That post just makes you seem bitter and full of yourself. You give out about whiny 14 year olds, and then you complain about finding a half empty diet coke can behind a stack of books. Since you're obviously so much better than everyone else, use that massive brain of yours to find a solution. Good luck when you encounter a real problem.

I never said I was better than everybody else or that am super smart. Hell, I spelled intellectual wrong. I'm no better or smarter than anybody else on this site. You can't sit there though and tell me you would'nt be pissed about something like that though. Also I think I have a right to complain because the next closest major bookstore is an hour drive away.

P.S. Complaining about things this time of season is more fun because everybody else is so damn happy and joyful. Bah Humbug.



It just seems a little harsh refering to others as illiterate apes and challenging the mental capacity of those who have different taste in books than you. When you get a little bit older you'll learn to let all these insignifigant things slide, and you'll be a better person for it. Either that, or you'll arm yourself to the teeth and take out several libraries, bookstores and museums before dying in a spectacular gunfight with the police.

I've steered clear of this thread because I simply didn't know what to say. It's good to see someone more articulate than myself expressing what I think allot of us were thinking. Oh, and what's with the name change?

No you aren't. What you have to realise is that most books are written for idiots (just check out the ammount of trashy novels churned out about SAS or soppy, pointless love stories, that make their way onto the shelves. Personally I don't care if such people have infiltrated bookstores; buying a book, like most things in life for me, is an in-out 1 minute experience.

If you want to take action against these people, rally the nerds and get them to hang in dole offices, churches and macdonalds.

Nobody called you a bad guy, but maybe you could be a little more understanding and relaxed.

Heh I know exactly what you're talking about, but to be honest that was me being a d***h**d for the sake of it, rather like my first reply to this thread. There's no veonm behind it, so in my eyes it's ok.
