View Full Version : Is Sciforums a Waste of Time?
TruthSeeker 03-22-04, 03:47 PM It's incredible the amount of people that spend so much time here just putting other people down. Like... don't people have anything better to do? I want just a simple intelligent mature conversation to go on, but all that people can do is to call you dumb, idiotic or anything like that.
For example, the Religion Forums are populated by atheists that just put religious people down just for the sake of... whatever. In the other hand, the religious folks don't respect the atheists either.
Even the Free Thoughts are populated by people that just post junk in threads, insulting other members and wasting other's times.
Common people! If you don't agree with someone, can you at least respect each other!?!? Don't you have anything better to do than making fun of people in a forums in the internet? Get a life! If you don't want to have a meaningful conversation, go away! Don't post junk that just takes pages of replies of stupid childish conversations such as "it is your falut - no it is your fault". Those conversations takes pages and pages and go nowhere because nobody is opened to the other person. Not to metion that it probably slows down the site.
Please, give me some hope for this world. Have a meaningful conversation! :bugeye:
Will you do us all a favour and stop asking such incredibly stupid questions? Obviously what you think is mature is way off base, because generally your discussions on this board are about girls not having sex with you.
I am a very sad individual, and insulting other people is the only thing I have to hold on to in life. Why do you want to take that away from me?
TruthSeeker 03-22-04, 04:09 PM Will you do us all a favour and stop asking such incredibly stupid questions? Obviously what you think is mature is way off base, because generally your discussions on this board are about girls not having sex with you.
First of all, I haven't asked any stupid question. What happens is that you are way too immature to nearly understand what I'm saying. Not to mention that my questions are usually rethoric and asked just for the sake of making fun of myself and, certainly, of you... :rolleyes:
Lack of sex is certainly not my problem at all. In fact, I have no problem in a way. I mean... how can girls wanting to go out with me be a problem. In fact, I even prefer just being their friends right now. If they are not mature enough to have a meaningful relationship, it is their problem. But I'm certainly not up to have a meaningless relationship with immature girls. :bugeye:
Too bad it seems that most people are so immature... :rolleyes:

That's sad...
Shmoo,
please please don't be sad. ;)
No, seriously, people mostly don't like to be around those who are sad or those whom they pity. So if you want to be taken seriously when insulting others, quit being sad! :m:
Dreamwalker 03-22-04, 04:13 PM Truth to tell, I got nothing better to do right now, I have a problem with sleep, so I stay up late (right now it is 23:11 in Germany) even if I have to go to school in the morning. My friends, on the contrary, do not stay up late on normal schooldays. If they perchance do it anyway, they watch TV because they are too lazy to move. So pleeeeaaase do not blame me for venting my frustration a bit. Boredom is the worst friend. :(
Sorry for that stupid Astral Projection thread (if anyone read it), the page just got me annoyed. :D
What happens is that you are way too immature to nearly understand what I'm saying.
Wow, thanks for insulting me. I appreciate that. Although you are right, I'm hardly mature enough to deal with such issues as telling your mother that you might one day date a woman 10 years older than yourself.
Not to mention that my questions are usually rethoric and asked just for the sake of making fun of myself and, certainly, of you... :rolleyes:
So you admit to making threads and asking questions for the sole reason of making fun of me? That seems terribly immature, childish, and mean. I also don't understand why you are rolling your eyes at me? Perhaps you have a perverse pleasure in insulting me?
Too bad it seems that most people are so immature... :rolleyes:
Yes. Too bad indeed.
That's sad...
Why do you insist on judging me?
SwedishFish 03-22-04, 04:33 PM yes, and so?
TruthSeeker 03-22-04, 04:41 PM Wow, thanks for insulting me. I appreciate that. Although you are right, I'm hardly mature enough to deal with such issues as telling your mother that you might one day date a woman 10 years older than yourself.
Well... immaturity is not really an insult. Everyone is immature at some point in their lives. All that it takes is just some learning, that's all.
As for "telling your mother that you might one day date a woman 10 years older", that is not the issue. The issue is wheter I should tell her that this is happening right NOW. You are probably not a parent, but parents are often concerned with their kid's decisions. It is not an easy job to be a parent. I think the key to answer my question is just how much my mother trust that I will make the right decision. Still, difference of age is certainly a common issue in relationships. And it might become an interesting discussion of that, if people don't use the thread just to insult me.
So you admit to making threads and asking questions for the sole reason of making fun of me? That seems terribly immature, childish, and mean. I also don't understand why you are rolling your eyes at me? Perhaps you have a perverse pleasure in insulting me?
I said I like making fun of myself and people. Yes, I said "you", but English is a terrible language... :rolleyes: :D
Why do you insist on judging me?
I'm not judging you.
TruthSeeker 03-22-04, 04:44 PM yes, and so?
Huummm... this is the most interesting answer so far...
Do you think it is nice to come to have a meaningful conversation and see all those people that are here just to put other people down?
wesmorrisbabe 03-22-04, 04:55 PM TruthSeeker: There are a lot of cocky motherfuckers, yes. But, that's just how it goes on this forum. I find it to be wasteful to argue with some who bitterly whines their point until they are blue in the face. It takes balls to present an argument and to do so with a lot of evidence but it takes more balls to listen to opposing arguments without getting personally offended, to troll, and take arguments so seriously. That just shows lack of character.
SwedishFish 03-22-04, 04:56 PM i think you take this place too seriously

