  • what are you done with? Are you done with thinking Walter Payton is the best athlete over? :)
    • blasphemer!

      Repent, and ye shall be saved. ;)
      • Well, since I have little else to say about you utter lack of the top sports athletes, i'mm simply quote a book.

  • Let us discuss the choice of Icon. StarWars..... Why?

    In other unrelated news, I just ignore the vibrating molecules the shoot at my eyes in the form of text typed by TMP. Saves me lots of time and needlessly wasted brain cycles.

    • Yeah, I defriended him after about the 5 millionth rant about how the conservatives are ruining this country and how none of us think for ourselves and we get all our ideas from George W. Bush so we must all be stupid. Of course, I never took the energy to point out the fact that just because a lot of people agree on something you disagree with, it doesn't make it wrong, but he's entitled to his opinion and if I don't like it, I can just stop reading. So I did. And I didn't even have to wait for W. to te
      • I had a message in my corn flakes from the President the other day that told me to keep an eye on TMP. So I am watching him like a hawk. :-)
  • We were all young and stupid once. TMP just has it in spades.
    • No, that's not it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

      It's just that he came in here, insulted me, told me to fuck off, then went and posted a journal about how dumb I am and I'm a retard and all this other shit.

      That's real adult.

      Whatever floats his boat though.
      • That's what he does (has tantrums about things). He does have an interesting point now and then, so I tend to just ignore the bulk of it that is unpleasant self-indulgence. The s/n ratio has been going down, though.
      • I have a large typed out reply to his post to your last journal on my home computer. I didn't post it because of 2 reasons: 1. The obituary I was looking to link to is no longer online, and 2. because I took advice from his own journal that "when I meet someone who's views are so extreme and set, just nod, ignore and move on." I was going to post about how I got out of a small city that has seen it's economy drop by 85% in the last 25 years and has seen drug trafficking rise so high that the DEA moved it'
        • Dude, you're worth more than $24K a year. Just find the right situation. It's there.

          FWIW, I didn't gripe when I was earning $16K a year. You just deal. It's a free fucking country.

          Oh, and move.
          • But, but, but ... here I have an near endless supply of girls aged 18-23 that think I'm 24/ I'm not gonna find that very many other places :)

            I've also become somewhat of a local fixture. It's nice paying half price on all drinks (when I'm charged at all).

            What I've learned (and it took a long while) is that I make enough money to be happy. More money would require more work and less free time. I value my time and friends more than the extra bucks, something I think TMP hasn't learned yet.

        • Interesting view. But what about those of us who don't want to move and instead prefer stability? The city I live in (Cleveland, Ohio) is going down the tubes fast for similar reasons. This town was largely built around factories which have dried up. Cleveland has nothing to offer the 20-30-somethings who are interested in technology related business and because of that can't draw those kinds of businesses. The smart folks here are leaving in droves. But there are some of us who have family here. Som
          • Oh, I agree that lots of what I have comes from luck/aaccident, but luck doesn't just happen. People (ficticious people) who sit on their couch all day aren't going to get as many lucky or accidental breaks as those that are out "pounding the pavement" are going to get. Opportunity isn't just a function of work, luck, or living area, but a combintion of the 3 along with many hidden factors and some good old "randomness" thrown in.

      • It's just that he came in here, insulted me, told me to fuck off, then went and posted a journal about how dumb I am and I'm a retard and all this other shit.

        And your problem with this is?

        FWIW, I think I helped fuel the fire. Any dumb shit who's proposing armed insurrection to redistribute wealth best be prepared for me to take it to him. Some day he'll grow up, but until then, I have no time for such idiocy.
        • YOU FAIL IT ("it" is recognizing sarcastic responses to other people's posts)

          Although I would encourage YOU to take up an armed insurrection so that I'd have another funny darwin award story to read.

          Seriously though, get over yourself. It's slashdot. If you want semi-intelligent banter, plastic.com is over yonder rolling hills. This is more like the tower of babel, and I'm more than happy to add to the confusion for the amusement of the people who don't think their god's own shit.
          • Whatever happened to YOU FAIL IT!? I enjoyed his/her work very much...

            By the way, I didn't really understand this phrase:
            "...for the amusement of the people who don't think their god's own shit."

            Huh?
  • TMP is a troll. A really really really good troll.

    A trawler really. He's brilliant at it. I don't mean he's funny or clever either. He's a brilliant troll/trawler.

    Then there's my recent bumper sticker meme for the whole Internet:

    Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics -- Even if you win you're still retarded.

    (don't give me any shit about bagging on the SO I'm there volunteering at the local events every year; what are YOU doing for the sneaker gnawing freaks?)

    The point is
  • amuses me so much only because the other night with nothing else to do I rewatched "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back". It just reminds me so much of Jay and Silent Bob's crusade to beat the crap out of everyone who personally insulted them on the internet.

    The entire thing almost falls into the "so stupid you can't help but sit back and laugh" at it.
    • and yet I can't...stop...posting.

      I must know the answer.

      Slowdown horseboy! It's been like well over a minute since you last successfully (thanks 503) posted anything. Chances are, you actually type faster than a team of drunk apes at a frat party, but if this isn't the case, the problem is on your end.
  • you're not saying you're going to leave the dot simply because someone here doesn't like you, are you? that doesn't sound like the em i remember. the em i remember would just ignore opinions any he thought silly. what could possibly have happened to you that you'd start caring whether every one of these other people on the internet like you?

    the great thing about his response is that it's a particular form of passive-aggressive behavior that frees you from having to witness any portion of it. i mean, yo
  • This guy has just exceed his official allotment of deserved outrage by a factor of at least 100. He's a twit. A git. A fucktard. A troll.

    And he's such a troll because he's convinced himself that this OBVIOUSLY painfully ridiculous bullshit he spews is really true. At first, I thought it was completely a joke. But it turned out he was serious, and that's just pathetic.

    This boy is what we need you around for, Em. Not that he's actually going to learn. I'd like to be around though, when life writes him a b
  • I seem to recall that your JE was essentially requesting a flamefest. I'm not saying that you're wrong and he's right, in fact I think you're both right to a large extent (personal attacks aside), but are too caught up in what you believe to see it.

    You'll notice I have both you and the_concerned_poster friended. That's because I agree with much of what you both have to say, and even when I don't, I find it entertaining more often than not. I do think that he's a bit over the top sometimes, but that's the r

  • 1. I write whatever the fuck I want.
    2. I have a desire to make the world better.

    4. I vocalise my rants at the time place and manner that I choose.
    5. I accept any kind of arguments pro and/or con (but I can smell trolls).

    Damn, why you people taking this shit so serious? This is slashdot, home of the CmdrTaco's Ingenious Moderation System [slashdot.org](TM), remember? If you guys wanted thoughtful inquiry and respectful discourse, you came to the wrong place. And if you all haven't figured that out by now, you deserve whatever misery you create for yourselves.
