    What's with all these posturing threads of late? I know Internet nerds like nothing more than to rage against the mainstream (yet despise hipsters)- comedians that aren't funny/controversial opinions/Im not PC and I don't care threads...

    It's like 'woah look at me I'm challenging the system' but you're not- and these threads are always so damn negative.

    People with controversial opinions should be hung, drawn and quartered. And then shot.

    Terrible isn't it, people should just shut up and do as they're told despite the injustice in the system. I'm getting onto Joe about it tomorrow.

    Seriously. It doesn't matter how badly you're losing an argument, if you come out with that reply you win hands down every time! :D

    It wouldn't be so bad if there were some thought put into them. But too often they're just people's pet peeves or vague feelings about how the world is dressed up as some kind of original and insightful polemic against the system written by people who think the "I'm mad as hell..." speech from Network and "things used to be better in the past" reposts on Facebook are the height of social commentary.
    And then there's the inexplicable "it's cool to be really right-wing" people and angry young men who don't really know why they're angry so blame outside forces.

    Basically, After Hours is going to Hell in a handcart, and I blame such posters.

    And immigrants.

    People should realise they have fcuk all to be whining about and quit the fake posturing while they're at at!

    I blame winter - Season Affected Disorder


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    Don't worry, it's all because of the holidays. People with way too much free time to think about stuff, not getting enough daylight, being around their family all day and having to be nice to them so resorting to venting on here so they don't kill a relative, the usual winter stuff. They're almost over, and then AH will return to the being the care-bear castle of love and compassion that it normally is. Who wants a hug?

    I think you are moaning about people who start threads like this thread very ironic I like it.

    If you are actually moaning about whatever it is you seem to be on about then yur brain processes too much unimportant information and you must get very.....depressed at times.

    Great to have an uplifting thread for a change. The moaning about every little thing just drags me down.

    Maybe you have nothing to be whining about but you're probably not living off 17c tins of baked beans like some people in this country are.

    Isn't this how it's always been though? I get the impression we're running out of ideas though and there's serious amount of barrel-scraping going on.
