well obviouly you should check on the dictionary for that word for obviously you dont understand what it means. IRL you must be something like this:

So, you're claiming that "lately" CAN NOT be the previous days? Seriously man, maybe you should have a look in that dictionary, not me... Like Genedril said, it's not for you to decide the meaning of the word.

Some1 - Hey arethir how was your day?
Arethir - Selfowned! ( reminded me of boom headshot series )

Rofl. Hm. What can I say. Really hit the subject straight on there! Was excactly how I used it. Had nothing to do with CM missing = hibs/mids have their own relics and most of the keeps! Nothing at all, I promise!

Dear idiot forum user, the word lately does not apply to today or yesterday. it is a date wich envolves the recent times wich can either be 1 min ago or the last 2 weeks for example wich was when i checked last time while paying rent. So before throwing shit like your some kind of last action hero i advise you to google the meaning of them.

How the hell can you say lately applies to 1 min ago, but not yesterday? If 1 min ago is lately, then so is the couple days before! And really, who gives a flying fuck what "lately" means and does not. Because you did not use THAT word in the post I'm referring to, now did you? You said "after they moved", and that's pretty much every second that goes by now ain't it?
However, thanks alot for not yelling at my mom, really appreciate how you're so good at not throwing alot of personal insults around :D
(And throwing shit? You said that the fact CM was missing did not make a difference, and albs still had all the relics and keeps? I have proof they ain't! So you've got to be mistaken then...? And by making this your main-point, you just own yourself. Hereby, selfowned. If that's throwing shit, then I'm very sorry, it was not meant in any such way. I apologize. I did not mean to have a go at you, I was simply trying to get the msg forward; "what you just said, contradicts reality". And again, hero?!? Because I prooved you wrong?! I only repeated what was previously shown in a different thread...)

Are you dumb or just pretend to be?thank you for proving my point in your post i really do. Just proved that im right and your dumb, what can i say?

Thanks again. Very constructive mate!

PS: Always so fun when the other part of the conversation runs out of contructive things to say, and starts arguing about the meaning of words and backing it up with alot of personal insults! Ace I tell ya!

Dear Mr. TT Member, why waste your breath on hot air?

Because I have hope. And I truely believe that people can't be that retarded. I believe the reason people get into these things are personal grudges and misinterpretation/misunderstanding. So just explain it well enough, without all the insults flying around (sorry for all the cursing in my last post btw! got me a little upheated with the insults all over it) and everyone should be able to be friends and agree on most matters. Or at the very least agree to have different opionions, when it's not a fact, but an opinion being spoken.

Ok, let me put it in another way. People who understand how to log onto daoc, or FH, and manage to actually write on a keyboard, can't be that retarded. They'll understand 1+1=2. Maybe you have to explain it in a way they understand, and elaborate as to why 1+1=2, but they'll understand it in the end.

And yes, my pretend world is really nice :D I love living in it! You should come visit one time, and we'll take a ride on the swings and laugh real hard about some bird we see sitting on the ground, when it could of been flying.

Can I come too?? I promise to be nice.

I agree with you about people, the majority of people aren't stupid. It's all in the way that things are explained to them, you need to find how they best recieve information & use that & put it in terms that have meaning to them. That's how people best communicate rather than shouting at each other (which isn't actually communication).

Well.. I guess, if you brought some pie.. Then sure!

On a sidenote, I must say though, that maybe some of my statements in this thread was a little wrong. If Sorin is the CM representative on FH, maybe they do deserve all the whine they get. He's doing one hell of a job to make people dislike him.

I'd personally say that a members actions wouldn't be enough to effect my opinion on all members in a guild. The only thing that got me thinking of late were his comments in another thread; I know I wouldn't want to play a game alongside someone like that.

First of all, you're twelve.. and even if i was a big fuck i could easily kick your childish ass.

Dumb motherfucking jew.

Go pray to your god.
Oh i forgot!, you can't cuz i killed him, i cut his fucking head off.
What ya gonna do? you're fucked.

Fucking degenerate ass cream eater.
Go hit a pillow.

What the fuck are you on about. I haven't seen one single possitive thread from you ever.

And that makes me wonder if you're the fat fuck without a life.

Fucking smegma cone.

You worship rat shit, motherfucker.

For your own sake shut your asshole, untill you can let something else than shit out.

Fucking degrenerate, go dig up your dead grandma and fuck her in the eye.
And then bury yourself in her coffin..

May you get aids and cancer in your fucking brain.

Nah, I was more thinking in the lines of.. he is CM. Seeing the rest has left. And with an attitude like he's shown here, he should of been kicked if he aint the only one left. His language is just... Well you've seen and shown it yourself.

And yes Genedril, that sounds nice :D Just meet me out by the big chestnut tree next to the river, I'll be there fishing the next couple of weeks.

Withnail and I said:
Marwood:
Just bring out the cake.
Withnail:
Cake and fine wine.
Miss B:
If you don't leave we'll call the police.
Withnail:
Balls! We want the finest wines availible to humanity. We want them here, and we want them now.

Though I can only cook fruitcake tbh, I don't do puddings. I'm already going to have to learn to cook pies so I can join Arethir under the chestnut tree (though I'll be passing on the fishing).

No one can mention cake without someone quoting Withnail & I, although I may allow an Eddie Izzard cake quote in absentia.

