The Checkered Pants Conservative Goes White Knuckle

[FOTD]

This forum has become so politically trite, it's now been reclassified as a waste of my time.

Would be better if W would belly up and stick with it.  1200 posts to realize that this forum is a waste of time? Is he/she new to town?  This whole town is a cesspool of petty in-fighting and name-calling, bitterly divided and split into sects and cliques, so I see the forum as perfectly normal. 

And, no, I will not grow up or accept hate speech and bigotry as acceptable.  If I am the only one who objects to an officer of the law calling a US Senator a 'b*tch' then so be it.  If I am the only one who gets that it is not funny to joke about homosexuals being executed in Iran ('well hung,' eh [REDACTED]?), or understands the relationship between using people with Down's as punch lines and the fact that 90% of babies with Down's are executed, well, then, I am indeed alone.

Maybe if society stopped encouraging stigmatizing language in regards to mental health issues more people would get help earlier, and Sullivan's condition would not have deteriorated to the point where he needed to be hospitalized.  Not sure why that is hard to get.

How dare you insult your good Christian neighbors and fellow citizens in this way!!!!

Consistency is not your strong suit, is it?

Now, that's just crazy talk.

Couldn't resist.

Fair question Mr. Believe-Iranian-Murderous-Terrorists-over-Sworn-Defenders-of-the-Constitution.

Well inasmuch that many of the opinionators here feel they are living in a dumpy backwater of cultural and intellectual louts, calling it a cesspool is not that bad!  What percentage of a cesspool has to be feces or urine or other waste to be classified as a cesspool?  I surmise that about 20% would be enough contamination to qualify a body of water as a cesspool.  Just an opinion.  It just so happens that 20% tends to float to the top and stay there.

I will venture that about 80% of Sullivan's staff are members of that 20%.
