ROFL!

This is so, so true.



Like, dude, like this is soooooo totally true!


It is true, valid and accurate. Validity qua validity should be examined on its own terms, via a rigorous intellectual and philosophical analysis that few on this board have either the mental, moral, psychological, physiological, or functionary capacity to engage in in any serious way. The deterioration of any serious analysis of validity has come full circle as Keynes, Hugh Hefner, Barbara Streisand, and Charles Darwin have become the icons of the apostate left in their kicking against the pricks, which is to say failure to follow well-established conservative and Christian principles that have guided western civilization vis-a-vis its development, to the extent that few who have been educated in our public schools have really been educated at all, whereas literacy qua literacy is unknown among those who have swallowed the leftist agenda like a lumberjack discovering the mother lode, based as it is on class warfare, envy, atheism, an abandonment of values and the sexual revolution taking hold. It is not me who is to be blamed, for lack of a better terminological precision of meaning, whereas validity as a concept is not understood as such in certain circles of leftists qua leftists, who nonetheless prance merrily along their way as they drink the Kool Aid that cannot withstand scrutiny in the free marketplace of ideas. The fact that nobody is willing to engage in a serious, intellectually and philosophically rigorous point-by-counterpoint debate of whether certain statements by Graham and other leftist apostates of his ilk can even grasp the concept of something being true, actual, authentic, correct, dependable, or concordant with facts qua facts. This is further aggravated by the educated class, and given the force of law by our leftist legal system run amok with its ideas of "rights" supplanting traditional classical conservative libertarianism as such, manifested as lawyers who are all on drugs and rape kittens march into the courtroom and the Constitution is flagrantly disregarded as message board posts are analyzed via the Socratic method until a jury awards several trillion dollars in frivolous tort cases. Intellectual vigor of a sort envisioned by the founders of this country and codified by well-understood traditional Judeo-Christian values qua values are beyond the ken of the pale in this cesspool of a message board. Nonetheless, discredited economic and psychological theories are absorbed by the morass of the dearth of absence in this vacuous, empty, stupid, and un-serious treatment of sacred and serious matters here in the Trailerpark, being as it is, the High School maturity and kindergarten level understanding of ontology begs for those who subscribe and adhere to and believe in and adopt gospel and classical liberal/libertarian ideas that can stand on their own in the free marketplace of ideas qua ideas.

Sorry, Droopy, were you saying something?

You have outdone yourself here - I love how you can't seem to control your abuse of the english language as you attempt (ineffectively) to insult people more intelligent than yourself. I am starting to think that you are the true hero here as I fully support your defense of the LDS church:

Here's how I would edit it:

Like, dude, like this is soooooo totally true (so you troglodytes can understand). Darth spends too much time attacking my grammar and usage, while he should be taking stock of his empty criticisms of the Church. Graham is probably addled and can't figure out why he does any of this!


I know, it lacks the verbal onrush of Droopy's prose, but it makes the point much better.

Yup. Small typo there. It seems you were the only one here who was able to see it for what it was and not turn it into a question of my intelligence.

Thanks.
