funny thing is:
- the girl who told me to wake up is my best friend/"sister." known her for 17 years. her husband strikes me as being one of these "tenther"/"birther" chumpstains (a "tenther," BTW, is a person who has suddenly determined that the tenth amendment renders most government programs unconstitutional - which is a gross misreading of the amendment) - a union guy who hates his union, even though he wouldn't be able to afford the house/wife/kid if his union hadn't kicked some ass before he got there.
- the "socialist" guy is a guy i've known for 22 years. also a close friend, he's the guy who co-hosts my (maybe never-coming-back...) political radio show. he thinks this new hatred for islam is his "jewish heritage" kicking in, which is ridiculous (some of our friends think he's doing too much cocaine, which is far more likely an explanation). i told him repeatedly during our discussion that i was physically sickened and repulsed by his sudden and fervent hatred of islam.
i posted up a comment on my facebook that read, "...was today stunned many times by people of varied political persuasions having such seemingly hateful and/or willfully ignorant positions (because it's easier to simplify and hate than to comprehend and rectify). Comprehension and derivation of a solution require people to move beyond differences to see their similarities. In other words: It takes work... but we're lazy Americans! So, we deserve what we get. :(" ... fortunately, a few of my other friends came out in support of me, so i don't feel like i'm in the ****ing twilight zone anymore
EDIT: the "socialist" didn't learn from our three hour shoutfest, and spewed on the facebook message above. FML indeed.

Aug 30, 2009god of cyanide posted a message on more is coming...?well, thanks, ed. i try to be informative and honest, but i also believe in give and take in conversation - which i find lacking in the debate forum here often, and which is why i pop in, get uppity, get pissed and leave. there's no interest in give and take, unless you're the one doing all the giving and they're taking away your time.Posted in: 1-800-cyanide line
i believe time is our most valuable commodity, because it is not recreatable. so wastes of time are the worst wastes for me to see.
anyway, i'll start posting more around here when work starts up again and i have more juicy stuff to wig out about that's about how teaching leads you to abandon your willpower to not be homicidal. -
Aug 30, 2009god of cyanide posted a message on FML...yeah i have had a freaking day of this. just spent much of the last three hours trying to get my "socialist" friend to understand that religions don't oppress and incite violence, people USE religion to justify oppression and violence to its followers. this oppression and violence is largely motivated by factors that have little to do with religious doctrine - usually, it is economic and/or geographic factors. (basically, he had said that "islam should not be allowed to dominate the earth," followed soon by, "we shouldn't allow muslims to practice their faith in america because their religion preaches violence.")Posted in: 1-800-cyanide line
i have had a day of nonstop facepalming. my forehead hurts. -

no seriously, YAY MTGS blogosphere.
both our extendo's were amazingly popular, so our blogs should be too.
stay cool (or warm...), brother! - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
That's not to say it isn't fake, just not as implausible as you guys make it out to be.
I want to preface this by saying that I thought you were a great forum member. I was sorry to see you get banned, and I hoped that, when they announced the trial ban lifts, you'd be getting unbanned... And, thus, I was glad to see you unbanned.
But now, I kind of think that may have been a bad idea.
This site works rather well, all things considered. Part of that is because we have these filters and limits on topics and what not. I'm of the opinion, actually, that there should be more limits, not less. (I've argued before for not needing a Debate section, for example.) There's enough chaos on this forum - mostly due to its size - without adding in extra stuff that requires extra work from an unpaid moderation staff.
I'm sorry that you feel MTGS is too restrictive. Why did you come back, then? Why did you think it was unreasonable to be asked to modify your old custom title? I would have been gracious that I was welcomed back otherwise, shut my mouth, and moved on with things. All I see is that you've come back on a crusade to turn MTGS into, basically, a copy of the forum that the Gutter exiles started. Why don't you just go there? Seems like that's a perfect forum for you.
Nai has even conceded some of your points, but he's right; you're not willing to meet him halfway. To quote one of my favorite movie villains: "Your bargaining posture is highly dubious."
I'm just saying, man.
Edit: rian and Sene can vouch that I drop swear words in my normal conversation like nobody's business. But this is a forum, and it has rules, so I obey them.
