Why do most people talk so much rubbish and present it as gold?
 

There is a poll on the way. As usual.

Personally I can only think that they do it because they're shit. And I'm not.

Insecurity and the need to fit in. I know.

It's all about the ego, innit?

It's all about the 'post quick reply' button. Maybe we should all be rationed to like three posts a day, and only one thread a week.

I wish I could vote more than twice (this applies to many things).

I didn't mean people on the internet, for that it isn't voiciferous activity, therefore it's not irritating all that much. I was just wondering.

Airheads always seem to say so much, and mean so little.

The whole 'talking a lot = saying little' thing is not necessarily true. I have a few friends who talk more incessantly than I do, and they talk at you rather than to you, but that doesn't make them any less interesting. It's a tricky one that we've got here.

Some people just say whatever comes into their heads, without any sort of filtering process that decides whether or not it's worth saying. Women tend to do this more than men, in my experience.

you tell me porkmarras.

Oh, look! Jonboy's being bitter again!

since when did asking a question become being bitter?

Just realised what you did.spelt his name back to front.haha.

Wonder if thats what he meant?

How long did it take you to work it all out in your mind?

It's the internet. Isn't every statement or question liberally sprinkled with a gooey coat of bitterness?

And, in response to the question of the thread: Mr Marras, people are not talking rubbish and presenting it as gold - they do genuinely object to your general, unwavering and inxeplicable support for whichever far-right organisation is 'hip' in gay-land this week.

I hope no-one saw that post before I edited it. How embarassing.

^^^Are to referring to Joerg Haider's "Bummenschaft" movement? Or was that last week's in-thing for the pooves?

Aids-flavoured vodka is more fashionable than Nazis this coming season. That and fireworks that you can insert up your bum.

never in real life, always on the internet.

that's my motto and I'm sticking to it.


when it comes to humans, I think that I just don't know.

We're talking about Brian, right? :D

it's the old alchemical transformation

Some people say too much out of insecurity, some people say too little out of insecurity.

Some people say too much out of over confidence, trying to bombard you with their righteousness, some people say too little out of arrogance, and a belief that silence = significance and depth.

Some people say loads because they have loads to say, other people say little because ... and so on.

Take people not for how MUCH they say something, but what they say, and the way they say it. That'd be a far better judge.

Anyway, you're all gonna have to excuse me; I'm off to write a 500 word reply on a thread about Kim Deal's ankles.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for.

Happy Labor Day!

hahahaha, good one.

those wacky alchemists...always trying to turn shit into gold

the bush administration have done it.

they talked loads of rubbish and made some gold.

"you are excrement, you too can become gold"

Meeting self-styled intellectuals in pubs can be one of life's more wearing experiencies, especially if all one's after is an evening of quiet pint-supping and the chance to talk total crap.

All the most intelligent people I know (mostly women, it's worth noting) enjoy nothing more than an evening of getting pissed and talking 'bums and willies'. I have a theory (yawn) that you're not truly intelligent if you can't talk puerile bollocks. Very possibly something that's only true on this side of the pond.

I get annoyed when so-called intellectuals put down the regular folks.

One man's crap is another man's crap too. Case closed, and so is the pub.

I get annoyed when the so-called 'regular folks' put down the intellectuals. Potatoe, potatoe etc.

Because every subject is rubbish! :D

Well I do get annoyed by that too.
