The "other" dudes story has already been blown up. Nice try GOP.

The Batlord 09-27-2018 11:45 AM

Yes, women are completely unaware that if they make accusations of sexual assault against a public figure that the immediate reaction will be to ensure that they are the Virgin Mary and woe be to any woman who ever wore a v-neck.

And it's called the statute of limitations, you dunce. Those guys ain't gettin' put nowhere.

Maryland doesn't have one I believe. But still, the story has already fallen apart. One of the dudes already denied the allegation and is even a friend of Fords and the guy who introduced her to Kavanaugh.

But we gotta hear everyonnnnnesss's stories. Don't dismiss people just because nobody can corroborate what they're saying. :laughing:

stop just saying ****, without doing the most basic research

But what if the left hand sees how much fun the right hand is having? Does that fall within the statute of limitations?

It must be easy to be so frivolous about sexual assault and victims of trauma when you have (presumably) no personal experience with it.

Stepping away from this thread at least until after this hearing concludes. It's triggering af to be honest.

One time when I was in Jr High some girl randomly came up and smacked my ass when I was walking down the halls. She will never know justice for she did.

The Batlord 09-27-2018 01:06 PM

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "definitely not" and 10 being "definitely", what are the chances your next five or so posts in this thread are going to be you bitching about people calling you stupid?

Unlike those two bozos who claim to have been the gropers, rapists, whatever, these women who testify will walk out of this with zero consequences regardless of whether or not Kavanaugh wins out because memory is malleable and they can claim as much later on. They'll go back to their ordinary lives unless a future investigation somehow uncovers more substantial evidence that implicates them later on.

others have already mentioned this, but neither of the bold statements are true

Flat Earthers are a special kind of stupid. Just because some of the biggest NBA players believe it doesn't mean everyone else should follow suit. :D

Ford: Growing up at around 15 between $80 meals after days spent practicing my diving in a pool with water that was never once polluted with dark skin or poverty I was traumatized for life when Brett dry humped me. By the way, I’m smart.

Kavanaugh: Not guilty. But I do have a story about a woman who told me a sexy little secret. Oh and I’m really smart.

I guess that's one way to look at it, but from what I've seen people on both sides are equally stupid for taking positions of emotion instead of evidence. I'm not even following the case and it's all I hear about at work and home.. *yawn*

Depends on my mood. Either way, just because I posted something stupid doesn't make me stupid. As insecure as I can be I feel that the people that need to treat others like lower forms to feel validated are just as insecure.

People who use "virtue signaling" unironically are morons.

Frownland 09-28-2018 08:36 AM

Not to mention that decrying perceived virtue signalling is typically virtue signalling of its own sort and we all know that nothing is worse than hypocrisy.

Utter bollocks no they aren't it's a fucking great phrase.

Using 'cuck' unironically yes, 'virtue signalling' no.

It's absolutely garbage. If you're using it it's because you have no way to argue against someone's point and are just using an ad hominem so you can pat yourself on the back (usually as a good red pill twit).

Bollocks.

You can use it at the same time as countering an argument so stop trying so hard tbh.

In which case it's pointless because you've already explained why the person is full of **** and are using an ad hominem you got from 4Chan or some comment section populated by other red pill twits. Have you ever seen a liberal use virtue signalling? I haven't. Just internet "skeptics" (i.e. self-important alt right fetus sniffers).

I don't care who uses it, the phrase is absolutely bang on. And if a liberal did use it you'd likely be all for it tbh.

windsock 09-28-2018 09:31 AM

And "ad hominem" is usually a deflector term used by people when they're clearly losing an argument. What's your point?

What are you talking about? You've promoted red pill nonsense in the past, you don't believe in any kind of privilege, you post Pepe memes, you have a redneck limey boner for the British flag, blah blah blah. The only reason you like the phrase is because it's used by people whose social and political views align with your own against people whose views do not. It's just self-indulgent echo chamber bull**** for you.

This is the third post in a row you've mentioned the phrase 'red pill'. Have you recently discovered it? Look at Charles and his new toy!

I like the phrase because it accurately describes when people make a point out of voicing opinions specifically to get praise or come across as a good person. It is absolutely spot on and it doesn't matter how much you try to accuse me of being alt right.

And stop making stuff up. I never said I never believed in any kind of privilege. That is a blatant lie.

What privileges do you believe in?

And I don't think you're alt right. I think you're one of those people with alt right leanings who doesn't get what they're sympathizing with (fascists and pseudo-fascists).

Applying assumptions of intent to people making points you don't agree with as a way to discredit them sounds a tiny bit like ad hominem to me.

Your post is racist btw
