Guest Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 ok, so your stance is either, "All things that are popular are good" or that we think "Nothing popular is good" and neither of those statements are true. So what's popular that isn't good? where to start...? N-Dubz, being a chav, txt spk, Boyzone... N-Dubz fans think N-Dubz is good. Chavs think chavs are good. People who use txt spk think txt spk is good. Boyzone fans think Boyzone are good. So you're basically wrong, and expressing a personal opinion as fact. By that rationale Nazi's are good, Fundamentalist Muslims are good, Rape is good. None of those are particularly popular though are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 good doesn't always mean popular and popular doesn't always mean good... I can't understand how this simple idea isn't picked up by Thompers Popular does mean good. Take Coldplay for example, not my cup of tea personally, but I'd have to be a right arrogant cock to dismiss them as shit because i prefer alternatives ...Ahem Yeah, and you genuinely thought I meant literally? http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...mp;#entry793850 Leazes and the Irish boy in typical thick fuck fashion taking the carling post seriously. Jesus thats the 2nd time you've said this lately What? Completely different. You really are the thickest cunt alive, do you know that? You can take that literally btw, because I fucking mean it literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say there are as many "fans" of Fundamentalist Islam as there are fans of, say, N-Dubz so what is it ASM, how many people have to be fans of Rape before it's good?
