I’m just terribly curious if Obama will turn on Pelosi. It’s so unlike Democrats to ever turn on their own, but she’s making such an incredible ass of herself, I can’t imagine he’s enjoying the idea of her being third in line to the presidency…

“Alright yeah cool. I’m sorry your life is so sad that your only respite comes in the form of browsing 4chan and making a fool of yourself on the internet.”
Yawn. Your slipshod and inept repartee would garner contempt from any serious aficionado of trolling, which I suppose is some sort of achievement. I salute your embrace of the concept of FAIL with such dogged determination. Bravo!
“Anyways, back to the discussion we were having.”
We’re not having a discussion. You’ve been trolling, and sucking big time.
“By the fact that you spend most of your time arguing on the internet.”
I think you’re having a bit of a problem with the term “fact”.
“The fact that your speech patterns pin you as a connoisseur of “internet culture”.
Yawn. If your “fact” were true, “internet culture” “4chan”
“The fact that you consider yourself a “libertarian”.
4chan is a libertarian site?!?! I guess you know more about 4chan than I do… Which kinda derails your argument, or are you admitting you’re a hypocritical 4chan devotee yourself?
“The fact that you wear a fedora because you consider it to make you ‘unique’.”
Nope. No hat. I even shave. Sorry.
“The fact that you are a network admin because you are too stupid to get a real job.”
We can’t all pimp our sisters out on the streets of Detroit, you know.
BTW, I’m not a network admin. A doctor might scribble notes, but that doesn’t make him a stenographer. I’d tell you what I do for a living, but then I’d have to kill you. And you’re not worth the cost of the cartridge.
Go. Die. In. A. Fire. You. Pathetic. And. Whiny. Little. B*tch.
“Da Big”,
Ah, assistant manager at McDonald’s… and the “fires” you get to put out are when the morons you supervise toss rats in the fry-o-lator and start a grease fire?
Wordpress stripped out the less-than and greater-than symbols… so it should read:
Yawn. If your “fact” were true, “internet culture” does not equal “4chan”
Cool, you wrote a 20 line response. I read the last two posts. I guess you have to draw from your experiences, so you wont be able to understand what a real job is (I am a Material Scientist at LLNL) (also, “I’d tell you what I do for a living, but then I’d have to kill you”? Really? I’m glad to see that being a network admin is so glamorous).
“We’re not having a discussion.”
Oh believe me, we are not having a discussion. I am having a discussion with some other people. You are jsut a troll who yealls really loudly hoping somebody will validate your existence. You don’t get much attention in real life, given that you are an adult failure, so you are looking for it on the internet. Sorry, but you’d have better luck if you grew up a bit first.
Don’t waste your breath, Da Big Nig, as I’m almost positive Griz is illiterate anyway and is just pounding his face on a keyboard. His posts may look like words, but it’s all a huge cosmic coincidence.
Even if he is for real, all he does is bitch and moan, bitch and moan, bitch and moan. He’s not intelligent enough to make any sort of point other that “Rrrgh! Stop outsmarting me with yer big smarty-pants words!” and “Tax the poor! Kill the brown people!” which are both conservative slogans anyway.
Not to derail the cat fight, but… what the hell is 4chan???
I’d google it, but now I’m afraid of what I’ll find…
“Da Big”
“Cool, you wrote a 20 line response.”
Yep. I didn’t even cut and paste it from some random page I googled-up. That’s because I’m a competent troll when I choose to be.
“I guess you have to draw from your experiences, so you wont be able to understand what a real job is”
See, that’s an example of incompetent trolling. If you’re going to try to use personal attacks to wound someone’s inner child, there needs to be some core of truth to the accusation.
“(I am a Material Scientist at LLNL)”
Aren’t we all, here on teh Internetz? I’m a SENIOR Materials Scientist here at Fermilab, so there!
BTW, “Materials” is plural, which you’d know if you actually were one. God, you suck at trolling.
“(also, “I’d tell you what I do for a living, but then I’d have to kill you”? Really? I’m glad to see that being a network admin is so glamorous)”
Yes. It’s very tedious having to dispose of all the groupies and paparazzi.
“I am having a discussion with some other people.”
Really? Don’t you mean the guy whose words you cut and pasted is having a conversation?
“You are jsut a troll who yealls really loudly hoping somebody will validate your existence.”
More of that projection $hit. And your obvious spelling errors illustrates your mental distress at that moment… For such a successful and admired c*cksucker, you’ve sure got some issues.
“You don’t get much attention in real life, given that you are an adult failure, so you are looking for it on the internet.”