Very well said.
The part of the balls is even greater, I couldn't say it better... :D
TruthSeeker 03-22-04, 04:58 PM i think you take this place too seriously
I believe there is a certain degree of sriousness that we should deal with things. For example, we have rules in society so that we can live through some guidelines and with some order. My seriousness ends in the point where everyone should respect one another. I don't mind making fun of myself and of things here. I don't mind making jokes. But seeing people insulting others or being insulted is simply unnaceptable.
SwedishFish 03-22-04, 05:08 PM this is a message board, what do you expect? just have fun with it.
Dreamwalker 03-22-04, 05:14 PM I would agree that a certain degree of seriousness would not be so bad, but this is a free forum, so the people are free to post things they think funny.
Questions and question and ........ :bugeye:
I consider some of the stupid conflict here like evil porn: better that people carry it out in a fantasy environment than visit it on people face to face.
Princess 03-22-04, 06:57 PM What is a waste of my time is reading inane posts from TruthSeeker who seems to view this forum as group therapy. You pose a question and people give you advice. Then you spend the rest of the thread discussing each point ad nauseum. Do us all a favor, grow up, step away from the computer and quit thinking that every girl that rubs against you or is nice to you wants to bear your four children. For fuck's sake, just enjoy your youth and quit airing your baggage on this forum unless you crave abuse from the Sciforums family.
Wow.
I mean, wow.
(It's not all that "wow," since one "wow" would suffice, but since one "wow" isn't "wow" enough to qualify as a post, I must add a second. This in no way should be construed as a protest of the minimum post-length requirement, but rather a temperance of the degree of "wow" expressed herein.)
sargentlard 03-22-04, 09:27 PM Most of the conversations I have with people IRL are a waste of time...compared to that Sciforums is great. So it isn't a waste of time for me. As for insulting others; I use to be into it and then through examples of other posters I came to realize just how childish and laughable it is.
Carrying out a war of words with top notch insults against a digital character is a cause for revaluation of certain characteristics, as well as airing personal buisness in great detail. Anonymity and repose should be practiced more on any forum.
Well... immaturity is not really an insult. Everyone is immature at some point in their lives. All that it takes is just some learning, that's all.

I'm not judging you.
I'm sorry, but In most societies immaturity is not a valued trait. I think you knew that just fine, and proceeded to call me immature anyway. Is that not judging? Who are you to decide how immature I am? This isn't fact, calling me immature was simply your opinion.
Isn't this terribly hypocritical of you? I try to explain why I insult people, and you throw it back in my face like an angry victim of adultery might throw a fine glass of champagne in their partner's face.
You also claim you want mature and intelligent discussion, but you just told me several posts earlier that you make threads just to MAKE FUN OF THE SCIFORUMS COMMUNITY. How do you explain yourself?

