Is this insult too suble?

"The best cure for being liberal is a complete lobotomy."

Follow-Up:

"Fortunately for those who like balance, Fox News gets plenty of volunteers!"

:rofl:

I crack myself up. Whew! :)

1. How about "IS THAT where FOX SnewZ gets its' audience?"

[Th1onein]

2. I don't know about "suble," but it IS too subtle.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

3. So, the dude says that Conservatives have been lobotomized?

My comeback, "This is true. The best way to turn someone Conservative is to remove most of their brain."

8. are you brain damaged? equating brain damaged and stupid is

stupid. if that insults you, "tough cheese."

9. Ack

I have no idea what you are talking about and to be honest, I'm not sure I care.

* not worried about punctuation, grammar or spelling thank you very much.

10. i'm not surprised you might not care. btw, the edit was mine. nt

[SmileyRose]

11. Normally I would care

but the twisting around of what I said completely out of anything close to what I meant and then using that as a weapon kinda makes me not want to care.

12. "If someone is insulted by it tough cheese. " your cold, hard

words.

"People with brain damage tend to be more conservative"
is, simply, not a fact. there are infinite forms of brain damage, and not so many that alter values, ethics and worldviews, much less intelligence.

you equate brain damage with ignorance.
that is cruel to the brain damaged, which i am. then you say if i am insulted by that, "tough cheese."
then you tell me my expressing why you're wrong (though this thread was specifically about lobotomy, which i'd already addressed), and why it hurt, is my using that as a weapon.

it is you who was aggressive against me, and told me "tough cheese" if i was insulted.

i would hope you and other DUers would care about being mentally cruel, but your words showed such insensitivity that i was not surprised to have you come back aggressively at me.

maybe you really do care? if so, maybe you want not to call my hurt "tough cheese"?

thank you for trying more, though.


peace

15. ...

To take a clumsily worded post and twist it around as some sort of slam again someone with a genuine disability is unnecessary. To twist it as some sort of slam against you personally (I can only assume you've suffered damage to your brain) was unnecessary.

I will own that it's a clumsily worded post. But the problem is all yours.

[nofurylike]

16. wow. wow. the problem is in the objector to the insensitive words?

if you had not been so vicious in how you preemptively slapped down those who might be hurt by your post, it would have been a chance for me to express that your words had been, as you say, clumsily worded.
what you did say was cruel, and i have explained why. you warned in advance: 'tough shit if it hurts you.'

remember, too, that you posted in stern support of an OP that had already set the offensive, and hurtful tone, which i had already posted an objection to.

yes, as you might notice in my previous reply to you, i said i am brain damaged. but i post on behalf of all brain damaged people who are continually misjudged - and just about always made wrong for taking exception to it (as happens to most who protest prejudice).


thank you for reading.

5. is that a quote of yourself? if so, do you think torture would turn

("cure") *you* from being a liberal?


excuse me, that was presuming you are a liberal. do you think torture changes values, ethics, worldview?


lobotomy is torture for life, and is done as such.


you know, lobotomy victims exist.

6. Oh yeah? Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of YOU!

Just kidding. Your comeback was very good.

Liberalism requires a modicum of functioning gray matter; conservatism has no such requirement.

7. It works to confuse them which is always good
