I don't consider myself to be average, so I'm not part of that "generation" of morons.
Oh, OK - Now I understand.

Case in Point. Read this thread.

particularly Brigdens comments toward the end.

if he thinks that's humor he really needs an education.

And I say STFU wiseass. Everybody is entitled to their opinion - I'm no exception.

Oh the irony...

Oh the Hubris trying to snipe me with some come-back around every corner ;)
Nice...now at least I know you're smart, because you know what 'hubris' means.

I like you, WarmAndSCSI. :beer::D:beer:


Dunno about WarmAndSCSI, but in 10th grade English we learned what hubris was from Oedipus...and Antigone.

They've (well, I'm included in this generation) been raised on influences such as, making fun of the retarded, acting stupid to get attention, being sarcastic to get attention, etc. Probably most of it was because of TV influence - half the sh1t on the tube is worthless, corrupt garbage (just look at the "reality" shows now a day - the "Survivor"s and the "American Idols" and now the dating shows - a bunch of feces designed for this mindless generation of morons). Now MOST of us here are on the low end of this stupid spectrum (as in we resist most of this trash), but what do you think the next generation is going to turn out like??? :confused:

I have a perfect example (I'm not going to bash Wduaqnug, so I'm using another person): My Speakers Is Aweomsse Man

This is nothing new and is not restricted to today's kids.

Reality shows are what the people want. Their craze falls in the line of human soap operas for primetime stripped of some of the cheesy contorted storyline factor.
I happen to enough some reality shows like Survivor, Amazing Race and the Mole because I enjoy watching people scheme. They are game shows just produced differently.
TV is a choice. Don't like it. Don't watch. That simple.
Want a different option, off to to TVLAND with you.

And remember
Sarcasm is the ugly cousin of Anger :)

Reality shows are what the NETWORKS want. Why? Cheaper to produce, thanks to basically just hiring the filming/production crew. Hence a greater ROI and a better bottom line. People watch them because they're on, not necessarily because they're good. People will watch just about any old crap.
