poll: are the primitives funnier when.....
« on: July 19, 2014, 08:56:58 AM »
You know, I usually avoid "General Discussion" on Skins's island--unless hoping to reap something worthwhile from a particular primitive--because it gives one a headache, listening to primitives who have no idea what they're talking abut.

All their yip-yip-yap about economics, politics, religion, society; they have no idea.

It's like a bunch of little kids discussing nuclear physics.

On the other hand, the primitives do at times know something about something, which wheat from chaff can usually be found in forums other than "General Discussion."  But even if they know something about something, they still get it wrong in the end.

Not only having put the cart in front of the horse, but unhitching them too.

Heh! You're still a poet, Coach! A better description of DUnderheaded DUmpster Divers I have never read! I just posted I was surprised they could even tie their own shoes!

I went with they know what their talking about. Because as coach said, they still draw the wrong conclusions. It is like they are deluding themselves.

I can`t remember one time when the stupid shits knew the slightest thing about anything so for me that eliminated the first option so picked the second.

I chose  #2, when they don't know what they're talking about. Thought it was most of the time. Their tiny little brains, small minds, clouded eyes and clogged ears, y'know.

Well, remember, there are some experts among the primitives.

BainsBane, for example, when it comes to being top-heavy cumbersome.

Anyone one wishes to know about gaiety, ask Wills, the William769 primitive; he knows it all, but little else besides that.

And there's NJCher, a pro at exotic unaesthetic cuisine.

Or Judy grasswire, who knows who did in the red round one.

Can't decide.

They're definitely funny when they don't know what they're talking about.

But when they do know what they're talking about, like how to apply for welfare or how to scam the system to get freebies, that can be funny, too.

Definitely, when they don't know what they're talking about, but it does give one a migraine.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

To paraphrase what a fellow once said, " it's not so much what they don't know that worries me, it is what they know for sure that just ain't so."  Amazing how so many of them stay up all night studying for a drug test.   :hammer:

I haven't noticed that the primitives are commemorating today, the 45th anniversary of Vast Teddy's tryout for the Olympics swimming team.

It's odd that they'd miss a Kennedy anniversary.

I like them better when they 'think' they know what they're talking about but clearly don't.
