The Economist

I just browsed through the magazine section at Borders and I picked up the new edition of The Economist. I love picking out the odd article in The Economist and reading it from time to time, because the views in some articles are just...stunning.

I detest this magazine more than I detest the ''women's'' magazines filled with useless advice on how to lose weight while getting a promotion at job, keeping your mom and friends happy, while getting those fabulous abs while giving a blow job.

The Economist is filled with generic and simplistic views on today's world, filled with ignorant as well as (in this issue) sexist comments and articles, which are doing nothing but enforcing a stupid stereotypes, with the lack of objectivity and substance, through brainless rants which are supposed to sound intelligent!

Does anyone read or has read The Economist?

Do you agree or disagree?

Oh, boy! I'm with you on this. Again.

Did you read the article regarding Blair's supposed influence on Bush by one of Bush's advisors?

"He's not a poodle! He has a voice!"

It seems people that hate that magazine are their target group. That's a pretty sweet concept actually, since it is so much easier to piss people than to convince them into actually liking what they read. Anyways, good job you two, you are the reason this magazine (I have never even heard of) exists. Give yourself a round of applause.

So, what was that part about blowjobs again?

Thats why your post is bullshit.

Because you have never seen, read, nor do you know what The Economist is supposed to do.

You don't know the theme, you don't know who writes it, and you don't know what they write, yet somehow you formed opinion about it.

Well, I like to call it a joke, but I guess Bullshit is a pretty much equal label indeed.

Bardock, you naughty boy! I don't buy the magazine, but I do occasionally read it. Anyway, if I only ever read articles that I agree with, I wouldn't be a very informed person, would I?

(I am, by the way. I am informed.)

Heres the cheap way to do it.

Well I have to believe you since you said it, right? Right?

Also, reading a magazine you didn't buy is evil. You might not understand it, but it's basically the same as going to a store, take a butterfinger and hide it in your pocket...then raping the hot shop clerk and killing everyone that ever visited the store (except yourself, of course) after making fun of a handicapped person.

Anyways, I'm not informed (and generally ignorant), so what is this Economist thingy about? Also, it has quite the great name, it should be good...not bad...but good.

[edit]Thank you there, lil.

Yeah. Yeah, I think that's how it works. Also, I said it once rhetorically and twice explicitly, so I think you're, like, really supposed to believe me. Or something...

So, that's bad how? The thing about it being the same?

Good points, good points.

Anyways, are you two the only ones that actually read it? And are we three the only ones that actually want to talk about it (when I say actually I mean "not actually at all"😉?
Their Webpage sucks..I want someone to explain to me what it is.

I'll comment on this after I go do some irony...I mean ironing.

*Tsssssh, steam*.

Back, yeah The Economist, not all that.

Haha, I get it, because that is a brainless rant which is supposed to sound intelligent itself, while condemning just those..haha, that's funny. Dude, you are mean.

It's not even that I disagree with her, I see no point in sitting around discussing reading material I hate or dislike.

I just found the whole "So I was sitting in Borders (The book shop, reading, you know) and I picked up the new edition of The Economist (sips tea). I hate it when people try to sound intelligent." thing to be funny.

You know, at first I thought you were quite intelligent, but you show signs of arrogance and stupidity. I don't think I can take you seriously anymore. 😬

Hahaha.

You're feigning only getting the joke on a deconstructed level, thereby stripping the original humour and hijacking it for evil purposes.

Why don't you go do some more ''ironing''...for you apperantly.

Here comes the person who argues about things he hates on daily bases.

And here some more irony - you came to this thread not to contribute anything to the argument but to make a point of how you think the argument itself is stupid.

Yeah, go back to 'ironing'...

I don't only 'sound' intelligent, I am intelligent - and I have people skills too - in real life or otherwise.
Something you greatly lack.

i see where this is going

*AC gropes milla*
