A point of constitutional philosophy: implicit protections.

Do we need to get into the merits of how many sad, lonely, and desperate people there are out there, with standards low enough to jump on just anyone who gives them a little attention?

you are new to this, I’m going to just laugh and move on, ok?

I have a rule for myself. I don’t talk to people who mistake your and you’re.
That is the minimum standard of literacy where I draw the line.

Yeah I really do.
I guess catfights are fun.
I should be drawing right now, though.

Call me whatever you want, toots, I don’t give a shit.

I’m not stupid. What I said was stupid.
I can’t tell the difference.
I think these distinctions are made only by dishonest people.

Me?! Editing the dude who just bragged on a discussion board about having 10-pack abs?! OMFG.

There is nothing difficult about anything I read of you. Like I said, it’s uninteresting.
Post some interesting stuff maybe. Might make it worthwhile to dig through the shitstorm that is your writing style.

The literal fucking forum you’re typing on, kid, yes.

You’ve read 2-3 books a day for more than 15 years?
More than 15 years?
2-3 books a day?
A DAY?
You read
2-3 books
a day
for
over
15 years
15 years??

Maybe you need to say that again, just one more time, just so we make sure everyone read that.

BTW, did you know he has 10-pack abs and a girlfriend in France?

maybe then just write that?
See, two sentences. You can do it :wink:

Stay back, Fixed, he’ll just whine to Carleas and have me banned. That’ll show me.

You are young, kiddo.
Where did you take Santo Daime?

There might be another little thing or two in my history that you don’t know :slight_smile:

Parodites Modus Operandi:

5k words of gibberish
obstinate support of arguments by bragging about things nobody can substantiate
goes “Wow… just… wow… Are you serious”
gets you banned

:laughing:

No Phone, I was asking: what does it say. The Latin.

Phone you went out of your way to point out a post where I was joking (very obviously) in response to your joke about my mom, to the effect of insinuating I didn’t understand humor. The irony being that you didn’t understand the humor in the response of mine, which you were quoting. Can you not even admit you fucked up on that one? Well I am sad to see you running down Phone, though I am proud of myself for avoiding returning the insult stuff because I can’t wait to see you get banned, that will be my second one and I’ve only been here a week! I said to Aegean I looked forward to doing what I do best and drawing what people really are, out of them- and into the open. I will have fun, besides raising the level of discourse here, cleaning out a lot of people so that it becomes, perhaps, a more welcoming place and new members will start rolling in, in greater numbers. Anyway, that all you got then? I type “you’re” once? Heat of the moment honey: and we have this thing called ‘autocorrect’, sometimes it fucks you up a little. Anyway, like I said; refer to the gemitus reference passage. That is literacy. Or any of my posts and/or excerpts really since you didn’t understand any of it. Even the people I have pissed off the most usually are humble enough to admit the writing: but I see you are more resilient in your obtundity. No matter.

And let’s see, you can insinuate that I… eat doritos? Insult my appearance as being fat, but I can’t respond with: nah, I’m actually not.

So you’re insulting a woman I very deeply love too; interesting. Did she commit the sin of liking someone who doesn’t think very highly of you Phone? As to the rest of whatever the shit was you wrote, I have only one response: i.imgur.com/T4q1etG.png Would you like to lick dorito dust off of them?

As a side note, I actually feel bad for derailing the thread. This is Rant House level nonsense here.
There are a couple of posts here and there on topic. I’m cool with you just addressing those.
I’ll stop if you do :slight_smile:

If you want the last few posts answered though, I can answer, here or on another thread. Your thread, your call.

Ah, I see. You don’t need to make amends with me. If you want to keep your account, go beg to Carleas about it. For my part, :stuck_out_tongue: I am going to give everyone a little play by play on this whole thing, and it will be my last response to you Phone. Two more big-ass wall of text paragraphs. A two for one deal, thank me later.

