The best conversations take years, not days, at least if you have any taste for detail and/or digression. But it's always good to bring a basic theme up bluntly now and then if a chat is going on for a while.

The basic themes I see in the OP are extreme parental incompetence and the legacy of Nazi Germany. I'm a lapsed-recovering postmodernist, so the irony is what has kept me sucked in and disgusted. From my above-average but still deeply inadequate historical understanding, I believe that if the Nazis had been successful, people who named their children after Lenin, Churchill, Mao, or Roosevelt would have been at minimum sterilized and their unfortunate offspring sent to 'camp.'

The Nazis were a most foul sort of eugenicist political party chiefly characterized by both a penchant for using force to maintain authority and a flair for creating the sort of 'crisis' environment that inclines otherwise sensible people to yield their autonomy to a reassuring authority figure. Also, I'm an old-blood European American from the deep South, and I have no doubt that ascendant Nazis would have cold shot their version of the idiot parents behind the OP. I don't need scholars to support me on this point. I gots kinfolk.

On the odd European law(s?) about what you can name your kids, well, I'm very proud to share my citizenship with Moon Unit and Dweezil Zappa, at least on the 'funny' name point. I often think we'd be better off if everyone switched to one of those vision quest naming systems, where the way you marked becoming an adult was choosing a public name that actually meant something in your language. I'm sure plenty of my friends could get used to calling me Mostly Talks Too Much.

That is what I “get” and it's clearly intended to fool no one. However you do try to fool folks into believing you have an opinion that matters and that’s where you fail miserably.

My response to you was hardly an attack on your persona. It was a dismissal of your persona as one beneath notice.

I don't, it was amusing.  I'm an asshole.  Calling you an idiot is like stating the sky is blue.  I'm running off the assumption that, barring evidence to the contrary, everyone is an idiot, myself included.  When someone starts talking about the evils of tree food in trace elements well below historical norms on a more relevant timeline...  It's really hard not to be a dick in the face of that, especially since I know the greenies are breeding faster than I am.

Absolutism is irrelevant.  The guy's just a run of the mill Neo-Nazi hate monger.  Putting up the pretense of being a historian while trying to excuse his precious Aryan race from any blame doesn't make Zundel anything but.  He's the lowest form of scum, lacking the balls to act on his vile outlook and settling for incitement of the idiot masses instead.  I wouldn't have jailed the fucker only because in my perfect world, his type are summarily executed for annoying me.  He's up there with the so called holy men telling the suicide bombers to blow up children so they can go to heaven.

If you want to make a valid point regarding the blame for WW2, you need to look into something resembling a legitimate, unbiased source.  There is plenty of cause available.  Ignoring the causes for Germany's dilapidated state, the British could have crushed him at the start if they weren't so intent on making peace.  Indecision and cowardice are equally to blame with Hitler for the end result.  Taking their revenge into consideration, it's France's fault that Germany was ripe for war.  France is the spoiled child punishing the defeated for the beating they gave them the first time around.  Without the economic repercussions from their victory in WW1, Hitler would have been more likely to be laughed at instead.  At no point does a Jewish shadow government factor into reality here.

You didn't put the lemon juice on your computer monitor's screen did you Samurye?  He wrote it in invisible pixils.  You need an acid to activate the text...

We're arguing on the internet.

This should be self explanatory.

Tree food, commonly known as CO2, incorrectly labeled as pollution by a billion plus idiots.  Currently residing in Earths atmosphere at geologically insignificant trace amounts, theorized to be a starvation level that accounts for the last half a million years of cyclical ice ages that account for the vast majority of the time therein.  Global Warming the theory is a bunch of horse shit, and I say that without the intent of insulting horses.  I gave you a couple links in the more appropriate thread.

BTW you wouldn’t happen to be Wheeloffire would you? No need to answer that.  

After our last interchange I looked up a few of your replies and noticed that you use the word “fraktard” on occasion. I also noticed from your profile that your membership commenced less than one month after Wheel’s exile. That plus the confrontational style, but I’m sure that it’s just coincidence, it’s not like the world has any shortage of self-admitted assholes, although you would need to be a damn good asshole to measure up to Wheel.

However even with all of that I do, in perhaps some pathological way, miss Wheel.

No idea who he is, my arrival coincides with entry into the Sins beta.  If I get around to signing up I'll post frequently, but it takes an act of God to get me signed up short of an actual necessity, such as bug reporting.  I've been using this handle where plain psycho is unavailable for the entirety of my online existence, you can follow me around to a couple other boards to test.  I definitely have a few asshole posts on civfanatics, and assuming the boards are still up, infinite interactive and aelia-studios will give some historical perspective to my posting here.  I'm pretty sure I've been pruned from Ubi by now, their old forums were the mother load in pedantic sarcasm laced with colorful metaphors.

