1. Poe's law and paradox
Edited on Sat Dec-26-09 05:30 PM by depakid
Poe's law:

Similar to Murphy's Law, Poe's Law concerns internet debates, particularly regarding religion or politics.

"Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

In other words, No matter how bizzare, outrageous, or just plain idiotic a parody of a Fundamentalist may seem, there will always be someone who cannot tell that it is a parody, having seen similar REAL ideas from real religious/political Fundamentalists.

Poe's Paradox:

In any fundamentalist group where Poe's Law applies, a paradox exists where any new idea (or person) sufficiently fundamentalist to be accepted by the group is likely to be so ridiculous that it risks being rejected as a parody (or parodist).

Conservapedia: "Reasonable Explanations for Atheism - Moral depravity, ... poor relationship with father, ... scientism."

New Conservative member (who honestly believes this): "They could also be demons sent by Satan to try to convert our children so they'll go to hell."

Conservapedia: "You're not funny. Parodies have no place here."

Atheist member: "HAH! Poe's Paradox!"

2. Right Wingers Live a Lie in Order to Deal with Life
They are too narcissistic, cowardly and uncreative to actually earn or produce anything. SIck minds never allow eyes to see properly.

5. The Freepers figure that if they had a Battalion of Republicon Chickenhawks
Edited on Sat Dec-26-09 05:49 PM by SpiralHawk
led by the likes of XCommander AWOL Bush, Dickie 'Five-Military-Deferments' Cheney, Rush DraftDodger Limbaugh, Sean 'Gucci Loafers Deferment' Hannity', Glenn 'Crybaby Deferment' Beck and Bill 'Christmas Grinch Deferment' O'Reilly, they could have Bullshited the NaVi into buying into the anti-life corporate DestructoVision by giving up their sacred ancestral land for a couple of million pieces of paper money.

That's Freeper Republicon Think for you. They worship them their chickenhawk 'leaders' who tell them what to think and what to do.

Ptooey on Republicon Chickenhawkery & lameass film anal ysis.

6. There was a crew here who were bitching about it and that it was owned by FOX.
Sorry purists who would boycott that...I went and saw it in 3D IMAX and dare say it was utterly awesome effects.

Politics aside it was a good movie. Of course I know folks here who cannot watch a movie for the sake of watching a movie without bringing in politics.

7. Interesting reaction
given that the "media" responsible for producing Avatar is run by "America-hating communist" Rupert Murdoch.
