Actually, the commotion was unintentional, but somewhat amusing.trial_07 said:Why all that commotion FruDaddy? If you had money to afford a motor home and the big pickup truck with the spare bikes, wouldn't you do it?
Hey, weren't you involved in a similar assault not too long ago?
FYI, you'll spend as much time fueling that as the International ;) Worse then the HummersI am considering one of the Hemi Ram 1500's
Yet another simple statement blown up.truespode said:He's a child... you are supposedly an intelligent adult but hey if you can identify more with him than the older members of this board then so be it.

Not sure that your stuff is really relevant here, but maybe your dad should ease up a bit and enjoy life more while he is young. All that work will make him old before his time.mxrider76 said:My parents bought me my first car a turbo diesel vw jetta 1999. Does this make me rich and spoiled? I hope not because I dont have all new nice stuff. yes my dad has a lot of nice toys and such but it is not for showing off! ya Frudaddy maybe you could understand my dad works 50-60 hours a week to have a new nice diesel truck and 35ft toyhauler. But remember to that working a lot of hours dosent leave time for much fun....
It gets 25% better mileage than my current truck. I don't know if you are aware, but it has the variable displacement system that shuts down half of the engine once you reach cruising speed. Also, the insurance on an 07 quad cab is cheaper than my 2000. Both have 26 gallon tanks, but the 07 can be had with larger.bsmith said:FYI, you'll spend as much time fueling that as the International ;) Worse then the Hummers
FruDaddy said:I would assume that you are now claiming that mentally I am just a child.
I do, however feel that many of you need to understand what intelligence is.
Now I ask you, if you have daughters (otherwise pretend that you do), to imagine her bringing home a new boyfriend. Now which would you prefer, a clean shaven boy, with short neat hair, a collared shirt, and khakis; or a boy wearing torn jeans, a t-shirt bearing the logo from a heavy metal band, and earrings, having long hair and a 3 day beard. I would likely prefer the former even though I am fully aware that neither is any worse than the other. Of course, choosing either one, based solely on the information that I have provided is exactly the same thing that I have been found guilty of here. Forming an opinion of someone based solely on physical observation, and without adequate background information on the subject.

Actually, I never said that, you put it in yourself. Enjoy your class.truespode said:Fine. You said you think anyone who uses their money to buy something expensive is showing off.
Did you happen to notice the word maybe there? It was included for a reason.truespode said:So... you are able to tell from that one post that his father is working too hard at something he doesn't enjoy and going to be old before his time?
Carnac is on DRN... great :laugh:

FruDaddy said:Actually, I never said that, you put it in yourself.
it is a vulgar display of wealth. A glorious way of saying, "I have more money than you".
from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/
Phrasal Verbs:
show off
To display or behave in an ostentatious or conspicuous way.
That wasn't a cut and paste, I actually picked up a dictionary, looked up the word, and typed it all in myself. If it were a cut and paste, I would have included the rest of it.truespode said:If it is not liking people in general and being able to cut and paste from Webster's website then I think I'm too stupid to get it.
So you think that you have interacted with me enough to judge me based on this one brief discussion? Sorry, even this is not enough for me to pretend that I really know who you are. But I can form an opinion.If you knew me you would know I wouldn't have judged anyone until interacting with them.
Wrong again, this all came by accident, because you, among others, took exception to something that I said. Perhaps you were looking for a debate so that you might feel superior, and I hope you do, for I do not believe that your morals are as high as you think they are, (or you want others to think they are). As I said before, I know who I am.I think you are just trolling for your 15 minutes like all the McGarry's, Mallards, Bruhn's, Rat's and all that came before you.
Maybe when your headache subsides, you will see that you are not so different from me. Because you think that you disagree, does not make it nonsense, but there is a deeper explanation that I will not dive into, as I said, I am no longer attemting to explain my opinion.You got it. You got me to respond on a day when I'm extremely bored, have a crazy headache and wanted the entertainment of watching you continually post nonsense.
I bet you do, and I hope you have enjoyed this discussion as much as I have.I played along... it's getting late and I have class to go to so unfortunately I won't see your next response until tomorrow and by then I will have forgotten about this thread and probably won't click on it.
Was there really more than 1, I only recall posting the single opinion regarding the huge motorhome and the tiny little bike. Everything else was part of that opinion, and it wasn't really about wealth. It was more about the apparent need for a person to feel elite. I will concur that it was judgemental. It was also a little unfair, but so is the rest of life. I'm not sure about ridiculous though, that's a subjective thing, and since you seem to have really missed the original point (not about wealth), I have my doubts as to whether or not you are qualified to make that statement.I do think the opinions you have posted about wealth is judgmental, unfair and ridiculous.
We clearly agree hereBut you are allowed to continue to have them since the worst thing it is going to do is put more ASCII on DRN.
In my experience, those who extoll the virtues their intelligence aren't near as intelligent as they say they are.FruDaddy said:I am jealous of no one, because I know that I am more intelligent than most.

I noticed on your website that you list d29, will you be racing at JMP on the 25th?

