"why do you enjoy posting on the Escapist forums?" Im not sure I post out of joy on this board. I "like" this place for what it could be and not for what it is. I have posted here out of little more than whimsy. I see a lot of intelligent people here but very few wise ones. I see a real...

Thats it? /thread? People can stop running for their keyboards the grammer police have left the thread?

Does it matter? If it wasnt would U stop being a prick about it?

What I find to be real funny about all of this is how language itself tends to develope based more on people misusing words and sentences than anyone who using them correctly. Just look at the history of the word "poor" "Synonym." thanks, you helped a lot I spell phoneticly. /shrug...

no but looking down on others for poor spelling/grammer might be elitist i think they meant patronizing or condescending I think it is fair to say that elitist can be a synonim for this

"I once saw a plane made entirely out of knives that wouldnt make it anywhere near a real plane a great commentary on plane security. in the same room there was also a blank canvas. underneath it said the "artist" only painted in white" Thats it though. I think a point on airplane security...

Funny I was thinking the same thing about you "Art isn't basketball, it's not like watching a slam dunk where we stand in awe wishing we could jump that high." Ahh, but a SKILLED basketball player can make the game into an art. Jordon anyone? I want art that awes me and inspires me...

"Guitar solos are not "who can hit the fret board the fastest" guitarolypmics freak shows" Easy for you to say, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATub40Npxik vs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aeSbPbyJO8 "Painting isn't about "cool pictures".." No, sometimes its about pretending to paint...

An idea itself is not art(as I would call it). Ideas can be represented in art but I think a blurring of the line has occered and been occering for some time to the point that people now seem to think that an idea itself is art. I can fold piece of paper and make a "center fold", just cause...

Clue me in. Whats the point teach?
