Sorry, I suppose I wasn't clear enough. Let me transplant your logic into a new situation: Why do people who don't molest children think they can judge whether it's right? The only way you can have an informed view is if you molest children. Let's take a poll now: everyone who rapes kids, raise you...

"You can only have a valid opinion of TET if you actively participate in it. Hm? No, I don't see how that skews the response sample at all." Good to see that you got the gist of it. Really, how does hearing second-hand comments and making an opinion based off of that worth anything? And c...

TET is a pathetic joke of a forum that does not belong in NSG; that's my general opinion of it. It's nothing but a waste of bandwidth. Why do people I never see around in TET think they know what's best for it? "You can only have a valid opinion of TET if you actively participate in it. Hm? No...

I have to assume the Arabic section of Al-Jazeera has a different culture. The English-language part is mostly news not covered by other outlets, when it's not well-meaning bumbling about along the lines of "Islam and Christianity are totally not jokes/religion is still relevant LALALA." I...

Another problem is that I do not think, in the history of NSG, has anyone truly won a debate. Every so often, you get a person conceding that they're incorrect and changing their opinion appropriately. I'd say that qualifies as a win (even if it is a wishy-washy "everyone gets a medal" wi...

I've seen some decent folk in F7. It's not all as bad as you seem to think it is. Sure, there's bad apples, but it's not solely bad apples. Let's take a look at the first few threads in F7 right now: In war, would you fight with or against above nation? (pt2) - [6600 posts] Rate the sig above you -...

Eurgh, have you been to F7? Ever? It's populated solely by dregs. Folding that back into General would be like combining NYC and its landfills.

I highly doubt that it was the occasional use of chemical weapons that prompted this. Almost certainly it was Russia's and Iran's recent action of arming their fellow authoritarian regime- the Assad regime, with superior military equipment (described here ), which prompted the United States to resp...

There's some evidence that bikers are safer in large numbers (cars give them extra space and whatever), and mandating helmets reduces the use of bikes and causes a decrease in safety.

It's not very rigorous evidence, but I hate helmets, so I'm going to push this.

wee woo wee woo here comes the wahhhh-mbulance, ifreann, i've altered the authorities and they're on their way to take you to the burn ward You..altered the authorities? Why would you alter them? The authorities were fine the way they were. I know it wasn't a perfect system, but your alterations ar...

Regardless, it's irrelevant and tasteless that should better be described as 'maliciousness'. Alright, so you don't enjoy black humour. The fact remains that most humans consider such humour to be amusing, at least in some circumstances. It is a legitimate form of humour. Enlighten me... what other...

9/11 was a public event that effected thousands of people. Trig is a boy who happens to be the son of Sarah Palin. Apart from that, he has no claim to fame or public life. Why should he be subjected to the same 'humor' that well-known, divisive people are? The act was clearly a poorly-aimed potshot...

Isn't that like, kind of sexist to say such a thing?

Don't be silly. Why would anyone consider it sexist to refer to a woman as a worthless cock holster?

If you're taking into account political correctness, you can't put of the blue say that someone is black, or retarded, if that isn't relevant in the conversation. Even then, words like that tend to cause offence to some people, so even it has to be brought up in conversation, more PC words have to ...

Calling a politician's son, who's never done anything to ignite public anger or opinion, retarded is not black humour. Making a joke out of Heather Mills' disability, for example, is black humour because she's a very divisive figure and is also an adult who can probably take a limited degree of moc...

Fine, here's a full response: there's a thin line between humor and tastefulness, a line this buffoon has clearly crossed. First of all, why would you make a joke about a child having Down syndrome? It's not just unfunny, it's morally detestable. It's pretty laughable that you're trying to justify ...

He is. Anyone with an IQ under 70 is retarded, that includes all but a negligible portion of people with down syndrome. Obviously, the offence generated is not due to the medical classification of the kid as mentally retarded. Mostly because "retardation" isn't used in a medical context a...

Well that's told me. I guess I was totally wrong about how this is pretty banal for a professional comedian, and your post about how "typical liberals" are child-hating monsters was totally spot-oh no wait everything you've said has been totally wrong.

Someone call the air ambulance, I'm suffocating under all this fucking persecution, shit.

I have no idea who this is, but if he's a comedian, what did you expect? Have you ever seen a comedian before? Do you know what comedy is?

Are you a robot?

One word: Alienware. Why pay $1500 for a powerful computer when you could pay $3000 for a gaudy bauble instead? I wanted my computer to play games on the side but couldn't afford having the very latest hardware, so my solution was simple. Play older games! Instead of a gaming machine, it is almost ...

Alright fine I'll contribute: strike laptops off your list entirely, if this is intended to be a gaming PC. Laptops have serious issues with heat dispersion which will limit their performance in more taxing applications, and in the longer run you'll also have problems with the unitary "lump&quo...
