fursmbrero posted:I would just mace them. Can't do that in Australia, pepper spray is illegal.  Which, on a serious note, is the other extreme of this second amendment debate, and it really does suck. I quit my job recently, but until then, I worked a poo poo-ton of overtime as a state police constable. My girlfriend is a tiny Asian lady. She's taken some Muai Thai classes, but, I mean, she considers being able to do one single push-up one of her recent accomplishments. I mean it. One. There's no way she'd really be able to defend herself against a determined attacker with her bare hands if he was any bigger than her, and being away from home a lot, that's really made me worried sometimes. She knows well enough how to use a gun and is smart enough to do so responsibly to defend herself in our home. I'd greatly prefer that to the bat that currently sits in our living room for this purpose. I'm all in favour of banning fully automatic weapons and oversized magazines, but we can't have so much as a shotgun or handgun. I mean for god's sakes, we can't legally own pepper spray and some of my knives are technically illegal. So yeah, not everyone who thinks the second amendment is important is a total loon. Just something to think about in light of the Tea Party nutjobs.

He sounds a bit nutty, but there may be hope for him. I assume he's against legislating restrictions on other people's reproductive and marriage rights? If he's just paranoid and not hateful or bigoted he could conceivably end up alright.

Perhaps if he had not dropped out of Kindergarten, before they taught the rest of us to play nice with each other and share the Playdoh.

I think I read in a D&D thread that the right-wing talking heads are better at being on target with the kind of almost-witty, playground-esque slurs that stick in an audience's mind like the best (worst) kind of advertising campaign. ("Obummer", for example? That was the work of a sharper mind; all the fun of calling a black man a lazy bum in one catchy little word.) At a guess I'd say the community has picked up the pattern but lacks technical knowledge of how to apply it. Like the Space Odyssey monkeys circling the monolith.

Hazo posted:It takes either some big balls or some incredibly tiny amount of self-awareness to say "No racism plz" and immediately post something super loving racist. It's too bad Guzda is too much of a coward to make his profile public because I'd really like to burn an account asking him to thoroughly explain the joke, then watching as he sidesteps how much of a racist shitlord he is. When a TPC account is private you can't see their thread even if you post on it when it was visible on the global feed, although you still get the notifications. However, since it is such a crappy piece of code, you CAN post on comments to a photo. So wait until he posts one of his racist photos on the global feed, then start a comment thread. Right click on the photo to go to it and bookmark it, you can get back to it later. Burn him up.

Instead of trying to self-reflect when receiving criticism or a poor reaction to something you said, the tea partier answer is to act like a schoolchild and fool yourself by pretending that you somehow 'won' at something by being called out for racism. Or to try to flippantly attack the person who called you out. Once again...Putting this on the ever-growing pile of "tea partiers are weak-kneed dishonest individuals can't look you in the eye and be honest" evidence.

Boooooooooooooooo >:| They called a truce, saying goons were free to post our opinions and debate there as long as we were upfront about who we were and didn't post porn. They changed their minds, cancelled the truce, and banned a bunch of us less than an hour later. So porn is less taboo now than it's ever been. Go nuts. For the IP ban, try a proxy like Stealthy.

Every Teabagger secretly wants to be li'l Rush Limbaughs or Ann Coulters and stick it to liberals. Therefor, being called a racist is a win. I'm surprised I haven't seen a strain of "Yeah, I'm not really racist and everyone knows liberals are the real racists, but if I'm in the company of libtards I'll drop a few N bombs just to piss 'em off  " bullshit yet, honestly.
