    Way to try to justify your bullshit with a side of bullshit. Computers don't decide policital affinity through weight. It's not like a bunch of fat people held a meeting and said "Alright, since I have a glandular eating problem, I'm going to vote for the republician party!" And then everyone put down their big-macs and clapped for him, then voted republican. WHo's to say the 40% non overweight people aren't the republican ones, an only 20 of the overweight ones are.

    Though I have to agree with Retard on the whole overblowing of the "American is fat" BS. I'd say in my school about one of every fifteen to twenty people you see may be slightly overweight. And then you have your occasional 300 lbs + kid. Ditto with the mall thing, unless you tally around the foodcourt, you're not going to see that many overweight people.

    And how can you say retard is misguided because he happens to like the area in which he lives? I mean, you could have just said he was misguided because he jokes about making sweet love to farm animals. But instead because he is "pro-south"? What are you? A moron.

    You better hurry and reply to this and get one of your seven goddamn posts a day in, bitch.

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you have been insulted Sleek! What are you going to say to that, no wait you can't say anything, so shut up. :lol: :) :lol:

    Technically, I'm fat. I actually AM fat. But all I know, is the doctor said that I should be 160-170 pounds, and if I was ever that skinny, I would snap in half. I might be 50 pounds oveweight, but dude, I'm a fucking football player! I have muscles...somewhere...that account for it. Oh and I'm a liberal, the complete opposite of a republican, so your all liberals are skiny vegetarians, and all conservatives are meat-loving fat asses idea is complete BS. Your political beliefs aren't shaped by McDonalds, they're shaped by your environment, how your raised, etc.

    I think that my 29-month-old makes more sense more often than the second two pages of this post----and she only makes FOUR WORD SENTENCES!!!! :) :) :lol:

    Really though these are the kind of posting that should be kept to IRC, no?

    There is nothing wrong with a spam now and then yet the % blame game and pionting of fingers could very well have kept out of GD and perhaps forcably contained therin! :-o

    Shadygrove, I tell you what, lets just pretend that we've done the whole liberal/conservative thing already.... I'm not perceptive enough to explain why I think the vast majority of media are liberal. I just know that Dan fucking Rather's views don't jive with mine. If it comes from D.C. or New York (newspapers) I don't agree with 'em. I'm a conservative, I don't buy into all the political correctness shit, racial profiling (Hell, suspicion is suspicion, I don't give a fuck if that means you tackle more Arabs at the airport than old grannys). Shadygrove, you are probably way smarter, swufter, more savvy than I when it comes to politics. I believe what I believe, and don't excuse it.

    Oh, and I don't listen to talk radio. (The same media that liberals were whining about recently 'cause, "Waahaaa, there's not very many liberals on talk radio" So? Get on the radio then.)

    Anyway, what I think don't make the difference 'tween a rat fuck and dog shit. Why does it matter? Fuck the world. Fuck the politics. Fuck the Chinese. Fuck liberals and conservatives together. They are only in Congress for money. Show me one politician who is driven by the good of the common people. Fuck the whole fucked up system. The powerful and rich get all the face time, regardless of how stupid they are, and the common man who probably has more sense and morals in his boot gets ass-fucked, and he has to shut up and like it.

    Oh, and Sleek, way to avoid my questions by going, "Wha-wha-WHAATT!!! LIBERAL MEDIA!!! Like HELL, there's a liberal media!!"

    Actually, while it certainly appears that way, I can honestly say that politicians would be mad to get into politics for the money. Most get in because it's what they like, meeting people and 'helping others'. When taking money from organisations, it's very rare that they're 'bribed'. In most cases the politician already supports/believes in whatever views the donors are pushing and so naturally takes their money quite happily, so they can get elected again and do more good things (which they think they're doing, even though to the naked eye, it may not appear that way).

    Like, say for example, when a politician takes a mother-fucking massive OMFG donation on behalf of the party from the Hotels Association and then the next day votes AGAINST a bill limiting poker machines, thus helping the Hotels Association. The politician was voting against the bill a long time before the money came, mainly out of his/her own beliefs (people can play pokies if they want, it's not our job to tell people what to do etc...). It's unlikely for a politician who's against or for a cause to vote in a way that's opposite to their views. That only happens with the 'undecideds', the politicians who really couldn't give a damn one way or the other about the issue. In most cases, you find they vote the same way as all their political friends, so even then it's not much incentive.

    Okay, carry on people.

    Paul Wellstone. A liberal.

    There have been a few honest ones, the last one I know of, damn I cannot remember his name, from Maine, only senator in the postwar era who was not a milionare when he retired.

    DarkUnderlord, you might be supprised just how much Retard & I think alike about the situation in WA DC. Your explaination of how things work sounds like it was lifted out of a civics text. Retard is right, cash buys face time. The players of that game call it access, & think of it as all right. But that means that those without $s have no access. No access = no voice.

    Those campagin contributions do go to candidates who's views have been vetted. No one changes his mind because of cash, but a free weekend in the Bahamas gives the ticket buyer a lot of face time. And that face time can sway a decision that has not yet been made.