As for fucktard, firstly it's shorter than fucking retard by quite a few keys.  I'm lazy, no I can't reconcile that with my posts.  It vexes me.

Second, and most importantly, those cunts at EA have filtered retarded and sucks, wonderfully appropriate words to describe them.  I tend to get pissed at counter productive swear filters.  Combining a foul mouth with the requirement to get creative to describe a fucking vacuum cleaner is just not a good idea.  Ubisoft had me intentionally slinging unblocked combinations just because they were filtering suck and retard at one point too.

Filters are nice, they keep me out of trouble.  Nazi filters(Edit: I hate puns... but I can't think of a better descriptor.) just give me the urge to firebomb the people running them.  Although for some odd reason, I've yet to be permanently banned from a single board.  Don't ask me why.

I'm guessing Wheel was banned?  The name is vaguely familiar in conjunction with posts by admins.  My actual account with Stardock dates back to Galciv I think, but I don't know if I registered with it or not, might have been GC2.

I believe he was referencing the saying about arguing on the internet: it's like the Special Olympics, even if you win you're still retarded.

I mean you have a choice of two threads. In the Off Topic forum there's Globalization, Global Warming, and Overpopulation where the prevailing sentiment is that global warming exists and to some arguable extent is caused by human activity. Then on the other hand there's the AP is another Global Warming Alarmist thread over on Joe User where the prevailing sentiment is totally the opposite.

So you have a choice of two threads on the same topic, one of which predominately agrees with your position and the other that doesn't. Why is it that I suspect that you prefer to interact with the people that disagree with you who you've made it clear you consider to be morons and retards as opposed to those that do agree with you who by your standards must obviously be both a more intelligent and more reasonable crowd. Could it be that the point is not the topic nor is it an honest attempt to try and "educate" us poor morons and retards but your point for participating in a particular thread is more based on the opportunity for confrontation? How fraked up is that?

So tell me I'm wrong and that you aren't actually seeking out confrontation and therefore prefer the company of morons and retards over (arguably) more intelligent folks.

And for a second I thought I finally understood the entirety of at least *one* of your sentences but then comes "chips or not" and again I have no clue what you mean.

One question. Do you have a life outside of forums?

In certain contexts I'll use the word and others like it however *not* on a site that includes numerous 13 year olds. It's just not appropriate.

I can drop an F bomb with the best of them; just ask some of my fellow ToE empire members. But I don't cheapen it by using it every reply. You can generally express the same thoughts and emotions without it.

You on the other hand profess "So much inaccuracy, so little time" as if it's somehow your responsibility to correct all of it and it does appear, to me anyway, that there is no room in your philosophy for anyone that has any belief that you don't share. And yet you then intentionally seek out those that disagree with you apparently just so that you can call them morons because it amuses you.

I'll leave the judgment to the casual observer.

I don't understand your question. My stance on gun control is that everyone of legal age that is minimally competent (i.e. not legally retarded) and of responsible character (i.e. non-felon) that wants to own a gun should be able to do so, in fact I encourage it. Carrying around a concealed weapon I find to be a little more problematic but I can understand the motivation in certain circumstances. Where I would draw the line is in allowing unsupervised 13 year olds to handle loaded automatic weapons at gun shows thereby killing themselves. I also might be a little concerned if my neighbor felt compelled to own an Abrams tank, but I haven't given it all that much thought precisely where I draw the line at a neighborhood arms race.

If someone invades your home or attempts a carjack then most certainly defense of self and more importantly defense of your family is unquestionably a right. Shooting someone in the back on the way *out* your window I have a little more difficulty with but wouldn't really quibble too much about only wounding someone in that circumstance.

Does this somehow answer your question and if so what in god's name does it have to do with my global warming stance?

To aid and abet the threadjacking, I have two comments: 1) psychoak definitely reminded me of Wheel, but his hot language is spiced differently, kind of like comparing a southern Indian curry to a Thai curry. 2) Wrangling with psychoak on a forum seems to be the typed equivalent of making a backyard wrestling ring and playing WWF. It can be good fun as long as you're interested, but it's never going to go anywhere serious, at least in terms of conclusions, consensus, or a league contract.

Hat-tip to M the M for reminding folks there's an OP up there, and especially for sticking that Canadian toe in the door for potential slamming. I'm a 'liberal' Floridian and I often feel like I have more in common with folks in a Montreal surburb than I do with the folks currently sitting in my state legislature. But y'all are basically insane in the end because where you live, water regularly turns solid without any applicances being involved. Ice. Outside. It's just wrong.
