He can't answer your question. John Cleese explains;

As explained above, Dutchjazzer and babe suffer from this very same condition. They are all highly trained climate scientists. In their own minds. They're all legends in their own minds...

taking psychological advise from a actor is like getting medical advise from a hooker.

those people are meant to entertain us!


why is the left looking up to these dancing monkeys, who are their just to be dancing monkeys and entertain us!
yet we think they are some enlightened souls and we should listen to them.

celebrities are just famous dancing monkeys, they dance for you, you throw them some coin!

Ive read like 5 posts in this thread. I take it the discussion has fallen apart into climate denial hearsay?

The signal to noise ratio in Jazzfanz GD is terrible. There is no intelligent discussion to be had.

Sad.
[MENTION=1]Jason[/MENTION], [MENTION=14]colton[/MENTION] this is a legit problem and one that can be fixed. It's up to you guys if you want to let this once vibrant forum die or not.

Man. I've gone like pages now just seeing ignored post after ignored post. Let me guess, Dutch, Boris, and babe went full meltdown and decided to caca all over this thread.

Hi [MENTION=26]Gameface[/MENTION]

Hi [MENTION=26]Gameface[/MENTION]

Thrillers theory confirmed.

Good job bro.

If you think GD is bad try reading the Jazz forum. The amount of stupidity there has always been overwhelmingly unbearable. But hey, let [MENTION=3123]Cappy_Smurf[/MENTION] and his brand of retard be the typical fan while all reasonable discourse fall to the wayside. That's what fans do. And nobody should be a fan other than the way he is. That's it!

Personally, I'd rather read the rantings of thought provokers like Dutch, Boris, and Babe than the **** heaping of stuff like Red provides, or the cryings of those who want content to read but don't want to provide any, or the hipster group think of the day circle jerk. TBH, I read Red and all the links that poster puts up as an exercise in mental exhaustion. I seriously cannot understand how anyone can read and listen to so much of that kind of trash. I can only compare it to listening to Alex Jones 24/7 or reading comments on Zero Hedge.

With all due respect, which is not much respect, you are a classic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect:

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Dunning-Kruger_effect

"The Dunning-Kruger effect (also Mount Stupid[1] or Smug Snake[2]), named after David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University, occurs where people fail to adequately assess their level of competence — or specifically, their incompetence — at a task and thus consider themselves much more competent than everyone else. This lack of awareness is attributed to their lower level of competence robbing them of the ability to critically analyse their performance, leading to a significant overestimation of themselves.

In simple words it's "people who are too stupid to know how stupid they are".

And the Earth is not heading into an ice age...

But, you know better, because you're way too stupid to realize just how stupid you are. The same sorry condition holds true for your soul brothers Boris and Dutchlazzer. All way too stupid to know how stupid you actually are....

You're an *******.

Their lack of civility and the basic give and take that is essential for discussion are my biggest complaints. They simply try to yell louder.

There is never a "yeah, I was wrong about that, but I still think in general X is true." It's all neener-neener followed by the popular responses of the day, #fakenews, #nothingburger, #blahblahblah.

They are not providing thought provoking ideas and they certainly are not doing it in a way intended to create dialogue. They are regurgitating right wing spin. They are all output and no input. They don't want to hear what anyone else is saying. They just want to make noise.

I disagree. This forum has always been about the trolls firing out ******** and at the same time being thought provoking.

At the end of the day, this forum has been slowly dying for a long time. There are a few hangers on, but at the end of the day, most main posters have left en masse.

 

[Gameface]

I feel like there is no one here I disagree with who will have an honest conversation. There are plenty of us who can go around patting each other on the back for being so brilliant, but that's pretty pointless. I feel that there used to be people of various points of view who would provide insightful thoughts on any given subject and who would acknowledge points made against them on occasion.

babe, has pointed it out, this forum has a large mob (of which I am a part) with similar views on the current topics of the day, and a few people who shout at us with cheap memes-turned-to-text type responses.

Yeah, maybe this was a long time coming and I'm slow. I don't know.

Part of it, I believe, is that the traditional opposition has joined forces with the mob because of the horror that is our POTUS. Many life-long conservatives see Trump the way most of us independents and liberals see Trump. So We have Stoked, Colton, Myself, Siro, Ron Mexico, Harambe, Red, etc. all critical of the President and much of what is happening because he is our President. So almost all of the rational participants just happen to be on the same side for once.

It only started dying once the thought provokers took over. It was a good place to have a discussion not that long ago.

Also "main posters" is something that changes with time. The forum didn't come packaged with its posters.

 

[JazzGal]

I have seen people discuss the demise of Jazzfanz's General Discussion boards over the years for similar reasons. Yet it lives on. I trust it will continue.

Right now, it's the deadest it's ever been. For obvious reasons.

I have seen some try to push a fantasy where the forum was the fulcrum of civilization in 2005 or something, where world changing ideas were being thrown about by some of America's greatest mental giants. Then they left, and the forum turned to ****, with inferior posters like Dalamon (yuck!).
