When people of any age think it's alright to say whatever the frak pops into their head. In the middle of class. While someone else was talking. AND THEN you decide that because of your age it's ok and use that as the reasoning behind your verbal attack on the class and then have the gall to complain about ageism. That really grinds my gears.
And no, it wasn't the prof it was a student in a grad program.

For me, it's being trolled and spammed; yet I'm the only name to be called out on it. Let the trollers troll; regulars, keep your mouths shut.

Dude! That was meant to be funny. I guess I forgot to include the smiley.
Also, nobody here let's trollers troll. As soon as I log in, the trollers get banned. You have no idea how many threads have been deleted in the last month!

Was it kidding for real? Ok. I stand correctified then. I thought you were a bit mad.
My mistake! :-D
-
Have you ever seen me mad? :-D
I'm passsive agressive!

Graduate students usually think they're better than the rest of planet earth.

Some yeah... for this woman it wasn't even that she thought she was better than everyone just that she never considered anyone else's feelings or opinions to be true in any sense if they were not the same as hers...hopefully the last couple weeks have been illuminating for her.

Evonus, you're all right man. I'm glad I only banned you that short little bit. :)

Ouch...I'm too dim-witted to know if that's aimed at me, but I'm sensing MUCHO hurt there.

I meant no offense. Don't take most of what I say seriously, unless its in the political opinions topic, or I'm arguing with BizB.

Don't worry. It looked like he made a self inflicted wound to me. :w:

I agree wholeheartedly, and would like to add that it is even more annoying, nay, downright frustrating when even despite evidence contrary to the narrow-minded viewpoint, the holder of such a viewpoint still wishes to judge those whose views run counter without merit, and not only show themselves in a negative light, but also misrepresent the views they hold and indirectly indict all holders of such views. This is most common in debates concerning religion (or the absence of, as there are quite a few unreasonable atheists as well), and it really is a shame that narrow-minded "my-way-or-the-highway" types exist that steal the spotlight from reasonable debaters.
What is especially frustrating, however, is when these types of people hold power enough to impose their narrow beliefs upon those who hold principles against such beliefs.
My gears have been sufficiently ground, and a recent argument that I had brought this frustration to the fore. I know many reasonable Christians, but this guy made me doubt their existence temporarily.

Sorry, this just caught my eye.
What is an unreasonable atheist? One who concedes the possibility that he is wrong, or that a theist is right about the underlying forces of nature?
Then he is not an atheist.

I meant there are those out there that would use or threaten violence in an attempt to persuade others. An appeal to force, since it is a fallacy, is a departure from reason, and so the offender could be considered unreasonable. I'm using "reason" to describe the process of appropriate argument and persuasion instead of describing the concept of logical thought. "Non-reasoning" probably would have been a better word to describe my point.
-
Oh, I get it. They're screwdrivers.
-
Because, you know, I would argue that atheists are "reasonable" by definition, and those who accept the possibility of anything supernatural are not.
-
Oh, don't start this shit again...

I'm bored, and I haven't seen Xanadu.
-
Neither have I, but I have heard the song about it.
-
Hey, I had dinner in Toluca Lake on Sunday night.
Japanese.
-
You should both see Xanadu.
It's enough to scare you both straight. I'm completely serious about that.

You always seem to go to places that are close to where I'm at. It's a wonder we haven't bumped into each other yet.

Hooray!

It's bound to happen one of these times.
I'll have a pink carnation in my lapel.

So it's like Tough Love?

Did you know that I own that movie? It happens to be one of my favorites.

I get to witness this every week from the same person. This person seemed to have been shown the error of her ways, but alas, she insists that (while we accept her point of view and passion for the topic) we are wrong. That we know nothing because we disagree. For her it all goes back to agism, and it doesnt matter if agism is relevent to the topic at hand or not.
