Im not disagreeing with you either cain. But it did discourage me to even attempt to talk about it. I didnt see kharas post as being a snipe at you but rather to attempt to revive a thread that you shot down pretty quickly. Just saying.

I refuse to take responsibility for how you feel about the response I provided.  I commented, I gave reasons why I felt it was a waste of time.  I wasn't preventing anyone from disagreeing, or signing the petition if they wanted to. I'm not sure what else I'm meant to do.

And Khara was trying to paint my responses as some kind of personal vendetta, which was a purposeful misreading of my statements.  Though it could just be that she's retarded.  I mean, that also explains how she ended up reading it that way.

Wait, you took this one specific line as all that?

Eh there was no reason for this thread to go the direction and tone it went.  A prime example of us sniping on each other for no real good reason.

But I'm the one who is butthurt.  No wait, I'm retarded.  



No worries then....

You Cain were nasty and sarcastic in your first post.  I actually read it big words and all.  You may not see it but it is obvious to the stupid layperson.

How, exactly?  As in, I'd like a step-by-step, logical argument to explain how this is better than doing nothing.

Note: I will not accept "giving yourself a warm, fuzzy feeling of Being Involved In Political Activism" as an argument.

And this, in what reality is that anything but nasty and condescending when RWHN was nothing but polite?

So please, yes continue to insult me if it makes you happy.  I really don't care.  

Funny how everyone loves my supposed political insight until it disagrees with their deeply cherished beliefs.  Then I'm a "cynical", "unconstructive" poster who "thinks he's so smart", with the unsaid but definitely implied statement that I aint.  

Yes, please make up stuff as you wish, none of that was said by me or in this thread.  My only problem with you was your attitude and shittiness.  I agreed with much of what you said, my problem was how nasty you presented it.  

Aren't you the one who is always whining about how other people need to toughen up and throw out liberal "fuck you!"'s to people you disagree with with?

Why, I do believe you are.  You, lady, are a hypocrite and a hack.  If I wanted to get personal and nasty with Twid, I'd be...well, kinda treating him the way I'm treating you now.  But don't let that get in the way of your clearly metasizing butthurt.

I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.  No I'm not the one who says that, I've never said that.  EVER!!  

But yes, please go on, make up whatever you wish.

Edited for my idiocy and mistake in calling Twid RWHN.

Oh bullshit.  More like your above post is a good example of you sniping on someone else for no good reason.

You want sniping?  Try this: I was talking realpolitik, the art of governance in the actually existing world.  Maybe if you ever bothered to read the vast number of posts on politics and links to other people's writing on politics, you'd understand what that was, you shallow, uncomprehending bint.

Stick to shrill one-sentence spinoffs from hype-driven media.  It's all you can handle.

Love you too Cain.  Glad you are here to tell me all exactly what is wrong with me.  

I'll stick to what you suggest, after all you are so much smarter than I can ever dream of being and you make sure everyone knows it.  

Have a nice day, try not to drown with that nose so turned up like that.  It would be a shame if the world lost your incredible genius.

Well if theres no way to do anything about it theres no point in voicing opposition. I wont bother in the future.

Short of running for public office or inheriting a mega billion dollar world influencing company there really is not a lot any of us can actually do.  Well, we can speculate on options, but that's about it.  I understand the thinking behind this petition and I think it does make people feel better to sign these because it makes them feel they've been heard.  It's a natural thing.  However, none of us know what the reaction will be from the US government or Obama to this.  We really don't.  All the politicians are stressing their popularity right now.  It might be the right time for something like this to have an impact where it wouldn't any other time in a presidential term.  You just don't know.

However now that im aware of this particular page i might have some fun making up some petitions for some odd thing or another.

You should start a pention....   
 
For stopping all radio transmissions within so many miles of cemetaries until we can see if the signals have any affect on zombies....

You know it took me a few......   

I'm not sure what everyone expected? 

I mean if we are still in a slump mid-January then yeah, it might be a cause for concern, but it's the holidays.  Hell half my customers are closed for the entire week between xmas and new years.  We are closed to business for inventory.  Kids out of school needing watching, feeding, entertaining and such. 

People are going to complain.  The Open Bar thread is closed so it will leak into other places where a spot can be found to put it.  It's human nature for many.

