Homophobia: Fun Fact

[daveman]

"You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies." - Oscar Wilde

One of the reasons I so decry the leftist dumbing-down of the population is because it's simply impossible now to acquire enemies of sufficient caliber. Seriously, how is one to keep one's edge when, "Well, you have a fat ass!" is the best opposition available?

At least KosherGirl got, "Die of fire AIDS!" It was pathetic, but at least it was HUMOROUS. I'm jealous. I simply cannot work with this inferior material. Oh, for a nemesis who presents more of a challenge than merely not laughing myself into a hernia, or dying of boredom.

“There is no art in turning a goddess into a witch, a virgin into a whore, but the opposite operation, to give dignity to what has been scorned, to make the degraded desirable, that calls for art or for character.”

It's been good owning you.

If you have to point out that you owned someone...


...you didn't.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Sane Americas like me are happy that the daveman's and Cecilie1200's despise us.

They are not worthy to be Americans, but this is a great country, so they belong anyway.

And they will do what the sane majority demands they do: and that's the way it is.

same could be said for cannibalism...just sayin

Actually it cannot, but nice try.

'smoking causes cancer' is technically not a true statement. Doctors can never say what causes any given case of cancer and can only say thse who smoke (or who share other risk factors) are at higher riak for cancer (that is, they are more likely to develop cancer)

Doctors cannot say that UV exposure causes skin cancer? Seriously?

UV exposure increases (statistically) the odds of exposed cells becoming cancerous- it increases one's risk/odds of developing cancer.The eact 'cause' of any given case of cancer can not be proven or stated with any certanty.

So no, they can't, but they do out of laziness and because people like you [stupid people] areincapable of grasping the distinction or understanding how such things work

You sound like those people that say evolution is just a theory.

"Owning me." It's not as funny as "fire AIDS", but at least it gave me a momentary chuckle. Especially the quote that was supposed to provide rhetorical flourish, and ended up agreeing with me. That never fails to amuse.

Run along, little one. Perhaps you'll find another baboon who thinks flashing your ass is the height of debate brilliance. The humans want to talk now.

[Cecilie1200]

And they absolutely HATE it when you tell them their most effective weapon (since they don't have facts and logic) is utterly ineffective.

ALL of their weapons are ineffective on me, because all of their weapons are dependent on emotional "thinking", which I refuse to engage in, and dependent moreover on giving a damn what leftists think of you. I consider it a badge of honor to have them hate me. The worst insult I can think of is to have one of those evil, brainless fuckwits APPROVE of me.

Most extremists feed off their emotions.

I know that leftists lie, they're just a little more subtle at it than the extreme righties.

To illustrate, one of the things that drives me absolutely nuts about my fellow Republicans is their tendency to fall for fantasy-based chain letters. I receive tons of them.

The left and the right both create their "scare" emails using factual distortions and in some cases outright fabrications, but I see far more of them from the right. Anybody who takes 15 minutes to investigate the factual basis of them can debunk them easily enough, but that doesn't stop the people who create them.

Just go to snopes and enter the word "Obama" and you'll see pages and pages of items that were debunked from fantastic chain letters. I'm in no way a defender of Obama, but when I see the number of distorted truths and outright lies that have been circulated on this one man alone though these idiotic chain letters, my head spins. I can't even keep up. Every one of them feeds off of the emotions of who are basically good-hearted patriotic Americans, but who unfortunately fall for them more often than not. I'm sorry, but I don't care what side of the political fence one rests, I think you will agree that lying is not acceptable.

Why am I condemning this in the right and not the left, you may ask? Simple. I happen to believe in the intellectual value of Devil's Advocate. This was a practice developed by the Vatican to challenge the one's assertions, and by those that agreed with the assertion. The intent of this device was, and is, to strengthen the advocates of whatever the assertion is. While I am not a Christian, I definitely recognize the genius of this development.

I don't care to strengthen the left. I would much rather strengthen the right. You have challenged me before for being too "moderate." Well, I am more moderate than yourself, this is true. But one thing you can take to the bank is that my tendency to challenge my fellow Republicans is out of love, I can assure you, even if most of them hate my guts, or at least find me extremely annoying, or even "stupid" as some of them like to call me.

It's all good. I don't mind.

I'm afraid I must disagree.

Leftists are not the least bit subtle about their lying. They are blatant, and even on occasion brag about it. There is, after all, no reason for them to be subtle. Conservatives don't believe a word they say, anyway, and their base is offended by the very idea of engaging their brains and thinking, so subtlety would be wasted on them.

And I have no idea why you're speaking to me about "Republicans", as though political party has anything to do with what I said. You will notice, if you let go of the belief that "party" is interchangeable with "philosophy", that I rarely talk about Republicans and Democrats. I am virtually always talking about conservatives and leftists (fraudulently labeling themselves "liberals"), because it is philosophy, belief, and worldview that interest me, not political affiliations.

You're correct. Cannibalism exists in MORE than 450 species of the animal kingdom.

Sad, really.

Despising him would require me to take enough notice of his existence to care about it. If that's what he believes, then once again, he's far too ambitious for his capabilities.

Just because you can't understand her doesn't mean the problem lies with her.

I understand. That interests me too.

However, that Republicans tend to the right is true, even if there is a current trend for "conservatives" to differentiate themselves. I'm glad, because I wouldn't mind seeing the wingnuts leave the party. That would be fine with me.

While philosophy and world views interest me, I am more concerned with the world actually being able to function, and I don't see extremists being capable of making that happen. They have their place, however, and it is an important one. If you see me as a wishy-washy moderate, it causes me no pain.

Anyway. Gotta run. I am unlikely to be on much if at all for several days. A joyous Yuletide season to one and all.

Again, I disagree. I think Democrats in power tend far to the left, but Republicans in power largely muddle around somewhere in the general vicinity of the middle, looking confused and hoping no one will notice them. They remind me of kids in the back of the classroom who clearly didn't do last night's reading, and are hoping the teacher doesn't call on them.

I can't honestly say that I had thought about you enough to "see" you as anything, really.

Meanwhile, if you're going to comment on my posts, you would do well to not conflate party with philosophy, because I'm quite precise in my word choices, and if I didn't say "Republican/Democrat", there IS a reason.

A merry Christmas to you, and/or whatever holiday is your choice.

No exchanges, no refunds. But I can make you a good deal on a referral to a therapist to try to wipe the image from your mind.