    And think of the coralary. Those with ideas opposed to those of the people with the cash can't get those fat $2,000 checks. How many politicans are you writing those fat $2,000 checks to? They can't buy the air time to express those vievs without that money. Remember, the free press wether it is too liberal or too conservative not only isn't free, it ain't even cheap.

    But it doesn't realy mater. True story out of my youth:

    About 1969 or '70, I was hich hiking south out of DC after work. THE big black Caddy pulls up. Driver in the classic black suit & string tie look, soft southern accent, Carolinas or GA, starts pouring out a piece of his life story as sometimes happens.

    The words I remember to this day, "I thought if I only had a little bit of power I could change things." I had not looked at the car's plates, so I asked him with widening eyes,"Pardon sir, exactly what line of work are you in?" "I", he replied "am a congressman."

    Dole. Enough said. Dole might be rich, but he still isn't in the two pary system, he's independant, and he wasn't allowed at that debate in 2000 I think it was.

    I'm a liberal, which has been numerously stated, I know, but honestly, I agree with Retard, I'm against political correctness. If I say Indian instead of Native American, I'm still not trying to insult them, and if they are LOOKING to be insulted, then they can't blame anyone when they are. People need to stop caring what about people say more than what people mean. I can say that nigger is really nice, and I mean that as a compliment, so why would people be insulted? If I said that African American is a shit-eating asshole, I mean it as an insult, but I'm using all politically correct terms, so can they be insulted?

    Also this profiling thing. I'm a little iffy on it, I don't think it's right that the cops just arrest every Mexican, but if they get information that the Mexicans are running drugs through Brooklyn, I wouldn't expect them to be looking at every race equally.

    And also, what's with this thing where a cop can only shoot you are the same race as him? If you jump out of the shadows and shoot at a white cop, and you get shot, if you're white the cop gets a medal and a pat on the back. But if you're black, he's labelled a rascist and they try and arrest him.

    Affirmative action is COMPLETE BS. I think colleges shouldn't even LOOK at your race to determine admissions. Yea, fine, a diverse class is great, but if only 4 black kids have the grades to get into Harvard, only 4 black kids have the grades to get in. It's not the poor white kid's fault that more blacks didn't do as well! So why reverse discriminate. Martin Luther King didn't fight so hard for equality so we could end up not being equal anyway!

    Yea, Shady, I don't doubt that there are some truly altruistic senators and representatives. What I do doubt is that they are anything but a small minority. IMHO, most of Congress is corrupt. 10 guys like us can sit down and discuss things rationally, and about 100 others are only worried about pleasing the corporations that back them.

    DU, come on, the congressman might have steadily voted on that issue for a long time, but how long has he been backed by those companies. On that particular issue he has been stable, but the corporations have been stable in their donations as well.

    heh... C++ is paying off after all, well, running on the assumption that I managed to do those quotes correctly. but anyway! the sad thing about what you say Retard, is that as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), Democracy was the best government when put into use. Communism was the best on paper, but was poorly executed. We should really do IQ tests on anyone who wishs to be president. that would keep shmucks like Bush out.
    It's amazing, I just realized almost every post in this board goes from the topic to politics. how is that? but anyway, why doesn't the American government wise up? they are always stomping on each-others toes (the diff. branches), and they RARELY get anything effectively done as a group effort. (take-back to my mentioning WTC in an earlier 'word-
    battle' :D :lol: :D with Sleek) I forget who said it, but someone said "You use smilies like periods, I live with four women, and I wish they would do that." That's a beautiful point, I'm the youngest of seven, and four of which are older sisters. the youngest is in college now I'm fine, but god, that was HELL for awhile. Mainly since I was used as their punching bag, so I went to school with a large number of bruises on my arms and legs, we actually had a man come once to 'investigate' to see if I was being abused :lol:. I know what it's like to live with four woman who have thier periods conseculatively, so that you get beat all month long. you know, sooner or later I'm going to use smilies for periods, since all you people have accused me of it.

    But you don't even. I'm the youngest and my older sisters are part spanish. If you think normal girls are bad when they get pissed, speed up how fast they talk by about 200 fold, give them sharper nails, and the ability to stop hearing for extended periods of time. Then you have a latin girl. The only good thing is that I'm twice the size as my sisters. Seriously, I'm 225, and my heaviest sister is 105, and I have 6 inches on everyone who lives with me. BTW, that was my quote, if you haven't equated it yet :D.

    But dude, yea, once there are 4 of them, they rotate like that on purpose. I think they have some union or something that came up with all these ideas. The whole guest towels thing, you know they had to sit and think about how much they could annoy us before they came up with that.

    Dude, the democracy we have isn't that good. It's to...undemocratic, and to democratic at the same time. Freedom of the press is great. But why is exactly is CNN showing tracking of our troop locations on the air. You think that might sort of go against our national interests, wouldn't you? But, of course, saying you don't support the government in a certain endevor, that IS against our interests, and makes it fine for everyone to assume you're a commie, hippie, cocaine-smoking terrorist. It's not like the entire purpose that the part of the first amendment that says freedom of speech is to protect your right to disagree with the government.

