yeah, well i hope you lose your insurance and die of cancer in six months. ::hugs::

all the bitching could be responded w/ 'I agree lets get rid of the electoral college howbout right now ps george bush'.

xp uh

That was tremendously shitty, amateurist.

How would Republicans frame their whining after 2000? Agree that they would, just trying to figure out they'd approach that. (Republicans being such sticklers for consistency...)

well he apparently wishes ill on america so he can indulge his own vision of the country as headed for satan's gates, so you know, backatcha.

xpost

Wow, I got to use Flag Post twice today!

i just dont want to hear abt it for four years, can you imagine how insufferable my god

That'd be quicker than 12 years of NADER NADER NADER tho, right?

I think hamateurist is overestimating the degree to which my insurance depends on the Imperial Manager. You guys still believe what the candidates SAY is what's gonna happen, that's so cuuuute.

I don't want it to happen, but I would be very curious to see how a Romney/Biden administration played out.

it would make a good tv show

i didn't say anything about how or why you'd lose your insurance.

biden could try to teach romney how to have fun, take him out to parties

teach him how to dance

That was tremendously shitty, amateurist.

in a game show, maybe

xxxp

dude you just wished that an ilxor w/ irl health problems dies, that's shitty no matter what their political opinion is

Obamacare not actually fully implemented yet but Morbs' libertarian bent aside, that was not cool amateurist.

i didn't actually wish it. just throwing his misanthropy back in his self-satisfied face.

if you want to ban me, please do.

xpost libertarian? He's lots of other -arians, but not that one.

yeah I'm more offended by being accused of being a liberatarian!!! I want all the handouts I can get, and Obamacare has not delivered me from having to go to work almost every day w/ cancer.

however "self-satisfied," fuck you. I hate myself p often.

cmon morbs sometimes you can have a left-libertarian streak, see: soda ban

I know, but in that instance the phrase "Imperial Manager" sorted of pivoted him to a libertarian-like mocking of All-Powerful Government Overlords xposts

You guys still believe what the candidates SAY is what's gonna happen, that's so cuuuute.

its still unclear to me after all these years if morbs thinks his lazy ass zings are actually incredibly insightful and cutting, but it is nobel how fast you all jump to defend someone who spends all day calling you idiots, also obvs amateurist doesnt actually hope that morbs dies, he was making a point abt the nihilism which he constantly presents as the highest moral order, which is not to say its wasnt in extremely poor taste

InfoMorbs

no, the POTUS is a middle manager cuz All-Powerful are the corporate overlords that Mittens openly serves and Obama pretends not to.

icey, look up "nihilism."

If Morbs thinks everyone is an idiot, then no one is an idiot.

whered that come from

icey, look up "nihilism."

another stinging rebuke from the master

"I hope you... die of cancer" was pretty much the takeaway of your post

you topped morbs' generalized misanthropy with a very ugly and specific statement, I'm not a fan of banning but I hope you realize the size of the line you stepped over

I hope a rape survivor never irritates you

xps

I do not mean to call very many ppl here idiots. I'd say my chief frustration w/ your awareness of Obama's corporate-status quo-police state-shit is that it all adds up to ZERO if you hold it in your pocket and vote for him and his ilk anyway, esp in a safe state where your vote is literally *thrown away* on behalf of things you profess not to believe in.

and also Congress is more imporatnt anyway

what does voting green party add up to

Part of me feels like we should all sign some pledge and post it on this thread once a week that acknowledges that corporate influence and a plutocracy essentially runs the US and that our government is corrupt and that we don't agree with drone strikes or kill lists or infinite detention and that we really hate the idea of our tax dollars going to blow up 2 year old villagers in Afghanistan and elsewhere. But then, idk, part of me just wants to let the old man bark at the moon.

lag∞n, not defending Morbs so much as declaring that wishing death on someone with cancer is a tremendously shitty thing to do, whether in jest or no.

voting for things I believe in; corny I know. I dodn't wanna do it, but the oinky Long Island police took care o' that.

xxp

Gukbe 100% OTM right there. But, yeah, making the pledge isn't going to stop anything.

I don't mind dark would-be jokes even from a POS like amateurist, I'd rather ppl not do a 180 on hating me for the rong reasons.

I hope a rape survivor never irritates you

that's not a good analogy.

morbs wishes romney would win, for reasons best known to himself. which would likely mean the repeal of the recent health-care legislation. however imperfect the bill was, this would newly endanger a lot of people--or mean that people at risk thanks to lank of insurance would continue to be at risk. that means people dying. but apparently that's cool w/ morbs because we need some kind of slide into serfdom to kick us in the pants, or something. again, i was just throwing his misanthropy back in his face. i figured that was obvious. i know it was obvious to morbs.

Yeah, I don't think anyone missed the underlying point of what you were saying, amateurist. It just doesn't make what you said any more okay.

Morbs doesn't really attack individual ILXors, just provides constant cold water in a board full of Obama-stans.

also just as i'm not offended by morbs calling me a POS b/c he doesn't actually know me at all, morbs shouldn't be terribly offended by anything anyone says about him on here since we're only reacting to his internet persona. i'm sure IRL he's a swell guy, kind to animals and urchins, generous in bed, etc. etc.

You really think so? xp

The thing is, there aren't really any Obama-stans here. xpost

These threads are kind of a perfect encapsulation of the problems of the Western Left in the last 50 years though, so kudos to that.

morbs wishes romney would win, which would likely mean the repeal of the recent health-care legislation

disagree

most of us are only obama-stans in morbius's manichean vision. it obv makes him happy to imagine he's the only person with a critical intelligence on here, so he goes on pretending this to be so.

morbz: lighting farts, cursing our darkness

Morbs does not punctuate his posts with "Am i the only person who sees this?/This is the only truth!" I just see him as one voice among many. I mean even i may get sick at "DRONES!" alarmism from time to time, but you can't deny it's real and it's something to take into consideration.

it may not be a good analogy but it would be just as offensive if you told a rape survivor "hope you get raped ::hugs::", no matter what your intent or context. not sure why you're having trouble grasping that.

morbs' dislike of obama can appear facile, kneejerk, or of the wake-up-sheeple variety, but I don't doubt that it's rooted in principle that he just spelled out pretty clearly. I miss old school lefty outrage.
