Can Ex's Really Be Friends?

[Karbon]

Well ... what do you think?


IMO - I use to think it was impossible, as being friends with my ex would only make it hurt a lot more. But that was when I wasn't over him. Now that I'm pretty sure I am ... I WANT to know how he is, how he's getting on with life and I want to be there for him. I'd call that a friendship.

Not saying nothing would ever happen again though ... perhaps THAT'S the reason people don't think ex's can be friends.

Sorry if this has already been done I'm too lazy to check.

[soggytoast]

don't be silly, you don't have friends.

[Karbon]

Someone's cruzin.

[soggytoast]

for young girls outside schools.

[n0iZe]

In some cases, yes.

In most, no.

[Gem.]

In most cases with me and my exes then yeah.
I cant just cut people outta my life like that once Ive gotten to know them so well and intimately.
Yeah ok theres rough patches and sometimes grudges held but all in all I make a huge effort to keep my exes in my life.
Then again, if they reject my efforts then they can go and fuck a duck.

But doesn't it hurt?
Seeing them with other people, hearing about them being with other people?
Yes ... you broke up for a reason. But does that mean that 'those feelings' are now completely gone?

[Sciocco]

No

[AntonioB]

I'm friends with all my exes. I mean we're not best friends but we still talk on the regular basis, just to see how the other is doing, etc. Yes it may be a little painful at first because you're not completely over them but it fades away.

[Gem.]

But doesn't it hurt?

No, it doesn't hurt.
Yeah, ok the feeling havent always completely gone. But theyve fade and sooner or later return to the "just friends" status that they once were.
I don't let myself get jealous when I see them with other girls or whatever because I just think well Ive been there and had my chance and now that chance has gone. Time to just be happy for them.
Theres no point in dwelling on what you once had. May aswell just look to the future and look forward to what is yet to come.

[n0iZe]

I always get that feeling that I could always treat them better (in my mind) than some other guy could, and then I feel like a dick for letting them go so easily.

xD

*Sigh* I think I might be a little conceited in relationships.

[Gem.]

I dont mind letting them go easy.
If they dont fight for the relationship, then is it even worth fighting for to save anyways?
I think not.
Therefore, thier loss.

[lozflup]

Erm I don't think they can be really good friends but yeah sure they can be civil.
I like to believe I'm friends with my ex, we don't really talk to each other but occasionally.
I think if you tried to be really good mates well then you'll never really get over them.

[Charlotte(:]

^ Agreed. Basically what i was gonna say.
:)

[TAYLOOOOR]

I think you can do indeeed :D:D:D

[Nicolai]

I'm friends with three of my ex's. (Only four to begin with...)
I dont talk as often as I could with one, another I can have a chat with like we've been friends for years without a hitch. The third I see way too often b8ut despite I get on with her great.

Varies really.

[Samantha_x]

i'am with one :)

[Burias]

It depends greatly upon both people in question.

It takes a certain amount of maturity to be friends with someone with whom you were once romantically entangled.

It also depends greatly upon the circumstances surrounding the end of the relationship. For instance: if one person cheated on another, and they broke up because of it, I find it very hard to believe they can ever go beyond just being civil. However, if the relationship ended in a civil manner, agreed upon by both parties, then I see no reason they couldn't be friends.

[Karin]

I think it depends on how the relationship ended.
My Ex and I broke up because he cheated on me. I will never forgive this, so we can not be friends, and I'm pretty sure he's not interested in beeing friends with me either.

[seansaurusrex]

My closest friend is an ex of mine.
So yes.

[LoserInJeans]

Yea, I'm friends with a couple of my ex's, not really that awkward.

[The Doctor]

Yes, one of them is one of my best friends :)

[Gem.]

Never be a fuck buddy with an ex though.
It doesn't work.

