Awesome/Funny NS quotes (not your own quotes, please)

[Benomia]

Pornographic actors are humans. Horny humans to be sure, but they have their interests outside of the stereotypical stuff.

They aren't necessarily horny.

[Wikkiwallana]

A much harder, but much more complicated and necessary discussion has to be had about how we view guns. We're not going to get the guns out of our culture, that ship sailed.

But it's this attitude about guns, their sacred nature...imagine if there was some thread about some speeder killing twenty kids on a bus doing a buck twenty on the freeway, and the first ten responses in the thread were, "Don't you dare tell us we can't drive fast! Anyone who blames driving fast for this is politicizing this tragic event!" How would we react? Would anyone respect those peoples opinions? Would anyone look at those people saying that with anything other than disgust? What kind of horrible person would rush to the defense of the speeder at a time like this?

But that's what we do with guns every time. And then starts in the whole notion that the solution to the gun problem is more guns. If only there had been more guns there, it would have worked itself out. That guns are so magical they'll fix the problems that they create. That a gun has the ability to tell who is right and who is wrong, and our aim is always true.

No one dies on battlefields because everyone has guns. The 'right' side always wins because guns know which one is which and only shoot true when the wielder is true, soldiers never accidentally shoot their own.

Guns are in our culture. Lots of people have them and most by a bunch manage to at worst only shoot themselves. The pheasant hunter, the gun range enthusiast, the collector, they're no more responsible for this on the face of it than I am for some jackanape who decides that I-80 is the autobahn. It's not the gun itself.

But, when we fall all over ourselves to make excuses for the gun, when we we create some sort of fantasy world where the gun makes bad people go away, when we look at the horrible things that guns make possible or make easier and we the first thing we think to do is try and shame anyone who questions the way we deal with guns in our culture...that's a problem. That's the problem. That we've made guns sacred, that we've given them a mythological status.

Until we sort that out we'll never have a productive conversation about guns. Instead every time the next person takes a gun and uses it for what it was designed for we'll wring our hands over whether or not it's 'okay' to talk about guns our not and never do a damned thing except clear the way for the next one.

Hear, hear!

I'm sorry, I can't see anyone justifying Syngman Rhee, all I can see is you tossing out strawmen like it's harvest-time in Somerset.

Two for one:

Oh you.

It's Mother of Celestia, you blasphemer!

Testing da flag.

Why do you have a flag of a Christmas ornament wearing a thong?

[The Republic of Lanos]

Oh you Fris.

You know, I am known far and wide as a master of practical jokes.

If you can get me two more aerobatic pilots, three aircraft with sky writing equipment, a couple more accomplices, and some PA equipment, we can engineer the greatest practical joke against Westboro of all time.

Interesting. I am intrigued. I'm also intrigued by the NSG Pie Brigade idea. One thing that has me concerned is that these people love to be harassed. They love to be the martyrs and targets. They get off on it almost as much as they get off on taking up court time.

If I'm going to do something, it's going to have to be something that takes them by surprise. Something that will hit them where it hurts instead of where they expect. I want to make them look like the bad guys. I want to put into start relief just how evil their bile is. I don't want them to be able to fall back on their righteous indignation. I want them to humiliate themselves.

This will be epic.

Not if they manage to create android cat girls. Owning machinery, even if it looks remarkably humanoid, is totally legal.

But then the question becomes:
Do android cat girls dream of electric mice?

This is why I like TET.

Even when discussing Nazis with several radically different people, we can all keep our heads and have a mature conversation.

We're being civil? Shit we gotta fix this! Break out the strawmen and load your rifles for Ad Homien attacks!! THE BATTLE BEGINS AT DAWN!

Damn, I'd let my south secede all over Omar al-Bashir.

[Reggae Magmia]

The penis is an antenna for receiving God's signals.

Eve: Here Adam. Have a bite of the fruit.

Adam: Sure!

God: Stop Adam!

Adam: God? Why is your voice coming from my penis?

God: Minor design flaw that I should have foresaw. I couldn't stop Eve from becoming tempted because she doesn't have one.

