if you cant 'condone' (ie 'forgive' according to the dictionary) a neutral and natural condition that is applicable in some way to a vast percentage of the population, or entire populations according to significantly varying definitions, including virtually every child over the age of 11 (excluding the geeks), then you are like i said an idiot and stupid and closed-minded to rationality and pure simple facts. i´m gone until tomorrow
condone: accept and allow (behavior that is morally wrong and offensive) to continue.
that would be you. im not hijacking this thread with this arguement again. if you dont believe me, go look up last months thread, where 95% of tl.net told you youre wrong and you ignored them.

nooo, plz go ahead, i'm havin a good laugh off of you two hijacking this thread.

only thing that really annoy me is people like vaginaboy who are closedminded and think they know everything and never accept an alternate viewpoint and ignore the facts and are just basically fucking idiots and not only that but theyre STUPID aswell i accept alternative views. just not ones that condones pedophilia, like yours. and i must say inc, that was a very nice post.
you sound very much like a guy called reason... everyone hated him

Brood I applaud you and your patience. Baal and Travis don't get it because the picture is impersonal and completely fictious to them. If that shit was something they had seen or had personally happen to them or someone they love they would not find it funny. Sad when people give tribute to "shock humor" past the age of 12.
No, you don't get it. The monday after my grandfather(he was also my neighbor, we were close) passed away from cancer I made a joke about him to my close friend. This joke was something Im sure you would find terrible inappropriate, and probably take offense to. Yet my friend and I found it hilarious. I love my grandfather very much. I am not a callous and insensitive person. In fact, I am the opposite. The film(and character) Borat is based on "shock humor", as you call it. That film seemed to do pretty well. I guess we aren't the only people who enjoy this kind of humor. I consider my ability to see an object or situation from multiple perspectives a good thing. I don't understand why I shouldn't. Did you have the means to save your grandfather? Did you watch him die, take a picture and walk away? Did your joke include a picture of your grandfather and a include a completely innapropriate comment? I too have joked about the misfortune. To what Baal is getting at, it could seem that a person falling off a bicycle is similar in humor to that picture. The difference is that man will get up, embarrassed and move along. He isn't one of millions starving in his own homeland rotting away. You and baal can argue all you want. It is funny to make light of things. I think this is where the word "tact" comes into play. Sure you damn well can, but should you? You will argue "yes" and that is fine, its your perrogative. I would contend a more appropriate approach would be maybe respect? Sympathy? People on this forum started a fucking shit storm when I called a dead person's clan essentially "nub" in a RIP thread. I retracted and appologized. I too think there is a time and place for humor even coupled with death. But something as grave as an african child crawling towards salvation and dying whilst a person watched.. nah uh man thats pretty fucked up. Borat did well. Awesome. You must be completely right than. Since a movie with said themes did well your humor must be just and morally sound. So horror movies justify murder and Appacolypse themed movies justify nihilism? I think you should detach what happens in Cinema and what happens in your moral constructs. If entertainment = your moral structure you have some serious shaping to do.
Very good post incontrol.

APM threads - Srsly how many apm threads does there need to be? I wish I had a tall can for everytime someone asks for advice about how they can learn to spam their hotkeys more.
Girl Problems - Ok let's put aside the fact that asking how to attract girls on a video gaming forum is probably barking up the wrong tree, you're asking for advice from someone who has never met the girl you're asking about.
I agree completely with the apm one, but i think the girl threads are funny. another pet peeve of mine is when someone in a girl thread says what you just said: that the person shouldn't ask here cuz everyone at tl.net are nerds and have never had sex and will never have sex and that we sit in front of our computer 24/7. it gets old, and its not funny. its mentioned in just about every girl thread though 
Another pet peeve is people putting words in my mouth