If you look around the board you can see that temperments are varied right now, while the actual fighting is down, there is still a lot of the bs that started this whole campaign to get PD back on track.

I for one have no problem admitting I have nothing to say. I've spent a good 10 minutes writing this post and you know, it will, like most everything I post, be ignored.  Am I butthurt?  Not anymore, I'm just resigned.  I've explained why multiple times.  It really does no good.  We're too busy bitching about each other and everything else to listen to what is being said. Maybe we should ask people specifically what is stopping them personally from contributing as they have in the past, allow them to vent and see if there is something that really does need fixing or if it's just the end of the world monkey behavior. 

What a lot don't realize is February came a long time ago for a lot of people.  While I admit there was a lot of garbage in the Open Bar thread, it did serve the purpose of keeping the resulting overflow of people's lives from leaking into other threads.  If you didn't want to read about someone's plumbing issues, or who they were currently fucking or the rest of all of it, then don't read the thread.  Damn near every person on this board has posted information in the Open Bar thread that was just too fucking personal for the consumption of virtual strangers.  I've done it and I've bitched about the shit that's been posted as well. 

There have been a few ideas put forward that while they may not have been the inspiration for world peace, they weren't garbage either.  What is happening with those?  Nothing really. Why? Do you really have to ask?

There is no one solution and as long as the sniping and sarcasm and shitting on each other continues as it has all along, even if there were a single solution it wouldn't work.  If you see someone being an ass to someone for no fucking reason call them on it.  It might be the last straw for the person they are being an ass too.  If you can't let your personal issue with someone go, ignore them.  Let it be.  We are adults.  Funny thing is, the ones who don't involve themselves, for the most part, in al lthis bullshit, are our younger members.

Or we can continue as we have and this time next year, if we are all still alive and the world hasn't ended, this place will be even more dead because doing nothing solves nothing.

There you go, what has been bugging me for a while now, watered down quite a bit.  Ignore it or rip it to shreds as you see fit.

However, not having a private toilet can explain A LOT!!  If you think about it.  How can you shit your hate if you can't even shit your shit?    No toilet is a very sad thing.

Hitler had to share a toilet with four orthodox jews.
And say what you want about kosher food, but they make for very smelly poops.

You sir, owe me a new keyboard!!!!!

I am very bad, I curse like a drunken sailor...   

My son, who is watching over my shoulder says.....  "Yeah, you say fuck way too much"!!

That's a lot of text.  Do you think you could break it up a bit more?  Put an extra [ENTER] after paragraphs, maybe?  It'll make your posts look longer, but have smaller chunks to read.  I mean, I do see that there are paragraph breaks, but, and this may just be me, it is still pretty hard to read when they are still bunched up like that.

Not just you, I couldn't get thru it even though it did catch my interest.  My brain just goes  and I keep losing my place.

Oh I've made these, but we add onion and other things in the dumplings before we boil them, then do a quick pan fry to brown.

I know this may sound completely ignorant, but I have to ask as it is the first thing that I think when I read this.  Is the US getting "tuff" now so as to maintain, put in place a military presence there?

Addendum.....

Modified to add, by there, I mean physically in Iran, not the gulf.  As I was under the imprseeion we were bringing a large majority of our troops home from the mideast.

Sorry for not being more clear.

jesus, has anyone else googled paul, ocean marketing?  Look at this shit.....  A lot is the same thing, but damn this went viral fast.

Hell, even Amazon has a customer discussion on this guy now

Damn, nice find Nigel, the kids have mentioned this controller, glad I didn't have the extra $$ to order ahead of time.

Once you get into all the articles, it seems the guy who invented this controller is not so far removed from theis Paul guy as he makes out.  Who knows what to belives

I missed this. I agree with most of it.

It would be really nice to see the constant bickering stop. Not because it's upsetting me and I'm about to "throw a Paes" or something, but because it's really just not interesting.
Surely we're all clever enough to handle conflict in a manner which is conductive to continued conversation?

I'll get to thinking on ways to get content pumping again. I've got a bunch of half-done pieces I'll be sharing, but in developing them I'm doing a lot of reading old threads for inspiration to provide useful metaphors to use, which ends up being much the same as constantly hitting refresh.

The secret to the bickering is easy, and comes right from the book.

"Oh, then stop."

If only it worked that way......   

Unfortunately it takes more than one person saying stop and that never seems to happen.
