Okay, I admit I'm tempted to start an online petition in support of getting the Count's girlfriend some Tusk implants. ;)
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

I'd hit it even harder if she had tusks. (Well, not really because my GF would be really hurt if I hit anything that wasn't her. But you know what I mean).
Considering that I'm happily married, I know exactly what you mean. I was speaking in the hypothetical. :)
Yeah, PR has backed off a bit. It would be pretty cool if you would stop hammering on him.
Not that I've been hammering him especially, but regardless of whether he's backed off on any particular point, he still deserves some hammering...not for what point he was making, but with the intellectually bankrupt way he was trying to make it.

Seriously, those pictures of are flat-out ugly people. Skin color whatever, they are ugly. They are proof of absolutely nothing, and should never have been posted if he didn't want to be ragged on.

I'm not defending the way PR presented his argument by any means, but what authority gives anyone the right to do that (Not attacking you specifically, just a general statement)

I admit freely and fully that in the past I've gone into "Internet Avenger" mode and thought I had the right to punish people for various things. That has accomplished nothing except hurt feelings and me having to leave many message boards. I have walked that path, and know that it only leads to fail.

However, I can say that all day long, but most people will have to see the fail for themselves before they understand.

I'm not defending the way Hitler dealt with his hatred of Jews, but what authority gives anyone the right to do that [hammering]?

You don't get the right to punish people who are wrong from a source of authority. Everyone has that automatically, because they have the ability to do so, and if they want to, they jolly well can.

Comparing my statement about black facial features to killing Jews? Stay classy, Kaelik.

See, this is a common misunderstanding. You claim about racial features was not in any way like killing Jews. Count just stupidly based his anti-smacking down wrong people rant on a basis that can be applied to anything ever, and so I demonstrated that his argument applies to everything.

Oh, I don't remember that part. Was the trippy spaceship castle build on the same foundation as Marriage Between a Man and a Woman?

Count the thread doesn't randomly change topic. It ends. But you kept posting, thus defying the universal signal for end thread.

Only Hitler would do that. Hitler tries to talk about Raptors when the thread is done, stop being Hitler.

I am sorely tempted to include Cyberzombie Immortal Deinonychus Hitler as a plot-arc villain in my Shadowrun campaign now.
