My own suggested explanations for the acronym FAIR:

1.) Fools, A**holes, Imbeciles, and Rejects;

2.) Flawed Arguments for Intellectual Runts;

3.) Foolish Assertions, Incoherent Reasoning;

4.) Fallacious, Asinine, Insulting, and Repetitive;

5.) Fake Academics for Idiotic Rancour;

6.) Freaks and Airheads Ignorantly Ranting;


and lastly...


7.) Futile Apologetics for an Inane Religion.


Post your own suggestions or comments below. Good luck!

Would like to take a moment to congratulate all for - so far - not using the actual F-word. Tough though, ain't it?

I wonder if "Futile Apologetics for an Insane Religion" is better than "Inane Religion"...

Furthering Abjection to Intellectual Reserve (Inc.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abjection
"Abjection is a major theme of the 1949 work The Thief's Journal (Journal du Voleur) by French author Jean Genet, a fictionalised account of his wanderings through Europe in the 1930s, wherein he claims as a criminal outcast to actively seek abjections as an existentialist form of 'sainthood'[14]"
