This simple compact contract is more symbolic than anything else. If you sign it, you will attempt to to try to follow it's rules. This is to ensure a higher quality debate. The articles are as follows:

Article I
Section 1: I won't be a n00b and pull comments out of my ass for the sake of being a douche and/or attempting to prove a point.


Signers:
Anagonia
The blessed Chris
Glitziness
Gymoor II The Return
Gruenberg
Pure Metal
Blu-tac
Neu Leonstein
Ragbralbur
Ataroa

That's it. I told you it was compact.

I'm in, and any mod can ban me if I violate them:)

I'm sorry, I can not in fair conscience sign this. Pulling comments out of my ass for the sake of proving a point is a personal specialty.
Glitziness

I'm in.

The people who really need to sign this probably won't or will just argue that they're not violating it when they are.

Oh yeah, sorry to be a tad hypocritical, but why report our 'isckle communism thread to the mods? I was officially warned for that, and frankly I thought we were mates:p

I've always followed that rule, as far as I know. So I agree to sign, of course.

When I reported it, it wasn't actually aimed at you. Not my fault if you were out of line... :p

And if you're going to take up this contract, you'll have to reshape your arguments so you aren't calling people cowards for no reason and respond to posts with actual arguments. My friendly criticism as a mate :D

It was true though, and she insulted football:mad:

I would put her on the ignore list, but its too damn funny:p

And this is bad because...?
Glitziness

How was she a coward? Because the person she was arguing against was so hopeless and infuriatingly unopen to any other view that she unsurprisingly got fed up of him/her and gave up trying to have any kind of mature debate with him/her?

*shrugs* There's not much point arguing over it now. 'Tis in the past and the Mods did what they did.

Edit: Oh and football sucks :p

So is it the point of the douche that I'm pulling out of my ass, or... ?

I must agree with Sinuhue, yet again. This would completely suck the fun out of certain debate-ish threads.

Yes, you just now found out this?

I'd sign this, but I'm still mad at you from when you said anyone who supports capitalism is a vaginal jelly.

Why would straight people find that offensive?

But I didn't insert it in the first place. How'd it get there?

*gasps*

Was it God immaculately trying to give me an enema again? That cheeky deity.

I didn't say jelly, per se.
Santa Barbara

Because even straight people are better than a vaginal jelly.

I didn't say jelly, per se

What you actually said was "douche-headed queef-leak."

So I still can't sign any documents like this.

But for all their longing to be there, you'd think it'd be an honour.

*laughs*

Here's how the debate went:

Lyric: capitalists suck. They want workers to die. They are only interested in profit. They want to pollute and ship all jobs overseas.
Me: Ummm...got any evidence for that?
Lyric: Fuck you, asshole. I'm done with you. You just want to be contrary.

Yeah, Lyric was really mature. :rolleyes:

well, it's not a very clear definiton, but heck i'll sign it.

So I still can't sign any documents like this.In my culture, that's a good thing. I only assumed that it was in your's as well.

I don't get it...what exactly constitutes pulling a comment out of one's arse?

I make up comments all the time - and then sometimes I get evidence from the web if required.
And it usually is being done to prove a point.

In a debate going, oh, say, "Communism killed 500 million people, you're a fuckward asshat for being a dirty red." or "Fucking capitalist, corporations get their profits by hiring 97% poor children in China. It's evil you're evil, equality bitch."
Pure Metal

though i have a funny feeling i'm probably one of the people who does this kind of shit *shiftyeyes*


edit: actually, i guess not lol

Well I don't like things like that...

So I'll put my official approval under that!

I am going to refuse to sign this as a restriction against pulling things out of my ass would prevent me from posting at all, and wouldn't that just be terrible?

*Silence*

I said, wouldn't that be terrible!?

Well, fuck you all then! See if I send you any letter bombs for Christmas this year!

I refuse to sign something to the affect of "I won't post to prove a point". That's stupid. The fact I'm the only one who realises that makes my respect for this forum drop two notches. Congradulations, you've just fallen behind Saddam Hussien.

Thank you for that. I was starting to worry that we were never going to make it to the bottom by Christmas.
There is hope for us yet!

I think that qualifies as being pulled from the ass, shoved back in again to brew and pulled out again, redolent of the odor of a dysentery-inflicted sperm whale's rectum.

But debates are the best time for ass-based objects.
How else would I be able to inform the foul capitalists that the USSR was obviously better then the US because Stalin was a magickal pony beast?

Pulling stuff out of your ass is expected of people like you, and on occassion me when I know what's happenning.

Its like international agreements. No one is actually going to do anything differently, I just want to show my support for the idea of people acting sane.

You do realize that one is not obligated by any said oath in truth to fully follow this. Its just something to FALL BACK ON if said subject were in a pickle, I suppose.

Nevertheless, I suppose I did sign it. However, signing it may just be my support for something greater, not just something less.

Anyway....
