are assholes

“Every man-in the development of his own personality-has the right to form his own beliefs and opinions. Hence, suppression of belief, opinion and expression is an affront to the dignity of man, a negation of man’s essential nature.” - Toward a General Theory of the First Amendment, Thomas Emerson




If we don't like it, then all the more reason to tolerate it.

So, does being an asshole entitle me to minority privileges? Is there a genetic link, maybe?

Speaking on the subject of "minority privilages" , I think that mabye you would enjoy the contrast of these two books. They are both great books.
1: GIVE ME LIBERTY! by Gerry Spence
2: THE DEATH OF COMMON SENSE by PHILIP K. HOWARD

I enjoyed them both very much. I suspect that if you read them you will too. But to answer your question, I would have to say the freedom of speech trancends the scope of what type of citizen one happens to be. Even if that type happens to be the poor, unrepresented Asshole.

Hmm...an indefinite pronoun such as that...yes, the verb does not agree with the subject.

<i>Everyone at Sciforums is an assholes.</i>

Yes, that works better.

<i>All at Sciforums are assholes.</i>

That works too.

But I'm not one who would pick apart the grammar of another. Either way, I caught the intention of the original.

However, for such a pithy utterance, I felt that a grammatic correction could only improve the timeless nature of the original post.

Are women ass-holes too?
Just a question.
Nothing else.

Ok Rde, whatever.
I just wanted to know.
I am curious.
;)
I don't care, I like emancipated men.

Oooh Banshee....;)

Is the word <i>jerk</i> gender bias?

Against who?

I for one, am not an "asshole".

Assholes are like opinions everyone's got one. Here at sciforums we have plenty.

I for one am an opinion?:rolleyes:

Hey csreech how ya holding up?

Well, I can have an asshole, but I am not one...
I am so nice, who doesn't like me?
So nice and always friendly, to any one....

;)
Yes Csreech, how are you doing?
Everything a little alright and better?
You are not an asshole too.

You know I hate the word, can't we try another.
This is no fun, this asshole word!
Lets throw it out.

Everybody at Sciforums has an asshole, but doesn't have to be one...
What about that?
No good?
If not, why not?
I bet they call me an asshole again, you watch it...
:p :p

Hi everyone,

I've been off the boards for a few days. I've missed you all.

Does anyone know why Scifred thinks we're assholes?

:)

No, I have no idea why Scifred thinks we are assholes.
He doesn't write back, so we can't ask either.
It is a pity, I am curious why we are assholes.
I am not an asshole, as you could read in the above post.
Nobody calls me that...
Only me, myself.
And I never do.
Neither to you or any other member of the Sci forums.
:p
So come on Scifred, it is time to tell us why we are assholes, except me and Teri and all the other members of the Sci forums...
;)

I'm still looking into the advantages and disadvantages of being an asshole.

Tell me what you come out with please.
I am curious. :p

Hmm...

What does that mean?

Hmmmmmm...
;)
Explain please.
Thank you.

Tell me what you come out with please.

I can only think of two things....in dealing with the subject.

Our thread starter remainds me of another couple of posters. Dead can of peas and another silly alias of his that I can not remember but could search to find. I think you do not hear from the originator because he is a minor with restricted access if I am to guess right.

Anybody got a spare case of toilet paper?

Bowser

There are only advantages to being an asshole. For instance anything you screw up and are held accountable for you can always say " Oh well I'm an asshole." Another advantage, people won't rely on you to do anything. Because they all know your an asshole. Takes a lot of pressure off of us.

Well, we have a nice nonsense topic here again.
Thanks Scifred....
You make us babble like chickens without a head.
You see what you do?
The advantages of being an asshole...
Man, I go, nothing to add to this.
Babbling, babbling, babbling...:D

Babble on, friends, I will be back...!!!

why is it women cant be assholes??? if all the guys are assholes then women better be assholes aswell. this is not right why is it that we have to devide everything into groups????? cant every1 be assholes equaly???

Patman,

Interesting. I always thought assholes were those applying the pressure. You know, dropping turds on others for the greater glory of something rotten. I'm still giving this more thought, however.

Oh yes, but we are over that point already.
Man, get yourself together...
Scifred is probably a little angry with us, people of the Sci forums.
If he should answer us, why he thinks we are assholes, it would explain a lot.
Don't you think?
And for the rest of it... It was only joking, you have to read the threads better if you want to give a good reply. This is already old.
Off course women can be assholes too, what silly question.

But we are no assholes. None of us is an asshole!!!
You understand?
I do hope so.
Have a good time, here at the Sci forums, and open your eyes a little better. It will help, believe me.
This is old, what you quote.
And above all, it was just a joke, so read the posts better, please.
Thank you.
Have fun at the forums.
Bye.;)