So, what’s your f*cking excuse, Mr. Material[s] Scientist?
“Sorry, but you’d have better luck if you grew up a bit first.”
Ah, is being grown up what you call spewing racist bull$hit after getting caught trolling on some obscure conservative comic site?
Hapa,
The Wikipedia article is relatively safe. :0)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan
SAW,
Thanks for another contribution of that “intelligent discussion” we’ve come to expect from you.
Wow, gone for a day or two and everyone is getting called on their BS.
Griz: yes I do browse ED for fun on occasion I spend a part of my freetime online, just like you are. I don’t have anything to do with 4chan though. And the whole if I tell you I’d have to kill you statement is more than a step to far if you actually had a job of that sort.
“Magic”,
“And the whole if I tell you I’d have to kill you statement is more than a step to far if you actually had a job of that sort.”
How can you not tell that I am serious?!?!?
Lol, Fermilab employs maybe five Material Scientists. Also, yeah, at LLNL is called the department of Material Design, and my job title is Material Scientist. You wouldn’t know because you were never educated. I don’t put up with trolls, so I won’t be responding to you anymore. I suggest the other posters do the same. Let’s get this discussion back on track!
Griz:
A Material Scientist is someone who studies the properties of various substances as it relates to a certain application. EG. someone who studies the material strengths of various recipes of concrete so as to determine the required composition for a suspension bridge. Or at least that’s what I was taught in Architecture school. This is a serious profession with possibly serious consequenses. It is miles beyond “internet troll”.
In all honesty Griz, I had given you the benefit of the doubt when you said that you could (and would rather) have intelligent discussions (I’m obviously paraphrasing because to have to read through your posts again for your exact words would induce headaches). You had several lucid posts, then simply when all childish with your “copypasta” responses. Your posts show that you commit every tactic that you claim “Lib’tards” do. Your hypocrisy is astounding. And I only know you from the postings on this tread.
Do yourself a favour. Take a good look in the mirror. Act like the person you want to be and not like the people that you claim frustrated you to no ends.
Hapajap: You’ve shown your sarcastic side before, but those twitter post are quite harsh.
Back to Pelosi: Where were we? OH yes. Politicians lie and something about politics and religion shouldn’t mix.
I would agree that politics should not be mixed with religion. Both topics are explosive enough on their own. However, politics is a tool to express and apply power and authority. And religion has always had a need to do just that – otherwise it would be merely philosophy. Thus the two will always be intertwined by human nature. Whether this communion should have any place in government is something that can only be dictated by the culture of the people forming the government.
I just got off the phone with the Materials Engineering department at LLNL. There is no department of Material Design there. Or maybe you were talking about some ‘other’ LLNL?
Kuni, I don’t twitter. Never have, never will. That was some jackass trying to make me look bad.
Hapajap: good to hear. Those post did not sound Like you.
Hapajap: It’s full title is the Institute of Materials Design. It is a joint effort between LLNL, LANL, and the University of California. In inter-departmental mail, it is referred to as the department of Material Design. Here is information about the program, it is hosted on the LANL website since they spearhead the program: http://institute.lanl.gov/ucd/. I am not aware of any “other” LLNLs. They did not refer you to this because inter-departmental organization is not usually released to the public. Instead, each department is part of a Research Group, Institute, or the like. Feel free to look through the NL websites if you would like to learn more. That is a better method than calling a secretary with incomplete information.
kuniakiraka:
That makes sense. I think the tough part is to reach a middle ground where religion is expressed only in terms of ethics, not doctrine. Unfortunately, this often results in one being branded a traitor for abandoning the doctrine which they claim to stand up for.
Also: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/5395830/Abu-Ghraib-abuse-photos-show-rape.html
It looks like they got out.
“Da Big”
“Lol, Fermilab employs maybe five Material Scientists.”
How can you not tell that I am serious?!?!?
Kuni,
“In all honesty Griz, I had given you the benefit of the doubt when you said that you could (and would rather) have intelligent discussions (I’m obviously paraphrasing because to have to read through your posts again for your exact words would induce headaches).”
I’m not the one who claimed to want an “intelligent discussion”, I’m the one pointing out that SAW was a lying troll who had claimed so.
“You had several lucid posts, then simply when all childish with your “copypasta” responses.”
Yeah, I got tired of being trolled.
“Your posts show that you commit every tactic that you claim “Lib’tards” do.”
Why, yes, there is absolutely no difference between a pack of Lib’tard sock-puppets trolling here, and my use of sarcasm and derision in return.
“Your hypocrisy is astounding.”
