Well it would be fine if you said that you don't find MMA entertaining. To each his own and all that mumbo-jumbo. However, you said and I quote "Deathwish, judging by your sig, you look like one of those morons who thinks MMA is somehow cool. Or entertaining." Kind of a big difference there, buddy.
It was a joke, I already said this. It was meant to paralel my previous post, which began the same way.
Okay, we get it: you think it's boring. But frankly I'm sure many people don't share your idea of "fun". The rest of your first paragraph doesn't even make sense so I'm not going to comment on it.
What didn't make sense, exactly? When I see bits of UFC on TV or the internet, there's almost always more rolling on the floor than punches and kicks.
Your whole idea of the sport is pretty shallow and biased. Just because you "grew out" of wanting to watch fights since you're such a superior intellectual doesn't mean that it's childish or immature. It's human nature to want to watch two people engage in combat. Lets say there is a sports complex with four fields. On one field people are playing soccer, on another they are playing flag football, on the third they are playing baseball, and on the last field a fight breaks out. Why is it that everyone on the other fields stop playing their games and go to watch the fight? Because it's human nature. So why should we be looked down upon for wanting to watch great athletes that are masters of multiple martial arts compete against each other?
Your analogy fails, man. Replace the fight breaking out with a UFC match. Now far fewer people are interested.
People aren't attracted to fights just because they happen to be fights, they are attracted to them because they are a break from continuity. There would be a similar reaction if there was a fire, or a police standing off with some criminals.
You'll notice that I have nothing against people who watch Taekwondo matches for fun. The difference between my appreciation for the two sports is that Taekwondo isn't just about beating the shit out of someone, but about form, discipline. The same goes for just about any other martial art.
Alright well I don't feel like digging up the quote but it was because someone asked you "Why don't you just go to an Atheist forum?" and you said that you already do visit one, but you like to come here because it gives you the opportunity to debate with people that are actually religious.
I think that is sort of an example of equivocation. Visiting a forum with a largely atheistic population isn't the same thing as going to a forum to "discuss amongst your peers how ridiculous the concept of religion is". I go to richarddawkins.net, and the topics there that I talk about are politics and biology. You can't have many conversations about a topic as narrow as "how ridiculous religion is".
it's kind of hard to call something a joke when you come in later defending your position of the joke, you dumb prick. stop using lame ass excuses just to hide from everyone that you're nothing more than an egocentric prick with nothing better to do than to bag on other people's preferences because they aren't the to your liking. don't you have some fat ass vampire girlfriend to make up?
Good god you are thick. Is the fact that the post in question was written as a parallel to the previous post I made too subtle for you? Or do I have to ****ing diagram the joke for you?
Gray was talking about idiots at school who think that they are tough because they watch UFC. I made the joke that judging by his signature, he was one of them. The joke here is mild irony, because while pointing out that people who think they are tough for watching UFC, his sig features a clip of UFC. This doesn't mean I was actually calling him a hypocrite, because obviously watching UFC doesn't equate to thinking you are tough for doing so, which is why I say "mildly ironic" rather than "ironic".
Then Deathwish said "Judge my sig, mother****er, I dare you!", which was a joke because it paralleled the humorous video that Gray had posted.
Finally, I responded to his rhetorical challenge, by paralleling my previous joke with a small change in focus, that change being from the exaggeration of the irony of Gray having the UFC clip in his sig to Deathwish being apparently enthralled by UFC.
And I was defending the opinion being challenged, because although my calling him a moron for being entertained by UFC was a joke, my opinion that UFC is boring was not. I felt it necessary to reiterate and expand upon that opinion.
