Vrede Lexicon

[Ombudsman]

Since Vrede likes to subjectively define words I thought this might be helpful for the newbies:

Vrede Lexicon

Running Away - Refusing to accept Vrede's illogical assumptions as fact.
Deceptive Editing - Removing Vrede's insults from the quote so as to address the relevant material
Wus - Projected ad hominem Vrede uses when she's had her ass handed to her.
Busted - Word Vrede uses when she's been caught lying and wants to hide her backpedaling.
Metadata - To Vrede means the same as content.
Lie - Any fact Vrede refuses to accept.
Rich Fantasy Life - Vrede's synonym for reality
Stalinist - Vrede's cowardly version of Godwin's Law
Screw up - What Vrede calls it when she can't follow a logical argument

Happy Fourth of July!

I check in after several hours and there are five unread threads. Of the five, four are ongoing pissing contests between Vrede and Ombudsman. On the other Ombudsman is replying to himself. How enlightening!

verde may be hard headed and sometimes sees just a tad too black and white, but everything you said is bullshit. now run away wiggley wus, go back to the free market childhood fantasy utopia, your deceptive editing has been busted again as a lie due to your lacking any amount of evidentiary date

[billy.pilgrim]

Whoa, thanks! To be honest I wasn't sure whose side I'd be reading that you'd come down on. My bad.

to my knowledge we have had only one disagreement. I did finally give up trying to get you to accept that historical context cannot be overlooked when judging the past. - what would KV say

What free market utopia? Where does this exist?

Might be more for all I can remember. I don't know if you've had any with Ombudsman until now. Thanks again.

I did finally give up trying to get you to accept that historical context cannot be overlooked when judging the past.

Wasn't it over whether explanations equaled excuses? Ut-oh, is that 2 disagreements?

- what would KV say

"KV"?

Doh! I even badgered you into choosing it, didn't I?

not choosing, just return to.

I have always used some Vonnegut reference for all of my various posting names and have used several of KT's self portraits for my avatar over the years. the gorilla flippin the bird seemed to (as you pointed out) add a certain amount of tension to my otherwise civil comments, but at least he got a comment - no one said anything about the American Flag rolling paper from the dueling 1971 July 4 event at the washington mall - Nixon's bused in crowd for Honor America Day same time same place as a couple hundred thousand stoned hippies at the First Annual Smoke In - along with a whole bunch of cops


“Poo-tee-weet?

[billy.pilgrim]

It was hyperbole, all I did was make a request about one pic I didn't want to keep looking at.

but he was such a cute gorilla

Vrede Responds to History

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal"

Vrede: Misogynist jerk! So the women aren't equal? What about trannies and hermaphrodites?

"The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself”

Vrede: Total BS. There are lots of things to fear. Like spiders and snakes and the crabs!

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, "

Vrede: What about the slaves? They didn't have liberty so I guess that must make you a liar.

"Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy..."

Vrede: Hey dummy, it's 2013!

"We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex."

Vrede: You're the commander in chief, hypocrite!

"That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,”

Vrede: You have a rich fantasy life.

"There you go again"

Vrede, Oh sure run away from your last flub Ronnie.

"Give me liberty or give me death."

Vrede: Stalinist!

[Ombudsman]

LOL -Wow that was easy.

[O Really]

Some interesting comments, but no really new topics. Some are still hiding from black helicopters; Mr.B has smartphone angst; Roland is still trying to make allowing guns in bars seem rational; Some LEO's are still misbehaving; Republicans are still in charge and doing stupid things; Martin is still dead and Zimmerman is loose and some find that to be OK.

Did you make it to the Asheville "Moral Monday"?
