Welcome to the General Discussions: Primaries automated switchboard....
Edited on Thu May-22-08 10:26 AM by PeterU
Welcome to the General Discussions: Primaries automated switchboard. Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Angry Illogical Ranting.

You have selected Angry Illogical Ranting. Welcome to General Discussion: Primaries. Please make the following selection:

Press 1 for broad-based generalizations.
Press 2 for the strawman fallacy.
Press 3 for subtly inciting hatred against your fellow Democrat.
Press 4 for arguing implausible scenarios just to rile up fear.
Press 5 for gross hypocrisy.
Press 6 for sanctimonious self-righteousness.
Press 7 for pretending to care about things you really don't care about just to suit your own agenda.
Press 8 for mock indignation.
Press 9 for veiled threats.
Press 10 for telling others to recommend your post because getting it on the Greatest Page is the best thing that will ever happen to you in your life and you can now die happy.
Press 11 for crazed mob mentality and herd behavior.
Press 12 for rationalizing your own behavior by claiming that the other side acts much worse than yours.
Press 13 for being an grand embarrassment to your own candidate and being against everything for which he or she actually stands.
Press 14 for circular logic, red herrings and non-sequitors.
Press 15 for TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND CURSING A LOT!!!!!!!
Press 16 for exaggerating the outcome of current events and otherwise blindly panicking.
Press 17 for prematurely jumping to conclusions based solely on rumor, innuendo or unsubstantiated evidence.
Press 18 for quoting out of context
Press 19 for counterproductive behavior that is only going to serve to further divide us down the road.
Press 20 for not actually giving a damn about what your candidate is actually saying because you have worked yourself up into an emotionally frenzied state.

If you are looking for calmness, rationality, common sense, unity, coalition building and/or logic, no options exist for such choices. Please hang up and feel disillusioned by your fellow Democrats. We fuck you for your patience. Have a shitty day.

2. I think you need to crosspost this to "that place" because it deserves
to be on the Greatest Page.

3. I will, but I can't do it until this evening.

I stupidly wasted my 3 daily posts because I was just fed up with each and every person over there.

I thought about going totally ballistic on the whole forum for just being so plain stupid, but after calming down I realized this was a much better catharsis.

4. It is one of the greatest things I have ever read here...
It ranks right up there with CoffeeCoyote's 2004 Primaries templates (when we still had the f-you smiley).

10. Greatest. Picture. Ever.
I love it.

Oh, and I think it is interesting that the Caps Lock monster also is not afraid to wear short shorts.

12. Well, everybody likes short shorts

13. Aww. But Strawman is so cute. Look at him--he's smiling!
Why do people constantly feel the need to build him up, just to tear him back down again.

17. I think it was actually an inside joke by those posters.
And yet the thread still sinks.

Oh well. I'm still glad I did it.

It beats my first option, which was to post the following:

DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA HOW FUCKING STUPID, IDIOTIC, AND CHILDISH YOU ALL ARE ACTING?????????
