Firstly, it's spelled GRAMMAR you . - That was just a little joke for ya.
Secondly, I don't really care what anyone's opinion is as long as they express themself in a respectful manner. I worry about the dumbing down of the human race. People who spend all of thier time insulting strangers at a distance will eventually fuel anger on a more personal level.
Newbie-sch-mewbie man. If someone says something stupid feel free to disagree. If you feel the need to insult his mother or brother or sexual preference go ahead. All you do is lose the respect of the other posters.
I dont know if i agreed or disagreed with what you said??? I'm confused? I just wanted to say what I said!
: if you came over to my house, and we had a discussion, and at the end of it you had nothing to say so your big retort was: "well your grammer sucks so you are an idiot", you would get your ass kicked just on the principal of the thing. by everyone around. a "grammer" insult in reality is like saying "oh yeah well same to you". stupid.
: there was a time when names like "asshole" and "fuckhead" and "faggot" used to be big insults. with the internet there is a much worse term. one that causes even the highest of the high to tremble at the thought of being called this name. "newbie". in reality this would be like someone insulting someone else for partying all weekend and getting laid, while they stayed home memorizing the middle name of all view askew cast members. often the "newbie" is also "young" so all you are doing is insulting a kid. way to go. in the end, its just another name, and name calling is silly. the last resort of a weak mind.
: anyway, just food for thought.
