[Australis]

Really? Those?

All the bad things can be boiled down to two things, and in their extreme forms are, and have to be, absolutely intolerable in any civilised society.

Greed.

Cruelty.

 

[Captain Intrepid]

Realizing I actually wasted my time clicking on this thread to hear a spewing of biased disgust. Leaving a snarky comment helps though.

 

[MANT!]

How about reading self -impressed threads that are very shallow in mindset...

 

[JNG]

If you think Mac OS X is one of the worst things in the world, you sure haven't seen much of the world.

 

[Hermiod]

If you think Mac OS X is one of the worst things in the world, you sure haven't seen much of the world.

Or Mac OS X, for that matter.

I just skipped his ridiculous list and started laughing at the fact that his avatar is a pair of blue balls that says "only comes once a year."

 

[Cicero]

Greed.

Cruelty.

Indifference.

Greed.

Cruelty.

But Gordon Gecko says Greed is Good...

Best laugh of the morning!

Thanks!

And that went well for him, and indeed all of Wall St, as of right now.

Yeah, and indifference.

 

[Niorah]

And ignorance.

 

[Australis]

Utterly correct, don't get me started about ignorance (it's the primary reason I can't stand "Australia's favourite show", Kath & Kim).

These things are more relevant than anything in the OP post.

 

[Niorah]

^ I like to think the OP was probably tongue-in-cheek for most of the entries in the list.

But then again I am naive like that.

You're not naive.

 

[judge alba]

think you missed out racist abuse been on the fall out of them many a time

 

[Canadave]

Wanting to respond to a whole whack of things, but realizing it's not worth the time, effort, or inevitable flame war...

 

[msbae]

Yeah, I wonder why I forgot about that... Racism practically destroyed my hometown with the 'White Flight' that happened after desegregation was enforced in the 1950's and 1960's.

Wanting to respond to a whole whack of things, but realizing it's not worth the time, effort, or inevitable flame war...

I won't flame you.

 

[Canadave]

^ Fair enough, but I still probably shouldn't respond. I'm a left-leaning Canadian, and you're obviously a right-wing Southerner, so I think we're so far apart in many of our opinions it's barely even worth bringing 'em up.

Wrong. I am an independent southerner. Like President Washington, I think that Political parties are Bullshit. Also, I think my opinions would be the same regardless of where I live.
