Charles Barkley Won't Use Twitter; Says Users Are 'Idiots'

However, Barkley has had problems with Twitter–and its users–in the past.

“Tweet is for losers. Tweet is for losers. What I mean by that. If you wake up in the morning and you worried about what I’m doing, you are a damn idiot. You are a damn idiot,” Barkley said on his website in 2011.

Barkley and Pastor Manning in back-to-back threads both supporting the verdict.

There's something positive.

Knocking these programs is like laughing at the invention of the light bulb or the phone.

Teach your kids to be true critical thinkers with strong morals and they'll use technology to rule the world.

On a side note its kind of funny to see people posting on FR about how bad such things as twitter are when its little different than FR. At FR we have more space to say what we want and we think more or less along the same path.

On twitter you have 140 characters to say what you wish but I think that gives clear thinking conservatives a great advantage. Plus I can follow who I want and insert a voice of reason into the middle of a liberal rant that they can't really avoid seeing.

Well, of course it does. If there's one thing I can't stand about FR it's the folks who can't simply make up their mind and say what they want to say without going on and on and on and on and on about stuff that is purely irrelevant to the topic but is something they're obsessed over and can't let go of like the time my Aunt Gertrude got into the chicken house with her fuzzy slippers on and stomped back into the house with feathers and chicken poop stuck to the little hairs, which made her feet look like something out of a George Romero move, not the one about the zombie Hari Krishnas in the shopping center but the one with the dissected zombie on the table with its brain showing, yeah, that one, and Uncle Bert was so ticked off because he'd just rented a carpet steamer from the local Safeway and was going to lose his deposit if he got chicken poop in it but he had to run it anyway and I'd have been ticked off too well anyway, Aunt Gertrude was one of those people who simply could not shut up about something once it got into her head and she was sure that there was something moving in the chicken house that wasn't chickens or zombies either - Aunt Gertrude didn't believe in zombies, can you believe it? But anyway Uncle Bert got out the shotgun and went stomping out there but there wasn't anything in the chicken house at all, not even a fox or a weasel or a Democrat or even a zombie which I thought there was but I was only twelve at the time and you can't blame me for watching too many George Romero movies, anyway, what I don't like are people who waste everybody's time going on and on and on and on about stuff that hey, wait a minute, I'm hearing something outside and it's probably a zombie or a Democrat and I gotta go now and grab my shotgun and to hell with the carpet steamer anyway. What was the question again?

Twitter is a useful tool for useless tools.

There, I fixed it.

An intelligent user of Twitter can learn a lot about current events in real time before those events are repackaged and whitewashed by the MSM.

Not everyone on Twitter is a Kardashian.