Eddie!!! said:
Cake or death?"
"Eh, cake please."
"Very well! Give him cake!"
"Oh, thanks very much. It's very nice."
"You! Cake or death?"
"Uh, cake for me, too, please."
"Very well! Give him cake, too! We're gonna run out of cake at this rate. You! Cake or death?"
"Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry..."
"You said death first, uh-uh, death first!"
"Well, I meant cake!"
"Oh, all right. You're lucky I'm Church of England!" Cake or death?"

Shouting at each other is communication (even if not the one I prefer) and actually the majority of the earth's human population is damn stupid. It's pretty damn obvious why also, just check how a few rule the rest for example or how many read tabloids.

Communication is a two way process, that rarely occurs when people shout at each other as they generally ignore each others point of view; ergo it's not communication.

Just because people read tabloids doesn't make them stupid, illinformed yes though that's not stupid. They may very well have the mental capacity to process a much better quality of information. The dumbing down of the media in general just means that the quality of information available is much lower than it should be.

I think I prefered quoting about cake though - much less mentally taxing!! (Who was just complaining about dumbing down... doh!! Does that qualify for self-owned?)

Well, just have a look at the ammount of people in the world actually believing that the axis didn't kill jews in particular during WW2, and insists that the work-camps etc like Auswitch is made up by the allies to put themselves in a better light. Now, THAT is insane imo. They should try and have a chat with some of the people that actually experienced the war. Though maybe they'd still not believe it... Who knows.

Anyhow, yes Manisch, loads (most) people are really thick. But like Genedril said, it's all about information. The russian news tell them America just blew up a russian city, why should they not believe it. Did the roman empire ever excist? Who am I to know. I only know what I'm told. Hand me a roman sword, maybe it's fake. Date it back to the time, how do I know this is roman? How do I know they didn't make the sword out of materials from that time? How can I trust the date they put on it?

The answer, might lay some time in the future. Who knows.

My point is, we should move on to more serious subjects.
Genedril. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO BAKE PIE?! Well fgs man, I'm not having any of that store-bought shit! Get busy, learn it!

Tabloid reading is a red herring. Citing 'reading the tabloids' as an example of stupidity is stupidity in itself.

I'm more of a savoury man bar the fruit cake, I'll get practising though. I'll probably start with tarts & move on to pies, that way I'll be twice as useful in your happy world.

I don't like store-bought crap either, if I can't cook it myself I'll go out & eat somewhere that can cook it for me.

People can also start to ignore each other when speaking calmly. If I shout "fuck you" you get the message, if I shout "fdjhghsdf!" you will not get it, either because the sender/encoder or the receiver/decoder is broken, it's still communication though, just at a different noise/encryption level.

People reading tabloids are stupid, saying a human's genetic potential can allow him to be the next Einstein just if someone points it out to him is just too friendly in my eyes. I didn't say what made the guy reading the tabloid stupid, maybe he can't anything for it or maybe he is even an exceptionally good and smart guy just reading tabloids (I know such people). At least here in Europe, where most should have access to elementary and some kind of a middle school where media should be covered as a topic in school I don't have any trouble with calling tabloid readers stupid.

If you read the same bullshit enough times, you actually believe it and even vote accordingly at the next elections.

Lol dont be daft. Were talking about communication between humans. Understanding is a prerequisite. But thats for paul to argue.

I'm glad that you took the time though to properly communicate and further elucidate your meaning regarding people reading tabloids being stupid. I dispute whether its stupid or not.

We need to define stupid before we can progress, need to sort out our sender/encoder - receiver/decoder first. :)



Oh, and NFD used to pwn jo in rvr. :lol:

Communication is a 2 way process; shouting "fuck you" at me is not communication, it's a diatribe. Communication is not about 1 person getting a message; it's about 2 people being involved in a discussion, passing of each others ideas, an interchange of thoughts or feelings. For instance having a discussion such as this on a forum is communication. If you told me to "fuck off" & I responded with "clueless n00b" then we wouldn't be communicating, we'd be talking (or shouting if you prefer) AT each other.

I'm not saying that everyone has the potential to be Einstein, I'm saying that if everyone was educated in a way in which they relate too (different people absorb information in different ways & learning by rote is generally the least effective manner for the majority of people) then they'd at least have a fighting chance of being able to make more informed decisions. Whether they read tabloids or not is irrelevant it's about whether people can make informed thoughts from a biased (& also recognise it's biased) source. The broadsheets are just as guilty of bias as tabloids are so what is required is a variety of sources - this being the case reading a tabloid, recognising it has bias & obtaining other sources of information to supplement the tabloid would actually be a good thing.

Shouting "fuck you" to someone is communication when that someone is able to understand english. It might have no profound meaning but that doesn't extract the process of communicating.

Communication doesnt have to involve dialogue or any form of discussion, or even a structure, that's a different thing all together.

That's not communication as I've already pointed out - communication is a 2 way street & requires interactivity. Having "fuck you" shouted at you is not interacting, shouting "fuck you" back isn't even interacting - it's merely a tirade by both parties involved as there's no interchange of information involved in it at all.

{edit} Definately prefered cake & pie tbh - I've got work to do & while this discussion is interesting it's not solving my Group Policy & Adobe Reader 8 woes. Let's not even get started on my Nortel OTM which is being recalcitrant.

Excuse me but you're dead wrong there. Communication is simply a process whereby a meaning is transfered from the source to the recipient. You're talking about a discussion, a dialogue. As long as "fuck you" is understandable, it is communication.

edit: Indeed it's becoming an interesting discussion. We can continue later :)
