Ken, Twba and Bobo haven't posted anything here yet. They are usually so quick to respond to a challenge.

Just for the record, I'm not at all convinced by birdboy1's "I'm new here" act.

you gonna come up with a theory about how I'm actually Robrob?

No, not Robrob.

crazy theory are you going to come up with?  "Just for the record, I'm not at all convinced by birdboy1's "I'm new here" act."- OneHitKill
Please tell me how this can be interpreted differently than my interpretation that you are as paranoid as Ken about sock puppets and who is who.

by birdboy1 on 05/26/2009 10:35:46 PM EST

[ Parent ]
what crazy theory are you going to come up with?

No crazy theory. I just don't believe you're new here. Sentences like "Who is this Bobo you keep talking about?" are transparent attempts to appear new. Can you blame me for thinking so?

I might be wrong. We'll literally NEVER KNOW.

I was just slightly curious after seeing Ken constantly referencing users that I had never seen on.  Should I have just looked the other way and pretended I knew what he was talking about?  Just to look less suspicious to paranoid people like you?

by birdboy1 on 05/27/2009 06:58:29 AM EST

[ Parent ]
I actually can blame you for being so paranoid.  Typically, when a new person comes to a new place where he/she doesn't know any of the people there, he/she doesn't just telepathically know what everyone is talking about when they reference things/people that were there before the new person came.  
So he/she might A) ask some of the people to explain it to them, B) go look it up, or C) Pretend he/she knows what everyone is talking about.  
I happen to have done (A) (and (B) afterwards.)  Can you really blame me?
Now of course where people are paranoid of sock puppets, (A) would result in everyone being suspicious of someone attempting to appear new.  But really, wouldn't you be suspicious also if I appeared to already know every reference that you made?

Well now I'm convinced you are new around here. Newer than most, even. If you weren't, you'd already have drawn a thick, black line between Ken's brand of paranoia and my own.

Mystery solved.

Ken is paranoid that some users are sock puppets.  You are paranoid that some users are sock puppets.  Inferred from "Just for the record, I'm not at all convinced by birdboy1's "I'm new here" act."- OneHitKill. So if I wasn't new here, even though my username is new, then that would mean that I would be a sock puppet.
If you find a thicker black line, please let me know.

Just what we need, another armchair psychologist. That's another thing Bobo used to do.

Oh, sorry. Are you an actual psychologist?

UNLESS.....you are TinyDemon (and I'm not saying you are). He had real issues with everybody on the forum. He called me a conservative apologist or something similar. Obviously troubled. Dude was all over the map.

If he was really stretched thin enough to cover the entire map, then yes, he must have been troubled.

To me (speaking as relative newcomer (uhuh!)), it's fairly obvious that there are only 3 people posting on this site: one RW neocon fear mongering Nut, one leftist liberal freedom-hating loonie and one retarded or seriously mental guy who just makes fun of everything and posts asinine and often cynical statements including many pictures and fake polls and such. A little confusing though is the fact that the latter seems to be able to use even many of the former two's accounts. But at least the first two guys are quite consistent on their POV within respective accounts. I admire that very much!

Another thing befuddling me is where to put the Cenk-, Dave- and Ana-characters. Those appear to be the same as those people in the small video-feed (I'm not sure yet if that's cg or real; either way: well done, matrix-masters!), but they seem to be much more intelligent and coherent in written form, so my guess is that those are cooperative endeavors of the 3 guys writing all the other posts, the leftist guy obviously being some kind of editor in chief.

You abuse the word "promise".  I never promised you anything.

Since you didn't keep your word, I felt no obligation.  Well, actually, I have never felt any obligation to you whatsoever.  But you said you were donating $120 on my behalf to TYT, ostensibly to pay for my membership.

http://www.theyoungturks.co m/comments/2009/4/13/20305/ 7325/4#4

I never received that notice, and my membership expired.  But that's okay.  I've renewed my membership anyway.

You trying to change the subject  by picking on someone again?

Some may argue that we would be more effective if we sanctioned torture or other expedient methods to obtain information from the enemy. They would be wrong. Beyond the basic fact that such actions are illegal, history shows that they also are frequently neither useful nor necessary.  Certainly, extreme physical action can make someone "talk;" however, what the individual says may be of questionable value...

In everything we do, we must observe the standards and values that dictate that we treat noncombatants and detainees with dignity and respect. While we are warriors, we are also human beings.

You know who said that?

The Great General you where so fond of quoting

Petraeus

Can you think of anyone better qualified to talk Al Queada and torture? Not even.

bobo1 is like Kentx minus the charts and decent grammar. Also he seemed to support the Palestineans, and said racist things about blacks and jews.

Rush Limbaugh minus the (almost) decent grammar.  In that case, I'm glad he hasn't been here.

Bobo's grammar was one thing (I could tell you quite a story about the word "hamstring"...ah, good times, good times), but he had a wicked racist streak and he blamed all his formatting errors on his Blackberry. He might as well have walked around with a sandwich board reading, "DON'T BUY A BLACKBERRY."

why:

- less of a hypocrit, bobo can ackowledge that some of his views are indeed bad or "evil", while Ken like most conservatives can't stand the idea that all of his beliefs aren't virtues

- he uses less circular reasoning

- he doesn't keep repeating (less at least) the same disprooved arguments in consecutive comments

- he doesn't fabricate evidence like Ken to proove his point

- he's less annoying overal  than Ken

give me bobo any day over Ken and TBWA

Bobo was angry and cynical, call him misanthropic even, but he wasn't a lair.

TWBA seems to post so rarely I haven't been able to formulate an opinion.

Stephen king hits it out of the park sometimes and sometimes  not so much   like Cat People

bobo1 is an old school right winger

White is right

Gay is bad

Liberalism is going to destroy the universe

Less of that and more of  Megan McCain and the Republican party might have a chance at re building.

You see the guy get waterboarded

He is a well known conservative radio host ( I cant believe they ruined WLS like that)

He says waterboarding is definately torture  it is drowning. Which he knows a little something about because he drowned as a child.

I read an article by someone that performed waterboarding on the Navy Seals as party of their training say the same thing.  It IS drowning, not simulated. If they go long enough the person being waterboarded will actually drown.

Like Olberman said .. this video makes Hannity pretty much irrelevant.

Now if I just knew where he got the nickname "Man Cow"
