^That page has an image of the Hulk holding a huge popsicle stick. Its argument is invalid.
LOL I believe that that artwork is used to Illustrate a bad idea that many would dislike and how detractors of it would benefit from Nerd Rage. Reading the article would explain how.

Either my phone sucks or this site sucks.
considering that this double post thing doesn't seem to happen to others on here, I'd have to bet that its your phone.
It seems to happen to everybody, including myself. There are double posts all over the forums. It does happen on other sites, but with less frequency.
Boom! It's Jay's fault!
"Nerd rage gets a bum rap. People think that angry nerds are just freaking out about minor continuity mistakes, or taking stuff too seriously. But sometimes, geeks get mad for good reason, and when people assume nerd rage is trivial, it's part of an overall process of belittling geeks.
And when enough geeks get pissed off, it can be a mighty force. If nerd rage could be harnessed as an energy source, it would keep the lights on in Shanghai for a year - and it often helps improve the worlds of geek culture and technology. Here are seven ways that nerd rage can make the world a better place."
That's intro to the article. I really get behind these things because of the reasons listed in the article. I also believe that tenants listed here can be applied to other areas of society to effect positive change. Free Corporate business practices in how they sell, market and provided services.
One minor example is the practice of many electronics retailer such as best buy who would not sell without getting your soc security #. Now in the past when I have used that example I always get one or two hand waves about how it doesn't happen. But it does. Or at least did. Perhaps Best Buy is a franchise and only certain stores did it, or its a policy that has been dropped or whatever. Point is I been to many stores around the nation that do this and its bullshit. And the vast majority of people I talked about it says "meh, I dont like it but that's the way it is". NO!!! Apathy allows the practices to occur. If enough people band together and complain bad practices such as that would be terminated.
Could nay sayers bring examples of it not working, sure. But the exceptions do not invalidate the rule.
That's not nerd rage.

I love the Affleck meme on this one.

This is the kind of Pompous snotty sniff about Nerd Rage, that should be slapped down.
The Giver looks f*cking awful.
I don't think this is the first time I've mentioned this, but after seeing it again, I really am quite angry.
Admittedly, I don't know if this is taking anything from the sequels or not, but...
The book is a small, quiet, intimate story about two people connecting and a boy learning about the atrocity that is his culture.
The movie looks like another damned insurrection movie (like we haven't had enough of those already) with a scale far too large and unjustified.
I mean, come on with some of this stuff.
Meryll Streep as a high-up official talking in condescending speech to one of the 'perpetrators'? (WHO WERE NEVER FOUND OUT IN THE BOOK!!!!)
Joanna in some sort of containment?
Jonas and Gabe escaping in a DESERT?!? And being abducted by a bland hovercraft?
God I hate hollywood sometimes...
I’m just here because I’m driving tonight.
Ah, The Giver ... that was a book I read at the right age at the right time to have the right effect on me. Just like Jumper, I'm never going to watch the film adaptation.

You know, you could actually enjoy a nice conversation and have a decent time on this board, if you just behaved a little and didn't act like we owe you something. Unmoderated doesn't mean you can do ANYTHING you want!!
We do have a kind of a problem with trolls and socks, unfortunately, so we might have a reason to be paranoid. You, on the other hand, just came in through the door uninvited one day, like Kramer but without the charm... I understand, you're looking for a place to discuss stuff, but maybe this
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Politics/post/706169/#TopicPost706169
is not what you would call a good first impression. We do enjoy "moronathons" but that right there seemed like a really bad start. As I said, unfortunately we've dealt with assholes in the past, so maybe acting like you are right now, treating our modest garage like it's a goddamn two bits saloon and calling a mod a "fucking vandal" is gonna get your posts locked and your ass banned before you can say "Jack Robinson".Also, FYI, if you actually do not have Asperger's Syndrome, don't act surprised if people aren't too thrilled about you using the term all willy nilly like that.
who gives a shit???? big fucking deal
oh, my mistake, you're clearly a child.
Of course, you have two options, you can prove us wrong and become a member of a community, and maybe gain our respect, our you can get the fuck outta here.
Your choice.
Right on, Leo.

(Ignores grammar) Have you been to an actual concentration camp?
VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.

For the briefest moment I wonder if you are a little unpleasant paranoid creep, an ill behaved ten year old, or just a troll.
Being a mental is a proper disease, I don't think we should mock him for it...much ;-D

He's all three depending on the universe in question.
