Wait, Hogwarts isn't real?

Maybe this? If so, I can't wait to get old!

To being able to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest wiiiiiith, A Herring!

From my experience it seems to be an issue of wanting control and self assurance. That being, "if all these people think and say the same thing as me, I MUST be doing the right thing!"

Holy smokes were you right! The comments section where Gene responds to things is hilarious. It reads like butt-hurt and frustration.

Fellow Tulsa dweller here, you're preachin' to the choir brother.

I wish people would stop bringing Oklahoma into these things...

Don't worry, we're prepared. Since we took a huge dump on our roads/highways funding, the potholes are now large enough that if you see a tornado that you should swerve your car into one and it should just pass you right by.

I propose we put forward this rule in golf as well, you get to eat when you win.

Finally, an excuse to play Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins when I try and swat the lil bastards!

What I find humorous about the current topic and the posts being flung onto the wall like so much feces is that posts like yours good sir, whether I agree or not, add to the discussion and yet are being modded flamebait for no real apparent reason. After this modding, posts such as yours usually have a small flood of ACs follow your commentary with short, witless posts which quite frankly add nothing to the discourse. I'm all for being an AC from time to time, as it serves a purpose. However, at the moment, it feels like it is being abused by one or a few select individuals whose goals seem to be to misrepresent the dialog being built under this topic and burying that which they do not agree with.

Now, mind you my post is off-topic and I will expect it will be modded as such, as the flood of AC seems to be cresting quite the large wave as of late. This AC behavior has been growing as of late, and seems most apparent on politically charged topics. I only hope this pattern is temporary and just wished to say, bravo for having the balls to attach your name to your beliefs.

My personal favorite! *sigh* Oh well.

Honestly, his response has made me consider Apple now that I am looking for a replacement for my current aging MP3 player. (It's going on 5 years now and is starting to act funky)
