Are we, as a people, hurtling towards ever-larger mountains of stupid, inane shit?

[jackangel]

Simply because all the good ideas have been used up?

Let's take domain names as an example. Notice that banner for www.fitnessparadiseworld.com?

What the hell does that even mean? What kind of name is that?

Hell, elitefatness.com isn't even being used yet, which is more golden. And relevant.

Innovation drives productivity which drives gains in our overall standard of living.

We've got to help innovators get back to work.

you mean the little guys that immediately have their idea's shifed from them by big corporations who can bury them in the legal system that they can't afford to fight...?? Unfortunately an ethically run govt. is the only solution to that quandry....but they are now owned as well. So basically what i'm saying is fat fucking chance. The smart, innovative people have no impetus to jump into a shark tank. We all just want to go to work for big "stable"lmao corporations where we can punch the clock for 40 odd years. If you "create" something in this world that the big boys don't have a stake in.....they just take it. Unfortunately those big boys...alot of them used to be the small guy. But once they taste the money their not about to let another small guy come through and take market share from them. And how can they? All of them are now slaves to their lifestyle and they can't lose that. What you propose simply can't happen anymore in this society. We're mad with our own ability to consume.

I'm genuinely curious. How many ideas of yours have been stolen by corporate America? Do you have any patents issued by USPTO or similar entity?

Then how do you know some big corporation is going to steal your idea?

If punching the clock every day and working for others is the only way, how many days of your 40 years have you already put in?

To be completely honest, I didn't think corporate America was tapping your phone trying to steal your secret trove of great ideas.

I just can't resist your anti-big business posts where someone or something is supposedly holding you down. Even if it were, I'd have to think the system is working as intended.

You really should patent some of you great ideas. A mind such as your would be a terrible thing to waste.

Your brain is regressing into that of a 12 year old. What are you in your early 50's? You'd think it would be heading in the other direction, I blame your jerry habit. This is why having limited interaction with you is the way to go. After 4+ posts, you're not talking to an adult anymore.....it's a spoiled little red puffy faced child who knowing his vigor is lost insists on briging the discourse to the level of a 7th grade lunchroom. There are literally children with higher emotional IQ than you have.

There's a reason why patent infringement lawyers are some of the wealthiest in the industry. Patent infringement is an art form that alot of corporations spend big bucks on.

None of that rambling looks like a list of patents. Patents usually start with a number.

if that's your opinion that's fine. It is false though. I am guilty of indulging his inner child, on that I'll agree. Maybe you should go back and review some of our history and you'll see who drags the conversation to the floor. Every thread ends up with his hyperbole and childish mockery dragging the conversation to the floor. I'm guilty of insulting him, for sure. But look at his above post for clear proof of what I'm talking about.

"None of that rambling looks like a list of patents. Patents usually start with a number"


I'm the snarky child? Review this thread and find me where I ever said I was the one who had something stolen from me. What I have been exposed to is patent law so I know a little about what goes on in this respect and how much companies are in litigation with each other over my exact previous point. It's going on left and right.....but according to the jr. high kid I'm a conspiracy theorist just cause it's never happened to me personally.

patent attorneys don't steal people's ideas dude, what are you talking about? What they make bank off of is patent litigation, I've dealt with them.....they make bank. That's the only area of law I would have ever considered going into.

I'm well aware patent attorneys don't steal the ideas and I'm well aware they make probably 2x the money regular attornies make BUT i'm saying it's not a conspiracy. Look at infomercials.. Every tom, dick and harry are "inventing" new products. And 99.99999999999% of them are fucking retarded and no corporation's are stealing them.

are you telling me coporations are that good at stealing only successful ideas?

what about the new weights that look like the girls are jerking a dick off? BRILLIANT!!

Not really

yes, you are. i'm not denying his responsibility at all. this is all childish, both sides. i'm pretty immature too on here, it's a fucking joke site 99% of the time. but on the rare occasion i jump into a discussion, i try to take it seriously and communicate without arguing or debasing myself (not always with success, i suppose).

he's amusing himself, and you're taking the bait so nicely every single time. i'm also not saying his reasoning is sound, or that he's right.

but i can picture you sputtering and frothing. i get angry too, even though it's the internet. if i've read you wrong, and you're cool as a cucumber, so be it. it's merely how it comes across to me. i doubt anyone disagrees with me, but they can speak for themselves.

you ngrs have been carrying on for years. if you enjoy it, alright, but i think it gets to you.

Well said....if you've followed our interactions here you'd have seen how many well intended threads he's ruined. Yes I jump all over him for it. Do you have any conception how many people he's condescended to here at the drop of a hat and belittled entire conversations from multiple posters because things weren't going in the direction that fits his own personal narrative? Look no further than this very thread for his techniques. There have been some very good debates here on a wide variety of topics from global warming to food to politics etc, etc. And when each one starts to diverge from where he wants us all to see things, he comes in with a personal attack on someone and diverts the entire discussion. I like heated debates where people are involved that have all kinds of viewpoints, what I can't stand is someone with no substance interjecting himself into the conversation and leading it away from it's intended purpose with hyperbole and personal attacks. No one else seems to be calling him out on it so what is one to do? Most threads here are a joke, you're right....but occasionaly we get something good going and I can't tell you how many times he's ruined it. Go see for yourself where threads end up that he get's involved in.
