A grave worth pissing on...
TOPEKA, Kan (WIBW) Fred Phelps Sr., the former head of the Westboro
Baptist Church, died late Wednesday night, according to a family member. Phelps' son, Timothy told 13 News that his father died just before midnight. Timothy Phelps works at the Shawnee Co. Jail. Ironically, another son who is a member of the church, attorney Jonathan Phelps told us Thursday morning that Pastor Phelps "is doing fine." That could have been a spiritual reference. - - - - If ever I am unfortunate enough to find myself in Topeka, and the location of Phelps' grave is known, I'll consider visiting it so I can **** on it. |

How very nice of you to bring us this news, Krausebag. By the way, you had that Hatteras out yet this spring?

I suspect it will be a long time before I find myself in Topeka again, and by then, the line should be a lot shorter. Topeka was a dreary place 50 years ago, and I doubt it is any better now, since the entire state has regressed. I had a girlfriend who was from there, and I visited her at her home a couple of times, and I also was sent there by the newspaper after a tornado and floods to report on the cleanup. I do remember paying a dollar and becoming a "life member" of a bottle club somewhere in the environs of Topeka...this was decades before the state allowed bars to serve liquor by the drink. As backwards as Topeka was in those days, Wichita was far worse. I think it still is. The smaller cities in western Kansas seemed more progressive, or at least open to the 20th Century. We actually did try to cover the "big news" all over the state, and had one man bureaus in a number of towns and "stringers" in most of the rest of the places. I always liked being assigned "cow and horsie" stories, which is what we "slick urbanites" called agriculture news. :) -- Rand Paul & Ted Cruz…your 2016 GOP nominees, because ‘Mericans deserve crazy! |

Positive Distinctiveness Social identity theory argues that humans have a basic psychological need for "positive distinctiveness." In other words, people have a need to feel unique from others in positive ways. As humans naturally form groups, this need for positive distinction extends to the groups we belong to. That is, we tend to view our in-groups more favorably than out-groups (groups we do not belong to). And as a consequence, we tend to see people who are not part of our group less positively than people who are. This is especially likely to occur when there is competition between the groups or when people feel like the identity of their group has been challenged. Research in this tradition most often finds that people display in-group favoritism, and further, that degrading out-group members can have a positive impact on self-esteem and feelings of positivity towards one's groups. |

Personally, I'm glad you don't participate much in the hobby threads. They remain, without your participation, somewhat sociable...as you've undoubtedly noticed. In fact, I'm sure that's what bends your nose out of shape. Those threads aren't full of your caustic comments and therefore 'unworthy'. You're a joke, Krause. |

So that's why Johnny is so ornery. He sees this as a right-wing group and when we "outsiders" don't buy into his right-wingedness, why, it upsets him and he lashes out. Either that, Richard, or you've read some post on pop psychology and believed it. :) I don't care whether you 'buy into' right-wingedness or not. I'd rather politics not be discussed at all. Perhaps you'll be in charge of newsgroup posting when your family drops you off at that nice pastel-painted nursing home across from Springfield Mall.

Someone suggested that he'd love to **** on Phelp's grave but hated standing in long lines. Gosh, we actually agree on something. Did Phelps shoot someone? I can't understand why you'd comment without shots being fired! You'd serve yourself better, Johnny, if you avoided commenting on anything even slightly political. Stick with your hobbies, and if you are a good little boy-man, perhaps your grandkids will buy you an Erector Set for Christmas or an antique American Flyer Train Set, and a striped engineer's cap to go with it. It'll be the perfect hobby to fill out your days at the old folks home. Uh, did I say something that upset you, FOAD? I was agreeing with you feeling about Phelps. Can't understand what would **** you off there. Was the Phelps thing 'slightly political'? Maybe we should just leave politics off rec.boats? Would that suit you? There are no rules here, Johnny. You don't need my permission to discuss all your hobbies, and I don't need your permission to discuss my hobbies. Actually, I don't participate that much in your hobby threads because, well, most of your hobbies bore me nearly as much as you do. Positive Distinctiveness Social identity theory argues that humans have a basic psychological need for "positive distinctiveness." In other words, people have a need to feel unique from others in positive ways. As humans naturally form groups, this need for positive distinction extends to the groups we belong to. That is, we tend to view our in-groups more favorably than out-groups (groups we do not belong to). And as a consequence, we tend to see people who are not part of our group less positively than people who are. This is especially likely to occur when there is competition between the groups or when people feel like the identity of their group has been challenged. Research in this tradition most often finds that people display in-group favoritism, and further, that degrading out-group members can have a positive impact on self-esteem and feelings of positivity towards one's groups. Well, that would indicated that one person here, who spends an inordinate amount of time degrading 'out-group' members must have a tremendous amount of self-esteem - maybe approaching narcissism. Indeed, and that's why I put FlaJim in the bozo bin. You don't get it. It's you they're talking about, baby. He gets it. May not like it, but he gets it. |

I think it usually means the person in question is *lacking* in self-esteem and seeks ways in which to feel better about him/herself and their "in" groups. === Exactly. Harry's self esteem is lower than whale sh*t and it's easy to see why. |

Otherwise he could have been having a blast right now, doing what he wants to instead of what he has to. |
