saint:
Opinions without tact or common courtesy will inevitably leave you an outcast of whatever social group you're stating them in. Having an opinion is fine. But flatly stating your opinions without regard to how you present them and how they are received is not a virtue or something to be proud of. Understanding this is what makes the difference between someone who is interesting (regardless of whether or not you agree with their opinion) and someone who is just simply loud and boorish.

As a side note, failing to understand this will likely leave you going through life with people perpetually mad at you and/or unwilling to socialize with you. Taking it as a point of pride that "I told it like it is and their reaction is their problem" is a poor substitue for a lonely, isolated life and one I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Tact isn't a weakness. You can make your points and state your opinion without losing sight of tact and other people's feelings.

Well I'm honestly not trying to attack anyone either. I just have strong opinions against it. and yeah i'll openly call them ugly and pitiful cuz it's my opinion and I hope they know I strongly believe they shouldnt care, especially if they're happy with it.
it's all about opinions really

Yeah but this is the internet.. I don't need tact really
Some people assume I act the same way in real life, and maybe some people do that, but I sure as heck don't.

I'm NOT an ass. They're just my opinions. I didn't pick them arbitrarily. The way you just misquoted me made me look like i was being a ---meecrob--- when doing it. I didn't say it like that and you know it. I said they're ugly, and in a way disgusting to look at, but I have the same opinion of a ford mustang.. they're material objects.

You still miss my point entirely... have your opinons... I have mine.  But why go about them so meanly?  Obviously you've never heard of satire or a bit of fun since obviously my quote was not a direct quote of yours.... it was simply a characterization of how your argument seems to some people in this thread.

Who ever said just cuz it has a big tube in it it's awesome? There's a TON of other things on cabinets I hate aesthetically. Someone simply brought up a very important aspect of an arcade cabinet.
--- End quote ---

what?  YOU said it had to have a big monitor to be awesome... that's your EXACT argument.  Big screen = good, small = ugly, not good.  You can't backpedal that far buddy....



And THAT's not juvenile? Who said it was an argument.. They're my opinions. All these personal attacks on me pointdablame are getting a little cliche. If YOU don't have anything nice to say...

--- Quote ---First... these aren't personal attacks. they are my opinions.  I personally feel that you are being quite mean in your actions and you are very arrogant, and quite frankly... an ass.  It's my perogative to feel this way, just as it's yours to have your opinions.  However, I try to keep my criticisms consturctive except for cases like yours when you are so overly nasty and rude to people that I feel you deserve a bit of it back.  I am not juvenile... I can assure you that.  It simply amazes me that you make these statements.... and say such harsh things... and don't listen to people here... and fall back on a 5 year old's argument of "I feel that way, thats all there is, wah wah"

ANd for the record... I know that's not a direct quote of yours... no need to say I'm misquoting you ;)
