Wildlife Analysis posted:I just don't see the point of it. All he will post is poorly sourced and cited right-wing think tank information. It would be like me trying to argue about wolf depredation and while I am using npwrc.usgs.gov as a source, my opponent is citing wolvesarebad.miscitedstudies.org. I mean, sure, it is better than the guy that posts ihatewolves.blogspot.com, but damning faint praise etc. I just cannot see any kind of rational dialogue arising from it. He has made it pretty clear by now that he is not opposed to parting shots, either. Reminds me of a post I made on TPC when the Sheik was not banned, about getting his news from blogspot or Wordpress. Never cite anything from blogspot or Wordpress

I agree that CATO is almost always terrible (though people in D&D sure liked them when they endorsed Portugal's legalization policy) but it's a good thing to point out specific problems with the methodology, numbers and so on in addition to pointing out their funding.

Speaking of the TPC show, I was reflecting on the horror that was yesterday's show and I remembered something I wanted to share with the thread and encourage everyone to read to get a real sense of just how much is at stake with the abortion issue. There's an amazing book called The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades Before Roe v. Wade by Ann Fessler in which she has collected the stories of many women who were forced to go through pregnancies (in some cases due to rape) and give their infants up for adoption. People seem to talk about this like it's an easy thing, and it's not, it is something that has haunted many of these women their entire lives.

Vienna Circlejerk posted:Speaking of the TPC show, I was reflecting on the horror that was yesterday's show... While I agree with your larger point I think it is important to note in that same show she tacitly agreed with the idea that gays deserve to die from AIDS. Rightwing Watch posted:A candidate with a long and ferocious anti-gay record as Michele Bachmann needs a campaign chairman with a similar history of activism against gay rights. Last week, Bachmann’s campaign announced that Tamara Scott will serve as her Iowa Co-Chair, with campaign manager Eric Woolson announcing, “We are proud to have the support of an honorable conservative leader like Tamara.” Let's not lose sight of the fact that while some people may be ignorant or not put much thought into it Tamara Scott has devoted her life to letting it be known she is a repugnant human being with basically no redeeming qualities and does not deserve any benefit of doubt of not being a through and through disgusting person and is also the face of the TPC. It's the same thing as the owners of TPC, they were proud members of "Sheriff Joe's Cold Case Posse" out to prove that Obama's birth certificate was a forgery. As far as I am concerned that makes you a proudly racist loving piece of poo poo on your face and I really don't care to give benefit of doubt to your other postions on Obama's presidency because I don't care to extract the finer points of your position from the fact that you are a racist piece of poo poo that is even entertaining the idea of a massive conspiracy going back decades to make Obama president. I'm sure there are plenty of nice but just ignorant members of the TPC but the fact is they have chose to wallow with disgusting people. For me I just can't find the energy to reason with people on smaller more nuanced issues that won't even confront the idea that they are following the leadership of people that are disgusting for clear and simple reasons. I mean what serious discussion about politics is there to be had with a racist when we have a black president or on social policy with a woman that thinks that gays deserve to die of AIDS?

Gone for a couple of days, and I have so much catching up to do... TIO LOCO is a loving idiot, by the way. an impressively large percentage of the guns used for criminal purposes in Mexico are purchased at gun shows here in the U.S. The fact that you can, in some states, basically just stroll into a gun show and say "I'll take 5 of everything" and not have to go through any kind of waiting period or real background check is kind of a loving problem.

SpookyTurtle posted:Going for a silver medal in this year's Mental Gymnastics is TIO LOCO, performing a tricky gun regulation routine: To be fair however, Fast and Furious was a terrible, immoral and probably illegal program. We should all be outraged by it no matter our political affiliation. I've been watching this thread from a far for awhile now and what I have been struck the most by is the sheer amount of cognitive dissonance required to be a modern day conservative. -They stick to strict interpretations of the constitution on matters of gun control yet seem to think that freedom of religion somehow only applies to Christians and does not also establish the separation of church/state. -They want the government out of our affairs but want to outlaw gay marriage, limit access to birth control and outlaw abortion even in the most reprehensible circumstances. -Preach personal responsibility but blame the government for every failure they have ever suffered. They also seem to think the most binary of terms. Complex problems require complex solutions but they're answer to everything is either ban it or to not restrict anything at all.

