Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

Don't act stupid, like you don't know the difference between attempts to BS and satire. Oh, wait, I'm not sure you do know the difference.

Apparently you don't know the difference.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

So Trump's national security advisor pick, Gen. Flynn, tweeted about this fake story days before the election:


Following the shooting in the pizza joint, his son (who was his father's Chief of Staff, and appears to have gotten a position within the Trump admin-to-be) tweeted this gem:


Is there any accountability for spreading this BS?

Trump is really surrounding himself with the best people.

"Go yell at an M&M"

What? I'm confused. Help me here???

That's either a worrying level of cynicism or a worrying lack of critical thinking skills.

For your own mental health I strongly encourage you to unplug your tv and refrain from reading any news for the next 4 to 8 years.

I'm worried about you.

Was it reckless and intentional? Was it mere opinion? Was it a mistake?

It would be civil not criminal

Why would you advice such a thing? Seeing Kleenex go nuts is part of the reason that Trump's election was worth it. I mean, between him and Slowguy going bonkers over every little thing trump does, it will be fun for at least a year or two before things really do need to be scrutinized.

"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

I'm fine, as long as I remember to ignore trolls like you.

Has sense of humor + disagrees with Kleenex = troll.

I kind of feel sorry for you.

So walking into a pizza joint and firing a rifle isn't "doing something awful based on fake news?"

I don't think the fake news amounted to yelling fire in a theater. Do you?

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

with handy quick draw tape measure

I gave a non-serious, satirical reply to Kiki's "fake news" post. In the process I cited the most famous example of fake news, which also happens to non-serious and satirical (played in dead-pan fashion).

Kleenex then (quoting that post) attempted to insult my intelligence claiming I didn't understand satire.

I let you figure out the rest.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

This is the left's latest attempt to clamp down on free speech.

What's funny is the apparent lack of self reflection/denial/failure to see the irony when they decry "fake news" then cite CNN, NYT, etc.

EVERYONE who has a mind that is open, even if barely a crack, can see that "mainstream media" is full of fake news.

Rolling Stone Magazine just lost a lawsuit over a fake story and then has the balls (or lack of self awareness) to publish a story lamenting "fake news."

No idea. I was referencing this:

OK. I'm asking, in the context of this thread, if you think that amounts to yelling fire in a crowded theater. In your opinion, does this kind of incident justify limiting first amendment rights to free speech?

No.

The guy from the OP that went armed into the pizza joint based on the pizzagate conspiracy theory has been sentenced to 4 years in prison.

We have millions of people who believe a supernatural being spoke to some random dude in Massachusetts through magic stones. We have millions of people who believe a supernatural entity created the world a mere 6000 years ago. We have millions of people who believe a guy in the middle east was the son of a supernatural deity, allowed himself to be tortured and killed, then was resurrected from the dead and plans to return to take all his believers to some other worldly place.

Do we consider all these people who follow religion to be just dumb or do we think they are mentally ill or some combination?
