Socialism vs. Capitalism (according to the Onion)

[zyxt9]

He posted it from The Onion.

Yet you and the other nimrod believe he is sincere.

You two just got the shit trolled out of you if you think anyone, anywhere, ever, has tried to use The Onion as a serious source for anything.

I bet you two are the guys who, when someone makes a joke to a group of people and everyone else laughs after the punchline, sit there with their jaws hanging open for a few seconds then try to explain how the premise of the joke is unrealistic.

It was the fucking onion for christs sake. :lmao:

IF this was the one and only time Champ had ever posted his preferences for socialism over capitalism, I could understand where you are coming from.

However, you of all people should be capable of realizing this is very far from the first time he has ever posted socialistic preference material, whether it is in satirical form or serious propaganda.

So I really don't get your point. His socialism "jokes" are old, boring, and tired. As I said, if he really prefers it, then he probably should have moved to a socialist country instead of to Houston.

Oh, I'm sorry...I forgot to laugh...Ahhahahaha...ahhh...yeah...still not funny because it is old, worn out, stale, and comes across flat. It's like knock knock jokes...they get old, worn out, stale, and come across flat too. Feel free to laugh at them all you want, doesn't mean they are funny to me anymore. Guess I just don't have an ounce of humor in my bones any more. I'll try harder...HAHAHAA....ahhhhh...nope, it's still unfunny, old, worn out, stale, and flat as...

Wait...NOW I get the joke! My bad!!! BWAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!! That's funny right there!

Nope. Didn't work either.

Maybe one day you can be in charge of uploading a better sense of humor into my head.

No offense though, Thumb...if it is possible, can you let Tinsel be in charge of the upload? I just tend to like his sense of humor the most out of any poster on this board. I wish I also had his ability to reduce tensions between opposing sides and many other solid traits that I don't possess. I'm just not sure Tinsel would be willing to take on such a daunting task as trying to provide me with a sense of humor....so, there is that.

 

[tinselwolverine]

He posted something from The Onion that really wasn't that funny.

Not that anything from The Onion actually is really ever that funny.

I sometimes wonder why anybody who posts here even ever bothers to read The Onion when they already have me.

Champ is a guy whom anybody would ever want as their neighbor.

And so is SpartanMack.

Same with Hungry (I don't think he posts on the politics board here).

MichLady and Vic, too, of course.

EDIT: Oh...and GoBlueBigJohn...

Oh.

I was posting my above post, I guess, as you were posting this.

Thank you.

Can't argue with that.

I've re-read what I posted twice, really not sure where one would think I was super duper angry. Is it because I used the 'F' word? If my potty mouth offended anyone, I'm sorry.

Oh that's nothing. I forget who it was, but I had too many bad words in a post and he refused to read it until I cut them out.

All you Socalists want to be is social. Get off my lawn.

 

[Spartanmack]

Your exact words: "and the moron's who giggle at them and post them on this site actually believe it's true."

I thought it was funny. By your logic, I think it's all true (I do not). Got it?



If a couple swear words means I'm raging, then I guess most people on this site rage quite often. But I'm pretty sure there isn't a correlation between the two. At the end of the day I'm not the one telling people to leave the country if they don't like it here. You can color it any way you want, but that's exactly what was said. It's ignorant.

you're not the guy that I was referring to when I made that comment. You're not the idiot that posted it are you and apparently you don't think it's true so it is possible you're not the target idiot of my post?

But you're a different kind of idiot. It's not just the foul language - it's the assumption that you made about zyxt making an ignorant comment which you apparently also misinterpreted and the assumption that I was upset or offended by the meme. Nobody is offended by the language or the message - at least I'm not and I doubt zyxt is either. You made bad assumptions about both of our posts and went off on childish rants. You sounded like an ignorant fool while complaining that something you misunderstood was ignorant. I'm not offended, I just think it's stupid. But I wouldn't expect a 20-something hot head to see it that way so I'll just leave it at that. And sorry your girlfriend got knocked out last night - give that poster of her in your bedroom a hug and hope for the best in the rematch that you and nobody will watch.

Do you really think he doesn't believe that while it's satire, it's also true after all his bashing of capitalism and greedy captialists? Are you that dumb? That's a rhetorical question - no need to answer.

 

[Monster]

You gonna let him talk to you like that?

How many edits did it take for you to spell 'rhetorical' right?

lol...You've really latched on to the fact that I like MMA in this thread and embraced all of the stereotypes that it includes. That's the funniest part of this entire thread to me.

yeah, that was amazing. some of Thumb's best.

 

[byco42]

This whole dam thread is nothing but empty rhetoric.

 

[Gulo Blue]

Thumb, can you believe that Gulo - the "smartest poster to the board" - didn't even know that the quote "to each according to his contribution" was from Marx's The Critique of the Gotha Program?

THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT FUNNY!

I forgot to thank you for explaining that.

It's not good when the Onion goes over your head...

 

[Gulo Blue]

For the record, I didn't read sggatecl's post as angry. I even when back and read it a 2nd time, and I'm not seeing it.

Hey, simmer down there fella. You came pretty close to an almost swear in that post.

For the record, I'm not surprised.
