If You Can't Argue or Discuss A Point Without Calling Someone Names

[WooWooWoo]

then really, why even bother being here? Is it that hard to have a civil conversation with someone you disagree with?

I swear, some of you people act like you were raised in a barn.

1. What do you have against barn-raised folks? nt

[PDJane]

2. The piles of manure.

3. I know, right?

That's twice..

Fucking fucking barn haters, rural haters, fuck them all to hell!

[progressoid]

9. Damned barnophobes.

4. I call them as I see them. There is no other adequate term for gun nuttery.

Thank you for your concern.

5. Please alert on name-calling and ridicule. Both are against community standards.

Also us ignore.

16. I have alerted several times on spontaneous gratuitous

name calling on other peoples' posts, and the jury in each case thought it was ok because the subject was divisive, or something like that, and let it stand, usually by 4-2. I'm pretty disgusted.

19. Let the system work the best it will. Alert and ignore. I alerted on a post that advocated

the violent death of someones children. The jury let it stand because the someone was Wayne LaPierre.

6. You've been here since 2002?

Did you leave, and sign up again in August?

[WooWooWoo]

10. I joined in 2002

then when there was like, some day when everyone changed their names, I changed mine. Then in 2010 I joined the army and after going through basic training and spending a year in Afghanistan I came back and couldn't remember my password, so I just signed up with a new name.

I used to be Magic Rat.

12. Thanks. I'm big on transparency, myself.

Fair enough.

7. If you like Toyotas, why do you even bother eating potato chips? nt

[UndahCovah]

14. "If you like Toyotas, why do you even bother eating potato chips?"

Thats what math sounds like to me.

[rhett o rick]

23. Because I like greasy potato chips but not that hot on greasy Toyotas. nm

[Warren DeMontague]

8. I know. A kindergarten full of dead kids, and people have the nerve to be mad about guns.

They wants to takes the preciousss but we wonts lets themmm

[sellitman]

11. Please post as a stand alone.

Spot on!

[Skittles]

13. it is important we don't offend their delicate sensibilities

riiiiight

[savannah43]

15. Or their sensible delicacies.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. Remember, "NOW IS NOT THE TIME!"

In fact, I think it should be at least 6 months after a major mass shooting, before anyone can broach the sensitive subject of daring to consider even the most modest limitation on MAH RIGHT TO FILL MAH BASEMENT WITH MY BIG SHINY AR-15s THAT I LURVER TO SHOOOOOOOOOOOOT SHINY SHINY BLACK PRECIOUSSSSSSSSS

And since we get a major mass shooting every 3 months, or more frequently even, conveniently "now" is "never" the time.

[RomneyLies]

20. They are such delicate flowers. n/t

[Skittles]

21. WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST FLOWERS, RomneyLies?

[morningfog]

17. There are some here who do not deserve respect.

Public shaming is even too good for them.

[Kablooie]

22. That's a relief. I have a hard time remembering names. It's good to know I don't have to use them.

And I wasn't raised in a barn.
I've never even been in a barn raising.
And I've never razed a barn either.
