Not This Thread Again

[Tharwen]

The "I don't get why everyone likes XXXXXX" threads are starting to annoy me now.

On a side note, how long do we think it'll be before someone decides that they're going to be so unique and make a "What's the big deal with MineCraft?" thread?

That person will receive my wrath. Minecraft is AWESOME.

I'll only get angry if they complain about the graphics. Otherwise, it'll probably be justified enough.

Any political tread where I see stupid generalizations about Conservatives. Especially ones that where people try to put a square peg into a round hole and say that all Conservatives are Republicans.

I'm man enough to admit that not all Democrats and Liberals are Socialist and Communist nutjobs,because not all Republicans are actual Conservatives.

There are Socialist and Communist crazies that hide under the banner of being Democrats/Liberals and Republicans/Conservatives.

The 'with a twist' threads.

Yes, I know i did one last week but i did it 'cause i was bored. \m/()\m/

 

[Darktau]

Am I the only one
Movie/book/anime suggestion
Relationship threads
Best/worst moments

Personally, I feel asking for suggestions/advice is ok on a forum, as long as it's not trolling

OT: The things I hate are the "Am I the only one/VS threads"

Well, actually, there was a really good one where a soldier from the United States Army answered all the questions he was asked. It was a really good thread.

As I have posted above, a few threads [footnote]Mostly from before the thing became a trend[/footnote] have been worth the read. Others however have a very mundane or common subject and the OP comes across as having a inflated sense of self worth.

True.

I, personally, feel that if the OP's post will not result in some new perspective or thought, then they really shouldn't post.

All the marijuana threads. It always ends in "weed is bad because *science*" "shut up man weeds awesome and your science is wrong"

 

[Ironsouled]

Faith in humanity takes the cake. At least the others mentioned are amusing occasionally.... those are just lists from failblog or made up BS.

Why all the hate/My problems with...

am i the only one who........threads

"Why all the hate/My Problems with..." threads always seem so whiny. And "Am i the only one" should just stop, and post it on facebook instead.

So you start a thread with a question relating to a topical subject. Through asking the question you show that you are in favour of/against the subject but you are directing your question towards those with the opposite viewpoint.

You then proceed to ignore reasoned debate, abandon thought and just continually restate your argument which proves you are so very very right. If you want to have a discussion, discuss. If you are certain of your opinion of something, leave it alone and stop baiting people with the notion you may be convinced otherwise.

You will not change minds unless you present a reasoned argument, taking into account flaws on both sides (and know your subject matter in thorough detail)

This sums up my thoughts perfectly.

I like the Ask a . . . . I always learn something new and random from them. They are pretty self-indulgent though. Damn you and your differing opinion. haha.

I've seen the worst of them though. I recall one that was literally "Ask someone from America a question". Because you don't get a lot of answers from America, that secluded country with such a limited population...

They are only there to boost the ego of the OP, the questions you can ask are limited and more often than not, especially in recent days, the defining characteristic that supposedly warrants the thread is not exactly defining.

I will admit a few have been interesting, for example, the undercover policeman one.

I see now. That Ask an America idea is terrible. I think I just remember the more interesting ones like the police man, and the borderline personality one.

And you're right too about many of the questions asked being ridiculous and are there just to make the asker sound edgy and sarcastic.

Weapon ones, zombie survival ones, I'm so damn depressed so Imma ask some people that I don't even know on the internet if I should kill myself, I'm too sad to ask so and so out. ALL OF THEM!

I hate those really smarmy, "you're a really great and special person" threads too. It's just embarrassing.

 

[Chronic42]

Those threads that people use as a diary of some sort... sorry some of us just don't care.

 

[Blind Sight]

The '*insert media here* is popular but I hate it so you must all be WRONG' threads.

Also the 'should marijuana be legalized' threads, mostly cause it just comes down to flaming and incorrect facts. We get it, some people like pot, some people don't, both sides need to shut the fuck up and leave each other in peace.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Hate threads.....nearly all of em......usually ones on the Politics/Religion Board

 

[InnerRebellion]

This thread you made just now, relationship threads, that fucking annoying guy that thinks this website is his blog, Vs (with some exceptions as you can have some good discussion in them), am I the only one, Best and worst moments, ... lost faith in humanity...

And once again this damn thread.

I honestly get tired of his threads.

Besides that...
I hate "Why do people hate/like _____ so much?" threads.

 

[Deleted]

The "am I in the wrong here?" I admit I've made a few though...

They're basically "talk about me" threads unless there's a real discussion going on.

I always thought it was a guy....nevertheless, I'm sick of that person.
