**** “Idiocracy, the movie, is now a documentary” ****
Prophecy?
I used to think it was just an indicator when I added it to my tag
I dislike the name “vanity” used to differentiate itself in a pejorative way from Big Respectable Media articles. The latter are far less reliable and far more dangerous to be given the weight they are given here.
What obligation or need has some individual writing about something to report honestly?
They don’t even have a single person checking anything.. they
just rip off material from the dreaded MSM and re-word it, put a bit of spin
on it and presto-change-o, you’ve got a blog post or a vanity thread.
Just because the media wants to feed you a crap sandwich
does not mean that you must declare delicious every bit of
roadkill offered to you, simply because it isn’t a crap sandwich.
I totally agree. People truly are vain to post some of these one-line spews.
I thought this vanity was about me.
Just clouds in my coffee.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment and I actually feel that citizens should get a tax break for owning guns as they actually help keep crime down. If you don't believe me, just go to Alabama or Texas and try and break into somebody's house. It might be the last thing you do. But these "What Gun Should I Buy" posts are so cliche here.
Otherwise well written vanities don't bother me. Most Freepers have good writing skills and their vanities are often of op-ed quality.
Those who open a thread just for a random thought composing of a sentence or two - I could do without them.
So, you went to Saratoga. How did your horse do?
True, for the most part!
I find most ‘vanities’ interesting. :)
The following is apparently breaking news:
Poll: South Carolina still solidly for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton
Trump’s Ceiling of Support May Be Limited
Trump Leads GOP Field In South Carolina By 16 Points After NH Win
Trump Has Huge Lead Over Cruz in Two SC Polls
I’ve got nothing against Trump in particular, but this is not breaking news.
Well naturally it won.
You just beat me to it while I was waiting for photobucket.
I have long felt that vanity posts should be deleted immediately.
Where else will we post kitty pictures and the “well, bye” guy??!!
Nobody cares.
