Fantabulous Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 As for the post above the above post...

I was unaware some people needed help in order to tell the difference between a statement of opinion and a statement of fact. I've never needed it. I don't think it's about not knowing it's someones opinion, more of a pleasantry for me, but then again it's like sarcasm it's hard to read on the internet, plus some are too stupid to catch sarcasm offline as well.

In my book, there's a definite distinction. An Indian family (or a family from anywhere else, just going for an example here) who move to Britain, bring up their children as Brits, and generally try to include themselves in society is perfectly welcome, in my book. Regardless of what their tax-paying or working circumstances may be.</p><p> Whereas a Polish family (again, example) who have clearly come here for the money, don't even teach their kids English or bother to learn it themselves, and bugger off again when they've got enough to make a good living for themselves in Poland... they can **** off.</p><p> </p><p> Having said that, I have noticed it's exponentially easier to migrate TO Britain than it is to migrate FROM it, especially to places I might actually want to go to. Sure, it's fairly easy to get into Australia, but has anyone tried migrating to Finland or the USA lately? Jesus... It's almost like they have border controls and systems in place to stop you or something. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="27610" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>But then, I am also suspicious of multiculturalism since I am not sure it's the warm and fuzzy lets all get along philosophy that has been advertised and is probably far more based on economics and the wealthy wanting to make sure there is a significant amount of people willing to work crap jobs for crap money than it is based on any altruistic vision of a united world based on love and understanding of all people.

Let's be fair here, *someone* has to do those jobs, and most Brits these days come out of University with a degree in something completely impractical which - to them - gives them a right to sit on their arse and collect benefits while "waiting for the right job" (of which there are about 20 in the country, which is probably less than the number of people who graduated from their course). Seriously, what are you going to DO with that degree in Archaeology?</p><p> </p><p> I definitely don't subscribe to the 'they're taking our jobs' theory.

There are always some. To be fair though, we do provoke them incessantly (as a society. I don't go around slapping them with fish), and there are just as many cases of immigrants being attacked by gangs of chavvy white men, or black guys.

Remianen Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Look at this: http://popculturedude.com/images/DSCF9912.JPG What grinds my gears is when people see stuff like this, see a name, recognize a surname and say, "Hey, are you related to this guy? I found this listing on eBay". In this case, yes, it's my father (the guy to the right of the dude in the white suit). But, knowing my father and I were not on good terms (which this person does know), why even ask? Do you not think I have all of their albums, whether I want to or not? If I didn't, do you think I'd actually be the least bit interested in buying it, knowing that my father and I were not on good terms? Yeah, let's bring the ol' man back from the dead and plant him in my thoughts. That sounds like a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This stems from a conversation on facebook. People who ride someone's ass on the road. When someone rides my ass for going "too slow", I slow down even more. I generally go the speed limit or five over. Apparently, that's not fast enough. Someone claims I'm in the wrong for doing that, but it's better than me break checking the idiots riding my rear bumper. Also, seriously, just because you drive a big truck, it doesn't give you the right to drive like a d-bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've disliked the stuff that's popular since I was kid, mainly because it was often so expensive, my mother wouldn't buy it. So when everyone was wearing Polo, I was wearing Tommy Hilfiger. Then when Tommy caught on, I wore Perry Ellis and Liz Claiborne. (Mind you, this was because Marshall's sold it so it was MUCH cheaper than it would ordinarily be). Likewise with Nike, I couldn't get the Jordans of the time (the ones with the lizardskin upper) so I had to make do with Reebok. The last pair of Nikes I've owned were the first edition Cortez when I was 10. Of course, I ruined them after getting a particularly nasty scrape in football practice and bled all over them (unknowingly, until it was too late. How do you NOT notice blood dripping down your arm?). I'm still a Reebok devotee to this day. But I started wearing UnderArmour almost solely due to </p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Vt-LXybOGjo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Under Armour Click Clack FOOTBALL commercial produced by Surefire Music Group"></iframe></div></div> years ago. Love that track to death.<p> </p><p> Anyway, I don't tend to dislike things because they're popular.

Wrestling Century Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 IMO the worst kind of hipsters are video game hipsters, aka the people who hate on games like Call of Duty (or in some cases, all FPS games) just because it is the most popular game in the world right now.

moon_lit_tears Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 So I went to a charity event yesterday. It was an all day festival. Rock n Run festival. There was a 5k run and all day music to benefit the Special Olympics. Great cause no? Well tel that to the idiot who was so drunk he couldn't realize what the letters VIP meant. We had VIP only seating, and were able to go right up to the stage. Some douche wanted to cause me trouble because I was enjoying myself. Nothing wrong with a female dancing while drinking wine. He was very rude because I didn't pay for my glass of wine, then when he was told he wasn't allowed by the stage (I was the only one there at the moment) he went off. Not on the guard, but on me. Too bad the idiot got kicked out before the good stuff even started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowedFlames Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 <p>I've never liked FPS games for the most part, and this is starting from the Doom era. Borderlands and Left 4 Dead are about the only exceptions I have. It's not because they are popular, it's just that I find it difficult to get into that type of game. Personal preference. If that makes me a hipster, so be it. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> On-topic now....</p><p> </p><p> What grinds my gears? Co-workers who are half again my age or older who make me think I'm back in high school, with the gossiping and putdowns.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I name dropped Cross Colours, 8Ball jackets, Karl Kani, and shearling coats, would that be better? People didn't resort to selling toxic substances to their friends and neighbors so they could buy Lee jeans and Adidas (despite what Run DMC would have you believe). I guess using examples people might actually recognize is a bad thing.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
