No

It has no relevance to any political debate.

Who cares what they look like. Ad hominem attacks on their "wisdom" is perfectly acceptable though :-)

Rude people suck.

That's never stopped you.

Yep, I'll admit honesty is occasionally considered rude.

reply
BattleB... to JoeBtfsplk 2012/08/11 21:58:27

So is hypocrisy Joe, not that you would admit it.

You must enjoy pointing out other people's faults?

reply
BattleB... to JoeBtfsplk 2012/08/11 22:15:18

Just as much as you do.

Do you ever get out and enjoy life? Speaking of life, what are your accomplishment YTD?
I'm in Bali right now getting ready to travel to a remote island in the Mentawai chain off Sumatra for a month of surfing.
Remember to enjoy every day!

So you take your computer on holiday with you. That's beyond sad Joe

I'm a photographer too wise guy, I need it to send you things so you will understand there is more to life than your mommies basement.

BattleB... to JoeBtfsplk 2012/08/11 23:09:07

There's more to life then hanging round on here when you're meant to be taking pictures. Your life isn't that great Joe, not if you choose hanging round here to doing whatever it is you claim to do.

reply
JoeBtfsplk to BattleB... 2012/08/11 22:59:06

More likely what really is sad is your life. I'm guessing you have never done anything.

reply
BattleB... to JoeBtfsplk 2012/08/11 23:08:28

Nope. My statement was spot on.

reply
JoeBtfsplk to BattleB... 2012/08/11 23:09:36

Being full of yourself must bring you great satisfaction.
Get out more often.

reply
BattleB... to JoeBtfsplk 2012/08/11 23:12:06

Speak for yourself Joe. Only an utter moronic idiot would be on here rather than out in Bali.

reply
JoeBtfsplk to BattleB... 2012/08/12 21:23:00

Yeah, good try. I spent the day surfing and photo-ing Uluwatu. What did you do?
Ever hear of multi-tasking?
Vacations aren't necessarily sipping umbrella drinks on the veranda.
Only an utter moronic idiot would decide what other people should do on a vacation.
Seems you fit the bill.

BattleB... to JoeBtfsplk 2012/08/12 21:56:59

That makes two of us then Joe.

Occasionally

I do sometimes if they attack me based on my age. I fight dirty if someone pisses me off.

Ad hominem is rarely acceptable or relevant, in the civilised world.
