I'm not saying what the blogger wrote is mindless, but the act of taking some long article someone else wrote and cutting and pasting it to an OT discussion board is mindless. See the distinction?

Most of the ones you post, you don't post in support of "your" ideas, you just straight cut and paste them at the start of a thread. You don't usually express any of your own original ideas in your cuts and pastes, and if they do, they are so minor and unoriginal to the cut and paste content that your "ideas" are like the footnote.

Indeed.

Your opinion is noted.

*tweeeeet*

violation noted by the bandwidth police. A funny thread turned into another stupid pissing match.

You question my pissing ability?

not at all. no, really...no need to demonstrate

Good, because I assure you it wouldn't be much of a "match".

On Einstein's last birthday, he would have been 107.
Few people remember that the Nobel Prize winner married his cousin, Elsa Lowenthal, after his first marriage dissolved in 1919. He stated that he was attracted to Elsa because she was well endowed, and postulated that if you are attracted to women with large breasts, the attraction is stronger if there is a DNA connection. This came to be known as Einstein's Theory of Relative Titty.


it's all relative. SmileWavy

but do you use your super pissing powers for good, or evil?

I've never contemplated that, I usually just piss for one of two reasons:

Either to relieve my bladder or to win one of these matches. The good/evil ramifications never occured to me.

Umm, don't you get it. This thread is titled "Let's start with who wastes the most bandwith." It is now not only a thread, but a demonstration.

Kinda like Kramer's coffee table book that turns into a . . . coffee table.

That's what makes it funny.

Wow. This thread sure turned out differently than simply a bunch of nominations that I expected.

For the record:

I have never said anything negative about Fastpat. I simply stopped reading his posts a long time ago. I've never met him, don't know what he is like. From my limited knowlege of him, he comes across as closed-minded, and incapable of independant thought, and therefore, not worth arguing with. I hope I'm wrong about him.

I hope I have never said anything negative about anybody here at Pelican. I want every one of my posts to be beneficial to someone, either a bit of technical knowlege that I have learned from my mistakes, or maybe just giving somebody a chuckle, which is more likely here in OT land.

I enjoy the disagreements. It sharpens my thinking. But there has to be a two-way exchange of ideas to be effective. One of my favorite people here is Superman. While we disagree on several issues, we attack only the issues, and never each other.

The first time one of my posts reads "You're in idiot!", its time for me to quit posting, and examine my own thoughts. Or lack of thoughts.

I am SOOOOOOOO disappointed.

I thought maybe (from the first part of this thread) that FastPaste was finally gone. I stopped reading anythng he posts waaaaay back when he first got thrown off of some other forum and decided to come here.

Usually the title of the thread is trolling for comment. Like baiting sharks with blood.

I almost was ready to resurrect Singpilot. Oh well.

Goes without saying, FP was/is the biggest waster of bandwidth. The only people that read and reply are too weak to resist the bait. The majority here simply ignore him.

What forum was that?

If you could just remind me of the forum I was "tossed from", that would clear things up for me.

:D

ARGH! TOO MANY BIG WORDS... MY HEAD HURTS!

My feelings are similar about the same drivel from the apparent overwhelming winner of who wastes the most bandwidth. The aspect that shocked me the most was when he recently had posted a picture of himself - I was taken aback by what I saw. In all honesty I had always pictured this poster as a spoiled child that was just 20 years of age. My opinion is that his primary purpose is merely to provoke anger from the readers. I see very little content hence I do not read his incessant threads nor responses.

I would like to recognize an individual whom I have gained a considerable amount of respect for in the last month: Mr. Charles Kieffner. If you are reading this Charles, I want to publicly thank you for the tone of your recent posts.

The Cast (in order of appearance.)
M= Man looking for an argument
R= Receptionist
Q= Abuser

C= Complainer (Eric Idle)
H= Head Hitter


M: Ah. I'd like to have an argument, please.
R: Certainly sir. Have you been here before?
M: No, I haven't, this is my first time.
R: I see. Well, do you want to have just one argument, or were you thinking of taking a course?
M: Well, what is the cost?
R: Well, It's one pound for a five minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten.
M: Well, I think it would be best if I perhaps started off with just the one and then see how it goes.
R: Fine. Well, I'll see who's free at the moment.
Pause
R: Mr. DeBakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory.
Ahh yes, Try Mr. Barnard; room 12.
M: Thank you.

