It was a long time since I'd been to the Political Lounge. It's still the sleezy S&M club of intellectual discourse that it always was. Thread after thread was like a regular brain being beaten into submission by a mob of kinky, leather-harness-wearing midget brains. They swarm, they grapple, they go for the nads. It's a brutal display.
But by concentrating such combatants in one place, the political lounge provides a useful waste management system for the rest of the Internet. And for that realization, Thanksgiving Day will be a little brighter for me this year.

Yeah... I haven't been in there in quite a while. Not the most relaxing place in existence.

i think we should just allow some members to just only post in the political lounge.
for entertainment purposes only, of course.

Yeah, I guess Political Lounge is quite the oxymoron. Battleground may be more appropriate.

I have all of 3 posts in that joint, it really is full of pathetic people and pathetic arguments so I steer clear.
Not the the lounge here is the Ritz but it ain't half as bad.

And you're no different over there. Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Funny, I don't really mind the political lounge. People on other forums seem just as combative.

Now you know why we love it/hate it.

looks like somebody lost a debate in the Political/War forum and wanted to share their grief with the general public.

I posted, I left. I dunno what the status of those threads are, now. And I don't care.
If you say an angry swarm of halfwits fanned the flames of ignorance after I left, I'll just have to believe you. I know that's what counts for "win" and "lose" there. That's why I left. No one really cares about the truth -- they just want mental masturbation. Not my kick.

yeah really. "resize men so they should not have 2 boobies"? is he trying to say that "resized" men should have more than two breasts? and just what the hell is a resized man?

That's one thing I'll never understand about you: How you think that a debate on the internet can be lost or won. That said, I'm incredibly glad I don't post or even go there anymore. That place is bad for one's mental health. Let Bush/Kerry/Saddam/the USA/the EU/all the world's religions/Israel/Palestine/Political fanatics stew in their own fat.

I've gone to the political lounge all of 3 times. Its the same as it always is: A pile of people arguing pointlessly. Every last one of them thinks that they 100% right, and so on. Its just disgusting how blind these people are. Having opinions is fine, arguing pointlessly with people over them isn't. To top it all off them have no respect for the people they're protracting that endless flame-war with.
The internet gives anyone the balls to be a jack@ss

People don't win arguments over the internet, nor do they loose them... that's the best/worst aspect of it... not matter what ingenious thing you say, your still GEEK!. Myself including.