If you want intelligent conversation i suggest going out with your friends and talking to them. The people on this forum do not know each other and i'm guessing most of them would never get along if they met. That is why so many threads become worthless with meaningless messages where someone is trying to act smarter than someone else, as opposed to developing the discussion. there are some other forums out there where this happens less frequently, but generally i could only think to suggest going out to the local pub with friends.
spuriousmonkey 03-23-04, 02:10 AM It is pretty much a waste of time.
(i should refer now to the fact that all answers to biological questions asked can be found in text books)
crazymikey 03-23-04, 04:43 AM Nebuch said it well, if you want an intelligent discussion. There are three ways:
1: Find people like me :D
2: Go to the pub and find people like me :D
3: Go to a High IQ socieity board, make top 1-5% of the population on an IQ test and find people like me :D
Anyway this sciforum board is not intelligent at all, in my opinion. People seem to enjoy cussing each other or saying stupid things. In general, people here, are too close-minded and childish. Most here, are not here for discussion, but massaging their ego, or vanity trips. Im right, you're right, I cant hear you - lalalalalalalala
What is the average age here, do you know>?
Nebuchadnezzaar 03-23-04, 05:21 AM cheers mikey,
btw i'm 74 years young
immane1 03-23-04, 11:20 AM I'm guessing the average age here is somewhere around 23-24. What do you people expect? My first 160 or so posts, I never called anyone a name, much less swore. I stopped posting for a while, then came back. Now I curse a little and sometimes call people names. This is much more fun! Sure, I know it's childish, but I come here for the entertainment value mostly. I also try to help others out now and then by giving useful computer advice, etc. Look, people tend to have strong opinions about religion, politics, and a few other subjects. This is nothing new. Now sod off you bloody wankers!
TruthSeeker 03-23-04, 01:35 PM I'll answer my own question: yes... :rolleyes:

I think I will go away again... It is such a waste of time. Not the first time this happens... :o
there are some other forums out there where this happens less frequently, but generally i could only think to suggest going out to the local pub with friends.
Ha, how I wish I could do that. Unfortunetly I live two different lives and the way I act on here is in no way related to how I act in real life, and the friends I have made couldn't hold an intelligent conversation for more than 2 minutes.
What is the average age here, do you know>?
Someone should hold a post about that one, as for me, Im not giving out my age, personal reasons.
Now sod off you bloody wankers!
ewww :bugeye:
Lemming3k 03-23-04, 03:21 PM Theres a post about demographics in this section of the forum somewhere, think most people are 20-40 if i remember rightly, as for is it a waste of time, depends who your discussing with.
ElectricFetus 03-23-04, 07:12 PM Of course it’s a waste of time, a fun and intellectual waste of time but a waste of time none the less.
Ozymandias 03-26-04, 09:56 AM It all depends on what you qualify as a waste of time, doesn't it?
cosmictraveler 03-26-04, 10:08 AM Of course its a waste of time , but oh how much fun we can have while wasting it! :D
roscann 03-26-04, 11:56 AM Is there really any point to this thread???? Oh wait im missing the point! We are wasting time and having fun with it. Koolness. :D
Jadebrain_Prime 03-03-07, 04:52 PM This will probably be my only post in this thread, so don't bother asking me any questions, but I must say that TruthSeeker has a point, and the proof of the legitimacy of the post is obvious when you consider the fact that even certain moderators *cough*(Q)*cough* on this website have participated in needless insulting in what may have otherwise been an interesting and enjoyable online conversation.

:bawl:
This will probably be my only post in this thread, so don't bother asking me any questions
:shrug:
Nickelodeon 03-05-07, 11:06 AM If you've been reading any of my posts, then you've definately been wasting your time.
I admit if I didn't have so much time at this boring job I wouldn't be here. Without SF I'd be dead of a massive boredom attack within minutes.
Redefine91 03-05-07, 06:52 PM eh, sciforums beats watching infomercials late at night.
I can't have intelligent conversations with my friends, so I come here. On the occasion. So I am not wasting time.
And I do wonder about people who go to parapsy to prove it's fraud or something... But I guess if you can't ignore people who disagree with you, you have lost already..
A page of Forum is too short to be wasted on replying to posts with no content. (And besides, if you give attention everytime someone insults you, they'll be conditioned to insult you!)
Syzygys 03-06-07, 09:26 PM Please, give me some hope for this world.
Sorry buddy, but no hope. Here is the explanation:
Most people are stupid. Unless Sciforums gets an unrepresentative sample of the people (which isn't the case) most posters here are also stupid.
The main problem is that people whom I like and could give a run for my money I agree with and agreement makes boring conversation...
Nickelodeon 03-19-07, 06:09 AM Was this thread created during Sciforums' glory days?
spuriousmonkey 03-19-07, 06:12 AM Was this thread created during Sciforums' glory days?
They were already referring to the good old days in 2004 I think.
