There is a slight difference between complaining and a discussion.

The first one, if used right, can provoke the other.

There has to be a brain around though, not just a mouth.

I shot hot assed pictures of a girl fucking herself with a dildo this morning.

Aside from that, I agree with alot of what you say on this issue, Carlos. There are alot of jerk offs and morons out there. Alot of them find their way online just to remind us that they exist.

To bad there is no IQ test you have to pass before you are granted internet access, but think about what the world would be like if there was........ The only sane place in the world would be online, outside the morons would be everywhere.

Tom_PM · 03-13-2009, 11:19 AM

I always felt that the beauty of BBS's and eventually the internet, was that you could be just thoughts. No face, no race, no gender, no preconceived notions.. just your thoughts.

Not saying it's anonymous or private, because it most certainly is not. Just saying it's a nice outlet right at your fingertips. Thats pretty cool.

Please read this entire thread once again, it can change your life, you might be an idiot only from 85 pct. after you reduce the time that you'll waste in web 2.0.

LOL

geez man i think i was on AOL in 1972

Another one on my ignore, here are my reasons why:

a) this person will complain with you all day long on any topic you want - I am not sure now, but this even has its term in psychiatry

b) this person is trying to sound like an intellectual and most probably considers itself being one, well let's give him some credit - a credit of a pseudo intellectual who can't say a word without trying to sound overly interesting

Both these points don't change anything on the fact that:

c) this person most likely has some serious self esteem issues

It's a sad world we live in!

I'm actually just studying something regarding the marketing in the web 2.0 space.

I'll never do any personal profile, but I want to push my mainstream sites with different profiles etc. once I'll be launching them around May.

I even want to hire some cute college chick to do the regular mailbox / profiles checking / posting / friend additions for me.

Here you go... this is what it all boils down to:

And I agree with you, only thing to do is to get off the internet...

The left wing populism and social society is breeding illusional mental cases to say what they feels... without verifing any claims...

If you dont know what you are talking about on a subject, Shut you mouth..

Missleading info and gospels stories should be punished with Jail TIME...

It breeds more mediocracy in society..

However, this is often attacked on the following bases: it is located on a site that is opinionated or has a slant--therefore the facts in the link can't be trusted, the link isn't dated or is dated in the past--therefore the facts aren't new enough, etc. Sometimes, if people are determined to drink the COOLAID, there's nothing reasonable people can do even if the COOLAID package has a Skull and Crossbones warning on it.

maxjohan · 03-19-2009, 12:10 PM

Populists are seen by some politicians as a largely democratic and positive force in society, even while a wing of scholarship in political science contends that populist mass movements are irrational and introduce instability into the political process.

Margaret Canovan argues that both these polar views are faulty, and has defined two main branches of modern populism worldwide ? agrarian and political ? and mapped out seven disparate sub-categories:

Agrarian

Commodity farmer movements with radical economic agendas such as the US People's Party of the late 19th century.

Subsistence peasant movements, such as the Eastern European Green Rising militias, which followed World War I.

Intellectuals who wistfully romanticize hard-working farmers and peasants and build radical agrarian movements like the Russian narodniki.

Political

Populist democracy, including calls for more political participation through reforms such as the use of popular referendums.

Politicians' populism marked by non-ideological appeals for "the people" to build a unified coalition.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism

Reactionary populism, such as the white backlash harvested by George Wallace.
Populist dictatorship, such as that established by Getulio Vargas in Brazil.

Yes, when idiots have unrestricted access to more and more idiots in these days global village, it inevitably results in nothing else than even more hardcore and practically uncontrollable idiocy.

I'm starting to feel that idiocy is going to be the real and crucial problem of the near future.

It seems like you're jealous of those you deem "inferior" to you for being able to make friends and enjoy life online. That you are fixated on "rating" people based on some subjective criteria in your mind. That comes across to me as someone dealing with self-esteem issues and having trouble adjusting to new social dynamics.

And maybe that is why people enjoy the internet and social networks. They don't have to be judged on things like body size, income, and whether they can beat up the guy next to them. They can meet with people of similar interests and be judged for themselves. The can avoid people like you who are more concerned about who is "superior" to one another.

That's why porn took off online. You didn't have to fit into some social standards. If you liked double anal, you could get into it online. You didn't have to deal with someone deeming you "inferior".

It seems that we never talked together apart from board posting.

Yes, there was never a doubt I have trouble adjusting to the new social dynamics, I rather read a good book, drink, sleep, have sex, make money, spend time talking about bullshit with my real life friends or those few people from online I regard as friends, than to read idiot posts (unless I'm in the right mood or drunk or something).

But you're right, I did spend a lot of time on GFY, I could actually also tell you why, indeed I do have a reason - it's profitable for me - that's life, the opportunity cost is inevitable with everything you do.

Yet from 99 pct. they try to exxagerate exactly everything that you just mentioned in the cyberworld, as they can't face the person in person, they AVOID the judgment by trying to be judged as something different than what they are.

What is wrong with being challenged?

Isn't this what keeps us going? Isn't this what keeps us (or should keep us) working on improving ourselves?

What is wrong on being judged?

