Bill Maher is an idiot! IMHO

[IanForbes]

The problem with correcting anything someone says is you leave yourself open to rebuttal, and you always have to be perfect all the time. That's nearly impossible to do. Typos are my most common mistake because I am slightly dyslecsic and I often get letters in the wrong order.

It's political, isn't it? Those who like Bill Maher tend to hate Rush Limbaugh, and vice versa. I tend to like Bill Maher.

Not a Limbaugh fan either. I like Bill Maher, for his Carrot Top type humor.

I would never correct someone's grammar; oh no, not ever, if there was the slightest opportunity to sarcastically misinterpret it in a wildly obtuse direction, hopefully derailing the thread entirely.

Whilst we're on the subject of comedians, I find Billy Connolly's swearing generally over the top, and not funny in itself, unlike his audiences. I generally don't expose myself to culture these days much, anyway, except if the dishes have been left in the sink too long

If writing in all capital letters is considered shouting, what is the equivalent for writing without capitalisation, in all lower case?

Is that mumbling?

Should we regale them with cries of "Stop mumbling, man! Speak up - I can't make out a word you're saying", just like my dear old mother would say.

I thought the idea of this Forum was to exchange ideas and experiences.

I didn't think it was a dick slapping contest where flop them all out on the table to see whose is the longest.

So why are we even considering the op's question?

No disrespect meant to you Sing_Sling ... it's the question posed I'm questioning ... not you.

Spelling and grammar count for naught ... it's communication that is important.

Who cares who wins the arguement?

If the most stunning Thai girl came and struck up a conversation with you ... would you reject her because her grammar was wrong? Her tense present when it should have been future.

Don't worry about this <deleted> ... if you have kids, go play with them ... if not go practise making them.

No opportunities with either? ... go have a beer and talk with some real people.

Discover that your problems are less then you realise.

Talk about important things ... not this drivel.

Get and live a life.

Yep ... I know there are many who will flame me and I don't give a blether.

As has been famously said ... up to you.

It must have taken you at least 5 minutes to post this, which means you wasted a perfectly good opportunity to “practice making them”.

I prefer Bill Maher too - even though I think his politics are silly. At least he is sometimes funny. Rush just seems like a nasty, old, uptight grump to me.

Stop mentioning Bill Maher!!!! (Who I find to be very, very good - though his constant anti-religion and ever-present pro-dope comments are a bit tiresome)

Speaking of which . . . John Stewart is a daily download for me. Excellent, though I do prefer Bill Maher. Anyway, enough of Bill Maher, let's not mention him again, please.

Umm, no offense taken. Yes, this place is a forum to exchange ideas, have a bit of fun and generally waste discuss what's on one's mind . . . compare it to a pub . . . do you always discuss serious matters when you're with some mates? No banter? Jokes? Laughter?

A bit of everything . . . otherwise no-one would visit.

More like 10 minutes because I spell and grammar checked it.

Oh ... about “practice making them” ... it was half time in the Footie

I appreciate your reply Sing_Sling because you played the ball and not the man.

Sort of the same when a person attacks some-one else's spelling and grammar ... instead of listening to their argument.

And yes, some blether and banter at the bar goes a long way. No-one wants to be berated all the time.

Edit:- Ha Ha Ha ... my piss poor spelling

Don't take it personal though, that assumes that the people you're interacting with here have personalities and going with the average farang in Thailand that's a long stretch.

If you want proof of that I refer you to the previous 1033 pages of content where people berate their fellow farangs actions in real life. You'll probably find half of the members will be nodding sagely at this point, while the other half ( the one's that don't own a mirror ) will be getting the flame guns out.

ps blethering is good for you, it's also contagious, everyone has been at it today

Hence the thread! I'm a corporate trainer by profession and use visuals to great effect . . . much better than words, so what may seem evident . . . isn't

[David48]

Has anyone heard from Sing_Sling recently?

He stated this thread, made some useful contributions then quiet.

Some threads are timely, and some finish before their time.

Also looking for Bookman ... I kind of miss that ole'soi dogs face around these parts.

And, in a vote for sympathy (see smokie36 above) ...

It's funny how we agree on absolutely anything outside of Thailand's borders.
