Pali Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 "Lots of people have died. CRAZY lots, lots more than are alive now. Who were they? Mass murderers look at this as justification." That's all I got out of that VERY rambling essay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyzarius Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 A horribly conveyed "essay" (quotes because I wouldnt call this an essay). The flow is random, the ideas jumbled and mis matched. This was like reading my 12 year olds 7th grade assignment, though he tends to write more fluently. Sorry, but its just not well written at all.

Imoutgoodbye Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Anyone doing a biographical check on who Annie Dillard is? I'm telling you, there's more to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Writer, professor, poet, Pulitzer-winner... Still capable of incoherent rambling. If you think there was something important in there that I'm just missing, please, elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0xx Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I am still mad at you for wasting 15 minutes of my time for reading this piece of crap Valek At first I thought I simply don't get it due to my bad English, but reading the comments in the thread seems I am not the only one who didn't get a thing.

If I may, it's only a waste of time if you see it as "rambling" "incoherent" a "non-essay", etc... Then again, everyone is welcome to their opinion of the piece. I don't know about anyone else, but I wasn't handed a nice clean essay on what life is after I left high school. As a matter of fact, I wasn't handed anything. I was just given words and left to my own devices to find meaning in life. Everyone has an opinion on that also. But I'll digress. This is a "game" forum and I won't waste anymore of your time with "crap". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 But I'll digress. This is a "game" forum and I won't waste anymore of your time with "crap". how funny, "But I'll Digress" followed immediatly by a very digressed immature lash out at everyone who involves themselves in discussions here. At least you offer warning when your defense mechanism is triggered. Valek, When everyone says it is bad, and you're the only one defending it...The objective intellect would begin to realize their position is bad. This is if you are possessing of said objectivity, and intellect. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pali Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Valek, I called it rambling and incoherent because I think those terms are apt descriptions of it. It is a long, unfocused bit of writing that doesn't seem to know what its point is and certainly doesn't get it across clearly. If you disagree with this analysis, I'm curious as to why.
