Endless Useless Arguments

[kellieflan]

In case anyone needs this thread...

[Red Mule]

OK, Thanks!

I'm right and everyone that disagres with me is wrong.

How's that for a start?

I have found that debating religion or politics is a waste of valuable time. That is why I stay clear of it. No one will ever win. I would much rather spend my time trying to find humor in life and each day. Time is short. Why spend it arguing/debating

Just my 2 cents on this subject

[Yosemite Joy]

I let my kids watch Tom and Jerry. *waits for it*

[HIS_MOM]

I let my kids watch Tom and Jerry. *waits for it*

my kids love tom and jerry

[Mysteefied]

I let my kids watch Tom and Jerry. *waits for it*

Tom and Jerry promotes violence and the use of explosives!!! It rots brain cells and Im sure that GOD did not put your kids in your womb to be born 9 months later so that you could kill their brain cells with useless crap like that!

LOLOLOL.....ok, I'm laughing too hard, I give up. Was kidding...HUGS
PS I Love your kids!!!!

[Yosemite Joy]

Hahahahahaha........ and let's not get into the racial issues of Tom and Jerry. They mostly edit that stuff out now, though.

I let them watch Popeye, too, so you just know they are going to grow up and try to smoke things out of pipes.

[only1alphafemale]

Yea and you know that smoking from a pipe isnt going to be any more pleasant to them than eating spinach is, well, the first time maybe/perhaps...lol...but the pipe goes farther in influencing them ! ....LOL ...:liteoneup:

[jakobscalpel]

I let my kids watch Tom and Jerry. *waits for it*

Our kids were watching Tom and Jerry on the way to a birthday party in Fresno yesterday. You know, just to get them riled up.

Good thread idea. A few endless debate ideas from me:

1. All gratuitously loud motorcycles should be banned immediately and permanently. Destruction of all such motorcycles should take place in small portable crushers of my own design which amplify the sound of the crushing to unbearable levels. The crushing will take place over several days in the motorcycle owner's yard. People who prop their bikes out in the driveway on Sunday mornings for no apparent reason or those who perform the ritualistic "wave" at other cyclists they pass on the road should also be crushed.

2. People who throw cigarette butts wherever they feel like should be sent organic farming forced labor camps for a period of no less than five years.

3. Abortion sucks.

4. String theory is a bunch of overly complicated mathematical nonsense that provides tenure but not truth.

5. Statistics don't lie.

6. There are measurable average performance differences between groups of humans with distinct genetics, as measured by cluster analysis.

You know what, Newcomer? You are so right, and it would serve me well to keep this in mind... Although not directed at me, I really appreciate the reminder :wave:

[coarsegoldjill]

Hi - I'm new to this Forum. Can you direct me to your referenced thread (endless useless arguments)?

Thanks!

[kellieflan]

CJ, this is the page you are seeking... it began as a facetious response to some circular discussions (see "Mountain Christian Center," thread or maybe it was "Positive Living Center" thread). That's not important now, as there seems to be a tacit agreement to avoid political and religious disagreements for as long as any of us, individually or collectively, are able!

Some other people had some good fun arguments on this thread - here's a classic for instance...

Who would win in a fight... Mighty Mouse or Superman?

This particular idea has been discussed before, but only briefly, and not to my complete agreement or satisfaction.

Welcome to the forum, CJ!

Welcome CoarsegoldJill, are you learning your way around?

I just went to the store locator sight for AT&T wireless and the closest store is 27 miles away in Madera, the ones in Fresno are about 30 miles away. I think it is time to change cell phone companies.

I was thinking about you the other day when I was down in Fresno, and drove by the AT&T store on Blackstone........ You know, you can cross over online too! and sometimes the online deals are better than the store deals!!! :yes:

[Red Mule]

I've always stuck with Verison because I think they have better cell phone tower coverage up here in the mountains. But, if I ever hear someone else covers the area around where I live (near Bass Lake) better than Verizon, I'll change in a flash. It get's old having to go outside, standing on one foot and rotating to try and get a better signal.

[intheoak]

I actually go through boost mobile. I got my phone from radio shack (no bells or whistles just standard flip phone w/ no camera) and my first months service for $96 including the tax. I have the unlimited minutes plan, so unlimited minutes anytime to anyone and it is $52.10 a month including tax. It's a no contract cell service kindove like Cricket. No annual contarct no extra fees or anything. if you don't pay they shut you off, then when you do pay they turn you back on. I'm not a big texter so I didn't get that plan for $60 a month with unlimited text messages, but it is free to recive text messages and 10 cents to send. I get better service on it than I did with my verison pre-paid phone. I don't get srevice in Bass Lake, or past Sierra Sky Ranch, but I do get it on Jackson Rd. & Cedar Valley. If your a no contract kind of person it is just perfect. Only down fall is Boost doesn't offer local numbers you have to have a Madera or Fresno number. It works well for me tho!!

