Hmmm, I guess this forum is pretty left-wing compared to some of the other OTF's I visit. Don't see that's it's a problem, though.

My problem with this particular OTF is that it seems to be full to the top with hate and intolerance, and you, Bakerking, are part of the problem. Congrats.

Most of the people in this forum don't talk about politics and Bush bash, ect. Its the same 5 or 6 who do it over and over and over and over again. They start all the threads, have the same arguments, and say the same stupid things over and over again.

This place used to be pretty cool, but now I ignore 80% of the threads because they are the same **** again and again. Never talk about politics or *** stuff, because you will get involved in a bloodthirsty opinion war that nobody cares about. Unless of corse, you like doing that. My advice is notice, avoid, and refrain the bullcrap.

As pissed off as you may get sometimes, just ingnore, ignore, ignore. They are idiots, you are an idiot, everyone is an idiot. Arguing on the internet is like running in the junior olympics, even if you win your still a 12 year old.


i agree.. but it's getting worse and worse, i used to be able to ignore the very redundant threads.. but now they're all over the place, and i have to dig to find anything that i even want to bother reading..

it's horribly annoying that the same 4 or 5 people think that what they have to say is so terribly interesting that they have to constantly clutter the first page with their stupid threads

and before you even say it, if i had something oh so worthwhile to make a thread about, i'd have done it by now, but i don't post threads unless i have the great urge/need to

pigs are flying now.. i agreed with you on something

Secondly, it seems that you believe that, from your 2 visits, that you have us figured out. Its actually the other way around. You, like so many other conservatives who post on these forums, comes in the diluted impression that you will set us "communist hippies" straight, that you are the voice of righteousness. But all you do is feed us the ******** that comes straight from right wing media.
it's a double edged sword my friend. Both sides do it, but neither admits to it.

Its been my observation that, on this forum at least, liberals are more interested in thinking and critically examining political issues, as free from subjectivity as possible. I might agree that this forum is more liberal, but it seems that the liberals involved have more tact than to come straight out and condemn conservatives and their way of thinking/doing things.

As the leading conservative here, either go away or sit down, shut up and maybe learn a thing or two.

Yes this OTF is comprised of mainly leftists. And it's a wonderful thing too. So many people to argue with! You can get all sorts of strange viewpoints here. Everything from wild and wacky conspiracy theories to some downright serious debates about the tiniest thing.

But noooo... You had to come in and attack everybody here as ultra-liberal. Lemme tell ya something. I'm as far to the right as you can without falling off the edge into kooksville. And I highly resent being lambasted by a noob who doesn't have a clue about who we are.

You might as well go away before you wind up banned like the last two right-wing kooks did. Otherwise you'll reflect badly on me and it's tough enough being so badly outnumbered. Especially when the opposition has a couple of guys with their PhDs. Damn highly educated leftists :D

Ive been to the off topic forum mabie 2 times since playing d2, and all that i have noticed is a bunch of mindless left winged peace loving hippies here. i see threads that say "list why you hate bush here" and everything is anti-bush, but why?
Two things.

1) As previously mentioned, that thread was started by the single most right-wing individual in human history. (I mean that as a compliment Smeggypoo :D)

2) Why? What the hell do you mean why? If the title of a thread is "list reasons you don't like Bush" what responses do you expect to get?

i went into the thread and the first thing i see is someone posting that they liked the koyto protocol ... ive done some reaserch on it, as im sure that most people havnt, but if bush agreed to it, then the average fine for an American Family would be $2700-$4000 a year.
I know preserving the lives of non-human, non-whites isn't high on the conservative agenda, but there's an ecological balance in nature that white humans depend upon for survival and you're advocating destroying it over a presumed couple thousand dollars a year. If we weren't destroying it in the first place there wouldn't be any hypothetical fine.

That hypothetical fine you figured up isn't a measure of monetary cost for signing the treaty, it's a measure of how badly we as a nation are currently destroying the planet.

the next thing i see bad about him is about the war in iraq. and let me give you a little figure to ponder while you sit at home on welfare/disability 6 million jews were killed and we called it a holocaust, by conservitave estimates 1million iraqi's were mass murdered by saddam and what do we do? we go in and take him out and now people want peace, well sorry to tell you but to achieve peace, there must be war, and if you dont believe me, you are living in a bubble.
I hate to break it to you, but there's a huge difference between Hitler's holocaust and Hussein's. Hitler was conquering other nations, Hussein was sitting in a palace getting bombed every day for ten years. I don't see you up in arms over Sudan or Palestine or any other current mass-slaughterings of a particular race, so I know you understand this difference and the effect it has on policy towards the offending country. Why then is Hussein, one of the less significant of today's human rights violators, the highest and only priority?

i havnt seen any posts that are anti-kerry,
You might want to check out the search function. As far as number of threads created, how much Kerry sucks is just as hot a topic as Israel's occupation or the Iraq war or *** marriage.

im staying out of the argument but it pisses me right off when little shitty kids reply complaining about the grammar and punctuation, as if they have used proper grammar and english in every single post they have made..
grammar doesnt matter so long as the message gets across, there is no need for formality around here ;/

If I have my demographics right, over 50% of the posters here have at least some college education. Minor grammatical mistakes are one thing, but this guys grammar was atrocious. That said, attacking somebody on their grammar is lame. It's far more productive to attack the person's stark raving lunacy and incomphrehensable blithering.

There's one thing you neglected to mention about this forum. That being the anal retentive left wing hippie moderator.

That, of course, would be me.

I recommend you not unpack.

so now you attack me because of my spelling and punctuation? this isnt how i would write in anything formal, you think i write like this in college? no ... this is a online forum
But you come in here and attack people for their beliefs and call them names because of that. Somehow your arguments and defence lacks credibility.

Very true, but if it takes a few minutes to read and to try and understand what someone is posting, then you can misinterpret something which leads to more wasted time trying to clarify it. Post fairly clearly in the beginning, and you don't have that problem.

And like I said earlier, what bothered me the most was the high-and-mighty attitude that came across in Bakerking31's few posts. You want to think that your **** doesn't stink and everyone here is dumber than you? Fine, just don't expect many people to give you the time of day.

Smeg: Thank you. I have a new sig. :)

Even though we rarely agree on most matters, that was a nice post Smeg ... :thumbsup:

I think in the interest of decency, the "Bakerking31" bashing should probably stop now.
While I would prefer to label the bashing as self defense, I have to agree that we don't need to sink to such extremes.

Sooooo......
