A black person bit his mother when he was young and sucked the whiteness out of her.

[McDonald]

I hate when people say: "This guy looks like he is asian, sorry if I'm racist." How is that racist, damnit!

[Putnam]

Defening. Saying things like "music videos today are all about sex!" or "technology is ruining the youth!" or "music today is shit" because the little dipshits are either too young to know about the scores of shitty music of their given favorite decade or too nostalgia-blinded to remember it while they look upon the most popular music of today as if it's the only music being made nowadays because they're too fucking lazy to even think about seeking stuff they might like.

Agreed.

[Tawa]

I agree with your point, although the fact that most of your post focuses on the last thing you said is kinda odd.

^{_{It also feels like you offhandedly called a few forumites (including myself) 'little dipshits', but whatever.}}

I think I may have gotten carried away there, especially since "little dipshits" was supposed to refer specifically to the kind of people who are like "I'm 12 and I listen to Queen I'm so cool"

Still better than the ones who wear Nirvana shirts and don't know who Cobain is.

Or people of any age who insist that the vast majority of Pink Floyd songs aren't shit (unless you're really high)...

I think that the best musical argument I see often is probably the one about Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers re: "It's 'Born to Lose'!" "No, moron, it's 'Born too Loose'!" from the people who don't actually own the album (or know how to use a search engine) and thus can't check and notice that they're both right; on the original release it's Born to Lose; on the Lost '77 Mixes release of L.A.M.F. the first track on disc one is Born to Lose, the first track on disc two (which is remixes, demos, &c.) is Born too Loose; on the definitive edition they're both labeled Born too Loose. It's bloody hilarious to see hundred+comment chains of rage about that one, heh.

In fairness, I could understand the confusion that could arise from that particular example. Especially if you only ever heard the titles spoken (say, on the radio) instead of reading them

[Flying Dice]

Naturally, but it's almost farcical how people will devolve to the written equivalent of incoherent mouth-foaming rage over the spelling of a song title, both versions of which are grammatically correct and carry connotations that make sense both objectively and in the context of the group. Of course if they weren't both correct, it'd actually be a mistake worth pointing out, because the implied meaning is different, but in this case it's just people who are so busy being pedantic that they don't even bother to fact-check themselves. I mean, when I first encountered that argument, it took me maybe ten minutes to find my copy of the album and check, and then ten seconds with wikipedia to double check. 

[Sirus]

Eh, no arguments here.

It is indeed a bad internet habit

People who answer a question on Yahoo Ask just to point out that they think the question is dumb.

Don't answer it then, fucklord! Nobody gives triple shit about your cheeky smartass "answer".

People who seriously look to Yahoo users for quality content. :V
