    Default Am I Stupid

    Back in February of 2008, I had concert tickets for two events (one in Baltimore and one in DC). The shows were Linkin Park and Daughtry/Bon Jovi. I spent $60 for floor seats to Linkin Park and $150 for second level seats to Daughtry/Bon Jovi. I was currently living in Northern Virginia at the time but a week before the concerts I moved to NYC. I never attended both shows due to cannot afford a hotel room in both cities and parking. Was I stupid to miss both shows? Please tell me. I have never been to a concert before and the only ones now I am interested in is Nickleback and Billy Joel. Sorry to sound whinny but I am new here so please give me my virtual sympathy or attacks, thank you.

    I dunno, but I live in the DC metro area so if you're 18 or older and not an Internet fatty I'll let you crash at my place for secs.

    also i think you were more stupid for blowing $210 for nothing, if i'm reading your story correctly.

    Seriously, not the best way to invite a new guy onto the grounds. This guy's a high school friend of mine whose had it tough for a good six months now. Take it easy on him.

    Edit: Linkin Park is still pretty decent. Daughtry and Bon Jovi, not so much. Not a big fan of them, but that doesn't mean this is troll territory.

    Linkin Park was never "pretty decent."

    Wait wait wait, you come to the internet and ask if you're stupid.

    And then expect a serious answer.

    So then I guess, yes, you are stupid.

    Just because this person knows you and is going through a rough spot in life does not mean he's going to be unconditionally accepted here. He first needs to prove he's not a complete idiot, which by judging his first post/thread, he's doing a really shitty job of.

    i pride myself on thinking that linkin park was pretty banal and bland even when i was 14. and no, they were never creative.

    Look I know this is tough of me to say, but he's in a tough time now (in the hospital), and he posted this up on another message board of his, so he decided to post it here and get some comments. Had I known that the first few posts would involve a gay invite (no offense sycld), a trolling comment (seriously, he's just testing the water here, doesn't mean you've gotten dirty it here for him), and a bit of verbal abuse, I would've steered him clear of CD. I've been a member of CD / LWS for close to four years, and I've seen this go down before, to genuine spammers, one of which he is not. I ask of you guys, just give him a chance and be nice, these are not the guys I remember from times past.

    Also, coqauvin, thanks for somewhat complimenting LP. Not always great music, but definitely creative.

    I thought that inviting someone over to stay at your place and offering secs was pretty nice. This is one of the warmer welcomes that I've seen here.

    Also, to the op, you didn't miss anything by not attending these shows. I would advise that you also skip Nickleback, and go see Billy Joel. How stupid you are will likely be debated if you continue posting here, so you might as well get used to it now. It's the only way we know.

    as mr. wolford said, it was one of the warmer introductions to the forum.

    ^^ I understand he's your buddy, but if you've been a member here for 4 years and you didn't warn him about this then it's your fault. It's the internet. He's either gonna have to toughen up or he won't last very long anyways. Besides, looking at that post, I don't really see what you expected here. Of course spending 210 bucks on concert tickets and then not going to said concerts is stupid.

    Thanks for the backup wolf. I'm sure he's glad to an extent said services were offered. :P

    Definitely a warm intro. The secs part, not so much, but I know you as the resident gay guy, and I approve. Poor memory maybe, but then again, I've been more of a sidelines poster than full blown, and I only chime in when I see fit. here also a lot of stuff that goes down in Flames I know nothing about.

    I sorta warned him, just not very well. I haven't seen many new people show up to CD (with returning members being the exception), so I didn't know what to expect when a new guy showed up. Missing the concerts like he did may have not of been the best choice, but he was just trying to share his thoughts.

    It really does come down to how he is welcomed here. He'll probably show up tomorrow due to limited access, bu until then, I hope for the best.

    Also he the way the post was written was steering the thread down the direction of trolling him, so I wouldn't be too surprised that happened. He should've gone to the concerts anyways, wasting money like that is a terrible thing.

    Welcome to Casual Discourse! It was a stupid decision to purchase tickets to concerts you could not attend because you moved, but it sounds like your move was unplanned and well, that sucks. Hope you have lots of fun at your first concert.

    It's funny to an extent, but I was thinking of a better opener then that. However, I couldn't think of anything but this after he posted it:



    No offense to the OP. I have to remember how much shit is thrown around here and taken lightly. I gotta spend more time in Flames instead of Tech Today.

    I know this an online forum and all, but does that mean you can throw out the English language? I mean you punctuated everything wonderfully, considering the poor English, but still that was dreadful, dreadful stuff.

    Yes, I am aware I have suddenly turned into Grammar-Hitler

    But anyway,

    Here's what your answer should have been.

    "Do I still have friends down there? Who could I have stayed with?"

    Unless, of course, you had no friends.

    Yes, yes you are stupid.

    First, you are stupid for paying to see a Lincoln Park concert in the first place.
    Second, you are stupid for not going to the Bon Jovi concert.

    Also, Nick 2.1 is completely correct. This is not a pussyfoot community, and that is pretty clear.

    Also, I just caught the part that said Lincoln Park was creative. I had a good laugh about that.

    Also, I just caught the part about Nickelback and good god man.

    Go to see Billy Joel. He is the only thing that can save you now.

Of course spending 210 bucks on concert tickets and then not going to said concerts is stupid.
    Haha toughen up for the internet. There should be internet bootcamp, you are exposed to a constant stream of racial slurs, insults and other generally derogatory things for longer and longer time periods until your expression doesn't change when you hear them.

    Go to see Billy Joel. He is the only thing that can save you now.
    Their dj isn't bad. He also pretty much makes that group, because nobody else in it has any talent whatsoever.

    Also, yes, go see Billy Joel.

    Also, Nick 2.1 is completely correct. This is not a pussyfoot community, and that is pretty clear.

    Also, I just caught the part that said Lincoln Park was creative. I had a good laugh about that.

    Also, I just caught the part about Nickelback and good god man.

    ok 8 years ago when i was angsty in high school and all my music experience was a combination of soft classic rock and easy listening, they were very creative and edgy

    but i mean things change you know
