Zero likes to use big words but I think he forgets basic things like his point most of the time.

Mr. Ron · 06-09-2006, 09:36 PM

I didn't make this thread to bash him or anything because I think he is a good guy. I just sometimes find myself baffled by his views.

Lies. He doesn't use big words.

~~Light Fantas Stick~~ · 06-09-2006, 09:40 PM

Well not big but often superfluous.

Egggo · 06-09-2006, 09:48 PM

Really the question we should be asking is why is it that only people like LittlePound will ever agree with what he says?

Why is it that all the intelligent people on this forum, no matter what their political views or educational focus (science, history, whatever) are, have never agreed with him on any of the fundamental topics he talks about?

Why is it that his threads have been complete failures for him?

Why?

I'm pretty inline with him on the Isreal and Palestine issue.

Religion.

But yeah, like I said before, he's a nice guy....it's just his religious standpoints that irk me. I agree with a lot of what he says outside of religion.

I agree with him on that, but not to the extreme things he's said in the past about the Palestinian people.

I like him until he starts arguing and not discussing.

Cain · 06-09-2006, 09:57 PM

His threads are almost invariably terrible.

Lately I've been feeling very odd about his posts as well. They used to rile me up so much that I would go for e-miles refuting them. But lately I've been getting the detached sense that, in the real world, nothing he ever hypothesizes, hopes for, or holds opinions about is ever true, or will ever come true.

Recent posts of his that have given me this feeling include his "let's overthrow all the corrupt African governments and let the church run things," "the South will ask for increased autonomy in the event of a pro-gay marriage legislation and I think it's a good idea," and other such things. It's all just struck me like "it matters so little that you think this." Maybe that's just because I disagree. I don't know.

My ultimate opinion is that, once you get down to it, he doesn't really take his own opinions all that seriously (which is highly contrary to my initial impression of him). He just thinks what he thinks, and he never has any good evidence or sources for thinking it but it just doesn't matter because he doesn't care. There's an almost real purity in that that I actually admire in a way. He's so foolishly extreme on so many occaisions, and he usually gets pushed to such heights by the emotional counter-arguments of people who disagree with him. So my conclusion is that as a representative of a school of political thought, he's way less threatening than the supreme bluntness of his opinions would make apparent at first.

He IS a nice guy, and I've even on occaision been able to have some fun with him in discussion.

Hababi · 06-09-2006, 10:44 PM

Awww shucks a whole thread about me. I won't even close it for now since Route 1 called me a nice guy

But dude, change your name back. This new name is creepy. And it's stigmatized by the whole hacking-turned-nazi spam thing.

Hey I'm one of the most moderate people on here. It's just that the vast majority of posters are social communists

I actually read all of Cain's post. Which is novel, because usually I just read the first sentence and then any CAPS LOCKED or bold faced statements. Hey, I have other books to read.

To 'fess up something to you: sometimes I say things just to rile you up

They most always do reflect my views, but sometimes I'll add a little bit more to the rhetoric, just to see the reaction. And it works.

Err, that's called trolling

Seriously, what the fuck.

Hell, it's not even trolling because no one finds it entertaining or humourous.

So either you're not intelligent, or you were wrong. Which is it?

both

I do

I never troll, though.

Mr. Ron · 06-09-2006, 10:53 PM

You are a nice guy, but when you say such things like " Only christian leaders are good leaders" or "Gays are incapable of real love" those statements are so fringe that it's scary.

Haha, oh poor little Steve.

Don't be so irrationally jealous that I'm taking away all your poor nice white Christian women and ending up being far more successful and happier than you just because I'm very, very, very smart and charming :-)

Actually, be a little jealous. It would be understandable. Just don't let it get in the way of your modding.

I don't remember saying that

But I wouldn't vote for a non Christian.

I don't think they're fringe at all. I think, coming from where you come from in terms of social politics, you have a distorted opinion of what fring is. Fringe would be saying gays should be shot. Or that we ought to outlaw homosexuality. I'm just conservative.

Even then, if you read the rest of the sentence (I know that's difficult with your selective fundie vision), you'd see I still don't agree with you.

Unless of course, you want to be wrong about everything?
