That sound you hear off in the distance is a thousand high school biology teachers weeping.
So yesterday he poses a question to the forum which is one part Birth Certificate Conspiracy Theory, two parts misunderstanding of the Constitution and about 11 parts crazy juice.
Premise: He still doesn't think Obama was born in the United States. Has link to government wiki article saying that if someone is born overseas then BOTH parents must be citizens to be an automatic citizen and wants everyone to discuss if this means Obama is not qualified for the Presidency.
He then replies to EVERY thread with the same copy and paste reply.
Hilarity ensues.
Because I have low blood pressure, sometimes I need to read places like

This post got me thinking that for once there's an almost charming SPO to behold, with misinformation on spaying/neutering and wanting their doggies to get it on. Now, everyone's going to be cool and get a good laugh out of this because it's

Aside from some of the members in SPO just not getting it, or at least not right away, there's also
ana_magus, who is VERY UPSET and wants you to know it. It's gets really good starting around here. It gets so bad, that she actually posted

So it all begins with a white woman crying about the lack of sisterhood because some black women aren't fawning over her for dating a black man. This starts off a thread by
talking_apple, which will come back up later.
witchsistah is a bit upset about the generalizations, to say the least. She brings her rage.
Another post continues the sisterhood!
neo_prodigy brings some win to the comm and explains what's going on, and
talking_apple hangs on to her privilege with a death grip.
talking_apple is now unsure of what the community is for and polls the members.
After that, an entire post about
talking_apple and her recent blatherings.
Well, after that,
talking_apple is having none of it and flounces from the entire community and in fact starts trolling in order to get banned because she has no self-control she has no self-control.
The flounce is just what makes it, I think.
eta: and a few hours later we have flounce deletion. She was so proud of herself I didn't foresee a deletion, so I didn't get caps. Anyone?

conservatism,
madoverlord and I are having a conversation about zoning out, among other things, smokers and tittie bars; that is, the practice of establishing an X-foot radius around certain structures in which said activity can't take place, and then making X large enough so that it's not physically possible to participate in the activity.
He argues, perhaps reasonably, that the smoking ban in Boston is of this sort--nowhere in the city is more than 25 feet from a window or door, and he's convinced that the number 25 was specifically calculated to achieve this effect.
And then he takes a weird veer into Tinfoilhattia:

And then he takes a weird veer into Tinfoilhattia:
It's kinda like the people who are trying to get talking on a cell illegal in a car... on the face, it sounds great for road safety, but you KNOW it was also calculated that most calls into talk-radio shows happen on the road, so their in an alterior motive as well.
Sorry, this is irrelevant to this comm and I didn't get the reference.
My super double fail, especially since I had to read all the comments before I got it. Sigh.
Very short stupid, no drama, but it gave me a chuckle.
Roger Ebert discusses"free range kids" and the fears that keep parents from letting their kids roam free today as they did when he was young. He's pretty balanced about it; he admits that some of the evil parents fear today seems more prevalent than when he was a kid, at least according to the media, but it's still sad to think that fewer kids much have free time outdoors.
This sparks a moderately interesting and wide-ranging discussion about other people's free-range childhoods or lack thereof, and theorizing about the results.
But then there's a commenter who goes by the name of Peter Wendt:
"I saw a movie recently (can't remember the name, some documentary I think) about a young cub scout who is left to wander unsupervised and ends up shanghaied on a floating house to South America! It all ended okay, thank goodness, but it really makes you think."
The comment is so stupid, no one even responds to it.

ohnotheydidnt is like shooting fish in a barrel, but it was either this or start wank myself.
cavicouture makes a post about former Hills characters/stars Heidi Montag Pratt and Spencer Pratt (aka "Speidi"), and their apparent new association with conspiracy theorists New World Order.
These views include 9/11 being an "inside job", global warming being "mind boggling", and birth control sickens and devalues women, causes depression, cancer and sterility and suicidal tendencies.
There's lots of blah blah - "Die Speidi", and then in a thread that's all "Yay, birth control",
planet_janet mentions her friend who refuses to take regular birth control, but has taken Plan B "like 4 times in the past year".
stah_chica totally knows a girl like this, who is afraid of hormones, but "Plan B is what, like taking Tylenol?"
l_dolla tells us that Plan B is like taking a week's worth of birth control pills, and
planet_janet agrees "It is definitely WAY worse to take plan B than it is to take the pill.. especially four times within the span of a year. Apparently you shouldn't take it more than twice in a year. I'm scared to ever take plan B because of the side effects"

