Can We PLEASE Stop With the Photos?
Edited on Fri Sep-15-06 07:10 PM by MJDuncan1982
I'm a bit wound up because it's Friday and I need a drink but...

I've seen so many pictures of people making strange and idiotic faces. Not that I don't find them funny but I challenge anyone to have 75% of his/her life on camera and not look stoooooopid in one or two FRAMES per day or week.

Edit: Referring to all types of pictures...ranging from Dubya to Hillary.

1. No Idea What The Hell You're Talking About, Nor Why You Consider Yourself
Edited on Fri Sep-15-06 07:10 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
important enough to request such things. It ain't all about you. Stop looking at threads with pictures of idiotic faces and everyone can be happy. LOL

9. Because You Aren't. You Are Asking An Entire Community To Serve The Wants
Edited on Fri Sep-15-06 07:17 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
of one when it makes far more sense for that one to change his or her behavior instead. If you don't like threads with the pictures, don't click on them. That way it's a win win for everybody. But rather than take the responsibility upon yourself to make the changes to satisfy your need, you instead think you're important enough to request that everybody else change their behavior in order to satisfy your petty want or need. But unless you're Skinner, you can rest assured it would be highly unlikely for your request to be honored. Just sayin.

12. Hmmm...
Seems to me you could substitute a few words for others like "gasoline" and "SUV" and then practice what you preach.

:o

Just kidding... I certainly don't want to get caught up in THAT circular argument again. But I just couldn't resist!

:rofl:

Wow, that was pretty darn sad. Hey, hey, I got it. Why don't you tell me next that I have hairy palms too! Yeah, that'll make you look even cooler! Oh, and when you're done with that run around the play yard and tell everybody that OMC smells followed by niener niener niener! Yeah! That's the ticket to coolness! And from there you can yell out to everybody "OMC loves Coulter OMC loves Coulter. OMC and Coulter sittin in a tree, K I S S I N G!". Cause lord knows that'll definitely make you the life of the party! :rofl:

In all seriousness, I've always found that people who resort to such childishness in the absence of anything real to say are themselves the ones making up for their shortcomings... ...But hey, what do I know.

Haven't you seen the TV and magazine ads? The drivers with blow-horns telling the world why they are driving what they are driving?

Man, sorry to hear I was right. I honestly had no idea. But the fact that you took so much pains to reply... whoa. Bummer.

43. I hear that mocking alleged stupidity is a cover for one's own
Edited on Sat Sep-16-06 09:06 AM by Juniperx
insecurity in that regard. I know that excessive bravado for no apparent reason is a sign of the same. So one who is arrogant enough to ridicule another by calling them stupid, while being blatantly stupid themselves is a real pity case.

I'm not stupid. Only a pinhead would call a card carrying genius stupid. You might make an interesting case study for the think tank of which I'm a member. You know nothing about me. I know you drive a gas-guzzling SUV and you have a penchant for belittling others in attempt to boost your own self-esteem and you have no sense of humor whatsoever. Self-implied shadenfruede doesn't count.

I feel for you man. Perhaps you are just misogynistic and you simply like picking on women. Whatever it is, it's not becoming.

49. ROFLMAO! Can You Say Overreaction?
Hey, while you're doin that case study in that think tank of yours, maybe you could set aside some time for the group of ya to figure out that the reference to stupidity was towards your immature comments and not a claim whatsoever that you, as a whole, are stupid. Holy overreaction.

And you say I'M insecure and arrogant. Holy cow :rofl:

Here's some reality for ya: Using immature tactics such as saying "hahaha you have a small penis because you drive an SUV" within a thread that had nothing to do with such, while doing so merely for the sake of animosity and narrow mindedness that one can't let go, was silly and the comments themselves stupid. That doesn't meant that YOU are stupid, it just means that you said some stupid comments. Hell, we all say stupid things sometimes. Like mocking me for driving an SUV as often as you can yet saying I'm the belittling one was a somewhat stupid thing to say, not to mention hypocritical. Saying something like I'm misogynistic and enjoy picking on women was a stupid thing to say too, since it was a total strawman and ludicrous to even suggest. But that doesn't mean that everything you are going to say is going to be stupid or that you as a whole are. It is simply a reference to the statement itself. But hey, like I said, get together with that all important think tank of yours and see if you guys can't figure that out.

Since you're wound up, I hope you, at least, take a brisk walk before that drink.
