The BORED Thread

[Rainbow]

That's why I've had to stick around. I can't let this place go dead and boring.
If there's two things I like having on forums, they are:
1.) Civil discourse and semi-serious discussions about current events and whatnot
2.) Arguments and yelling-matches with idiots or weird people
I never yell at people in real life (except my mother, because she always yells at me first; it's kind of our thing). I sometimes need to release my inner asshole.

I suppose I could find better ways to waste my time, but I like writing. It's fun.

It's fun watching you tear into someone... then getting banned for it (obviously it's not funny that you get banned.) I would like to pick your guy's brains on Kony2012, Romney vs Obama and the repeal of don't ask, don't tell.

Kony2012, Romney vs Obama and the repeal of don't ask, don't tell.

1) Fraud
2) Boring
3) As long as you can shoot straight

Good to know where you stand on that kind of stuff. :P

Sorry for my lengthy reply

Kony2012,

Romney vs Obama

and the repeal of don't ask, don't tell.

They should probably have military personnel vote on that last one. It's how they feel about it, not us.

Pretty much this.
Kony2012 is just an Internet sensation. A meme. No one talks about it anymore.

I hate politics, it never gets us anywhere.

Don't ask, don't tell never made the slightest sense to me in any way. Your sexual orientation is in no way related to your military career unless you're getting freaky with an officer for a promotional incentive. Won't make a difference in the battlefield unless you are a real dick about it. (Hah, get it? Nevermind..) If you are, then you probably deserved what you got coming. But that goes out to any jerk, really.

I have a pretty loose grip on what's going on in the elections. I just know that I've got my own principles.

I like those pictures. Obama is Stalin and Bush is Hitler. I wonder what Romney would be..

I would agree, but if they voted to put DA,DT back in place I would hope it would expand to heterosexuals as well.

I'd post it up. I would watch almost everything you guys post.

Alrighty then

Hopefully, moosedwag can upload a big file like that. Otherwise, it won’t be uploaded.

To expand...

1) We already have legislation and some combat-ready troops in place aimed at helping disarm Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army, though to be honest, I can't get excited about Uganda at all anyway, because child soldiers are neither new nor limited to Uganda, plus I don't think sub-saharan Africa can ever be fixed from the outside. On top of that, in regard to the Invisible Children campaign, much of the money donated was never going to find its way over to Africa, so that deal is a sham as far as I'm concerned.

2) I think Obama is going to defeat Romney. The one time a challenger defeated a presidential incumbent in the past 30 years was when Clinton won against Bush Sr in 1992. People were unhappy with Bush Sr, but much more importantly, they were excited about Clinton and he had a clear message of him being able to do a better job than Bush Sr at fixing the economy. Lots of people don't like Obama, but is anyone truly excited about Romney? No. Does he have a clear message? No. He can't get Obama on health care, because "Romneycare" is actually an inspiration for "Obamacare." Romney is similar to Kerry in that he's changed his opinion on certain matters several times, so on top of all that, he comes across as an indecisive or opportunistic flip flopper.

Then again, I'm the kind of lunatic who thinks that everybody ought to be free to snort a line of coke off the back of a naked gay midget hooker while shooting their Kalashnikov into the air, as long as they don't hurt anyone in the process, so I doubt I'll ever really have a mainstream politician appeal to me.

Add to that I think the two-party system sucks donkey balls... hell, I could go on and on and on about all this, so let's skip to...

3) The idea that all gay guys are going to be checking you out in the shower or trying to make a move while you're under fire is ridiculous, and gays aren't any less capable of shooting a rifle, following orders, etc, than heterosexuals. Don't Ask Don't Tell was also flawed in that some gays were dismissed without ever volunteering their sexual orientation but instead having someone discover them being gay through other means.

Once little kiddies stop thinking "eww, gay" about homosexuals, then they may find that gay rights actually make good sense, so long as they're not brainwashed by hardcore Christianity.
Sad thing is that there's no predetermined age when you stop being a little kiddie.
