I feel sorry for dimwits that believe in astrology.

[Ashes]

sad to waste so much time on something so ignorant.

1. Get a life

2. Although I'm not a fan of astrology, that's a pretty ignorant statement

I think it's pretty rude to just classify a group of people, including many people here at the DU, as dimwits.


Personally I'd like to think people of DU are above insulting other members of DU!

3. INCOMING!

5. Astronomy evolved from astrology

Astrology was an early attempt to explain the universe.
It eventually evolved into astronomy, but as we know, people kept astrology alive for whatever reason.

This sounds familiar...

6. Is this still HERE?

The mods are blearily drinking their coffee, like, "Isn't it a little early for this shit to be starting?"

7. and I feel sorry

for people who feel compelled to announce their feelings of contempt for others angaging in harmless behaviour.

note: I have no real opinion on the veracity of astrology as a science, but I take offense at anyone who publicaly insults a group of people engaging in their own faith, or entertainment, whatever.

8. I feel sorrier for people who are hooked on soap operas

Reading your horoscope takes only a minute or two. Some people spend hours a day watching soaps on TV.

10. Hey watch it! I am a Soap Opera fan here

I have Monday's off and I usually watch CBS soaps while I clean my house.

9. I feel sorry for dimwits

who believe that they know everything.

11. Certainly the leading candidate...

For the most useless and inflammatory thread of the month, and perhaps the year. :eyes:

14. Nah he's in the running with the "Christians are stupid" guy

who said all we Christians believe in is crap.

[CBGLuthier]

12. I feel sorry

for people who spend too much time worrying about what other people believe.

And personally I don't believe in astrology either, but it doesn't matter to me what other people do.

[Misinformed01]

13. I feel much sorrier

for dumbasses that are so narrow minded and shallow that they can't at the very least respect other's beliefs.

Leave the astrologers alone; if you don't care for it, then don't read their threads.

17. I feel sorry for people who

feel the need to denigrate adherents of one superstition, while ignoring all the others (Xtianity, etc.)

I don't believe in any of them, but I don't come on with posts ridiculing them. What purpose does it serve? If it gives people some comfort or entertainment in this crappy world, why bash it.

I only bash the religious when they start pushing their nonsense on me, and I've never had an astrologist knocking at my door, or seen astrology fundamentalists trying to revise schoolbooks to reflect their theology.

[Skinner]

18. I'm locking this thread.

It is just flame bait. I think we are all capable of discussing Astrology without resorting to this type of broad-brush smear.

19. I feel sorry for tiny-minded people

for whom a gerbil would be Einstein.

Interesting that you're so preoccupied with the harmless activities of other people.