[dancingqueen]

I was at Costco this morning and noticed that they sell Verison, have any of you gotten your phone from them or do you go locally to STI? I am a touchie feelie kind of gal so I don't think I want to get a phone on line. I know they have wonderful deals though. Thanks to everyone for thinking about me.

[BGW]

We took both a Verizon and an AT&T phone on our 6000 mile road trip last winter. Verizon had better and more service hands down! We dumped the AT&T phone as soon as the contract was up and use only Verizon now. I wonder if AT&T left the area due to a lack of subscribers?? You may want to consider changing companies. I have a very basic plan. 450 minutes 250 text and insurance because I am a natural born klutz--$50 total

[dancingqueen]

Thanks so much for the info. The road trip sounds like it was a wonderful test. I thought my subscription was up the end of last month but that was just when I could get a free upgrade. I can't change companies until February. Wish it were now, I am jazzed and ready for a change.

[dorseygirl]

With Verizon you can do the upgrade every two years, and a lot of times if you pick the phone with the free upgrade, you get a free phone - doesn't cost you anything. I always like the every two years - because I certainly take advantage of getting my free phone. Go to Sierra Tel Business Center, next to Von's - they have all of the new style phones.

[kellieflan]

This is not useless! It may be endless though!

Get back to Mighty Mouse vs. Superman or something fun.

Add a little happy face emoticon here ___________ I forgot to do so.

[Mysteefied]

Mighty Mouse kicks Supermans Butt!
Mighty Mouse ROCKS!

[only1alphafemale]

Mighty Mouse kicks Supermans Butt!
Mighty Mouse ROCKS!

Woooohoooo! You bet he does! and he looks cuter in the tights too....rofl! rolleyes:

[kellieflan]

Now, here's the endless/useless part - you all know Mighty Mouse was only a cartoon, and Superman is REAL - so how could a cartoon kick the butt of a real super hero... and... how could a mouse have a cuter butt than a male super hero? Are you crazy? You Rodent Lovers! I suppose you support marriage between a rodent and a super hero, too? Okay now I've gone too far. :stretch:

[BGW]

I think both options are invalid!! Evryone knows UnderDog has it won paws down!!

[only1alphafemale]

Noooope! Polly Purebred, took it all away.....when she batted those big eye of hers at him ~! Lil blonde hussie! :rofl:

[only1alphafemale]

Now, here's the endless/useless part - you all know Mighty Mouse was only a cartoon, and Superman is REAL - so how could a cartoon kick the butt of a REAL SUPER HERO ... AND ... HOW COULD A MOUSE HAVE A CUTER BUTT THAN A MALE SUPER HERO? ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU RODENT LOVERS! I SUPPOSE YOU SUPPORT MARRIAGE BETWEEN A RODENT AND A SUPER HERO, TOO? Okay now I've gone too far. Back to bed for me. :stretch:

( That would depend on the super hero's?) :rofl:......Mighty mouse compared to Superman...had a cuter butt and tighter abs due to a tinier waste line....:cool: ~ relative to size ! .....errrrr... No wait a sec....maybe I'm thinkin 'bout Jerry's butt.......:rolf:.....
but mighty mouse had the trimmer waist...or maybe it was the belt.... Hmmmmm....


( I babysat for a friend of mine years ago, Her son was around 2 maybe 2 1/2 at the time, and a Tom and Jerry cartoon came on ~~ Jerry turned his naked little but out with that little thin tail he wore and the little boy started laughing and giggling repeating over and over again while he pointed at the TV screen blushing...~~ ...." I see his bear butts, I see his bear butts !!" I still get a big chuckle when I think about it and have *never* seen "naked cartoon butts" in quite the same way again......." ) LOL

[kellieflan]

If, in the Courtship of Eddie's Father TV show, what if Eddie's father had actually gotten married... would Eddie have acted out and if so, how?

Also, didn't Eddie's father later become the HULK? So, that meant that character was "inside him" all the while, waiting to get out! So, maybe Eddie had a little HULK in him and THAT would have been his "acting out."

Just thinking. My daughter is on the bed doing her spelling sentences, so I have a little extra time to ponder.

Just to clarify, STI does not sell cellular phones or service.

Sierra Tel Internet (STI) sells Internet service

Sierra Tel Business Center (STBC) sells copies, paper supplies, etc like Kinko's

Sierra Tel Business Systems (STBS) sells cellular phones and service, computer networking, alarm service and monitoring, etc.

