1. You post one of those idiotic, goddamn "You Know You Are a Liberal When..." lists.


Seriously, I see one of those lists every week on here. They aren't very funny, and they aren't very insightful.

Then again, neither am I, so I guess it averages out all right.

Heh. Agreed.

They are stupid and they generalize horribly, but I still find them funny. I also find "you know a conservative when" lists funny as well. If there someone I like making fun of more than other people, its myself. :p

You know you're an attention-whore when...

1. Instead of voicing a rebuttal within the applicable thread you just have to start your very own thread for that purpose.

Hey, hey now, there's no call for that. Can't everyone just get along. :rolleyes:

My thread was the rebuttal. He had an entire thread for it, so I will have an entire thread for it. I do not want to engage in debating the validity of his original post, so I will start my own line of conversation. *Last sentence left out to avoid deletion*

His thread was an ignorant attack on a group of people he doesn't understand. Yours is no better. "He started it" isn't a valid excuse once you've finished the 3rd grade.

You started this thread to bash conservatives in general and him in particular. How is that any different from starting a thread for the purpose of bashing liberals? Granted, given the political composition of this forum, yours had a lower liklihood of being called out for it.
Your welcome, by the way.

Arguing in the offending thread would just cause more people to see it.

And ignore it, due to the plethora of nearly-identical responses.

Tell me where I bashed conservatives. I just pointed out that these lists are pointless. Notice that I even made it a point to not make a list out of it.

I never said thank you. You can keep your misspelled pleasantries to yourself.

I like Deltaepsilon, but I fear getting in a debate with him. I am also happy I live in conservative alaska

He does not seem to be a very pleasant individual, but oh well.

Where in Alaska do you reside?

Hey, if you do not have the amazing elite hacker skills to trace me, no way I am going to tell you. I lost both of my good knives so for now I have no protection other than my loud screaming and willingness to hit below the belt.

been reading the one on General forum; apart from the fact that it's totally Us centered, it's neither funny nor insightful... and what's for Sweden, you'd better not laugh; it's not an "ideal society" but it's a zillion times more civilised than USA.

3) You believe the media is liberal.
4) You believe Fox is "fair and balanced."

If you can pick up women in a Baptist Church on Sunday, you might be a conservative...

You know you’re a conservative when you can’t get a girl outside of church.

My problem outside of church was that the girl's parents always thought I was great - that's a killer right there.

Yah, so I'm planning on trying some reverse patterning on my daughter when she starts dating. I'll act like I really like the ones I hate.

Good plan. My dad's approval was usually the kiss of death for a guy.

I'll have to remember that for when my daughter starts dating. That and "just coincidentally" cleaning the shotgun when she brings one home. :)

Let me take a cheap shot here:

You know you're a conservative when you want "Thou shall not kill" up with the rest of the commandments in courts, but you're also a strong advocate of the death penalty.

It's technically an admonition against murder, not killing. Plenty of killing in God's name in the Old Testament, and even in the New Testament, Jesus tells his disciples to sell their cloaks and get some swords. Plenty of people hanged, stoned, etc., in punishment in the Bible.

Technically, according to the Old Testament, if someone comes into your house like a thief in the night, you are obligated to leap up and kill them. That's not murder.

Just doing God's will, you know.

You know you're conservative when you suddenly realize that the only conservatives in the world are obviously only Christian or Jewish. :rolleyes:

And mention that you really wouldn't mind going back to prison because it wasn't all that bad.

three hots and a cot - and usually a whole day of being outside in the fresh air, getting a little exercise by the side of the road, singing songs with your friends...
