Alright people. Does this place really deserve its name???

[TopHatter]

Not really, no, not for most of the things you've listed. I still don't really get the afformentioned post's point.

I get it now, but it only applies if you are using WAB Light.
If you have a dark blue background, you won't see this option.

It's a button in the top menu that allows you to see at a glance all new posts that have been recently made.

It's a good way to pick and choose what currently active threads you'd like to participate in.

Well gosh dang, I'm obviously just far too obtuse..........................

[ArmchairGeneral]

Neither did I. I've looked around more, and I see that my complaint wasn't all that well founded, and while people do have a little bit of an emotional attachment to the subjects their arguing (which isn't always a bad thing) I generally like the attitude and posting styles of people I see.

Good to hear. I've been lurking on this board for about 2 years (just now actually registered) and the discussions tend to change greatly from week to week, both in volume, subject, and quality. I remember some truly horrific threads a while back, just went on and on, (I hate you, I hate you back, you're stupid, you lack the logic, nyet nyet, you're all f**king morons!, etc, etc, etc). It's a good place, with many well balanced people, and a few utter maniacs like me.

I think I'm already experiencing one of those...

No, you just could've worded it better. What was the point? Were you trying to call me stupid? mean? purple? what?

One bit of absolutely crucial advice: develop a thick skin, and quick. I mean bulletproof, fire proof...Sniper proof. LOL. No offense, Sniper. ;)

Oh relax and find yourself a non-military thread.
They're everywhere. Maybe not active but you can alway revive one.

Oh, but they're sooo much fun when they're still all soft and sensitive

Yessss, the tender little hobbitses are sweet and crunchable, no?

I think we might have made a mistake leaving the Shire, Pippin.

Keep making assumptions about me, buddy. I'm not rich, but I do see Hispanic immigrants mowing the lawns of the rich neighborhoods, and yeah, I think they deserve fair wages for doing so. Get over it.

ONLY if they BELONG here.

If they are here illegally, not only do they NOT deserve wages, they BELONG IN JAIL(or at least deported).

We'll pay them for making license plates, like we pay the rest of the criminals.

You do understand that commie or not, these people are CRIMINALS in WILLFUL AND FLAGRANT VIOLATION of US LAW.

Right?

Uhh... Who the fukk are you... thats my answer to this stupid ****ing thread....

[troung]

The dude is no "Nemisis", just another LOUD MOUTHED KNOW-NOTHING ELITIST LEFTIST MORON WHO PROBABLY COWERS IF HE SEES A BLACK MAN APPROACHING HIM IN THE STREET.(See, i can do labels too!)

But remember he believes "they" are good people, even if he would never invite one in his house over to dinner and he is "friends" with that African (Kenyan) exchange student he sits two rows in front of in math class and has never actually spoken to.

[Bill]

You take stuff way too seriously and way too personally.

You have no idea how right you are. Ask around.

And i would opine that if you go to any new locale and basically start out by straight away biitching about how dysfunctional it and the people that populate it are, you'll find that a lot of those people will be prone to get highly annoyed, and will therefore tend to treat you rudely as a direct result.

That's a life lesson for you, courtesy of WAB, free of charge. Use it well.

LOL...

But yes, i take things very seriously when i'm not busy being totally irreverant.

but quite frankly, that's not my problem.

It shouldn't be a problem. Because if you don't like this board, it's posters, or me, you can simply leave and never be bothered by us again.

I hate extremism.

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
~Barry Goldwater.

When you or any other concerned party realizes i REALLY BELIEVE THAT, you will understand what makes me tick a hell of a lot better than you do now.

I like extremists. They're a lot more consistent(and predictible, and therefore reliable) than someone that thinks the world is 85 billion shades of grey. Those people, you never know how the hell they'll react to any given external stimulus.

Me, you know what to expect with me.

As far as you not being a spoiled rich college kid living in a rich New Jersey neighborhood......if you want to prove me wrong all you have to do is call and arrange a face to face.

I DID give you my phone number.

Is that the same as me being friends with my downstairs negihbor Rasheed, a young black guy that has had an extension cord running from my ap't into his for the last month so he can have electricity(on my dime) because he can't afford to pay his electric bill, just because i like him? ;)
