How We Could've Changed the Culture But Didn't.

I ususally hate to rain on parades - wait, nevermind, I kind of like it - but it seems like this topic is incredibly redundant.

I mean, its not like people can really do anything at all by making uneducated speculations on FIRST's impact in the world unless they can experience it first hand for every single individual.

Untill one can do that, they will make vague comments on how FIRST changes the culture based on what they personally see and hear. Cool.

Sure, its nice for people to think about these things, I mean to really THINK about it in their spare time. But really the brain power could be used for something much more valuable.

So while we brainstorm a more valuable waste of time I have a question: How many gigabytes of archived posts relating to this topic are on CD? My guess: at least one.

Anyway, yeah word up FIRST is the shiznit and whatever, changed my life, Ill be back next season to mix this boring old forum up.

Steve, or should I call you STeeeeve?
Listen buddy, and listen good, because I'm only going to say this once. I try really hard not to post things like this, but you have genuinely pushed me over my limit.

Whenever you hear a veteran of this program, talking about how "things are changing". They are talking about YOU. Whenever you hear a mentor complaining about too much negativity on ChiefDelphi, they are talking about YOU. Whenever you hear someone say things like "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" they are talking to YOU.

I strongly believe, that we'd all be much better off, if people like you would just shut up, and listen. This forum is filled with a lot of brilliant engineers, and all kinds of people enthusiastic about teaching. Just imagine if for one second, you'd LISTEN to them. Imagine what you could learn! I mean, how old are you? 15, 16? You might think you know everything there is to know... but YOUR FREAKING WRONG! I'll share something with you, that my father taught me from an early age: "You listen with your ears, not with your mouth".

What makes you think WE want YOU to "mix this boring old forum up"? Why would WE want YOU to come in here, and stir up trouble, start pointless debates, and fill this forum with mindless negativity?

Why would you EVER chime into a discussion, to say you think the discussion is pointless?

Ask yourself this...
What happens when you sit down at a job interview one day, and sitting across the table from you is some engineer who's parade you enjoyed raining on?

Who are you to judge the rest of us?
If you don't like the discussions that are going on... STAY OUT OF THEM!

I will not delete this post, or edit it. I will not apologize for my harsh words. I'm sick and tired of seeing things like this go on.
ChiefDelphi IS changing... and if people like Steve here are the future, I'm not sure I like it.

Brandon - do as you will.
