When it's nothing more than unwarranted posturing? You're goddamned right, "Sanchez."
To top it off, we've got seanrobertson talking about the good old days.
I was being sarcastic
The laws of the land haven't gone lax where actually supporting your contentions are concerned. Your zeal to talk tough about a couple of fucking
children and an
infant don't excuse you from that, nor is the site's credo or your Miss Manners whining any kind of defense.
I could understand the outrage if this were a serious issue, but considering it's two idiot teenagers who've been callously used by the GOP as shining examples of family values...
I see. It's "fluff," so it's okay to ... how did you put it? Interject "personal opinions without substantiation"?
Cute.
OK, let's substantiate the name calling:
1. Cheap - according to
Huffington Post, Levi Johnston is an unemployed baby daddy. At the time when he knocked Bristol Palin up, he was a high school hockey player, with minimal future prospects as he wasn't even a particularly good hockey player. Considering that Bristol got knocked up by the Alaskan equivalent of trailer trash, I think the cheap adjective is appropriate, as she probably could have done better than a white trash, unemployed meathead.
You're veering close to a red herring now. You called
Bristol cheap (" ... just a cheap, stupid whore"), not Levi. Do his "minimal future prospects" (guess he's not going for higher education) just ...
rub off on her? She's cheap because she deigned to carry on with a kid from the wrong side of the tracks?
Incidentally, are you fucking kidding me? You're seriously citing the fact that the boy's in high school to demonstrate that he's not packing serious ducats?!
2. Stupid - In
this interview, Bristol doesn't exactly come across as particularly bright, worldly, or forward thinking. She sounds like a naive, ignorant, [GASP] stupid girl, who wasn't thinking beyond the next party or when she'd get to fuck her meathead boyfriend next. I don't have access to an IQ test, but I suspect based on her performance in this video she's not exactly the brightest bulb. Therefore Bristol Palin = stupid.
Brilliant. A teenage girl comes off bad in one interview; therefore, she must be stupid.
You are familiar with the false dilemma, are you not?
3. Whore - Perhaps the least accurate adjective (I'm not claiming she's fucked large numbers of men or taken money in exchange for sex), I'm using the term in a more general sense, that males and females who have sex without considering the consequence are whores. I could have just as easily called Levi Johnston a whore, but I liked the terms "meathead" and "white trash" better.
There you go, proof that Bristol Palin is a cheap, stupid whore.
Shit argument. The girl's a whore based on the world's most highly-generalized definition of the word -- one which I've yet to find in any dictionary, I might add?
I'm not going to apologize or refrain from referring to them as such, and I don't really give a shit at the "disgust" or appeals to the good old days when personal opinions required substantiation.
"Opinions" have
always required some reasoning here. Why you think the teenaged Palin and her "bastard" child are a free-for-all for all manner of unsupported vitriol is no exception.
Considering the faux outrage and unnecessary drama being peddled because of my reference to Bristol and Levi as, respectively, "cheap, stupid whore" and "white trash meathead," and unless there's really something to be gained by the drama over these two idiots and their respective idiot families, perhaps the mods should consider simply locking the thread.
In other words, you were waving your dick around in little more than a "look at me, I hate the GOP too!" post, and now you want to run away when called on it.
Gotcha.
But before you sign off, let me interject this: except from the rather casual way in which you called this little girl a "whore," I'd no real problem with your first few posts nor the OP -- aside from "white trash," which is on a rough par with ethnic slurs in my part of the U.S.
What I don't like is this obvious -- and clearly very emotionally-charged -- disregard for good taste
and the site's rules whenever a Palin or ilk are mentioned. We might pride ourselves on focusing on substance over style; and yeah, of course we're going to mock stupidity/stupid people.
The trouble is, posters like you get so hung up on the latter, you seem to forget that this isn't an anti-GOP free-for-all. You call a 17-year-old -- truly, a CHILD -- a "whore," and you can bet your ass people will want to know why.
Perhaps you aren't ordinarily like this; if that's the case, I apologize for the generalization. You might be a great guy and we'd hit it off in-person. But for the little it's worth to you, that's my rule of thumb when it comes to "mockery of stupid people": I don't say anything here, about anyone, that I would not say to their face.
... and as poorly as I regard the Palins (well, aside from Sarah's legs) in any number of measures, I wouldn't see any reason to call a little kid like Bristol a cheap, stupid whore were we to meet face-to-face.
