It's not our fault the theists aren't here as much as we are.

And it's not their fault that we take chortled balls more seriously than gods.

Need i also point out Mins threads are honest and almost always true ( mistakes will happen ) 

PoeWooter threads were pathetic distortions or exaggerations of the article

Oh.  Right.

Sure, but for every racist conservative you find, there's multiple non-racist ones. It's a false equivocation to say that conservatives are racists. What is more accurate is that some conservatives are racist, or perhaps that most racists are conservative.

I would say that conservatism lends itself to racism. It is a political ideology that looks back to a mythical golden age* where the espousers were the masters with everybody else below them. To call conservatism racist is far mor valid than calling socialism fascist.

*These days it is tinged with a classical liberal economic policy, most likely because of Joseph Chamberlain's Liberal Unionists.

Nobody saw the need for a rule until the shoe was on the other foot. Maybe we can talk about false equivocation the next time someone brings up "white supremacy"

That was literally an example Tibs used earlier in the thread. Fuck's sake.

I just want to point out that I see a lot of "the forum has devolved," "it used to be more civil here," etc. I don't think that's entirely accurate for two reasons. 1. It has never been completely civil here or anywhere else that isn't overly modded on the Internet. Unless you're hanging out in the literal circle jerk that is Area 69 all the time, there have always been acrimonious discussions. 2. I think the devolving of political discussions into outright arguments on this forum is reflective of what's happening in the world, not something that's wrong with the forum. Everything I see here is happening everywhere, every single day. That said, I do agree that irrational being the way of the world is getting tiresome.

I'm not so much against the rule change as I am against too many rules. I hope it works out without stopping some of the more interesting threads that are by necessity vitriolic.

"Why does white supremacy get a bad rap?"  -An essay by Neo.

Wait, does this mean murder is still illegal? You mean I cant barbecue kittens? Damn people, I had a clock tower I was interested in climbing. FROTH FROTH FROTH, FOAM FOAM FOAM!

So my idea of starting "KILL EVERYONE WHO HATES ABBA" thread is out of the question?

"I WILL NOT BE IGNORED DAN!"

Can I chalk this nonsense up to sleep typing?

Murdering other forum members is strictly forbidden.

What you do in your own time off-forum is your business.

Uggggg, if ISIS members and KKK members can do it why cant I? Some people are sooooo picky.

You bury a few bodies under the floorboards of your house and everybody gets their panties in a bunch. GEEEEZE.

So some goody two shoes like you frowns on genocide too? 

I bet a Leave It To Beaver like you doesn't park in handicap spots either.

Intentions matter. Insulting people for no reason is one thing. Responding in kind to teach the other person how it feels is another thing entirely.

A: People like you are cunts.
B: None of that is true. How would you feel if I called you those things?
