Thread: Screw the Swiss

    In a sense, OG is repeating himself in lots of threads.

You can only do bad things to people who are completely innocent of wrongdoing. Anyone who has committed the slightest bad deed in their lives deserves all the tribulations of Job and more.

    I've noticed a pattern of someone other than a left-winger saying something and then getting swarmed by half a dozen left-wingers, regardless of what is actually said. They don't even bother reading anymore. Any chance to attack someone who doesn't share their ideology is taken, even if the attack contradicts their own previous statements.

    True, but I always thought it was a binary: life or death. I didn't realize his views on this allowed for one to be sentenced to time in prison to rape and be raped.

    I had it happen to me in the last half dozen threads, and I've seen the same done to Dread (and Lewk, but the leftists here have always attacked Lewk when given a chance). Minx, Khen, OG, Tear, GGT and to a lesser extent Steely, have been all over anyone who says anything that's not consistent with their leftist beliefs. They now moved on to attacking anyone who doesn't hold those beliefs even on threads that have little to do with politics/economics.

    I don't consider myself a "leftist" in general, but progressive on social issues. Yet you attack me in most any thread I post in, Loki. Especially if you think I ramble off-topic. Well, it looks like you went wayyy off track with a Nazi reference here.

    If I would start to argue about his post, no. But it's not like I actually would respond to his arguments, that would be absolutely nonsense as he is so far off in his anti-Swiss rage. My approach is more dadaistic, and we are good at Dada, we invented the shit.

    Let the Swiss keep him.

    Considering that Sarkozy backed off from his support of Polanski after he realized how unpopular his position is, you'll have to provide a more convincing "national interest" argument, assuming you can make a post that doesn't involve nationalistic vitriol. And considering that your country is still living off the money stolen from others, I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that the "national interest" was an unwillingness to punish people who invest money in the Swiss economy.

    Roman Polanski's release secured by Nicolas Sarkozy: Sister-in-law

    Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/worl...#ixzz0tdQKftKl
    Polish director Roman Polanski’s family is thanking French President Nicolas Sarkozy for being “very effective” in helping to win his release from a Swiss prison.“I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it is thanks to the President that Roman has been freed, but he has been super,” Polanski’s sister-in-law,Mathilde Seigner, told Le Parisien newspaper. “The President has been very effective.”The London Times speculated that Sarkozy’s wife, ex-model Carla Bruni, may have pressured her husband to intervene because she used to hob nob with Paris’ artistic community, which includes Polanski and wife Emmanuelle Seigner
    No he didn't.

    I've noticed it with Dread, as I've commented before, but you've brought anything thrown your way on yourself. You've been beyond obnoxious the last few months, and have been trying to contest Tear's title as the most belligerent jackass on the forum for several weeks.

    Hmm, Loki, you don't see me jumping on Dread at every turn, do you?

    Re. attacking people based on ideology, I'd like you to think hard about what happens when anyone expresses a view that can be construed as "leftist" or even "socialist", here on this forum. Think very very hard about the response they inevitably get from you.

    I think it should be clear that we are not much more free to express our thoughts than you are. No wonder we can't have a harmonious coexistence of ideas

    Attacking positions doesn't sound like anyone who strives for harmonious co-existence as we express ourselves. Sounds to me like wanting to be "right" at every turn, even if that means showing how "wrong" others are in minutia.

    But what do I know, I can barely type while holding my skull to keep my idiot brains from falling out.....

    Not at all Dread. I at least try to keep to the thread subject. However everytime your position is challenged you respond with the same basic rhetoric. Whats eating you, you're attacking me, its your fault. You take your position personally, and when its questioned how you arrived at a certain decision, or from what source, your logic goes out the window and you resort to insults. This is stupid, you're acting like a moron, grow up past video games and movies. You start projecting.
    It used to be Loki who would most commonly spew baseless information without source, but lately he has given up on debate and stuck with trolling.

    Dude, OG, I dunno what's going on but if you were to take your exchanges with Dread for the past few weeks or months and read them as a neutral observer you'd feel differently. It may help if you replace your names with, I dunno, "Fuzzy" and "Minx" or something.

    I'm not trying to put one over on you, it's for reals. It's beginning to feel like Dr. Cox vs. Forrest Gump

    Well, that's what you get for pulling a Godwin, my dear. What do you expect? Applauding people?

    "Oh, my, I insulted someone and now everyone does not like me!" Cry less, you big baby.

    For someone who's physically and mentally incapable of participating in a controversial thread without insulting people, you really shouldn't be talking.

    You are so full of shit. In fact, your own post is part of your demonization game. How many of the people you called leftists are actually leftists?

    All.

    Being a leftist is hardly something to be ashamed of. Why would you want to act otherwise?

    I'm kind of disappointed that I got left out of the leftist list. I haven't gone to the dark side.

    Hey, at least I don't whine when I receive flak. And what does "physically [...] incapable of participating in a [...] thread without insulting people" mean? There's a midget behind me whacking my head whenever I don't insult someone?

    DON'T EVOKE ITS NAME!
    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    That is OK because America borders Canada rather than Liechtenstein?

    I'm offended by your implication that Canada poses a greater threat than Germany. Fie! For shame!

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the Polanski thread. I thought Lewk was railing about Swiss banks or something so I ignored it.

    Regardless of anything else, it seems to me the man ought to be in jail for drugging and raping a child and then fleeing justice. But that's just me. . . . .