[aglarana]

it can work out but it depends on how the brakeup went i mean if you broke up because it was not working anymore sure but if it is over because one of them cheated then no never mind , and yes in the begining it can hurt seeing them and all but in time it gets better, and like Gem said u can't jsut trow people out of your life after sharing your life with them, its hard and no real human can do that unless the person is a asshole then yes sure you can

[AHeartFeltLoss]

im friends with only one of my ex's, but that is cause he is a freakin legend, and was my best friend beforehand :)

[neoncupcake]

I'm not friends with any of my exes, and all the people I've been around have tried and failed miserably.. They tried being friends and either 1)got back with them, realized there was a reason they were and ex and dump them or 2) cling on to their friendship and never get over the romance they had with that person.

There's only one of my exes who I'd want to be friends with, but I'm with a guy and he still has feelings for me so it's awkward. I still talk to him once in a while, but usually for a reason. Not just because.

[vermicide]

I wouldn't want to. When I break up with someone, it's a chapter in my life that's come to an end. I really don't have any reason to hold on to them and be friends.

Then again, I'm in much fewer relationships than most people I know I think. I don't "casually date" people, it's not for me.

[Buttons93]

If you can both agree to it, and not cling on to every little bit of hope you think you get, then yeah why not..

[Jinx13]

If you can both agree to it, and not cling on to every little bit of hope you think you get, then yeah why not..


It's a bit different when you give false hopes all the time

[vermicide]

It's a bit different when you give false hopes all the time

I guess it would be, but why would you intentionally give someone false hope?

[Jinx13]

I never did give the false hopes so I don't know why :(

[nyx]

Not in the long run, naw.

[vermicide]

I never did give the false hopes so I don't know why :(

Dude, just stop. This isn't the proper outlet since you wouldn't even be talking about this so much if your ex didn't post here.

[Jinxieminx]

>.> Why do I get the feeling these two are like... 15 or smthn?

[vermicide]

I think her profile says she's 16. I think that's why it bothers me, I had an ex EXACTLY like this when I was 16. Like, if a guy pulled this shit with me now, I'd probably tell him to stop being a creep and fuck off. But when I was that age it made me crazy, I actually felt bad and like things were my fault when they actually weren't.

It's a dude. lol.

[Jinxieminx]

Just ignore each other and move on is what I say...

Buttons if you can't ignore his posts put him on your ignore list.
-Same goes for Jinx, you can't ignore her, put her on your ignore list.

http://weloverabbits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/thumper21.jpg
If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all.

[vermicide]

It's a dude. lol.

Oh, I meant Buttons. But it did take me awhile to figure out this was a dude, haha.

[neoncupcake]

Oh, I meant Buttons. But it did take me awhile to figure out this was a dude, haha.
I didn't even notice they were bickering with each other. x.x wth, I'm slow.

[Malarkey]

It's easy to be civil to an ex. It's not easy to be close friends with one - that's for sure.

[Beans]

Perhaps not staying in touch with the people i cared about most in my life hurts me the most. Regardless how it ended.
I will always be there for them if they need me. It's just if they want me or not.

[Buttons93]

>.> Why do I get the feeling these two are like... 15 or smthn?

I'm 16, he's a lot older.

Meh, tried it. Won't work.
We're sorting it out away from here now though, so can we please all stop talking about it? kthxbi

[Baldr]

You're all fucking retarded. You make Baldr want to grow an eight foot long scrotal hair just to pluck it out with his bare hands!

You cannot -- under any fucking circumstances -- remain friends with an ex. Attempting to do so will cause the universe to implode and send us in a constant wave of crunches comparable to the Oscillatory Theory cycling three googolplexians per microsecond. Think about the fucking children, you dipshits!

[Karbon]

Gotta' agree with Baldr there. Although under lesser extremes.

[Beans]

I know it's like he put a whole "Divide by zero" thing on it.

[popeye]

I guess the answer is "it depends". Some relationships are not that deep. It doesn't have to end with a colossal heartbreak.

But I can see why people here think it's a divide-by-zero thing.

