Mister Jack Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Technically people ARE entitled to their opinion, but we also don't have to respect said opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) If your opinion is I like Strawberries more than Lemons that's fine. Buy as the article suggests if you're going to bring up a philosophical, ethical or moral standpoint they better be prepared to defend it logically or rationally. I've no qualms in being ruthless to someone who decides to fight a losing battle. It is better to say that you don't know about something and bow out with grace rather than argue over something you know very little about. I have little patience with such people these days. Unfortunately people aren't always that smart. Â By you, I meant one. Not you MJ Edited May 21, 2013 by WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 That's more or less what I was getting at. Â If you (the general "you") express a belief to me that I think is just completely stupid and ignorant, chances are good that no amount of debate is going to change your mind, so I am probably just going to mock you without mercy instead. Â This usually happens when I encounter prejudices that are steeped in religion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 It is fun though to destroy someone's entire world view when one feels particularly nihilistic. Fortunately I don't get that way often. I have done it a few times. Not something to be proud about but sometimes it is fun to argue when you have rationale backing you. However when someone is that stupid and ignorant all you can do is laugh at them if they continue to argue pedantically over ignorfmation. Most get the idea that there's no more point in a discussion. Of course one doesn't do this to someone who argues with logic and reason.

NeoStarr Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Because I misread that 'master race' thing the first time through; I just wanna say I hate Zerg players in any StarCraft community who are all high and mighty because their race was underpowered two goddamn years ago.

Popular Post Waldorf and Statler Posted June 1, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Yeah. What the fuck is with the obsession with women and the Kardashians? Both of my sisters and all her friends are like "oh shit the Kardashians are in our city and doing a signing in the mall let's gooooooooo!" and I'm just thinking why should I care? As a human being? They're not actresses. They're just there. On TV. It's like if somebody went apeshit over Jersey Shore people doing a signing. Why? They're a "hey look they're famous let's take a quick pic" people, not a let's drive to see them. Â And I know I'm judging unnecessarily and it's their personal taste but still. the fuck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 "They gave this game a 10!? Â No game should ever get a 10 because that means it's perfect and it's impossible for any game to be perfect!" Â This is a fucking retarded argument and I despise it every time I hear it.

Thursday Next Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I hate when people send "freedom of information" demands to companies. "I demand you tell me the release date of the PS4 under a formal Freedom of Information Act 2000 Request". These people have 0 concept of what they are talking about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) I hate when my forum post begins a new page for the topic.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 every non-gaming news outlet I've heard mention it, saying the PS4 and and XBone have been launched this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 people who start an online conversation with you and then after everything you write just put "haha" or whatever and never actually put anything for you respond to and continue the conversation. I feel guilty just abandoning the conversation but they make it such hard work. I'm hardly the best chatter to begin with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'm sometimes guilty of this. Well the haha bit at list, it's only if I'm one the receiving end though. Sometimes I'm just not in a position to fully throw myself into the chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'm infamous for "Heh" or something like that. Sometimes I have nothing to say but I'll acknowledge that I read you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
