I have so very many opinions!: Part 2: The Opinining!

[Fifthfiend]

All right people now have that other thread that they can shit up with their boring serious opinions about me and and their generalized nofunness that I and others can ignore, and now there's this thread that everyone who likes threads that are basically for joking around and not being douchebags can post in, an optimal posting environment for all would-be posters.

CAKE OR PIE people.

Why as a matter of fact that's right, people in colder climates WOULD be better off painting their roofs black, it would be a substantial savings, the important thing is working out where your region tends to fall in the balance between the heat of your summers and the cold of your winters.

who needs soaps

Personal hygiene is part of any good set of daily habits, including a good scrubdown with soap and water! Whether you prefer baths or showers, soap will help you clean off bacteria, avoid unsightly blemishes, and keep you from smelling bad!

Hellboy was a great comic book but I think that the B.P.R.D. title went places that the original just couldn't.

Personally I find pie to be fruit-filled and delicious, whereas cake is generally too light and fluffy for my tastes! Although there are certain situations where pie really isn't appropriate, such as birthdays and other special occasions, and that's when a cake is really what you're after.

It's too bad I overdid it in my quest to be clever. I should have done maybe the first two or three sentences, waited to see if Fifth went with it, and then descended into madness.

My opinion was it was pretty good, you should have kept it going!

Perhaps, but you have failed to consider the fact that people who discuss strategy in an RTS from a balanced/imbalanced perspective are never going to be as productive as people who approach it by asking "What is the best thing player X can do to win in situation Y." Not only is this a much better way to improve one's own skill at the game, it also leads to the kind of innovation in strategy that gives the balance team at the development studio useful information in making balance changes in their patching.
This is clearly damaging to your thesis. How can you hope to sustain an argument in favor of the estate tax in light of this?

Well sir my opinion is that what you are overlooking is the fact that I hold multiple degrees in both opinionology AND talking about things, so the notion that I could have left out anything in my comprehensive dissertation on the matter is in fact, in MY opinion, laughable! As if anyone COULD hold the opinion that my opinions on the thoroughness of German war planning in 1919 are anything less than optimal, let alone the breadth with which I have opined here on the relative beauty of bluejays and plum trees!

You forget, sir, that purpose is an emergent property of the interaction of sapient thought and the external environment, and not a phenomena exigent to our lived experience! How could anyone not watch Sasemeki Koto under such circumstances?

I would expect a pre-poststructuralist to fail to understand my opinion, vis-a-vis my interpretations of Derrida, that Katara was an overbearing, self-righteous TSUNDERE, and that Aang's TRUE love is obviously Tamaki from Bamboo Blade!

Your neo-leftist conservative leanings keep you from seeing the truth. As should be obvious to anyone who has studied the works of A. A. Milne and Kohta Hirano, Glenn Beck's true allegiances lie with the Columbian drug trade.

[Archbio]

This is dumb.

Second Wave Feminism has long been since discredited in academia. Like Marc Bloch outlines in his breakthrough work, Les Rois Thaumaturges (1924,) you've fallen into the age-old trap of not taking into account that George Sand kicks ass.

Edit: And sequels are often superior to the original, an opinion that the makers and performers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer just didn't get.

Mily Cirus is wholly underrated by the internet. Just because you can find her at Wal-Mart does not mean she isn't a musical genius, ya hipsters!

[Fenris]

The fact that she's objectively terrible does though! :knowledge:

Being terrible is underrated.

I need to go find Ivan the Terrible's IMDB profile and register my thoughts on how incorrectly rated he/it is.

How strenuous a program is it that results in an Opinionology degree?

Man in my opinion it would be pretty hard for people without my natural gifts for having opinions which in my opinion I am fortunate to have, but for those who aren't born opinionists man you don't know the kind of grueling work ahead of you if you wanna really develop your expertise in expertology.

Like I bet you laypeople look at a thing and go like "hmmmm well here is a thing, I had better sit here and observe the relevant facts about it, and then make careful assumptions about it, and then test those assumptions about the evidence". Probably you pull out your layperson slide rule that alla you laypeople carry and do like, math or something at the thing. But a real opinionist knows that he has to be brave enough to look at a thing and take the very first idea about it that pops into his head, and make that the unbreakable objective truth that he knows his opinion to be.

