I would just like to point out to everyone this common left-wing tactic in use above. Putting words in someone's mouth, then calling them disgusting. Note the constant race-based thoughts. The technical term for this is "psychological projection". What happens is that the subject has unacceptable thoughts, and to relieve the tension the subject projects those thoughts on others and then accuses the other of being bad. It happens all the time. Now that you know what to look for, you'll start seeing it daily.
And we will completely fail to notice that Russia, unlike Austria-Hungary, lacks a huge neighbor with a professional military that is 100% willing to go to war on her behalf. Nope, good enough for people who got Cs in history!
LOL no, asshole is for men. If you want to insist that we retcon this and pretend it never happened...then sure, we have always been at war with Eurasia.
There are some truly closed minds here among people calling them selves Liberals, Libertarians and Progressives.
You're just now figuring this out today?
Stop being small minded lovers of doom!
That's what these people do. The central thesis is that we are bad and need to be destroyed, and they're just the ones to do the job. Again, not sure how in 2014 anyone isn't familiar with this very common outlook.
Are you still dancing on that woman's grave? Jeez, conservatives didn't celebrate this much when Joseph Freaking Stalin died.
Didn't Hate Week sate your hatred? You know, the week after she died when you had hate parades to show just how much you hated her. No, seriously, this really happened. Hate parades.
I used to think the way you do. However, I see you haven't read any modern history books.
It is entirely acceptable and normal to sit back in your armchair and judge a medieval society for failing to uphold politically correct standards that did not exist 25 years ago. You don't believe me? Ha! Do some reading. I wish I was joking. I am not.
I see we are out of touch with the "human rights" crowd.
Cause and effect. People have learned that applying the "human rights" label greatly helps win whatever your argument is. Talking about actual abuse? Passe. Talking about a web browser being a human right? Absolutely on-topic. Denying the right to a web browser? Morally equivalent to ordering the People's Security Bureau to round up all suspected dissenters for 20 year prison terms.
The perspective that's lacking is yours. Get with the program. Human rights are whatever helps you win the argument of the day. That old stuff - leave it in the 80s where it belongs.
So, in a "sane" world, people should be subject to arbitrary violence merely due to their political beliefs? Do you or do you not recognize the huge amount of cognitive dissonance between "celebrate diverse points of view" and "murder people who don't share my views"? Or is this just the way things work in societies dominated by left-wing nutbags? Because the 20th Century provided many examples of such regimes doing precisely that to right-wingers and anyone else who dissented.
OK, not sure what Bizarro World you live in, but Nugent and Segal are not elites. Not even close. They didn't go to Harvard or Yale and don't make decisions for anyone but themselves.
It's always entertaining to see people who think that the left is not in charge. Let's see: who needs bodyguards to visit a university campus, right or left? Besides, if you're a left-winger, then this "inequality" thing has been going on (according to you) since 1776. Not really sure how this is "new".
I remember the first time I was in Kuala Lumpur, I was shocked to see newspaper ads for apartments that openly declared "Chinese only" or "Malay Muslim woman only, 18-25" or some such. The racism is all out in the open and codified in law. Every citizen's mandatory ID card has a field for race and religion. Race is there because different people's votes count differently come election time, and religion is there so that when you're eating during the day on Ramadan, when the religious police come into the restaurants you show them and you don't get arrested.
Did we learn something today? Much better than just ignorantly shouting "RACISM!" at a culture with which we are unfamiliar.
The Evil Tax And Spend Democrats (tm) did, in fact, follow policies openly hostile to Detroit's business community for decades. These policies could have ameliorated or arrested Detroit's decline, but exercising political hate was considered more important than caring for the well-being of the people. School decline came later, as it must have. It was an effect of the Democratic policies, not the cause of Detroit's decline.
You really need to get it through your head that there are other people in the world, and these other people may occasionally disagree with what you think. Yes, even though you consider your political opinions blatantly obvious, people may hold other opinions - and it doesn't mean they're being paid off by the Emmanuel Goldstein or the bankers or the Jews or the Koch brothers or whoever this year's hate figure is.
So being tagged as a sex offender isn't bad enough, men need to be executed for offending your moral outrage sensibilities. Fuck assholes like you. I wish we had execution for moral crusaders.
So you're saying schools are horrible because of minorities? You racist piece of trash. Go to hell, I hope your house burns down and you die in a fire.
Sheesh. The amount of lack-of-self-awareness in these types of posts never ceases to amaze me. People don't live in the suburbs because they want to drive an hour every day, they live there because the schools in the city are hellholes that can't even graduate kids who can read.
Entirely predicable and sad that this point of view has a hatred problem and greatly desires to see others suffer. Just...sad.
Sad is the day when far leftists so blindly support the President and Executive Branch that it cannot be believed that they would ever deviate, merely because the executive is behaving tyrannically.

Could you please not use that word? It's racist and shows a lack of respect for the president.
And we will completely fail to notice that Russia, unlike Austria-Hungary, lacks a huge neighbor with a professional military that is 100% willing to go to war on her behalf. Nope, good enough for people who got Cs in history!
This is the same logic and jumping to pre-existing conclusions that once led us to burn witches.
LOL no, asshole is for men. If you want to insist that we retcon this and pretend it never happened...then sure, we have always been at war with Eurasia.
Yaknow, I'd take gut instinct and American luck over career sociopath politicians anyday. How about you?

Believe it or not, some of us actually enjoy looking serious. You can take your hipster bag and shove it up your girly ass.

Reminds me of a cheesy pickup line I heard:
You remind me of my big toe, because I'm going to bang you on my couch soon.
Q: Why is starting a comment in the Subject: line incredibly irritating?

Ah, the good old days. Way back when, before Napster, I used to get on EFnet IRC #deaf and ask if anyone was trading MP3s. Good times.
Sheesh. The amount of lack-of-self-awareness in these types of posts never ceases to amaze me. People don't live in the suburbs because they want to drive an hour every day, they live there because the schools in the city are hellholes that can't even graduate kids who can read.

The Nobel Prize has been discredited for some years now. Didn't you get the memo?
Sad is the day when far leftists so blindly support the President and Executive Branch that it cannot be believed that they would ever deviate, merely because the executive is behaving tyrannically.
It comes down to: would you rather have Security, or Freedom?
