That sounds like a conversation the fictional Dr. House would have with one of his patients.

Point is, if Ex becomes a great doctor who cares how he talks to his patients. As long as he gets the job done no one will judge him for talking down to people.

i was joking

house rules!

House is pretty great, except most of the medical stuff on that show is total BS like all but one medical show. ER is not only way more accurate than the others, but it's been dead on every time I've seen it. Go ER!

House sucks ass, every episode is exactly the same. I love Hugh Laurie and always have since I've seen Blackadder, but man..

House: differential diagnosis?

Black Doctor: Is it Lupis?

House: It's never Lupis

Black Doctor: Well then I'll just write things here on this BLACKboard

House: Well then I'll just get you to use this WHITE marker

Black Doctor: I'm just going to stare angrily at you now because in every single situation I am wrong and you are right. Every.single.one.

House's wimpy friend: Come on House, give the kid a break

House: A break huh? is that what little Jimmy down the hall is going to get? I think not, so back to work people!"

Dr Cuddy: Dr House! How dare you say something incredibly outrageous and un doctor-like

House: Ah Dr Cuddy, that's a nice low cut blouse you have on today, trying to impress the new young male intern?

Dr Cuddy: That's it Dr House I'm sentencing you to work in the walk-in-clinic

Patient: I feel sick

House: Get bent


See, I just wrote a whole House episode and hopefully completely derailed the thread.

Whatever Ex! I happen to think that you are the idiot around here. Always negative, putting people down all the time. You think your funny but your not. Oh, don't forget to check my spelling and grammar!!!!

Amen.

People are fucking dumber than a bowl of captain crunch. Stupidity is rampant and common sense is scarce.

Partially why the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Dumb fuckers are bound to end up poor without a pot to piss in. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that 75 percent of the population has an IQ score of under a hundred.

Stupidty is being bred by people who have no fucking business reproducing. Like feeding meat to a lion when he hasn't eaten in a week, the world is going to eat them and their carcass is just taking up room and stinking the fucking place out.

Oh and another thing.....you arrogant pompous shithead, when did I misspell something? I may have been lazy with my your and you're but thats about it.

Agreed, at least for america. Most americans care more about their favourite icon in the entertainment business than what is going on in politics. Less than 20% of kids my age know who the speaker of the house is... but they can tell you who plays who in House or any other popular show. Most americans also don't understand that our currency is worth less than the canadian dollar and it is still dropping.

The average american makes me sick.

Maybe you should find a new country to live?

Here is a great writing sample from your average American idiot. Notice the misspelling of "whining," crazy1, as well as your grammatical error in the second sentence.

The best part is that she went back to her old post, found no misspellings and only the misuse of "your" which she characterized as trivial. This is a great example of the two main contributors to stupidity -- ignorance and laziness.

She obviously has no idea that "whining" is spelled as I wrote it, so she is clearly ignorant. This is probably the result of having teachers who excuse piss poor spelling so long as the "idea" gets across. Well, I can assure you that any idea communicated by a person who is functionally illiterate is probably not worth being communicated.

Then, she trivializes the improper usage of "your." This is probably the result of having teachers who excuse piss poor grammar so long as the "idea" gets across. Yes, I just repeated myself. The reason is because such lackluster teaching leads to ignorance AND laziness, both of which contribute to our society's ubiquitous stupidity.

The saddest part is that these average American idiots know they're dumber than their potential and get rather angry when it's exposed. I would hope that in an enlightened society, people who don't accept mistakes in basic communication would not be labeled arrogant. Has anyone ever seen the movie Idiocracy? It's a satire of American society by Mike Judge and Co. where a man from the present winds up living in America 500 years later. Everyone in the future talks like your every day retard, and when he uses proper language he is considered to "talk like a fag." The same here is true: I'm labeled arrogant because I can write properly and those who can't are likely very frustrated. Hence the adolescent anger displayed by an old woman.

So, I guess there really isn't much more for me to say. I won't tolerate the ownership of this site changing messages without posting any notice, and when I call people out for it all I get are idiotic and illiterate arguments back. I really have a lot to offer this site, as I know more about Live's work than most fans these days and have a collection of rarities that I get PMed daily about obtaining. Maybe if you guys lay off me whenever I have a legitimate complaint around here, I'd be more enticed to post more productive things.

You're calling us a bunch of lazy idiots, yet, you expect us to read your essay sized rant. You are sending us mixed messages. Also, two sentences do not equal a paragraph. I suggest you revise your first thought.

Two sentences don't equal a paragraph when you're in middle school and all that's expected of you is to write a formulaic essay. In real writing, nobody cares so long as the spelling and grammar are acceptable (read: mistake free). I've written for major American newspapers in my summers off during undergrad, and have a B.A. in English (and psychology and chemistry) from Case Western Reserve, where I graduated summa cum laude in four years. Thanks for the English lesson, but I think you should probably direct it towards your illiterate students.

God, Existentialist, I love you.

I thought I was the only one. This isn't the only message board where the people write in what I can only guess is text message grammar. And now I see that a fucking teacher is telling his students he doesn't care how they write?! I'm stunned.

This is how we've gotten here:

You edit bad language? Ed Kowalczyk says the f-word all the time!



Seriously? You actually went there? "Love it or leave it"? That's the response you considered best? You actually saw his post, and thought about it, and the response you considered best is, "Then leave then"?

Thanks for backing me up Trathena. I agree with your reply to Nick; it's a retarded argument made by a bunch of American idiots. The sad thing is that he's actually a teacher. I just decided I'm home schooling my kids!
