Half an Ass
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
It seems that everyone does things in a half assed way these
|
|
days. This growing trend is not limited to what I see on the
|
|
bulletin boards in 303, but they do provide a glaring example of
|
|
the trend that seems to be emerging.
|
|
|
|
I will cover three areas I notice this in paticular, all
|
|
come from various BBSs and the postings by the members.
|
|
|
|
Hacking. With the growing number of computer based movies
|
|
or scenes with 'hacking' in them, more and more people want to
|
|
learn how to do it. They have heard that it can be done, and that
|
|
you can get access to all kinds of secret government info blah blah
|
|
blah. So people flock the boards looking for hackers to teach them
|
|
how to do all this neat stuff.
|
|
The first thing they want to do is learn how to hack government
|
|
machines, or make free phone calls. This is the biggest turnoff for
|
|
an experienced hacker. Instead of wanting to learn how the system
|
|
works, how to manipulate it, and how to go unnoticed, they just
|
|
want the end product (info) or side effect (free calls). As soon as you
|
|
tell them to read a few text files and then ask questions, they
|
|
are instantly turned off.
|
|
"No one said anything about learning!" is a common response
|
|
to this. If you want to learn to do anything, you have to read and learn
|
|
all areas, even the boring ones. Knowing everything about a paticular
|
|
system is not always a fun thing to learn or research, but it is very
|
|
helpful in analyzing and defining the whole concept. Nothing is free
|
|
anymore.
|
|
|
|
A common thread or topic of discussion you find is based on
|
|
bands, songs, and styles of music. A few years back I could read a post
|
|
about a new band and make a quick determination if I wanted to purchase
|
|
the CD or at least borrow it to listen to it. The people were well
|
|
informed on various styles of music, well versed on a wide variety
|
|
of music, and had sense not to recommend bizarre music.
|
|
These days you find mostly 14-17 year olds talking about
|
|
their favorite music.. which happens to be one style. You will usually
|
|
find they like just rock, or just punk, or just metal. No diversity
|
|
in their lives as far as music goes. Since there is no real difference
|
|
in what they listen to, they are ill-prepared to make a decision
|
|
on which band is good and which isn't. I know that it is ultimately
|
|
their own opinion, but there is a line at which you can say "that band
|
|
has no talent".
|
|
Bands with no talent are cashing in on a single hit that sounds
|
|
like a current style or follows a current trend. Seeing these kids
|
|
argue over bands that are under a year old makes me cringe.
|
|
|
|
Debates are a common thing found on boards. Many times day to
|
|
day conversation will wind up in a debate about one thing or another
|
|
on top of message bases devoted to debates already. Topics often
|
|
touch on philosophy, religion, sports, music, tv shows, etc.
|
|
The average debate will contain quality replies for usually no more
|
|
than one day. After that you have two kinds of people:
|
|
The flamer. Someone doesn't like your opinion and will make
|
|
sure that you and everyone else knows it. Instead of debating with
|
|
you about it, they will insult you, your parents, your girlfriend,
|
|
or anything else they can think of. Instead of taking it to mail, they
|
|
will make sure everyone reads it.
|
|
The uninformed. The other half of the time you will get someone
|
|
that knows very little about the topic try to jump in and tell you
|
|
what is right and wrong. They base their opinion off no formal education
|
|
on the subject, no reading about the material, and no previous debates.
|
|
Its hard to debate back with people like this because they just don't
|
|
have the ability to grasp that they are being outmatched in intellect.
|
|
|
|
As I said before, this carries over to life off the bulletin
|
|
boards. One of the funnier ones are the people who halfway dress
|
|
up, or the little gangbangers that put the lowrider tires on their
|
|
57 dollar car that has more rust than paint. It is usually pretty
|
|
obvious when someone fits into this category as they don't appear to
|
|
notice people staring.
|
|
|
|
Just look at the big picture.
