The Letting Off Steam Thread

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Honestly, I don't care about "what happened in another thread", you've just been being an idiot in your posts.

And come on, you're the one who said "it's [just] a forum" a post ago.
And doesn't that make u sound very smart

Heh, and I've never claimed to be.

You're American right? You're from an affluent town. I expect you to be able to present yourself as if you have some level of education.

People take you seriously and respect you more if you sound and act like you deserve it.

So u think i'm so educated cuz u see my location at allen,TX. I'm not from allen,tx. Born and raised in Natchitoches,Louisiana. Thats why my name is NAC-XF. I'm not sayin i'm not educated, but when i type i don't need to grammar check, and spell check everything a type.

No, you don't. You should just naturally do it as close to correct as possible. (Darko knows my grammar and wordsmithing is far from perfect, but it's understandable.)

So you're from a college/retirement/tourism town and now you live in a fairly upper class town. Yeah, I expected you to at least manage to acquire some sort of education from the school systems in these locations. (I'm also assuming you're still in school and not an adult, because that would be even worse.)

I guess I shouldn't expect people to try and make themselves look smart to gain respect of others. Apparently, being dumb is "in" thesedays.

I really dont think its that hard to type like you have some sense. Think about it, half of these numbskulls actually learn to type like theyre idiots. I have a 16 year old sister, and every time she texts people, she leaves the vowels out.

example - i dnt rly wnt 2!

Honestly, who the fuck comes up with this shit?


But yeah I dont think I could look at a girl the same way after I've plugged up the duece. Just couldn't do it. :oops:

See now was that hard?:applaud:

But still, what is the point, its not like the message cost any less to send because they were being so considerate.

People who dont think they need to spell out every single word are the reason Dubya is still in office. They didnt think it was necessary to vote either.

It's a public forum for people all over the world. Some have trouble trying to understand what the fuck you're saying beacuse english is not their natural language. You should keep that abbreviated language for MSN.

You know what's annoying? When a really hot girl types like that.

i dnt no wht we cd do 2nite

Well...sure as hell won't be doing much, you twat. Give me headache before going out, thanks a bunch.

I mean as shallow men...we put up with a lot. I really force myself to listen to her inane ramblings and uber dumb comments solely because she's got some of the best tits I've ever seen. But jesus, how much can you put a person through?! :x

Moral of the story? Type like a human. Leave the douchebagging to people like Borat.

Talking and writing is totally different. Sure, go ahead and abbreviate and spell shorter, and you're still going to end up looking dumb. It's simple. When you can't spell a simple word, it communicates "dumb." When you abbreviate, you may come across as juvenile and lazy. Don't you find the following statement pretty dumb?

"i c u 2!!1! ROFL LMAO LOL BBQ! Fo shizzle 2 ma hizzle biatch. me go drink w/ m buddiz 2nite n t.p. m neyborz crib lolz"

Still don't? Ok, let's put it in a different context. Say you wrote with that kind of grammar for your teacher. Think your teacher would be impressed? Do you think anybody would be impressed?

It's crazy how there's a huge flood of young people typing like that. It's not just a bad habit, but how the fuck can anybody read what is being said?

Hell yeah, you end wasting more time trying to decipher that bullshit...
That's fine when using chat programs because you usually communicate one sentence at a time anyway, but it gets old real fast on a forum like this one.

uh...cy, what does that actually mean? Your going to barbeque in your neighbour's crib? Should have followed what el badman and not waste time deciphering it...

But really. I don't get why people write like this in a forum. Do they think it's cool, or what? It's hard enough reading one sentence of that, but a whole paragraph? Oh, and not all young people type like that.

Muahahaha, I laugh at you. (Was that obvious enough?)

Society of today has just forced themselves to believe that love will make your life different. What makes our delusional minds think that, "with love", our lives will get any better? How? Why does everyone believe this? Sure the first few times it's all nice and romantic and dandy and shit, but then what? Then you get used to eachother and suddenly you're just tolerating one another.

Fuck that, flirt, fuck and laugh. Stop tolerating. You're bored. Finish it off. Move on to the next one.

(Don't listen to me, that stupid twat is still running around in my head. Damn it.)