You’re a presumptuous creature, you know that? Your first trespass, if not in strict disfellowship with the other users here or the general decorum of the forum,- though at least, to my mind, as a matter of ‘artistic conscience’- was insinuating that I didn’t know what a paragraph was and then recommending an editor. Uh huh. I’ve spent nearly as many years in that cave, which you seemed so delighted to levy scorn upon- writing, and reciting the rhetorical techniques of Ciceronic discourse,- if I were to test the limits even of my own pretension, as you’ve likely been alive. I like to write well. At the level of my Elizabethan models, no less. Even in a forum post. You’re not teaching me anything; I’ve been in touch with the world of publishing, I am familiar with it; I had been granted audience with several houses and received interest both in my existing composition and in contracted writing,-- and after all of this, I was and am well aware of how paragraphs work: both at the High School level against whose measure you seem bent on “editing” me, and that beyond the high school level. But no- I was respectful at first. I didn’t go into any of that. I only referred you to several examples in the literature and noted the manual of style that had been more or less developed in at least the subjects I am interested in, and that there was in fact no great removal from that, or a starker contrast that might be drawn up between what could be readily ascertained by you there and in my own preferred elocution, when it came to the matter of “paragraph length”, and that- for this reason and others, I would have to neglect your suggestion.

But instead of taking that response and saying okay, you decided to double down like you have something to prove. It became: alright, well maybe they do that in those books, (Though we must not forget your first meme-worthy idea: that older writers wrote in longer paragraphs because it was… easier to do that when computers didn’t exist?) but this is a forum. First of all I was quoting my books,- my own, though I will grant you that even my impromptu replies here venture no slight challenge in drudging over. Still: you changed the subject and so I, in my way, found another digression in proposing my real object in coming to this website: which was to raise the caliber of discourse here, to that of the academic level or beyond it. And instead of, once again, just taking that; you tripled down. And every time a presumption of yours was refused, you just hedged your whole shit on another one and doubled down. Somehow you presumed that my ascesis had left me socially dysfunctional and I must just be rocking back and forth in a room, and that you pitied me for that as you would any disabled person, while continuing to become more and more insulting for no real reason- but no, I am actually quite capable, even with your kind, or perhaps especially so, which is where you were going. I must be so lonely right? Well, you were wrong again. So then you presumed that the woman I referred to was surely as miserable and fucked as I am, and had fallen for me only due to a lack of attention and isolation, because how else could someone value me or my input, right? The absurdity is that you probably actually think I was insulting you at some point through this thread, because you seem incapable of listening to anything but your own posts: read back through the thread, and dwell on the fact that the most I ever said to you was I thought your editing suggestion was a little High-Schoolish and that you were being silly. Then it became: I must be a disgusting, overweight slob, right; and I just live for ripping on people in internet forums. I haven’t been on a forum or social media in ten years, I came here by suggestion; and again, your presumption was a little bit inaccurate because I’m not overweight: quod erat demonstABSum.

Federally I think I lean libertarian, but at the state/provincial level I prefer some fiscal and a few social regulations.
I may make some exceptions however for multinational and multiprovincial/state corporations, they ought to be internationally and federally regulated as well as provincially.
It’d be cool to have some provinces with few regulations and some with many, It’d be like traveling to different countries without having to carry a passport.

If I was an American I probably would’ve voted for Ron Paul or his son Rand at least once by now.
I voted for Maxime Bernier last federal election, he’s pretty much a libertarian, nationalist and populist who wants to radically reduce immigration.
In previous elections I’ve voted for the green party and NDP.

As for drugs, I’m in favor of either legalizing all drugs (for consenting adults of course), or looking into criminalizing many so called pharmaceutical drugs and legalizing many so called recreational drugs like cocaine.
The present distinction between pharmaceutical and recreational is somewhat misleading.
Many rec drugs like cocaine have many medicinal properties, and conversely many pharm drugs have many recreational properties and can be highly addictive.
Even alcohol has a lot of medicinal properties.
I suspect there’re a lot of pharm drugs that either haven’t undergone sufficient testing, or are much more harmful than big pharma, corporatized and politicized science would like us to believe.

The distinction is more about high tech, synthetic, patentable drugs vs more natural drugs.
Big pharma doesn’t want to compete with something you can grow yourself.
It’s also about forbidding people from consuming consciousness expanding drugs, psychedelics like LSD, MDMA, mescaline, psilocybin and so on.
The last thing the establishment wants is a consciousness revolution.
Fortunately marijuana is already legal in Canada, and for better, or worse, it’s business as usual up here, the laws were barely enforced for many years anyhow.

