So? Does that offend you? Really man....let the anger go. It really isn't that big a deal. Peace, love, happiness. I'm getting really down about all the negativity around here lately.

we got commercials to show those plights on the TV about 10 times a day here, I don't think the world cup will show case that anymore than unicef.

No it doesn't offend me, I'm just laughing at you taking the time to call people petty in a thread that is all about pettiness. This is a thread about bitching about those fucking things, you want peace love and happiness start a care bears thread.
 
Did you ask everybody? I'd be willing to bet my harvests for a year that more people would be having a much better time without the things.

I'd also be willing to bet that most people who say the love the things are watching the games and aren't fans, just casual lookers.

First you ask if someone has asked everybody whether or not something is the case
and then you go on to say most people - are you going to put up the proof you demand so readily from others?

Thought not - hmmmm....

Rubbish, perfectly reasonable to complain about an incredibly irritating droning noise that destroys your enjoyment of the football.

The BBC has had over 500 complaints and are going to try to process the audio so the vuvuzela noise is not so prominent.

I had to watch Brazil vs Korea with the sound turned off today, I lasted about 10 mins before the droning noise got too much.

Why rubbish if the BBC can filter it out the Vuvuzela sound.The only sound i'm missing are the drums.:D

Who was complaining about the sound:

Basil Fawlty

.let the anger go.

When you get tired of using the typical anger cliches go check out research that shows people bitching about things actually relieves stress. I mean it's not as fun as "anger is negative energy" or "Anger is the enemy" or any of that other stuff we here people say left and right on pot boards, but it's actually true.

Uh oh...I never called anyone petty. I meant exactly what I wrote, don't change my words. Please and thank you. You can complain but you seem to be angry and I don't understand that. You go too far, the thread won't last. I'm trying to prevent that, as many people are participating in this thread. All opinions are welcome, but constant, un needed negativity won't be tolerated. It's been a weird couple of days and I think everyone could use some nice ness and positivity. No need to dwell on things you cannot change.

I seem angry to you? Here's my advice, don't assign feelings to people, makes you look silly.

This is a joke thread, and besides the one guy who threw some racism in there everybody is getting along besides you who seems to be talking about negativity where honestly I don't see it, just relax, if you don't like the thread don't read it, and seriously, if you want to avoid negativity ask yourself if you think calling people you don't know angry is something positive. Don't egg people on, don't ask them if they got a problem if you are about positive energy as you put it.

Edit: you mentioned you got reddies, is that the negativity you're talking about?

But, just as I wouldn't take it so lightly to someone tellng ME how to NOT celebrate in my own stadium, I'm sure the S.A.'s could give a rat's ass as well...:wave:

Well you're doing so well reading me from across the globe how about getting in touch with my dead grandfather, ask him where he left the money.

I'm not alone in my observations, if you read other posts, as well.

Seriously, relax. They annoy you. We get it. Are you going to bitch for the entire tournament? Cause it's old already.

No man, that was a guess, thought it was pretty obvious because I said, "I'd bet more people would have more fun without them." Kind of like saying "I bet if everybody wore red socks today the world would be a little happier."

Again, you'd need to prove your bet was right - or do you expect someone else to do that for you?

I bet I'd be happier if you wore red socks on your hands to stop you from typing utter rubbish

Planning on it, will that cause you any trouble?

Sometimes when my kids are in the back of the car I hear them fighting and think I have to break them up till I notice they are just horsing around. If you have kids you know what I'm talking about. This is just a joke thread, if you don't like it, if you get tons of complaints, if it disrupts the unity of ICMAG or whatever I'm sure the mods are going to close it down.

For the most part I don't see any flame wars going on and it seems to me that most people taking part in this thread besides you are doing so because they want to so I'm not really sure what the problem is. are you telling us we can't talk about Vuvuzelas, they are that controversial?
