Well, this is going to be very simple. I will compare George Bush with a donut. It seems that ignorant liberals are comparing him with alot of irrrelevant things, so I feel this is fair.

A DONUT... Makes you fat.

GEORGE BUSH... Funds the military and police to protect your loved ones from people who want to hurt them

A DONUT... Has the IQ of a donut, and gradutated from that Kripsy Kreme just down the street and to the left.

GEORGE BUSH... Scored 1200 on his SAT's, which is almost perfect, graduated from Yale, an Ivy League university, and attended Harvard Business School, a very, very prestigious business school.

A DONUT... comes in many varieties, which makes choosing the right one a very time-consuming and daunting task.

GEORGE BUSH... comes in one simple form, a wise, caring and sensible man.

A DONUT... Will cave in/give in if you smash it or poke it.

GEORGE BUSH... Remains strong and steadfast in the face of terror, danger and criticism.

A DONUT... Just sits there on the table in front of you.

GEORGE BUSH... Runs an entire nation every day and still has time for an international summit.

And there you have it. If someone can compare George Bush to Tic-Tacs, I can compare George Bush to a donut. Viola.

Plus I think very few people, if anyone at all, would want to eat George Bush *munches on a doughnut*.

but i like donuts

doughnut*

and to be technical, there are at least two george bushes. (you said he came in one variety...)

GEORGE BUSH... Scored 1200 on his SAT's, which is almost perfect, graduated from Yale, an Ivy League university, and attended Harvard Business School, a very, very prestigious business school.

Everyone knows you can always buy your way into Yale and especially Harvard. And if Bush got a 1200 on his SAT's then why does he sound like he got a 600?

1600 is a perfect score on the sats, 1200 while respectable probably isn't even in the top 10%

Everyone knows you can always buy your way into Yale and especially Harvard. And if Bush got a 1200 on his SAT's then why does he sound like he got a 600?
1200 won't get you into the ivy leagues either unless you're a legacy or have some other factors in your favor. sats alone won't get you in anyway but 1200 is more than likely a moderate negative when applying to schools that selective.

GEORGE BUSH... Funds the military and police to protect your loved ones from people who want to hurt them


Congress funds the military and police, the president has really a lot less to do with the budget and how the money is spent than most people think.

GEORGE BUSH... Scored 1200 on his SAT's, which is almost perfect, graduated from Yale, an Ivy League university, and attended Harvard Business School, a very, very prestigious business school.


1200 on the SAT's is NOT almost perfect, its slightly above average. The SAT goes to 1600


A DONUT... comes in many varieties, which makes choosing the right one a very time-consuming and daunting task.

GEORGE BUSH... comes in one simple form, a wise, caring and sensible man.


Personal opinion there, i could just as easily call him a foolish heartless idiot..bad argument.


A DONUT... Will cave in/give in if you smash it or poke it.

GEORGE BUSH... Remains strong and steadfast in the face of terror, danger and criticism.


Or science, or logic, or the truth of the matter.


A DONUT... Just sits there on the table in front of you.

GEORGE BUSH... Runs an entire nation every day and still has time for an international summit.


Being as international summits are part of his job description i hope he has time for them.


And there you have it. If someone can compare George Bush to Tic-Tacs, I can compare George Bush to a donut. Viola.

Yup, its just unfortunate you cant compare things very well. Your flame attempt gets a C-

1600 is a perfect score on the sats, 1200 while respectable probably isn't even in the top 10%
Oh, I apoligize. I must be thinking of a different test.

Well, it's still higher than most people can achieve.

Congress funds the military and police, the president has really a lot less to do with the budget and how the money is spent than most people think.

Oh, no. I'm being graded. What am I going to fail at?

Flame attempts? What flame attempts? Where did you see me attacking somebody? The only person or thing I was CLOSE to attacking was a donut.

And if you're going to use that "personal opinion" and bitch about my inability to compare things, let's see how many people compare George Bush to a peanut, a box of Tic-Tacs, or another inanimate object.

