For those of you who think we are nasty here on R/T

[edhopper]

Just go to GD and post something that is anti-smoking.

Just saying.


Meant to lighten things up.

[Boojatta]

1. Now you need to tell me ...

Is this something that belongs in the "anti-smoking" category?

[edhopper]

2. No

It's when you agree that governments should limit or even ban smoking that the knives come out.

[darkstar3]

3. Anti-smoking, pro-rottweiler, or

you don't even have to post something that is "anti" or "pro" to get labelled and flamed. Just post how you like to buy things based on their value instead of based on their origin, and you're anti-union. Express the fact that you don't think citizens are safe and smart enough to handle heroin and suddenly you're pro-drug-war.

There's a reason the initials are GD: If haven't said "goddammit" while looking at that forum at least once, you haven't spent more than 5 minutes there.

[edhopper]

4. WHAT?

You think heroin should be legal? You stinking hippie! Don't you know what heroin does to people or where it comes from? You are no better than the drug dealers who push this shit on kids. Why don't you go smoke some pot go to WalMart and let people who know about the perils of drugs like heroin first hand do the thinking. You moron.










Something like that? :D

5. My circumcised rottweiler attacks anyone who smokes or breastfeeds at Olive Garden. n/t

[darkstar3]

7. Yes, but does she do it while high?

[skepticscott]

6. The general rule there seems to be

"Passion before thought"

[laconicsax]

8. ...or read GD:P from the primaries.

:nuke::nuke::nuke:

[edhopper]

9. True

we got nothing on the Hilary/Obama debates.

[Meshuga]

11. Flame wars more than debate I would say

The same was true back in the 2004 primaries with the Kerry crowd vs Dean crowd. Primary season is probably the toughest time for the DU admins.

10. If you set foot in walmart, you are evil and you have sold out.

And we are only supposed to live in approved liberal zones. The only acceptable place to live in Texas is Austin, apparently.

We are supposed to buy all our veggies at farmers' markets, drive an electric car, ONLY if we can't take the bus or subway (that's why we are supposed to live in those approved liberal zones).

We must compost, grow our own veggies in our spare time, after our 8 hour job & raise chickens and goats and pigs.
Even those of us who grew up in the city and know nothing about raising farm animals.

Sometimes the goddamn hippie vegans just hack me off.

[Ninjaneer]

12. + 1

[edhopper]

13. Let see

you are evil to shop in Walmart. It was evil to do business with Nazi Germany too.
Austin is the only city in Texas a decent person would live.
It would be nice if you could, farming can't be that hard if all those redneck crackers can do it.

If you are not part of the solution... Power to the People... and other hippie stuff.

[skepticscott]

14. The bus is a sellout too

You are required to ride your bike 20 miles to work when it's 8 degrees out, or you are not a true progressive.

[edhopper]

15. I actually did this for ten years

at a job I had.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

The Fucking Hippies were right!

[Ninjaneer]

16. Was it inside an Escher painting where

both ways were up hill :D

[edhopper]

17. Up and downhills

both ways. Just because your are a lard-ass who has to drive his SUV everywhere, doesn't make us eco-commuters weirdos.

[Ninjaneer]

18. It was a joke, no offense meant, sir.

I drive a little civic. I don't think eco-commuters are weirdos.

[edhopper]

21. I was hoping

my over the top responses would be seen as the joking they were meant to be.
Hard to convey tone on the internets.:shrug:

[Ninjaneer]

22. Ah, gotcha.

My sarcasm detector is currently out for repairs.

Flying blind right now, so to speak.

[edhopper]

26. I find

putting the :sarcasm: tag on posts ruins the joke.

[Deep13]

20. Great, you might as well eat at the Olive Garden too.

:evilgrin:

[Ninjaneer]

23. Whats wrong with the Olive Garden?

:o

[Deep13]

24. Apparently only commercial culture sell-outs...

...eat at chain restaurants or shop at big box stores or whatever.

[edhopper]

28. It's really crappy

Italian food.

[Deep13]

19. "Lighten?" Is that some kind of pro-smoking snark?

:evilgrin:

Try going into the guns forum and saying that there is no Constitutional right to own a gun.

[TZ]

25. I'm not sure why anyone things R/T is any different than any message board

anywhere. Its pretty typical of every internet place I've seen. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has them. And there are many of both here...:)

[edhopper]

27. Great snarky broadside.

Many of us here do not simply submit "opinions' but engage in a debate based on reason, facts and critical thinking.
Your opinion matters as much as you state it does.

[Deep13]

29. Those are the ones the religious complainers are objecting to. nt
