You fucking morons.

The moral of this story (getting it out of the way in advance): A game’s message board is not the place for intelligent political discussion. As a matter of fact, uninformed only begins to describe it.

Case 1
I see someone has posted that they believe anti-war protests should not be allowed. The logic? They are terror targets. After being presented with the first amendment, the debate shifts topic entirely. Interesting.

Case 2
Direct quote: “Do you really think non-violent dissent is good.”
This person’s position? Non-violent dissent does not work. If we had not used violent dissent, we’d still be a colony! When I asked if this meant that I should shoot some senators if I disagree with the US government’s policy, their response was - surprise! - no. Apparently neither violent nor non-violent dissent is ok for this person.

Case 3
Quote: “I don’t agree with it and it’s nice to know that Judges are pretty “understanding” about assault charges against those who stop Flag Burners with fists.”
This person was saying that they were glad someone who beat up a flag burner got only a $10 fine. My respose was:
“You think it’s “funny as hell” that judges are giving little or no punishment to people who break the law in order to silence those who are expressing their constitutionally protected rights? You cannot possibly be serious.”

His response?

“Yes. I DO find it funny as hell.”

Draw your own conclusions.

This is not the worst. Things get much, much lower.

There are people on the sides of all of these arguments that have good points and logical, well-reasoned explanations for their positions.

I hate it when people take an I’m right, You’re wrong, no matter what stance on an issue. Really pisses me off.

I’m not going to subject you to this forum, either. You don’t deserve that.

(But I will say that the rest is mostly just a bunch of jingoistic, racist trash.)

Sometimes I forget how much I love the SDMB. Places like these remind me.

And I thought this was going to be about pre-sex IQ tests…

Ohhhh, don’t get me started on THAT one!

She said “Bring a number two pencil”.

I thought she was just being saucy.

I used to belong to Mensa. Got her phone number?

You know, I thought “Hey, that sounds just like the intro to some kinda song.” And then, well, I did it…Blues kinda riff. God help me.

The Sex-IQ Test Blues

She said “Bring a Number Two Pencil”
I thought she was bein’ saucy
I like my girls sweet, smart n’
Maybe a little bossy

I got the blues, baby
I got the Sex IQ Test blues
She said, “Until that test is done
You ain’t havin’ no fun.”
Oh, I got the blues.

She started handin’ out scratch paper
And a little Scantron sheet
Read me out the rules, and said
“Don’t dare try 'n cheat.”

I got the blues, baby
I got the Sex IQ Test blues
She said, “Until that test is done
You ain’t havin’ no fun.”
Oh, I got the blues.

The calculus had me spinnin’
English made me perspire
But what really blew my mind was
“Settin’ A Woman On Fire”

I got the blues, baby
I got the Sex IQ Test blues
She said, “Until that test is done
You ain’t havin’ no fun.”
Oh, I got the blues.

I scribbled and I muttered
And I swear I did my best
And when I turned it in for gradin’…

She said, "Baby, you look really good,

But you just can’t pass my test."

I got the blues, baby
I got the Sex IQ Test blues
She said, “Until that test is done
You ain’t havin’ no fun.”
Oh, I got the blues.

Encore! Encore! :smiley: Outstanding! I can hear ol’ BB King wailing on that, right now.

Bahaha, thank you, thank you. It was one of those things I did at 4 in the morning. I was hoping I wouldn’t wake up and go “Oh, god, did I actually post that?”

You haven’t seen anything until you’ve gone to the Ann Coulter discussion board. Liberals are traitors? HIV positive people should be required by law to wear armbands? The South should start another civil war?

I’d call them assholes, but I’m afraid my sphincter would sue me for libel.

I like the “Antiwar people should be arrested for treason” line of thinking that’s penetrated some of their skulls. Not, mind you, for protesting or anything. Just for being against the Iraq war.

I am so stealing that line.

LOL. It’s yours.
