Kind of fucked up how you can joke about the murder of millions of people. Replace Korea with Israel and now you got yourself a Holocaust joke.

I thought that labster was referring to recent North Korean threats to perform their next thermonuclear test in the atmosphere: http://www.armscontrolwonk.com/archive/1204233/guest-post-consequences-of-testing-an-h-bomb-in-the-pacific/ http://www.armscontrolwonk.com/archive/1204233/guest-post-co... Which would be a disturbing development, but not nearly as disturbing as actual nuclear war.

Some people died in the past, and now human life is condemned to tearful solemnity for all eternity. That's not any less fucked up.

But then, N. Korea is nothing like Israel, so what's your point?

  >we've warned you before What are you talking about? Are you serious? You must really enjoy living in a bubble. I'd be glad to take my sourced comments to a community that appreciates... sourced, verifiable comments. What's the point in discussion if it's not for finding the truth? Virtue signalling? After the "Obama never did anything controversial" discussion (AND I VOTED FOR HIM), I can tell pretty clearly the mods here value cohesion over facts, logic, and reason. So if I'm banned for that, I consider it a badge of honor to be on the right side of history in standing for liberal values. I really can't comprehend how you can value engineering and research and then shut your critical thinking brains off when you start communicating with other people. The thing about bubbles is... they eventually pop. Enjoy yours while it lasts. It must be genuinely enjoyable to live in denial since so many people seem to be doing it these days. But I wasn't blessed with the ability to think I'm right all the time, even when someone posts a sourced rebuttal. If this last election has proved anything, it's that people like you are furious that their bubble is starting to crack. You all thought you had the election "in the bag". Then the shock and tears came when reality seeped in to the bubble. So enjoy having a website, while the rational people will enjoy having the White House, cycle after cycle. Because as outraged as you get, the one thing your group statistically can't be bothered to do... is vote. TL;DR I'm better than you. ;) :P

    You are better than him, he's a fucking ignorant SJW who bans people who refuse to cow down to his absurd censorship. He thinks his feelings are more important than allowing people to be human and talk openly without being pussies.
