 Level: 5 CS Original | Is being irascible part of the normal progression from CT'er to non CT'er to skeptic? I find myself getting angrier and angrier at stupidity, will this eventually subside? I heard someone say Al Gore invented global warming and I flipped out on them. | |||||

 There ARE more sluts in public schools. Shut up and let me explain. Level: 8 CS Original | No, it won't subside, but you will become less passionate I think. | |||||

 Ordo Ab Chao. Level: 8 CS Original | Nope. I figured out what it is that pisses me off after all these years.. irrationality. In most cases it makes me want to punt a kitten through a plate glass window. | |||||

Level: 5 CS Original | What it comes down to for me is that I wish that people believed what they believed for a good reason. Not because of appeals to emotion, faith, or just trying to "go against the norm." It's not just a matter of being able to prove your case or disprove it. It's because your beliefs inform your actions. | |||||

Genuine American Monster Level: 70 CS Original | The people on the fence about conspiracies often annoy me more than conspiracy theorists themselves. Being on the fence about conspiracy theories just means you've never tried to affirm or refute what you really believe. | |||||

Level: 5 CS Original | If they don't want to listen to you, then chances are they aren't on the fence. They are closet conspiracy theorists who just claim to be on the fence because they don't want to be made fun of. | |||||

 Level: 9 CS Original | I was wondering this myself. It rarely bothers me irl... though I'm not sure how I would react if I saw someone with an iRenew bracelet. However, online it makes me rage to no end. HOW TO MAKE STOP | |||||

 Paid Disinformation Blogger Level: 14 CS Original | The angrier you get at CT's, the more irascible you will become. Just this week I had a moonbat complain I was a "hostile fucker" because I denied that the North American Union is real. These people are not rational. If you challenge their lunacy they WILL go berserk. How can we be expected to treat these people with patience when they have none of it themselves? | |||||
