KONY 2012 - Arrest kidnapper and warlord Joseph Kony

[Elvis]

this! You do realize most people like the guy, right?

He's posted some great stuff in threads we've had in spam that were of a political nature. Again, I'm sorry you're butthurt over the mod status change (it is painfully clear that you feel like YOU would have been a better choice) but it's best you just accept it gracefully and move on. You look really beta right now.

Who cares? Your original point was that he is legitimate choice because he works on Capital Hill and has the capacity to impart some insightful commentary AND humor.

What I see is stupid repetitive jokes involving the word camel and no actual commentary.

Keep changing the subject though.

EDIT:

And fuck no, I wouldn't be a better choice. And I don't care to mod this forum. I didn't even want SOLANIS banned, someone who I personally disliked.

I'm not changing anything. You're butthurt and we can all see that. No one cares.

Why even bother responding to anyone who's from spam? This YouMadness 2012 is probably some stupid trolling competition they have going and can get away with it since mods are in on it.

who told you our secret?

[Correction]

Your resistance to tyven's mod status only makes his penis harder.

No one cares about modding this forum or being popular on BG.

As a general rule, maintain civility. Avoid excessive ad hominem attacks. Go after the idea, not the person.

Respect, glorious respect.

[tyven]

Who gives a shit if tyven works on Capitol Hill? The only thing that is relevant is the validity of someone's argument. In the threads I usually comment in (ME-related), he's been nothing but a troll. That's the truth in the several years worth of threads on the subject.

It's pathetic that all I had to do was search for 'camels' under his username. That's not even half of it I think.

BUT HE WORKS ON CAPITOL HILL! Actually, that makes sense. Be a total sell-out douchebag racist (so long as it's against Arabs) = make it in American politics.

If you have any example to prove otherwise, then by all means cite it.

And I didn't insult Perm solely based on his status as a shitty spam troll.

hahaha holy shit. Also, elvis, i thought we were cool now. I love you and don't even troll you anymore and i cheer for you in threads and I dont even post in them anymore because i want to make out with you.

[Demosthenes11]

I never knew there was spam hate. How dare people post and try to have fun in such a srs setting.

Fuck I don't even post in spam and think you complaining assholes are dumb

[Indeed]

Listen, in order to become respected members of this forum with opinions that are recognized as valid, you first and foremost need to denounce every individual trolling post and chastise each person who made it. Otherwise, you're also a troll. This logic is infallible; I have several studies to prove it.

[Demosthenes11]

fucking spam assholes, shitting up this thread.

Now let's continue to talk about your past opinions on the middle east in this thread about a viral video on africa

I'd much rather spend my time propping up the legitimacy of the issues as portrayed in this video made by a couple of white people from America, while ignoring the opinions of some black people from the affected area. Clearly they are worthy of less consideration than these white guys, even without the British accent. I mean, clearly.

[Yugl]

I would base my opinion of America on what American Christians have to say about the world too. They're representative, you know?

Our black helicopters will be around to pick you up within the hour.

Oh, and don't mind the van out front.

[RKenshin]

Back on topic, I thought this article was very succinct and insightful. It's written by someone who's been a part of the issue for many years, without the (rather justified, imo) indignant disgust that usually crops up.

Great stuff, if only that message could reach the masses like the video.

A couple of white Americans make a video full of inaccuracies, are taken seriously as people "spreading awareness" about the "plight of Uganda." A couple of Ugandans make some statements contradicting the white Americans, are immediately dismissed on the basis that their information about the current situation isn't good enough because it's not backed by enough people. Africans: still only 3/5s of a person.

"Look, we JUST started KIND OF listening to African-AMERICANS. Expecting us to treat actual Africans like people is a bit lofty."
Apparently they just didn't hit that white guilt button hard enough to make it stretch across continents.

Smart people will recognize that neither is adequate for understanding the situation. Unfortunately, your arguments show you're incapable of making such a recognition.
