Oh, god, you've got to be kidding me.

Did any one call "Sociological Experiment" yet? 

It really is amazing, isn't it?  Step 3:  "It was all a sociological experiment.  You're acting just the way I want you to."


Why do these noobs have to be so predictable?

Except, that isn't what I said.  That would be you, pushing your round expectations of what you think I mean, into the square hole of what I actually said.  I said I am being entertained.  This is true.  Not an experiment, (except I suppose in a "trolling to see what happens" kind of way) just a rant with some rather entertaining responses.  Are you telling me you aren't entertained?  Then why are you still posting here?

Again, work on reading comprehension.  You seem to have a lot of trouble with it.

This shit, what the hell is it?

"Hello, welcome to our home, please, make yourself comfortable"

"Okay!" (shits all over everything).

This douche nozzle has some unresolved anger issues, an inferiority complex, and/or teenage hormonal angst issues.

More like, "Okay!" (shits all over the toilet)

This is the Rant section.  I didn't come storming into the cute fluffy bunny section talking shit.

And yes, I definitely have anger issues.  This comes from being a skinny little shit in real life who wants to beat the hell out of many of the brainwashed fucking idiots I encounter, but can't because I would be pounded into a pulp and/or end up back in jail.

In fact I am starting to think that people who don't have anger issues or depression in this day and age with the shit going on in this world either aren't paying attention or lack the mental capacity to understand what is going on.

Hey, man, it's okay. Some people just don't get it. It's not your fault. I blame society, or the parents, or something.

S'funny how he says he want to "beat the hell" out of the "brainwashed" idiots, but he's done little to distinguish himself from the other shit flinging monkeys.

Keep it coming! Your pathetic rage gives me a big Buddha belly laugh.

I don't feel the need to justify or distinguish.  Perhaps I will some day and will make the effort to do so.

I wouldn't call it rage though, as I am quite entertained IRL from this thread.  Which is why I am here, so it's working out so far.  I'm not one of those types that gets angry in real life over some stupid crap by some anonymous person on the internet.

big Buddha belly laugh.  I like that.  I get an image of Jabba the Hut going HOH HO HO HO!

they?  I assume by they you are referring in a general sense to a certain group or type of people.  Which is no less asinine then the type of thought process my rant was about.  I represent nobody but myself, you ignorant fuckwad.  I am a singular individual, not a representative of whatever group or type you arbitrarily decided to string me with, based on a single rant in a section specifically for rants.

No, actually, you're just the latest in a long string of useless tards and potheads who tramp in here with a bone to pick with The Good Reverend Roger, a need to suck his e-dick, and some cause to pimp out at the same time.

99% chance of poptard, 1% chance of actual useless pothead.  Just saying.

I didn't "tramp in here with a bone to pick", I posted a rant in the fucking rant section.  Get over it.  If it bothers you that much, go hang out in a more friendly section of the boards.   I signed up because all of the bullshit around here is entertaining.  First impressions might have me pegged as whatever the hell you make up, for the short sighted among you, so I suppose I can understand that my first thread being a rant in the rant section got this kind of response.  I guess I over-estimated the amount of common sense around here and assumed people could take a rant for what it is... a rant.  Verbal (well, literary) masturbation, as I mentioned at the beginning of the OP.

Ah well.

Call me unoriginal and boring all day long if you must jump to character conclusions like an old jaded cop, but when/if you get over your own clique-loving mutual masturbation long enough to consider the actual content of the rant, you might just realize that I have a valid point.

Content of rant = You're a stoner who fiddles about with computers, and is feeling a mite defensive about it.  Not sure if that rates as validity, really.

Ha, work a little harder on reading comprehension buddy... were all the hints and the multiple outright spelling out of the overall attitude I was ranting about too subtle for you?  Perhaps you should re-read the title of the thread.  Then re-read it again.  Then hang yourself.

You're calling out The Good Reverend Roger for making an error in reasoning by using anecdotal evidence over hard fact.  That's fine.  You then go on to use the anecdotal evidence of yourself to make your point.  Did this not occur to you or are you just not subject to your own standards?

Ah, an intelligent reply.  Thank you.

It did occur to me, yes.  Frankly, the point would be more difficult to make without that sort of hypocrisy, but you are of course correct.  I just see people going on like that way too often.  Kind of how I see a guy on here peeved when people call themselves "mad" or "insane" as if it's a cool thing to be.  It is far too common among people who consider themselves intelligent to make the sort of claim that their specific experience with something is the epitome of all experiences in that vein, when the truth is often far from it.

I used to do rants all the time, and I tell you, they were miles better than this.

Oh?  How about elaborating your generic useless little critique?

