2. The Passive Aggressor
We are participating in some online discussion when inevitably there pops up a voice that interjects a comment that gets under our skin. They are countering our argument, a totally legitimate action, but the manner in which they do so somehow makes a mockery of us and our ideas without really understanding what we’re trying to say. For instance, they use all kinds of loaded words in describing our position — cynical, amoral, anti-progressive, Machiavellian — all the while pretending to argue with us in an objective manner. Their criticisms if looked at closely are vague and insinuating, full of slippery generalizations, which are hard to defend ourselves against. What are they really saying? Or they extend our argument out to some absurd degree — if we argue that global warming is the greatest menace we face and we must take action against it, they will respond, “I suppose you’ve decided to live in a cave or go back to riding a horse and buggy.” Or they may praise us in a way that insinuates a dig — such as complimenting us for how much money our book is making, implying that is what motivated us in writing it in the first place.

8. The Burger King


Trash food, trash service. What reason is there to go? The whopper is just a plain burger, he gives sandwiches names like the "fluffy sausage biscuit," he doesnt wash his stockings. Not to mention the man has admitted to having crush on his sister. :scust: Do your bloodline a favor, avoid The Burger King, and dont forget to try our new :leon: signature crafted :whoo: Mushroom & Swiss burger :ohlawd:

available for a limited time @ a McDonalds near you

I'm a 3. The Intellectual Brawler sometimes.
I usually try to be friendly and stuff. Give free advice. Talk smack about other teams.