In a post about paying respect to Michael Jackson through cards and flowers and toys, someone wonders what will happen with all of the stuff.
But it's OK to waste money on herself because she's still alive. She benefits.

OMG, a white female converts to a brown person religion!
----------
I dunno, it's weird that a Western girl who's supposed to be all liberated and shit would choose a religion that bitchslaps its women.
----------
Because Mohammed raping baby Aisha when she was 9 was just A-okay.
And the Qu'ran has explicit doctrines about the physical abuse of women if they get out of line.
----------
I see what you're driving at, it's just that Islam is ten times more misogynistic than Judaism/Christianity
----------
All religions are WTF_stupid.

After having been taught a little about early hieroglyphs (all religion stems from them, so they're important), I can honestly say ALL religion and people who 'convert' 'revert' 'find themselves' 'find god' 'find jesus'
can just go die in a fire.

It's a bit old, but Saint Shatter Slut wants us to know all about feminism and her oh-so-kinky lifestyle choices. But it's not a choice, oh heavens no, it's the ~natural order.~ *Sparkle sparkle*
Here's a choice quote from the asshabadashery:
"I believe in Male Supremacy, that men are better than women and women are inferior, and that men should keep their women in line (otherwise we end up with feminists who refuse to have children and basically want to be men -_-)."
Commenters seem to think she's a troll, but given that she still exists? You tell me. Still, dumber than a box of cocks.
And we've got a hint of meta in the comments.

jesuissophie makes a post about Riam Dean, the Abercrombie & Fitch employee who was sent to the stockroom because her prosthetic arm violated the store's "Look Policy," [and] is suing for £20,000.
Seems straight forward enough, right? The real fun begins when
mightymaus rides in with all her anti-positive-discrimination-tiny-texted glory and states that she [doesn't] get it. People are discriminated against everywhere. Work somewhere else. Somewhere that will appreciate you. And that [m]ost places discriminate against tattoos and piercings, sure people chose to have them but so what? It's still discrimination. ('Cause having a prosthetic arm is totally the same as tattoos and piercings you chose to put on yourself, amiright?)
porcelaingrl and
somewhereness make valiant efforts to bring some sort of reason to the debate, but
mightymaus just isn't getting how what she said makes absolutely no sense. Clearly, we have all missed [her] point entirely.

Why does he come back to antifem to be abused and hated once again after these fine years without him, you ask? Because we NEED him! We can't survive WITHOUT him!
There's also small, but delicious wank on the call-out post, in which lolcrafty is, once again, b&.
He went over to have a shitfit in

A few days ago in
wow_ladies,
frostfur made her very first post, sharing a slightly tl;dr story of a 15 year old player incessantly flirting with her. (Abridged version:
frostfur initially assumes the other player is also female and asks if she's bisexual, to which the other player answers yes. Later it comes out that the other player is actually a male.)
Most of the commenters find the story amusing, a handful wonder why
frostfur brought up the sexual orientation question in the first place, and
batty_kitto makes a long meandering comment about...I don't really know what.
Today,
frostfur made her very last post to
wow_ladies, having apparently been turned off to the community forever by the few comments that had fairly politely engaged her about the bisexual question.

Okay, so I'm a stupidfree woman who likes stupid, but I don't appreciate it when people say to me, "Oh, you'll change your mind," when my stance on not having stupid comes up in conversations. I also have a big beef with the people who allow their stupid to run wild in restaurants and other public places. That's the reason why I joined the
stupid_free forum. However, I must say that in the past few weeks it's become less of a "let me tell you about the asshole stupid I just encountered" to entries like http://community.livejournal.com/stupid _free/1153236.html.