I mean seriously, you fucking dimwits, I give a rats ass what your judgements of me as a member here are, especially when you're basing them off of one thread in the RANT section.  It's a fucking rant you douchebags, of course it comes off as an angst-filled attack.  That's what a rant IS.  If my intent was to impress anyone, my post would have been quite different, and in a different section of the forums.  I was getting some shit off of my chest, and not a single person made a relevant comment on the substance of the rant itself.  Which I suppose in it's own way is a complement, as none of you holier-then-thou retards had anything of substance to say in response that is any less generic then "my rants are better tee hee".  Call me unoriginal and boring all day long if you must jump to character conclusions like an old jaded cop, but when/if you get over your own clique-loving mutual masturbation long enough to consider the actual content of the rant, you might just realize that I have a valid point.

There's an old saying where I'm from, known only by the oldest of us.  Fortunately, I'm still young, so I don't know it yet.  But when I grow old and this gem of wisdom spontaneously appears in my memory banks, assuming my memory still works after that many years of pot smoking, I'm going to come back here and throw it IN YOUR FACE, FUCKER!

...IPTUOUS IS TERRIBLE (serious Ippie we're still cool).

Too late!
my butt!
it is hurt!

Of course it is, poor, sweet, innocent Ippie...

IT'S FUNNY YOU MENTIONED LEFT OUT AND SHUNNED, NIGEL, BECAUSE I ASKED HERR TRIX TO DO THAT ONLINE HOROSCOPEY THING HE DID WITH IPTUOUS AND HE DIDN'T.  HE JUST KEEPS TALKING TO IPTUOUS.  WHY IS HE EVEN TALKING TO IPTUOUS?  IPTUOUS IS TERRIBLE (serious Ippie we're still cool).

IT'S NOT FAIR, EOC.  WHY ARE WE BEING NEGLECTED?

Because they're scared speechless of you both.  A few moments of lurking would uncover how terrible your wrath can be...

Well, it'd also uncover the fact that walking into this forum, e-peen waving like a teeny, tiny flag, posting "look at ME, look, I'm a horrible cunt, TOO!" will get them soundly scorned... but, well, just shows you who doesn't bother to take the temperature of the pool before leaping into the deep end.  Some might surface, others...

Well, it's good we've got a good filter on the pool.  (We've gotta, just to deal with the shed back hair...)

I did look up EOC, and you are correct as to why I haven't started that fire as of yet.  It might take me awhile to gear up enough to attempt that much fun.

As for "your mom".  Well, your "I want some attention too plz" bait simply wasn't as attractive to my mood as Iptuous.

Speaking of Iptuous, yes, you are correct, I did state that clearly.  And then I responded to your mild insult with an offer of friendship.  TAKE THAT, BITCH!

Luna, while my responses ITT weren't intended as e-penis waving attention whoring so much as RL frustration venting and my own way of testing the waters, I can see how it appears that way.  Twas mostly my mood after hours of calculus homework though.  Either way, however, I don't see this sound scorning you speak of.  In fact most of you seem to have taken my attention whoring rather well, all things considered.  Which is a bit disappointing, as I was rather hoping for some heated cockfights.  Ah well, maybe I should fuck with EOC after all.  But damnit, his prior posts show him slinging words like some kind of literary Roland.

Anyway, what the fuck kind of a nickname is "Your mom"?  That shit was mildly clever back in the beginning of IRC when people would change their nick to Your_mom so they could /me some funny emotes, but years later with bash.org making sure it's old for everyone now, it's unoriginal and fucking stupid.  And your attempts to draw attention to yourself are far more blatant then mine, you all-caps-using special-olympic bandwagon riding moron.  Besides, my reply to you WAS me taking a shot at you, you just didn't give me much to go on.  Perhaps I was too subtle?

i lack the requisite personality or nuts.

the creative writing comment was a compliment, you should get over your butthurt a little quicker buddy.  I did try to make it clear that I am offensive and insulting on purpose and for no good reason.

perhaps if you stick around, i could learn from you.  but i'm guessing, based on what i've seen so far, that i'll have to be a quick study.

Oh buuuuuurnnnn.

Don't you worry, my eloquent friend. I'm fairly certain I'll be around for a long time.

oh no! an alpha male. 
i prostrate myself before your wicked lashing of my unfortunately agreeable nature.

One thing life has taught me is that assholes finish first.  Which is also the name of a hilarious book I read once.  I do try to avoid acting like an asshole, but I enjoy talking like one.  It amuses me.

Linguistically, I love the way you worded that sarcastic bit, for some reason.  Do you do creative writing, by chance?

- trix

no.
yer a pretty common type that comes here.
in fact, with the number of posters just like you coming here over time, i wouldn't even say you pass a thematic turing test.
you're just a bot for all i can tell, honestly.

So I was bored, and your post didn't give me anything to attack you with, so I dug deeper into some of your past posts, and came to realize that I was unable to find anything even remotely controversial, disagreeable, or ballsy, in any of your previous posts that came up in my short little search.  And you say I fail the turing test?  Every post shown in the 'last bunch of posts' link on you has you pretty much agreeing to everything, apologizing for something, and throwing in a bit of mediocre wit or random pic now and again.  Grow a fucking nutsack, dude.

