This NG is a hoot!
I've never seen so many old cranks in any other NG. What is even more
interesting is that one can discern from the posting time of responses that most of you old mos must spend a large part of your day posting to this NG. I guess being on "disability" give you a lot of time and posting here gives you something to do. It's pitiful, but entertaining. Is anybody here under 60 years old? |

Whacky Zacky, what age group are you in and how many nyms do you use? When I was a young man, I did get impatient sometimes with old folks until I realized I would be in that situation someday. Because of that, I was never mean to old folks and the disabled. As a matter of fact I did what I could to help them when I saw they were having a problem getting around and I continue to do it even though I'm disabled myself. Up until a few years ago, I could carry their groceries for them but now I can at least hold a door for someone who's in a wheelchair or using a walker which is something I've had to use before. Whacky Zacky, you're quite the pyrogenic posterior sphincter as proven by your attitude and disrespectful behavior toward the aged and disabled. I would tell you to consume excreta and expire but in your case, that would be akin to cannibalism. I have my doubts that you'll survive to reach the age of me and many of the people who post to this group due to the unhealthy habits and addictions you share with those of your ilk who are some of the nastiest cretins I've ever met. Whacky Zacky, I don't think you'll make it to 60 and you'll be lucky if you reach 50. I certainly won't be around to witness your decline into poor health and what will probably be dementia because of the brain damaged caused by your consumption of recreational chemicals and your inhalation of the toxic byproducts of combustion from several plant species. It's very satisfying to me to know that you won't reach the age of those you disparage and treat with so much disrespect. Karma is a bitch ain't it? ^__^ TDD |

| I've never seen so many old cranks in any other NG.
I have. I find the crowd here to be mostly intelligent and courteous. Many of the tech groups I've visited have a high population of what I'd call unsocialized geeks, who tend to be mean-spirited, close-minded, and barely literate. I recently decided to check out philosophy groups, but ended up dropping them because even when someone posted a coherent, interesting post, most discussion tended to degenerate into "atheist mania". (I never knew "atheists" were such an irrational, steamed-up bunch. They hang around in the philosophy groups, awaiting any opportunity for a bilious outbourst about their inflamed belief that they don't believe anything. | Is anybody here under 60 years old? I am, but just barely. I find that an interesting point. I think the people in most newsgroups are mostly older. The baby boomers know the Internet as a public information and sharing medium. Younger people have grown up in a commercial culture. They spend their youth in commercially owned shopping malls and live their social lives hosted by corporate service companies like Facebook. For the most part, these are people who have no experience of citizenship in any part of their lives. They know themselves and others as "consumers". They go online to "consume" services from Facebook, Foursquare, etc, in lieu of a social life. I find the whole thing both fascinating and scary. Newsgroups are a simple, text-based conversation medium that can provide help in almost all areas of life, yet their "unofficial", non-commercial nature -- the fact that the participants pretty much make the groups what they are -- makes them virtually invisible to people who live as consumers. And what about you? Surely you must have something *useful* to contribute? Are you handy? Do you have skills that might be helpful to others? Do you need any help with handyman issues? |

I think they're worried they'll get beheaded if they insult Islam. Of course they can disparage Christians all day long because they know that Christians won't kill them for insulting Christianity. o_O TDD |

I'll agree with Mayayana on that. Don't tell him I said this, but one of the exceptions that Mayayana may be referring to is a fella that posts under different aliases, but mostly goes by the name "HomeGuy". You may find him hard to get along with because he seems to enjoy denegrating America and all things American. From what I've been able to gather, he feels his justification for doing so is that in 2008 the US Housing Mortgage crisis almost destabilized the world's banking system and sent a lot of national economies into a defensive mode whereby they stopped trading in US mortgage-backed securities with other national economies for fear their economy would be damaged too. Personally, I think this is very unreasonable of him because no one in this forum had anything to do with that mortgage fiasco, and if anything, the Americans in here suffered as much if not more than he did because of their property values plummeting as a result of the glut of empty houses that flooded the real estate market at the time as a result of people not being able to meet their mortgage payments. It would be like the Americans in here blaming me (another Canadian) for the fact that Justin Bieber was speeding through the streets and avenues of Hollywood in a rented Lamborghini. If it was up to me, I'd take that toy away from him, but it isn't up to me. Similarily, it wasn't up to any of the Americans in here to sell teaser mortgages to people that couldn't remember if they had a job, and if so, where they worked. And, that was pretty well what caused that mortgage fiasco; the US selling US mortgage backed securities world wide when they knew that the mortgages weren't worth the paper they were printed on. Still, the Americans in here were as much victims as anyone else in that regard. You can usually tell HomeGuy's posts because they start off citing something some American did somewhere which is deplorable in one respect or another, and he then claims that such behaviour is typical of what to expect from Americans in general. For example, if some Yank chops the head off a rooster and leaves it's carcass in the street to rot, then it's the Americans IN HERE that he holds accountable. But, don't tell HomeGuy I said that. We'll just keep it between ourselves, OK? Last edited by nestork : May 15th 14 at 09:55 PM |

They are sitting home after a six year bender called college, where they came away with a degree in ancient Greek pottery, and are waiting for an answer to the two resumes they sent out asking for $80,000 starting pay with benefits and retirement. They can't weld, they can't tell you the wrench size between 1/2 and 5/8 inches, and don't know a #2 from a #3 Phillips screwdriver. Lucky for AAA or we'd have many thousands of deaths each winter from their ilk freezing to death after sitting in an idling car until the gas ran out wondering what to do about a flat tire. Talk about pitiful? And you are definitely are entertaining, too. Getting several twenties out of your pocket for a repair job that took me less than fifteen minutes actual work time. Or thousands for a simple sheetrock or tile job. Now, go check, and make sure you closed the basement door, and be sure to remember where Mom hid the secret key for you in case you get locked out.

I guess being on "disability" give you a lot of time and posting here gives you something to do. It's pitiful, but entertaining. Is anybody here under 60 years old? You want answers? That's who to ask. Not the little twenty-something geeks who live in Mom's basement, have their nose plastered to a game box, and whose hearing is gone from wearing ear buds at max volume. They can fix nothing. They just buy another, or better yet, let Mommy buy it for them. They are sitting home after a six year bender called college, where they came away with a degree in ancient Greek pottery, and are waiting for an answer to the two resumes they sent out asking for $80,000 starting pay with benefits and retirement. They can't weld, they can't tell you the wrench size between 1/2 and 5/8 inches, and don't know a #2 from a #3 Phillips screwdriver. Lucky for AAA or we'd have many thousands of deaths each winter from their ilk freezing to death after sitting in an idling car until the gas ran out wondering what to do about a flat tire. Talk about pitiful? And you are definitely are entertaining, too. Getting several twenties out of your pocket for a repair job that took me less than fifteen minutes actual work time. Or thousands for a simple sheetrock or tile job. Now, go check, and make sure you closed the basement door, and be sure to remember where Mom hid the secret key for you in case you get locked out. Steve Good one! I wonder if the key is chipped? Ya think the GPS is on in the phone so mommy can bail them out? -- Tekkie |

I never heard the word shart until a few years ago, and never thought I'd be old enough to do it. Thinking it's a little fart, and it's really a quart of liquid under high pressure will sure put you in a socially uneasy situation. Steeve |

Well, it had to happen, that someone reduced the quality of the NG a bit. I'm remembering a secret ops project called "Who, me?" during world war two. Hmm. Not sure if I still have the book that mentioned that. I think it was an OSS project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Me Amazing, it's on the web. I thought it was targetted to Japan. -- ..
