to try to stop further legal murders.
Now as far the Middle Eastern fella’s that crash into big office buildings(that are very full of people)killing innocent people because of their religion. I don’t get at all other than they have a very violent religion if it indeed causes them to do such things.
So where are the bombings of prison execution rooms? Wouldn’t they want to try to stop further legal murders?
So when a secretary, a janitor, or someone walking past Planned Parenthood dies because of a pipe bomb, aren’t they innocent? It seems that there’s a very violent religion involved if it indeed causes them to do such things.
Does anyone suggest a trade?
Maybe WildestBill for Jack Dean Tyler?
Anyone miss Arg?
Maybe, WB, it would help your personality if ya’ll (yes, on purpose) started taking estrogen?
Christiananity does not support such things. These people are doing it on their own. Like I said, one more time I do not agree with what they are doing. Ok?
