Vote for MineralMan for Senior Class President!

[FSogol]

1. How do you respond to the charges that you are just pandering for votes?

[MineralMan]

3. Screw that! Just vote for me, and you'll get everything

you want, and more! I promise!

[NCTraveler]

2. You have my vote.

Add free ice cream and I will make sure my dog also votes.

[MineralMan]

5. But, what about the lactose intolerant students!

Never mind! Free Ice Cream at the Snack Bar Anytime!

[NCTraveler]

14. I love those feigning ignorance with respect to your post.

Also love how your character is being questioned by a poster who has been know to blatantly lie. Went around last week claiming that Hillary wanted to privatize social security. Truly has me laughing.

PS. My lab partner wants to switch. He says he wants to open up his experimentation with a more diverse group.

[cali]

31. You know what? I read a sentence in an article wrong. Once it was pointed out

to me that I was wrong, I apologized. That simple. And I don't pretend to support HRC and then use that as a platform to attack her. Am I prone to being suspicious of Clinton and not trusting her? Hell, yes, but I don't lie and reading something wrong, is not lying.

That you can't see the difference, is hardly surprising.

[NCTraveler]

35. Not that it was about you, I will follwo up anyway.

Those of use educated in politics, including you, know exactly where she stands on SS. You are being disingenuous. It wasn't the only time you have done so. A track record is building and others have noticed. Things have become transparent.

[MineralMan]

46. The sex ed labs will be free-form.

No permanent partnerships are required, and space will be available for all combinations and groups. Home and off-campus study will also get full credit.

[cali]

4. Is there a point you are trying to make with this op?

Could you let us know what it is? Are you trying to draw a parallel to some current discussion?

[MineralMan]

6. I'm running for Senior Class President.

I don't have time to explain how I'm going to actually do everything to everyone.

Vote for Me!

[cali]

8. As you are not doing that, being as you are in your sixties

and not in high school, and as your post is addressed to those not in high school, that's a rather nonsensical response.

Either you had a point you're making or you don't.

[MineralMan]

19. I see. Well, I guess I can't count on your vote, then.

Remember, though, if you don't vote for me, you won't be in the "in" crowd. If you want to be really popular, though:

Vote for MineralMan!

[cali]

37. I think pretending to support a candidate and using that as a place to attack that

candidate from, is dishonest. I think it gives the lie to all your self-righteous, bullshit claims about not attacking dems and it sure the hell gives the lie to your claim to support Bernie. I think it's petty and ugly and doesn't begin to match with your endless lecturing of DUers. You think Bernie's full of shit? Fine. But lecture about how you're supporting him blah blah blah but don't forget that supporting the eventual nominee is the most important thing blah blah and how we all have to come together. This is nothing but divisive shit.

For a while, I've been going back and forth on you. This OP firmly settles the scales.

I think your history of posting on certain cites and saying horrible things about dems is a reflection on who you really are.

Oh, and the stupid bullshit about the "in crowd"? What adult actually thinks in those puerile terms?

Thanks for so clearly exposing the person under all the self-righteous cant.

[MineralMan]

48. Say! Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Really!

[djean111]

7. I think this is a production of "Hyperbole-R-Us" - it really does work on non-critical thinkers.

Not to mention that Bernie has clearly stated where the money for his plans comes from.

[demmiblue]

12. This.

And the see-through cheerleader thing is kind of creepy, even in jest. Jokes about humiliating/ sexualiizing girls from a grown man is just wrong, imo (even if it is in the 'voice' of a teenager).

[cali]

13. but this couldn't possibly be about mocking Bernie. If it is, it's mocking him in

thoroughly nasty way. The OP has informed us over and over that he supports Sanders and is caucusing for him in the great state of Minnesota. The OP, who stands for all that is right and justice and honest, would never be so duplicitous! Unimaginable.

[djean111]

15. Why, it is almost like someone is not being truthful!

About time it was outed, really.

