Why Nerds are Unpopular

[Ben Kenobi]

I found it an interesting essay.

Well, I didn't. And calling me an idiot because I didn't enjoy the article makes me think you are a leftist too.

None of what you post is ever a revelation, or even true.

And you wonder why we would disagree on this article. I'm shocked.

[Asher]

Well, I didn't. And calling me an idiot because I didn't enjoy the article makes me think you are a leftist too.

I called you an idiot because you called the author of the essay a "leftist artiste" when he's a PhD in computer science and the article was devoid of political discussion.

And you wonder why we would disagree on this article. I'm shocked.

I don't wonder. I know. The reason we 'disagree' on the article is twofold:
1) It's well-established that you cannot read, so we know you did not read it to begin with
2) Your characterization of the article was so absurd it shows you've no ****ing clue what's happening in this thread

If you "didn't enjoy" the essay, then don't keep posting about it. I'm sure you can manage to keep yourself busy beating off to Priest erotica, which I hear is a burgeoning market right now.

Right. You might want to read the article again if you think it was devoid of political digressions.

You are spending an awful lot of time trying to debate an article you both have never read and don't like.

Is it me? Is it my eyes? Are you attracted to me? Is the flaming you get from me the only visceral thrill in your pathetic life? Do you spend your entire day waiting for me to talk to you?

[Ben Kenobi]

You are spending an awful lot of time trying to debate an article you both have never read and don't like.

First, I read the article in full.

Second, I spend most of my time dealing with things I do not like. Mostly in the realm of thoughts and ideas. The man's a disciple of Neitzsche. You can hear the echoes of it throughout the piece.

Why do I spend time on these folks is a good question. I have dealt with them for many years and it is one of the most destructive philosophies that anyone can cobble together when pursued to its logical extension.

No, it has nothing to do with you. I would have said the same had it been anyone else here who was so persistant in their advertisements.

I wish they had just told us outright that we were savages and our world was stupid.

That's a 1 count.

they want to have as little to do with the prisoners as possible

That's a 2 count.

Though notoriously lacking in social skills, he gets the right answers, at least as measured in revenue.

One would presume that Carlos Slim has the 'right stuff'. That's a 3 count.

I felt like an explorer witnessing some bizarre tribal ritual.

That's a 4 count.

The whole place was a giant nursery, an artificial town created explicitly for the purpose of breeding children.

That's a 5 count.

but the whole world we lived in was as fake as a Twinkie

That's a 6 count.

Are Mongol nomads all nihilists at thirteen?

That's a 7 count.

I mistrusted words like "character" and "integrity" because they had been so debased by adults.

That's an 8 count.

[Asher]

Good ****ing God.

A twinkie reference = political reference. Jesus ****ing Christ.

[Riesstiu IV]

Yeah, time is a *****

Speak for yourself. Looking back at my Junior High pictures, I see a weird looking kid with hair bordering on the fro-ish side, mild acne, and braces.

[Asher]

And now you look like a jewish actor I can't place.

[Wiglaf]

So this is what marriage has become. A "legal/tax issue." This is not the America our fathers grew up in.

[The Mad Monk]

White socks

No, that's being Japanese.

[Asher]

So this is what marriage has become. A "legal/tax issue." This is not the America our fathers grew up in.

Correct. It's Canada.

[Riesstiu IV]

And now you look like a jewish actor I can't place.

The only famous people I have been compared to is Sylar from Heroes (all I can see is similar looking arched eyebrows) and a young Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

[Asher]

No, you definitely look exactly like some other actor. I can't remember where he's from though.
