poetry competition?

[Corax]

Please be specific, or people may think you're slagging them off when you aren't...

Edit @ corax

No slagging off in that post IMO, more an appeal.

Like I said in the post (though was an edit), not aimed at a specific individual. I'm sure people can rely on their own consciences for whether it applies to them or not.

And before anyone jumps the gun - yes, it applies to me sometimes too.

When to walk away
I never learned it
When to have last word
I always want it
When to go Cantona
I'm expert at it

If heads might cool
or protagonists cease
We could return to
Those Elysium fields

Of poesy done for poesy
The muse weeps
Her sisters dry tears

A bargepole of tenfoot length
can't stop pissing in the tent

I'd say that is indeed a strong correlation between communication skills and intelligence. I didn't say "grammar equals intelligence". However in that case too there would also be a general correlation between the two, albeit with a significant number of exceptions.

Well your stepping nonchalantly into very murky waters. The discussions been done on here a few times but I'll be as succinct as possible. The brain and it's capabilities are very multi faceted, different brains are wired differently, meaning some people are naturally better equipped for certain tasks, in fact the better a persons ability in a specific area normally means they lack motor skills in another eg, aspergers, autism. People can be genius savants and lack the so called "intelligence" to convey themselves socially for instance these are extreme examples but the point remains valid. Your point hints at dyslexic people being less intelligent which is bollocks, in fact the blanket term "dyslexia" just illustrates neurosciences unfinished development, another eg would be thinking laterally which I do well(I'm dyslexic or whatever) and my brothers in ability to not be logical, whereas he's seen as being highly accomplished and intelligent.

I hope that's not too illegible and others could say it better but i tried.

You seem to think I don't understand your point and I do. Your latest point highlights the exceptions I was talking about. They do not change the fact that despite this, there is a correlation between communication skills and intelligence.

Sorry for the semantics, but again communications a misnomer because you would feel very differently about me or my intelligence in person(verbally) and on paper. Anyway I'm not sure your point, I don't see a direct correlation but gotta chip be back in a bit.

[xenon]

Help. I want to do the right thing.

Should I post kittens?

Walk away?

Say something nice?

Just don't make sweeping statements with out expecting having to defend them vigrrously, with data. Especially if you waid in, on an already flegmatic thread. Communication skills may be linked to intelligence. Before you can even start examining that, how narrowly are you drawing your definition of communication. Judgeng someone's interlectual ability purely on their written communications is very foolish.

And Meth's not thick. he's a twat.

Welcome to Urban I think you'll fit in

 

[Citizen66]

There is a certain advantage I think to never having met either poster in this fued. For an outsider like me, to watch an award winning, published 'proper poet' take on a self proclaimed drug crazed battle rapper, this thread has made me cry genuine tears of laughter. I have to say, as a spectactator, the angrier you all get the funnier this becomes. I hope this thread never gets deleted. It is an all time urban great! I haven't laughed this much since that pervy one about the girl on the bus!

It is funny, if you read it in an abstract ad hoc script kind of way. But I suspect soj has been genuinely hurt by this. Which kind of strips the comedy away a bit.

 

[discokermit]

Jesus.

i wouldn't bother, garf is a twat.

[Frances Lengel]

Poetry's fuckin boring (apart from John Burnside and a couple of others), but this thread's the best thing on urban at the mo.

Wish people would hurry up and come back from their lunch breaks!

You know what? You are right there. I suspect they're both very hurt. When you're sitting at home and you can't put faces to names it's easy to see the absurdity of it all, but when it's you on the end of it, it can be very disturbing. I've got into bunfights with people late at night and been really shaken up. When you step away from it, it's ludicrous. But I think there's something about it happening when your on your own, and in your own home that does make it really horrible. Particularly when others start wadeing in. Kind of reminds me of why I tend to lurk rather than post these days...

Heh. I've had a thread full of people calling me a sex pest because I started a thread they didn't like. It wasn't even about sex either. they just dragged up some ancient instance that apparently happened that they conveniently refused to furnish me with the details of and I was as guilty as charged. At least the people in the world who actually know me don't say such shit.

But whatever. Still waiting for the police to knock on my door though.

No way!!! I've never had anything that nasty, shit... I tried to be a troll once just to see what it was like. I started a thread purely to wind people up, and then they got wound up, and I didn't like it. Lesson learned...

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Who you calling a bargepole you cunt?

And a bargepole that's continuously pissing, to boot.

I rubbed quite a few people up the wrong way back in the day, tbf. Both on and off line. Like meth, I felt I had been wronged in part also which is why I can empathise with his stance on this a bit. But he's kind of ruined his case with some of the subsequent shit he's been coming out with.

Johnny is here, excellent!

Do you know, it's funny, but I think it's good to be reminded that there are real people on the end of these posts. I can do all that ((((hugs)))) stuff, but if I'm honest, my mental images of posters are quite cartoonish. I've always enjoyed reading meth's posts because they are so honest, I find it so easy to relate to him, and I find his honesty really entertaining (in that identifying kind of way).
One of the reasons I like U75 is because generally, the posters on here have a pretty impressive intelect, I certainly feel stretched by some of the stuff on here.
But when it descends into a bunfight, It really does look absurd. It's kind of like when you see politicians getting into mass brawls.
The spectacle of it is kind of unreal... It's easy to forget, actually, these are real people having a moment.

 

[METH LAB]

Wozers..im not banned, not even a warning.

im done flowing for today/tonight though coz i cant stay awake lol (on the nod)

I sure do make things happen dont i lol

peace to the peacefull..im gonna enjoy the tremendus buzz i got on.

i'll be back like schwarzsenegger, if any of you bet thats a bet for sure
i just cant get enough like michel jackson, the way he makes me feel sends me into a toxic reaction
like contaminated Meth
Im bad for the enviroment and often explode
Just like most MethLabs cooking up a batch at a motel then hitting the road

but really ive got double vision so its a job for tommorow.

once again, peace to the peacefull..never meant for this to happen.
its not my fault if you insult my space rocket
i dont mind at all
but most of you cant even stay on topic.
insult me with a fuckin verse at least?
although im deffiataly gonna fall asleep.

imma go fall down on a very comfy sofa and do what s** should be doing
and chilling instead of re-gurtitating this fucked up situation
for tea tonight im gonna have bacon
if i can stay awake i'll be on the playstaton.

its been real

peace to the peacefull, rest of ya'll know what to do

 

[miss giggles]

Meth Lab! While you're still here, there's something I've got to tell you...

Years ago, I was absolutely convinced that my postman was stealing my giros. So convinced, that I steamed open a giro, typed out my name and address (cos it was typewriters in those days), glued the envelope down, posted it back to myself, and sat like a meercat underneath my letter box for days on end...

Years later, I don't think I've ever told anyone about this, in fact, I'd forgotten all about it.
Untill I read your poem! In fact, I love that poem so much, I might go and print it out!

PEACE x

 

[Dandred]

Hope you're not going to be gone long...