Stop talking about food. You're making me hungry! Bastards...

Whee! Let's play with the troll.


A DONUT... Makes you fat.

GEORGE BUSH... Funds the military and police to protect your loved ones from people who want to hurt them

Doesn't fund anyone - that's the job of Congress.

Or, if you prefer, who watches the watchmen?

A DONUT... Has the IQ of a donut, and gradutated from that Kripsy Kreme just down the street and to the left.

GEORGE BUSH... Scored 1200 on his SAT's, which is almost perfect, graduated from Yale, an Ivy League university, and attended Harvard Business School, a very, very prestigious business school.

Almost perfect? Right...

Attended? Not graduated?

A DONUT... comes in many varieties, which makes choosing the right one a very time-consuming and daunting task.

GEORGE BUSH... comes in one simple form, a wise, caring and sensible man.

All unsupported by any sort of evidence.

A DONUT... Will cave in/give in if you smash it or poke it.

GEORGE BUSH... Remains strong and steadfast in the face of terror, danger and criticism.

You left out "facts", "international outrage", "intelligence from CIA and allies", and "reason".

A DONUT... Just sits there on the table in front of you.

GEORGE BUSH... Runs an entire nation every day and still has time for an international summit.

Must be the free lunch - he certainly doesn't pay attention to any of the relevent discussions at any of them.

And there you have it. If someone can compare George Bush to Tic-Tacs, I can compare George Bush to a donut. Viola.

I'm sure you feel so much better now.

Well, this is going to be very simple. I will compare George Bush with a donut. It seems that ignorant liberals are comparing him with alot of irrrelevant things, so I feel this is fair.


The tired repetition of "Ignorant liberals" its overused, lacks the punch it used to have, find something new.

Well, I don't mean to be rude, but...

GEORGE BUSH RUINED AMERICA

Not to mention the fact that he's a backstabbing, oil guzling, war-mongering, nuclear mispronouncing idiot.

Nice spelling of voila by the way, I never thought of calling it a musical instrument before.

Haha, so anybody who bashes Christianity, Bush or America is 'A person expressing a valid personal opinion', but somebody who is in favour of any of these things is obviously a flagrant troll who should be banned.
I dont like Bush, hell, I dont even really like America, but sometimes I am forced to give up all hope for people in general :rolleyes:

Oh, I apoligize. I must be thinking of a different test.

Well, it's still higher than most people can achieve.
my dad got 1450.

one of my friends got 1600 when he was 12 (he was in a rather advanced school) they then made him repeat his feat.

though i suppose my friend doesn't count... they can't really chart his iq... they gave him a range.

i got a 1495 myself, and my high school gpa was a 2.3...

i believe 1200 is about average, actually...

Congratulations, Mr. President: You're Mediocre.

Hmm misquote, words not spoken, words not spoken.

Never said the above...never hinted at the below. Thanks for attempting to put words in my mouth however.

1020 is average.

Nice spelling of voila by the way, I never thought of calling it a musical instrument before.

And as any musician can tell you, there are only two instruments more offensive to the ear than a viola: Two violas. (Violae?)

It's funny - all the lengths the original poster went to to illustrate how much more effective a leader Bush is than a doughnut, and yet only 50-odd percent of Americans love Bush, while the vast majority love doughnuts.

Go figure.

Well, this is going to be very simple. I will compare George Bush and Incenjucarnia's president, The Incenjucar, with a donut. It seems that ignorant persons are comparing him with alot of less dangerous things, so I feel this is fair.

A DONUT... Just sits there not doing anything.

GEORGE BUSH... Spends your tax dollars to send your military-employed loved ones in to other countries to get shot at, and hasn't shot the police in the face yet, you know, like every other president since they added a police force to this country.

The Incenjucar... Spends taxed scales on keeping the citizens of Incenjucarania safe, rather than sending them out to be shot at.

A DONUT... Has the IQ of a donut, and gradutated from that Kripsy Kreme just down the street and to the left; for a donut, it's impressive to graduate from ANYTHING.

