message 451: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) Prove that we aren't all statistics.


message 452: by Christy (new)

Christy Stewart (christyleighstewart) I didn't say you were wrong Davis, for heaven's sake. I said you are pretentious.


message 453: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) How is saying something that is true pretentious?


message 454: by Christy (new)

Christy Stewart (christyleighstewart) Davis wrote: "How is saying something that is true pretentious? "

It's the way you said it.


message 455: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) Explain. (I'm really interested, I want to avoid sounding pretentious, because that's the last time I am.)


message 456: by Christy (new)

Christy Stewart (christyleighstewart) You're either siting AMA findings or spewing some starving poet BS like 'we're all statistics, all stereotypes'

Once or twice, fine, but time and time again it portrays a lack of a person opinion. It's easier to make generalized statements than say something real.

I'm not expecting you to say something inspired, you are only 16. I'm just saying, it comes off as pretentious.


message 457: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) Starving poet BS? More like sociology or philosophy. We all fit into predetermined structured groups arching down from human, to country citizenship, to religion, to ethnicity, etc.

Would you call all of that un-inspired?


message 458: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) "Well, although I find it slightly hard to believe you don't dislike me in the slightest, but thank you. True, I admit I simply read a couple pages of your comments and then made my opinion; it is true that just because that may be one side of you, it doesn't mean those are all the sides of you. So, I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to assume that I knew exactly what kind of guy you are. I don't know you, and you just may very well be different offline. I apologize. If you maybe just tried to be a bit nicer and tried not to... justify everything you say or do, then maybe people would like u a bit more. Hope this helps."

Thank you, that's all I asked. But isn't a good thing to be able to justify everything one does? Isn't acting without reason essentially 'crazy'?

I take it back, NOW you're being pretentious.




message 460: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) Your right, that was extremely pretentious XDDDD hahaha

However, your still being very smug.


message 461: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) I would love for that to happen.


message 462: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) I'm all good, and I have been. If you notice, I haven't even been saying anything mean.


message 463: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) I'm also leaving, good night.


message 464: by Christy (new)

Christy Stewart (christyleighstewart) Hey, it's a busy night. The Bachelorette reunion aired.

I don't mind not fighting, it should be easy, seeing as how Davis isn't here anymore.

Tomorrow?....Who knows...


message 465: by Christy (new)

Christy Stewart (christyleighstewart) I hope Davis and I can become more combative and still be best friends.

jeeves... | 306 comments i still say coffee....


message 478: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) I agree, coffee for sure.


message 479: by [deleted user] (new)

yeah, coffee's cool.


message 480: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) Or we could go with another wonderful topic like 'frostbite'

Groan!


message 481: by Clare D' Lune (new)

Clare D' Lune I liked frostbite as a topic :)


The only reason I've hesitated in using the ever praised 'coffee' for a topic is because it was used as a poetry topic way back when, but I suppose we can still use it....


message 482: by Christy (new)

Christy Stewart (christyleighstewart) I suggest sun stroke.


message 483: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) As in like heat stroke?


message 484: by Christy (new)

Christy Stewart (christyleighstewart) Much different.


message 485: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) Do explain.


message 486: by Christy (new)

Christy Stewart (christyleighstewart) I dare you to not reply to ONE of my posts.

Starting...NOW!


message 487: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) I've never been much for dares.


message 488: by jeeves... (new)

jeeves... | 306 comments hahaha...


message 489: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (djinni) sunstroke |ˈsənˌstrōk|
noun
heatstroke brought about by excessive exposure to the sun.

Notice heatstroke is part of the definition.


message 490: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) Not in Christy's world, she's a smug 24 year old, she decides what word means what.


message 491: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (djinni) XD


message 492: by Davis (new)

message 497: by jeeves... (new)

jeeves... | 306 comments yyyeah... some of the bits have been pretty shocking. :P but funny for sure, at parts...


message 498: by Davis (new)

Davis (davismattek) I personally enjoy the show alot.


message 499: by jeeves... (new)

jeeves... | 306 comments i enjoyed the warcraft one a lot. and some of teh bits i enjoyed too loudly for my own good, and had to act like i was asleep on our living room couch with the tv on science channel when my mom came out to see what she thought she hear. darn them for having their bedroom next to the living room, but thank the lord they're stupid...
i'm just saying some parts are slightly awful.
oh, but i remember most of an episode about rosie o'donnel which was frighteningly accurate and awesome...

wtf, south park rant? i need to go to bed...


message 500: by Clare D' Lune (new)
