A thought on the forums

As I am typing this, I see two threads, one is a Bush quotes thread, and the other is titled something like "Bill clinton destroyed America."

I love it.

Frankly, any thread that has "so and so is dumb, a twit, satan" or so on is not going to be on my 'to read' list. You've basically undermined your position from the get go by using personal attacks.

But I DO think it's funny that people so enjoy blaming all their problems on one person or group of people, whether they be Bush, Clinton, liberals, conservatives, Celine Dion (well, that last one is plausible but...), the NWO or whoever.

I mean, go ahead and critique. Critiques are fine. But pointless complaining and name smearing...*yawn*.

Funny to a point...annoying past that. Especially when the threads are actually serious. Now, when they are meant as a joke, but people take them seriously and get all pissed...THAT is humour:)

Yeah, but after a point you run out of things to say. [akward silence]

I reference to that - they didn't name the ice cream after the gun. Magnum is an already existing word meaning 'the best' or 'superlative'.

Plus, smearing can be entertaining, although I have it on good evidence that smear tests are not. Unless you like that sort of thing. Wouldn't know...

Nope, not fun.