GEORGE BUSH... Has the IQ of a donut, Scored 1200 on his SAT's, which is almost perfect if perfect is a "C+" , graduated from Yale, an Ivy League university, and attended Harvard Business School, a very, very prestigious business school.

The Incenjucar is aware that his name is in really bad Latin, scored 1300+ on his SATs, aces classes he mostly naps through, has a habit of making the dean's list, and only had a middle class income backing him. The Incenjucar also knows how to spell "doughnut".

A DONUT... comes in many varieties, which makes choosing the right one a very time-consuming and daunting task, if you have absolutely no idea what you like, or are so easy to please that any donut is equally delicious.

GEORGE BUSH... comes in one simple form, a wise, caring and sensible man, whom Dubya killed and stole the skin of, MIB Alien Style.

The Incenjucar has his own form, and it doesn't blink rapidly when he says he cares.

A DONUT... Will cave in/give in if you smash it or poke it.

GEORGE BUSH... Remains strong and steadfast in the face of terror, danger and criticism. Just not intellectual argumentation. In fact, Bush is so strong and steadfast that he'll lash out before you even DO anything, whether or not you're even a threat. And then he'll pretend its your fault.

The Incenjucar will laugh like the Doughboy when poked, then sweep kick you on your rear.

A DONUT... Just sits there on the table in front of you, not choking on pretzals.

GEORGE BUSH... Runs an entire nation every day and still has time for an international summit, because, as we all know, he's the only person in the government. He can't, however, be bothered to deal with African American organizations.

The Incenjucar... Is able to admit that he has help running his nation, and that he's not getting told things by a magic bigoted man in the sky, and can actually be bothered to have a long discussion with those who dislike his methods. The Incenjucar also dislikes the taste of pretzals, so is guaranteed a long life.

And there you have it. If someone can compare George Bush to a human being, I can compare mispelling of doughnut to the ever pleasant Incenjucar. Piano.

1020 is average.

Is it? Hmm. i don't know how i feel about the majority of people in the united states scoring a 1020.

Then again, i don't feel great about 100 being an average IQ either. i'm very unhappy about that.

Hmm misquote, words not spoken, words not spoken.

Never said the above...never hinted at the below. Thanks for attempting to put words in my mouth however.
Who says he was talking to you? He did not quote you. Thelona did call him a troll and you did say it was a flame.

Hmmm.

George Bush......................................................................Donut

I don't know, seems like a pretty even match to me.

Well, this is going to be very simple. I will compare George Bush with a donut. It seems that ignorant liberals are comparing him with alot of irrrelevant things, so I feel this is fair.

A DONUT... Makes you fat.

GEORGE BUSH... Funds the military and police to protect your loved ones from people who want to hurt them.
Doughnuts only make you fat if you don't excercise at all.
It's not like W is the only person who would fund the police and military. I don't remember hearing John Kerry's plan to abolish all law enforcement and defense.

A DONUT... Has the IQ of a donut, and gradutated from that Kripsy Kreme just down the street and to the left.

GEORGE BUSH... Scored 1200 on his SAT's, which is almost perfect, graduated from Yale, an Ivy League university, and attended Harvard Business School, a very, very prestigious business school.
Krispy Kreme has the best dougnuts in the world, so that's not half bad for a dougnut.
I scored a 1500 on my SAT's (believe it if you want too) which is a lot closer to perfect than W's score.

A DONUT... comes in many varieties, which makes choosing the right one a very time-consuming and daunting task.

GEORGE BUSH... comes in one simple form, a wise, caring and sensible man.
It's better to have too many choices than not enough. Would you rather spend 5 miutes buying a plain glazed dougnut every day, or spend 10 minutes getting a different doughnut each day?
W, although I will say he has his heart in the right place, is not exactly what I would refer to as wise.

A DONUT... Will cave in/give in if you smash it or poke it.

GEORGE BUSH... Remains strong and steadfast in the face of terror, danger and criticism.
If it didn't it would be a really stale doughnut, and who likes a stale doughnut? Nobody.

