He isn’t advocating being “partially dedicated to bettering the world,” dipshit. He’s advocating complete and utter obsession with the events of today, to the point where the nation comes to a halt because all anybody does is watch the news and whine a lot. He’s like a fucking radio station: “All awareness, all the time. You’re listenin to the paranoid hour with your hosts, clayton_e and Palve.”
Plus, where has he given any example of doing anything to stop what he sees as a problem? He doesn’t like the war? Bully for him. What’s he doing about it? Organizing protests? Putting together a blood drive? Smoking a lot of weed? My guess is that he’s probably just sitting in front of his computer whining about it, and expecting that to make things better. And possibly smoking a lot of weed.
Whoa there, budro, you’re getting ahead of yourself. Making the world a better place is definitely not stupid and misguided, but what does whining about it accomplish? What does swearing off Hollywood and television do to help your cause? Is this a tirade against war, or capitalism? Because if it’s the latter, then I fail to see the connection with the events of 9/11. Hell, you guys shoulda been whining about this long before the terrorists attacked.
Nah, I don’t think so. If he were smoking a lot of weed he’d either: A.) Be laughing so hard at this shit he wouldn’t able to post his whinny little comments or B.) Be too fucked up to be able to operate his keyboard, and thus couldn’t post his whinny little comments.
Oh, and clayton_e, you seem to think that this war isn’t about the survival of our “civilization” (as you put it), pray tell, do explain how the attacks of 9/11 weren’t intended to scare and demoralize us as a nation? If I follow what you use for logic, then I guess we should see them as simply Bin Laden’s version of a Greenpeace protest, am I right? After all, the big, bad USA is simply after the Afghans because they don’t want to watch MTV and eat at McDonald’s, isn’t that so?
And God knows, failing to type those two letters per word makes him a sheer MASTER of efficiency. You know, if we could just harness the power saved by not typing out the word “to,” opting instead to type “2,” we could power the entire state of Texas from now until the year 2764? This would enable us to stretch out our oil reserves; instead of disappearing in fourteen years, they’ll last 3,982.
All because of “to.”
'Struth.
I’m not. I just don’t see what the hell WHINING about it is going to do. Please, enlighten me.
The point boat just left the dock, darlin’. I’m afraid you missed it.
Nice to know that you can, just like clayton_e, can comprehend exactly how I feel about everything based on one or two posts on a message board. I wish I were as smart and insightful as you.
I pointedly do not apologize for the improper bolding in the above post. If I had spent the time and effort to type the /b command, I would have been wasting enough energy for the entire population of Rhode Island to make a grilled cheese sandwich apiece.
And by unefficiently coming back to explain that, you just wasted a ton of energy and caused a five minute black-out in a 200 sq mile area in northeast Nebraska. You selfish bitch!
id like 2 make a nice comment supporting the do something you little whiner con10gent but i’m laughing 2 hard
[sub]if i rite really little & skip punctuation that saves enough electrons for an extra minute of my luke warm solar powered shower tomorrow @ 5 am struth
im also protesting capital letters today in an effort to raise awareness of the evils of capitalism get it capital letters = capitalism [/sub]
Hey guys, I’m back. Okay, well, I have something to say. I don’t think clayton is a jerk like I used to. I talked to him on AIM (yeah, AIM: it’s not just for frogs anymore:)), and I don’t think he’s quite the ogre you guys think he is. Sure, I may not agree with what he’s saying, because, well…I love pop culture, but he seems to be a pretty cool guy. I come in here looking for a flame fest and I end up with a new doper on my buddylist. Ironic, isn’t it? Anyway, that’s all, folks. Return to your regularly scheduled pit thread.
Oh, I don’t think he’s a jerk. I just think he’s incapable of both debate and proper typing. It’s not a character flaw, necessarily. I’m sure he’s a nice guy underneath the idealism and dumb typing.
