A interesting term 'griefers'. But I like it. I have met them many times. My particular favorites are the ones that lurk on religion newsgroups and other forums spewing their rhetoric whether it be pro-abortion, evolution, anti-religion, etc. Cowards/terrorists is another good word as well. Sometimes though it isn't there a fine line between being a griefer and someone who is simply debating? I would imagine that for some, anyone who disagree

Every post of yours makes you look more and more like an ignorant idiot. Keep 'em coming! This, coming from the mouth (er, keyboard) of Bulby. Clear example of the pot calling the kettle black LOL Have not heard much Bulb in awhile, I guess he has realized no one cares.

Reply to Killing Yassin in International JoeUser Forums

They marched on Dublin Castle (British HQ in Ireland). I think some people died (not sure). The difference is that the target was not the peasants in the street. I'm using the song as an example of how martyrs are remembered long after their death. Sometimes they didn't achieve much in life but, as long as they die heroically, then they'll be fondly remembered. True, but Yassin did not die heroically for his cause, he enlisted youth a

Reply to Killing Yassin in International JoeUser Forums

First, I have never heard of Robert Emmet and I imagine that most have not. So his place in history is questionable. Did this Robert guy rebel against the British forces or did he attack British citizens as well? I would wager he was a bit more civilized than the terrorists. Second, it has been discussed many times the creation of a Palestinian state. I think it would be a great idea. But would it stop the violence? I think it is pretty

Brad: I understand the analogy very well, although blogs usually do not have a rating system that lets the reader know what is expected. As for the arrogance, I think that is a trait that most software developers have although I am not sure why. I am a software developer as well and my wife has maintained for years that I can be one of the most arrogant people around, in certain circles. This was especially true when I was younger, but as

Your honesty is appreciated. As one of those #4 fanatical religious types I usually try to avoid arguing against evolutionists by attempting to replace one flight of fancy with another. But just as irritating and somewhat of a variation of #5 is those that troll the religion forum to dispute the validity of religion, particular christian. One would think that in a religion forum various religious issues and topics would be discussed as opposed to th

[quote]If I were a conspiracy theorist, which I am not, I could argue that Bush has arranged for private oil companies (with which he would, of course, be associated) to assume control of the Iraqi oil, in which case they would control even more of the world's supply, in which case they could collude to drive the prices even higher.[/quote] Well now that you mention it, you see there is this group called the illuminati that controls the world, and

Reply to Why do people hate America? in Politics JoeUser Forums

France hates the United States because France is a wannabe. Hate is a strong word, I think it is more envy and jealousy. They do recognize their position and what the US has done for them. At my previous company there was a Frenchman from our Paris office who was visiting for a couple of weeks. One d
