SKULL CHATTER FROM THE DA POLITICAL FORUM [link]



Hello everyone. I am VERY sorry for the lack of quote updates. I had my hands full and to make it up for you, I will post some quotes *SwordOfScotland sent to me!

1. on My opinion on English as the offical language of the US... Warning: Severe tl;dr, read at own risk!
[link] "English used in the US should not even be called English considering the fact that we butcher the language mercilessly."-~Wraithldr

[link] "Wow. It's only Monday and already I have a serious contender for "Dumbest f**king post of the week."-~AvSkyggene

[link] and [link] "Did I not state: "English is an Anglo-Saxon/Norse/Germanic rooted language that has borrowed heavily from Latin (among other places)."

"No, you imagined that. Then your imagine changed the flow of the space time continuum to alter your older post. Duuuh."-`zeruch and =OuroborosCobra

2. on Why not abolish marriage?
[link] "Well, if we're going to have marriage be a legal issue we should make it a criminal one rather than a civil issue.


I want to see men in jail for leaving the seat up and women on death row for cheating. They could have reality shows about it, I'd watch. "-~psychosushi

[link] "I'd say I was sorry for being offensive but I personally found it amusing. I have this mental picture in my head of a polygamist at the hospital standing next to a surge protector that feeds power to the respirators for their 8 spouses.. And they're grinning the most sh*t-eating, up to no good, grin ever."-~psychosushi again

3. on BREAKING NEWS: Obama kills fly
[link] and [link] "Call PETA. They'll know what to do."

"Looks like someone did: [link] "-*gunnyoshiaki and `manic-cure

[link] "'Cause it shows he's learned leet ninja skillz from Mr. Miyagi."-*Shidaku

[link] "Yeah. As I recall, the mythos is that you have to catch the fly with chopsticks and set it free alive and unharmed to be able to "do anything."-~momoe

4. on Corporate Rule, Maybe
[link] "Ah, kids these days, with their tattoos and their punk rock and their identification with murderous dictators...when I was his age, we only got to name ourselves after corrupt senators, and we were grateful even for that."-*JupiterWave

5. on What do you think of our new prez?
[link] "He's like Bush, but eloquent."-$Stykera

[link] "He spent away my future in the first few months in office. "-~Joebob777

[link] "Meh. For all this talk about "change" he's just another mediocre leader."-~5-7x28mm

[link] "I have to admit, some of the decisions he's made are ones I might have gone about differently. Then again, there's a very good reason that he's in that chair and I'm not, so I'm willing to watch and see where he's going with these things.

Thus far, he appears to be doing the best he can with the issues he's inheritated. Considering that inheritance consists of a struggling economy, two difficult wars, rising aggression in Korea and the Middle East, a difficult energy and environmental situation, a national public image to rescue, and all the other day-to-day problems the president faces, I'd say he's done okay thus far. I do happen to feel that a lot of people on both sides have some unrealistic expectations. No, the US will not burst in to flames and die in a socialist blaze of glory any more than it will magically transform overnight into a magical land of plenty with bubble gum trees and whisky springs. Anyone who thinks either of those situations would ensue from the election of one man is mildly delusional. The simple fact of the matter is, all of the problems we're facing take time and they will all take actions that some people won't like. That's fine, everyone's entitled to an opinion. All I ask is that people calm the hell down a bit. Not everything is shiny rainbows or doom from Russia. Relax, give it time and a chance to work. There's nothing to be gained from irrational frothing at the mouth either in favor of or against the president."-~mci021

6. on Despot
[link] "My economy will solely be based on how much teeth you have. No, not in your mouth. How much in a pile, I mean. You gain teeth by punching them out of the heads of your enemies, or those you just generally want to punch."-~Newtronian

[link] " Nobody owns anything. They must all support each other or die.

Dick Wolfe.

None, or they'll know better.

The Simpsons.

There is no military."-~The-Thunder-Fox

[link] and [link] "Wait a second! Are you campaigning for the position of The Grand Poobah of the DA Political Forum again?"

"That position has been closed since I occupied it and ended that silly and tiresome practice of free and fair elections.

I'll abolish myself once I've finished having fun."-*SwordOfScotland and =sonicbutterfly

7. on Save the economy? Go Soviet
[link] "I read all of it, actually. Just because I didn't respond in the way you wanted me to, doesn't mean I didn't read it.

I'll add your name to the idiot list, shall I."-=sonicbutterfly

[link] "Funny idea, but I recommend to just use the correct translation "council" and not the original russian word "sovjet" if you don't what to scare away people."-=inmc

[link] "*Smiles* I'm an atheistic capitalist who reviles everything -your- life stands for. I write excellent poetry and drink whenever the f**k I feel like it."-~Unvalanced

8. on Income Versus Wealth
[link] "Progressive income tax works well in my book. I don't pay any tax because I'm poor as sh*t."-~Peacefroggie

9. on What is truly eroding the sanctity of marriage?
[link] and [link] "pffft we got married at a drive through in Vegas, that was over 10 years ago. No need for a church and much cheaper "

"Did Elvis perform the service? "-*Gazzaf1 and ~antilogy

[link] "somewhere out there, atheists are getting married and there is nothing you can do. "-~druminor

[link] "There is no function of comedy wherein the comedian tells people whats funny, they live or die based on audience reaction. It was stupid, not funny."-~druid69

10. on Cash For Clunkers.
[link] "No, it won't work well at all. It is such a slim narrow amount of vehicles that will even qualify. Besides... this is just a feeble FIRST attempt to get Americans to give up driving the vehicles they want.

Soon they will regulate to get more vehicles outside of this failed-before-it-starts program off the road. Mark my words.

I would love to see a bunch of monster trucks doing donuts on the White House front lawn out of protest."-~ZOKMAN

[link] "Is there a limit on how many clunkers you can trade in? If not, I'm going to have to get me a trailer hitch and head to the junkyard."-~Joebob777

[link] "Worked excellent in Germany, perhaps too well because now everyone has a new car and the dealerships have no business for the next 5-10 years.

It's true some older cars get better gas mileage but this is rare, they almost always create more smog, and they're owners will probably go looking for a replacement soon anyway so it may as well be a very new one instead of a slightly less old one.

I'm in favor but I don't think the old cars should necessarily be junked like they were in Germany. There's plenty of recycling to be done and perhaps selling them cheap overseas would boost mobility and productivity in some poorer country."-~Gaurk

[link] and [link] "Fortunately I only drive newer big gas burning vehicles. I feel very strongly that for every little European stylize pussy car out there, there needs to be at least 10 big trucks like mine to drive over and crush them like flies on the freeway."

"You poor man, being emasculated by a vehicle. "-~ZOKMAN and ~The-Thunder-Fox
