Muggles !!!!! Ostriches with their heads in the sand.....

Ok, I personally hate Harry Potter, but it was the only term I could think of to describe those mundane folks who don't congregate here on sites like ATS.


I'm sick and tired of getting the typical canned responses to ideas like.....



Really? You're going to eat that seafood? Don't you know what's going on in almost all of the oceanic waters?

"Well, if you just start eliminating things from your diet and your life, what will you be left with????"

Really? You let your kids go swimming in that crap?

"Well, they're kids! You can't stop kids from being kids, now can you?"

Really? You believe the Government when they say [insert anything they've said in general here] and that they give two sh*ts about you or your loved ones?

"Well, they're our elected officials! If you don't like the current administration, you need to get out there and do your part by being patriotic and exercising your God Given Right (henceforth known as "GGR") as an American and use the SYSTEM to vote them out of office!"




I could go on, but it would go a little too far into my personal beliefs and stir controversy by getting folks arguing over whether my perceptions on those topics are "correct" or not, when the intent to this thread is that there are average things the average idiot in the world simply turns a blind eye to.

Cognitive Dissonance


I'm done with it. I say we round them up and clean out the gene pool.

Doing all the things I have done for a living and or hobbies and not ever having had a 8 to 5 job, for a few years now. Has left me calling most people Muggles for quite some time.

Most people are just not all that imaginative.

I disagree with a lot of people here, but I value the opinions of those same people. I know that they are at least trying to pay attention and not just going with the heard of other sheep. Stupid muggles! Oh and I loved harry potter dammit! Lol

DO I like you because you value others opinions? Or do I CULL YOU FROM THE GENE POOL through chemical neutering????


Decisions...decisions...

Life is SO DIFFICULT !!!

So you have the nerve to threaten someone who doesn't agree with you? Sounds like you need to not only deny ignorance, but also deny arrogance.

Add me to your list of challengers. I don't agree with your assessment that those who disagree with you opinions are "muggles" or sheep. You're wrong on so many levels sir/ma'am.

You, friend, have no idea what you are talking about.

Second, I made absolutely no threat whatsoever.

Third, think of me what you will........que sera sera....



ALSO....for those who may not have a functional understanding of the word "RANT"....


RANT...the definition of....



Oh...and btw....last I heard...we're all allowed to have our own ideas and thoughts....regardless of whether you agree with them or not.

I was simply stating things that strike me as common sense that routinely get what I consider to be ludicrous responses by the average American Citizen who lives in a state of sleep walking zombification. Waving their flags which are now considered weapons, and being so Politically Correct that it's even causing teeth to rot and fall out of their mouths.

So, agree, disagree. It's all good. This is, after all, a RANTING forum.

Right ?

Ironic, that your rant is about a critic unwilling to do anything about it.

When you place meet and discuss in quotations, it implies an alternate meaning.

I have no issue with you "ranting" (see how I used quotations there?), but you should have no issue with a counter argument to your "rant."

When you place meet and discuss in parenthesis, it implies an alternate meaning.

I have no issue with you "ranting" (see how I used parentheses there?), but you should have no issue with a counter argument to your "rant."

I "said" what I "said". I did "not" "say" what I did "not" "say".

Would "you" care to "discuss" this "further" perhaps "over" "a" "nice" "cup" of "chamomile" "tea" ?


Oh, and you feel good and qualified to tell me what I should rant and vent about? Wow. You're cool. I wish I could be more "like" "you".


Tada!

I'm a critic because I feel that the oceans are unsafe to eat from let alone allow people to swim in, and people are uninformed about it enough to disagree with me? And I'm a critic because I'm frustrated over the typical response I get to it?


"Ooooooookayyyy".......


Also, you might benefit "by" scrolling up a few posts "and" reviewing the link "I" provided to Merriam Webster's definition of the word "RANT".....

What the hell people!

The Rant Forum is about ranting.

Sensible debate? pfft!

I once ranted about ranting about rants that someone ranting referenced during a thread that was another rant.

Now I want everyone here to chill out, get drunk, and pass gas in public elevators.

NOW!

"Debate" ? Are you THREATENING ME ?

"RANT"? Is that codeword for "whipmebeatmemakemewritebadchecks" ?

And most horrifically....

"pass gas"......are you somehow referring to my ex wife??????


I dare say, Sir, put up your dukes!!!!!

well, in any case, what do you expect? they're probably not going to put a lot of thought into a response when you put them on the spot like that.

Apologies.

Ummm, no.

Just, NO.

I expect people, born with brains, to USE them. I have no sympathy for those that do not.

Read what is going on in the world. Don't parrot. Don't do it "because if you stop doing everything, what will be left to do?".

Think for yourself.

If you don't, not only do I not have sympathy for you, I don't have much in the way of respect for you either.


Stupid people....NOT MY PROBLEM. I "merely" "proposed" a "solution" in "my" "RANT".

Is that "so" bad?
