Hoary ATS Cliches

Wrong. Or even better... "Your wrong." Ahh, I get a headache simply looking at the idiocy radiating from that simple, arrogant statement... nothing wrong with being wrong, but people who say "your wrong" generally follow this with any number of the previously mentioned cliches...

Yeah don't forget about all those Anti-Evolution thread where the OP doesn;t have a single clue about the dfference between...

Abiogenesis and Theory OF evolution

Theory and Scientific Theory


Half the thread is wasted trying to explain the difference.

"If humans evolved from monkeys, where are monkeys still here?" /face-palm

"Evolution is false because big bang is impossible, and we didn't come from a rock" /face-palm

"Evolution is just a theory, it says so in its own name!"

The tomato is a lie - - there is no TOMATO!!

When are you people going to realize that we live in an extrapolated matrix? Yep, just like the movie... the Galactic council told my Mother's friend's ex's new girlfriend!!

It is all an illusion, the tomato is a figment of your imagination... it's all a dream!


WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

OMG, "breaking news" is rarely that...

I propose a better reply that wrong or your wrong. How about " what a bunch of Schnitzel" (Bernard)

Mods, please remove if this isn't in the right forum?

Even done it myself!!

The most annoying one i see is where people sign off

~Amberleaf~

Or people saying "peace" or "namanste" at the end of every post.

Not sure if this has been added already but..
"New studies confirm the Mayan Calendar days were actually____the new end of the world is in_____!!"

I guess this is sort of a pet peeve or a pure psychotic hatred but when I see people on this forum sign their post with their username, something inside me wants to leap out of of my chest kind of like the dinner scene in Alien. That may be a bit exaggerated but you get the point.

Seriously, what is the logic in it? First, I can see your username already. Second, It sort of feels like a lazy way to end a post. Sometimes when you end a post the last line can seem to fall flat and fail the conclusion. When this happens you can simply add your screen name and it helps end it.

Now I realized that this was a completely pointless and meaningless post, and that I'm actually doing a service to people who sign their posts with their screen names.

When someone signs off like that, it doesn't make me feel mad, as much as it does inadequate.

Because I still can find the infinity symbol on my keyboard .

But then again, that could be down to cultural differences and politness!?

"How far down the rabbit hole..." type comments kinda annoy me.

I was kinda bummed to learn that the tomato was a fruit, and that the strawberry isn't actually a berry! Why do we have to complicate the simple things in life?

Fun thread but still makes some interesting points, worth a flag.

Now I have to ask, how many of you reading this thread learned that you've done or said something on ATS that annoyed people? I'm guilty of at least one of the afore-mentioned ATS crimes - I corrected someones spelling - I was in a ratty mood at the time and am quite ashamed of it now.

I'm guilty of loads here as i am still a noob when i look at the majority of the posters on this thread.

So i guess this makes me one of those guilty of making ATS go downhill if i read some of the posts here? (No hurt intended)

Bah... I used to habitually sign my posts "~Heff"... and still sign some of my threads that way. But it isn't pretension or arrogance. It is simply letting people know that my member name is an expansion of my real life nickname - "Heff". In the real world I'd answer to "Heff" - but if somebody were to call me "Hefficide" I'd probably walk right past it as, other than in print, it is totally alien to me.

~Heff

Guitly as charged...but you redeemed yourself by being honest about it.

I'm pretty much a noob, been reading ATS threads for years but only made an account just over a year ago. In that short year I've been a plonker a few times but you live and learn.

I'm more surprised at how easily offended and wound up some folk apparently are on here if someone says a tomato is a vegetable, don't get mad - get even!

reply to post by Hefficide


Can we call you Heffer Heff?



Or Heffalump?

The one that bugs me the most are the "certainty" and "imminent" posts - usually about things the person is either ill-informed of, or things which, by their very nature do not lend themselves to any degree of certainty. Recent examples i've come across include such profound and magical statements as:

"the certain, imminent demise of the US Dollar..." (which has been both certain, and imminent for years and years.

"the certain, imminent suspension of the Constitution..." (again, been that way for years)

"i'm 100% certain Obama will declare Martial Law and take all of our guns immediately after the election."

The list goes on...people 100% certain that 'X' is about to happen. If you argue against them, they are offended and you are an idiot for not believing the obvious, imminent certainty. Then, of course, the outlandish, paranoid, ignorant claim they're making never come true.

False flag alert!

Or

"Cure your cancer with gu gu berries"

"nothing to add at this time, replying to come back and reply later"

or something else like the above
