Now Now, None Of That Fun Nonsense

[Slyfox696]

Yes they did. And I exaggerated the price of the shirts: they were $18 each.

The logo would probably explain why they were more expensive.

I spoke from my pov. If that makes me "ignorant" or a "hypocrite" or whatever, then fine, I'm willing to accept it.

No, speaking from your point of view doesn't make you a hypocrite and ignorant. It's you criticizing others for the exact same thing you're doing which makes you a hypocrite, and doing it to people you don't know is what makes you ignorant.


Has this round of debating been as fun as you were hoping for when you last said we need to debate?

 

[PlayTheGame]

Hmm. I think you did a better job in the last one, honestly.

Finally, I have to ask...do you know what a hypocrite is? I'm almost getting the sense you have the wrong idea of what the word means. The reason I say this is because of this statement you make later in the thread:

He also doesn't properly understand the word "pretentious".

 

[PlayTheGame]

He also doesn't properly understand the word "pretentious".

I'm pretty sure that's you, buddy.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

See.

 

[PlayTheGame]

Your need to insert yourself here is pretty showy.

 

[Slyfox696]

As great as I am, I can't always be as great as I was the time previous. I'll just have to take solace in the fact I accurately pegged your position for the ignorant hypocrisy it was. And I'll take further comfort in the fact I made it apparent to several people who read this thread, to the point others were trying to explain it to you. Finally, I'll take my joy in knowing I transformed a thread bashing educators into a thread in which nearly everyone who posted did so with the intent of posting in opposition to you, a fact you even acknowledged earlier in the thread.

Perhaps I wasn't as good as I was last time, but I do think I still did pretty damn good.

It wasn't bashing educators, Sly. School administrators, such as office workers. And you really didn't do much to defend them, because the overwhelming opinion on them still seems to be rather negative, starting from the beginning of the thread.

And hey, if you want to be proud of writing on an internet forum, go ahead.

I believe it was Sir Vin Diesel that said "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch, a mile or on an internet forum; winning's winning."

School administrators, such as principals, are educators.

And you really didn't do much to defend them, because the overwhelming opinion on them still seems to be rather negative, starting from the beginning of the thread.

How am I going to defend school administrators I don't know? Trying to do so would make me look as ignorant as you have looked. I cannot vouch for the integrity of the principal you've had experience with, as I don't know him. I can tell you that the vast majority of school administrators and main office workers I've had experience with (and I would imagine I've had experience with far more than you have) are not how you are trying to depict them.

And hey, if you want to be proud of writing on an internet forum, go ahead.

Why wouldn't I be? Does the written word lose prestige based solely upon where it is written? I've read many books in my life, and I can tell you many of my posts are far superior to the caliber of writing I've read in some of those books.

I can only speak from my experience here but my high school admins were not the nicest people. Very strict and nitpicked about every little thing. Of course it doesn't help that most of the kids in that school were pains in the ass. Elementary school admins were pretty cool but my middle and high school admins were douchbags lol.

When I was leaving school a group of us thought it would be amusing to hide the hymn books in various locations around the school. We put them in wheelie bins and were going to leave cryptic clues, but hadn't factored in how heavy it would be. So instead we wrote "P.S. They're in the wheelie bins" and left them there. Wasn't particularly earth shattering, but the next day, the teacher, not knowing who was involved, compared it to "rape and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia".

 

[Gelgarin]

Did they deposit dead Bosniaks in wheelie bins?

 

[Tastycles]

I have no idea. I couldn't really even figure out what his point was trying to be.

That being said, had he seen us, he might have thought we were dressed like Serbian paramilitaries.
