They did it for no reason

My complaint: The fucking fools in the various dA forums, who blindly believe in anything posted in an OP.

Especially this: The person we're meant to hate according to whatever OP "did it for no reason!"

Seriously, people?
How often do people really do things for no reason? Bad reasons, sure. Not-thought-out-reasons? Abso-fucking-lutely!
No reason at all? Not so much.

And yet, every time I see some idiot posting a clearly biased and one-sided description of events, a bunch of equally idiotic individuals lap it up. :stare:

From very early on, I was always taught to think about possible motivators for a source. Don't they teach that any more?
Or do they teach it, and all those uncritical fools just can't comprehend it?

<idiots>Oh lol, it's on the internet, so it must be true!
Some guy wrote it, look! Trooofs!</idiots>

Then we'd become a bunch of skeptics who believe nothing! but usually I just take in the information that's given to me, if it's believable. I'm aware there's more than one way of viewing the situation but the other view isn't here, so we judge by the information we're given.

Again, you are one of those people who seem to think they must judge.
Can't you ever just not take a stance? Can't you just say "I don't know, and I probably never will"? Must you take a side?

Well, perhaps I'd be more understanding of your point of view if I knew the exact threads you're referring to.

Really? You need to read several threads to understand why blindly believing in a statement is bad?

I can't be bothered to look. I can live with you not getting it.

I wonder how many of the real reasons for those things are boredom. It's a reason for a lot of the things I do. That and habit. The habit of boredom.

I do lots of shit for no reason...but I usually say that science is the reason.

I've nearly burned my house down for science once. I was trying to make fudge and it exploded. My parents didn't know whether to be pissed or impressed. :la:

And on Tuesday I accidentally set part of my science experiment on fire. My lab partner and I had to work with a piece of foil with tape on it to see what would happen when heat was applied. We accidentally put too much heat and then FIREBALL.

I also nearly electrocuted myself when I was younger. For science.

:icontealdeerplz::iconsaysplz:Keep me the fuck away from science.