(Walks down the hall. Opens door.)

Q: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
M: Well, I was told outside that...
Q: Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
M: What?
Q: Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!!
M: Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!!
Q: OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.
M: Oh, I see, well, that explains it.
Q: Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor.
M: Oh, Thank you very much. Sorry.
Q: Not at all.
M: Thank You.
(Under his breath) Stupid git!!

(Walk down the corridor)
M: (Knock)
A: Come in.
M: Ah, Is this the right room for an argument?
A: I told you once.
M: No you haven't.
A: Yes I have.
M: When?
A: Just now.
M: No you didn't.
A: Yes I did.
M: You didn't
A: I did!
M: You didn't!
A: I'm telling you I did!
M: You did not!!
A: Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
M: Oh, just the five minutes.
A: Ah, thank you. Anyway, I did.
M: You most certainly did not.
A: Look, let's get this thing clear; I quite definitely told you.
M: No you did not.
A: Yes I did.
M: No you didn't.
A: Yes I did.
M: No you didn't.
A: Yes I did.
M: No you didn't.
A: Yes I did.
M: You didn't.
A: Did.
M: Oh look, this isn't an argument.
A: Yes it is.
M: No it isn't. It's just contradiction.
A: No it isn't.
M: It is!
A: It is not.
M: Look, you just contradicted me.
A: I did not.
M: Oh you did!!
A: No, no, no.
M: You did just then.
A: Nonsense!
M: Oh, this is futile!
A: No it isn't.
M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!

A: Yes it is!
M: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.
(short pause)
A: No it isn't.
M: It is.
A: Not at all.
M: Now look.
A: (Rings bell) Good Morning.
M: What?
A: That's it. Good morning.
M: I was just getting interested.
A: Sorry, the five minutes is up.
M: That was never five minutes!
A: I'm afraid it was.
M: It wasn't.
Pause
A: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue anymore.
M: What?!
A: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.
M: Yes, but that was never five minutes, just now. Oh come on!
A: (Hums)
M: Look, this is ridiculous.
A: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid!
M: Oh, all right.
(pays money)
A: Thank you.
short pause
M: Well?
A: Well what?
M: That wasn't really five minutes, just now.
A: I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.
M: I just paid!
A: No you didn't.
M: I DID!
A: No you didn't.
M: Look, I don't want to argue about that.
A: Well, you didn't pay.
M: Aha. If I didn't pay, why are you arguing? I Got you!
A: No you haven't.
M: Yes I have. If you're arguing, I must have paid.
A: Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time.
M: Oh I've had enough of this.
A: No you haven't.
M: Oh Shut up.

(Walks down the stairs. Opens door.)

M: I want to complain.
C: You want to complain! Look at these shoes. I've only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through.
M: No, I want to complain about...
C: If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother.
M: Oh!
C: Oh my back hurts, it's not a very fine day and I'm sick and tired of this office.


(Slams door. walks down corridor, opens next door.)

M: Hello, I want to... Ooooh!
H: No, no, no. Hold your head like this, then go Waaah. Try it again.
M: uuuwwhh!!
H: Better, Better, but Waah, Waah! Put your hand there.
M: No.
H: Now..
M: Waaaaah!!!
H: Good, Good! That's it.
M: Stop hitting me!!
H: What?
M: Stop hitting me!!
H: Stop hitting you?
M: Yes!
H: Why did you come in here then?
M: I wanted to complain.
H: Oh no, that's next door. It's being-hit-on-the-head lessons in here.
M: What a stupid concept.

no it isn't

Sorry, this is the "Whipped and humiliated" thread, not the argument thread. http://images20.fotki.com/v364/photo...on_whip-vi.gif The argument thread is here.

I haven't been reading this thread. Have I gotten the credit I deserve for wasting space here?

Hmmm, torture, eh?

Cardinal Ximinez: Cardinal Fang! Fetch...THE COMFY CHAIR!