He does remain strong and steadfast, but he's a littel too strong and steadfast. He attacked Iraq without cause, and has never once stopped to reevaluate his position.

A DONUT... Just sits there on the table in front of you.

GEORGE BUSH... Runs an entire nation every day and still has time for an international summit.
I personally don't like it when my doughnut runs away, it makes it hard to eat it.

He also had time to read a story about goats to 1st graders while people died in the World Trade Center, and to take more vacation time than any other president in history.

Who says he was talking to you? He did not quote you. Thelona did call him a troll and you did say it was a flame.


No one called for banning, no one claimed people bashing those three things were simply "expressing a valid personal opinion", and if you scroll up you'll see exactly what i called a flame. The bolded statement was intended to incite negative attention from those who associate themselves liberal or were involved with the other threads. Thats pretty much a flame, which i graded at a c- because its been overused on these boards.

Is it? Hmm. i don't know how i feel about the majority of people in the united states scoring a 1020.

Then again, i don't feel great about 100 being an average IQ either. i'm very unhappy about that.
well its actually the people who take the test, those interested in college. if all highschool students took it the score would probably average around 100 points lower. also its a moving scale, with 1000 as the ideal average, the test is constantly being adjusted so one years score isn't exactly the same level of acheivement as the next, and a larger variation probably occures over time. far more people take the test now than did in the 60s when bush took it. a 1200 then is probably moderately but signifigantly better than a 1200 now.

Well, this is going to be very simple. I will compare George Bush and Incenjucarnia's president, The Incenjucar, with a donut. It seems that ignorant persons are comparing him with alot of less dangerous things, so I feel this is fair.
....
And there you have it. If someone can compare George Bush to a human being, I can compare mispelling of doughnut to the ever pleasant Incenjucar. Viola.

Actually, Donut and doughnut are both widely accepted spellings. Like "color" and "colour". It's all in the region you come from.

Some have been known to pronouce doughnuts as dog nuts.

And I'm afraid, for some of you, that I must agree with the person who commented on somehow magically becoming a flagrant troll once you support something. Bush-bashing through means of comparisons, and maybe even obvious petty insults, is widely accepted as an expression of your beliefs, and yet, somehow, when I post a parody of the comparison of Bush and a Tic-Tac (see http://maddox.xmission.com/tictacs.html ), I'm suddenly a troll?

Wow. Kind of a long jump, going from expression of beliefs to a troll.

Doughnuts only make you fat if you don't excercise at all.
...various bubblegum assertions...
He also had time to read a story about goats to 1st graders while people died in the World Trade Center, and to take more vacation time than any other president in history.

It's certainly nice to hear a coherent voice from the extremist moderate front.

</sarcasm>

Yes, i'm here to pick on everybody. If i can, whose fault is it? Hint: Not the Bill of Rights.

A Donut is an oil-soaked sugar-coated snack that is nothing but empty calories.

And Bush is an oil-soaked sugar-coated politician that is nothing but empty words.

:D

Expression of personal belief has nothing to do with antagonism. Parody, by definition, does. QED: Trolling. Personally, i have a lot of respect for Maddox; he's not going to be a politician any time soon, but he has a valid means of expressing his opinions, the intellect to rationalize them, and the capability to defend himself in the face of morons. Unlike......... a certain Presi-ahemdonut. Ahem. But then, that's just an opinion, and you wouldn't gainsay my opinion, now would you?

P.S. Did you really have to quote the whole thing? Let me introduce you to elipses... (<-- that's them.)

And comparing George Bush to a doughnut is a coherent way of asserting his virtue as a president?
in all fairness, this was stated to be a parody of another comparison in the first post

Donut is the result of company names. Much like a paper tissue is often dubbed a "Kleenex".

Its an accepted spelling, yes. But increasingly, so is l33t. Proper, depends who you ask.

Personally, I try to make something as classically phonetic as possible.

Donut looks too much like "Due Nut" to me. Dough, at least, is a derived thing, and you can hardly blame dough for not being called Doe, because the Deer for Does coalition is a strong one.

