Your severely misunderstanding me. I'm a footbagger myself, this has nothing to do with footbaggers as a group of people, in fact the definitive quality about footbaggers is that we are a diverse group coming from different cultural, religious, ethnic and financial backgrounds.hackeysnacker wrote:...when i read this it pissed me off that this guy, darbslim, actually thinks people on here are that ignorant and desperate simply because they're footbaggers(?)!.
You can't classify 'footbaggers' as a certain type of people...if I thought footbaggers were ignorant and desperate than I'd have to be a pretty naive person.
If you're here for a flame fest, I'm not going to respect your opinion. If you want to seriously debate this and try to understand where I'm coming from, I'll gladly converse with you a respectable mannor.hackeysnacker wrote: It is rather offensive to see this guy try and take advantage of anyone's time, especially fellow footbaggers. It would be pretty shitty to be on the bottom of this "money making oppurtunity" sitting on one's computer ALL day, and end up making next to squat.
As far as 'sitting on one's computer ALL day' and 'making next to squat' - that is the exact contrast of what this business opportunity involves.
You spend 6 minutes per day and make 144% of your money. Like I said, if you want to have a serious discussion and leave the pointless flaming out of it, I will talk to you like a human being - I only request you do the same for me.
mattkain here's my weigh in on the linguistic debate
I think Jeremy was basically saying the same thing you are saying, but you elaborately expanded on it.
I think him saying 'The bus system here is retarded' is exactly like you saying "The pullback image's acquisition rate is slower than usual due to a retardation of the catheter"
In both examples you are describing something as being slow.
Also, you're trying to debate that the word slow is not an insult but all of your examples of 'slow' are being used in a positive connotation with complementory adjectives. I think that is called the Fallacy of Equivocation - but don't quote me on that =P
'slow' is in fact a very hurtful insult! When I was a child, I always took my time with everthing, and my siblings and my mom would call me slow! They nicknamed me 'slowpoke' - To this day I hate when they bring that up! I was thorough, not slow =P And to this day I don't just freak out over things, I'm easy going - but other more urgent people think it's being slow. I say take a chill pill!
So it's just from your perspective, and obviously - like you said - from the context of how you use the word slow.
