Marion: “Marion doesn’t understand”. “Marion’s a retard”.

Congratulations, Marion. We now agree on something. In an earlier post I suggested that this was unlikely. I stand corrected.

Marion: “Hell, Marion, you’re so full of crap that if you gave yourself an enema, what’s left would fit inside a match box.”

If you toned down some of the venom, you might actually be debatable. Please don’t confuse that with datable.

Venom? That’s not venom, Marion. That’s called humor. And it’s at your expense. It only seems like venom to you because you’re on the receiving end. Trust me, the other three people still following this thread laughed. At you.

Now, among all of the ridiculous assertions you’ve made in this thread, the following stands out as the most ridiculous. (And as such is probably deserving of some award.):

Marion: I could easily give them [modern conveniences] up, if I lived in an environment that didn’t necessitate the use of them. If I didn’t need a car to get to my current job, or the grocery store, etc. What’s so hard about not driving a car, Dave, when you have what you need around you?

Marion, what planet do you live on? I’m on Planet Earth. Here on Planet Earth there are many semi-agrarian communities that live a life very similar to the one you profess to want to live. Here in the United States, an entire subculture of (non-religious) agrarian-minded folks live the “simple life” beside and among the Amish and Mennonites in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There are other – albeit small – communities like this in other parts of the U.S. and across the world. So, your assertion that “I can’t live the environmentally-friendly life that I want to because the modern world just makes it so impossible” is 100% COMPLETE BULLSHIT. You CHOOSE to live like you do. Plain and simple. So your attempt at rationalizing the gulf that exists between the way you ACTUALLY live your life and the manner in which you want others to PERCEIVE the way you live your life is, well, pathetic. You’re a hypocrite and a fraud. Now, the good news is that you can remedy this. You can (a) admit that living the life you pretend to want to live is just too damn hard and inconvenient, and your environmental leanings are pure show, or (b) you can send us a postcard from Lancaster County after you’ve set up house. Pick one.

Regarding your pro-human/pro-dave Yankees/Rivera baloney, I’ll use an analogy that even you can understand. I want the Yankees to have a bad season this year. I want Mariano Rivera to go to the Hall of Fame. Anti-Yankess/Pro-Rivera. See how that works? It’s not that complicated. Well, except for you apparently.

As to all of these other nitpicking issues, Marion… just believe what you want. If the only way you can get to sleep at night is to believe that you’re the most logical, most “decent” person on earth and the greatest internet debater of your generation, then by all means do so. Personally, I’m beginning to wonder whether you’re functionally retarded. But I don’t think that’s the case as you have managed to put words into sentences, and sentences into paragraphs. They don’t make much sense, mind you. But, hey… it’s something, right?

Now, I’m late for my self loathing. I haven’t hated myself one time yet today! What’s wrong with me?!?! Well at least I still have the rest of the day to utterly despise myself. Thank goodness for small favors!

Marion, do you have rocks in your head? Seriously.

Marion: “You’re just here to observe??” Dave do you know how weird that sounds? You sound like a freakin’ lunatic. Considering Silo’s post, I would agree that it’s a loathing of humanity, but also, and most importantly, born out of a loathing of oneself. Are you aware that if you’re not pro-human, you can’t be pro-Dave?

Weird? Lunatic? I prefer “eccentric” but use whatever adjective makes you feel better about yourself. That you think I’m a lunatic is actually comforting. I’d probably shoot myself in the head if I discovered my thinking resembled yours on anything meaningful. Self loathing of oneself? You cannot be serious. Ok, fess up, Marion. Did this come from Oprah or one of your self-help books? Your attempts at psychoanalysis are pitiful and obvious. If I’m not pro-human, I can’t be pro-Dave? What? You’re… just… uggh… Look, I hate the Yankees but like Mariano Rivera. I can root for the Yankees demise and still root for Rivera’s success. They’re not mutually exclusive. Catch the analogy? There are plenty of “critical thinking” classes that are available at the community college level.

Marion: I would say that any destruction of the planet has more to do with the industrialization of the planet, than the fact that human beings inhabit the planet. That can be contributed to the greed and outlook of SOME of us humans that inhabit it. We don’t need space shuttles, cars, guns, plastic bags, nuclear weapons, aresol sprays, etc that deplete our earth of its natural resources and f*ck up our ecosystem. …We don’t need all these toys. The best things in life are natural and free. A roof over our head to raise our children and to make love and make more children if we want, enriched soil to grow our own food, unpoluted water to drink, bathe and wash clothes. We don’t have to kill and eat animals if we don’t want to… Thus the destruction of the planet comes not from the fact that we are here, it’s how we behave while we are here.

First of all, it’s not “contributed,” but rather “attributed.” Having said that…

I agree with your last sentence because it’s stating the obvious. Here are my questions to you, Marion, since you’re obviously a dedicated environmentalist: We don’t need cars, huh? Ok. Do you drive a car? We don’t need plastic bags, huh? Do you use plastic bags? We don’t need toys, huh? Do you have anything that would be considered a toy? All we need is a roof over our head and clean water and soil for food, huh? That sounds awesome, Marion. If you truly believe all of this stuff, then you should be living out in Ted Kaczynski’s shack. It’s available and it’s perfect for your professed beliefs. But, you see, that’s all BS. Because you drive a car, use plastic bags, have toys and live in the suburbs, with all that implies. Why? Because you don’t have any intention of giving up the conveniences of modern life to live the life that you described above. You’re a complete hypocrite. All hat and no cattle. Hell, Marion, you’re so full of crap that if you gave yourself an enema, what’s left would fit inside a match box.

Regarding my comments on two parent vs. one parent households, you said, “If you feel this way, I feel sorry for you.” Earth to Marion. I was just reporting what I’ve read on the subject. There’s no opinion on my part on that subject. I don’t “feel” any way on the issue. I thought that was obvious, but I should have made that clearer for folks like you that are a little slow on the uptake.

[As to your procreation comments… it’s too philosophical and would confuse you. Believe whatever you want. Frankly, I don’t have the time or the patience.]

It’s a gorgeous day. Even by San Diego standards. So I’m off to the beach… but not until after I’ve engaged in some self loathing. Anyone know where I can buy some of those cat-o-nine-tails for some self-flagellation? Bwahahahaha…
