I personally think the point trying to be made is to think before you say something. I think what the kid did to his X is a joke also, but that's it. I don't think he's a fucking moron.

Look at it this way. If say for example you look at a picture of my X and say to me, "Dude, you're a fucking idiot. That's the ugliest piece of shit I've ever seen!!". Keep in mind you don't know me. On this board it's ok to say that and some people find it funny. But if you were to say it face to face, I believe it's considered rude in our society to do that??

Just say your piece and move on.. That's what I think..

BTW, phuck all of ya!!!

Synchro,In all actuality "Human social interaction" has been greatly altered as a result of the internet.People, most often strangers, now feel able to freely express themselves in a way that they'd never feel comfortable to do in person.Your 1000s year old law of human interaction is out the window.This free expression that people on the internet defend so vigerously has given everyone access to the hardest core of porn,(you ever seen farm animals in that context before the net?) extreme and violent racist groups (who were underground before the net ), and countless chatrooms where anonymity seems to give everyone the ability to say exactly what they want to complete strangers without any responsibility or reprocutions.(it's what made AOl billions)This in fact IS dangerous because people now are learning that there are no reprocutions for their actions and words.When are people able to draw the line between what they can say on the net and what they can say in person?And if our words stop having meaning or responsibility and one isn't held responsible for what is said what do we have? So,yes the internet is changing things.As far as with every great social change there has been some sort of revolution ,that is quite true.But you have to look at X owners as one social class .since their common bond is an automobile they are merely different variations of the same social class .Just as you can say whites are a social class but some listen to country music and some listen to classical and some listen to punk, you can say as x owners we are the same social class we merely dress and use our cars differently.But none the less the same car under the skin.By the way,the true revolutionary here is the goofball with the fugly wheels because he was the one wiling to advance against stereotype of his car and challenge the popular use and perception if what an Xterra is about.Yeah it looks like sh%t but we don't have to make the payments.I really need a job that will keep me busy!

Don't forget ...

It's a truck, NOT a car ...

LOL that kids X is so fucking gay!

Every freagin red-neck I have had the displeasure to meet has always been a self-satisfied moron like you. You have the brains of an average monkey and write like one. Please take your time replying to this, your mindless blurbs are painful to read and hardly pass for english. Also you don't have to put my name in double quote when replying to me. I know you don't see many foreighners in your neighborhood (too busy fucking pigs), but deal with it I am not like your sorry ass. Piss off and watch your freagin mouth (again); as you can see I am taking liberties with mine.

Just so you know... I don't fuck pigs, I'm not a redneck, and I'm sure that all the nice redneck out there will not take kindly to the way you speak of them. Let me guess (your words not mine) "Bet you grand-parents thought blacks should ride in the back of the bus."

It seems that I have pissed you off and taken you away from being your "normal" self... or is this the real you shining through?
Theese are my parting words - Thank god you're not me... I couln't imagine 2 of me running around posting nonsense and useless information but, and I quote," deal with it I am not like your sorry ass"... but you are!
and good night!

See my young friend you got burned at your own game. I was pretty civil for quite a while suggesting people should moderate themselves. You went on the offensive and said "Phuck you". I flamed your sorry punk ass and now you are folding like a school girl. My point exactly. Your behaviour has antagonized me and you got what you deserved and started. Next time watch your mouth when you address people. Yours kindly.

Just as I thought... fabien totally contraDICKs himself... I one breath you say do what you want to you truck, then whan someone makes a mod he points out something he doesn't approve of. What are you saying in your own little way? You wouldn't be see dead with side rails?
Click here to see what the hell I'm talking about!!! Keep your hypocritical opinions to yourself , you jackass! :p

I do this because I think you're a fool.

What happened to "Theese are my parting words" bozo? Are you done wiping your tears yet? Why are you talking to the crowd? I think I am plenty for you and you have yet to say something remotely intelligent. You thought insulting a perfect stranger was nice and easy and now you have me. That must suck. I am very persistent. Really. You are not even enjoying your 15 minutes of fame; what a shame. Grow up. Learn to write. Go back to school. Pick the fights you can win. Stop fucking pigs.

There is a difference between saying "nice. why the step bars" and "you're a fucking moron". If you don't get the difference go to your boss or in your case your day, and try both. You'll see. There IS a difference. You're just so dumb bud, it's actually pretty funny...

and it is that very nature of people throwing out the years of social interaction for the newest medium on the block that is part of the the problem. that was my point. those laws still exist whether people like them are not. it is really sad that in teh past 6 years people have been trying so hard to demolish human interastion that has taken 1000s of years to create. so many things have gone out the window. face to face human social interaction is such an intregal thing to our species and is becoming less and less common place these days, which is VERY VERY sad.

as for your social class arguement, please DO NOT EVER lump me in with social classes of people by race. no offense, but that is about the most stupid classification i have heard in a long time.

and please do not give "revolutionary" status to somthing as pathetic as modifying a vehicle.

your arguements lack the view of the big picture of humantity. humanity is way bigger than the puny numbers of the people on the internet whose souls are being sucked into it and willingly feed the internet as if it were it's child. i too am part of that crowd, and many times wish i was not.

all of this being said, if you were to go back 50 years you'd find articles about television that mirror what we are talking about.

to look back over the life of the human species, anthropologically the first comunication types to thrive in any new form of communication are porn and religion. in the case of the internet porn is winning the early years. in the case of movable type, religion had that wrapped up for many years.

So we shall see how this all shakes out. i will bet you that in 20 years, those same old laws of social interaction will have creeped back into your "altered" human interactions.

damn i love these kinds of discussions. i wonder if there is a masters program in stuff like this?

So what you're saying is, correct me if I'm wrong, There's a right way and a wrong way to call someone a fucking moron. My way is to call them a fucking moron, your way is to hint to them that they are one (or telling them they are doing something that YOU don't think is a proper mod for the X). Let's get real... I openly make fun of someone that turns his truck into a car. You hinted an insult to someone who is making an effort of improving the off road abilities of thier truck. Big difference.

BTW- He anwsered your question.

Damn, you could roast marshmallows on this flaming thread! I hadn't followed this one for a while and see what I missed. I think what may have been valid points between the two warring parties has now digressed into simple verbal assault. Ya know, the two of you could just walk away from this and not have a winner. To quote a cool phrase from an old movie... Sometimes, the only winning move is not to play.

Ok stormy. Snarl' got a point. You pissed me off. I pissed you off and now this thing is just draggin on. We have both made our point. I am prepared to put this behind us and move on. There are worse people than you on this earth but since you dished out some dirt, I thought you could take some. Peace. Cheers,

Done! Wrong forum for this crap anyway...

Man, but it was so funny to watch.
I still think that guy is a moron, and I would run his ugly X off the road if I ever saw him.

Pussies? Naw, it takes more resolve and bravery to stop and walk away.

Damn, Stormy you must want to just argue.I was giving an example of a social class in the simplest terms that I could. I guess you just like to look for a fight ever where there isn't one.Big difference between Tv and the net.A) there wasn't an entire economy derived from the TV ( check the stock market lately?) B) as of yet your television doesn't talk back and you can't talk to it.( well at least it can't hear you when you yell at the refs)