[deutsey]

23. Or perhaps they're still stuck in high school at some level? n/t

[think]

10. As long as you ignore the principal's extra curricular activities we'll get you elected

And you can keep all the ice cream for yourself!

[MineralMan]

25. You have some dirt on the Principal? Spill it!

He never did like me.

[think]

33. Cmon! The principal loves you! You just need to come in and speak to him. You've got what it takes!

And he'll make sure you are well taken care of when you leave high school.

After all it's only fair.

Did we say ignore the principal's extra curricular activities? Silly us! We misspoke and we were actually trying to say we love your ideas!

All those pesky rumors about the principal are just from jealous teachers that hate edgication. They just want his job!

Well sure he got busted stealing from the orphan's college fund and plead guilty, but that was an honest mistake. He thought it was the petty cash fund. Besides that doesn't involve YOU in anyway.

So don't worry about all those haters and try on this letterman's jacket. You'll look swell in it!

And be careful out there. We'd hate to see you somehow end up under the school bus!

Sincerely,

The school board

[malthaussen]

11. Damn, you stole my platform from when I ran for Student Council!

I didn't get elected.

-- Mal

[NCTraveler]

16. I really don't like the way you are going straight to the people.

You are completely avoiding the school paper.

Have you released your emails about the unfortunate playground incident last month?

[MineralMan]

20. We won't speak of the playground incident. Let's focus on all the

great things I'll do when I'm class President.

[randome]

17. Until you address the chocolate shortage, you will not get my vote. Sorry but I have principles.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]No squirrels were harmed in the making of this post. Yet.[/center][/font][hr]

[MineralMan]

21. Chocolate caused zits. You want zits?

Gobble that chocolate.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

18. A egregiuos and underhanded attack on a good man. I expect better from you and I don't think

this is cute or funny.

SMH.

[JHB]

22. Are you promising handouts to people who just want stuff?

Will you throw in a phone?
----------------

And thanks to MM for reminding us (whether that was his intent or not) how Republicans characterize ALL Democrats (which, for this lesson, includes independents running on a Democratic ticket).

[PowerToThePeople]

24. misogyny contained in op imo.

27. Cheerleaders can be Boys or Girls.

No discrimination at this school.

Girls like sex, too, as I understand, so the labs are for everyone.
Teachers can be men or women. Who need old geezer teachers?

[PowerToThePeople]

32. and ageism. eom

[MineralMan]

36. LOL!

[PowerToThePeople]

38. you are no manny.

Need to try harder imo.

[MineralMan]

41. Thank you for your kind words.

You flatter me. I would never compare myself to someone that way. That would be immodest.

[Bobbie Jo]

45. That's a compliment.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to ascribe to such a thing.

[PowerToThePeople]

47. why, hello to you

[Bobbie Jo]

50. Hello back at ya

[cali]

42. lol. and you edited the leering sexist shit out of the op, because?

yeah, because you got caught with a blatantly sexist comment.

[MineralMan]

43. Uh, no. I added a couple of words,

because some people seem to think that only girls are cheerleaders. Boys can be cheerleaders too. I thought everyone understood that. Why, we've even had a President of the United States who was a cheerleader. A poor President, but a cheerleader, nevertheless.

[SixString]

30. +1

[foo_bar]

26. dupe

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026699786

[MineralMan]

29. No. Trumad is not running for Class President.

We have an agreement on that.

[tkmorris]

28. So this is what you think of Bernie Sanders is it?

Your Class President platform lacks any vestige of class. Leave the petty snarking to others MM.

[cali]

40. but the ever upstanding op has told us over and over that he supports Bernie

something about trousers and flame comes to mind.

[MineralMan]

44. I do support Bernie Sanders.

I just don't think he can do things that Presidents don't have the power to do. If he is elected as President, he'll have to deal with the same constitutional limitations that affect every President.

As I have said numerous times, I will be caucusing for him in Minnesota. I think he would make an outstanding President, but I do not expect any President to be able to act alone, without Congressional action. You appear to be misunderstanding me.

