Ellipses are fine in order to combine snips. I thinking clarifying them [unclear pronouns] is fine, but need to be totally true to the original quotation. No altering words within the quotation! And you must attribute the original post!

People opt-in by posting in this thread or being in the Opt-In group
Yet what differs in my case is that terror or horror are perfectly fine for me.

Well, then I'm inclined to give you a taste of your own medicine, as our first quote-mining victim!
 
I'll opt in. I've said some outrageous things. I think I've even sometimes tried to see how outrageous a single sentence I could hide in a qualifying context.

If it gets popular, we should keep a running log of people who opted in. We got a ways into the what are my politics thread before realizing we would want an omnibus list.

You can track it El Mac, or I'm willing to.
 
Many things I say are outrageous in context. If someone wants to take them out, feel free.
 
I'm already in the opt-in group, so no need to opt-in here.

Then again I don't post all that much so nothing to quotemine :p

Oh really? Having never been able to resist a challenge...

The ultimate is the process that can hopefully corrupt. I'm not going to say its perfect. I'm just the potential.

Jocoolyo goes all evil on us!
 
I'm in.

Like (unlike?) Joe I do feel I post quite a bit (which is strange, since he's posted 50% more than me...), but I don't think I've said anything which is interesting to quotemine.
 
Yeah sure, I'll opt in. Sometimes it does one well to be reminded of some of the horrible things they have said over time.
 
I think they're looking for "amusing" out of context quotes. Which could be a veritable minefield.

I'll opt in. Because I think people quote me out of context all the time. Assuming that they ever do. And not that I mind. I quote myself out of context all the time anyway.
 
I'm sure I've said terrible, terrible things before. JR is already winning the thread. :)
 
I can't remember what I've said myself. Never mind what other people might have said.
 
I was 14 when I said this stuff, so don't judge me.

Spoiler :
So does that mean the only people for Texas secession are David Stern and Rick Perry? :lol:

Saying that you have proven that God is imaginary is like saying that you have proven that the Big Bang theory is correct. You can't do either.

If we gave the land back, where would all of the other people living on that land go? Mexico? Canada? Neither of those sound very appealing...

To add on to that, don't come crying back to us when you find yourself with one less kidney...

I sing Womanizer in the shower. Frequently.

True. Jail doesn't sound like too much fun. :sad: And the outfits look ridiculous.

I will celebrate May 1st by casting off my garments and running off into the wilderness.

I think the Democrats will rename themselves the Socialist Party.

Spaghetti tasted much better when I was 7.

I'm all for this, but on two conditions:

1) Free pie
2) The Whigs rise again!

If global warming is caused by pollution, was there not enough pollution during the ice age? :crazyeye:

When I call something gay, I'm not saying "I hate gay people and all homosexual activites and I am expressing my anger towards them, RAWR!!" I am simply saying that the something I called gay is stupid.

Example: "This homework is gay." I'm not calling the homework homosexual or using it as a way to attack homosexuals. I am simply calling the homework stupid.


Stab yourself with a butter knife, then.

I think I saw you in therapy yesterday. :crazyeye: Were you the one with the bloody knife?

I just carry around a(n?) used tissue. Gets the job done without being overkill.

We should call dollars Washingtons. He was such a pimp.

Not another quote battle thread!

titties, beer, drugs... the list goes on and on ;)

I have no idea what my surname means, but my first name means God Remembered. What he remembered, I'm not quite sure of. But the important thing is he remembered.

You want to marry a jackass?

It would seem that the popular vote is that this poll likes men.

Okay, I admit the whole butter knife thing was a bit far fetched.

Exactly. Gun will always beat mouth.

Beating girlfriends. Oh, wait. That's what motivates Chris Brown!

Going to a bar at 1 in the morning and seeing a bunch of drunks act this way does not confirm your belief that Americans attack steaks with forks and forks alone. I have only seen this occur with small children. And drunks. And drugees. Please think before you post demeaning things about a country as a whole based on what you saw a small number of people in that country do.

CivGeneral, if I understand correctly, basically what you're saying is that Republicans are wasting money and ruining the economy when they have a large deficit, but when the Democrats have triple the deficit, they are improving the economy. Wow, just wow. :crazyeye:

Clinton was the horniest president we have had yet. And this did not really answer what I said at all.

That reminds me of the time I put nachos in the microwave for a minute. Came out with red cheese, and when I turned the plate upside down, the nachos stayed on the plate. :sad:

Were these white hairs on your head or your chest? :confused:

Chicago. testicles

Is anything from France pimp?

Why does everyone call you black if you're half white?

Like others have stated, if the economy is still bad in 2012 Romney's our guy.

It's illogical to compare Bush's spending with anybody.

:rolleyes: Do you realize how many users on this forum are teenagers and would take major offense to the statement you just made?

I don't have any homo friends.

I have black friends.

I said I have an emo friend because I have a friend who used to be somewhat emo, and he styles his hair like he's emo.

I think Fifty should go to church if it means helping children getting a better education.

If they didn't have anything against homosexuals, then they wouldn't accuse him of having a demon.

If they're legal, I don't consider them an immigrant. If they're illegal, then they are still an immigrant. Forever.
 
Alright I won't judge you.

But if I were to, I'd have said you did better than a lot of people twice your age.
