The Cranberries prior posting about the gal singer who assaulted the flight attendant and cop was the last stupid straw about posting about guilt based on looks. (Note I am not a big Cranberries fan, I have no dog in this particular hunt - it's just an example.)
I am not against posts that discuss a person's looks per se. Particularly if it factors into the issue being discussed. If it's relevant, it's relevant.
What I am objecting to are the stupid inane posts that add nothing of value to the thread and detract from the reputation of this site as being a far better place than any liberal discussion site out there.
I am just so flipping tired of idiots claiming to be conservatives posting comments of absolutely zero value about the guilt or innocence of - almost always - a female person, based solely on her looks.
It's stupid. After being done a billion times, it's not even funny. Why so-called conservatives here think this is appropriate every time a female is in a news story that has potential criminal/illegal actions, what it really is is just tiresome. It adds nothing substantive to the thread. It makes the image of this place look crass.
And it makes light of actual crimes committed by people based on if they have breasts and vaginas. And it's entirely one way. Note we do not have thousands of post replies over the years discussing the guilt or innocence of male criminals based on how good looking they are. The female conservatives here (and the pervy guys who post all the time about females) have somehow restrained themselves from any posts of this kind, yet they cannot help themselves to go this way when there's a legal controversy with a female. Then it's find a photo, and let the idiotic guilt or innocence comment postings commence.
Can we just try to keep it classy here? Do we always have to devolve to appeal to the lowest common denominator of gutter humor here when women make the news for bad behavior/crimes? Don;t we have better standards as conservatives? Having a sense of humor is important, but why is it funny that a woman is innocent or guilty because of her looks? What makes this funny? Because ugly women deserve to be locked up? Because hot women can always get out of crimes or bad behavior and ugly women can't? This is the funny stereotype these comments are playing off of?
And when the crimes are sexual crimes, as they often are, in the articles these comments surface in, why should this be made fun of? Because there aren't any negative consequences that occur to a young boy or girl when an adult female decides to satisfy their sexual urges with usually an underage boy or girl? The same stuff isn't treated lightly or humorously when an adult male does it, in fact death threat statements and the like are posted. But it's all fun and games and smart-ass humor when a woman does it.
What makes it wrong is conservatives ought to know better. They do know that there are negative consequences to teens who have sex with adults, BOTH men and women. It's not victimless only if a woman does it. It screws up their viewpoint of sex and male-female relationships. In both cases these posters KNOW that it's wrong to have an adult authority figure having sex with kids they are in positions of overseeing. It's wrong for male and female adults to look at students as potential personal sexual conquests.
This is sick behavior for a site supposedly made up of conservatives.
Think about when I get pinged to a thread. People who ping me get carpal tunnel.
And no more references to any of the following movies:
Blazing Saddles (or any Mel Brooks movie)
Animal House
Airplane!
Month Python and the Holy Grail
Here on FR the accepted term is "Stick Bundler."
She is?
Catherine, let's get married!

What do they have against English cuisine?
Yer in luck. “A”s are on sale today for only tree fiddy. We can break that up into payments if you like.
FAGGOT is a lot more accurately descriptive than gay. Wouldn’t be that the word FAGGOT grinds you on a personal level?
This is sick behavior for a site supposedly made up of conservatives.

You should’ve known some of us before we became far rightwing Tea Party terrorist hardcore conservatives like Obama and the liberals warned you about!!! Now we are accused of judging, even terrorizing, women based on their looks. This is huge and series.
Let it be known we weren’t born this way. It took dedication, concentration, and a lifetime of experience to formulate a proper response to the confused and delicate minds of our liberal counterparts over at the Democratic Underground.
Ever now and then we tend to regress and utilize humor, sarcasm, or other forms of “sick behavior” in order to convey that response. We promise to try harder in the future to restrain our responses and act in the proper manner expected by our fellow conservatives.
While I don’t condone verbal abuse, it is sometimes unavoidable. Some things are just too funny or weird to warrant any other kind of response. Other times the truth hurts and a little humor, like medicine, makes the pain go away.

I accept. However, I am already married, so this will necessitate a move to Utah. Also, I need to find a nice pioneer dress for the ceremony.
“Pork faggots” sounds like a command, not a product.
Heck Laz, I was considering asking that exact thing, but I don’t think the wife would approve.
Oh, dear...you’ve done it now...
Actually, I am at the maximum field length now or I would have done exactly that.
Secret agent man or PC Stormtrooper. Which is it?
Utah! Where "the more, the merrier" includes marriage!
Rhetorical question?
