Title: Completely Useless...
Post by: Mac on June 11, 2012, 07:44:37 am
Talk about those things that are completely useless...

Let's start off with that little pocket on jeans. I remember once trying to put a couple of coins in it, but that sucked. I can’t imagine anybody using them now. Must be a customary and decorative thing today. Bam… totally useless!!!

Anything associated with Kardashian’s or Jersey Shore clan… bam, bam – Useless!!!

Reality TV or more precisely anybody on TV or in the news with no discernible talent, skill or value… bam, bam, bam – useless!!!

Did just put Kardashian’s and watch pocket in the same category? Yes I did  ;D

Billboards.... totally useless.

I hate them. I've never depended on them and certainly was not swayed by them.

I believe Utah or Nevada might have laws against their use. Something about polluting the visual beauty of the countryside.

Gnats and Fly's.

Can't believe they have any use to humans.

Without one of them, Jeff Goldblum's breakout role would have been called.......The Caterpillar. So, it did serve a useful purpose for the writer when banging out the script. (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i266/Chiprocks1/Smilies/0%20All%20Smilies/HTL_biggrin.gif)

I forgot we had this thread. How appropriate.

I was having dinner the other night while my wife had some 'Entertainment' program on. They started to talk about the Kardashian's. I was totally blown away that this is still a thing. They absolutely reported on nothing. It was what they wearing. Some kind of misunderstanding on some tweets. Then it happened again the following night. There's always a story of a Kardashian and what they are doing.

I just wanted to put an icepick in my head. First for realizing that especially this 'news' is so shallow. Secondly, that must mean there are tons of people who want this.

I debated with myself to put this under WTF, or Extreme or Douche, but decided here.

So Five Police Officers Killed in Dallas (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/07/08/like-a-little-war-snipers-shoot-11-police-officers-during-dallas-protest-march-killing-five/#comments)

So a discussion on the violence is a thread on it's own, but I wanted to point out the continued frustration of the 'Comments' section. It seems, no, it's a fact, any news stories comments section quickly devolves into political blaming. I don't care what the subject is, idiots immediately begin to throw politics into their comments. Gawd, I find this moronic to the point of just not reading them anymore.

Your life has become some uber-focused on one subject (politics), you have no room in your brain to be able to discuss anything about the matter at hand without throwing your supposedly stab at the other's politics.

To what purpose?

I'm sorry, but your f**king idiot and your wasting my time. I especially hate it when they throw out what they perceive as cute and witty O-bummer's and Kankles labeling. WTF is that? Just help me identify quickly not to continue on reading your thought process.

How do horrible new reports like this turn political. It doesn't make any sense.

and it doesn't take long for it to shoot up into News

Former congressman blames Obama for Dallas shooting after deleting threatening tweet (http://www.miamiherald.com/latest-news/article88397002.html)

Everyone has their opinions and because the internet was made to express them, it offers a lot and I mean A LOT of idiots a forum to say what they want to say because in real life, they probably don't have anyone to talk to. Certainly no one that wants to listen to what they blather on and on about. This is their outlet and they most likely think that what they are saying is highly intelligent. The internet is both a blessing and a curse. I usually don't read other sites comments for the very reason you stated.