[cali]

49. the contempt you have for him drips from the op. it's that simple and that obvious.

it's a nasty little piece of... work that reads as if it came from someone who strongly opposed him.

You are what you are. Why keep pretending?

[MineralMan]

51. My invitation to you to attend our precinct caucuses still stands.

You'll be a non-voting guest, but you're welcome to observe.

I have zero contempt for Bernie Sanders. My OP has nothing to do with Senator Sanders. He is not the target of my satire in any way.

[foo_bar]

53. wait, it's satire? now I'm all confused.

He is not the target of my satire in any way.

OK.

I ran for class president once.

Meanwhile, back at satire ranch:

North Korean Explosion Not Nuclear (Humor)
Vanity | 10/9/06 | Self

Posted on 9.10.2006 15:51:36 by MineralMan

This Just In:

Nuclear Explosion just Kimchee!

Scientists have determined that no nuclear explosion took place in North Korea yesterday. Instead, it was determined that the explosion that caused the 4.2 seismic event was merely a large batch of buried kimchee that exploded due to an excess of gas.

Kimchee is a highly-seasoned Korean fermented cabbage dish, popular in that country. It is often prepared by burying the pot containing the fermenting in the earth until fermentation reaches the desired level. As with all fermented food items, the fermentation releases carbon dioxide gas. If the container is sealed, an explosion may occur.

UN investigators are checking CO2 levels at this time, to determine whether further global warming may occur due to this large batch of kimchee. They are being thwarted in their investigations, however, due to a foul stench emitted by the fragments of kimchee scattered near the site of the explosion.

TOPICS: Humor
KEYWORDS: kimchee; northkorea; nuclear; satire

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1716208/posts

...could you point out the satirical parts therein? I think in this context you're leading people to believe that you believed global warming was a hoax (aside from this well-mined comic turf of Koreans and Kimchee, pardon me, "satire&quot , or was that a super-secret triple-crossing rat-fuck?

[djean111]

52. Oh, we know a president can't act alone. At this point in time, I want a president who at

least tries, at least PROPOSES what Bernie wants to do. I see Obama can twist arms have have Jamie Dimon whip votes for him, you know.

I am honestly afraid that HRC will be working WITH the GOP Congress, because I believe that, in economic matters, they want a lot of the same things. Friendly to corporations and banks. That sort of thing. Or else, you know - would Congress reallt want to work with Hillary? I think not, unless, like with the TPP, she is pushing something they want and most other Dems do not want.

Anyway, if you think any president will be helpless, why care if it is Bernie? You have been determined to shoot him down, under the laughable guise of being a big supporter. That really isn't playing well anymore.

[tridim]

34. Are you popular?

Because if not, you're going to lose for being so unpopular.

[MineralMan]

39. Well, I have some friends, you know.

They tell me I'm popular. My mom tells me I'm popular, too, so there! I'm sure to win this election.

[MineralMan]

55. I'm sure there will be one, at some point.

I'll let you know when I post it.

[cali]

57. kick. Nasty and mocking. From someone who says he's a Sanders supporter.

Sure you are.

And I have a lovely bridge to sell you.

[AtheistCrusader]

58. jury results. Someone took a swing at you.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
On Wed Jun 3, 2015, 01:54 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

kick. Nasty and mocking. From someone who says he's a Sanders supporter.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6774322

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Kicking up a week old thread to taunt and pick a fight. Yeah, that's disruptive alright.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jun 3, 2015, 02:06 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Cali has a different agenda than the OP, and navigating around and responding to Bernie posts that are not exactly friendly to Nernie is not the usual MO. The usual MO, is to slam Hillary at every turn. Give Cali a break, it's a learning curve.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Meh.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is a disruptive personal attack that adds nothing to civil or productive discussion on DU.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[MineralMan]

59. You're welcome to attend my precinct caucus on March 1

in St. Paul, as a guest. I'll be caucusing for Senator Sanders. I'll send you the place and time information, if you'd like to be there. I'll be supporting Bernie, as I have said several times.

N.B.: I didn't alert on your post. That was someone else.
