Stop posting links for the love of GOD!

Is it unreasonable to want to see straight opinions and not links to some youtube video or news story? I am pretty sure if we found our way to Gunbroker, we don't need your digression from reading all the true rants and raves.

Post a link and nothing else? Wasteful! No more curiosity got the cat for me. Merely presenting something shows not where you stand on anything. For all I know, you could like, love, or hate the link or story you put up. Why waste people's time when there is so much other debate-worthy (albeit sad sometimes, and ok, trivial, and merely cosmically bad and loathing capable if you will, but I digress myself!).

Stop the oatmeal and RANT already! Or RAVE if you want. Hell, be ac/dc and do both.

Just STOP (Hammertime!) with the f$cking www.youtube.com \\ myspace // newblog https: threadbleensRUS.

Opinions are like jerks, everybody's got one and they're like armpits, too... they all smell.

But at least it shows you have enough gumption to pick a side of the fence and not go the lazy * annoying route to get attention. If I wanted a newscast I'd go find one. We're inundated by them everyday in some capacity, so we don't need your helpful ambiguous nonsense.

Preesh!

    AMEN; I second the motion if I were 12 I probably would be thrilled with youtube, I would very much like to have a conversation, even in print.
    Your opinions are what I enjoy, wheather I agree with them or not.
    A little banter, give and take. screw youtube

    Rick - With this post you are just as much pissing into the wind as the people that * about sig lines.

    I agree with you, but as you may have figured out, there is very little self discipline among the vast majority of the membership.

    This of course, excludes those of us who posted here.

    People with high speed internet forget that links are useless to dial up users. If they would be kind enough to put a (V) or (L) in the title we could avoid wasting time opening it.

    Gosh just sitting in my office cleaning my guns watching Dallas getting cleaned by the Redskins, going thru all the post on this board including the links .you know just relaxing on a Sunday. Only to find out that I along with some others have pee O'd someone. First my apologies and second If this is irritating you and frustrating you maybe you should take a break. That is my opinion and advice at this time. As a matter of fact I'm fairly sure I have been on here way to long myself. Take it easy and have a good night.

    Yeah, I know, Bob. I've seen it come up in the past. If they were only to turn on the "ignore" feature with this BBS. Certain members' posts consist of nothing but links to garbage. In my haste I click on their threads because, "maybe they have something to say", much to my disdain.

    MrOrange...I'm sure if ZipZap, Mateo, etc were online, there would be 100 replies of nothing but links and I would expect nothing less. I like the banter and the ballbusting and a good argument.

    Doug...while I am not a country/western person, I had quite a good time years ago in the honky tonks of New Mexico asking the women to "teach me the two-step". Have fun [;)]

    Who was the guy that used to do all the c/p's here? Can't recall his name, but people would get on his case too about all of them. I figure if you don't like it, don't read it or click on the link. What's the big deal??

    Hey, that's YOUR opinion....

    You really should make a videoclip of yourself, stating all that - and post it here....

    Obviously, you realize by now you are whizzing into the wind.[:0]

    It's really pretty simple, articulating an idea, opinion, or a concept requires thinking, a vocabulary, and the ability to construct words from within that vocabulary into intelligent sentences that convey meaning. Those folks that are capable of espousing ideas do so by typing out words in a post; those that do not possess the ability post links to a teenager somewhere on the internet that can![:D][:D]

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    You weren't included in the "chronic" category, you were mentioned in the light-hearted, ball busting member category. I actually enjoy alot of your posts, especially the historical recounts and your family's involvement. Keep up the good work![:D]