Isn't that the only way how to gain reputation if you're a well balanced individual with the appropriate social skills in the right collective?

Everyone has a chance to sensibly answer me, I don't want anyone to hide behind this keyboard, I only encourage a REAL discussion.

Is it not the community you belong to?

Will the new social standards in the global village called internet be the most superficial / fake / influenced by a mass of unverifiable user submitted data that are from 99 pct. without any real informational value?

People exxagerate in everything. Go to a bar and you'll hear men telling women that they make more money than they do and that they aren't married. Go to a golf course and you'll have guy embelish their shots and lie about how well they played. People will always try to impress others. This is not an internet exclusive thing in society.

Each community will have different social standards and different levels of superficial people. I think for the majority of them, most people are not concerned about it. They don't care. It's just the internet and just something they do for fun. Just like going to a party, we meet people and have to judge on our own what's true or not. If I meet a girl at a bar, it's not easy for me to verify that she isn't married. Same goes for the web.

Many people online and in real life aren't concerned with what people think. When I go to a bar, I don't feel the need to impress everyone and try to build a "reputation". I just be myself and go from there. You seem very concerned about how people view you on the internet, which I don't think is the norm in society. I don't think it's taken as serious as you might.

Is criticism a sign that something is wrong with someone these days, did we reach the times of excellence?

Are people so cultured, balanced, reliable and excellent these days there's no reason for criticism?

That's a valid point, it's just so you can at least get laid or something if you paint castles on the sky in a bar, so I can see at least REAL motivation to do so, a REAL goal.

REAL is the key word here.

I recommend to check any super popular site and I'm seriously afraid it's NOT that the majority of active posters would "NOT care".

The fact that they CARE is the key reason they return to these sites.

Well in fact, I really am concerned about this, I think it's nothing but a huge time waster.

Not only that time is money, time is the most important capital an individual can exploit, the leaders of men, the best of us knew this better than anyone else.

What I see in web 2.0. is:

- a communication without a real recipient
- a communication without a real purpose

many times even:

- a communication without a real information in it

Do I need to go any further?

You know, my job is very much measured the way I'm able to impress people inside and outside the company.

The more impressive I will be, the better skills I have, the more effective I am, the better the numbers get, the more contracts get signed, the less bullshit I need to solve inside the company, the more control I have about the whole organization - a man is his job.

If I will be the last in the line sitting in the corner, whining, hiding, so no one will get any opinion about me, I'll never get what I want.

I was there in the past, I used to be a shy kid, thank you very much, I'm not interested in this.

While I don't completely agree or disagree with you Carlos, I will say that it is good for business, stupidity is the easiest thing to monetize. As more idiots spend their time online, the larger the market grows for us webmasters. I still am amazed by the evolution of web 2.0 advertising avenues. Theres seems to be a new and potent way to reach the idiots every month or so. (I'm speaking as an adult/mianstream webmaster, not as a GTBill employee).

The access to the consumer preferences is great, the problem is how to effectively target the preferences though.

I would never ever start anything for the "general audience" these days.

There's no value in having more and more people waste your bandwith without you being able to effectively target and monetize their needs.

What I plan to do starting May as a side project will be also extremely specialized, and I know there's none or very few online services like this on the web.

I want only people who really do look for this finding it (needless to mention it will be totally mainstream).

If you ever seen judge Judy, you know what the social society have been bringing to the table.

There's 1 in 10 on that show that can explain what they mean in 3 sentences. Others on there have to bring up everything, like every little meaningless detail and social play in their life before the event.

The same on Internet boards, you can see it more on mainstream boards, than here.

Someone is posting to knock down in on there money making scheme, but they can't tell it right out, they have to de-value their own information/opinion in some kind of way, before they get to post their opinion.

I wonder if there's some kind of psychological term for this. It's certainly a breeding from the social society we live in. "No one can take too much space, we all have to be part of the herd"

Especially women are bad at getting to the point. It's no wonder there arent many women in the top of enterprises. They are too concerned about being political correct and getting along with everybody.

And on top of that, we have the feminist and the likes, blaming others and society because there arent any women on the tops.

Guess what, they arent there for a reason....they are better suited in healthcare and other fields.

Internet is a great cultural source if you spend more time educating yourself and less chasing "idiots" and fat chicks. Hell, even YouTube is quickly becoming a major cultural source for me - lots of rare and beautiful music there from around the world I woudn't have a chance of hearing otherwise.

It always reminds me of one of the movies that influenced me the most - the legendary Easy Rider from 1969.

I was a 12 year old kid, that was right after the break, and it was so cool that you could watch Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda in your local theater.

It was a warm summer evening and my sister was dating a guy from New Jersey at that time, we went to the cinema together.

I remember Jack Nicholson, who was just about staring his acting career and played the crazy guy who joined them and then got killed by a bunch of morons - he said something like:

"if you're free, if you don't live by THEIR silly standards that were set by THEM, they're afraid of you"

I guess he pretty much nailed it

And it makes sense, because people are usually afraid of things that are different or things they don't understand, the whole organized church would never exist if someone would not be able to effectively scare people with something they don't understand.

