The reason you see more moronic threads like those on the other forum is because the total number of users (and, in turn, morons) is higher, but the ratio/percentage is the same.
and morons here are banned pretty quickly.

Yeah... good comparison.

When you dropped out of high school to work at Pizza Hut, did they promote you right away to Assistant Manager or did you have to work your way up?

Ha, are you talking to me?

Not a high school drop-out, nor did I major in political science or Communist theory in college. Just picked the first Communist country that came to mind to make a silly, innocent comparison.

While this forum may be slightly lacking in number of morons compared to M.net, we're certainly not left wanting for acerbic wit, eh?

Oh, great Loki, what is it you do for a living that allows you to so readily divine my past while simultaneously making back-handed insults to my intelligence?

I think what I do for a living is around here somewhere, but its not what I do that makes me better than you. I am better than you, period.

Your moronic comments give me right to insult you. Check the forum rules its in there somwhere. If its not Ill add it in and then make fun of you.

i hear the new degree is not called "political science" now. It's "political intelligent design"

You have it all wrong. First of all, we all CHOOSE to be here and if we don't like it, we can leave.

Personally, I find most bulletin boards frustrating. I don't find this board frustrating. I think the problem with most boards is that the admins have the wrong philosophies. They have good intentions, they want to be benevolent and nurturing without realizing most people on the internet are entitlement minded whiny ------s. Then their board gets language filters and many threads are locked and posts are deleted because they just don't want to hear people bitch and moan about how offended they are. It becomes a bunch of touchy-feely bullshit where it's better to be nice than be right.

In the case of this forum, Philip doesn't give a **** what you want or think. This does not work for 80% of the stupid ***** on the internet. But we don't want those ******** here anyway.

Make sense?

I agree with most everything you've said, J, the thing is, I don't hate this board at all (although the near-constant M.net-bashing gets old), I just don't appreciate dicks insulting me.

Make sense?

I'm happy for you and your ego. Cheers!

Whatev, man. Have at it, as I don't think you'll find I've said anything particularly moronic. But feel free to edit my post to make it look that way if it helps stroke your ego at night.

I guess so.

Man, when this forum was smaller, I swear it wasn't quite the room of bickering kids that it's become at times these days. It's like middle school all over again: kids throwing unwarranted insults, as if they're just itching to start a fight.

Oh well...

I think the solution is you need a turbo miata.....and don't part it as soon as it's built this time.
