what do you really think of people who can have fun just
for searching seashells or going down in an escalator wich
goes up?

You mean simpletons?

Nah, I don't look down on this sort of activity at all. It
doesn't reflect (badly) on your intelligence to be
entertained by simple things and I often enjoy things like
this.

Yes, I was taking the piss, but the next sentence retracted
it and showed I was joking.

a more interesting question is

maximalistic fun: what do you think of people who can't have
fun unless they've made and planned an entire system of fun
before they can start to have fun?

I just appreciate music wich had been made with complex
eletronic structures, based in architechture or rare synths.
I need to listen to it a lot of times until it *grows*. Than
i can show others how i am clever because i can have fun
with music that they cant.

when extremely bored, escalators are quite fun.

I like to stand completely motionless while ride escalators
and imagine myself being some kind of product on a conveyor
belt

the guys who wrote one of the books I had in philosophy a
while back introduced each section with a jack handy quote.
most of the quotes were so stupid and not funny that I had
to find out who he was.. I didn't know you could earn money
just selling quotes...

I can see why people like quotes. People lap up maxims based
on how good they sound and a snappy, succint, but incorrect
saying will catch on far more than a longer, more complex
and true one.

yeah

and the worst thing is that it seems to be used a lot in
proper debate in america.. like that silly spaghetti monster
thing where you say "you may as well believe in a huge
flying spaghetti monster" and then the entire debate is as
invalid as if you liken one of your opponents to hitler
(unless he is indeed a nazi wanting to burn jews and take
over europe, etc etc).

Yes, that's one of the best ones. When someone is defending
adhering to a sensible, reasonable law or regulation (for
example, not drink driving) and the person attacking it
says, "Well, Hitler made a lot of rules. You're saying we
should follow all those too."

My personal opinion is that the person making the Hitler
comparison heard/saw it being used in a more accurate manner
(for example, when someone is suggesting you should blindly
follow orders/protocol, even if it is unjust to do so) and
they just copy it and due to a lack of intelligence, apply
it somewhere where it's completely irrelevant.

People saying "Oh Please" (usually adding an
irritating-as-fuck roll of the eyes) in response to an
argument that has any shred of rationale or logic to it (but
often at least as the other party's argument), as though the
other person is a retard suggesting a completely impossible
solution is also a pet hate of mine. I've never seen it done
by someone who was actually making a good point themselves,
either. It seems like a "rhetoric for dummies" way of
winning a debate against people who lack
confidence/conviction to me.
