Why do all my jew comments get ridiculed?

I'm an equal opportunity offender. Even Canadian/Scottish/Irish jokes

I'm the only one that ridicules them.

I know, but thats all that counts, no?

Sine I'm Jewish and all, it might count a little.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Well thats what I'm saying. If its not funny for you, then its offensive and thus, lame

Sometimes they're funny.

The problem is that there are so many coming my way on this site from the usual suspects that I've become quite picky. Discerning, if you will.

Also, it's hard to compete with Laz because he has inside knowledge. How can that be? Ask him!

 

[Jive Turkey]

Ah, well I shall refrain



(It's not all that clever anyway)

 

[LMP]

Basically yeah. Though I'm still not happy with it. I guess it serves it's purpose for the sake of temporary list rankings. I'm not happy with the idea of using any sort of linear scale for 'rating' a film or any form of art these days. But it gets the job done to an extent.

Agreed. As far as succinct impressions go though, it does a good job of expressing them.

Mike. You have no facial hair, you go through money faster than Dalton's wife goes through pregnancy tests, and you don't even work in the entertainment industry anymore. Don't take it personally.

If you were Canadian, you would be a drunken sapsucker with all but three teeth missing no matter how little it reflected reality. We can't make fun of your posts, so we have to use something.

A lot of love hate boredom spurred on that Jaws photoshop, you must confess.

Oh, no, feel free to pile on whenever you feel the urge. Perhaps you can eclipse Laz's work one glorious night.

And lack of cleverness never stops anyone on this site from doing anything.

I spent a year threatening to lead an invasion of Canada, so there's that. Maybe 2 years.

I suppose it does. Though a good sentence or two can do just as much and a hell of a lot more too if you're careful. So it's uses are still fairly limited.

Oh, methinks you're confusing "personal" with "tiresome".

Oh, and I have a beard going for weeks now!

10 - a/a+
9 - a-
8 - b+
7 - b/b-
6 - c+
5 - c
4 - c-
3 - d+
2 - d/d-

I'm going to teach this scale how to speak English.

You obviously don't mind us mocking you that much.

It's not like a hassidic beard, it's more like a hockey playoff beard.

wait.... Should I be offended by this?

A comment on the ratings. I've been trying to come up with one for a good long while now, and it's really just getting tedious at this point, but I'm pretty happy with a % system out of 100 that would be equivalent to an American grading system, so:

90-100 = A or Excellent
81-89 = B or Good
71-79 = C or Average
61-69 = D or Meh
0-59 = Variations of awful.

Inside those blocks there are other ratings, something that I would give an 89% too would be closer to excellent than good, for example. Pretty much this system is arbitrary to my opinions, but that's how it goes.

 

[Jive Turkey]

ya, thats just as lame. I'm done

My system

Excellent
Good
Ok/Meh
Not good
Suck-fuck

I don't think I'm ever allowed to make a Jew joke about you again, considering Hasidic only has one S.

Did you keep it so the Blackhawks would continue to win? My superstition was to only watch the last five minutes of every game. Hardcore fan up in this bitch.

I'm not sober, let me make that clear. One spelling error amongst a shit-ton of posts tonight, not too shabby.

I kept it so I could continue to win. At life.

My friend does this same thing and it really bothers me. Easily the worst system I can imagine. It works for academic grading obviously, because you're shooting for deviations in the upper half of achievement, the standards for passing are necessarily high. But for merely ratings things, you're using a scale of 0-100, but you're still only really using less than half of the scale for any real degree of rating. You know what I mean? On a scale of 0-10, anything below 6 or 7 is bad? How does that make any sense? If you want to use the academic scale for this sort of thing why not just use the letters? That way you aren't referencing a skewed linear scale.

linear.

Linear sucks.

Point taken, what I'm getting at is, if I were to give something a five or lower in general, it's probably not something I'm ever going to watch again as it is.

Dude. The clouds...turn into Africa.

 

[Lancemc]

That's perfectly understandable. But why need to make the equation to the academic standard grades then? Why can't 5 by the perfect average, 10 the highest and 0 the lowest? This is more useful if anything, that way it gives you a wider range of expression within the stuff you actually do like.

I'm not sober

Is everyone drunk on here at this time? I was starting to feel guilty

I'm not quite drunk either. Creeping up on being sober.

I drink like 1x a year, so, when I post late at night I'm sober. I cannot blame my idiotic posts on alcohol, sadly.

I blame them on gyro instead.*



* FUCK YES BASHLEY

 

[Jive Turkey]

I'm starting to get quite sober too, which makes me a tired Panda bear. Bed time for me. Later folks