There were plenty of people who able to intelligently articulate their distaste for these topics without the obnoxiousness and retardedness of your posts. You complain about P players beating a dead horse, yet you are the one with the most repetitive complaints, even often in threads that are barely related to PvZ imba discussions. Unlike the intelligent explaining or analyzing which most other forum goers provide to show PvZ is not imba, your posts are restricted to "OMFG whiny P users omg crutch STFU STFU". And you accuse us of beating a dead horse?
Even your post and your sig shows the general lack of maturity and depth in your contributions. You generalize to saying that ALL Protosses whine, and that ALL Protosses use it as an excuse, and ALL Protosses should STFU. Thats a great attitude to take when your position is that Protoss users are overreacting whiners. yea. it was really awesome looking at several strategy forum posts in one way or another whining about the mu. my 'bitching' as you put it finally got the admins to realize that the crap was polluting our forums. if 'pvz is imbal' isnt a tired and lame arguement, there would be a need for ujoo to post what he did. and id just like to know, do you consider your sig to somehow be mature? yes, lets start using sigs and my general disdain for people who whine about mus as the barometer for my maturity. posts where there is smething acutally intelligent to discuss—not pvz imbal threads—i post something worthwhile.
First of all, half your posts are about PvZ imbalance, which would make a gigantic proportion of posts that are "not worthwhile". And as for being selective about when to be mature or contribute something worthwhile, all I can say is that you obviously are universally instead of selectively retarded.
Secondly, I have no problem with Uhjoo's thread or people who complain about PvZ whining in general. After I started the thread about sunkens in PvZ, I regretted it after more PvZ threads started to spawn. I can accept intelligent criticism and debate, which is obviously something you dont' comprehend. In fact, with your faggish and stupid remarks, you are just as guilty as anyone of lowering the tone of discussion whenever PvZ is mentioned. If certain Protoss players are getting whiny and bitchy, it has at least partly to do with overthetop, exaggerated, and unconstructive remarks from people like you. In a topic that is considered overdebated and "beating a dead horse", posts like yours are the most obnoxious, repetitive, and annoying. In criticising a certain behavior, you exemplify its worst qualities.
Lastly, I don't see the comparision between your sig and mine. Mine isn't even my own; its a quote that I included for its humor and hilarity. It offends no one except for people who are so sensitive about their favorite race in a game that they can't let it go. Yours is an overgeneralized and unwarranted personal attack on a third of the posters on this forum. There is no similarity whatsoever.

maybe people just have some minor complaints, not all posts indicate some deep nonsensical hatred.

Reason: Calling a spade a spade.
Back to the topic of pet peeves:
- Emotional opportunist: Those who sees that a thread is going one way and decides to add on to the direction of the tide so as to appear to be on the strong side without a personal conviction on the subject matter in the first place. But deep within they know they are just trying to get into somebody's good books, especially when it involves an admin. (Yes it has been somewhat mentioned but this is the title I personally attribute to these people.)
- Polls that are senseless nor interesting nor of any entertainment/informative values.
- People that has to be right all the time: Even when there is clearly nothing to be right about and you probably would never find them apologizing anytime in the forum.

not wanting to be an "emotional opportunist", but aphelion's post was even more insightful than inc's, in some way. i wish i was able to express my thoughts in the english language as precise and eloquate as a native speaker with some brain obviously can >_<
the best pet peeve yet remains the "people who complain about every little thing here at TL.net", but i guess that's just human ^^
i'm eager to see how long this "i hate people who whine about people who whine about people whining about protoss users whinig that PvZ is imba" thing will be going on...

pet peeve is probably one of the most annoying phrases ever.

I did find that picture funny. I am not fucked up. In fact, I'm a very nice thoughtful guy
So how can I be wrong if that's the case?

To my knowledge, i've never played you at Starcraft. Regardless of whether you won or not, it's difficult to be mad at you for something i didn't know you did. (however, if you'd like to play a game, i'd be up for that. From all accounts i've heard on Starcraft, you suck complete ass - and been known to talk shit about me. hilarious.)
You're the most arrogant person on these forums. I just don't like arrogance. I know you're ego is much too large to be deflated, but i think it worthwhile to attempt to at every chance i get.
