You use abusive language about 1D, lack of intelligent vocabulary? I agree with you

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

No, I simply state the facts, you just need to have the intelligence to comprehend.

Some "facts" are abusive. Get a life, man! (Should I put this in simpler terms for you to understand?)

Here ya go, in your language ... "Whaaaaaaaa! I can't take a joke! WHAAAAAAAA!!! You're such a big meanie-head! Whaaaaaa! You're sooooo mean to my favorite no-singing losers! Whaaaaa! I'm such a spoiled little tween girl! WWHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" ... Hahaha grow up, child.

facts are important, therefore we say them.

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

@Tony737: Some jokes should not be made. Also, I wasn't calling anyone names. I never said I liked them, I said that your comment about them was abusive. I'm not spoiled, nor am I a tween. You tell me to grow up and you're the one calling names, throwing everything out of proportion and being immature. I don't think I'm the one who needs to grow up.

@Hunterdude: My answer is still the same. we don't need to state facts like that.

Haha you're the one coming on here whining about a joke, about a silly boyband I made weeks ago, this question had nothing to do with it. Get off your high horse, oh majestic one and learn how to handle a joke. I mean, if this is too much for you then how do you expect to handle real life?

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

I did not whine, I commented on your hypocritical statement. This question has EVERYTHING to do with it. I, clearly am not on my "high horse." You seem to be though. I can deal with one's stupid comment, but I found it ironic that you had answered this question this way.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

Yes, like I said, it's above your level of intellectual comprehension.

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

There you go again! Now you imply that I cannot comprehend your idiotic statements! Get off YOUR High horse! You, clearly, are unable to comprehend my statements.

Tony737: 2 months ago

Then stop proving me right hahaha

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

Proving you right? Wow, you're more stupid than I thought. Excuse me, "Sir." I don't have time for someone who clearly can't comprehend anything I say.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

Hahaha see what I mean? It just keeps going right over your head :-) This is fun!

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

I do admit that I do enjoy a good argument once in a while, but it helps when the opposite person has a good argument which you clearly don't, so therefore it makes no sense to continue this discussion.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

Yes, your argument IS quite lame "Whaaaaaa you're a meanie-head to OneDirection on the internet!!!!" HAHAHA

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

I never said that. Wow, you seriously can't comprehend what I say

Good answer, tony. :) very true. I happen to find your 1D jokes quite amusing :P

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

Not in those words, I'm just translating for you because it's over your head.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

Shay, that's because you have a sense of humor ... unlike SOME people around here! haha :-)

Report as

shaylen: 2 months ago

@ashley-If you actually know any abusive people, you'll see that jokes about a boy band, aren't remotely close to abuse. That's just absurd.

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

I don't need you or anyone "translating" my comments. You clearly can't translate or understand anything I say and I would be very surprised if you understood anything anyone else said.

Report as

shaylen: 2 months ago

Well thanks tony :P lol.

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

@Tony737: I have a sense of humor which you clearly do too, but unlike mine, your's is sick.

@Shaylen: I know plenty of abusive people and Tony's comment was clearly abusive, not on a large scale, but still it was abuse.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

And the fact that you're taking this seriously means that yes, you DO need translation.

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

that's your idiotic opinion, not a fact.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

Awww, that's so cute how you think you're the smartest person in the room just because you can't take a joke, as if that makes you better. As if you've never punked anybody or anything, yet I'M the hypocrite! Hahahaha get real, kid. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go take a "One Direction" HAAAA!

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

I never said I thought I was the smartest person in the room. That's your assumption. Although, the way you're acting, I wouldn't deny it. Unlike you, I try not to be abusive to anyone, not matter if they deserve it or not. By the way, you ARE the Hypocrite. YOU get real, if you can even comprehend this message.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

And yet you started out this whole thing with ... "Get a life, man! (Should I put this in simpler terms for you to understand?)" ... Like I said, a hypocrit on a high horse. And no sense of humor either.

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

Whatever, dude. You just keep saying the exact same thing. You aren't worth my time.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

Haha see what I mean about your lack of intelligence, you think that sentence above was already stated, when clearly it wasn't. You're so angry that you can't see straight to read what or understand what I'm saying, all because I made a joke about 1D weeks ago. Haha you're so cute when you're mad :-)

Wow! Can I just say here that making fun of a boy band is not abusive? It's not. There is a difference between poking fun and abuse.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago via iPhone

Correct! Abuse is when you mentally torment somebody in person, you'd think people would be able to differentiate between the two.

Report as

Ashley278: 2 months ago

I didn't understand my last comment at all. I'm not angry at all, by the way. I've already tried ending this conversation three times, don't you think it's childish to keep this argument going?

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

Then why do you keep coming back? Oh right, you answered that already haha

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

BTW, ya gotta love that Freudian slip ... "I didn't understand my last comment .." ^ HA! :-)

Report as

JDBoDean: 2 months ago via iPhone

Yes you would think. People can say some pretty nasty things on here but there is a big difference between words exchanged on a screen by strangers and someone verbally attacking someone in person. On here you always have a choice whether or not to continue. You don't always have that choice in person.
Most everything I've seen you say on here is good natured, not mean spirited. Some people take things way too personally. Some don't recognize the difference between something said in fun or something meant to hurt.

Report as

Tony737: 2 months ago

I agree, and I think it's because kids these days are overly sheltered and pampered.

Report as

shaylen: 2 months ago

@ashley-"and that's your idiotic opinion" do you not see how ironic you're behaving? Abuse is the act of using unkind or cruel worlds to put others down. What you're saying says that you know little about abuse. Band jokes is not abuse towards anyone. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