Sierra Telephone sells land line phone service, phones, and additional phone services such as voicemail, call waiting, etc.

Hmmmmmm...... ( Did you take that nap today K ? ) :rofl: :rofl: ....... So if I'm following this right, then what your really saying is that Lou Ferigno, was Eddie's REAL dad !!!

[kellieflan]

Hmmmmmm...... ( Did you take that nap today K ? ) :rofl: :rofl: ....... So if I'm following this right, then what your really saying is that Lou Ferigno, was Eddie's REAL dad !!!

My nap was interrupted, I really have no idea what I'm doing except I think it's called "flaming" and also, I fixed my shouting. I agree about John Stamos, though.

Oh wait, you mean Lou Ferrigno was the hulk inside of Eddie's father? Maybe that's why he never remarried.

[BooBooBear]

I got my phone from Verizon at Costco. I've heard from others that things are cheaper from the Verizon store in Fresno than from the telephone co. They don't charge $10 to add another line or to change your phone over from one to another

[BooBooBear]

What was the show with Mrs. Beasley?? The doll that Buffy (think that's her name) used to carry around? I have a friend who's last name was Beasley...she hated when I called her Mrs. Beasley LOL!!

[kellieflan]

That was "Family Affair."

LOL, No silly....I asked if you had taken the nap because of where your train of thought ran off to.... I loved it, it cracked me up!!! .......:rofl:......so I figured you had either gotten that nap and were sharp as a tack? Or you were still in need of that nap and getting "punch drunk" like I do.~ ha! :rofl: ~
Your post *tickled* me ! Sooooooooo , keep on doing what ever it is you dont know that or what your doing cause it gives me a chuckle and I will take a laugh anywhere I can beg, borrow or steal one from!!!! :D LOL

A zillion years ago when my babies were little I would turn on a soap opera or two. With one of them ending a few weeks ago a friend asked me if I was sad. I laughed and said I bet I have not watched a soap opera in 30 years. She laughed and said, oh if you turned one on and watched it for a week you would be all caught up, THEY PROGRESS VERY SLOWLY. I have been traveling and away from the forum for a month, and I can say for sure that there are threads on the forum that have not progressed an inch, they are exactly as they were a month ago. Back and forth, back and forth, like hitting your head against a brick wall. Endless and useless.....a perfect name for this thread, glad you brought it back Kellie.

[Twolf]

I can say for sure that there are threads on the forum that have not progressed an inch, they are exactly as they were a month ago.
Ahh, but you are not looking at this in geologic time. Check back in 10,000 years and you'll be amazed at the progress.
Back and forth, back and forth

Just like the glaciers and look what they did to Yosemite.

I like that analogy a lot: some visitors want to understand each glacial advance & retreat and how it shapes the result. Some just like to enjoy the view. Some note how little it has changed since the last time they visited. And some get vertigo when they get too close to the edge!

[MtnBreeze]

I like both posts alot. LOL I laughed out loud when I got to the vertigo comment ;)

I think it is wrong that I have to post four times before I use the PM function!

Who decided these rules?

Do they know how wrong it is?

and how much it hurts me?

I hope this isn't out of line...but your post made me giggle, you reminded me of a very good friend of mine who is so over dramatic, she always makes me giggle.
Thanks

I'm sorry DNCCEO, but it is to help prevent the forums from getting flooded with SPAM messages, and also our members individually. It really doesnt take that long to reach the amount necessary. Most just jump in and play a few of the games and are there before they know it ~ :) Its really nothing personal.

Here's an endless, useless argument my husband and I like to have while I'm driving and we're using cruise control. My lovely husband refuses (and I mean really REFUSES) to believe me when I say the cruise control adjusts the downhill speed. Duh! Or, as we used to say in HS, der!

Now I trust you all agree with me. Anyone who does not agree with me will be immediately put on my ignore list. For those of you who WANT to be on my ignore list, you will NOT be put on it. Nanny Goat! Or as a dearly beloved friend says (and she is wrong about this) Nanny Nanny Boo Boo.

5. Statistics don't lie.

6. There are measurable average performance differences between groups of humans with distinct genetics, as measured by cluster analysis.

1. agreed!
2. I may have been guilty of this prior to moving to kindlingville Ca, so I deisgraa then, but agree now!
3. Yes. This is indisputable. Even those that dispute it know better.
4. I have a bone of contention with this one, I have not yet accepted this as gospel, however it solves many, many problems, however, it does indeed bring up several more. Before we get into a unified theory, I think we need to decide if fossil fuels are actually fossil fuels, or some good goop the earth makes for us, this can be solved much easier, and faster than the 11 dimensional string theory can.

5. Untrue, IMHO.
6. I do not know anyhintg about it, nuetral.