[Odin]

No. Men and women can't be friends, so building on that basic truth, exes can not be friends by nature of gender.

There are three kinds of women in the world if you're a man.

1. Women you would never fuck (your family and obese girls).
2. Women you have fucked.
3. Women you haven't fucked yet.

Any guy that is your friend is just doing so in the hopes he will get to sniff your panties. So no, your ex can not be your friend. Once you see each other naked, that's the only way to remember some one.

[Poseidon]

Mutual splits are the only likely situation in which friendship afterward is probable. It is difficult to be friends with someone once you are aware that you are either not good enough for them or vice-versa. That's not to say that it isn't possible, but the drama that usually follows makes it an unfavorable option.

You're wrong, read above, I'm right.

[Poseidon]

You're wrong, read above, I'm right.
Poseidon's answer was also addressing cases in which said exes have not fornicated, seen each other naked, etc. Perhaps in Odin's world this is never the case, but it will assuredly apply to the lives of others.

Yes, the entire basis and truth of my character was not found in my thousands of posts all linking to the same wealth of life knowledge, but the words of a scorned exgirlfriend corroborated by her sister when I wasn't around to defend myself.

The depth of your logical faculties is astounding.

Besides, me and the ex are cool now.

i may be drubnk still, but i can still find stuff that's contradicting

explain oh wise one

[Odin]

Men are never friends with women. The caveats are irrelevant. I only through them in for homosexual couples.

If you're not actively trying to have sex with a girl, why bother talking to her?

[idk]

Some people are interested in more than vaginas.

I definitely think exes can be friends. I talk to one of mine occasionally and we get along fine. Another I talk to more frequently and it's also stable. Some other ones I either fought with or don't want to talk to because I realize how much I overlooked when I was desperate enough to like them.

[VraiCanon]

Meh. It depends on the relationship, the reasons you broke up etc. I think that you can be friends with an ex but only if you're over them.

I didn't speak to my ex for about 6 months, I was gutted when I found out he had a new girlfriend! But we're fine now. I still have a little love for him and we broke up 2 years ago. Christ, that was a long time ago...

[NayPars]

^ Agreed.

Me and my ex broke up on 'akward terms' to say the least. We've tried being friends but it doesn't help that i have them on facebook and stupidly check there ever changing relationship status every 2 minutes... gosh, i'm clearly not over them. DAMN!

[Joe 90]

yeah, as long as they're not an absolute bitch. or now hated by me. but that all covers only one person. so yes.

[Darts]

I find it difficult, my ex isn't over it and yet insists we hang out. But it always happens the same way, we hang out, I set conditions, when he thinks he can get away with it he starts being a bit clingy and then I just fall out with him and don't hang out with him. But that's fine by me, if he isn't gonna stick to my rules f**k it :]

[Odin]

He only wants to hang out with you so he can bang you.

[Jinxieminx]

He only wants to hang out with you so he can bang you.
He gat secks awn teh brayne.

[Odin]

He gat secks awn teh brayne.
I'm usually good at speaking to interneting...

...but what?

[Darts]

He only wants to hang out with you so he can bang you.

I thought that, but it's hard to believe since I'm never gonna change my mind and I've made that very clear. And when he even gets the slightest bit towards the flirty side I tell him I'm not gonna hang out with him anymore. Then about 4-6 months go by and the cycle begins again.

[Prophet]

I'd rather be enemies, even worst enemies with an ex than friends

that way, any lingering doubts or temptations that I may have would be completely erased, and my conscience would be clear, raindrops would be falling on my head and stuff and I probably wouldn't care yo

[Jinxieminx]

I'm usually good at speaking to interneting...

...but what?



He's got sex on the brain. Gosh have you seriously forgotten how to interweb in your absence? It makes me weep sad tears of sad.

[Odin]

I thought that, but it's hard to believe since I'm never gonna change my mind and I've made that very clear. And when he even gets the slightest bit towards the flirty side I tell him I'm not gonna hang out with him anymore. Then about 4-6 months go by and the cycle begins again.

