I'm on my way out the door this morning, but I couldn't leave without commenting upon this:
Stinky The Clown (56,112 posts)
7. That is silly on its face
DU is a place where people comment on current events.
A reasonable number of those people are also able to walk, chew gum, and think simultaneously.
A reasonable number of them, in turn, can consider and discuss the day's news while still able, will, and ready, to discuss larger issues.
Now granted, when it comes to lifetime experiences and actual accomplishments, the sparkling old dude is a cut above the average primitive; he's been around, he's done some things.
However, surely the sparkling old dude sees how ridiculous he's being--although he might be being funny on purpose--no, most primitives are
not able to discuss things competently, nor are they multi-skilled enough to walk, chew gum, and think all at the same time.
Primitives tend to be downright stupid--either born mentally-retarded, or willfully ignorant--and their opinions and comments on most things aren't worth the bandwidth they use. And they're even much less worthwhile reading.....and taking seriously.
