Quote from: James McMurrayWow. Aren't there enough Nox bashing threads without having to raise some from the dead.

 but didn't think it would spawn a new trend.

Don't let your ego get the better of you James.A lot of others were ( myself included) taking the piss out of Noxy a while before you.

Yeah, I know, I could IL him. But I thought I´d try to reason with him.

Again, the KKK has no positive attributes AT ALL. At least with Hollywood you occasionally get good entertainment. Having known Klansmen, I can say with some authority that the organization does NOTHING positive. It doesn't even do anything for it's members (though it used to, long ago). Now it's just a hate group.

Being a hypocrite ain't as bad as being a right cunt.

Quote from: Dominus NoxFor the record, I am dead serious about having more respect for the KKK than for hollywood. I've gove over it before and won't repeat it now except to say that while I may not like the KKK or any other christian organization very much at least the KKK is honest and doesn't preach against bigotry and hate while practicing it like hollywood does.

I have friends who work in hollywood.  It's not some evil hive-mind where everyone is a despisable hypocrite.  If you genuinely have more respect for the KKK than hollywood then you need to get a better perspective.  

Quote from: Dominus NoxI said, and you can look this up, that they are not as hypocritical as the hollywood elite, and that they are more honest than the PC types who preach tolerance while practicing "acceptable" forms of bigotry against "acceptable" targets. That is NOT saying anything good about the KKK, it is saying that those who preach tolerance and acceptance while practicing 'safe' bigotry and intolerance are morally WORSE.

So, you have a problem with some Hollywood movies making fun of -- fat people, ugly people, socially awkward people, stupid people, etc?

Do you see the difference between:
a) Making fun of
b) Denying rights to
c) Killing

A, B and C may all be bad, but A is nowhere near as bad as C.

Making fun of certain people is the first step in making abusing them acceptable.

Making it acceptable to abuse certain people is the first step towards making persecuting them acceptable.

Making persecution of certain people acceptable is the first step on the road to makink killing them acceptable.


For years and years before the first cyanide shower opened, the nazis had been portraying the people they hated as subhuman, inferior, vile, etc. It made the main course go down easier.

This from a guy who loves name-calling ??


 Oy Vey!!

I call people nakes based on how they behave, which is why I call you a toadying ass kisser.

What mollywood does is abuse people simply because they don't look like fucking fashion models, you stupid jellyfish.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't the Nazis who started Jew-bashing. It was already a grand old institution.

Now, apparently, the bashing has shifted to Muslims. The parallels are astounding when you look at them. A people set apart by their religion, an alien presence in the middle of Christendom, a threat to Western civilisation. Ugly cartoons that denigrate people and reduce them to objects. Talk of 'solutions' (final ones, I presume).

Interesting times.

So you're saying that, sooner or later, Hollywood may one day convince us that it's not only okay, but desireable to systematically kill fat, lonely losers?  And this as-yet-to-manifest possibility makes them worse than the Klan with an established track record of premeditated murder and mayhem.

So basically, you've picked bedmates based on an irrational fear that someone has finally hatched a plot to go out and lynch your kind (and you may read "your kind" however you wish).

!i!

The United States is never going to carry out a policy of genocide against fat people. Genocides are for minorities.

Yeah, I was absolutely stunned by the recent study that ranked obesity in countries throughout the world.  Here in Uruguay there were concerns that Uruguay (ranked something like #37 worldwide) was tops in latin america for overweight people (Uruguay is a full of country of guys with beer-bellies and incredibly beautiful thin women).

But the crazy part was the top 10.  9 of the top ten countries were nations in the South Pacific. Places like the Republic of Palau, where you had these maori cultures with genetic obesity and terrible diets. Micronesia, etc etc. All the "maori countries" basically.

And smack dab in the middle of all of these, the ONLY 1st world country in the top ten rating, the United States. When you have as much fat people percentage wise (many many more population-wise, obviously) as Palau; I mean... shit...

It makes sense. We are large and in charge after all.

Damn straight. We're living large, baby! Those poor bastards are genetically fat. We're fat because we rule the world and like to show it by doing everything to excess.

Isn't that already what happens? I can't think of a time when Nox (or anyone here for that matter) said something completely full of odious crap and didn't called on it.
