Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how thoroughly good this meme is? Thank you Thumps.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

This was a bargain, made out of fear. You've done nothing to convince me otherwise.
Good glob...
Accepting one's fate means you do not fear it but have accepted it. Me calling my inevitable death fate demonstrates I donot fear death.
If you read my thread on it I never begged for my life. I simply asked for direction.
You keep flapping, I'll keep laughing.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Actually, no that's ridiculous. You're free to express your sentiments; whether someone else tells you not to listen or not is their own freedom. And it's not insulting: if you don't like offensive jokes then don't listen to them. I'm expressing my own freedom by saying that; you can't limit my freedom just like I can't limit yours.

I'm putting this post in the hall of shame with bolding added for emphasis of the particularly stupid parts.

I explained myself, whereas you're merely attacking me right now with no reasoning whatsoever. You rely a little too much on the caricature set up about me in people's minds. You encourage it further, in fact, unjustifiably so. And then you wonder I don't make an effort to correct that impression.
Or, put more simply, ad hominems. You can do better than that. Do try.
For fuck's sake grow up and grow a set. Not everything is a personal attack on you.
Get it yet? You don't mean enough to me for me to bother.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I want to make a joke about bleeding cunts, but I'm a gentleman so I won't.

There was, but I clenched and sorted it out.
