ION and The Nerve are magazine, so perhaps you should do some research. You don't even try to make a difference, so enjoy your vacuous nothing existence.

Wait what have you done in the last month?

This thread is getting a little long, so here's a summery for people who don't want to read everything.

Mangle: Here is a poorly informed opinon without any basis in reality.
FNK Member 1: Uh, that doesn't make any sense.
FNK Member 2: (well thought out arguement that raises valid points)
FNK Member 3: (another well thought out arguement
Mangle: Ha ha, you guys are idiots.
FNK Member 1: Uh...
FNK Member 2: But...
Mangle: Did I tell you guys I'm a writer?
Fnk Member 3: You haven't really adressed anything
Mangle: I also write for vice. Ads are bad, I write for Ion too!
Fnk Member 1: That doesn't make any sense
Mangle: I'm right! I'm a writer, Rawb, I don't have a counter arguement, so I had sex with your mom. Ha, shows you!
Fnk Member 1: Er..
Mangle: I make a difference in the world. I write ads for indie bands in glossy fashion magazines! I'm a writer!

Actually Socrates is the one who died in "the apology," Plato is the one who wrote it or "advertised" the story as you could say lol.

Blah blah blah...

karma for decypher for knowing his plato/socrates difference.

so will this thread move from ads to "what is just" now? :p

I just want to say for the record, f*ck Vogue. It makes Cosmo look like the Modern Skeptic.

I'm pretty sure ION, The Nerve, and FNK would run just fine if I wasn't there (they did for years before I showed up, you know), so nothing would change. You have no argument there.

WELL WE CAN ARGUE THIS POINT TO DEATH, BUT IM GOING TO APPEAL TO THE COURT OF POPULAR OPINION ON THIS ONE FOR A SUMMARY JUDGEMENT.

LOOKS LIKE IM RIGHT, SWEET.

This would have been a better argument tactic for you: I mostly write music reviews. Technically, I WRITE ADS FOR ALBUMS.

ITS ONLY AN AD IF YOU'RE GETTING PAID TO SKEW YOUR VIEW OF SOMETHING. I TALKED ABOUT PAID ADS ON PAGE ONE BEFORE YOU STARTED TROLLING.

ANYWAYS, HAVING MYSELF WRITTEN FOR BOTH ION AND THE NERVE I KNOW THAT YOU ARE BARELY GETTING PAID FOR THE ARTICLE YOU'RE WRITING, IF AT ALL. THERE IS NO WAY YOU'RE WRITING ADS, BECAUSE EVEN IF THERE WAS THE SMALLEST CHANCE THAT SOME EXEC IN SOME COMPANY WAS READING YOUR ARTICLES, THEY WOULD PROBABLY LAUGH AT THE THOUGHT THAT YOUR BOUGHT APPROVAL OR DISMISSAL OF ANYTHING CARRIED ANY WEIGHT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

and how the hell should you know?

just because i havent spent 4 pages proclaiming that i am superior because i rip ads out of magazines doesnt mean i willingly submit to vogue when they tell me to buy some gucci or versace.

and just because i take pleasure in berating snooty self-proclaimed modern revolutionaries doesnt mean i disagree with everything they have to say.

if your going to be a writer (and a shitty one) you should learn to take criticism (and blatant insults, for that matter) more lightly.

Just because I say I tear out ads doesn't mean I'm proclaiming I'm superior. I'm just saying that's what I do. You read everything else into my words. That's the beauty of forums, I guess. Don't we all feel the love now.

I KNOW IVE ARGUED MANGLE INTO A CORNER EVERY TIME HE COMES BACK ALL ANGSTY AND PERSONAL, LIKE HE CANT BELIEVE THAT A GUY WHO TALKS IN CAPS IS BETTER AT THIS THAN HIM, THE SELF PROCLAIMED "WRITER".

Bevvy Swift · #93 (**permalink**) Sep 06, 07

if your message isnt clear then you should really work on your writing skills some more and we wouldnt be having this problem

Mangle · #94 (**permalink**) Sep 06, 07

No, my message is fine. You just don't understand it.
There is no god.

Bevvy Swift · #95 (**permalink**) Sep 06, 07

my point is, give up. your not enlightening anyone, this is a rave forum. i come on here to find out when the next rave is, and, when opportunities present themselves, push peoples buttons.

As a writer who actually gets paid and has full time work...

If you are the only one who gets your message. You are in fact a terrible writer.

WATCHING MANGLE TRY TO MAKE A SUBTLE POINT IS LIKE WATCHING A BIRD FLY INTO A WINDOW IN SLOW MOTION
