Eets Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Frankly, I've grown tired of coming to this forum only to find about 15 threads dedicated to the latest news story or political entropy. If people want to see the news, let THEM go to CNN.com or ESPN.com or ComedyCentral.com If you find a humorous news story, then fine, you can post it. But as for all these bloody news stories, knock it off! I'm sick of em! The off-topic is a place to get away from life, not read more about it! WHO'S WITH ME?

Kvan Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 *wakes up from 5 month nap* Nope, sorry eets, I'm not with you! This is an Off-topic forum! This is just the place to talk about whats going on in the news! Its great to here what other people think about whats going on in the news from other Countries and the like. So if you're tired of it, ignore it (don't know how many times I've heard that on other message boards ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 i'm withya...sorta but the thing is, today, we aren't just a bunch of people talking about GB, we're more of a bunch of old dudes, sitting around a fire, drinking beer and talking about today, and the old times "political entropy"....very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eets Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Well, it's not their opinions that get me, it's that they post the story and/or a link to it, and practically nothing else. It's about as useless as a can of beans to an amoeba.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you're tired of it, ignore it (don't know how many times I've heard that on other message boards ) HOLY CRIPES!!!!!! Is that Kvan?! A nap? Don't you mean Hibernation?! You going to hang around a little longer this time, Kvan? Oh and Eets, even though I tire from everyday political news, It is an off-topic board, so I would say let them discuss teh news if they so desire.

Eets Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Yes, but you see that's half the problem! There's no DISCUSSING! It's just a link to the story! It's like the off-topic board is becoming a page of links! This thread is really just a well-conceived plan to bring Kvan back to the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Ah, but I'm not linking. I'm copy/pasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Stryphe Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Perhaps the linked to story coincides with the poster's views and the poster is simply awaiting a rebuttle from a forummer who's own opinion differs? By all means then, let's debate this until kvan comes back to stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eets Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Then they should at least say that they want a rebuttal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Stryphe Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Perhaps the rebuttal request is inferred, and some forummers are just not intuitive enough to pick up on the subtleties or simple nuances that may be attatched to such a post!
