In a thread that more or less invites that sort of thing, and considering it's an American to Australians, I can't see it as flamebait. More the sort of mock-insulting rant that only your mates could get away with.

I recognise that standards on an internet forum are very different from what you'd expect in RL, but I think Indri's sarcastic comments would seriously upset only those who took them seriously. They're enough on track to have a sting, but not a flame.

OK, thanks. I'll remember to keep this president in mind the next time I want to say someone has a small penis.

Precedent.

And, I really do think it was a joke, Daist.

But I really want Obama to be the Precedent!

(LOL - a hard day at work, late night, loads of booze, and too much politics... equals excuses, excuses excuses... ;))

I have been wondering why, on an internet political forum, it would become necessary to discuss penis size at all.

No, don't tell me. Go, and spam no more.

(And for pity's sake fix up that typo in the last line of your sig! It drives me crazy!)

Well, you know...you've run out of good arguments so the only things left are "I win because I can pee standing up" and failing that, "I win because my penis is bigger."

This happens because in a man's mind that does actually mean you win.

I thought we had already established in an earlier thread that men have zero control over their penises and it was women who had 100% control....

Therefore: the man and his penis win only if the nearest woman is impressed and says that he does.

So to win, we need only surround ourselves with women who are easily impressed. Done and done.

Also, we try to pretend that what Kat said isn't true.

Of course. It doesn't work being the power behind the throne if everyone KNOWS you're the power behind the throne.

I'll take a win where I can get it, even if it's only in my head.

Shame on you! Bad mod! Spamming up the mod forum like that! You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself!
