Why do people seem to think that starting a post/thread with "I'm a noob" gives them an excuse to be lazy and not even try.

I used to really enjoy coming to AfterDawn but I find that I enjoy it less and less because of the sheer laziness and ignorance that is exhibited by more and more of the posts.

I just had to let that out.

It's been uk school half term.. you will get used to the pattern of morons and retarded lazy posts after a while.

When you know how to completely trash their hardware.. and then you behave most earnest and wait for them following the guidance and wrecking it beyond repair... now that's fun XD

It's not just UK schools. This behavior appears to be rampant in the US as well.

Everybody wants the fish, but no one wants to learn how to fish.

All you have to do is walk around a Mall where all the youngsters are gathered; and just eavesdrop and learn what the educational system is producing. It's not just us old farts that are brain dead- but the newly arriving grads are way ahead -brain dead at 20. Can't even make change without the cash register-much less count it back to you. Actually the cash registers have little hamburgers and fries symbols on them, as a visual aid! No wonder the world's broke!
