Imagine what these satan-led assholes would do if we took away their degenerate music or cracked down extremely hard on drug use. They'd scream and cry (and smoke up) because they felt as though their own freedoms of choice had been taken away from them, all the while demonizing others for driving SUVs just because they use slightly more gasoline than their own cars. And you're right--if you handed any of them the keys to an Escalade or Suburban they'd be so happy they'd forget to take their Ritalin for at least a day or two until mommy put them in time-out. Basically, they've been raised by people who were willingly brainwashed by the leftist media of the 60s and 70s, and were never taught anything about morals or the genius of capitalism. Chances are they were never spanked for anything, mommy asked them to behave instead of demanding it, and daddy worked too much and spent too much time with his new wife to pay any attention to them. They hate America, SUVs, the Right and Christianity because they hate themselves, and they're too fucking stupid to ever learn how to behave as good people or proper citizens. All we can hope for is that they all contract herpes or another STD during their "sexual experimentation" years and render themselves incapable of reproducing, or O.D. on extasy.
Okay school is in session, time for a few lessons:

1. Ad homs (insults) are not real arguments and spewing them only makes you look foolish. Specifically the phrases of "satan-led assholes", "They hate America, SUVs, the Right and Christianity ... they're too fucking stupid to ever learn how to behave as good people or proper citizens" and "they'd forget to take their Ritalin for at least a day or two until mommy put them in time-out" make you look like a raving loonie and people will automatically discount anything of value you might have to say.

2. When ranting have a specific focus, you ranted against the media of the 60's and 70's, music, drugs, sex, satan, non-capitalists, psychology and STD. This makes you look like someone ranting with no purpose, people will discount your valid arguments when things are presented this way.

3. Try to use either warrants (logic) or sources in an argument otherwise the entire basis for your argument is worth nothing.

*bell rings* okay school is out for the day.
