Post your controversial Lorne opinions

He's got a pretty decent looking dad bod.

That’s Lorne with almost every aspect of his life. His singing voice isn’t THAT bad: he could be a passable member of the local church choir or get through a tolerable rendition of Livin’ on a Prayer at the dive bar. It’s just that he thinks his singing is superstar quality, so he inflicts it on everyone at every opportunity.

His trailer could be perfectly livable with some modest repairs and some fresh paint, but he tries to turn it into a mansion and it ends up looking like something from Fallout.

He could get a relationship with a real live wumman (assuming he doesn’t already have one) if he would just accept that he’s not going to get a 10/10 19 year old underwear model.

  His arms and shoulders weren't bad at all.  I've seen far worse guts on men his age. I never looked at the ass spread pics so I can't comment on how his ass looks. I'll give it a 2 though since it's Lorne and I'm imaginative.

I agree.  Lorne scammed Betty, so now someone scammed him for money.  Whatever her motives were, he got what he deserved...

it pisses me off that he was able to get money for Nikki but didn't even try to pay Betty back.

I think there’s a significant chance if Kayla was real he would have killed her

He will ransack the house. Then and only then, will he call 911 to report her death. 

Lorne definitely has a 'normal gear' where he can blend in and make easy conversation with simple folk. He's not a social retard. It's only when your relationship with him goes beyond the superficial (or he believes it does) that he exposes what an abject weirdo he really is. 

I think it's possible but the chance is largely insignificant.

The most likely Kayla death scenario is that he gets all sexually worked up and drunk while he's at the house, she changes her mind or has her own freakout after he rapes her, and then he panics about neighbors hearing or something and commits a non-premeditated murder out of sheer panic. Then he double panics and bolts out of there, driving drunk as far away as he can until caught or he runs out of gas.

Otherwise, he was just going to get off and leave.

To that point, I guess my controversial opinion is that he wasn't really grooming her for a long-term relationship. I think he would have had sex with her at the sting house, then said he had to go grab something from his truck, and then drive off. He would have blocked her on MySpace and Yahoo, maybe deleting one or both of the accounts, and figured that her deleting her archives would cover him for the rest of it.

Lorne is very, very stupid, but I think even he realized he couldn't have a long-term, long-distance relationship with a 13-year-old girl without someone finding out. And he knew that, even if he did keep it a secret and didn't disclose it until she was 18, everyone would immediately realize it meant he was a pedophile.

I tend to agree. I don’t think he had any intention of killing but he had every intention of rape, which is a violent act not so removed from murder… especially when an impulsive perpetrator of low intelligence and impulse control doesn’t get his way.

What I keep thinking about is that child killers really do exist—we know this for a fact—and it’s hard to imagine them being more anti-social and deviant and incapable than Lorne Armstrong. If the Lornes of the world aren’t the perverts killing children, who is?

I don’t believe Lorne is a full-blown retard. Handy-tard might be a more appropriate term.
He has dull-normal intelligence and probably rates in the lower average range of IQ. He’s just not capable of abstract thinking and is very socially unaware.
His perpetual unemployment is more likely related to a lack of motivation and sheer laziness, rather than a lack of intelligence. He is likely competent enough to perform most laborer jobs.

Physically, his arms, shoulders and upper torso seem to be in decent shape.

He’s not a terrible singer. What is laughable is his over-confidence in his musical talent. His guitar playing is average.

And the biggie. I don’t think he is a true pedophile. He is just opportunistic and Kayla seemed to be an easy and attainable target for him.

and that's why I hate him.