So many people at the end don't understand a plenty of things and issues, and they get scared, which can as well result in something more animal like.

And I'm always very, very disappointed, when I face this coming from USA.

A country that was always, at least for me personally a country that praises success, skills, originality and attitude.

A country that praises the strength and skills of an individual over the sheep mentality of the crowd.

A country that praises its heroes and successful people as an inspiration for masses.

Unfortunately, and it's something that I can't forgive the modern TV, the web 2.0., something I can't forgive the modern day mass media in general - they made being a mediocre ignorant animal a standard.

And they just show it all the time and they target the animal instincts in you to exploit the rankings and get more advertising dollars, while masses are actually watching it, what's the worst I'm afraid some of them even take it semi seriously.

Guess what, they arent there for a reason....they are better suited in healthcare and other fields.

Well, there sure are women out there, who can get to the point so well they even turn me on,

And there are women who are strong, well organized and well balanced, so they make good executives, but you can also immediately feel it's in their personal nature, and it's not something they learned at a university or that they read in a book and now try to play.

You can also see they all are enjoying being women, being attractive, taking good care of themselves, having kids (the biggest managerial quest out there) and behave naturally and spontaneously - no pseudo feminist "fight the cock" bullshit.

I know personally a few even in this business and I have a lot of respect to them, as well as I do always enjoy their inspiring company.

But yeah, I also don't pick up the phone to some of the women in my phone book, I just always tell them to drop me a line..

Aside from that, I agree with alot of what you say on this issue, Carlos. There are alot of jerk offs and morons out there. Alot of them find their way online just to remind us that they exist. To bad there is no IQ test you have to pass before you are granted internet access, but think about what the world would be like if there was........ The only sane place in the world would be online, outside the morons would be everywhere. __________________ I'm funner than AIDS, and easier to explain to your parents.

No face, no race, no gender, no preconceived notions.. just your thoughts. Not saying it's anonymous or private, because it most certainly is not. Just saying it's a nice outlet right at your fingertips. Thats pretty cool. __________________ 43-922-863 Shut up and play your guitar.

I'll never do any personal profile, but I want to push my mainstream sites with different profiles etc. once I'll be launching them around May. I even want to hire some cute college chick to do the regular mailbox / profiles checking / posting / friend additions for me. __________________ CTG Media \| skype: carlosprague \| cb \|at\| ctgmedia \|dot\| net \| Want to make more with your Dating Traffic? \| Read My Educational Series \| Read my Adult Biz Chronicles \| Did your ad revenue drop by 40 pct. or more last year?

The left wing populism and social society is breeding illusional mental cases to say what they feels... without verifing any claims... If you dont know what you are talking about on a subject, Shut you mouth.. Missleading info and gospels stories should be punished with Jail TIME... It breeds more mediocracy in society..

maxjohan Confirmed User Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Sweden Posts: 7,219	Populists are seen by some politicians as a largely democratic and positive force in society, even while a wing of scholarship in political science contends that populist mass movements are irrational and introduce instability into the political process. Margaret Canovan argues that both these polar views are faulty, and has defined two main branches of modern populism worldwide ? agrarian and political ? and mapped out seven disparate sub-categories: Agrarian Commodity farmer movements with radical economic agendas such as the US People's Party of the late 19th century. Subsistence peasant movements, such as the Eastern European Green Rising militias, which followed World War I. Intellectuals who wistfully romanticize hard-working farmers and peasants and build radical agrarian movements like the Russian narodniki. Political Populist democracy, including calls for more political participation through reforms such as the use of popular referendums. Politicians' populism marked by non-ideological appeals for "the people" to build a unified coalition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism Reactionary populism, such as the white backlash harvested by George Wallace. Populist dictatorship, such as that established by Getulio Vargas in Brazil. __________________ I went from 100 to 313,000 satoshis in 2 days! Lots of daily freerolls...

That you are fixated on "rating" people based on some subjective criteria in your mind. That comes across to me as someone dealing with self-esteem issues and having trouble adjusting to new social dynamics. And maybe that is why people enjoy the internet and social networks. They don't have to be judged on things like body size, income, and whether they can beat up the guy next to them. They can meet with people of similar interests and be judged for themselves. The can avoid people like you who are more concerned about who is "superior" to one another. That's why porn took off online. You didn't have to fit into some social standards. If you liked double anal, you could get into it online. You didn't have to deal with someone deeming you "inferior".

As more idiots spend their time online, the larger the market grows for us webmasters. I still am amazed by the evolution of web 2.0 advertising avenues. Theres seems to be a new and potent way to reach the idiots every month or so.

maxjohan Confirmed User Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Sweden Posts: 7,219	If you ever seen judge Judy, you know what the social society have been bringing to the table. There's 1 in 10 on that show that can explain what they mean in 3 sentences. Others on there have to bring up everything, like every little meaningless detail and social play in their life before the event. The same on Internet boards, you can see it more on mainstream boards, than here. Someone is posting to knock down in on there money making scheme, but they can't tell it right out, they have to de-value their own information/opinion in some kind of way, before they get to post their opinion. I wonder if there's some kind of psychological term for this. It's certainly a breeding from the social society we live in.