Why do you think the cycle begins again? Doesn't matter what you want, in his mind, he wants sex and everytime he hangs out with you, in his mind, he's "biding his time" until you change your mind.

He's not being a friend to you. Get that through your head.



And Jinx, I spend more time in the real world than the internet...and I have to speak proper English at my job (with professional jargon, of course), my internetting skills have slipped. Especially since I'm away from a computer about half the week.

[Darts]

To be fair, it suits me just fine. I don't have to deal with him when he crosses the line so I'm happy to just leave it as it is. As long as I'm calling the shots :]

[Odin]

Until you both have one too many shots...

[Darts]

Nope. I don't get drunk with him, that's just a rule I've set myself. Even if I did, being drunk just brings out inclinations you already have and lowers your inhibitions so you act upon them, and I have no inclination whatsoever of sleeping with him or doing anything of a sexual nature :/

[Odin]

Until you black out, or get roofied!

[Jinxieminx]

Lol why is everything about sex with you Odin?

If she's said no, she's said no. Unless this guy's into rape, nothing'll happen.

[Duvets]

I think you can be friends with ex's. Just, I'm not friends with any of mine.

[neoncupcake]

Lol why is everything about sex with you Odin?

If she's said no, she's said no. Unless this guy's into rape, nothing'll happen.

It's always about sex when it comes to a guy who's still interested in you... It's not like he wants to stick his shlong in her humor or intelligence.

[Jinxieminx]

Yes, but my point being she's already said several times, that she wouldn't let him. Odin is just repeating himself at this point.

[neoncupcake]

Yes, but my point being she's already said several times, that she wouldn't let him. Odin is just repeating himself at this point.

So is the kid darts is hanging, why would she think it's magically gonna stop?

[idk]

You guys need to disregard Odin's penis when it tries to be intelligent. I try to myself, but it's just too fun.

Just because Odin is incapable of being friends with a woman doesn't mean every other man and woman on the planet are incapable of being friends with the opposite sex. It's pretty obvious.

[Jinxieminx]

From what she's said, she doesn't care if it stops or not. So long as she is in control.

[Odin]

I'll stop talking about sex when this situation stops being about sex. Which it's not going to...because it's about sex.

And it's not just me. It's all men. I just happen to be honest about it. There is not a swinging dick among you that wouldn't fuck your female friends (unless they're fat and hideous) if she said she wanted to. You'd throw away years of friendship for minutes of instant gratification.

Yes, even you.

[idk]

Nope. Just because you're a penis-driven dog doesn't mean all men are. I'm waiting for a girl I actually like emotionally, and even with that I'm going to wait a long time until we are both certain we are comfortable with it. Seriously, I'm not shallow and stupid enough to have sex with any pretty girl that opens her legs.

You make stupid generalizations, that may have elements of truth to them, but are still generalizations nonetheless. You reject any possibility that what doesn't fall into your chosen view of the world simply isn't real. Get over yourself.

Every single thing you say adds up to you not believing people on teen forums can actually be in love because you're too downstairs to even understand it.

Basically, what I've said a bunch of times already is you are not all men, and you need to pull your head out of your dick and stop thinking you are.

[Odin]

You're adorable in your naivety, you know that?

I'm glad you are, though, because people like you are the reason I'm here. I'm here to cockslap the ever loving shit out of you until you wake up from your pussy (yours, not any female) induced trance. So listen up cupcake, I'm about to take you to school.

Listen, Sally, there are several fundamental flaws in what you said and I'm about to put it all simply. You're young, you think you know everything, and you watched a lot of Disney growing up and still believe love at first sight actually exists. I assume you're sitting down because you're at a computer, so when the realization I'm about to lay down actually hits you, you won't have to worry about bumping your head. Love at first sight doesn't exist and no, you CAN'T be in love until at LEAST you hit 30.