I agree, perhaps I should not have mentioned intellect, but I did, and it's done.XRpredator said:In my experience, those who extoll the virtues their intelligence aren't near as intelligent as they say they are.
But that on is a little too cliche.But maybe that's just me. I've also always found that it's better to have people think you are a fool rather than say something and remove all doubt.
and a very funny movie that was. I am currently planning my datinbase where I will keep photos, tag numbers, and other pertinent information on any horny little punk that makes it through the interview.and, as far as the daughter dating goes, I pity the fool who tries to date mine, whether he's got the khakis or the death metal t-shirt. I just plan on telling him "you see that little girl there? She's my whole world. I just got out of prison, and I'm not afraid to go back."

frudaddy's posts are filled with prejudice and it's obvious he's a troll. obviously he hasn't figured himself out yet, jealousy has got the best of him, and it's saddening actually.

lol! I've got a 68 on jackstands that I'm building only for performance purposes. Who in the hell am I trying to impress? What...go cruisin' for chicks @ age 40 in my lumpity-lump, fuel-smelling, no-AC, no radio, no heater car? My dream started at age 12, when my Uncle Jim took me out in his 69 and pegged 160mph (with open headers and flames soaking through the floor).Very few Corvette owners buy the cars for the performance value.
Thank you for your kind words, and you are correct to not take sides. This has been a long dicsussion based on a somewhat misinterpreted statement. I say somewhat, because it was really just blown way out of proportion, and I allowed that. Ivan isn't the only one that was a little bored. I have actually had a lot of fun here today.trial_07 said:Things happen between 17 and 15 years old elliot :cool: Nevertheless you're not a child.
I forged my opinion on FruDaddy way before this thread. Did you ever notice since you're on DRN how his replies are clear, complete, and helpful? He has helped me and others on many occasions. This tells me he probably is kind, devoted, perfectionist, and generous of his time. You probably know as well as I do that what is said is sometimes interpreted wrong. I am not for FruDaddy or Ivan, I just think this is a way too big fight for a simple post.
yes, society WILL break you. You WILL NOT break society. No matter how strong your delusions, you WILL be corrected
Oh boy, here we go again. But I'll try try to not dwell too long here. The Frumonkey, my son, likes the Mustang. Since he is currently napping, I choose to not wake him and ask, but he does enjoy speed, and likes a good hard turn. I also seem to recall that he likes the external styling of the vehicle. I just hope he changes his mind as he gets older, I'm not a Ford man.nephron said:lol, on your homepage, 'FruMonkey' lists an 05 Mustang as their favorite car. Are you sure that you can be certain of their intentions? Is this a gross expression of wealth jealousy, or do they (at age 9 or so) happen to prefer the powertrain, handling, etc. of this model over all others?;)
I am not trying to convince anybody of anything, I have even said that I am not so different. I am doing exactly the same thing as Ivan at this point, feeding you like he was feeding me. In reality, had nobody attacked my opinion, which originally was harmless, I would have had nothing to explain, and had Ivan not dangled the string, I wouldn't have grabbed hold and taken the ride.As Ivan said, FruDaddy, you are attempting (exceedingly) to convince everybody that you're different than everyone else, and are therefore a common 'troll' type on internet forums.
If that were true, you (and everybody else) would have let it go. Instead, you chose to chime in.Listen....nobody fxxking cares.
I believe that you are the exception, especially if we look back to the age of your Vette. While I would expect to find a '68 in a garage, i would also expect to find a cover on it. The beauty of vehicle that old, tend to be visible only on sunny spring or autumn days. Good for you that you plan to actually drive it.Generalizations are bound to be wrong, but this one takes the cake, chief: lol! I've got a 68 on jackstands that I'm building only for performance purposes. Who in the hell am I trying to impress? What...go cruisin' for chicks @ age 40 in my lumpity-lump, fuel-smelling, no-AC, no radio, no heater car? My dream started at age 12, when my Uncle Jim took me out in his 69 and pegged 160mph (with open headers and flames soaking through the floor).
Actually, I am far older than you may think. I'll go with 30 something, it's close enough. Society will only break the weak minded, has it broken you? But I do realize that society cannot be changed by one, and this topic isn't its biggest problem. I hope you got a psychology degree to go with the medical, otherwise your attemp to diagnose my mental state should be abandoned. Besides, you would have to spend a lot more time with me to even begin. So, is the pathology coming from all of my words, or just the ones in this thread? Oh, and what did I claim to be an expert on? I only stated an opinion. I didn't even try to back it up with fact, thus keeping it as an opinion, and an opinion cannot be right or wrong. And I didn't say that I avoid people, I said that I don't like people very much, there is a difference. So you'll be better able to diagnose that statement, I speak of people as a whole (the society that you speak of) and not the individuals in it. Good to see all of your time in college has paid off. You have clearly stepped out of your comfort zone on this one, you should just leave the psychology to my shrink.You're either fairly young and simply have a lot to learn (yes, society WILL break you. You WILL NOT break society. No matter how strong your delusions, you WILL be corrected), or ....delusions, concrete language, negative obsessive thought, people avoidance (do you work as a guard on the night shift somewhere?)....all adds up to Chronic Paranoid Schizophrenia. Maybe an early bipolar. Since I don't know your age, it's hard to tell. But be sure that there is a lot of pathology in your words, whether your expert ass chooses to believe it or not. You're just WRONG.
