Drama / Re: patton360/Grimlock - Geriatric closet furry, bridge troll, and compulsive liar

I've never understood the 'admittance to trolling' rule.  This dude is clearly a troll, but as long as he doesn't admit it he doesn't get banned?  Sorry but this rule is borderline worthless.

The rule has actually worked many times in the past. Users gloat about their trolling habits then get banned more often than you might think. But yes, it can be frustrating to watch people tiptoe the line, I agree with that.

I really hope that once the human race has got its stuff together and finally reverses global warming that we can restore the great barrier reef.

I know there has been a lot of discussion about sinking old ships to create artificial reefs. But that potentially introduces new ecological problems... and already has, in some cases. I think we gotta wait a couple hundred years to fully undo this, sadly.

It's almost as if they aren't accounting for "humiliation"

You're assuming the society which buried him would consider femininity applied to a male humiliating the same way we do; rule number one in anthropology and archaeology is not to make assumptions about distant cultures. In fact, this story is sensationalized--there is definitely room to investigate the Corded Ware culture's approach to love/gender in relation to this burial, but to call it a transgender skeleton (or gay caveman as an article I found says) is jumping to conclusions.

Tony you're just as sensational and misleading as CNN.

Not really news this has been known for awhile now and no one cared until Annoying Orange was president.

This happened during Obama's presidency.

You're so shortsighted. No single president is responsible for this, and the root of the problem extends to before Obama's time.

I've been trying to make sense of this yeti phenomenon for weeks. I'm convinced this is one of the most forward thinking outsider art projects of our generation. One of these days I'm going to devote a couple hours to fully comprehending this effort.

Its great how if you read through my post history I go from an extremely homophobic hyper religious guy do a chill gay dude who doesn't afraid of anything

« on: April 12, 2017, 03:52:54 PM »

Banning trolling would be difficult to enforce, I guarantee you people would lose their minds over how arbitrary it seems. That's why you have to admit to it to get banned. I'm fairly pleased with the current rules tbh.

But when a muslim terrorist kills a few people in stockholm you barely hear or see anything from it. You suddenly need to be tolerant because muh refugees.

The news isn't a competition dude. This United Airlines story is a meme because there is live footage of it, and it's not often somebody is hurt while physically dragged off a plane. There's an inherent sensational lean to it.

Just cause one story becomes a meme doesn't trivialize acts of terrorism.