Adam: ಠ_ಠ Fuck this.

[Kouralia]

That's where we differ greatly. Showing up drunk or hungover isn't a problem unless you're too drunk to fight. If that happens, you get given an sword and are pushed to the front of the lines. Or, occasionally, strapped to the front of a tank.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE DRUNKEN SOLDIER WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE DRUNKEN SOLDIER WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE DRUNKEN SOL
OH HOLY FUCK WHAT

why don't we just live like a video game

Because having to insert a coin every time you die is expensive unless you can find extra lives.

Apparently they spent their time in something called "A Debate", where one person would say a thing and then another person would say an opposite thing. Then, while these two say opposite things to each other, other people join in saying opposite things. Or posting little yellow animations that would either show support or disgust for a certain thing.

At that point, something called a 'source' is asked for. For prolonged rituals, there would be debate on whether or not a source is needed or would be accepted. For ones not likely to be accepted there was an exceptional amount of priming where the source provider pre-shames everyone for not liking their source. Then the source is provided, and everyone complains about the source. Popular complaints are "bias" "unreliable" "blog" and "it doesn't say what you think it says.

This process continues until someone gets to accuse the other of something called a 'fallacy'. Apparently, they come in many varieties but only three are ever really named. This apparently "wins" the argument by calling this foul, and then the debate either moves on to fallacies themselves or two posters trying to assure the other that they have won the match.

Occasionally someone writes in red letters warning one of the posters that they have broken a set of rules and that they should calm down.

Later, they tell each other what their favorite fictional character is. This, too, might develop into a debate.

never seen NS so succinctly put.

Oh, I thought it made you crave for something else

Why yes, I crave some sexxy Arabic girls too.

Very Deserving:

The slaughter at the elementary school in CT happened because guns are banned, which gave the shooter free reign.

Oh, and may I add that a year ago Rep. Ron Paul introduced a bill to allow faculty at schools to carry guns.

If I may apply a well beloved phrase, fuck that, sideways, with a rabid porcupine, no lube.

Seriously? Great idea, let's arm students! After all, there's no possibility of children or teens ever misusing firearms, amirite?

Oh, you mean arm the teachers? GREAT! It's not like teachers would ever have to worry about a student trying to go for their gun when (not if, when) there's a problem and the teacher needs to confront a student. Not to mention just how calm people feel in the presence of guns, obviously it would have a great effect on students feeling comfortable and safe in their classroom, seeing a gun on a teacher's hip, or knowing that s/he's packing. After all, just look how relaxed folks are around police.

Or, I know, we'll store it in the teacher's desk! Yeah! There's an idea, an unsecured weapon in a room that is accessed by multiple children daily sure isn't a recipe for something going wrong.

Ok, how about the teacher's lounge? That's usually secure, right? Of course, that means that should a shooting happen, I'd be asked to abandon my students, the ones who are probably in a panic and looking to their teacher to help them, guide them, and save them, in order to go quite a bit away to get my gun just so I can play Dirty Harry.

And of course crossfire isn't dangerous at all in an enclosed building, nope, bullets fired by teachers will be SMART bullets from hanging around the school and will not hit anyone else. And of course, God forbid, if the shooter happens to BE a student (Because that has never happened at all), well teachers who work with those children Monday through Friday, laugh with them, teach them, guide them, comfort them, interact with them, cry with them, sometimes want to smack them, true, but having that kind of bond, there's no problem with asking a teacher to put a bullet into one of their own students. No, no problem what-so-ever.

What scares me is that there's people who honestly think that the above is a good idea, and some of them are members of Congress!

Of course, for me, the point is moot given I live in a country that has a handgun ban, strict control over any other firearms, and where when shooting deaths hit 11 one year caused a massive scandal that ended up with a cabinet reshuffle and the resignation of the head of the National Police Agency.

Let's just say that a popular response for most of this year during certain team discussions has generally involved expressing a recommendation for the anal application of a horizontal cactus to the subject of the discussion.

EDIT TO ADD: Well, that and innuendos about Sedge and CG.