And that's not all! Sure with a little training you can learn to HAVE opinions, but what good is an opinion if everyone else in the world doesn't know you have it?! You have to go up to people and tell them that opinion, whether they want to hear it or not! You gotta find the people who disagree with you, and tell 'em they're wrong! You gotta find the people who're neutral, and tell 'em they're jerks! You gotta find the people who have no idea what you're talking about, and harass them until they file restraining orders! You kids today got it easy with your internet and your text messaging and your high-powered telescopes and rapid-shutter cameras but in MY day we had to wander out into the streets and grab random passersby by the lapels, and find out if they were newspaper editors and threaten their families if they didn't publish our letters extensively detailing their grammatical errors!

Yes sir a real opinionist isn't born, he's forged, forged in flames of fire, flames of the fire of knowing without a doubt that you know more than the other guy, and letting no ugly little "fact" getting in the way of your telling them that's so.

The way I understand it, and I have a degree in understandography, is that this thread is for you to ask the expert, i.e. me, my learned opinion on some topic. Then, I tell you what, in my opinion, what we should instead be discussing about, and generously share my opinion on that!

What I really meant to say was: website design should be derived globally from the Golden Number.

Mr. Fifth sir,

As a renowned opinionologist, with relevant degrees in Clinical Opinionology, Opinionist History, Punditery, and Anthropological Opinionry, you can certainly be considered, in my opinion, as one of the world's foremost opinionist scholars. Your work in Eary Childhood Opinioning, Snap Judgement Political Analysis, and Reactionary Opinionism have certainly contributed a wealth of knowledge and new developments to the field of Opinionology. Your career has been absolutely stellar so far, and all indications are that you will continue to expand your breadth of opinions. If I dare give my opinion, you will one day be revered among the giants of Opinionology.

My question for you, sir, is rather open ended, as I know for an opinionologist that is the best kind, providing you maximum opportunity to espouse your views on a wide range of topics, often only marginally related to each other. An opinionologist as distinguished as yourself must have gotten your start somewhere early in life. What inspired you to start down this path? Who was your inspiration? And if you don't mind an additional question, do you have any advice for the youngsters reading this, who may look at you and see in you the inspiration to become opinionologists themsleves? What advice do you have for the opinionologists of the future?

Thank you sir, for your time.

My opinion on the matter is that we would all be best served by staying on the topic regarding the execution of opinionology and not whatever you had in mind to divert the topic away from this grand internets pastime.

And let's never speak of it again!:dance:

Oh, get smart with me, will you? I'll have you know I was having opinions before you were your dad's opinion that your mom should give it up in the backseat of his 1980s Chevy Citation! You opinion-havin' pip-squeaks oughtta get down on your damn knees and thank the opinions of the bold, fearless opinioners like me who made your opinions possible!

You with your fancy opinions book-learnin and your big opinionated words! I got my opinions where real Americans get their opinions - from the streets! And the bar next to the street! And the guy who sits in the corner of the bar mumbling to himself and getting peanuts in his beard and then every so often he jumps up on the bar and strips down to his skivvies and says COME AND GET ME, MOTHERFUCKERS!

OPINIONS!

[Ecks]

Avoiding and deflecting the issue

Your rebuttal is riveting. Personally, I feel that the process of providing wealth to the needy and poor is not nearly so complicated as you seem to believe. It simply involves finding the particular wealthy elite that did not earn their capital, but rather inherited it and let the interest on it amass more wealth to pass down, and either through coercion or intelligent discourse, convince them that this large quantity of money and assets is put to better use via charity or projects that benefit the impoverished, rather than lining their pockets and vaults. Those that have earned their capital have beat the system, and deserve to keep it. But they have to use it or donate it prior to their death, or their beneficiaries (the people who would inherit the money, in excess of $500,000 USD) would be subject to the aforementioned process of breaking their wills convincing them to part with their money for the greater good.

Is that not better than the current system of trying (and failing) to tax the wealthy (because they pay a lot of this amassed money to lobbyists, who then "grease the wheels" of government to favor the wealthy in any and all attempts to tax or put pressure on those with old money)? Or trying to use government money to help alleviate the impoverished (which also fails, due to the corruption of legislators and government employees)?

As much as you wish to denounce such discourse as trolling, and therefore inferior to and unworthy of inclusion in spaces given over to proper argument, you cannot escape the fact that arguments on the Internet are never about learning and the free exchange of ideas, but competitive, futile exercises in demonstrating one's own superior knowledge, righteousness, manly endowment, and romantic conquests. Are we really so different, you and I? No, Internet arguing and trolling are merely different ways of bolstering one's own unjustified self-regard through the belittling of others. How can you claim to have brought Dada, which makes a mockery not only of the idea of ages, but of the notion of linear time in which the idea of ages is situated, into the Internet age?
