declining quality of the primitives

[franksolich]

I'm still Sabbaticalling from Skins's island, keeping the boat and paddles high-and-dry, because I'll be over there much of this coming week, and it does stress one, wear one out, watching the primitives running amok in their fury and rage and Hate.

Anyway, the other night, I noticed I've been "scaling the grades" when categorizing the primitives according to class; non-primitive, first-tier primitive, second-tier primitive, third-tier primitive, the underprimitven or the faceless lynch-mob, bottom-of-the-barrel primitive, and drek primitive.

It seemed to me, for example, that I had "promoted" the cboy4 primitive from being an unterprimitiven way up to second-tier primitivism, which is actually quite a leap, or soar.

This, despite that the cboy4 primitive appears to have not changed in actual quality at all; he's the same as he always was, the same as he's always going to be.

It occurs to me that since the Obamaite primitives took over Skins's island, the Obamaputsch, many primitives formerly classed as non-primitives, first-tier primitives, and second-tier primitives, have gone away from Skins's island, either voluntarily or involuntarily.

And in an attempt to keep these upper classes inhabited, I've been instinctively "promoting" primitives of the lower classes, despite that they're no better than they've always been--this "scaling the grades" thing.

Now, "quality" is a subjective thing, dependent upon the whims of the observer, but it does seem to me Skins's island isn't making primitives like they used to, sort of like how bad money drives out good money.

Anybody else getting this impression, that the primitives aren't as good as they used to be?

Whenever I go over there looking for interesting threads, all I see is the same thing over and over again.  The usual chorus of "Repubs are doodoo heads!" and "George is the Debil!".  It's boring.

So much so that I've found my self drifting into their more ....obscure .. areas, like the dungeon, and mental health forums. The crazy in those places so far along the scale that it is at least amusing.

[Vagabond]

You are dealing with a human population, Frank.  That fact alone pretty much guarantees a sliding scale, much as an employer may scale potential employees.  People ultimately are not products and are therefore impossible assess using objective values alone, one has to use subjective values as well.

The putsch is still in full swing, so it's hard to say what its ultimate effect may be. It could well be devastating, like Stalin's purge of his officer corps, but I think that may give too much credit to the departing Hillbots. They are, after all, still DUmmies. On the other hand, as someone here mentioned, the new ticket is "Thugz and Plugs", so as the thugs on the island increase proportionately maybe "quality" declines. They will be no more or less despicable then ever, but maybe a higher percentage will rely entirely on profanity, or consistently make incomprehensible posts.

I first visited the island back in 2002 or 2003, whenever it was that Rush first mentioned them. I'd say back then the stupid was just about as strong as it is today. Remember, back then we got to enjoy an unmedicated Mopaul.

They are still fighting the primary there. Perhaps they will wake up and realize they need to start running against McCain instead of Hillary. Maybe obama might even figure that one out now that he's back from vacation. But I really think he should go wind surfing and goose hunting with john kerry after the convention, so that he can connect with the racist working class democrats. Since he is THE CHOSEN ONE he may not feel the need to compete.

It seems of late that they are always in a dark brooding funk punctuated by a day or two of mass hysterics.
Last weekend with the saddleback event for example.
There had to be dozens of ranting anti religious (Christian) threads and then by Monday or Tuesday they were settled back to the murmuring masses,huddled about the island.

My guess is that with impeachement long gone and the polls being what they are there has been a large upturn in the amount of meds the primitives have been taking.

[USA4ME]

I said "not certain" because, as you said, it depends on how one would define "quality."  For me, a "quality" liberal is one who behaves the way liberalism has defined them to behave; which means they move in lock-step, they're hypocritical, they're looking for ways to misinterpret words and actions to suit their own objectives, and they live by the motto that the ends justify the means.

Right now, there's still some friction between the Obamassiah cult followers and the Billary cult followers as to who should have rightly been the one to control their thoughts and actions.  As the Billary cult followers are tossed into the ocean and the island is inhabited by those who will bow down to the Obamassiah and obey his word, I suspect the quality of the posts themselves will reflect the general stupidity of the master they wish to place into power, and that among those posters there will be the immergent leaders, followed by the 2nd tier, 3rd tier, etc....

So there's going to be some shuffeling among the primitives and for the moment, until the island is cleared of those who refuse to march in lock-step with the one to whom they are commanded to march, the quality has dropped.  I highly suspect that the primitives, being the type where conformity is expected, have noticed there are other primitives missing, and not wishing to suffer the same fate and bring what would be the ultimate shame upon themselves of being known as one who would not be obedient, will fall in line as they have been commanded.  As with any primitive culture, from time to time it's necessary to sacrifice a few to remind the whole that their thoughts are not their own.

I didn't vote cuz there was no "I don't care" option.

 

[miskie]

I voted not certain - It seems to me that they less lack quality and more lack variety. e.g. If all one has to eat are tomatoes, one will eventually know every recipe known on how to prepare them along with inventing many many more - soon after one would develop the ability to taste nuanced subtleties in flavors and textures between them. Eventually one will evolve to the point of not caring anymore. Because in the end, all one has to eat are damn tomatoes.

The DUmmies, through directed herd culling, retirement from the island, and voluntary self immolation, have left behind a colony of tomatoes. Most of which are stinking, rotten, and inedible.

I think "we ain't seen nothing yet". The convention and realization that McCain is the opposition is going to shake DU to its core. I think we'll see some mandates from skinner and the primitives will not disappoint.

Their material is getting old and boring.

much in the same way CU declined after the ronpaul invasion.

     Now that Ron Paul is nothing more than a 10-second bit on VH1's forthcoming "I love the 2000's," I wonder what happened to all of his doobie-sucking supporters? Still waving their hands angrily in the air? Dickheads.

They should be out removing their litter from every utility pole in the country.