(JARRING CHORD)

(Zoom into Fang's horrified face)

Cardinal Fang (terrified): The...Comfy Chair?

(Cardinal Biggles pushes in a comfy chair -- a really plush one)

Ximinez: So you think you are strong because you can survive the soft cushions. Well, we shall see. Biggles! Put him in the Comfy Chair!

(They roughly push him into the Comfy Chair)

Ximinez (with a cruel leer): Now -- you will stay in the Comfy Chair until lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven. (aside, to Biggles) Is that really all it is?

Biggles: Yes, lord.

Ximinez: I see. I suppose we make it worse by shouting a lot, do we? Confess, man. Confess! Confess! Confess! Confess!

Biggles: I confess!

Ximinez: Not you!

You've got credit here, now have a drink, Jack.

Don't have time to read the whole thing, but does anyone hate me? I can be pretty dense on these things. That is all.

If you need hate I think I can pinch a loaf of it for you.:eek:

I give a conciliatory vote to Sup and Speeder... even though I sure if we all got together for beers we would all have a great time.

Hey wait, look at the number of posts for those two guys... you really are a waste of bandwidth!

I vote for a Constitutional amendment for '07 - maximum eight line signature length for any board member...

I keep wondering why someone would be a really swell guy in person and a PITA on the internet and the only conclusion I can come up with is based upon a Carlin routine...."Ever notice that the farther away the guy is, the bigger an ********* he is?" Seems as if there are things we will say from a safe distance we would NEVER dare say to someone else's face, unless we were a maschocist.

gosh i feel so honored to be mentioned. actually my time has been taken up by work and finishing up with finals and graduating from NAU CUM LAUDE. i cant think of a better place to bide my time while being personally attacked and villified at the same time. i love it! the coolest thing is i can walk away from all the insanity, unlike others here.

but the best part..................I WILL NEVER PLACE A TRAILER HITCH ON MY 911.................! EVER!(patrick motorsports and i have been rolling on the ground for months now laughing about that one) all my vehicles WILL HAVE K & N FILTERS! and i know for a fact by working for PORSCHE, that a 911 targa with its top off ,WILL NEVER GO 165MPH+ and eat turbos! i only comment on topics that i am very versed on.

No. Not at all.

Print is the worst form of communication there is. It may seem like PITA in print, but if the same dialog ensued face-to-face, it would be a bunch of smiles. Print comes across differently than verbal. Body language is probably 50% or more of communication. Plus, one's opinion can't be fully expressed in this venue like can be had with face-to-face dialog.

I have been misunderstood more times than I can count in this venue....

I know a guy on another boat racing forum that I go on. On the forum he comes across as one of the biggest jerkoffs you could imagine. I hang out with the guy all the time. He is probably the one of the coolest, nicest guys I've ever known. The guy would jump in front of a train for you. But online, he turns into Dr Jekyl, I dont get it? Two totally different personalities. Sometimes we swear there is someone else using his name.

I think it is downright shameful how folks here can justify the remarks of a man who calls for the death of American troops because he is pleasant in person. Reportedly lots of serial killers were pretty charming when they wanted to be too...as were Hitler, Stalin, Saddam, and Jeffrey Dahmer (when they were not torturing people or small animals) that doesn't make them any less scum.

Right you are, Scott.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying... :p

I find the whole Internet BBS thing fascinating... whether we realize it or not I think we all develop an Internet persona that plays itself out on these pages. Add to that anyone can drop in here so we end up with collection of personalities somewhat like a loony bin - rich/poor/young/old/religious/atheist/conservative/liberal where in real life would you find such a group? Plus without facial expression, body language, tone of voice inflection the meaning of any expression is up for grabs.

I usually avoid political and religious discussion like the plague in real life but on the Internet sometimes I feel the desire to express my opinion on such matters, maybe because it's a safe place where if things get out of hand you can just walk away from the keyboard.

You must not have read the fine print, Jay. "No deposit, no return" :D

I would appreciate seeing, if you can cut and past it, where Pat called for the death of American troops. I missed that one.

Difficult to imagine isn't it?

Aparently true for some but hopefully not most people.
