Default Misinformation...

Anyone notice how much misinformation is floating around out there?

Every post I've read in the past couple hours has some sort of information that is totally incorrect. Everyone is going by what their "dawgz" tell them or by something that they read in Superstreet.

Maybe, instead of regurgitating something that they read in on Honda-Tech, maybe they should try it out, or even state that they aren't completely sure before they state it as truth.

Misinformation only leads to problems. It doesn't make you look good when you get called out. And it basically pissess everyone off.

If you don't know what the hell you are talking about, please, don't post. If you feel that you absolutely need to, do a little research before you make yourself look stupid.

School is more important than cars
And then what?

Hehe, it always bothers me when people use those words incorrectly, too.

I completely agree with you on that. I don't claim to know everything, and I sure as hell don't post something unless I've seen it with my own eyes or done it myself. I don't go by what others say, or I'll begin my post with, "I've heard that..." to make sure people know that I'm not stating something as a fact.

Ha ha, actually, I got caught using "then". I just emphasized that word to show I changed it.

Your punctuation is incorrect. With a few exceptions, punctuation marks go inside quotations. For instance, Jane didn't know he said, "I ate an apple." Like I said, though, there are a few instances when punctuation marks go outside of quotations, but your above sentence was marked incorrectly.

Since when did H-T become English class?

EDITED FOR SPELLING.

What are you talking about?

The original signature said this:

School is more important then cars.

I changed it to:

School is more important than cars.

The word, "than" is emphasized as a joke to the original people that pointed out the error.

I referred to what you posted: Ha ha, actually, I got caught using "then". I just emphasized that word to show I changed it.

It should read ". . . .I got caught using 'then.'" Notice where the period is? That's how it should be.

And this is way O-T. I better stop before my percentage drops.

I have it, on reliable authority, that I'm the 3rd smartest person on this site. Would you like to guess who #1 and #2 are? At least that would turn this 'rant' into something useful...

I didn't ask who is thought to be the "third smartest person" on this site.
I was stating the fact that there is a lot of false info floating around.

If you really want to make this a pissing contest, find another thread.

Schools is fun. Actually, pretty stressful. So far, there have been a few days where I've been up at 4 am working on projects. I just have to learn to stop procrastinating.

Have you applied yet?

Look, school, so called, is a bunch of bullsh!t. It's a right-of-passage. So is this place. If you had 10 posts to your credit, I'd be kicking your f*cking *** black 'n' blue right now, but you've paid your dues, Mr. 188 Posts Guy, so I'm going easy on you.

Basically you're saying that you're smart, 'cause you go to school, and we're all a bunch of dumbasses. I'm a Teamster vice-president and make 6-figures a year. Do you see me lording it over everyone? Your comments don't offend ME, Mr. Art Degree, 'cause I'm the 3rd smartest ******* on this site. I don't give out "misinformation" and neither do a LOT of other ppl. That was my point, school-boy. Get a clue...

If you would like to get specific, that's fine, but how do you answer a question like, "What color should I paint my car?" Is anybody really right or wrong? In the meantime, STFU...

I figure I'm the smartest person on any site I happen to frequent. Take it for what it's worth. I don't get on all Honda sites, but I get on this one, so consider yourself lucky.

On H-T, I had to turn off the IM, 'cause I had so many ppl asking me for advice and kissing my ***, et cetera. This isn't a condemnation of anyone, so don't take offense; just a matter of fact.

Anyway, while talking to a certain unnamed influential individual on this site, it was commented upon that I was the 3rd smartest person on H-T, not #1. Whatever!

I don't want to bore you, but you asked. Whom do you think was #1 and #2? I'll be glad to tell you, if you guess correctly...

Are you really that stupid? Actually, I kinda got the idea when it took you three tries to get that last post perfected.. but back to the topic on hand.

188 posts? Sorry son, I have more than that. And if you're gauging my knowledge based on how many posts I have on Honda-Tech, you're not really living up to this "3rd smartest person" monicker that you've applied to yourself.

Basically you're saying that you're smart, 'cause you go to school, and we're all a bunch of dumbasses.
I <u>never</u> said that. You must be reading another post. I simply stated that people are talking about **** that they have no clue about. OMG, how ironic??

I'm a Teamster vice-president and make 6-figures a year. Do you see me lording it over everyone?
Yet, you drive a Civic HX? Riiiight.

Your comments don't offend ME, Mr. Art Degree, 'cause I'm the 3rd smartest ******* on this site.
Pardon me, but I could truly give a **** about you. And who ever told you that you are the smartest person on this site was obvsiously mistaken. I'm sorry to break the news to you like this.

I don't give out "misinformation" and neither do a LOT of other ppl. That was my point, school-boy. Get a clue...
Maybe you haven't been paying attention. Or maybe to you, the misinformation reads as correct.

If you would like to get specific, that's fine, but how do you answer a question like, "What color should I paint my car?" Is anybody really right or wrong? In the meantime, STFU...
You must not be very intelligent. There is something called opinion and another called fact. If you truly cant differentiate the two, you should break out the Websters and do some reading.

Until then, get off my nuts

I thought, for sure, that he must have been joking. There's no way he doesn't know about Fowler y0!

Why did you get your post count reset, anyway?

Haha.

But seriously, you may have been one of the first people whose posts I read, and thought to myself "this person actually knows what they're talking about."

Fowler stuck out in my head....

Tested at 138, the last time I took an IQ. Maybe I <u>am</u> #3 on H-T, who knows? Anyway, I'm smarter than you...

What brought on this 'rant?' Don't mean to get personal, but it seems that you are full of resentment. Would you care to share it with us?
