by the way I haven't actually received my roger dollar yet, I just know it's going to be awesome because look at all the reviews from happy customers on his website!  Reviews are important!  Educate yourself!

dude Roger has the best dollars.  You should def buy Junk's secret to getting them on the cheap.

There's another guy around here claiming to have his own secret to Rogers Dollars for sale for cheaper, but my friend tried both and Junk's secret is way better and will save you more in the long run!

I have personally had conversations with Nightshade in which he ardently defended the position that it is not wrong for adults in their 30's to have sex with teenagers under 16.

Ah, in that case yeah, that pushes the creep-o-meter well past scary.

He always worded it as a hypothetical and claimed that he himself does not want to have sex with underage teens.

However, legal disclaimers aside, I find it very strange for an adult who is not a developmental researcher to be as preoccupied as he was/is with the sexual expression of children. He may not be a child molester or a statutory rapist, but I wouldn't be comfortable allowing  him around my kids.

Absofuckinglutely.   

I now understand the allegations and like TGRR...



I'm out.

Oh I absolutely agree.  However, the argument is sound on its own merit, just ignores that reality is not that simple and the problem is not so straightforward.

While the cumulative effect of what you quoted along with other things put on the internet by Uncle BadTouch does very much lend a strong pedo vibe to my perceptions of the person, there's still a fallacy here.

It's true that some folks use arguments much like what you quoted to excuse some fucked up shit.  That doesn't make anyone who makes that argument automatically involved with said fucked up shit.

It's like how lots and lots of people use the "self defense" defense falsely to try and avoid a murder conviction.  It happens, some get away with it some do not, but no matter how many people falsely claim self defense, that does not mean that anyone who claims self defense is just trying to escape a murder conviction.

I've made a similar point to the text you quoted in real life, to justify allowing my sister to have her 17th bday party at my house with alcohol (with many safety rules in place and myself in sober attendance) even though the legal age for alcohol is 21.

I don't like being in the position of defending this person who does in fact seem creepy in the way he's been accused, but I also don't like the idea of labeling someone 'pedo' based on what appears to be a creepy vibe and heavy speculation.

Either way Uncle BadTouch has definitely done some stupid, pretentious, thieving bullshit so fuck him anyway.

I still haven't seen why you guys call LS a pedo but he's definitely enough of a tool to avoid his BS.

It was due to a few essays on his old site.

I tried to find those but that website is very off-putting.  I choose instead to take your word for it.

I'm also curious, the pdf in the OP used the term "Stfupid Cabal" in what I think was a reference to PD.  I know Hate Rant Discordians is from Uncyclopedia, but what is "Stfupid Cabal" from?  Was that made up specifically for this issue of Intermittens?

I suspect this is the relevant link hxxp://www.uncle BadTouch.org/5bb/belief1.html

And if it's not what they're referencing, I don't want to see the worse thing.

If that's the source of the pedo comments, I am more confused than ever.

That article seems to be mostly about maturity vs age.  It even makes a couple of decent points, though the writer seems to have not thought some of the other points through well enough.  The only reference to sex I can find in there is the part about age of consent in CA differing significantly between males and females.

There is a cumulative vibe when combining that articles and other LS materials i've seen elsewhere that is definitely uncomfortably skeevy, but I see nothing in that article that warrants accusations of pedophilia.

I have however seen other articles of his that toy with the concept of getting young girls pregnant in a way that comes off... uncomfortably.  I don't really have the word ("ick", maybe) and while it's enough that I wouldn't want the guy teaching at a highschool or something, the amount of direct pedo accusations seemed to suggest something much more concrete than anything I've read on the guy so far.

Alright, looks like this guy may be one of us:

What all this adds up to is a large group of people who are convinced they are being rebellious by taking part in the most normal activities possible, while trying to spread their false discord by kindertrolling their own choir. And as if all of this attention seeking juvenile behavior were not obvious enough, Disco Trolls often appear to be emotionally damaged and self-esteem deficient individuals who use blatant hyperbolized sexuality to booster their frail egos. Sharing nudes with strangers online is not edgy sexuality, it is a desperate plea to get attention with the least amount of effort

Who's on the outreach committee nowadays? Trix?

Where is the quote from?

We have an outreach committee?  I'm on it?

Well, I love committees so yeah sign me up.  Sitting around wasting time pretending to make decisions?  RIGHT UP MY ALLY!

EDIT:  Found the post you were replying to.  My mistake.

That article is interesting.  I agree the guy needs to meet the HATE RANT Discordians.

[not funny]

Personally I would wait to see if the user does anything destructive or problematic before breaking out the banhammer but I am not an admin nor a mod nor do I really care enough.

I read through the issue more thoroughly, rather than just kind of generally looking it over as before.  It seems well put together, and the style takes after the PD, and it includes a lot of silly which I personally have a large amount of respect for.

Unfortunately, none of the above makes up for the fact that it is also boring, uninteresting, clearly trying to namedrop all over the place, and worst of all, not funny.

As a Discordian Project, I was biased in its favor.  I really wanted to like it.  But it's not funny AT ALL.  Like, not one single grin, laugh, smirk, smile, chuckle, or whif of wit is present.

