Kill your idols.
Granted, I don't know that many graphic artists or pro photographers. However none of the ones I do know use PCs only. It's either Mac or both.
So now if I want to become a Photoshop certified geek and teach it I have to learn Mac, which is okay. So nowI'm going to buy some sort of Mac. I had the iPhone when it first came out and it was amazing in theory but it crapped out too often. There is good and bad in both.

I won't point out then the three grammatical errors in your post. Ignored! Just kidding, bud. I appreciate your thread.

But I still disagree with you.

Are you ok with the reverse of that statement?

That the everyone else should also be free to live in whatever country they see best fits their needs? Because the population of Canada would go up by a factor of about 10 pretty quickly under that scenario.

The grammatical errors were made on purpose in that post. I am not that bad.

Honestly though, it is hard work for some people to type grammatically correct sentences. I have to spend a lot of extra time going over professional letters I send to ensure the grammar is good. When I post things on a message board I do not want to spend forever correcting myself, so sometimes the grammar is off.

Michael Jackson was a child molesting pervert, as well as a freak. He should have been shunned by society instead of idolized.

I think that grammar on a fan forum is singularly unimportant and nobody cares about your perfect grammer. I also think that people that depend on the Godwin initiative are semi brilliant internet savants

North Americans go way overboard about food safety. I like my hamburgers rare, my cheese unpasteurized, and my Asian food however the Asians see fit to cook it.

I don't know what Nellies got shut down for, but a few germs wouldn't have scared me away after the previous 30 health violations if their food was any good.

Gastric bypass and lab band surgery is for people that lack self control.

Duh? Medical conditions aside, if you have to pay a doctor to surgically limit your appetite or suck fat out of you, you probably have an issue with self-control when it comes to food.

I think that the chick who sings the song "Call me maybe" is terrible and that song represents everything thats wrong with modern music. In other words you young people have no taste in music.

CaptainCrunch · 02-07-2013, 09:47 AM

I also think that robert DeNiro is mailing it in and he's been pretty terrible since the early 80's. Ben Stiller is not funny at all and his movies are the biggest pile of crap since REveng of the Nerds 3.

After the kids are put to bed and everything is done for the day, I watch the Flames lose, or the Stamps blow leads or people catch alligators. My wife reads novels.

She's getting more out of the novels than I get out of the boob tube.

Are you able to measure that somehow? I'm not speaking to your wife specifically, as I don't know exactly what she's reading. However, most people who read novels are reading mindless paperbacks. There's a reason why John Grisham is so rich.

Lower your risk of heart attack, stare at her boobs while she reads

I agree with you 100%, but It's still an unpopular and politically incorrect opinion.

Innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply to celebs hey?

He was definitely weird, but musically, he was a GOD.

He bought off all his accusers. If he'd been an ordinary Joe Blow without $millions to payoff the parents of those children he molested, he'd still be alive and sitting in prison right now.

His music was good, but far from God.

He had some really cool tunes like Dirty Diana, Thriller, and Billy Jean. that were exceptional.

but his later work was pretty crappy.

The second case against him wasn't settled.