Infatuation mixed with a heavy dose of hormones and lust may FEEL like love, but love is a very complicated and ethereal matter that the teenage mind can not actually comprehend. I can't comprehend it and I'm older, wiser and smarter than all of you. So, plainly put, you've got no shot. There is so much to learn about the world before you're 30 that you don't even really know anything about yourself or what you're capable of. I'm sure of myself right now, but in 5 years I may have a dramatic job shift that forces me to look at the world differently. Right now, I just moved from my comfort zone with all my friends, family, loved ones and girls I banged regularly to a state that is far from home and far from what I'm used to. Had to move for work, but it sucks. I had to, essentially, start my life all over again in a new place and pace of life. Maybe I won't be able to take it and I'll have to quit my job and move back home. Maybe I'll find out I'm made of tougher stuff and see it through on the life plan I have set for myself. There's a lot of maybes in there, and I'm only 22, going on 23 in a few months. I know a lot about myself as I am, but I'm learning new things about me every day..all of them good things, mind you.

But at a young age, people are never truly out of their comfort zone. You have no idea what you're actually made of. And if you don't know yourself deeply (which you don't), you don't know how to truly love and appreciate all that someone else is and can be.

And if you're waiting for a girl to come around to "make love" for the first time with, more power to you...but you're an idiot. Because you're going to just wind up postponing it til you meet a girl you KNOW is "the one" and then she's going to fuck half a frat house when you're off writing a love sonnet. Then you're going to become extremely bitter and jaded and wonder why you waited so long to partake in something that can be meaningless just as much as it can be meaningful.

No, Virginia, I don't make stupid generalizations. I make smart choices. And I'm just honest about it. The fact the you replied to vitriolically means I struck a nerve and hit an inner truth you aren't quite yet ready to deal with. I'm actually amazed you were able to put down the Jergens and take your other hand off your dick long enough to type your response back to me, since you must spend all your spare time angrily masturbating and just hate-fucking the shit out of your hand.

Have a nice day, sunshine.

[idk]

You are one of the biggest idiots I have ever encountered on the internet. You striking a nerve with me? Who's the one calling someone girl's names on the internet because I criticized what you say?

You figure that since you're in your twenties and you're on a teen forum that you're some kind of guru. Listen, man. I don't think I know everything, but it's obvious to even people like me that you don't know what you're talking about.

Second off, you pretend to know so much about someone. Your game is silly, and it looks a lot like you're compensating for something you don't normally get. It's pretty pathetic, actually, that you come onto a teen forum just to spout that you don't know things that teens don't know and to call everyone an idiot. Above all, you say many immature things that make you appear to be just a little boy trying to look cool somewhere.

Just so you know, people who actually know stuff and hold the respectable statuses in life that you pretend to hold don't go jumping onto forums of people of a younger age group and talking all kinds of shit about how awesome they think they are.

[idk]

You're adorable in your naivety, you know that?

I'm glad you are, though, because people like you are the reason I'm here. I'm here to cockslap the ever loving shit out of you until you wake up from your pussy (yours, not any female) induced trance. So listen up cupcake, I'm about to take you to school.

I never claimed love at first sight did. I said it is possible for teenagers and it is possible for people under 30.




Infatuation mixed with a heavy dose of hormones and lust may FEEL like love,

I agree.



but love is a very complicated and ethereal matter that the teenage mind can not actually comprehend. Care to back this up?






I can't comprehend it and I'm older, wiser and smarter than all of you.

I don't know. I can't exactly trust the credibility of someone who is in his twenties and advising teens to "fuck anything that moves" or something along the lines of that.




So, plainly put, you've got no shot.

I'll italicize this as a statement you actually can't back up without another statement that will be in limbo for backing up.




But at a young age, people are never truly out of their comfort zone. You have no idea what you're actually made of. And if you don't know yourself deeply(which you don't), you don't know how to truly love and appreciate all that someone else is and can be.

