I post a thread as a goof and now I'm a dick because no one got my sense of humor?  I guess it was a bad idea to think I wouldn't be misunderstood. Live and learn.

I think it's a mix of that, you calling out whoever it was for the "no homo" comment and going pretty far with it, and posting the blue man almost every time you post.

I dunno, usually joke threads don't last too long in P/R. You might have been better off posting it in GD.

I bet that if you had posted it here instead of starting a thread, everybody would have gotten that it was a goof and that would have been the end of it.  Just a hunch.
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

It certainly was meant to amuse and not offend.

It could be what El Barto said - maybe making a thread did it. (And the overuse of the smilie)  :P

But no one died so it's not a big deal, just maybe avoid that kind've thing in this area of the forum.

Yeah, usually all the joke/funny posts in P&R are done in the chat thread.

As I said, it was just for a chuckle and was said tongue and cheek. I didn't think it would be taken serious.
I didn't even get a chance to mention how racist people are who are dreaming of a White Christmas. :tick2:

Sorry you took it that way. I guess I forget people don't know that I use humor in almost everything I do.
I would be quite frightened of anyone who could actually write something like that in a serious manner.
As others have said, I could have just put it in this thread and perhaps it would have gotten a laugh.
I posted it on a Rush board I have posted on for 5 years. I have over 20,000 posts there and everyone to a man knew it was me being me. It was taken as I meant without one person thinking it otherwise. I guess being a class clown can be misunderstood.
I thought of the term Black Friday and ran with it.
You should hear what I could come up with for White Christmas, but I will leave that to the imagination.

Wait for it.....

FWIW tick, I immediately saw the humor and complete lack of seriousness in that post.  I thought it was damned funny and knew right away that there was absolutely no way in hell you'd have posted something like that as ANYTHING but humor.

Did you read the responses? They were more ridiculous they what I wrote. Has no one figured out who I am yet?

They called it spam. They called it trolling. Because it was a joke thread. That's all. Sentence fragments.

Exactly. So we can finally put this to rest:

There are people who will see that and take it seriously. Trying to decipher emotion (ie, humor) on the internet is really hard, and so not everybody is going to take it seriously.

Not to mention it's not really a P/R topic and probably would have been better in GD.

Also, for what it's worth, I didn't lock it. When I checked my computer I saw that it was already locked. Please don't blame me.

Debating whether or not 1s and 0s have value made me thing about this little gem:

I talked about the movie fat-head a lot when I used to post those articles about the 2010 dietary guidelines and how our societies condemnation of saturated fat is unjustified. Fortunately, Fat-Head just finally came out on Hulu and you can watch it there:

Not certain who the shit-for-brains was that denied their permit, but after all this, he's likely to find himself up Shit Creek without a paddle.

When looking into free speech info for the WBC thread, I stumbled across this.  It's audio of the oral arguments in Hustler Magazine vs. Falwell.  It doesn't pertain directly to the WBC matter, so I didn't post it there, but it's great insight into how the infliction of emotional distress is viewed by the courts.

As an aside, I didn't know that they made these available.  Listening to these really gives you an appreciation for how nerve-racking it would be to spend 30 minutes arguing in front of these people.  Any preparation you might have made is worthless when they start grilling you with some tough question.  Big balls seem to be in order.

I think the atheist guy was a tad aggresive, but the other guy was pretty stupid.

Also, 0.4% atheist in America? Didn't know it was that little (if it's true). I just wiki'd it and it seems its 27% over here.



edit: Just watched his clip with Dawkins. Why is that guy still on tv?  :|