The Principia Discordia, which has the over-the-top silly vibe throughout, provided a couple dozen true laugh-out-loud moments for me, because I'm that easy to amuse by being silly.  Not so for this issue of intermittens.  There was no Holy(tm), there was no Funny, there was no Horrormirth, there wasn't even much Mirth, and what was there felt strained.

Also, now that I spend a very long period last night reading his tripe, I can say without a doubt this issue smells of that group strongly.

And the only PDer they mention directly in the issue (aside from Cram) was TGRR, who I doubt would want his name anywhere in that issue for any reason, given the background.

I still haven't seen why you guys call LS a pedo but he's definitely enough of a tool to avoid his BS.

Trix, you should really educate yourself on the Uncle BadTouch drama.  Just drop his name into the site search engine and go.

But to give you a hint, it involves...not cool views on underage sex dressed up in Discordianism, theft and self-promotion.

Ok, I tried.  I really did.  I read all seven pages of his posts from his profile.  I forum searched his name.  I google searched his name in relation to PD.com.  I read tons and tons and tons of posts.  I did not find this an enjoyable passage of time.  I saw lots of shameless self-promotion from a giant douchebag.  I saw lots of accusations of thievery and lots of pedo accusations.  I was however unable to find the source of either of those.

This was unpleasant, and my curiosity remains unsatisfied.   

Uncle BadTouch aside, is there anything else in this issue you find disagreeable?

Didn't even look.  Leaving the post and link up, but the Uncle BadTouch alt has been banned.

So you banned the OP?  Are you certain that was a Uncle BadTouch alt or just strongly believe so?

Still reading up on the LS drama

Uncle BadTouch aside, is there anything else in this issue you find disagreeable?

Personally I don't know a lot about the Uncle BadTouch drama so I can't speak to it, but I enjoyed this issue of Intermittens.

I don't think a Loveshader made it, as I would expect a completely different tone to it if that were the case.

So to this specific PDF, was anything in it stolen, plagiarized, or otherwise immorally obtained?

Because if not, bravo!  A good issue.

The Uncle BadTouch person sounds like an ass, and while I'd probably avoid paying for, or contributing anything to, the works of a material thief... neither are required to enjoy this issue of Intermittens.

Consequences. 

If Clinton wins, things will continue more or less along the same route it's already on, rich get richer poor get poorer big business grins and poor families weep.

If Trump wins, one way or the other a whole lot more of actual American lives will get much, much worse.

Since at this point voting any other way will do exactly squat for this election it seems a very clear vote.

Normally elections are (as South Park hilariously noted) Giant Douche vs Turd Sandwich.  But, this election, is between Giant Douche and the fucking KKK.  Not that extreme you say?  Look at a Trump rally.  ANY Trump rally.  What do you think the more aggressive, racist, and homophobic types from those rallies will do once their racism, homophobia, and other socially reprehensible traits become represented at the Presidential level?  I'd bet my white, male, privileged ass that I'll start hearing 'nigger' and 'spic' and other racial slurs start to become more common at the very least.  And the violence against homosexuals, minorities, etc?  Yeah, pretty much guaranteed to escalate.

I'm trying to understand.  I really am.  I agree with you that the characters themselves are more for show than anything.  That does not make them unimportant.

"Ron Paul"

I don't like any of the candidates and have no solid feelings about it one way or the other.  I'm voting for Clinton for one, specific, pretty important (IMHO) reason:  Trump is insane.  Not in the "whoa man that's INSANE" sort of way, but more in the bat shit crazy, lost touch with reality, complete lack of rationality kind of way.

I watched several of his debates, I've read his website thoroughly.  With open eyes and no preconceptions.  The man is fucking insane.  He's lost it.  He's clearly on drugs (and I mean DRUGS not like, smokes some pot) and has absolutely no concept of reality whatsoever.  Clinton at least makes lip service towards understanding the real world, even if her bubble is still pretty small.  Trump, on the other hand, is absolutely, clearly, FUCKING BATSHIT.

Just listen to the shit he says and does.  This isn't "bad at speaking" or "bad at public appearances" or even "media taking it out of context or too far" but actual, literal, verbal insanity for anyone to hear.

THIS is why I can't understand Trump supporters.  Even if all of his ideas on running the country were perfect, which they are far from, the man himself is batshit crazy and as president could do ANYTHING.  I do not want an American Kim Jung Un as president.  Clinton sucks but at least her motivations are clear.  Money, power, elite connections.  She will shit on us.  Trump, on the other hand, is all ego and ignorance and can literally get us all killed.

I've seen you debate specific topics Trump vs Clinton and that's fine, but what is your response to the simple fact that you are supporting someone that is clearly, completely fucking drug-addled insane in a way that makes Putin look like a man of the people?

I could post a whole bunch of videos of his insanity to prove my point but that would be like digging out a bunch of videos to prove Hillary Clinton has two arms.  It's fucking OBVIOUS.

Hating Clinton, I totally understand.  Thinking a deranged racist failed-businessman clown-god would do better, I do not understand.

I don't think you are stupid, "Ron_Paul", but I definitely don't understand at all where you are coming from here.

There are episodes that are dull and episodes that get my gizzard, but I still quite like South Park.

Many of the jokes are stupid and I sometimes disagree with the point it's trying to make, but a lot of it manages to be fucking hilarious, even while they're making a stupid point.

My brother hates it though.  He only liked it the first couple seasons, which I liked at the time but when I try to watch now I just cringe.