I disagree with the first sentence, as it is a generalization and there are people who disprove it.



And if you're waiting for a girl to come around to "make love" for the first time with, more power to you...but you're an idiot. Because you're going to just wind up postponing it til you meet a girl you KNOW is "the one" and then she's going to fuck half a frat house when you're off writing a love sonnet. Then you're going to become extremely bitter and jaded and wonder why you waited so long to partake in something that can be meaningless just as much as it can be meaningful.

Wow, that is just too stupid to even be worth explaining.




No, Virginia,




I don't make stupid generalizations.I bolded and underlined several. Take your pick.



The fact the you replied to vitriolically means I struck a nerve and hit an inner truth you aren't quite yet ready to deal with. I'm actually amazed you were able to put down the Jergens and take your other hand off your dick long enough to type your response back to me, since you must spend all your spare time angrily masturbating and just hate-fucking the shit out of your hand.
And you can back this up how...?



Have a nice day, sunshine.



If you reply with another cloud of stupidity like this one, then I'm going to actually laugh and facepalm simultaneously for the first time. Your maturity is even more in question now due to the fact that you said all of those things, rather than back up the stuff I was actually arguing against.

[Odin]

I call you girls names because you are not worthy of the male one your parents so foolishly bestowed upon you, kitten.

Maybe one day you'll work your way up to pet nicknames, like "Sport" or "Slugger" but not today, Melinda. It has nothing to do with you criticizing me. I welcome the discord. You will not win, but it's giving me something to do on a lazy Sunday in which I don't want to get out of my computer chair.

So how is it obvious I don't know what I'm talking about? "We hold these truths to be self-evident" well if it's evident I don't know what I'm talking about, then would you kindly enumerate the points I got wrong in a neat, numbered list for all to see? You know, instead of just tossing that out there and hoping I'll take the claim at face value. I am a guru. You're not ready to hear my wisdom, but it's OK...Buddha and Jesus took a while to catch on as well.

I do know a lot about people. It's because I've lived a full life and am continuing to live my life to the fullest. I have put myself out there, gone out more nights than I've stayed in, and I even bartended for a half a year. If you don't think you learn about people bartended, you're an idiot. I'm great at people watching and reading body language, which includes analyzing facial features. The internet, also, is very interesting, because people tend to be at their most raw and real because you're finally able to express your opinion without fear of physical repercussion. So yes, I can tell a lot about you just from the way you type.

For example, if you're not really young, you're incredibly naive. You're also a dragon of morality which is why you react vehemently against what I type because it goes against what you hold as true in you core. This is a stretch, and I'm making a gamble on it, but I'll guess you're a very fundamentalist Christian. (that is a 50/50 gamble but I'm going with my gut).

Then you attempt to discredit me and everything I do, saying that clearly, I can't be what I say I am because if I was this cool, why would I be on an teen forum trying to flex muscles? Well, Sandy, it's because I AM that cool and unlike most jack ass who are cool, I want you to be cool, too. I'm the good kind of big brother. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna give you your lumps when you get out of line, but tough love is the best kind of love.

Your claim that I'm compensating for something...now who's talking about making baseless accusations. You can base this on nothing and besides, I know I'm a card carrying bad ass, so it doesn't phase me one bit. Confidence is key, Katie. If you develop some, maybe you'll find "the one," or at least the girl you finally decide you wanna bang because you're tired of waiting.

Now, your maturity and insecurity both shine through when you say it's pathetic I come here just to call you idiots and talk myself up. I'm awesome, plain and simple, and I'm straight-forward, so when I call you an idiot, I'm doing it because you are and not to jack myself off (I don't need an excuse to do that). If you ever enter industry and you refuse to listen to the dudes who have been doing your job for a number of years, it makes YOU and idiot, not them because they've already made the mistakes you're about to make and they're trying to save your ass.

