The Rant Thread/My Life Sucks Topic [Don't be pricks]

@Dude

I heard this a while back. Paraphrased...

"Trying to get in an argument [with an idiot] is like playing chess with a pigeon. They knock over the pieces and shit on the board before flying home and proclaiming victory."

You might be wasting your breath trying to get them to consider anything otherwise...

AKA trolling

[Ruto]

I don't really think it's trolling if they don't see it that way. I don't think they think anything they post is inflammatory, it's all FACT* to them. Which is really, really sad.

I think he/she wrote that on purpose just because he/she's an asshole, and wants to waste people's time. That person doesn't have a life.

[Ruto]

I think he/she wrote that on purpose just because he/she's thinks they're so smart, and wants to "educate people." That person doesn't have a life.

Fixed.  Dunno, seeing their defensive attitudes and asinine comments to their own articles and responses to those that disagree make me think otherwise. They think they're educated and all but I think a lot of them are just basement dwellers that haven't read a book in years. I should blog these idiotic comments.

[FSM-Reapr]

Convinced.

Two words: Millard Filmore

I respectfully disagree.

I believe it's James Buchanon.

Though I do give him awesome points because he wasn't tied down with "the old ball-and-chain".

I think John Tyler was a huge jerk.
"HI, I'M TOTES A WHIG AND NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT.
LOL, NO, I WILL NOT PASS WHIG LEGISLATION."

To be perfectly frank, I hate people discussing politics on the forum, I don't really want to say why.

[K-NiGhT]

Agreed. New topic.

So has anybody heard about that theater shooting in Colorado?

[Saria]

NO.

[DrP]

This isn't politics. It's talking about lame presidents from the 1800s who have little effect to today's political sphere... FAR from it.

It's just friendly stuff, not bashing Obama/Romney or any other political figures of the last 100 years.

But, yes, the shootings in Colorado... that really sucks.

[K-NiGhT]

My cousin almost went to see it there last night. So glad he didn't.

[Ruto]

And conspiracy theories have somehow popped up. Is there anything they won't do for attention? -_-

Also, I have a cold.

Here Ruto, have this virtual bowl of soup as a way of me saying "get well soon".
*gives bowl of soup*

Thanks
