I've gotten into a spat at another board that I troll. One of the admins asked what everyone thought about the election.
I responded that I was sad that so many Americans were stupid enough to vote for Bush again. I said that this is proof that most people are too stupid to actually vote intelligently. I mentioned that anyone who voted for Bush was a moron (note that BOTH admins sadly voted for Bush). I also noted that sadly, most Bush supporters seemed to be Christians, Middle Class SUV drivers, rich business owners, Gun owners, and backwards hicks.
The general response I got was that I'm an asshole (duh), that I'm generalizing about who voted for Bush (not entirely, the backwards hicks might have been generalizing, but statistically Christians, upper middle class, and the rich overwelmingly voted for Bush), and then asked me why Kerry's so much better?
To that, I don't have a great answer, besides the fact that anything's better than Bush.
I'm backed against the wall with no ammo, and I need to come out with full barrels blazing. What exactly made Kerry a better choice? What was GOOD about Kerry (seemingly not much :rolleyes: ).
And on another topic, my mother's listening to some VERY profane gansta music. Why the fuck do black people think it's so cool to swear so much and act so tough? I need a mile of duct tape and some soap here.

Can I have a link to said board? :)
-
From what I know, you actually have to be a member to read it or post.
-
So I can't join?
-
I don't think they want a bunch of people from another board coming in to troll and flame.
-
Why not? We won't tell who gave us the link.

This site will give you LOTS of very astute ammo:

I liked Kerry because he is a calm individual who thinks complex situations through and has no problem with saying that a prior decision may not have been the best in hindsight, but it was the best made on the information available and is willing to consider other options. He isn't a bigot hell-bent on "protecting" individuals from making decisions that affect their own lives, and is willing to look problems in the face and call them by their rightful names instead of throwing up smokescreens disguised as greater issues and magnifying them with fearmongering. He realizes that wars are fought by armies of individuals conglomerated into cohesive units, and said units will vanish without more individuals to replace them; therefore keeping good relations with strong allies who have lots of people in their armies is a good idea.
Unfortunately, in a country paralyzed by panic and seeing evil men in turbans behind every wall conspiring with gay couples trying to hypnotize Our Children by waving a marriage certificate so they can steal their stem cells, a little more than half the voting population decided that guns, bombs and the mouth of Those In Power firing off at any threat, real, perceived, or otherwise, will Keep Us Safe.
I disagree. :angry:

Heh, I love that Tom Tomorrow comic they had. (http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=18049)
Oh, and I got this message when I logged onto their board:
Your warning level has been raised as a result of your post in the General Discussion area regarding the following statement:
"And of course, our beloved Board leader, Kyley, has admitted she voted Bush. Thank you. There's a possibility you've doomed our country.
If anything bad happens, I'm coming to Texas to kick your ass."
If you post in such a manner in regards to members posts again, you will be summerily banned and reported to your ISP.
Your IP address as of this posting was **.***.***.*** and has been recorded. This will be your only on this subject and there will be no hesitation in the future to take action should you violate this again.

Oh dears, I threatened to kick one of the Admin's asses cuz she voted for Bush, IF Bush fucked up the country even more. And now they might report me to my ISP. I'm scared now.
Eh heh. Let's not mention she lives in TEXAS and the possibility of me kicking her ass is remote.
I'm starting to like this board less and less. It's more dead than this place, the people are usually uber-cheerful to the point of insanity, and half of them are die hard DBZ fans *GAG*
Have fun, if you wish. :/ (http://broken-image.com/forums/index.php)?

o.O where's the register link?

What's wrong with guns?!
-
Nothing wrong with guns if you use them properly and don't let your kids or angsty teens play with them.
That was a reference to a letter I got from the Michigan Republicans and the Michigan chapter of the NRA denouncing Kerry's stricter gun control laws, saying they take away hunters freedoms. And then the letter went on about how much Bush supports gun owners.
It didn't change my mind.
I came back on to say that if you guys DO get on this board, don't turn this into a flamefest or a board invasion. I don't want you guys fucking around and screwing up another board by coming in masse and launching massive flamewars. The only reason I made this topic was for suggestions on rebuttals to their arguements, especially them demanding reasons Kerry would make a good president.
BTW, there is a Dangerous D name there that's not me. I'm Leonis. The one they say is whining on my Livejournal about the board.
Still think it's funny that admin threatened to ban me and report me to my ISP for a vauge threat to the other admin in Texas. She lives to far away, there are plenty of Repubican fodder around here to target. Plus, my ISP will probably not give a shit anyway.
-
What the hell could they do? nothing. Fuck her and fuck whoever else wants to get raped by Bush's monkey dick.
-

Another board? What was the first?
And this is just another thread where you ask for suggestions and then no matter the outcome, blame us for it and whine. No thanks.
As an admin, that chick has every right to warn you. If don't want them to, either try being more eloquent and mindful of their opinions or leave that board.
-
Another board? What was the first?
I second the query. I'm drawing a total blank.
-
It must've been one of the many places we regularly go to on a whim and flame away, completely disregarding the circumstances.
-
I actually do that :(
-
Why?
-
Maybe I was thinking of another board. I don't think we have ever invaded another board and flamed it to death.
Maybe just for fun, we should pick a random board with views we don't agree with (like maybe a Bush loving board, or a Neo-Nazi board, or something) and invade them.
So far I haven't gotten banned from the other board, seems the main reason they're angry at me is they think my comments about Bush voters being stupid inbred hicks are immature and rude....
....Still doesn't change my mind that I think most Bush supporters are flaming idiots. :P
And fear not Nuri, I'm not going to blame you and whine. I think what Bernie gave above will be good enough.

I thought someone hear liked Bush, ya know, in a sexual way.

Are you trying to state I'm a nazi?
*tatoos nazi symbols on his arms* fuck the Jews! :ph34r:

Tell me you wouldn't do the same if you're were in office figthing a war (the logistics of why and how aren't relevant, just put yourself in the position), and someone was undermining your efforts, who was supposed to be on your side (the nation you love). Tell me you wouldn't do the same.

Nope.

Bush considers "disagreement" & "disloyalty" synonyms.
The following sums up my feelings on that matter:
To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
In case anyone is wondering what radical, America-hating leftist said that, it was
Teddy Roosevelt in 1918.
-
He was the LAST great republican. Taft's idiocy overtook the party, and left it with what we have today :(

I agree with that. Then there's only one solution... bring back Zombie Roosevelt. We'll call him Zomvelt. I made that up myself.
-
I wish. I always put him when I get one of those ghey "who are your heroes" questions. Also, love telling Republicans that the best President we ever had was Republican, but we'll never see the likes of Teddy Roosevelt again. There's nothing they can say, which is always a plus in my book.
:D He even has a smilie! :D
-
They even named a stuffed bear after him. Teddy = Bear. Bush and Dick = ...... It's digusting! I feel the need to wash my keyboard off with soap.

It wasn't even a problem until Ronald Reagan invented homelessness.
