    Glenroe was shìte, Dallas was shìte, The Commitments was shìte. Norn Narn accents are the most annoying of Any accent. Michael D Higgins is a leprecaun. Most Chinese take aways are just stodgey Gloop outlets. U2 are not the best band in the world, not even in the top 50. All Elvis songs sound the same. Dogs are stupid animals, and people who talk to them are stupid too.

    I was hoping your post was going to continue as it began, i.e. discarding popular T.V. shows with vulgar little three word sentences. I thought you had a nice thing going there at start.

    Relative to what?

    And as for people being stupid to talk to them, does that include calling them and giving them commands?
    If so, a lot of sheep farmers are going to be very annoyed at themselves for acting so stupidly.

    You've just never met one you like.

    I like the British their history and culture and I am glad we speak English because of our historical ties with them.

    Isn't it funny. I've never met anyone who was in the habit of calling people "stupid" who I would describe as particularly smart.

    Not particularly directed at you, that is a general observation.

    I think most of what we know about dinosaurs is just guesswork. I really don't see how they can extrapolate the colour, musculature, dining habits etc. from what scant evidence is left over. And those tiny T-Rex arms? Come on, those were the arms of a baby T-Rex or something the T-Rex ate.

    aren't you the best boy. Should we all strive to your own level of greatness, copying and pasting from websites on the subject of intelligence to sound more important and self satisfied than the average poster


    I wasnt trying to sound more intelligent then I am, its simply my views, if they made you feel inadequate, I do apologise.

    I am human myself and only consider myself more self aware, as opposed to more intelligent, then the average Joe who simply puts his head in the sand and ignores the true reality that exists.

    Incidentally, if you can find the website where I "copied and pasted" my beliefs from, please do share. Otherwise quit being a hypocrite by trying to be "more important and self satisfied" with a poorly educated guess on what my post was about . . Everybodys views are a mixture of what they have learned, heard and how they interpret it, I shouldnt have to educate anybody on this obvious fact of life.

    From the thumbs up thanks you got, my post obviously unearthed a little bit of sensitivity from people who are simply intimidated by alternative views of the world. You dont need to be intelligent to understand that my post was a fairly obvious portrayal of how we, as humans, waste our "intelligence".

    Incidentally, it proved that my opinions are unpopular, so thanks to all the thumbs down brigade . . . :D

    Nah, it was a funny reply to a condescending post, that's all.

    I just thought it was ill thought out sophmoric crap like something posted by a 12 year old.

    So you spent the time replying to my post, insinuating that my views are that of a 12 year old, that they are ill thought out and are "crap"?

    You spend time arguing with children who have views you disagree with ?

    For one so young, I didnt realise my post would be taken seriously or indeed that it would intimidate so many . . Sorry for writing an unpopular opinion in a post about unpopular opinions . .

    I change my mind, the human race is destined for greatness . . Huzzah . .

    I just thought that there was no better forum/thread to air what I actually believe in because I know that it is most certainly an unpopular, but genuine opinion . . ;)

    There is nothing wrong in principle with being expected to pay inheritence tax especially if one is over say 24.

    Inheritance tax is fantastic. Socking it to money-grubbers the land over. :) I don't intend leaving an inheritance. They cause nothing but trouble.

    Anyone protesting the construction of mobile telephone masts while themselves owning a mobile phone should be legally barred from voting, teaching, posting on the internet, having their words published/broadcast or otherwise disseminating their idiocy.

    In fact it should be a criminal offence to knowingly supply anyone that stupid with food.
