I win again. At least Patrick put up a bit of a fight. Jeez.

Okay, it was a bit of an insensitive joke. Fine. You got me. But to get all offended by the word rape is just silly. There are horrible things that happen everyday in this world. Rape, murder, emo music, etc. Somebody, somewhere, and at some time has been put through the most disturbing things imaginable and it's safe to say that you will probably run into someone who knows a person like this. But is that a reason to censor a joke? I say no. Hell, the only way to stay sane in a world like this is to be able to laugh about the shit that happens. Also, how can you possible hold me responsible for the terrible acts of some disturbed individual? Do you think I really did rape and skin her mother? Do you think I was threatening to rape and skin her mother? No. You don't. At least, if you have any intelligence at all you don't. I knew a guy once who couldn't abide anyone saying the word death because his mother had died. All you had to do was say the word and he would throw a little hissy fit tantrum. I can't be held responsible for your mother dying or for your friend getting HIV. Sorry. If you were offended by the language and you didn't like the tone I was taking then I understand that. And maybe I'm even a little sorry. But don't be offended simply because you know a person who was raped because I will not walk on eggshells around you. Don't be stupid.

And molluck's assistant, I don't know if you've seen any of the pictures of me that are on here but I have a feeling that I could take you. I never actually threaten anyone with physical violence and I'm not being vain. You just made a claim that is fairly farfetched is all.

This is OANST being the most mature person in this topic. Bravo.

You liked fast food nation? Read the book. It's not a comedy.

I didn't eat fast food for over two years after I read fast food nation.

I always think If it taste good and it dosn't poison you you can eat it. Who cares if they wrestled a cow to death.

When you factor in all of the chemicals and hormones, it sort of is poisoned.

I'm not disputing that fast food is tasty, though.

Why is everyone getting upset by this sort of thing now? It happens every day all of the time. Why are you only angry when one particular example is brought to your attention by a sensationalist media? Poor show, I say.

Not as much as you think, BM, at the very least, not for all of us here. I see/saw it as one particularly sick incident to discuss, but this also then leads to a general discussion about this subject, at least from me and presumably others, obviously you for instance. You do bring a good point, however.

I have to agree with OANST's last post, though, Molluck's Assistant did kinda dig his own grave. He's not exactly done himself any favors at all by 'leaving' and he's gained nothing from this at all, he's merely lost a whole, excellent forum. His loss.

All I can say is that we can all probably learn a lesson from this.

OANST 12-09-2007 01:37 PM

Because I truly am a dick I'm going to post the pm mullocks assistant sent me describing how he knows he could whip me silly but just doesn't want to. Enjoy.



:

i've left these forums because i simply do not have the time for it with my job, not because you forced me out. i dont reply anymore but i still read, as a guest, but i had to make an acception in this instance.

to cut a long story short, i dont lie, i hate liars, so my last post was not far fetched, it was true, pure and simple. i just dont like people thinking im bragging.

let me tell you, i once ended up scrapping in the cow shed at the old farm i worked at with another farm worker over the fact he nearly run me over while speeding round the place on the JCB telehandler, which would have obviously killed me, which sort of justifies my actions.

he was 32, and had been working there since he was 20, but i still ended up putting him down, though i must admit i took quite a hiding, and my hearing is now permanently damaged, he was a big bloke. both of us never told the boss, and said a young cow had charged us over. he was partly the reason i left there.

you see when i was younger, my parents took me to a docter for blood tests, because they thought i was taking small amounts of steroids, stupidly. the doctor told them it was just because i had a fast metabolism, eat well, and did too much work on the farm.

now that ive justified myself to you, not that i like to, do you see why i laughed out loud when i read your post? why do you think i posted it in the first place? compared to the people i've righteously 'had', you would be a bit of trouble, but not much more.

anyway, im a decent person, and i would guess that your a father (due to the picture of the girl). im a family guy myself, therefore i would not even think of fighting you, because it wouldnt be fair on the kid.

well done though, you provoked me into sending you a PM to justify myself, but like i said before, its easy to threaten people that aren't even on the same continent as you.

now please, leave me in peace!


Is nothing sacred? No. Not while I'm around. Not even mollucks assistant's cow.

so it was ok for DI, OANST, Kastere and yourself, to gang up on me and take the piss when i objected to OANST's diabolical remark due to my family history?

Yup.

We can hardly get upset about a load of stuff that we don't know about. Poor show, BM, but your heart was in the right place - fluff manipulative tabloid journalism. As long as you have your head screwed on, you can treat whatever story on its own merits and cut through the crap.

As Hobo has commented on this, I'll consider it fair game.

This is all fine and dandy and true and obvious, except for the fact that you then went on to make a further joke specifically tailored to somebody's situation. Now, Hobo must be very easily pleased, because that didn't strike me as particularly 'mature' at all, and something that a person could take perfectly justified umbrage to.

