No. Fantasan is a Nazi. Nowhere did I advocate beating people with sticks.

No. Fantasan is a Nazi.

Incertonia is referring to Fantasan's habit of writing insulting parodies of other ideologies. And with that, I plunge into the debate on TBoNR...

"Article III: All people should be shot."

Not much of a difference really.

Fantasan said HE wanted to beat people with sticks.

I'm saying SOME OF MY OPPONENTS want to shoot people.

So yes there is a difference.

This is a little off-topic, but not much.

TGM, why did you support a proposal that said, essentially, "TGM, shut up!"?

It was the Read a Book proposal, I believe.

I'm going to have to agree with Goobergunchia, it seems you have been bitten by the Fantasan bug.

Now stand still while I stab you with a lead commie beating stick, it's the only way...

You're joking right?
27-09-2003, 01:55
O_o Are you a complete dipshit? Get rid of currency? No trade? Do you want us to suffer? Don't propose this resolution. If you do, do it so it can be crushed 12,384 to 482!!!!!!!

We like Article 1. It's amusing. It should also order the tides to stand still.

TGM - we don't often agree - though we are on the same side of the political spectrum - but this hurts your credibility. Just some friendly advice.

I concur. Jokes are one thing. Submitting them as proposals is another.

Huh sounds like a cult idealism...

I have to agree Global (may I call you that?) it is a bit of a descent into fantassan land, isn't it. Albeit slightly better written, it's the same type of petulant tantrum that doesn't really pass muster in the lame-jokes league.

try and stick to your own forte, this doesn't suit you.

Article VIII: Free expression should be abolished. Someone might get offended.
I- Pornography and prostitution degrade women
II- Gambling exploits the poor
III- Religion manipulates the gullible
That's simply true!

No. I endorsed two of your proposals already, neither of which I really agreed with, but this just goes beyond the pale.
