I have been long an advocate of bringing the Strong Smarm when someone isn't within throttling reach.

Bonus points for reaching the level where sugar won't melt on your tongue while you lay it down.

You guys are assholes.  I don't expect you to be ashamed of yourselves, but I'm surprised there isn't at least one decent regular on this board to call you out.  ching chong wing wong dummy?  If that isn't smug self-satisfaction I don't know what is.

Well excuse me for expressing the idea that aspects of your culture are less than ideal.  That will happen once in a while in this world, you know.  Your reaction to it is pathetic.  I guess it's no accident that your culture has some of the issues that it has.

It's not you guys being rude assholes that offends me.  It's your ignorance.

If a simple and straightforward criticism of some aspect of your culture automatically registers in your mind as smug self-satisfaction, and your initial reflex is to denegrate the speaker, then you might be just another dumbass American.

Funny, the post that spurred that pap was written by a guy who, as Lecturing Knight (the motto of which is Brotherly Love) and head of community service and lodge activities committees is going to run thousands of dollars and hours of charitable contributions into his community this year.

man, you sure do love talking about this shit. also, I don't see how his post had anything to do with your post. I think it is reasonable to say "maybe the iPad is a huge waste of energy and resources." that is probably a true thing. that has nothing to do with your charity-doing whatever.

I also don't think "ching chong wing wong dummy" is smug self-satisfaction. It doesn't even make any damn sense.

In short, though, I don't need no damn iPad.

I got too many shiny distractions.

Ain't nothing you can do on an iPad that ain't cheaper and easier to do split out over three or four other devices that I've already paid for.

youre a dumbass american because you speak of "your culture" as if youre so far removed from it.  getting ass-hurt because of opinions?  come back to the internet when you get a stronger, more legitimate sense of self-worth.  your cocky, more-charitable-and-sensitive-than-thou attitude is lame, dogg.

You guys are assholes. 

Yeah, and...

So, the subtle method doesn't seem to be working.  I guess you need it spelled out for you. 

Look, this is a message board where we talk about cartoon cats.  You know nothing about how I feel about the issues you've brought up because I haven't chosen to share that with you.  There are myriad places on the internet to discuss the sorts of issues you seem to want to discuss.  Generally that's not what we do here. 

This is not a serious place.  Go be serious somewhere else.

Choop, that is like the neutron bomb of cute pug pictures.

[Asherdan]

man, you sure do love talking about this shit.

What, less than a dozen posts in almost seven years? CortJstr it, buddy. And what are you known for posting about?

Hoser.

[jay-ell]

Get a room, you guys.

That would be telling.

That's right y'all don't be arguin and carrin on about yer intalektual airs round here it's unseemly is what it is

no, I don't believe that you all don't discuss this sort of serious stuff around here.  You do from time to time.  You're just all assholes who are really set in your particular world views, and you don't want to open yourselves up to any kind of of criticism or even different ways of thinking.  And you got the group a regulars here, Jayell and whatnot, and you all support each other in your bid to maintain a clique of isolated and hillbilly ignorance in your world view.  No offense meant to hillbillys.

Sorry if my original post didn't come across as licking your vag1nas just the right way.

it's too bad the internet is so small that this is the only place to visit