And maybe other people with respectable jobs don't try to help out the youngins on internet forums, but aren't you fuckers glad I'm so awesome I decide to take time out of my schedule to do just that?

EDIT- I will be getting to you second post momentarily, Nancy.

I never claimed love at first sight did. I said it is possible for teenagers and it is possible for people under 30.
I was using love at first sight as a hyperbole, to help further my Disney insult. Poetic license. OK, you got me on that one, Georgina.

So allow me to clarify to you wannabe lawyers out there: No, love is not possible for teenagers or people under 30, for my aforementioned reasons.



Care to back this up?
Read for comprehension, Alice. I already did with my whole "life experience" thing.


I don't know. I can't exactly trust the credibility of someone who is in his twenties and advising teens to "fuck anything that moves" or something along the lines of that.
That's what high school and college is for. Learning what you like sexually and experimenting. But be smart about it. Make sure you can deal with the consequences of sex (e.g. babies, STDs). Then you have some time in the new job market to adjust. After the mid-20s you start settling down somewhat. Natural course of things. You don't have enough time, money or endurance to do it up like you did when you were in college. So you'll date a few girls and maybe settle for one by the time you're 30. Then you're ready for marriage, and if you're lucky, death soon follows.


I'll italicize this as a statement you actually can't back up without another statement that will be in limbo for backing up.
Try again, Glenda. It's clear you haven't really read what I posted, or if you did, you didn't comprehend it. I've answered all these in my post, mostly under life experience and what not.


I disagree with the first sentence, as it is a generalization and there are people who disprove it.
OK, once again, Mildred, you got me. I committed a fallacy of the English language by using a term like "all" instead of "most" because there are nitpickers out there that love to invalidate whole paragraphs on semantics. Fine. Let me clarify. I am talking to my audience here, which is a bunch of privileged kids who have internet access and time to spend bitching about how tough life is on the internet. I'm not talking to those kids who live life on the streets or grew up in Africa. Happy now?


Wow, that is just too stupid to even be worth explaining.
Actually, it's not. What you're attempting to do is passive-aggressively make a point thrown in with a little humor, but lacking the conviction or sack to go right out and say what you want to say.


bolded and underlined several. Take your pick.
All dealt with, Frances (with an E it's in feminine form)


And you can back this up how...?
Addressed this in the second post I made.



If you reply with another cloud of stupidity like this one, then I'm going to actually laugh and facepalm simultaneously for the first time. Your maturity is even more in question now due to the fact that you said all of those things, rather than back up the stuff I was actually arguing against.
This is my favorite part of internet arguments. "IF YOU REPLY TO THIS THEN I'M NOT GOING TO REPLY TO IT BECAUSE YOU'RE WRONG AND I'M WRITE AND I HAVE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND AND DON'T HAVE TO DIGNIFY MYSELF BY REPLYING TO YOU!"

Whatever, pussy. Oops. Looks like I did give you a nickname after all.

[Jinxieminx]

I can tell this is going to continue for some while. You boys have fun now. Odin, play nicely with the little kids.

[idk]

All I have to say is that I didn't say I wasn't going to reply to it. However, I will just put this guy on ignore so I don't have to read any of the dumb things he says. No use arguing with a guy with few reading comprehension skills, recycled arguments with personal anecdotes as evidence, etc. over his own losing battle.

[Odin]

HAHAHA! And the losing the internet argument mainstay rears it's predictable head. "This guy sucks and is wrong, I'm not going to read what he says anymore."

You are a shining paragon of the public school educational system, good sir. Simply marvelous.

[Darts]

I call you girls names because you are not worthy of the male one your parents so foolishly bestowed upon you, kitten.

Maybe one day you'll work your way up to pet nicknames, like "Sport" or "Slugger" but not today, Melinda.


OMG Dr. Cox, is that you? <3 <3 <3

[Odin]

The one you call Dr. Cox is a prophet.

[Darts]

I emphatically agree, newbie. (ihartyou)
