Banned/Censored in the USA

How can anyone not like one of the "most well-respected posters"...such meanies .

 

Oh, I doubt that winning poster of the year last year had anything to do with it, if that's your implication...

 

Would someone be so kind as to share this accidental post with the rest of us?

 

Not really any of our business, is it?

 

I always figured they were very libertarian-minded. Many political posts are completely asinine, but few are removed from the board. Mods let readers make up their own minds. They only remove the really offensive stuff, and that's essential to a healthy message board.

I think that's pretty dang cool.

 

Cool. I do know of a couple of conservative mods, but your take as an overall is probably accurate. Whether right r left, I am pretty sure that most mods who were vocal leading up to and during the early days of the war were in favor, but that may not have been an indication of an overall leaning, as much of the country agreed at the time.

 

I think most people consider themselves rather middle of the road -- perhaps a little to the left or right.

Of course, we vary strongly in what we consider middle of the road...

 

Why would anybody want to be middle of the road? That's where you get ran over.

 

Pogue Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
Private Joker: A peace symbol, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Joker: I don't remember, sir.
Pogue Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Joker: "Born to Kill," sir.
Pogue Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?!
Private Joker: No, sir.
Pogue Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant **** on you!
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Pogue Colonel: The what?
Private Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Whose side are you on, son?
Private Joker: Our side, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Don't you love your country?
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
Private Joker: Yes, sir!
Pogue Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
Private Joker: Aye-aye, sir.

 

It's linked to at the begining of the thread.

 

Neither of those is a news article, though.

 

I think we need to have a fistfight.

To the death.

 

TJ: Don't assume this is your opportunity to pile on or that somehow now this vindicates you. At our monthly moderators golf and pizza outing in Lake Tahoe, I can assure you that when it comes to posters being named in terms of the aggrivation they provide to moderators, you are well represented.

 

What were those giant Q-Tips on the original Star Trek called? The dueling weapons?

 

Pretty sure they were just called Giant Q-Tips of Death.

I bet Trader_Jorge knows.

 

Were you the moderator that made the "accidental" post?

 

I want a Giant Q-Tip of Death!!!

 

Anybody who has not been participating like me, go back and read this thread from beginning to end.

It makes zero f-king sense.

zero.



I tried to follow some of the subtext and psychodrama but my vestigial extra rectum exploded.

 

Sounds like someone needs to have rocks thrown at him.

 

You wouldn't throw rocks at a man wearing contacts and about to go into septic shock due to exploding rectums...would you?
