Hank Hill listens to conservative right-wing Christian radio... (Original Post) AbrahamFungusJr Aug 2013 OP
I would venture that any random 15 seconds of that show would be funnier than this. CBGLuthier Aug 2013 #1

waste of time than the 1 minute and 32 seconds of your clip.

What purpose did you want this clip to serve? People usually have a reason for posting video clips. Why don't you tell us the flush is an analogy to what we should do with conservative and religious radio programming. Something, anything, give us a hint. Instead you get snarky with the one response you do get.

It is obviously political satire. lol You just admitted that you understood that, "Why don't you tell us the flush is an analogy to what we should do with conservative and religious radio programming." The only waste of time is your comments.

Too far beneath your pay grade? Have fun up there on your small hill looking down upon us while it lasts.

You probably are the "other poster", but that is neither her nor there. I gently pointed out the "15 second" remark made no sense. You calling me "snarky", but not taking issue with the insulting comment I was responding to is hypocritical. Typing "lame" is not constructive criticism. Furthermore, you contradicted yourself by saying the video had no point, then explaining in the next sentence what the point of the video was. Your comments are silly, and you need to apply yourself and learn to make better contributions to this forum. Thank you, and goodnight.

Do I like arguing on the internet? Is there any other place to do it? This is a discussion forum, we discuss things, if you had stated a purpose for your video we could have discussed it. Because you didn't give us a reason to discuss it, at least two people found your post "lame". What was the context of the clip? What was the focus of the show it was taken from? What about it caused you to see it worthy of posting? Twenty some posts in a year and a half and you post this video, you should tell us why, it obviously has significance for you. See, how hard was that, you probably would have gotten multiple responses, most probably positive.

You think I am the other poster? Please tell me why, I really would like to know. Is it because you can't believe two people don't like what you posted and both thought it a waste of time? You do know that only two people responded to your post and that as of now you have insulted both of them?

If you are insulted by a video you posted being called "lame", you probably shouldn't be on the Internets. I didn't think the "lame" post was insulting so I didn't comment on it. Perhaps people wouldn't think it "lame" if you would inform them why you wish us to view it.

Please point out to me where I said the video had no point. I said you stated no purpose for posting it, which you didn't. As you point out, I obviously knew the point of the video, I just didn't and still don't know the purpose of you posting it. Obviously I am one of the remaining few people on the internet that can't read minds.

Please take your own advice about contributions and I hope you have a good nights sleep.

The poster posted this because they thought it was funny, not because of some complicated reason! Live a little geez! This show is pretty good, my nephew talked me into watching an episode of it and I can't stop.

and it was not funny nor do I think the OP thought it was. As it was posted, it was in fact "lame".

But my point is that if the poster had taken half of the time they spent arguing with me they could have explained their purpose for posting it in the first place. Then we could have had a good discussion about it. This is a discussion forum, posts should give us a reason for discussion.

Seriously? The poster was snarky to the first post responding to them and deserved to be called on it. Why didn't they ask why the poster thought it was lame? Why didn't they explain why they thought it worthy of posting? Why didn't they explain it's significance?

So what question did the poster take time to type?

15 seconds? What does 15 seconds have to do with anything?
You tell me how that promotes discussion? That was what I called it, snark!

but all there was was a vapid sermon from Hagee.

I guess showing Hank Hill sitting on the toilet doing nothing is one way to get Hagee's message out. Did I miss something?