Your silence regarding the hypocrisy of “Trucker Tom”/”Da Big Nig”/”SAW” is deafening.
“Do yourself a favour. Take a good look in the mirror. Act like the person you want to be and not like the people that you claim frustrated you to no ends.”
Gee, more advice from “Trucker Tom”… um.. What did you say your nickname was, again?
Whomever you are, you can take your self-serving advice and feigned indignity and go f*ck yourself.
“That is a better method than calling a secretary with incomplete information.”
LOL, you don’t actually think Hapa called, do you?
Anyone can claim to be whatever they what, here on teh Internetz. I can be certain of one thing: None of the SAW/Trucker/DaBig sock-puppets sound like scientists working at LLNL.
“you don’t actually think Hapa called, do you?”
No, I don’t think Hapa is a liar. I’m sure he did call.
“sound like scientists working at LLNL.”
Good thing a network admin who has absolutely no experience with research of any kind is here to tell us what a scientist sounds like. Also, I’m called a Material Scientist, but I am technically licensed as a MechE.
Griz: I can’t speak for “Trucker Tom”/”Da Big Nig”/”SAW” because I am not them. What evidence do you have that I am the same person as “Trucker Tom”/”Da Big Nig”/”SAW”? And post have I made that warranted your derision?
I don’t think that SAWhowhatnow is the same person as “Trucker Tom”/”Da Big Nig”. I can’t confirm whether or not “Trucker Tom”/”Da Big Nig” are the same person because I do not in the habit of tracking down people’s IP addresses. The evidence provided points in that direction, but I don’t care to press the point.
I happen to agree with Some of the points they posted, but your ranting caused too much of a distraction.
There, my “silence regarding the hypocrisy of “Trucker Tom”/”Da Big Nig”/”SAW”’ is broken.
I offer my advice freely and you are more than welcome to turn it down.
Now are you going to add to the discussion or simply continue deride other people? I’d like to know so I can decide whether or not to bother even reading your posts.
Kuni,
I’m sorry, what part of “Whomever you are, you can take your self-serving advice and feigned indignity and go f*ck yourself” wasn’t clear?
Thank you Griz. Now I know to completely ignore you.
And, I’m supposed to care, “Kuni”?
The secretary answered the phone, transferred me to someone in HR or something like that, and they transferred me to someone working directly in the Materials Engineering department. While he did confirm there were people working as Material(s) Scientists (I didn’t catch whether he said the ’s’ part, but didn’t care to press the point), he said there was no department called ‘Department of Material Design’, and he seemed to be racking his brain thinking of something that could fit that description.
At any rate, I’m fine with taking you at your word. I don’t have any reason not to. Yeah, you’ve acted like a juvenile jack-ass, but that doesn’t mean you don’t work where you say you work. I’ve acted like one too, and I’m actually quite intelligent, believe it or not. lol.
I get it from my father, who was kind of a pioneer in the computer engineering industry. He designed systems for (in reverse order), Sun Microsystems (where he helped design the workstations that they used to create Toy Story), His own company where he designed and built after-market add-ons for the DEC Rainbow, DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation), Burroughs, and IBM back in the ’60’s.
He was the only guy at Sun who didn’t have a college degree, and everyone was always asking him how things worked. lol.
And I waste my intelligence on a comic website arguing politics with people I don’t know. So… yeah, I’m not one to judge.
Hapajap: “Time well wasted” – The Comedy Network
lol
That’s cool, my Dad worked for AT&T at Bell Laboratories while they were developing Unix. He had a college degree, but it was in biology. He had a similar experience to your dad’s, where those who had studied extensively in the area were often asking for help from a guy who know how things worked because he had worked with them for years.
Yeah, I know I’ve been a jackass. Politics does that to me I guess. Still my fault though. I suspect the guy couldn’t help you because its not really much of a department at LLNL. As far as I know, I’m the only non UC or LANL employee in the department (I recently switched labs and act as sort of a liason).
So I’m not really sure what’s going on with the article I linked earlier. Are these the photos everybody has been talking about lately? Have they been released then? I thought the presidential administration had decided to keep them confidential.
I don’t think that one photo is from the ones they’re talking about, but if it’s true that a soldier and a translator raped anyone, they should be taken out and shot post haste. And thrown to the wolves.
Hapajap: Glad to see that your brand of justice is applicable to all evildoers – that you don’t discriminate.
Uh… thanks?
It just means you hold everyone to the same standards, I hope.
Not really. I actually hold our fighting men and women to higher standards, as I do to anyone who takes positions of power or positions of moral authority. If you opt in life to become someone who will be a role model to our children, you should be held to higher standards than the guy sweeping up after a ball game. Those who betray that trust should be punished to the full extent of the law.
