"Ctrl+V"ing in discussion threads should be banned!

[Whirlysplat]

Yeah

I know how much it sucks grotty-ball when some hoighty-toighty person who, like, actually has studied ancient history, or the myriad of contemporary commentaries on said "history", dares to like, try and expose ignorant people to truth/new ideas,...upon which he has "come across".

So lame!
We should just restrict ourselves to exchanges like: " Yoo Tink da Woorld goes around da SUN?!?....buhlonEY! You can go out every morning, on stable ground, and watch the "SUN" move across the sky!"



If you've ever read a book by a scholar, who's devoted his life to a subject? For GAWD'S sake!...dON't QUOTE him!!!!!!

While, 98.7% of America is ******ed and mainly concerned with "American Idol", We'd best avoid bringing unknown texts to our ideological rivals.



:PUKE BLOOD:

F***ing,....why do you hate learning, and the disemination of "truth" or "ideas" so much?!?

LEARNING will totally lose you friends in this post-"cool" world.

:sad-as-****:

people think you're the "villain" if you introduce relevant, "outside" ideas into the discussion.
It's, honestly, EFFING embarrassing ('cause basically, you hate reading) and you "knowledge-haters" will inherit the world you deserve.

Awesome post!!!!

I'd forgotten this thread I still don't think ctrl+v should be banned though.

No seriously. Anytime someone creates a thread on a topic that can actually spur some nice intellectual and creative discussions, people start resorting to the tedious cut-copy-paste routine and much counter link-posting ensues. Really, what's the point of trying to start a meaningful conversation when you are too inept to express your own views without someone else doing it for you? It's one thing to use a source for referential and citational purposes, but totally another in letting them be your mouthpiece.

If I ever make such a thread, I'd want to hear what you have to say about it, not the writers of http://www.myopinionisalwaysright.com.

Such a thing would get you banned at the message boards i own.That's why i never make a thread in the Community Forum.It tends to go off topic real fast.

Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has got 'em and they all stink. If you don't back your opinion up with something (Clt+V) it's not worth the time it took to read it.

Dude, you have to support your arguments.
Many Christians I know haven't even read the entire Bible.
So when I refer to the time God sent wild bears to eat little kids just because they made fun of a bald man, they of course don't believe me, because that's such a preposterous story.

So I HAVE to copy paste the exact verse for them.
I agree that I'd rather hear opinions, but in many debates/discussions, you Have to cite the sources that have helped you to form your opinion.

Such as when someone told Whirly that there's "no evidence that Mohammed married a 9 year old".

It's just not true, so opinion is not enough. He has to quote sources.

Why do you hate Christians so? It's just a belief system.

"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced an inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth." - Thomas Jefferson