I would expect someone that says I could be a bot, to have shown some fucking personality himself.

You know, for just a split second I got my hopes up, only to have them dashed cruelly. Once again, they come out of the woodwork to gnash and fap over Roger.

Why is it never me? 

they?  I assume by they you are referring in a general sense to a certain group or type of people.  Which is no less asinine then the type of thought process my rant was about.  I represent nobody but myself, you ignorant fuckwad.  I am a singular individual, not a representative of whatever group or type you arbitrarily decided to string me with, based on a single rant in a section specifically for rants.  I did not "come out of the woodwork to gnash and fap" over anyone.  I decided that since I am new I should post some content and get something off of my chest at the same time.  If your reading comprehension was above that of a child, you might have understood the part where I specifically mentioned (multiple times) that my rant was at a thought process in general, and I was only pointing out a specific post as an example.

So there, your attention whoring was successful, and I have granted your wish.  Are you happy now, dickhead?

EDIT:
I should probably mention that I made this post under the assumption that trolling is allowed here, based on much of the posts I've read elsewhere on the forums.  I personally don't get riled up or offended from the internet (because, it's the internet), and if you do, well, be sure to make a long reply crying about it.  For entertainment purposes.

[everyone]

Warning, this rant is simply vocal masturbation. Also an attack on a forum member who is probably a moderator or admin or respected member or something.  Probably a ballsy move for a brand new member making his first topic and non-intro post I suppose.  Luckily for me, my balls hang to the floor, and more importantly, I don't give a shit.

To preface, once thing I often see from people who think they are smart (which, to be fair, everyone seems to secretly believe they are intelligent, regardless of evidence), is they often assume that because they have experience with something, their personal experience is not only typical of everyone, but makes them the authority on anyone who fits that mold, and forget that a person can only speak for themselves.

My case study in this rant, is a guy (I think his name was The Reverent Something or something, but that could be a mistake, don't care enough to go find the post in question) who made a claim I often hear from people, in a post somewhere, possibly a very old one, about pot heads.

This guy stated (and I'm paraphrasing from memory) basically his belief (as if it were fact) that anyone who smokes pot daily is a fucking moron or something, and that because he used to smoke a lot, he knows that a person who smokes often has a lower intelligence or something when compared to other people.

Ok, first, "other people" are generally so fucking stupid and media obsessed these days that compared to them my dog is fucking Einstein.  Second, speak for yourself, buddy.

I hear things like this all the time.  The general thought process behind it, regardless of specific subject matter, is foolish by itself, but in regards to something so seriously misused and misunderstood as marijuana, is outright retarded.  Now, I'm not calling you retarded, whatever-your-name-is, just the thought process that led you to make an asinine post full of generalizations like that.  I've seen other posts by that guy (yeah, I lurked for a couple hours prior to registering) that I agreed with and were generally pretty intelligent, if a little condescending (a trait often possessed by the intelligent), but this post was pure bullshit.  Now, I'm not saying this because I'm a daily smoker that doesn't fit his generalization (though, I am), but moreso because I know quite a few others that smoke like I do, in the responsible way I do (I did like his part about responsibility when using drugs, in fact), that also don't even come close to fitting his description.

I'm no typical pot head.  In fact, even the people I meet that are the very epitome of typical pot head, upon getting to know them better, always end up surprising me.  From my own experience, I don't believe there IS a typical pot head, just smokers with mild identity issues and too much TV making themselves appear to fit the stereotype.  I have long hair and a thick beard.  This makes me awesome.  How that's related to what I'm talking about, I don't know, but I'm starting to get bored with my own rant.

My point is this.  I work hard all fucking day long.  When I come home, I don't enjoy de-stressing after my day by stopping at the bar and/or cracking open a beer.  I make some munchies and work on open-source software or learn something new.  Or, I go to the nearby woods and climb trees and see how high (as in distance from the ground, no pun intended) I can get.  I don't smoke to the point of retardedness, I catch a buzz, and take hits as needed to maintain the buzz as long as I need to.  I've met more people who have a very similar smoking pattern to me, then I've met who stay high all the time and let it make them stupid.

Weed aside, my point is mostly about the thought process that led to the post, though I've mostly focused on the specific example of weed. 

By the way, I'm helping linux newbies in IRC at the same time as typing this up, so if my mind wanders deal with it or ALT+F4.

I see many people say things like the post this rant called out as an example.  "I once did heroin and got addicted so I know first hand that all people who do heroin are or will become addicts."  "I started smoking weed and it led to my crack addiction so I KNOW that weed is a gateway drug."  Or even, "I spent ten years in prison (or saw xxxx show on TV) so I KNOW that everyone that isn't super strong gets raped in prison."  Your prison was not my prison, dumbass.

Anyway my time is up and I have shit to do so rant over.  If this offended you, good.  Get some thicker skin, fucker.