OANST 12-09-2007 02:55 PM

That's what she said.

Mutual Friend is confused again. He thinks that when I said that I was disputing his friends claim of rape. I wasn't. I was just being nonsensical and stupid. Thought I should clarify that.

God, he is so damned confused. I hate his stupid face.







Animals shouldn't be murdered.

At least you admitted to it. Yeah, I kinda over reacted, but I love dogs. The sad thing is, the person responsible probably wont get caught. Plah, taht what makes me hate some people (the dude who did this...) Thank goodness I dont live in a town or city, though having a dog in a large city with no real space is kinda mean (no flamming please, just my view). Humans are tortured, yes, but not like animals. Animals, as Zerox said, are trusting, especialy dogs, as they are used to humans, so they are easier to abduct, unlike people who are anturally suspecious folk :p

How so? I'm not trying to undermine you or your opinion, I'm simply curious as to why you think this.

Strike Witch 12-10-2007 02:59 AM

This thread is awesome.

On fast food, I only eat it around once or twice a month, because I know it's a whole load of crazy shit disguised as meat, but by god, it's delicious.

Seriously, It makes me feel slightly ashamed of my civilization, but then I realise I sound like a hippie and drop it.

alf's brother's mate 12-10-2007 08:04 AM

Thankyou OANST. At the end of the day I over reacted, and

Should be the one to apologize. And unsurprizingly Hobo is right once again. Sorry for flipping OANST, i hope it wasnt taken to deep :D

Well, animals arent as intelligent as Humans (sorry Lassie), so they wount be able to pick locks, undo chains, untie themselves...(though some can't, but hardly any...) So they are easier to keep captive, and cant run ot the police and tell them if they escape...

This is exactly what makes the mistreatment of humans worse, in my opinion. Unlike a dog, we are capable of mistrusting someone and their intentions. Unfortunately, do to sheer force, and underestimation, or drugs, sometimes that isn't enough. By comparison it seems like small potatoes when someone kills or injures an animal. To outwit, and hold a human against their will so that you can act out some sort of twisted fantasy or ill-conceived notion, is much, much worse.

A dog, for example, does not really have any idea that it is about to be hurt, tortured, or even murdered. After enough abuse, sure, it might be wary, but it will never feel the pure terror that a human must feel in a similar situation. Our brains are different, and, as a result, we feel and experience more than any other animal ever could.

You made the point of an animal being helpless in that it would be unable to free itself and run to the police. Does a human not fall into the same category when in the exact same situation? Animals have it bad, but people have it worse.

alf's brother's mate 12-12-2007 04:51 AM

I agree, it's all "OH MY FUCKING GOD! THAT ANIMAL WAS SMACKED BY A CRICKET BAT!" But there's none of that if it happens to a human. A human knows full well what is happening, and it has to live or die with that, where's an animal has fogged feelings, and doesn't really understand.

I think.

Bullet Magnet 12-12-2007 09:41 AM

It does happen with humans, haven't you ever seen the news?

It's usually only Caucasian humans though.

It's certainly more likely if we're talking about cricket bats specifically.

I have a feeling that I should agree one hundred percent with this statement and I intend to spend the rest of my life deciphering it's meaning.

Laser 12-13-2007 10:14 AM

goddamn i missed all the cool stuff in this thread :(

ah well, life is terrible and terrible things happen.

since that dog died i think we should care more about all the monkeys whose mums had been killed for bush meat and the foxes being hunted down and killed by wild packs of dogs and bastards i shudder to call humans.

not one dog who was skinned then died

Bullet Magnet 12-13-2007 11:12 AM

What about the octopus people eat live and whole?

So what if instead of setting, you play it? Does the effect come into the Draw phase?

Your reply implies understanding of the original post. If this is so I would like to place myself under your tutelage as your mind obviously transcends traditional forms of reasoning.

Excellent. The first step is to not listen to my instructions. You must learn by not learning. The Green wind will swirl.

More at eleven.

MA 12-15-2007 05:20 PM

fer fuck's sake, okay, okay
 
seeing as this thread has calmed down, i'll pick up from where i left off.

after much consideration (and my girlfriend nagging me to all bloody week, after she saw my previous posts), i thought it best to apolagise, so...yeah, err...sorry people (talk about wrapped 'round the little finger!).

please, noone use the term 'so, you decided to come crawling back did yeh?!?', my pride is dented already.



(yes! now the 'all-holes-barred' ban is lifted...do you realise what you've put me through, OANST?!?).
:D

Mac Sirloin 12-15-2007 05:25 PM

Stop making you're posts seem like you're talking in real life, if everyone did you'd be hearing the term 'Cunting Fucklips' being thrown around a lot more than is deemed appropriate.

Honestly, animal cruelty is one of those hot issues that we'll never stop hearing about until a beautiful utopian society is built.