    Matt, the government has never wised up, and sadly will most likely NEVER wise up, because it is run by far less intelligent people than us. Like I've said, we can civily debate without NEEDING to resort to name-calling. Often it does come down to insults, but only because it's more fun that way :razz: :lol: :razz: . But honestly, if Retard, Jarinor, and Snowy ran America, not only would it be alot better of a country, I would finally be able to yell at tourists for spamming America.

    People.... (Sighs) First of all this is not the subject as the heading says.... I think it says "Don't lean on Newbies..."
    Umm anyway... Im 127.5 Pounds (after I just weighed myself) and thats all because I have an extremely high motabolisim and to tell you the truth I would love to be bigger or "Fat" as you call it but, im stuck with this till im really old and I mean Really old!!! (like 30) If you guys think its fat people who have problems well your wrong... I grew up in a Big family imagined seeing a mother face ater finding out her child was the size of her arm and was under wieght (yes im tall 7'6) it was horrible growing up being picked on and then you have to find somewhere it still happens even at 24!!! My god most adults in america are still kids!!! (but with bigger I.Q.s sorta) Its like you all are in school still (which I don't doubt you are) and making fun of the fat kids or the foriegn kids cause they're different.
    "Can't we just get along and play like good chil.. I mean adults?"

    Well, never really mind the subject, people don't seem to be too keen to stay on topic around here... any topic eventually decays into something else which most of the time has absolutely nothing to do with it. Doesn't mean I mind, though. Although this thread was made a sticky, so perhaps the original topic was important for some reason... :/

    The original topic was about how the regulars shouldn't be pricks to n00bs.

    The problem with staying on topic is that most things are related. There are reasons that the regulars are mean to n00bs. So those reasons are delved into. Then the mitigating circumstances are discussed. This continues, ad infinitum. Eventually, the topic goes from being nice to n00bs, to my beer pong experiences, to the government, which seems to be one of the popular locations for threads to wind up at for at least a short time, being that the US government is sadly one of the most cracked, pos, shoddy institutions in the world. The framework of the nation is SO great, but something is lost in translation. It's like communism, on paper it look fantastic, but both systems inherently revolve around a majority of people being aat least reasonably intelligent, a tall order in the modern US.

    thats the greatest story i've ever heard

    holy crap, a congressman thats not to good to pick up a hitchhiker? thats awesome. but that sort of mentality is also probably the reason he has no power. all i can say, is at the next election vote green.

    I'm with Sleek! Let's all go green! Washington nearly did, but Bush won out in the end... :cry: oh, and Sleek, if you would read more carefully, I said that I was the youngest of seven, FOUR OF WHICH ARE SISTERS. indicating, that I have two brothers, and am a guy myself. as a friend once said to me "being a girl would be cool if you didn't have a period... and a pussy, maybe I'll get breast implants" I think boobs would be fun to play with.... :) wait, how has this topic gone from noobs to people to politics, to boobs? oh well, that's classic Hol. Shady, that politian sounded cool, if there were more men like him this country would be a lot better... btw, does anyone who posts on this board live in Washington?

    3 words, "you can't vote" (yet)

    and the topic went from politics to boobs because you take too much lsd, and fungi mexicana so you think someone else is talking even when the words are coming out of your mouth. that would explain all the sudden, sweaty, color flashbacks you get too.

    and by washington do you mean Washington or DC? because, while i technically live in virginia, i'm also only 20 minutes out of DC. so yeah...

    Sleek. I didn't think it was possible, but you have SOMEHOW created and even more disturbing image that two half-naked Chris Farly's dancing! The girl is kinda hot, but WTF is that picture about! Do you like seeing Kermit fucking a bunny or something?!? :-?

    Yea Matt, you can ask how a thread evolved to boobs when you are the entire reason it got there. I know how the topic got to beer pong, and it actually go tto beer pong through beer pong. Lots and lots of beer pong. Enough beer pong that we actually have a beer pong area set aside for that use.

    It's not like there aren't alot of men that WOULD be fantastic politicians, there just aren't alot of men who actually ARE fantastic polititians. Personally, I think Shady should run for office, he is really smart. Plus he can get other people to spell for him ;) :lol: .

    I don't do LSD, too many letters. I don't try and do anything that has no vowels in it. LSD, PCP, K, etc. Really i'm too addicted to vowels to leave them. I should probably go to some meetings. LA, letters anonymous. "Hello, my name is Sarah, and I'm in love with Mr. F, and his floppy feet." *cue applause

    I have to go now. Much love to all you ladies out there, you 3 or so special girls at the HoL forum. Love ya. ;) :lol: :heart:

    I did once. For Congress. The year I turned 30. The year Nixon resigned. Came in 3rd out of 6 in the Democratic Primary.

    Spell checkers are getting other people to spell for me.