We trolled on the cold site; Freezing fingers type to a ban on white. Chatting and waiting. The man in the dark in a Stetson hat, so mystic and soulful. An IRC op bans Olives of Three, reaching out in a piercing cry, It stays with you until The feeling has gone only you and I. It means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Oh Vienna, Circlejerk. The long con story is weaving Haunting memes, pizza and puppet strings, The cover is calling. Alone in the #room as the new proxy brings, A cool empty silence (except for bees). The warmth of A Predator Drone in a cold grey sky, It fades to the distazZZZZzzzZZzZZzzzz. The TROLLALERT.JPG image has gone only you and I and Wilford Brimley. Diabeetus means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Ohhhhhhh, Vienna, Circlejerk.

Well, I was having a nice discussion with some folks until Robert showed up and called me a scaredy pants. They were not condemning me to hell anyway, which was nice. I have met a few decent people on there and I just want to shake them and say, 'What are you doing here?'!! If your real goal is just less government and less taxes, find a better group than this to work on it with. (I don't know if the folks on this thread might hold other hideous beliefs, even though they treated me decent. I don't want to know. I just need to believe that there are some decent folks on there!).

HollisBrown posted:To be fair however, Fast and Furious was a terrible, immoral and probably illegal program. We should all be outraged by it no matter our political affiliation. At this point it might as well be a handbook they give out: So you want to be an American Conservative? Just pick one of the Bible, the Constitution, or Atlas Shrugged and grab a few arguments from your chosen scripture and ram them down everyone's throat with a black-and-white agenda of moral superiority! My favorite part is that, of those three and all the worthwhile material within, they choose the arguments that are least valuable to anyone. I mean hell, imagine if they went through the Bible and took away the whole "be charitable to the poor and kind to your neighbor" thing. Or the Constitution and they decided to fight for rights instead of against them. Or Ayn Rand and picked up pretty much the only worthwhile point she makes, that people are best served by exercising their intellect rather than ignoring it.

I have to admit, you guys seem to be having a lot of fun. Been reading this thread for awhile now, and I'm tempted to jump in. I have a couple of ideas for a character, what do you think? 1. Bill Sr from the Dead Milkmen song Stuart: Every so often drop lines about Johnny Werzner, my dead son, and start slowly sliding in conspiracy theories about what the queers are doing to the soil. 2. The Call Out: whenever someone makes some sly comment about race, gays, or killing Obama I come right out and baldly say what they are trying to be so clever about:  : "Whall they say the President is gonna pardon a turkey for Thanksgiving...if he came 'round here I'd show him what we do to the REAL TURKEYS with my AR-15!" : "OK, so just to clarify here, you're saying if the president came to your house you'd shoot him, right?": "Haha, no boy, I was just talking about TURKEYS, he he.": "So what is a 'REAL TURKEY?' then? Can you explain that for me? If not I'll just have to assume you're advocating harm to a public official and report you." : "HAW HAW HERE IS A PICTURE OF MOOCHELLE OBAMA AND A PICTURE OF A MONKEY": "So what you're saying is that black people are closely related to monkeys, correct?"3. Literal Liberal: The one they most fear. I think that yes, Obama is a God. I think truly he should have dictatorial powers. No reading between the lines here. I am on EBT, unemployment, and I vote for Obama for the free things he gives me. And I don't see anything wrong with it. Yes Virginia, there really is a conspiracy. Not only do I know about the FEMA camps, I'll watch with glee when they take you so-called outmoded "patriots" away. I hate the US, deep down. It's not just hyperbole, we're taking your guns. It's all true!

Some clownshoes in this thread, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, figured they'd send me PMs about how they totally figured out that I'm a goon too. I had to report them for admitting to being a troll, lest a mod read the PMs and my cover get blown. Paranoid, but it's the price of sloppiness.

There are a ton of free web proxies that you can use to register new accounts. The hardest part isn't getting around the IP ban, it is setting up the burner email accounts. I think that the tools of the trade section of the OP should be expanded to explain how to get back in the action after an IP ban. Before the first thread went up, I already had my dick cheney and Jesus Christ accounts summarily IP banned.

If your email is blah@gmail.com you can put blah+anything@gmail.com and your email address and also filter it that way. Super useful if you want a quasi-burner email address.
