Tanoomba's an idiot who argues his points horribly. He also holds unpopular opinions about a currently raging topic, and thus he gets far more abuse than the myriad of other idiots who populate these boards.

You know what happens here, when you come in with a viewpoint that opposes the majority? Ask Tanoomba. I made some pretty measured posts early on in the Zimmerman thing, saying things like that I didn't think there was enough evidence to convict him but that I also don't think he was...

See, that's the part that you're not getting. Yes, he clearly assaulted that store owner. Yes, he clearly had committed a crime. He deserved to face the appropriate consequences of those actions. He also was a young kid who did the same sort of dumb things that a lot of people of all sorts of...

Anyway, real talk Khalid since you're at least being cool enough to engage me: I hate a lot of what the media did during the Zimmerman thing, and during the Michael Brown thing. I hate all the rioting in Ferguson, too. It's stupid and counterproductive. But there's still a lot of racism in...

Well, I'm not black so you'll have to come up with some pretense.

Nah, I'm figuring it out. The key is to be completely convinced that you're correct and cast aspersions on the motivation of anyone who disagrees with you. Then you sit back and wait for other people who want internet points to join in and validate you. It's so simple!

I wish I could be as self-assured as you, to absolutely KNOW that your opinions about what happened in a situation you weren't personally involved in are correct! That there is zero ambiguity whatsoever about the fact that those American Inventors deserved to die, and that anyone who expresses doubt is not...

I mean, I am seeing this stuff in a whole new light! "On one hand its appalling that a cop caused a death of some guy who did not commit any violent crimes. On the other hand, i bet he did not choke him out for no reason. As soon as our dark skinned neighbors figure out that "keeping it real"...

Why, that all of these black people are turning out to be evil demons that so clearly deserve death that the legal system doesn't have to be involved! You're such a smart guy, you should have known what I was talking about.

Lemurs, no doubt.

So it's all just one big string of coincidences! I'm learning so much, here!

I'm saying that a lot of you like when disproportionate amounts of force are used against black people, particularly black people you think "deserve" it or that are "thugs".

Zy is right about one thing. I am pretty pasty.

What's the proper thing for me to say about the NYPD cop who just got off scott-free after choking an asthmatic black dude to death for trying to break up a fight? Do I scour the internet for the most thuggish looking picture of him that exists? Do I say he deserved it because he sold loose...

Not with that grammar, they're not.

See, I used to think that someone who thinks that the only way you can be racist is by actually saying "American Inventor" was incredibly, irretrievably stupid. I learned today that I was wrong! That really is the only way!

Well, if I didn't do that, you wouldn't have anyone to feel unjustifiably superior to. I'm just trying to contribute.

I'm just trying to learn the proper things to say so I can get +nets and participate in the circlejerk like you guys!

(I'm just having some fun, by the way. If anyone is lame enough to start reporting THESE posts, I'll stop. Just let me know)

Damn, and just when I thought I was getting the hang of how to do this. What's your take on "Alabama porch monkey"? Is that too old-fashioned for the kids today? I want my racism to be hip and relevant.

Oh, I see how you worked the homophobia in there, too. Nice. I'm learning so much!

I know, that's why I'm trying to learn. I don't seem to be able to get the hang of how to do this properly.

Don't derail this, this is important. I need to know how I can say horrible things about a giant segment of the public properly, while suffering no consequences for my actions. The key seems to be avoiding one of a couple of very specific words.

Well, the only way you can be racist is if you actually say the N-word. I learned that this morning!

Mario, how do I become one of the cool kids? Help me determine which of these buzzwords I should be using more often: -SJW -Chimpout -Thug -Journalistic integrity -St. George of Zimmerman Thanks!

Oh, Tuco, you so predictable.

Both. Plus Safeco will be problematic for him, and he's basically a DH. It's a really stupid deal. The only way it's not a DISASTER is if he manages to be an MVP candidate for the first two years of the deal.

Mariners in the early running for the worst move of the offseason. Again.

Glad you figured it out! That's a nice color for a Tele too.

It's not a big deal per se, but I'd advise against it if you're pretty new. It's REAL easy to screw up small things on a setup and make it worse rather than better. A Tele is going to be simpler to set up than something with some sort of a tremolo, but it's still possible to jack it up, and...

That video is hilariously bad.

Don't you fucking judge me!

And if Kari Byron suddenly shows up on my doorstep nude and demands that I become a vegetarian, I'll do it. My scenario is quite a bit more likely.

Do you have even the smallest idea of how many games have promised that there was secret sauce in the works that was going to fix all of people's complaints, and that it's never EVER been true?

Okay, you said Brad's "vision". This has to be a troll.

Does Brad share the Oxy with you?

How much of a fundamentalist nutjob are you?

You seem pretty crazypants yourself. Glass houses, stones, etc.

Probably needs a setup, yeah. Take it to a good reputable local shop. Shouldn't cost you more than about $40, depending on where you are.

I'm bandwagoning the fuck out of the Royals for as far as they go.
