Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."
Gee, I wonder why Ken-Doll insinuating that GITH supports child molesters would offend someone who's spoken openly of their own sexual abuse history! You guys are surprised?! Follow the fuck along!
Yes, it is fucking stupid.
Art Vandalay is answering for defending the term "nationalism", and I give him props for owning up to it (so far anyhow)... zero credit to Ken-Doll, continuing to deflect from my actual critique.
you write "owning up" to being a proud Canadian like it is something wrong. It isn't. Borders and Laws, they mean a lot for a nation.
You should really try reading, I actually stated I don't agree with him politically.
That's an interesting moral position to take. You are suggesting that no one can have discernment to separate child molesters from people you just don't agree with - they should all be treated the same. And there's no obvious moral difference between a known abuser of children and others you don't like. That's an interesting hill to plant your flag on, good luck with it.
As someone who has young daughters, I'll be sure to avoid people like you who don't seem to think that child molesters should go to a special kind of hell. Seriously, stay the hell away from me, you have issues.
Hmm, just got back to this thread. Yes I read, and as we have in the past you're obviously not hearing what I'm saying and I wasn't responding to you, but rather the pushback toward Teens position.
I DO think there's a special place in hell for those like Epstein, but also for those like the Koch brothers and the point you missed (are missing) is that some of us thin the damage the koch brothers have done to our society is that egregious. I lump in Nazi's and racists into that wing of Hell, and while child molestors deserve a bit less of an accomodation in their special place, there ALL pieces of shit--which was my point. Epstein and the koches to me are crap and obviously to others as well.
It is not at all bad to wish bad things (even death) on bad people. Are you saying you wouldn't wish death upon someone who had hurt one of your daughters? If not, you are a more benevolent person than I. I'd not only wish it upon them, i'd take steps to see it done.
As for staying away from you--Yeah i've been doing that for years now, so if you wan't jut go back to ignoring my posts and we'll be fine.

I think Koch, who actively sought the destruction of the planet and humanity with it for his own greed
There's a good ~40% of the US that thinks global warming is phony or that human involvement is not the primary cause. They are completely wrong, and frankly stupid. "Actively" sought the destruction? I don't know, I won't defend the guy, I couldn't stand his politics or how he went about it, but I think he was likely just greedy and frankly wrong.
But it comes down to the politics. The "right wing" is in the wrong here, and it's a huge err on their part. But it's a political discussion point.
I also think your assertion that GITH "doesn't think child molesters deserve a special place in hell" because he equated Koch with them is 100% idiotically fucking laughable!
GITH brought up the child molesters and equated them, not me.
All of these "tone police" posts from right wingers
Another whiff, I'm not policing you, in fact I noted that you can say what you want, I'm just pointing out that it's gross. It says more about you than anything, sadly.
Pathetic. Ken, you should fear more for your kids' future in the climate change hellscape we're entering due to purposeful right wing obfuscation.
Yeah, you know absolutely nothing about me or my kids, so don't ever mention them again.
I am very fearful about climate change and I can't stand how the right wing handles it. They are a huge problem right now.
So again, don't type another word about my kids, you are out of line. You crossed a line here.
useless tool of the extinction propagaters, you is!
Weird how you like to frame people who think your content is morbid as having a particular viewpoint. I am firmly on the side of global warming. But it's more convenient to argue when you try to put me on the other side.
Teenwolf,
to be balanced, perhaps you can acknowledge your joy in destroying a baseball fantasy site to serve your own ego.
it's quite an accomplishment.
The Baseball part is in another section, don't enter the porta potty if you don't like the smell. Seriously--is that such a hard concept to grasp?
Plus it's so very trumplike to blame the demise of something (real or perceived) on something you don't like even though it's factually incorrect.

Maybe you could also acknowledge that inflammatory posts make up 5-10% of my content, and that I actually post as much reputable links and valid discussion as anybody rather than continuing to single me out as divisive?
If I stopped posting, that might honestly be the death knell. Or maybe it would thrive, I dont know! But I would certainly miss it on a personal level. I'm pretty much an OG RJ guy... I'm 36, and I joined as a teenager. Make no mistake, i fucking love this place.

I was literally the first person to reply to this thread, and the others who replied quoted me, so to suggest that you weren't responding to me is odd, considering you stated "lot's" of people (there were 3 other than TW that had replied at that time). But sure, if you want to act like it wasn't responding to me you can play that game!

I think it's dangerous to equate political disagreement with crime and genocide. Global warming is a very divisive, political topic. Sadly too many people are dumb enough to be on the wrong side, I'm right there with you. But equating that with intentional genocide and abuse of children downplays the evil that the former two involve.

I'd love JJ to address this point, as I am fascinated by those, like JJ, who think the site as a whole is ruined by the discourse in this sub-forum. I sincerely don't get it. I refrained from reading and posting in the Sports Bar for years for fear of interactions here coloring my thoughts of the baseball forums. I take breaks from this forum for the very reasons JJ and others cite, and may again for awhile. I sincerely don't get why others cannot do that or do not want to do that.
My confusion may stem form my not visiting these forums for many years while being on the baseball side. Is it that for many folks, participating in non-sports talk with others here has always been an essential component to coming to the site as a whole and contributing on the baseball side of things?
It's okay when someone on the left makes a joke about a homophobic joke. :smh:

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs. - nullnor, speaking on immigration law in AZ.

What the hell are you talking about? Me stating that child molesters are the worst kind of people imaginable, and equating them to anyone else is downplaying how despicable they are and just the comparison is vile and disgusting... offends you? What the actual hell?
Ken... the facts of climate change were coming into popular scientific discussion in the late 80's, and Koch brothers set up institutions and think tanks, etc. to purposefully deny and obfuscate the facts, in order to make money, yes, but it's not a "political disagreement" that we (you, me, every sane observer) believe climate change exists, and they simply don't. They exist specifically to DENY scientific truth! They're as bad as the scientists paid to deny health effects of cigarettes, or the scumbag pharma exec's who denied addictiveness of opioids... both groups caused millions of deaths, and deserve equal "placement in hell" or whatever ... it's not political disagreement, it's not being wrong. Its willful and knowing destruction and destabilization of humanity. This is why they deserve absolute outright loathing, and their death is worthy of celebration.
