Yep, that ^

Thanks Putin for showing your bigotry and mocking the LGBT community. Oh...wait....no surprise, since you hero and namesake would rather have them shot dead in the streets of Russia than give them human rights. Way to go, asshole.

Be quiet krellin, Putin was not attempting to be offensive, he was just having a chuckle.

Jamie -- perhaps you are unaware of Putin around these threads. He's a viscious, perverted attack dog. Had *anyone* else made the "joke" he made, he would have been all over them like a whore on a crack pipe. So no, I won't be quiet. Putin is not worthy of *any* respect, good humor, understanding, etc. He's a worthless, hate filled ass clown -- keep in mind, this is the school teacher that blames students 100% for all problems in schools - a thing he openly admitted on these threads..even as he admits teachers give unearned passing grades. He's a worthless piece of shit.

Apparently he does a lot of charity work and he's kind to the poor and gays.
I bet he could wrestle a man naked on a rug in front of a log fire and not get a hard on..

Krellin would you link to the thread where Putin said that about schoolchildren? I must have missed him saying it, but I've seen you say it 1,794 times in the past week.

krellin: Assuming Putin is a vicious attack dog... You just do what he does? Play his game? Who's going to know in the end who started it? I can't say for sure and it's going on right now.

If you want to reach anything other than becoming Putin I suggest you don't attack just to attack but only with solid argumentation and without sounding like a vicious attack dog yourself. Basically my point is that you say good things but it gets ruined by useless attacks making people like me hesitate. I think I'm on your side but I think most people will start with not liking you, just like I did, thanks to your behaviour sometimes. Not many people can argue with a bit of sense and you can, exploit that by not resorting to low tactics.

Just saying because I'm on your side, although you keep me hesitating :)
(in fact I probably still wouldn't like you much if it weren't for people like SYnapse being unable to argue why you would be racist and all)

Bad punctuation bit below the middle but I think you'll understand it :)

@ Jamie,

Krellin is referring to this thread, specifically comments made from about page 3 to page 5.

I would venture to guess that most people in the customer service field do not particularly like their interactions with customers, although they want to help people in the abstract. Customers tend to be rude, aggressive, lazy, and unappreciative. Ditto students. I do not feel the same away about the little kids with disabilities I work with now, as they cannot control their behavior and you tend to see progress with them over time.

As for the grades thing, he was referring to my comment about grade inflation and graduation rates. What I inartfully tried to convey was that if teachers were as stringent as they could be, we'd have an extremely low graduation rate. There is always subjectivity with grading, and teachers vary with how harsh they grade. It's not fraudulent grading, it's just not strict. And curriculum is constantly being reformed to dilute the requirements.

Blankflag has now joined the likes of Jesus, Joan of Arc, and the guy who stood infront of a tank in Tianamen Square - martyrs willing to die for a cause they believed in. RIP blankflag, any other true believers let us assemble ourselves as His disciplines and preach his word in these forums. Let us never stop as blankflag did in our attempt to convert the heretics JMO (satan) and others.

I think you cross a certain line when you mock Tank Man. Might just be me though, but that guy's a true hero. Can't name him in the same breath as those con artists/myths IMO.

What about the guy that set himself on fire in Tunisia?

Unless he did that to prevent many people getting killed and it worked, I see no problem with that guy :P

I should clarify I don't know what you're talking about, just in case.

Can the admins please explain what exactly the "spamming" by blankflag was? I'm afraid I can't see it. Since I know he couldn't have been banned for voicing politically incorrect opinions or bad punctuation, I'm hoping the admins can clearly define his offense so nobody else will make the same mistake in future.

It seems the current definition of spam is “anything that causes irrational irritation to any given mod…”

jamiet you hypocrite faggot. Putin made a joke about the LBGT community (although i bet he despises them), by your logic that would be a big insult and he would be actually be mocking the LGBT community, because joke = mocking in your idiot logic.

Earlier i said that making rape jokes does not make someone a bad person, it does not mock rape victims, and you give me this BS

"@ ILN: "Making rape jokes doesn't make you a bad person"

Sorry, but yes, it does. Making jokes about rape trivialises it. Joking about rape reinforces the patriarchal oppression of women which so deeply embedded in our society."

By your retarded bipolar logic, putins joke about the LGBT community trivialises the subject and reinforces the oppression of gays which is so deeply embedded in our society.

Get off Putins dick

@Tolstoy ... he was told to stop creating new threads and keep his ... bullshit ... to one thread.

@ ILN: Putin did not make a joke about the LGBT community.

Uhhhh..yes he did. I called him out for it - because it's the same sort of joke HE would have jumped all over someone's ass for.

You *accused* him of so doing, Krellin, but that doesn't mean he did.

ILN: jokes are pretty innocent IMO. You seemingly assuming raping a woman is the only form of rape is, however, pretty sexist.

If that's not what you assume, tell me how joking about rape reinforces the patriarchal oppression of women.

ILN, people might take you seriously if you didn't use "faggot" in your attempt to call out Jamie.

Steephie, that's a long conversation but a good start is the Totally Biased episode with Lindy West and Jim Norton.

steephie, jamie said this:
"@ ILN: "Making rape jokes doesn't make you a bad person"

not me lol it seems you misunderstood

I'm sorry that i touched upon a very sensible issue for you mendax.

Ah, I already found it weird you said he was talking bullshit while he said exactly what you said :P

Then what I said to you counts for jamie, but I have something to say against ILN as well: there is a distinct difference, morally as well, between a rape joke and an LGBT joke. Rape is not about any specific group other than that the perpetrator is usually human. A guy can rape a guy, a guy can rape a girl, a girl can rape a guy, a girl can rape a girl (slightly depending on your definition but pretty sure it's true), and a guy can rape a monkey, not sure if a girl can rape a female monkey but who cares. My point: you're not talking about a group more specific than human. I could continue talking but you get the point.

That said, I think both can be joked about but that's a matter of opinion and in my opinion someone who says you can joke about rape and not about LGBT isn't a hypocrite.

And then some think you can't joke about crimes and can joke about LGBT stuff. So they don't rule eachother out and I don't think you have to be a hypocrite if you think one of them is good and the other one is bad.

I know that might have been confusing but it's all about the last part :P
