How many jerks actually on here?

Actually there are only 2 or 3, they just get around a lot.

Actually, that depends upon who is considered one by other "jerks" - there could be dozens if the criteria is subjectively-random, (or simply based upon biased 'opinion').
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

i just now happened to read what everyone has been saying on here, and it all sounds like a waste of time and a dumb conversation starter.  but i figured i would give my opinion real quick as it seem like everyone else is.  there are a few jerks on here.  i have across them personally.  but for the most part, everyone on here is really helpful and nice.  just ignore the jerks, for one thing.  they want the attention and they want everyone to get their panties all in a wad.  that's probably what they live for.  ignore them and have real conversation with a decent human being.  the jerks will have what's coming to them, eventually.  just tell them that they are  :bs: and keep it moving.  don't waste your time on idiots!!

It is true that most people that are miserable are not satisfied unless everyone else around them is equally miserable. Keeping out of the fray and ignoring them is really the only way to deal with them if you keep feeding the fire they will keep stirring the pot.

That's a somewhat sanctimonious and "jerky" opinion.

Everyone has a right to an opinion.  You do not have  to read it if you don't want, you choose to read it.  There is an ignore feature button on here and it works wonders.  Why argue with people.  It is total waste of time, energy and ink, lol.

Some people like to "push buttons" because they need to get a reaction out of others so they won't get bored.

I believe the trick is to refuse to be offended, even if someone is intentionally trying to offend you.

I also agree with ajami.  Everyone is entitled to their point of view whether we like it or not.
Have a great day!

System is called the ignore button.  Everyone knows that an anonymous platform for people to speak on (or in this case type on) turns them into a raging Tasmanian devil. Never the less, no matter how upsetting someone is, you can't tell people what to do.  This is FC operated site, and we're all guests here.  You can't control what other people do, it's part of being an adult.  Just ignore them if they're annoying. =-P

"sanctimonious" There's one that's rarely used. Did you have to read the dictionary a lot as a child falcon? hehe

Who gets to decide who is a jerk and who just has an opinion different from your own? Big Brother? Racial slurs, profanity, and personal attacks should not be allowed, but we do have freedom of speech in America.

While I don't dispute first amendment rights, bear in mind that you have none on a privately operated forum like this one.