I think pedophile priests should be executed. I think anyone who defiles children should be. The recidivism rate of child molesters, I believe, is higher than any other crime, and is the worst among all crimes, IMO.
And yeah, when we’re done water-boarding terrorists, we should feed them to hungry rats. lol
Nevermind that last part. We should feed them to hungry pigs, so they know even their chewed up little parts will never get to paradise and their 72 virgins, because they ‘touched’ a swine.
What a non-sensical religion is that?
I’m sorry, but I can’t agree on that one. The only people you should ever count on to be role models for your children are yourselves and people you would actually trust your children with personally. Not some priest you’ve seen on tv or a soldier you’ve never met. Yes, they’re in a position where their morals should be steadfast but if I don’t know them personally I would not just assume they would be. It’s nothing against priests or soldiers, both my parents were soldiers, but I’m not going to just point to a soldier and say, “I want you to be just like him/her”
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely” – I wonder if this applies to omnipotent God(s) (actually I don’t. I know that it does corrupt even imaginary figures because that is the only way humans can relate to them).
Those with authority have “power” and it’s currupting influence. Give someone more power than they can morally withstand and they will be corrupted whether they be priests, presidents or soldiers. As to this, the mental dehumanizing of the “enemy” that pretty much is a requirement conducting any war, and curruption is all that much liklier to occur.
Yes, there are those within society that we hold to a “higher standard”, but if they don’t hold themselves to that “higher standard” it really doesn’t matter how we esteem them Hapajap.
(This would include members of Congress like Nancy Pelosci – segueway back to the original thread topic)
I gotta agree with Magicmeat here. The only people you can hold to a higher standard and actually depend upon to live to that standard is yourself. You can hope that priests, politicians and soldiers live up to your higher standards – and they should – but don’t bet on it.
Speaking of Nancy Pelosi… where the hell is she? This is the longest anyone has gone without hearing idiotic words out of her mouth since she took over the house two years ago. lol
She’s actually sitting out the debate on what a liar she is, waiting or other issues to take the foreground, and hoping everyone will forget that she’s a lying piece of filth before she pokes her head out of the ground again.
She’s pathetic.
Be fair Hapajap. All politicians turn out to be “a lying piece of filth”. It’s the nature of politics.
All politicians lie, this is true. The degrees and reasons for their lies vary widely. Pelosi lied because she was setting a trap for Republicans, when she was guilty of the very thing she was accusing them of. Then she tried to blame the CIA for it. She’s an idiot of the first caliber.
Hey Hapajap! I’m a big fan of the comic, you could say I’m a long time-reader, first time poster!
Since that vile, despicable, soul-less killing machine (aka ABORTION “Doctor) was “aborted”, will you get waterboarded and to show those faggot-pussy libertards that its no big deal?
-Repub4Lyfe
PS
Hang Pelosi
He didn’t volunteer.
Oh, gee, guess Repub4Lyfe called you out, Hap.
Yep… master of debate there.
who is calling him out? I just want him to show those libertards that we conservatives aren’t whiney little pussies like they are.
Speaking of, is your next comic gonna be about those little fudge-packing child rapists getting the “right” to be “married” (if you could call it marriage. And besides, only GOD can give that right). If the gay agenda ever comes to Tennessee and teach my kids to take it in the ass there will be hell to pay. haven’t they learned God gave them AIDs for a reason?
-Palin ‘12!
“Repub4lyfe”
Troll elsewhere, sock-puppet.
You’re as much a Republican as I’m a frickin’ Zulu warrior… Which is to say, not at all.
lol Zulu warrior! thats a good one.
I could be wrong, but I heard that some teenagers are learning to “take it in the ass” so that they can maintain their “virginity”. Apparently it’s one of the results of the “Abstinance only” sex education down there in the States. Ironic isn’t it?
Yeah right.
who is trolling? I am trying to support you guys. If anyone is trolling it is kuniakiraka (fucking japs) and da big nigger.
Apparently, there’s more rumour than truth to that misconception:
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/21606.php
http://std.about.com/od/stdsspecificcommunities/a/virginquestion.htm
http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN2030677920080520
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/19/AR2008051901219.html
and one for the other side:
http://www.heritage.org/research/abstinence/wm762.cfm
But with about half of the teenagers questioned having engaged in some form of sexual activity, it doesn’t seem like “Abstinance only” sex education is having it’s desired effect. And it might be potentially dangerous – as noted in some of those linked articles.
