This thread was created to help frusterated freepers solve a common dilemma. Are you completely disgusted at the amount of time and keystrokes wasted on frivolous topics, but can't comment on that thread without being called out as part of the thread? You know, the "why the heck did you click on the this thread even though you could see the title, and bother to post a reply, just to say that you didn't care?!" Kinda embarassing afterall, isn't it. Well, here it is, you can do it all here! Tell us here how disgusted you are about genreal chat threads based on: Celebrities, On-line Culture, Sports, TV/Movies, Pop Culture, etc.

I’m not even going to bother to stop by and tell you that I have no time for frivolous vanities such as this.

I’ve never understood the “why did you bother to click?” angle. Why should someone be expected to decide if something is frivolous or worthless without reading it?

It’s about time! A thread of substance! Am I the only one wondering why Rush has a tan line showing above his ankles on Wiliams Shatner’s interview? Please help.

Maybe we should have specific chat threads?

I know one thing: there's too much sax in this thread.

I dunno, I think after about 200 Tiger threads, folks might have a vauge idea of what's being discussed on those threads before they click on them, and once they seen what they're all about, choosing to stick around to post responses is pretty damned funny to me.

Some people will go to great lengths to say "tsk, tsk" to anonymous people. I find that greatly amusing!

I see what you're saying--I was thinking more generally.

I believe the "why did you click" comment is related to the sarcastic "thanks for bumping my thread." I used to see that a lot on econ threads . . . whenever I would, I would wonder, does this person expect me to only click on threads with which I agree? Does this person fear clicking on threads with which he disagrees because they might get "exposure?"

(I'm just navel-gazing).

My sister and me were swimming in a lake around New Orleans when she felt a tug on her leg. We ignored it and kept swimming.

Suddenly a big green hornless moose jumped up and bit her. I immediately stunned with my beeber and all was well.

But it is true that a naked green hornless moose once bit my sister.

This Thread of Digust thread of yours?
 
Needs help.
 
There's only one disgusting picture. That of an ugly Asian chick. Or is it really a dude? Can't tell. Don't care.
 
To be a really good TOD, we need Helen Thomas pictures. And Hillary pics would help too.
 
And cowbell. Could always use more cowbell

The rock throwing fiery religion threads bear no fruit for the Lord.

Just pointless bickering, making Christians look like religious prigs.

And I really don’t give a rip about poor Tiger and his messy bed.

This nation is in bad trouble and the prioritys of it’s people are way out of wack!

Why do I come here?

Because, usually I can sift through and find the news that matters.

It still beats the hell out of tuning in to the MSM.

There, I said it.

Disgust is a primal human and animal emotion. It serves the noble instinct of self-preservation. However, disgust oftentimes gets hi-jacked by the not-so-noble to vent their moral indignation about everything under the sun and more (i.e. places where the sun don’t shine, e.g. bodily parts and areas).

Examples:

‘I am disgusted about global warming! We must take action NOW!’

(...*I want to keep my four SUV’s and want all others to buy a Prius*)

‘I am disgusted about the marital life of Tiger Woods!’

(...*I am much smarter in hiring escorts than this dumbass is*)

‘I am disgusted about the omnipresence of sex in our society!’

(...*must not forget to bring back those porn-DVD’s before the wife gets home*)
