namecalling in mefi al qaeda/iraq thread August 26, 2002 9:51 PM   Subscribe

No, dumbass... this isn't a war on weapons of mass destruction... it isn't a war on the fucking "concept" of terrorism, wherever it rears it's ugly metaphorical head... Al Queda is a threat to us. Iraq is a threat to us. Do i have to spell it out for you morons? it's a war on threats to us. motherfucking DUH.

Inexcusable. I could say more, but it would get ugly.

Link please, so we can read it in context, but yeah it's not the best way to make a point.

I couldn't figure out if that was serious or parody.

Inexcusable.

Agreed. What an uncouth rouge.

I couldn't figure out what that hell he was on about and reading it in context didn't make it any clearer. Pretty poor way to make a point in any context, though. Not to mention the grammar and spelling.

Well I had no clue which thread it came from, and I wanted to try and figure out what that comment was made in response to.

I couldn't figure it out either.

motherfucking DUH.

I love that. How can you argue with that?

In this spirit, and returning to the subject at hand: Uhhhh, I will gladly challenge Mr. Hussein to a drinking contest--yeah, to the death; motherfucking, duh--to protect us all from threats to us and shit like that. We're talking Burr v. Madison, except with jager and a kick-ass soundtrack.

Fuckin' A.

I think all of "us morons", left, right, and other, can put 100% of our support behind subgenius' suggestion (praise 'bob').

It's almost September. Hopefully this one won't be eternal.

This is better : "No, dumbass... this totally isn't a war on weapons of mass destruction... it totally isn't a war on the fucking "concept" of terrorism, wherever it rears it's ugly metaphorical head... Al Queda is totally a threat to us. Iraq is totally a threat to us. Do i totally have to spell it out for you morons? Like, I am so sure! it's a war on threats to us. motherfucking DUH."

Although a couple of 'dude's dropped in as well might make it a little more verité...

I can't wait for my boss to say something short-sighted to me, just so I can say to him, "motherfucking DUH."

My favorite line from that movie was Larry Fishburne saying "fuck you very much" to the fried chicken clerk.

I propose that anytime any one mefi wants to make a personal attack of any kind against another mefi, they should (a) single that mefi out by name, then (b) substitute the most juvenile personal attack they can think of. Example:

stavrosthewonderchicken: Up your butt with a coconut!

In this way, the personal attack can be made publicly (thereby creating the much needed cathartic response for the attacker) while at the same time registering the displeasure and defusing the situation for the recipient.

Who's with me, you buncha booger-eating fartknockers?
