I really don't know how I manage it sometimes. I seem to be attracting a lot of these American Conservative types through no fault of my own.
For instance I like to play this game on my iPhone called Undead Live! You basically undertake quests or attack other players to gain gold so you can buy more property and better weapons, you know the type. Anyhow, I attack this guy called ObamaSucks, in fact I pwned him, I nicked over a billion gold off him and lo and behold I get a message from him later in the day saying that I was a bastard. So I replied...
KingOfAnkh: Thanks for all the gold sucker! I'm just glad I got a chance to irk a Republican idiot like yourself.
Then ensues this little diatribe, all spelling mistakes are his.
ObamaSucks: Its an iPhone game I am not going to lose sleep over it I still have more money then you will ever dream of making in real life
ObamaSucks: I'm a libertain by the way your the one that supports Obama so who is the idiot look at the facts boy
ObamaSucks: You know what irks me dumbass uninformed bleeding heart liberials that get there political info from MSNBC or MTV hitler was a socialist to
So I had to reply out of common decency:
KingOfAnkh: Get your facts right. Hitler was a National Socialist, a right-wing party, but I didn't expect a Libertarian knobtard to know that.
So far this is as far as it has got, I might get more, who knows, if I do I'll share them in the comments.
But what I really would like to know is, are all Republicans/Libertarians absolute idiots? Have they ever attended school?
It seems none of them can spell and they have a terrible time stringing a sentence together properly; they also only have a passing grasp of political history.
You can tell they know that there was a naughty man called Hitler around some time in the past as they keep bringing him up in online debates, but they have absolutely no idea what the man stood for and which side of the fence he leant towards. They all seem to think he was a Liberal???
Surely the American schooling system is better than this!
I had to learn English as a second language and as you can see my spelling and grammar isn't perfect, but one can assume that a the majority of these right-wingers, or should I say whingers, are native speakers of English and yet they have trouble knowing the differences between 'there', 'their' and 'they're'. Something I was taught at elementary level.
They seem to delude themselves and ignore historical facts to make their extremist views more acceptable, thus lying to themselves and to others. Then what happens? When people point out they are wrong they simply stick their fingers in their ears and chant 'la, la, la' until the issue goes away or retort to name-calling as they know they're in the wrong.
I have seen better behaviour from five year old children, in fact I know a five year old who is more intelligent than most of these guys.
Another thing that gets to me is how they are blaming Obama for spending trillions of dollars on saving the economy when the ball was dropped during the Bush administration. It's almost like suing a doctor for saving your life.
I wish they'd all go back to school to learn about common sense, something I see less and less of each day.

Did he mean "libertarian" or "libertine"? I'm guessing it's "libertarian", as I don't expect these morons can get laid any better than they can spell.
Truly - they have redefined and re-spelled almost the entire English language.
That poster sounds exactly like Ken.
In other news, Ken was just responding to a comment about "innocent until proven guilty" - he called the concept a bunch of "pc crap".
Ah but dude there are people like this all over the World, sometimes politics doesn't even enter into the equation. Often it's easier to grasp onto a belief, whether it is an ill concieved belief, because reality can often be too hard to deal with. It's only when concentrated numbers of these people gather that we need to be worried. So to preach to the converted I'd like to offer a quote:
"I know that we shall meet problems along the way, but I'd rather see for myself what's going on in the world outside, than rely on newspapers, television, politicians and religious leaders to tell me what I should be thinking."

It also supports the case for assisted suicide, if you get my meaning? Oh I'm so evil. I feel the need for an evil but over the top maniacal laugh!
I just don't like to see people misinformed
hhahahahhahaha but m'dear, that IS encouragement to THEM lol feck just REPLYING in general is to encourage hahahahaha x
King - heard an interview with the author today on NPR - he was brilliant. Totally reminded me of what's going on with the conservatives on Vox.
I feel the need to offer a little more, the US did enter the war after the attack on Pearl Harbour but still at that time looked at what was happening in Europe as the War in Europe. At this point the US had not declared war on Germany; in fact Germany declared war on America in the end. Previous to that though in 1940 the Lend-Lease act was passed in America allowing them to direct aid to whomever they saw fit, it just so happened that it was the UK and France that most of their aid was directed. By the end of the war it totalled around 42 billion dollars, a huge sum of money even more so when you consider it was 64 years ago.
So for over a year before America’s official entry into WWII they had been providing assistance with ‘favourable’ trade terms for the UK and actively not supplying the two Axis of power. Shipments of arms and aid were being escorted by American warships across the Atlantic before they joined the war in Europe. You could say their choice had already been made.
Pearl Harbour bought the Americans officially into the war but attacks on US ships in the Atlantic by German warships plus the fact that Germany declared war on America shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbour is most likely what bought America into the war in Europe.
So though I hold the belief that the UK would still have managed to be victorious, whether by the standard of the day, a shooting war, or by guerrilla tactics had the UK been invaded by the Nazis. The fact does remain that the UK and many other European countries would have done it a lot harder had America not been helping, if not officially involved until 1941 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbour.
