Why should humans deserve care and respect? Upon what do they base this? Did they say?
Punishment as a form of justice leads to abuse.”
*****
Punishment isn’t a form of justice. Punishment is meted out as a result of the administration of justice. And without the proper administration of justice there is no check on those who would abuse their fellow man.
Well, hey there!
NICE to see you again, too.
Just an FYI these guys have been caught baiting FR in the past. The name refers to their ironically titled forum:
http://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=201
My advise is to ignore them, they are mostly idle bored children.
I’m sorry that I missed seeing you and your family at AnimeCentral. Please let me know which conventions you attend and I’ll tell you if I’m going to be at any of them.
As for the LFWiki guys: most of them are actually all right. A lot of them are Goons, i.e. members of the Something Awful web community, which is one of those online humor sites that spares no one ridicule. With this in mind, I try not to take their criticisms too seriously. I mean, many of my harshest critics are just naïve kids — young, idealistic liberals who have their hearts in the right places. In other words, they’re basically good people with some mistaken ideas — a situation with which I can sympathize. Believe or not, I was once a young liberal firebrand myself!
The criticism itself is no problem for me. Over the course of my twenty-plus years as a professional artist and writer, my ego has been stomped upon so many times that I’m used to the feeling!
Besides, being in the public eye (even at the very low level that I inhabit) means exposing yourself and your opinions to whatever the world throws at you. Being publicly honest about one’s opinions means becoming a target — and being a traditionalist Catholic and a monarchist is like painting a bullseye on your forehead! If I were not comfortable with this action-consequence relationship, I’d just keep my opinions to myself. I enjoy posting my inflammatory views in these public fora, and in return I accept the risk that every now and then people are going to make fun of me (or even hate me) because of my political opinions and/or religious beliefs.
(Surprisingly, when it comes to my politics, I get far more grief from other Freepers than I do from the S.A. Goons!)
In short: it’s a free country, and people have the right to say what they like about me (within the limits of law) in public. I’d never want to see that right infringed upon, even if it means I myself become the subject of occasional (non-libelous) ridicule. As long as my critics keep it legal, I’ll accept whatever abuse they dish out. It’s really just that simple.
In a nutshell.
They are so full of sh*t. I didn’t “create” that picture. It was all over the internet. I just snagged it. I don’t know what picture they are talking about where they said some Freeper photo shopped one of the kids butts, but I can tell you there is a photo where MO and the kids were watching the arrival of the WH Christmas tree and anyone but a blind person could not see that the older girl has an enormous booty just like her elephant as*sed mom.
But try not to hold that against them. Our culture since the “enlightenment” has been based upon self-worship. Can you blame them for not loving God? Liberty is a jealous goddess.
As Jake Blues would say: “Its time to bring the band back together”.
For the little anti God, pimple faced, basement dweller...if they think that photo of the kids butt is photo shopped they better contact these sites:

NOT PHOTO SHOPPED you imbecile, sorry if she inherited mama’s assets. Don’t go screaming photo shopped until you check your facts you moron!

Fascism just means something that’s not liked.
Don’t let them get to you, big fella. It’s just the Internet.
I think it’s hilarious! When you’re takin’ flack, you know you’re over the target. Hey, we are famous in the basement dwellers eyes. Cool! I’ll have to find lots more pictures for him.

This is a lie and the basement dweller is an idiot. He can’t tell it was not him that posted it? He must have an IQ of 50, or maybe not. Probably lower and he spends his life on Fr, he must like us. :P
They're not worth my time.
They're not worth my time.
A mass is a tumor; a tumor is a cancer; a cancer must be eradicated: perfectly in line with their aims through "climate conferences", "health care" legislation, environmental legislation, and other 'initiatives' that they espouse.