And comparing George Bush to a doughnut is a coherent way of asserting his virtue as a president?

i read my entire post three times to make sure, and i still couldn't find the part where i said it was...

Thelona did call him a troll

No, I called the argument a troll. And so it is. It's an obviously ludicrous statement designed to elicit a defensive response.

Rush Limbaugh made a career of it - the saddest thing is that millions of USians fall for it.

(And yes, all sides of the political spectrum do this - just look at this forum for any number of prime examples.)

And comparing George Bush to a doughnut is a coherent way of asserting his virtue as a president?

Don't think he can get up to the high standard that doughnuts represent?

I cannot believe people are still talking about this. I think Bush is doing a decent job. He's not a perfect president. He's not even a great president. But I think he is a pretty good guy. He seems to say what he means and follows through with it (usually). I honestly think we could have done worse in picking a president.

I think that if you take into account all that happened during his first four years, he is doing an OK job. I did vote for him in the last election, but that is only because I didn't think Kerry was a better choice.

i certainly hope it was dramatic irony that made you end that implied affront with elipses.

Okay, listen, Thelona. Unless you missed my point the first two obvious times, and the 512 subliminal suggestions, this is a PARODY.

Just for your sake, I'll repeat it again.

This is a parody of Maddox's page where he compares Bush to a Tic-Tac.

We disagree with everything except "Not a perfect president" and "not even a great president."

People have opinions.

Myself, I have issues with anyone trying to alter one of the world's most important documents solely because they wish to flip off gay people.

Okay, listen, Thelona. Unless you missed my point the first two obvious times, and the 512 subliminal suggestions, this is a PARODY.

Just for your sake, i'll repeat myself too:

A parody is inherently a Troll.

Oh, I apoligize. I must be thinking of a different test.

Well, it's still higher than most people can achieve.

I did better.

BTW - I imagine that were Bush to be literally smashed he wouldn't hold up so well either.

I did better.

BTW - I imagine that were Bush to be literally smashed he wouldn't hold up so well either.

i agree. Also, if you consider proportionate strength, it's not a great argument either; i'm sure if someone poked Dubya with a crane or something proportionate he'd be giving way faster than the Alleged Flip-Flopper Himself.

I almost did better than 1200 in 8th grade (1140). I also dislike the stances the current administration has taken in many issues, including gay marriage, merely because it's bigotry. I don't want that tainting my country's most important documents. (i realize slavery may have done this, but if you consider again, we only moved away from slavery in the constitution.)

1200 is perfect?

I got a 1360.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

You sound exactly like this one guy I knew, Erik. Erik was a little wuss. He never had any opinions 'cause he didn't want them to be wrong. ANd that's his thought on Bush. "Oh, he's doing alright" or "He's not THAT bad." Or worst of all "there's worst"


Yeah, there's worst, but there's a lot better too. A fucking WHOLE LOT better.

JFK called himself a doughnut on a trip to Berlin.

"Ich bin ein Berliner!"

Don't be a doughnut hater! Or do, but pass 'em over this away.

Doughnuts - aughghughughughughu

*Echos*

And to everyone complaining about the 1200 almost perfect error, correct for the inflation of those points from the 60's to today and you'll see that George Bush in fact scored better than any of you, because of the more lax point system. This HAS been addressed near the middle of the thread. PLEASE read the ENTIRE thread before you post ANYTHING relating to the score.

the thieving monkey is a total fool--his handlers are evil geniuses tho--anyone that thinks the moron in the white house has even one functioning brain cell needs to get their head examined

I DID read the thread, show me where it was covered-cite your sources.

Why don't you compare Bush to shit? You will find lots of similarities ...

For reference:
"Shit" was often used to refer to the brown color of the Nazi uniforms in World War 2. Usually as one of those clandestine jokes you made when the secret service wasn't watching (you hoped). You raised your arm straight in the air like for a 'Heil', and then commented in a whisper "that's how deeply in shit we are".

Of course, there are no similarities here whatsoever.