Personally I’m not into drugs, but I trust myself and other adults with our own bodies more than I trust government, but that doesn’t mean government doesn’t have a role to play.
I’d limit government to helping test new drugs, label them, keep them away from kids, and perhaps criminalize the really shit pharm and street drugs like fentanyl or meth that’re highly addictive, toxic and have virtually no redeeming qualities.

Alright.

Don’t give a shit about you.
I allow myself to be disruptive for my own amusement so long as it’s only for a few pages, but I do have a modicum of respect for other forum members and for order in general, so when it starts to get repetitive I start to pull back.

I can’t reciprocate. I’m sorry. It’s not you, it’s me. I’m trying, but I just can’t make myself care.

Sweet.

Aegean: ok fine, there was no substance there.

Tabulas: ok, he’s a representative of the neo Nazis.

Phoneutria: concentrate man.

She’s rude, and rudeness has no place. Review my play by play analysis. Though more interesting is the subject of rhetoric, or more precisely, rhetorici-sizing rhetoric. I am afraid it will be necessary to go back a page or two, but I replied to you on that point, I mentioned Bruno’s approach to the subject as a kind of anti-dialectic in it.

Wow.

Alright, fuck it, I’m bowing out.

You’re on thin ice here, per.

That’s not what I said. And your failure to understand what I said, represents your failure throughout this thread and argument.

Again, nothing I’ve said “Constitution doesn’t matter”. Your mind is really skewed if you can’t follow the few sentences that I’ve written.

You can post 1000 paragraphs and 10000 sentences, but what’s the point if you can’t repeat or understand the few of your opposition?

It’s not.

The Federation was ratified after the Civil War. The Constitution was in dispute, by physical, actual war. Federal Rights and Laws then superceded State Rights and Laws, as a result of the North’s victory.

It’s sad that you misconstrue my positions, along without knowing basic US history.

Where you should go, is to pay attention to what is actually said, and nothing implied.

I should pay attention to what’s said, not implied Unwrong? Yeah that’s why I quoted verbatim the actual articles from the BoR we were talking about. Excuse me: that I was talking about.

And of Phone: Keep in mind, the most I said to her was I thought small paragraphs were Highschoolish and that her suggestion was silly. Now:

Me: I know quite a bit about a few things too: I wrote 10 five-hundred page volumes of philosophy while exiled into my cloister, during which I didn’t leave a single room for nearly 15 years and did nothing but that, save for reading (2-3 books a day) and learning other, foreign languages.

Her:

But at least that explains why you’re so terrible at communication.
You don’t isolate yourself for 15 years and not suffer the consequences of it.
Your social skills have atrophied and rendered you socially retarded.
Poor you.
I am not into making fun of the handicapped.
I shall deal with you now with the respect that every special person deserves. …

“Disgust, but not as much as picturing the repulsiveness of your physical person, alone in a room, muttering to himself while posturing on a message board and licking the doritos dust off your fingers.”

Hey guess what, if you get fucking banned Phone it’s not me doing anything to you. That goes for everyone else on the forum who might like her. I understand that attractive females might be highly valued on the internet and it’d be sad to see her go, but I don’t suffer from the deficiency, in fact,- as of late I’ve had quite enough of them: especially when they talk like that. So just keep that exchange I just fucking re-pasted in mind. Male or female, I wouldn’t let a person talk like that to me: so I don’t give a shit what the mods might do with her. I didn’t type any of that shit for her, I didn’t make her blow a gasket, I didn’t bait her or troll her into it: that’s what she felt like saying, so fuck it.

They did, and you’re right.

Not true.

They would be privatized. Roads and especially Highways/Bridges would have tolls.

I ain’t intellectually intimidated by no one. Because I done the work. Which is also incidentally why I have no trouble seeing the merit of your writing.

I will lash out at friends, for perceived weakness, and will attack political enemies, not because they have any kind of intellectual substance (this fact is itself what makes them my enemies), but because war is afoot.

So you? What’s your excuse?

Take care you don’t substantiate the lady’s accusations.

No Urwrong!!! Only the government can build stuff! Why do you always gotta cause trouble?

“bros i think the fucking capitalists wedged that wage tax shit in there.”

Braudel: state-assisted monopolization. I went into it in one thread or another.
