I'm not literally crying, just a little depressed that people care more about Mike Modano because he's an American record setter than anything that actually matters. I personally don't care that the most recognizable names in Hockey share my nationality. People are more concerned with the "coolness" of their new tattoo and the stupid things they do when they are intoxicated than the bearing any of this actually has on reality. Society likes mental masturbation more than anything productive. I find it particularly depressing that thousands of lonely old women are deteriating away in nursing homes from their sacrifices to our liberty while the masses are out parading around with little red symbols pretending to actually care about these people, meanwhile never reaching out to do a thing for them.

Just ignore me, I'll leave you alone. Clearly I'm outnumbered on my thoughts. Go back to discussing peanuts.

How do you get up in the mornings?

That's what AET is for. It's okay to chat sometimes you know. (not a chat room). Erm...

But seriously, lighten up bud. We're not all stupid. Some of us just enjoying having a light hearted conversation. Even if it is about peanuts and scotch eggs.

No one's ignoring you but you need to lighten up a little bit. You sound like me when I was fifteen!

That's good. I'd do something similar, but I believe you need qualifications of some sort. Heck, the Ontario government never even called me about my mailroom job application. It seems that if you have motivation you can get anywhere, or if you have a disability jobs are handed to you, but if you lack motivation, as I do, then your fucked. I spend some time visiting veterans and helping them to get the things they need, handrails for their bathtubs, comfortable chairs, hospital beds, scooters, etc... but I've always lacked a real physical motivation to do anything and I feel much more capable of discussion, hopefully to motivate others who have the capacity to take action.

Maybe you wouldn't be so flipant, rude and superior around here if you had something esle to occupy your thoughts.
Get a job, stop being so lazy.

I'm actually at work right now. All three of the catagories you put me in are subjective value judgements. Personally I find many things rude which you probably would not. I find the Modano thread to meet all three of those terms, but I expect you probably don't.

OK, that's rude and presumtious
It's like this my friend, if someone wants to discuss something here then that's up to them, if I'm not interested I don't get involved. I don't even know who, or what Modano is, I have no desire to. I do however take exception when someone behaves in an impertenent manner towards me for no apparent reason.
I mean, live and let live. There's no point in going out of your own way to be mean to someone, no matter how natural and easy it may come to you, there really is no need. You should always consider other peoples feelings before you subject them to your thoughts, fair enough if someone causes you upset, then tell them what you think, don't hold back. But, at the same time, don't go around making snide remarks to complete strangers just because you feel you are able to do so (superiority). I may share a lot of your thoughts and beliefs as far as you know, but you didn't stop to find out, and that's what I considered rude. And if you are at work now, then you're obviously not being as productive as you could be.
Peace and love.

So how about those peanuts with the crispy coating?

Some of the most hipocrtical shit I've ever read. You call me presumptious and rude, but then assume that I could be more productive in my job, which I can't, because my duties amount to 3 minutes of work every 30 minutes and my contract states I'm not to do anything else. And wasn't it you who said that I am rude, flipant and act superior? Maybe I'm not acting superior, but expressing a difference of opinion, maybe the negative qualities you infer from my speech are merely incidences of observer bias.

You were rude buddy, spew out all night long if you wish to, you were bloody rude. It's a fact, handle it. I've no desire to be caught up in this thing with you, I was merely pointing out your rude behaviour, if you can't/don't want to accept it then fine. And I'm really not for being fished by someone who has 54 minutes to spare out of every hour they're in work, I mean good luck to you, but don't involve me, or at least don't try and involve me....go find another stretch of river.

Rudeness is the (apparent) disrespect and failure to behave within the context of a society or a group of people's social laws or etiquette. These laws have already unspokenly been established as the essential boundaries of normally accepted behavior. To be unable to align one's behavior with these laws known to the general population of what is socially acceptable would be considered rude.

I would agree with this wikipedia definition and add that this is an appeal to the majority, or common sense, which can only be determined by the values of the one using the statement, and therefor, what is rude, and who or who isn't rude, is determined solely by the values of the one using the term and has no basis in reality. Furthermore a determination of what is and isn't rude relies on a subjective interpretation of the implicit intention of the original speaker. A feat which could be easily obscured by any number of biases or logical fallacies.
