Yep, there’s the proof. that one got through instantly too. If, after this, I try the long post it will sit and do nothing…
Sat there. Maybe it only does it on long posts.
I FUCKING HATE THE SDMB!
Yep, long posts. So I’ll post it in bits. Here goes…
…I think there is some pedantry going on in this thread. I must be pedantic in response and say…
I believe a high percentage of Americans are too easily offended when their culture/country is talked about in a negative light…
…When there is a comparatively high peercentage of something then it is ok to use it as a generalisation.
Or to be even more pedantic - A higher than world-average percentage of Americans are more easily offended than the average of all other countries.
For the sake of argument - lets say 30% of brits are too easily offended, 20% of Japanese are too easily offended, 10% of Indians are too easily offended, and 60% of Americans are too easily offended. Obviously those percentages are wild guesses because they are for the sake of argument, but you get the idea that America’s percentage is unusually high so that leads people from the lower percentage countries to say “Americans are too easily offended”…
…For fooks sake, why have I been drawn into this mess of explaining everything and analysing and blah blah facking about. When Any non-fecking-pedantic person can know what I meant without pisssing about with all this sshite!..
lobley, this is you: Why are you so defensive?
This is us: We’re not.
This is you: I rest my case.
At this point in your argument, anything we say, you’ll use against us (Americans) to prove your point.
See:
And you can take any stance on an accusation against you or or your country to try and prove your point as well.
See:
In any another instance, LolaBaby’s accusatory quote may have angered you, and you may have given a different response to it. However, in this case, being nonchalant regarding such “generalizations” about Brits helped “prove your point.”
And what was your point again? What was the question?
Ah yes, “When did you Americans stop beating your wives?”
stv
…Americans are too patriotic! leave it at flurcking that! And this was moved to the pit (even though I put it in IMHO because it was IN MY HUMBLE OPINION) so I can swear all the fluck I like. I am pished off with all this arshing about explaining myself. I will keep the opinion that you guys are too easily offended and I no longer give a ship if you agrree with it. In fact I no longer give a shinpad if you hate my guts because this funking Message board is too full of snobby barstewards and is probably not worth the attention I waste on it. There are too many fanking fragile egos here, I admit I am one of them, this place is not big enough for this many fragile egos…
…P.S. SDMB SLow? a flooking understatement! LolaAsks “why am I wasting my time” about me. I am asking myself why am I wasting my time about this whole tosssingg Board…
I don’t fucking care anymore if this split-posting is pissing anyone off… this fucking trolly of semen has pissed ME off often enough.
BYE!
Stop, Dave . . . I can feel my mind going . . .
You are all a bunch of farging iceholes!
Ooooookay.
Put your hands up, step away from the keyboard, and refrain from taking any stimulants for, say, a week.
I really really hope I can resist the temptation to come back here and look at what people have said to my posts. Because I am fucking fed up of the SDMB but I am a fucking twat who is too fucking COMPULFUCKINGSIVE to stay away from this thing that pisses me off!
Ah, Americans. We drive the peoples of the world MAAAAAAD!!!
MAAAAAAAD!!!
MAAAAAAAAD!!!
MAAAAAD!
MAAAAD!
st-- MAAAAAAD!!!-- v :rolleyes:
I hear Thorazine really helps with these mood swings.
I could calm down and apologise. but I know (even in my current ‘lost it completelty’ state) I will always get pissed off with the SDMB and will probably be too compulsive to leave it alone.
Why am I so shit?
What a release! It feels good to lose it!
But aghh I am calming down! I know that if I calm down I’ll be drawn back into the Jaws of the SDMB and this thread.
Help!!
More than one poster has petitioned the administrators here to take away their posting privileges while they get their lives in order. You might want to consider taking this step.
Really.
Or, if you’d like, one of us could do it for you.
lobley, dude…
From now on, try to remember that the decaffeinated brands can be just as tasty as the real thing.
[sub]thanks to “Real Genius” for the line[/sub]
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
I go to take a nap, and I come back to this.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Holy shitzu.
lobley, dude/dudette: have a beer or something.
All I’m saying is: DON’T lump me in with overbearing, patriotic Americans, because I am one of the least patriotic Americans out there (possibly). Maybe there are quite a few others on this board who feel that way also.
What the fuck is so hard about that?
