Vegans #1 Cause of Silly Headlines

Unread postby Tanada » Tue 18 Aug 2015, 09:27:59

Yes folks if you want really over the top silly headlines you need look no further than your favorite Vegan, for they will soon spout out some crazy sounding concept deadpan, because they really believe it.

You went to all this trouble because d's post touched a nerve in you? You don't know why obviously because you are not providing any information or any evidence to refute the claim - just wasting a forum post on a very fucking lame amateurish, childish ad hominem. Where are all the charts and graphs countering the argument the peer reviewed makes? I think d is more or less using the study to support a moral position, but at least he is offering something other than basically calling anyone who disagrees a po po head. What is it that disturbs you so?

What disturbs me is:

1). You make an ad-hom name calling attack.

2). You do this while calling out the attackee for a supposed ad hom.

3). You spell poo (or pooh) as po. You didn't learn about poo, and how to use it in say, the 3rd grade? (Or were you cleverly trying to define "irony", and provide an example?)

4). You seem disturbed to the point of being fighting mad, while claiming the attackee is disturbed? Ever hear of projection?

Generally, what disturbs me about the left wing "morally superior" POV is how frequently its purveyors stoop to the ludicrously ironic while attacking those supposedly "less moral", and see that as somehow justified or even "good".

Grow the heck up. There are other points of views besides your own.
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.

Sense of humour much? Some members here seem to get wound up awfully tight over whatever sacred cow they have being targeted. A person who can not relax and accept that others have a different viewpoint is always looking for a fight instead of enjoying life for what it is.

I bet you just got back from breakfast with your atheist best friend who explained why all your religious views are bullshit, because you love tolerance so much.

They do tend to give their opinion when not asked I will agree PS. Love you/their "tolerance" shoved down throats.

Looks like conservatism and some form of religious belief often go together.
Sounds logical to me.
Fear of life changes, and fear of death all rolled into one.

Yeah, this was kind of a silly topic headline, but free speech should allow a lot worse than that (Thank Dog).

Aw Hawk, that's so sweet but clueless. Religious folks tend not to fear death as much. And it helps most folks with life changes.

You should change the headline to 'Invitation for far righties to attack the left once again while claiming to be the victims.'

There was ABSOLUTELY NO USEFUL CONTENT to the first post. I reported you to you. There was nothing in the first post but right-wing dog whistle, as proven by Cog and Fishman immediately jumping up and down and barking.

Some people really need to develop a sense of humor. Somehow people think ad hom attacks and accusations of some kind of X-ism or other being the fault.

Take a deep breath and relax, life is way, way to short to gent bent into pretzels over a little harmless humor posted around this website now and then.

I just saw Doboi's thread as a friendly troll thread to liven up the evening- no harm intended.

I totally agree - my first reaction to the headline was a chuckle.
Not everything is part of the proletariat struggle :)
