Is it a coincidence that pro-opebo people and the Update crowd largely overlap?

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Definitely "no".

They tend to be the people who are here for fun.  opebo and Update are both very fun. 

[Joe Republic]

Yeah, you guys are totally Kevin Bacon in Footloose.

But replace dancing with talking about hiring underage prostitutes and making fun of overweight rednecks with learning disabilities.  Otherwise totally the same.

Nope. Horrible groups tend to overlap.

Nope. Horrible groups tend to overlap.

Agree. No surprise that the fun-haters want to ban both opebo and Update.

Also opebo stated he only hired adult prostitutes and if Bushie has a learning disability how did he graduate college?

edit: No, I'm not saying that having one making graduating college impossible, but Bushie is not exactly the poster child for hard work and motivation in overcoming weaknesses.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

if Bushie has a learning disability how did he graduate college?

Is this a serious question?

[they don't love you like i love you]

Bushie is not exactly known for hard work for motivation. Now yes one can be quite lazy and still graduate college (there's even a great meme on it), but if you have a disability severe enough to have an impact on that it's not quite so easy.

BRTD, speaking as someone with severe learning difficulties, I hope you realize how offensive that statement was.

Yes I do. I should've clarified that it's primarily due to Bushie being notoriously lazy and unmotivated as well.

And you show much better judgment and decision making than Bushie. Whatever his issues are (and I won't doubt that there's something going on), I wouldn't call them a "learning disability".

I have to say, a few of these describe me perfectly. Not most of them fortunately (I almost never miss classes, I take courses moderately seriously, and I generally do my best in exams / term papers) but the whole procrastinating thing is spot on.

That was me for about two years.

The irony of someone like Mr. X calling anything "horrible" is rich.

I'm honored that out of everyone who has called Snowstalker out on his awful posts, I seem to be one of the few who have gotten under his skin enough that he appears genuinely upset by how I respond to his posts.  Clearly I am doing something right  And to think, I never even would've known had Antonio not quoted Snowstalker's post, seeing as I have the latter on ignore

What opebo and Bushie have in common, aside from being extremely pleasant to even the most vile detractors, is that they have both led very interesting lives. Just about everybody else on Forum has the exact same story. Professional parents. Grew up in mass affluent suburbia. Tries as best they can to fit in with the crowd. Nothing innately wrong with all that, but it's rather boring. Bushie and opebo don't mind being different, even if it means they will be crucified for it. The people who expect everybody to be exactly the same, just like them, with the same opinions and values as them, and if not, off to Siberia with you, are major HPs.

[Mr. Morden]

I'm anti-opebo but cool with Update, so I disprove your theory.

(Note that I ignored the word "largely" in the subject line.)

[Eraserhead]

Do we have any pro-opebo/anti-Update posters?

When lurking I thought Bushie was Opebo.
