Though my understanding of the quote, and the actual definition of quote are probably way off.

So I was reading a random article in the national post today and questioned some of the advice so I scrolled down to the comments section and realized that nature has found a way. These MGTOW seem to be breeding.
http://business.financialpost.com/20...-retire-early/
The first three articles are talking about the poor ex-husband who is only mentioned once in passing in the entire article. Somehow these MGTOW have deduced that her success is all because of a divorce settlement that surely left the poor husband broke.
I know comment sections are a dangerous place to read, but these comments are so far out of left field and from three separate posters.

This thread really makes me miss the Freeman on the land threads
Or the occupy threads, I miss those too.

The context is different. What you're talking about is practice makes perfect. The faux-Einstein quote is about learning from your mistakes. If you keep playing your scales without tuning your guitar first you shouldn't be surprised that it keeps sounding like crap.

Next time I leave for a week I'm going to have to leave a chaperone.
What in Blue Hell was all this about?

Too bad Prime was banned. I'd be curious to find out if he was the ******* in the resort pool going on and on in an almost identical vein, over the weekend.

I wish they could ban him from every thread except this one.
Similar to a certain poster who is passionate about ranch but will remain unnamed for fear of being summoned.

What would be the point of banning her from every other thread except the one in question? Did she ever post outside of that thread?

Freemen, MGTOWs and Occupiers should all be put into a shipping crate and sent off to somewhere like Mars.

Shr briefly appeared in the ykwrgmg thread when her topic came up but was ignored and told to get lost. I bet her husband wishes he went his own way.
