ill let thorleifur answer this, since hes the mastermind behind intelligent life in iceland < does anybody note the sarcasm there?? well please let me know if you do, couse im not sure if it was meant as such(stuff).
well anyhows, this breaks #100, do i get a prize??
with a laugh in my heart and a kick in some arse(do you know which one?) i start eating my breakfast.
There are signs of intelligent life in Iceland, although it has dampened and weakened after the internet revolution.
Is that due to outside effects, or do Icelanders just tend to get to damn wrapped up in pointless threads with pointless topics?
Perhaps we are forgetting that while the person might be smart, the crowd is stupid as a cow on drugs and on the internet we are talking about one fucking big stupid overdozed cow, which of we all are a part of.
So get used to it, there is no intelligent life to speak of. Only an overdozed cow.
oh where to start, #1, stop knocking papabear, guypropski and tomndeb…not only are they way, way better humans than you, they can out type/think you…
I am Canadian, and they have no problem with me, so they are hardly overly nationalistic in their attitudes toward other countries, I bet the people in Iceland are more offended/embarrased by your posts than by anything papabear will ever say…oh, and what can big bad old Iceland do even if they are mad?throw snowballs???you losers…do you even know how really lame you sound?
I am unable to decipher most of what you say…isnt there some place that you can post in a language that is easier for you to follow???
why not just start an Icelandic thread, and we’ll all promise to stay away, then you can talk to yourselves all day, which is basically all you are doing now, and if you will excuse me from your verbal masturbation, I will go find a thread where everyone can understand what is being said.
Tomndebb, why dont you come play in my yard, these kids are bad
Seems like there has to be a crowd representing the theoritical arse of the cow I recently enlightened us all about, and one of the anal group just made himself clear.
I wouldn’t dare waste a precious snowball on a being full of shit.
kellibelli: so you do understand what we are saying?? and get offended by it?? mymy…
well, for your comfort kjwise didnt mention your name anywhere in his posting, so who are you to be offended by it? i know for a fact that every canadian i have met or talked are quite nice persons, dont tell me you are any different? to say the same about americans is a bit more difficult, i cant…and wont deny the fact that everywhere you go you are bound to meet both nice persons and stupid persons (i am not saying anybody here is…yet!). just 2 weeks ago i met 2 quite nice americans who where having some problems, i… being a good natured icelander naturally helped them out.
(no i wasnt giving them direction)
well… enough of babbling!
the bottomline being, stick to the subject and please refrain from personality attacks.
and by the way, excluding silly remarks, your only argument directly linked to the topic so far has been spelling errors.
(strangely enough i scored 153 in an english iq test, but i do admit that it is easier to understand english than expressing oneself in that particular language.)
kellibelli: …how did you manage to understand what i was saying! you twist your own logic against you.
and how can one get annoyed by something one cant understand?
i dont want to suggest anything in order to avoid insulting somebody, meaning… if you have found anything i have said insulting, or considered any words of mine directly meant for you in order (what you thought) to verbally insult your intelligence, you have yourself to blame for it, for you know the fault to be yours. or you have been to stupid not to notice, due to a lack of understanding, narrow mindedness, the classic “hvað fékkstu í morgunmat?” or all of the above.
please enjoy your weekend

I don’t think you are equipted to engage in any kind of usefull debate in English. You misinterpret what others post and you’re own posts are often baffling (but of Kid?). Any idioms or cultural references are lost on you.

and
is it just me…or did you just agree with papabear??? HELLO…that is the point he was trying to make!!!
yes… i quite agree with you kellibelli!
the hell with it. i cant see that papabear has proven there isnt intelligent life in iceland (not that i really care about what is saying, since most of it isnt really topic related, just a collection of badly misplaced posts aimed personally against some icelandic persons posting on this thread.) therefore i move for a vote of closing this thread with the words:
we are all either; stupid, rude, narrow minded or all. nothing of what we have said here can be contributed to intelligence, only the fact that we have never met to marvel at each others glory and beauty prevents us from speaking the truth: “on the internet it doesnt matter what planet you are from, if your skin is green and you have antlers or if we have snowballs for a harmless game while you have nukes.” understanding other people isnt based on their ability to communicate, but on your skill to interpet it to your own language. for communication is the key to peace in the world of overdozed cows(as kj so elegantly put it) looking for asylum at a mental institude.
I say we invade Iceland. We already have troops there at the Naval Base. We can turn the whole country into a nice Golf course, slaughter the men and sell the women as slaves to the Scythians. Sowing salt into the earth would be pointless there, but maybe we can get Union Carbide to set up a plant and pollute the rivers. Afterwards, we can force them to pay yearly tribute: the weight of a man in gold. We get to pick the man. Rush Limbaugh, maybe, or Norman Schwarzkopf. Really, any Washington pol would do.
Fact. Thorleifur claims “butt of kid” is an English expression.
Fact. No one has been able to confirm this.
Fact. I am mocking his new style of posting.
Question: what the hell does “butt of kid” mean?
My theory is that he meant to say “butt out” but got mixed up.
“[He] beat his fist down upon the table and hurt his hand and became so
further enraged… that he beat his fist down upon the table even harder and
hurt his hand some more.” – Joseph Heller’s Catch-22
See, Papabear’s post was a PARODY, sarcasm, if you will, of Thorleifur’s original inflammatory posts. His point was to show Thorleifur how bad it felt to have the same kind of questions asked about his own beloved home land. But we’ve got a huge language barrier here, combined with patriotic feelings for our respective homelands, and a natural tendency of all human beings to defend what they love from attack, real or perceived. You’re all right on some points, you’re all wrong on some points, and you’re just … oh, hell, I’m just wasting my breath.

kellibelli: i thought you might say that
thank you for not disappointing me.
gr8kat: you are on the right track there!
apb9999: hmm… yes you could. but tell me one thing, would you do the same as the first icelanders who sailed to wineland now 1000 years ago.
for your enlightenment, we left! why? there were already people there. but i guess you already know that.
“the bottomline being, stick to the subject and please refrain from personality attacks.”
This is the BBQ pit. We (the people at The Straight Dope) CREATED this forum specifically for personality attacks…
However, this thread is starting to take too long to load. If you wish to continue arguing, please start another thread, perhaps with “intelligent” spelled properly this time.
