What I Learned From GD
Contrary to common belief, it's not actually neccesary to disagree with someone in order to have an argument with them. It's possible to be perfectly vicious while still saying nothing that actually contradicts them. Instead, the two people can simply exchange a long series of non-mutually-exclusive facts, followed by increasingly rude and grade-school-esque insults.
An example of such an argument may go something like this:

Person1: Mangoes taste good.
Person 2: America invaded Iraq.
Person1: Terrorists kill people, stupid.
Person 2: You idiot, America trained Osama Bin laden.
Person1: Cuba is an island, so go fuck yourself.
Person 2: Island? Look, you chauvanest pig, high heels are uncomfortable.
Person1: What are you saying? If you're going to be so irrational, I'm putting you on ignore.
Person 2: Fine, then, just hide from the truth: There weren't any WMD's!
Person1: It's just like you to bring up WMDs, you backstabbing bitch. But you know damn well that E equals M C squared.
Person 2: Deleted Message
Person1: Deleted subthread
Person#3: Wait, what?
Person1: Hey, Mr. 3, stop defending the patriarchy!
Person 2: Oh, great, now of course THREE shows up to spew their bullshit. CINDY SHEEHAN'S SON IS DEAD!

18. OMG hilarious
Yeah that pretty much sums up GD. Nice touch with the "deleted message" and "deleted subthread." It ain't a real flamewar until there's been a deleted subthread.

43. It was either a clever satirical addition or an unwitting confirmation.
Edited on Wed Aug-22-07 03:21 PM by jobycom
Either way, it may be the funniest follow-up on the thread! :rofl:

37. So am I
And I was making a funny, too. That's exactly how I once got a response in GD when I complained about some of my less evolved co-workers.


P.S. I obviously should have used the "sarcasm" smilie.

30. The cool thing about GD is that they never rip on the Loungers, like you all
rip on them, behind their backs. I guess that means that they have more class. :shrug: You Loungers actually post flame bait to egg them on and then you come to the Lounge and gloat about it. How very mature of you. :shrug: Oh and how about another mutual admiration pic thread, just to boost your egos. :rofl:
