Sunday morning exercise re: the primitives

[franksolich]

The latest bonfire brought over here from Skins's island by VivisMom got me thinking.

What could possibly be funnier, more hilarious, more rib-tickling, than observing the primitives describe and discuss religion?  What other sight could possibly provoke more uproarous hilarity?

BadCat recently suggested watching the primitives think Barry "Goldwater" Obama has the support of a majority of Americans is a rip-snorter.

That's good, but then I thought that watching the primitives allege the literary talents of the Bostonian Drunkard might be even funnier.

What is the thing the primitives do, that to you causes the greatest ungirded mirth?

[Carl]

For humor...economics and day to day realities of the world and how divorced and ignorant they are of them.

Most irritating is their attempts to portray Jesus as a socialist activist then in the next breath throw the Bible and its teachings on the floor and urinate on it.

Damn.

I forgot all about that one.

The primitive perception of the real world.

One should wear a corset when observing the primitives explain worldly reality to us; otherwise the skin's going to break loose, from laughing so hard.

1. Watching them twist and turn as they completely change their viewpoint within the length of a thread...

2. Watching them preach openess and acceptablity whilst stifling all 'outside' thought.

3. Watching the modern Trotsky-ites and Stalinists (hereafter refered to as Hillery-ites and Obamanists) slaughter themselves for the greater good of the Democratic Party.

Watching them debate how fair and open minded they are versus the fundies and the "Freepers"

Always lightens my mood.

[Lord Undies]

Watching them squirm around the subject of Jesus Christ is hilarious, but it's about faith, or the lack thereof.  I have to say watching them murder the subject of ecomonics is the funnier.  Economics is a solid hands-on for real principle.  There is no room to deny any of its realities, so they have to make up wild off-the-wall crazy crap that has absolutely no basis in truth, and is usually disproved and exposed as wishful thinking fanatsies within their own post. 

[DixieBelle]

All of the above and in general, just watching them bend into positions that would make any Yoga instructor blush. They seem to go out of their way to deny the reality that they live in. It's pretty amusing.

[BlueStateSaint]

Gotta agree with asdf here.  They claim to be sooooo "tolerant" of others' views, yet when someone mentions a view that's not written on the walls of the Hive, that poster gets a tombstone.

What ****ing hypocrites the DUmb****s are.  (Lurkers, think about it.)

[VivisMom]

This is kind of pedestrian, but I love it when they make "lists" of all of Bush's "impeachable" actions. It never fails to amuse.

Hi5! Absolutely agree, Undies.

My caveat on the religion thing is what I said in the recent bonfire on the topic. The fact that they can't see their own inconsistency on the topic. In order to have the world they wish for they would have to become(and are) rigid in their beliefs and force them on others. Of course, this means they would be just as tyrannical as the religious people and their beliefs they claim to despise.

But, yes economics is always a knee slapper. I'm in tears from laughter sometimes over their 'where does profit come from' discussions.

[Chris_]

I'd have to say the funniest is watching the fawn all over a person, such as the Ditchwitch, then switch to hating the person quicker than a fart cutting through denim.

The saddest would be watching them pronounce themselves as "for all people", "for the needy", "for those without a voice", & etc. then immediately rushing to another thread to defend murdering unborn babies.

[jukin]

PROJECTION.

The DUchebags have perfected it to a science.

Well , there's so much great value comedy over at the DUmp that it is hard to pick just one.

First there's the naked, blatant hypocrisy that is interwoven through the entire site in all issues from economics to  personal behaviour. They'll blast Rush or similar for abusing some form of prescription drugs, at the same time as discussing which type of pot that they are presently consuming. This mentality applies to their stance on law and order too, ergo they can break the laws that THEY don't like, but when someone else breaks that same law it becomes a heinous crime. They have no problem with usury levels of taxation on the producers, but looters and leeches like them are given a pass. Their instant elimination of any and all dissenting opinion all the while clamoring that their freedom of speech is being suppressed.

You have the primitives discussing religion. It's like listening to two New York Stockbrokers comparing DroughtMasterâ„¢ to Hereford. Now I'm not religious, so I am constantly dumbfounded by the effort consumed by people that claim to be atheist / agnostic on bashing Christianity, while giving Islam a free pass on exponentially worse behaviors by a far larger proportion of its adherents.

After that is their constant whining that they should "MARCH ON DC" and "PEOPLE POWER !!!11!" , all the while sitting on their arse eating cheetos and smoking weed (and waiting for someone else to do it). This is also their position on employment and social services from what I can gather.

Then you've got the "it's all OVER" crowd that seem perpetually convinced that the end of the world is neigh. These people lock them self in their basement every time and wait for the apocalypse every time that a camel farts somewhere in deepest darkest DurkaDurkaStan. Some of these people actually seem to revel in the notion of society crumbling and operate on the incorrect assumption that they will be the leaders of any new society that would emerge from the ashes rather than the serfs.

There's plenty more but they are the top raters in my book.

It is quite a thing to watch,reality and truth are mearly constructs to serve a fleeting moment rather then absolutes.

I think there would be much money to be made doing clinical studies of their dementia....That is if one was a lib and had no qualms about getting rich at the public trough studying stupidity.

[franksolich]

.....and operate on the incorrect assumption that they will be the leaders of any new society that would emerge from the ashes rather than the serfs.

For the well-being of the primitives, this is perhaps the most dangerous illusion they have.

The useful idiots go first.

Always.

It's never not happened.

[delilahmused]

I love it when they try to illustrate how intellectual and enlightened they are and when they're trying to convince themselves of their compassionate natures only to have every thread turn into a self-centered whine-fest. The way they justify their viciousness and hatred (especially when someone on the other side of the political spectrum dies) by saying it's because the person they're trashing was so vicious and hateful. Teaching by example isn't one of their strong suits. The how depressed are you threads are generally pretty entertaining as are the "George Bush will be dictator for life" paranoid fantasies. Pretty ironic considering how they all feel about Castro and Chavez.

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the conspiracy theories!

BFEE
9/11
Chappaquiddick
JFK, Jr. as a hit job by the BFEE (when everyone knows Hillary did it!)
Wellstone
Etc.

It's always amusing to watch the mental contortions they have to go through to make the facts fit their preconceived notions.

[LC EFA]

I love it when the they simultaneously claim that GWB is the most idiotic buffoon on the planet , while being the mastermind behind the greatest "black operation" in the history of mankind.

The sort of operation that involves tens of thousands of people, and that not any single one of them has talked to this date.

The sort of maniac that thinks GWB should have run, screaming like a liberal,  from the classroom when he was informed of the situation, rather than calmly deal with the situation and allow his security staff to do their jobs by ensuring that even though should he have for the helicopter at the immediate instant his security detail had word of what was happening the liberals would be blasting him for "scaring the kids"  or some such bullshit.

I constantly think that if only they'd invest the same effort into "debunking" the lunatic version of events, as they do to the "official" version they'd all be a lot more sane.

[franksolich]

....they'd all be a lot more sane.

Dream on, sir.

That itself is rib-rocking funny.
