Aaargh!
I wish the 'Fundies' would just shut up already. They do not understand this clever advert, so they call it gay.

This is the crap we deal with everyday and a reason I dislike fundies.

And this crap is exactly to stir people up. Why don't you just give a damn? If you sink to their level, they will beat you in stupidity as they are much better at it.
Man, I thought I knew you better, Pete. Getting heart attack because of an idiot is like punishing yourself for their stupidity! Grab a beer and sit out on the porch to smoke something!

Stupid people who think SketchUp is for making primitive basic shapes! On Yahoo Answers the other day, I saw a guy who asked for help and tutorials for SketchUp and some idiot came in and told him to use Blender instead. He justified his opinion with two links. He said, "this is what SketchUp can do and this is what Blender can do." People like this tick me off.
Is SketchUp better than Blender? Not necessarily.
Is Blender more capable than SketchUp in some areas? Of course!
Is SketchUp only useful if you want to build a building block bridge? NO!!!
So I explained that he was comparing years of work by 100+ experts costing over half a million U.S. dollars to one crappy SketchUp user's hours work for Google Earth.
Then I told the asker about SketchUcation and other good resources.

John,
I stopped debating ignorant fools regarding SU a while ago. I would rather them use Blender, Max, Maya, etc and I'll plod along with SU, I get work done faster and in many comparatives even better, so my results speak for themselves.
-
That's the best thing to do I guess.
This makes me wonder, what is it that makes people think SketchUp is incapable? Is it the name that sounds simple and plain? Is it the fact that it is free/relatively inexpensive? Is it the incredibly easy learning curve often associated with weak software? Is it the fact that it's owned by Google? Very infrequently do I think these people have seen what SketchUp can do and/or used it themselves before coming to this conclusion.

This is hilarious, really made me laugh. I've always thought Yahoo answers was crap.

I opened his link expecting to see a really great render of an awesome model a single person made in Blender.
Sintel, (and all the other Blender made movies) is awesome though. Yahoo Answers is very useful for finding answers to questions. In fact, when I do a Google search for a question I have, I'll often pull up a few Yahoo Answers on the subject. The problem with it is the rating system. I can't post a question without being docked points that I need to get to level 2 to be able to post links in my answers.
Therein lies the problem. That and idiots posting one word responses that are not helpful or even relevant. But I guess you'll have people like that anywhere. -
Someone should interject, hijack the thread and drop this BOMB right in the middle.

I posted that.
Look here. Mine is the second answer. -
Gave you a thumbs up for that, if I remember when voting comes up I'll give you a "best answer" vote too.

Yup, that's Texas for you. The arguement is if you arm ALL the students then they can protect themselves in the case of a person coming to campus with a gun and a deathwish. Imagine the mess, a shooter starts, everyone pulls out their guns, a shooting frenzy, 100 times the casualties and everyone is seen as the shooter when the authorities arrive. They also are talking about guns in church, public buildings, etc.

My thoughts exactly. The reasoning behind this proposition is shortsighted, to say the least. Suppose this passes, what'll you do when it's time for your boys to go to college? I'd not be too keen on sending my son to a university where everyone could be armed. Nor would I like him to carry a gun himself. "Here's your lunch and your Glock. See you tonight!"
Hundreds of kids with guns, packed into a single campus - quite the recipe for disaster.

Well me eldest is going to Westpoint, got that pretty much nailed down, my youngest, well I dunno, maybe send him out of state (above the Mason Dixon).
What scares me even more is binge drinking on campus, now add a gun to that...
