I honestly don't see how it's that different than doctors dressing up as bloody fetuses, either. Abortions aren't necessarily bad, but mocking it by dressing up as bloody fetuses would be very evil. Even if I think abortion should be legal, I find it disturbing that people treat fetuses with such a lack of respect. I've believe they're humans at a different stage of human life. Doesn't give them the right to life, but good god, why must people act like they're found in litter boxes? Also, I'm not a mod so it's none of my business who is banned/suspended whatever, but I don't think Aboveathletics really acted worse than anyone else here. People here, and I'm not just talking mods, like to play favorites. You just earned your own F&B thread fstdt.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fb&action=display&thread=10210 |

I could make an argument that Halloween isn't an appropriate time for satire and politics. Seriously? Everything gets politicised these days. Everything. It's one of our age's little cultural obsessions. |

ugh the fuck? I really, seriously hope they all lose there own homes. Just so they know what it feels like, since it's all just a big joke to them. It feels horrible by the way.

I don't think AA was actually trying to piss people off. |

The first thing he did when he came back was to talk about our "adherence to government authority like God" or what the fuck ever because we weren't all shitting ourselves about how evil face recognition software is. Srsly.
He said he came back JUST to say this & said, or at least implied, that he'd be leaving.
He then made at least 2 admissions of trolling.
And this is all what I'm aware of. So can we please stop acting like AA was just tragically misunderstood, & get back to the topic?

Is being openly callous towards poor a new fad among US rich? It's a reaction to the proletariat, once again, rising against the oppressing bourgeoisie. The same reaction they've always had. It's just that with the media and the internet, everything is amplified by 100x. |

Are we the only ones calling them out for this? Or were there people at the party who thought this was bad taste as well? I don't want to think that they're all apathetic drones.

The article itself says some thought it was in bad taste.
But they didn't speak up vehemently because the majority would have shut them down.

I think a serious egging is in order. Why waste good eggs... use howitzer rounds instead But aren't they more expensive... and the collateral damage could hurt people down below who are just walking by and or egging the building |
