You misspelled grammar!

Where to start, Lawdeedaw?
First, your comment was not limited to American colleges, so your admonition to @bareboards2 is a misstep.
Second, I must guess from the grammar and your estimations that you were visiting these colleges, not enrolled, because my experience was far different. I was a struggling full time, minimum wager earner while I went to college on my own dime for YEARS, because I wanted to learn things, not for a 'degree' to get a good paying career. I knew many others there that may have hoped to better their earning potential, but also wanted to better themselves, and so took many elective classes that didn't further an academic career, as did I. I also knew some of those at Stanford, but fewer.
EDIT:The poor not caring about education is not only wrong, it's extremely insulting. Because attaining good education is more difficult does not make it less important to them, in fact it's likely MORE important, and many sacrifice to a degree inconceivable to the 'rich' to educate themselves and their children.
And not all Americans are overt consumerists ruled by their base emotions and without any self control. Many are, but not all by a long shot.

Next on the logical fallacy parade, Lantern will dismiss it away as a liberal conspiracy.

he's predictable too. Bobknight will later come in and make some noises with poor grammar and spelling.

It has happened before, and will happen again.

Valid point. I wasn't sure whether or not the issue was with my grammar. I'll rename it.

A business associate just bought one and flew it around for me, which is why I was so interested when that video creator emailed us his video. It's not that easy to know how to control those things to make killer professional-looking videos.

In theory it seems cool, but not that incredible, however in person and the output is really awe-inspiring.

If you start recording some stuff, share some video. I'd love to see what you create.

It's homemade because it's just some guy who bought a drone and flew it around composing professional-looking videos.

I wouldn't imagine he'd have to build a drone from spare parts and only record video inside his home for the video to be validly considered homemade.

[edit]
It was a grammar issue. Post re-titled.

Don't post angry bro. Your spelling and grammar get even worse when you do.

Oh, and don't call me Surly!

Go back to school Bob. There's this little concept called percentages that you particularly need to learn.

Eh? I don't think @newtboy was comparing anyone to Charles Manson.

He was essentially saying "two wrongs don't make a right". Feels like a valid point to me.

If you want hyperbole, look at that bullshit Higgs quote. Let's actually ask how many police assaults are happening. Instead of making up figures (on a fucking logarithmic scale, no less), let's get some actual data. Let's find out who these police are, and let's prosecute the bastards. And then while we're at it, let's get a percentage figure on the number of decent cops doing their jobs vs assholes abusing their power.

But nah, fuck it. Far easier to just claim that any contrary evidence "no longer have any standing whatever" (by the way, it's "whatsoever") since grammar pedantry is so apparently important.

Data?? That just a fancy liberal word for story!

... I was going to correct the grammar there for a second.


"Duh, it's Chris Pratt did forget about Dre." Herp. Derp.

Yeah, it's almost like I'm dumb enough to think that someone was seriously suggesting genocide.

Seriously, though... grammar nazism?

I know that wit, originality, intelligence, decency, understanding, honesty, modesty, acumen, empathy, humour, logic, hygiene, taste, insight, imagination, integrity, courage, resourcefulness and self-awareness are not on your list of positive attributes, but you could at least try to come up with something vaguely approaching a decent comeback.

Not quite. If you haven't learned basic grammar by the age of 36, I've little faith in your ability to grasp something as advanced as logic, but keep at it. The world needs folks like you.

Aaaaand you sir or madman with your offering, are wholly without merit and I spew with confidence bereft of interesting banter on a plethora of issues as well. Oh, and your grammar is lousy.

What's YOUR country of origin pray-tell, I'll dump a tow-sack full of her problems on your bed after trick-or-treat and we'll pick-out which ones mommy said you're allowed eat with those ugly teeth god botcha..

Seriously Bob, I say this not as someone who dislikes you, not as someone who opposes you politically. I say this as one human being to another:

Learn how to fucking spell and the difference between its and it's

Details matter. Presentation matters

Your post was actually one of the least objectionable things I've heard you say in a while, but it was completely undermined by your poor spelling and grammar. It made you look like a complete idiot

Do better and take pride in yourself.

On a related note, grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.

Not really. @Xaielao is saying that the author of the poem is vastly overstating the extent of the problem.

Honestly, I've seen more videos complaining about this behaviour than I have actual evidence of this behaviour. I dunno, maybe it's a generational thing. My friends and I will occasionally use our phones while socialising, but generally it's along the lines of "what time is the movie we're going to see" or "what's the weather looking like for our road trip tomorrow", and very occasionally "did you see <friend who lives overseas> just had a baby?". I don't think we've ever sat around separately browsing.

Can people be rude and obnoxious with their phones or with social media? Of course, but the problem is not phones or social media, the problem is assholes. Take away phones and social media, and they will just find another way to be assholes.

Like right now, I'm going to be an asshole and explain to @Xaielao that when you're posting your opinions, you should use correct fucking grammar!
