OK, y’all, go ahead and blast off on this post and prove me correct.

Psst: last post on this thread was quite some time ago. You might want to get your dander up on a thread that someone is paying attention to besides me.

Sorry…”IF they differ”, not “IS they differ”. Forgive the gaffe. Product of the American public school system, ya know.

And…true to form, whenever the “lefties” feel threatened, the freedom of speech FOR OTHERS goes right out the window. Open-minded liberals? Liberals who allow others to speak freely is they differ with their personal opinions? Is there such a thing? Sadly, no… Good name for this site. OK, y’all, go ahead and blast off on this post and prove me correct.

Iâ€™m afraid I canâ€™t say anymore. The line between parody and reality has completely disappeared under ab Hughâ€™s waistline.

apparently fat-bashing is the last refuge of those who otherwise consider themselves open-minded and accepting. geez, the guy’s an asshole in so many ways, why pick on something so unrelated??

I wish we could stick with mocking the wingnuts’ idiocy and moral emptiness, rather than their looks or their bodies. It just puts us on their level (the “she’s only a feminist because she’s so ugly” kind of so-called reasoning).

Apparently just one kook- point still stands (and I need a shower).

I’ve got a shitload of them, m’self.
If you’re tired of vapidity, there are some WTC conspiricy kooks up yonder in one of Retardo’s now-apparently-common bits about “The VRWC-as-Actual Vast Conspiricy” posts.
I don’t have the constitution to keep reading up there (I want to laugh, dammit!), but there’s no vapidity to be found up there.

Have fun, dear!

Gods, you people are vapid assholes. Got bored with being picky on substance and decided to go for the low blow? And none of you have a single solitary photo somewhere that makes you look like a dork? Sure. I believe that. And Dubya’s got a genius IQ.

I could go for a wheelbarrel full of burritos right about now.

I doubt it- such a marathon would require at least… three pizzas (scaling it based on my previous nerdathons).

Hey, don’t make fun of Dafydd because he looks funny and writes Star Trek novelizations. (Lots of writers look funny — myself included — and novelizations are, at worst, honest work.)

It’s okay to make fun of him for the crazy things he often says.

I’m a squishy, poorly-dressed geeky mouthbreathing white guy who has attended more than a couple fan conventions myself, and this guy is tacky by even those standards.

Phoenician is correct- the Federation is so Marxian flowers-and-candy-perfect-and-so-blessedly-impossible it makes me puke; of course, that gave the show some dramatic friction.

In fact, I think there may be the basis for a major research program here. I can’t help but wonder why it is the extreme right tends to be overwhelmingly populated by squishy, poorly dressed white guys

Wait a minute – you just described me. Come to think of it, I look suspiciously like Captain Tiberus J Wingnut above.

I never understood how wingers could like Star Trek since the Federation is essentially the UN in space.

Oh, it’s worse than that – the Federation is essentially Marx’s evolved communist state.

Heh- it’s depressing for me that that article is ten years old. I remember reading it when it was hot off the presses.
I ain’t saying they aren’t people and therefore worthy of due consideration- it’s just, by taking part, you kick yourself out of the “civillian” catagory (though not up to the “active combatant/active pro-*insertcause* policymaker” level on the enemy combatant morality-kill scale). Less morally stressful than “collateral damage”, but moreso than “he’s actively trying to kill me”.
Just my appraisal, of course…

Guinnessguy, one of my circle, Grey Lady Bast, came up with a slogan in the wake of Abu Ghreib/No WMDs/etc etc etc etc etc etc -

“Don’t *be* a janitor on the Death Star” – which some of us have adopted as a motto.

IOW, the moral implications of being a willing, if largely oblivious, low-level cog in an engine of oppression are something that can be kicked around as a consciousness-raising tool. (And I should acknowledge that the fans at Onion came up with a riff on the concept ten years ago.)
