Oh yeah, like that’s gonna happen.
No, please, really, tell us how you thought this was going to work out . . . we could all really use some more laughs!
CMC fnord!
humanafterall’s morality:
Chinese people dying: Very ethical
Better environmental policy, workplace health & safety policy, workers’ rights …
Dammit, I’m trying to do some damage control! I do NOT want people to die! The Chinese people are great and wonderful and cool and all that.
Oh, so now you care more about the Chinese than your fellow citizens! Your moral compass is spinning.
Dude, just give up. Start slamming yourself if you want to recover from this at all. We can all understand having big self-inflicted wounds.
Thanks for playing.
What, you think I’m not already slamming myself for poor impulse control? I go around and start posting stuff that doesn’t make sense after I watch the damn news and hear a story that gets me upset. That day, some guy on MSNBC was discussing the fact that the gap between rich and poor was getting larger, and slamming corporate execs. I automatically assumed that outsourcing and free trade were to blame, and so I picked on the country that owns our jobs and our debt. I should just stop paying any attention to the news altogether.
I’m not a liar, I’m just impulsive.
Why did you lay into XT? I gotta say he’s one of the least annoying, and most even tempered and thoughtful people on the SDMB. Now you’re turning on me, and I’m giving you half a chance. Just say “I fucked up. I’m sorry.” Next time start with “Here I go again”, or try “Please explain to me…”.
Or maybe you should learn something about how trade works. Just a crazy though.
Alright. I’M SORRY FOR BEING A FUCKING MORON!
Still the attitude. Try again.
Yeah, I fucked up and I’m sorry for that. It’s not the first time I fucked up royal, and it probably won’t be the last.
There you go 
Now take pride in how big the fuck up was. It’s not easy to fuck up in a really big way. Most people couldn’t manage it if they tried.
And this cross forum conversation is kind of fun.
The only reason it irks me is because I’m a Freemason. Not just any Mason, I’m a Mason of the 3rd Degree. I’m supposed to keep my passions in due bounds and circumscribe my desires and all that. I just have a hard time doing it.
What the…?
Well you just jumped the shark there. I have to assume this is all a load of crap, or you have less sense than is apparent already. Why on earth are you hanging around with a bunch of old men? My grandfather was a shriner, but I think he gave it up when they invented talkies.
It’s partly because Freemasonry is kind of a family legacy, and I’m very proud of my family, so I’m happy to continue the tradition, along with my dad, who’s in the same Lodge as me.
See my GD post. It’s not working out for you. Try something different. You can go back when you get older.
What server do you play on?
