Practical Lawful Dissent FMOTL antics, continued...

[longdog]

I've been thrown out of both factions' Facebook groups without my consent. Lazarus Loonspud threw me out of the Phoenix affiliated group in spite of my putting the admins on notice of their treason and The Lioness booted me for cheating... I used evidence, facts and reality.

I got my revenge on The Lioness by booting her out of another group. Childish but entertaining

Using "evidence, facts and reality" just isn't done, shame on you. Next thing you'll be expecting them to follow reason and logic.

If they were capable of doing that they would never have thought they could avoid paying council tax, speeding fines and parking tickets by invoking a 800 year old peace treaty (which failed abysmally) between squabbling Frenchmen in the first place.

I don't expect any of the die-hard freetards will do anything but carry on living in their world where magical thinking and wanting to have their own way is more important than reality. But it might make somebody looking into it think again.

And anyway... It's fun winding them up.

[notorial dissent]

All too true, but if they're going to provide easy soft targets, well it is one them.

[grixit]

Just love schisms and heretics, pure comedy gold.

There's a story that in the Great Schism, the pope's emissary rode a horse into Hagia Sophia all the way up to the altar to deliver the notice excommunicating the patriarch. Anything less is just posturing.

My late go to internet insult is

I know its not fair, Cupcake.

My favourite at the moment is "Listening to you talk about <insert subject they know nothing about here> is like listening to Jade Goody talk about quantum physics".

(Note for colonials: Jade Goody was a reality TV "star" famous almost entirely for being quite spectacularly stupid, ill-educated and racist).

True. But in retrospect it was akin to kicking a puppy. It's not the puppy's fault for shitting on the carpet.

Reminds me of the late great Bill Hicks' 'Looks like we got a reader here' sketch:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwkdGr9JYmE

“I was in Nashville, Tennessee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: 'Hey, whatcha readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fuckin' question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading FOR? Well, goddamnit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well . . . hmmm...I dunno...I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress.”

I always love the "you think you're intelligent just because you know big words" argument.

My response is usually along the lines of "My vocabulary consists not just of "big words" but it is, in truth, a lexicon that is polysyllabic if not positively sesquipedalian. I always endeavour to eschew obfuscation however."

As well as not having to sound them out and comprehending them on the first go.

I suspect most if not all of the people who accuse you of the above would have to look up sesquipedalian.
(getting further off topic - a soviet Russia joke - Why do the police go round in threes? One can read, one can write and the third is need to keep an eye on the other two dangerous intellectuals.)

[JohnPCapitalist]

Given their penchant for accepting just about any random conspiracy theory, I wonder if the PLD crew's heads are in danger of exploding if they read about this court case.

A man tried to steal a copy of the Magna Carta from Salisbury Cathedral using a hammer because he "doubted its authenticity", a court heard.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-w ... e-51264116

The prosecutor added the defendant made comments that he should "get a medal for what he had done" and "he could have done more damage if he had a samurai sword".

Mr Welling said that Mr Royden made an "odd prepared statement" to police while smelling of alcohol and added: "It appears he is doubting the authenticity of the Magna Carta."

His comments included: "You can't talk to me about the Holy Grail, so to speak. If you find a bag on the floor which says 'cocaine' on it, you would have to test that bag forensically. As for your Holy Grail, you would need a carbon test and a trace element test.

Fake Magna Carta, eh? Is there nothing the Jewish Masons of the EU deep state won't sink to?

On the up side though, it means that any contradictions between what the Magna Carta actually says and the fantasy law stylings of PLD can be explained away. 'That's not what it really said, that's just the version the Illuminati cooked up to fool honest folk'.

Surely whatever the Magna Carta says can be crosschecked with the other copies around the UK (Faversham, the British Museum etc) rendering whether the Salisbury one is real or not void.

Then again, FoTLers aren't known for common sense.

According to the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... -cathedral), Mr. Royden was sentenced today for four years for this little affair.

[longdog]

I'm disappointed to see this... "When Royden was convicted, Parkes pointed out to the jury that the right of a man to be tried by his peers was enshrined in Magna Carta".

If that's not bad reporting I would expect better from a judge than to get that wrong.

My wife and I were there just two months before that happened. We did a driving trip around England and we stopped in Salisbury so she could see the Magna Carta. We skipped Stonehenge for some far more important shrines, the Bovington tank museum for me and Jane Austen's House Museum in Chawton for my wife.

A disaster waiting to happen!

[longdog]

Stonehenge is an anti-climax and looks better in photographs than it really is. Pretty much everybody I know had the same reaction when they first saw it... "It's not as big as I was expecting".

Avebury on the other hand is very impressive but compared to Stonehenge almost unheard of by the man and woman on the Clapham omnibus.
