Can you see the greater effect posting something from Smithsonian might have on people rather than whatever that other site was?

pot/kettle argument. However, valid sources often spew crap and crappy sources

The problem is that a lot of the "better" sources don't publish articles like

And mine have been trashed. I'm rocking in the corner.

It's so hilarious to see the offense taken over two sentences. Love it.

JamesDean

I think we all know why the last article was on the site James linked to

Baron

so, that means no one can find it interesting?

TheDeek

5/27/15 10:09am

No people can find it interesting. I mean I still get crazy forwarded emails

Baron

5/27/15 10:16am

that's not even the point, and that you can't see that that's not the point

erkimust

5/27/15 10:19am

Not the point? Every one of you missed the point of the OP.

JamesDean

The irony.

Man, that was hard to find if a guy was interested.

JamesDean

That's the point - not hard at all.

I can see the difference, but my point was that the original poster saw

ha ha, I love that you guys really believe this.

Kind of like you thinking I'm offended or upset...

Wow. The fact that he's even familiar with crap like that says it all.

I love that you guys (whatever that means, it sounds condescending) get all bent

Watching people take offense at anything I post and then think I'm offended

JamesDean

Yeah. That's what happens. Sure.

I don't think you know what "take offense" actually means.

erkimust

I don't think you know what I know...or something like that.

Will someone please make a list of the "dolts of CB" approved sources.

Will someone please, first, make a list of the "dolts of cougarboard"?

It's called the posse. please.

I'm so glad I'm a mental halfling...I can't stand those mental midgets.

You mean a raving bum like Barabbas and an apostle like Judas Iscariot?

TLDR: if you don't read hyperbolic clickbait, you're intellectually lazy.

erkimust

5/27/15 4:03pm

TLDR? Really? The phrase "intellectually lazy" debuted in the final sentence.

BluePete

5/27/15 4:10pm

Your list has a definite tilt to one side of the political spectrum.
