Well, I was just browsing around the interwebs1111OMG, when I came across the sometimes quite inspired photoshop contests at fark.com (fyi, http://www.worth1000.com has better contests, and is more civilized to boot.) While on farkistan, I noticed people responding to post with the claim that they were tired of all the Bush bashing. Ignoring the fact that each side is entitled to free speech, it’s really irritating to see people get their Farm Fresh Panty Set only 29.99 at Target, in a bunch.
I get it, they feel that each time an individual hears a dissenting voice, it feels like a chorus of ditto head, but I doubt they have they ever stopped to consider that there is more at stake with the future of humanity with the Reagan bashers(Cold War, anyone?) and Bush bashers, then with the side that feels that the issue of dislike is overplayed.
Oh, and I realize that this has probably been brought up, but a search into the subject didn’t bring up the topic two pages into the search.
P.S. I fully realize that some people are *so tired * of some of my posts, oh well, you can’t please everyone.
Nah, I just thought it would be funny to add some sort of descriptive phrase to “Don’t get your panties in a wad.” I am not a major consumer of panties, in real life.
“I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not! But I’m sick and tired of being told that I am.”
I’d theoretically be sympathetic if your complaints ever had any substance to 'em. Hell, when it comes down to it, we have the same basic positions on a lot of things.
But you mostly just like to whine a whole lot. I don’t like that. It makes me want to smack you.
Strange, it seems like a lot of my thread have substance to me. After all, if my logic was simply smoke and mirrors, you would think I would get better responses than, “I hate hearing about that topic.” Instead, when I post on many things, people often say that “the question is up in the air”, or “That may be technically correct, but…” instead of soundly trouncing my arguments. If you feel my arguments are weak, feel free to resurrect one of my old threads.
When I said that, I was referring to the fact I see this happening on this message board, other message boards, and in real life. It seems that every time I here a person discuses the war on a bus, the minute they suggest it might not be going well, someone pounces on the suggestion that Bush might not be the best person of all time. They then say the titular phrase.
Do you saying you want me to link to threads where I consider myself to have won, or to post where people raised objections? I don’t know. It sounds an awfully lot like bragging. Besides, that seems like something that people would point out to me, not the other way around. Well, if you have examples, this is the pit, and you are free to argue here, so post em’ if you got em.’
However, I originally read stpauler’s post to fast, and thought it was asking for examples of “getting tired.” and it’s a waste to past the posts I have, so, besides innumerable examples on other boards, and in RL, here they are. Some of these examples are old, but the fact that they are considered acceptable seems objectionable. All emphasis and bolding is mine, and not from the original posts.
It’s funny, I understand all of your words seperately, Scott_plaid, but when they’re expressed collectively in sentences, I have no fucking clue what you’re saying. Not only that, whatever subject you were previously talking about is left behind for another irrelevent thought. Please go medicate yourself before posting again.
“Some people have made the mistake of seeing Shunt’s work as a load of rubbish about railway timetables, but clever people like me, who talk loudly in restaurants, see this as a deliberate ambiguity, a plea for understanding in a mechanized world. The points are frozen, the beast is dead. What is the difference? What indeed is the point? The point is frozen, the beast is late out of Paddington. The point is taken.”
