I think people who only have nice things about audio toys are assholes.
What about people who have openly given bad reviews for products?! I am very confused as to where I stand anymore.

Most Asians will say whatever the hell pops into their head at any moment in front of strangers they've never met without hesitation. I'm not even sure if most Asian languages even have a word for 'tact'.

My mother will talk about her bladder infection in excruciating detail to complete strangers... like the waiter when we're out for a family dinner. When I try to tell her that this is not only embarrassing but also incredibly uncomfortable for the waiter, she does not understand why.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

I had McDonald's this morning because I had a blazing hangover. In retrospect I don't think either idea was a good one, but I don't necessarily regret my decisions.

Ultrabike : ha, that was the first thing I thought about. Extended cut was a very good watch.

This is a generation nothingness thing.  In the past people were not called assholes for speaking out their mind, America has become ultra sensitive, maybe it's too much sand in the vagina, but people did not get offended so easily 20-30 years ago.

I partly agree. Thing is each era and generation has its own conventions and taboos. My father who was born in the 1940s has and had certain opinions that are politically incorrect in current mainstream media. He is an old Catholic. In his younger years you had to put up with all kinds of people and learn to live with different opinions the hard way: face to face.

Now the media tend to blow things up as if Michael Bay personally instructed them. People are more easily offended in the always on-line age. When you are not used to getting direct feedback or criticism it is so easy to be offended. Thing is the fine line between rudeness (including stupidity) and verbal abuse is very personal. Everybody has that remark that can set him or her off.
