Yeah she got mad at me because I said if that's your attitude I'm starting to understand why you have a hard time making friends. LOL. I think a few people made those comments. And we were disparaged as idiots. Because only idiots can talk about other things than particle physics and string theory.

Didn't she complain that she couldn't make any friends in her husband's physics department either?
If there isn't a single person you can relate to it isn't that the rest of the world is a bunch of idiots. The only common denominator is you.

I like the threads that just take a turn towards mutually agreed upon ridiculousness. Like when Loony jumped all over WWBG for wasting the dots.

I remember once when we were trying to describe our vision of Chessplayer's looks. And everyone was saying that he was tall and handsome and sophisticated. I described him as short, with one eye and a hunchback. He said I was closest. LOL - I loved him.

After years of hearing women complain how they suffered financial hardhsips due to bad husbands and baby daddies, I was a little bit suprised at the outcry at Paul's 'Ladies, choose your mates carefully' thread.

I believe it was the "just any warm place to stick it" comment that really disgusted me.

That's cm, not Terri. Terri was an abused mom of two of was a social worker, of all things, who didn't think she was abused. He only hit her a few times. And didn't work. And told her what to do and who to talk to. And her kids didn't have any problems because of the abuse. Her daugher barely talked at all and her son wouldn't poop. And they owned two houses next door to each other. Both of which her dh had been "renovating" for years. ("Renovating", a word which here means tore out the walls, floors, etc. and then made no further progress). They lived in sub-standard conditions. Terri and Doxie are not even remotely similar. I have never understood this accusation. I do wonder about Terri and hope that she is OK.

I know someone posted a link to that thread - it was one of the threads saved from the old boards.

Ditto. I'd sure like to hope the reason my husband married me isn't because he couldn't find anywhere else suitable to "stick it".

I'd like to think that my husband considers me more than a warm place to stick it. I found that to be more true in Christian circles, because they were so uptight with the whole abstinence thing. So, they would marry any gal that claimed to be a Christian just so they could get some action. Guys who were okay with premarital sex didn't need to marry someone just to have sex. They were a lot more honest about what they wanted from you.

It just seems like retreads into the relm of "radical unschooling" and "SAHM vs. working mom" debates just aren't the same anymore.
Maybe it's just me, but the boards seem to have mellowed out.

It's not just you, Phoenix. Most of the "more colorful" posters have either left or been banned, which leads to less outrageous commentary.

It lasted 11 months and I was shocked it lasted that long.

I met someone who couldn't wait - so they eloped, had sex in their car, lived in separate dorms, didn't tell anyone. They didn't tell their parents because they were afraid they would be mad. But, god wasn't mad at them.

I remember a thread right around the time the TARP bailout was being passed. There was an article on MSN that linked to the thread, so it got tons and tons of responses, and not one single person that responded to that thread was capable of doing basic math. It was un-friggin-real. Post after post after post of total morons talking about how for the same amount of money we could do X. Really idiotic stuff like, "The banks want 300 BILLION, but there are 300 million people in the country, so we could give every one of them one MILLION dollars for the same price. Then they could all pay off their houses and the economy would be fine, but instead our stupid politicians are going to give it all to Wall St so they can pay each other ginormous bonuses."
I spent days breaking down the numbers over and over and over, but the never ending stream of people claiming we could do X with the money instead just wouldn't stop. I think that was the week I accepted the fact that I'm just better than most of the US population. It still sounds conceited and kind of whack to say, but it's true. It's not ego, it's not hubris, it's just fact. Most of the rest of you, general you not necessarily you in particular, are just fucking dumb.
Oh, and the penny thread still makes me smile.

The rabid posters didn't come over to proboards.
Another piece of marital advice I found offensive, from another poster was to marry a nerd because they'll be loyal for life since they're so grateful you married them.
Wow. Nice to know my entire marriage boils down to DH betting no one else would ever want me since I'm a nerd and it'd work out because I'd be so grateful for any scrap of male attention tossed my way.

DOOW. He was fun. I especially liked when he would start accusing people of obviously being on Toyota's payroll. It's amazing they can turn a profit with how many folks they pay to scour the internet for message boards where the company is being badmouthed and stick up for them.
