YTMND.

I don't see YTMND on there.

Your mom jokes are alright as long as you substitute "mom" for "ass" or any other word (except face)

"I'll ____ YOU" jokes get old (where ______ is whatever word a person just said; i.e. I say "That's my sandwich!" Reply: "I'll sandwich YOU")

EDIT: Oops, I missed Halo on there.  Yeah, really sick and tired of that.

Aw common, we can only select one??? :(

Half the stuff on that list is overrated.

Put runescape and maple story on there. Worst games ever.

Also put Super mario bros. I hate 2D platformers.

Myspace, FTW about being overrated.
You really should have separated Halos 1-3 because one could be good but the other two could be crap.
EDIT: Also I vote for locking too.

C'mon. Is that all you can think of being overrated? How about pr0n? Dating? Saving money? How about internet forums? Whoever made this poll left out a lot.

The only option that would make sense would be the most overrated, unscientific, statistically innacurate phenomenon of them all. Internet polls.

Children: They whine and scream and consume money. Then they grow up and can breed and bring forth even more children. Then the planet gets overpopulated and resources run out and there will be wars and we will all ****ing die!.

Polls: Polls, or statistics in general, are like bikini; they show a lot but still manage to cover just the bits the reader is interested in.

Any technology that is more sophisticated than a wheel: Technology, or more precisely industry, has brought this world to its current state where we're all concerned about global warming and mass destruction and such.

Dating: Dating might lead to breeding, which in turn leads to the first item on the list. And let's not forget. A woman is like a Mac: you have to invest like hell, you can never really figure it out and if there are complications or issues, you have abso-****ing-lutely no idea what's wrong.

Breeding different dog races: Seriously, haven't the dogs suffered enough already? Take a look at a Shar Pei, for example. That just isn't natural.

Health care: health care, and medicines, extend the human life, making it possible for an individual to consume precious resources for a longer period of time.

Old people: Don't pump them full of drugs and rig them to godknowswhat artificial lungs and the likes. Let them die so that they'll be out of the way.

Money: money is one of the problems of the human civilization. Money is an unnecessary step in between exchanging goods and services. And it is something one can stockpile and store. People should just exchange items or offer their services in exchange for items or other services.

What else? Hmm, can't think of more right now... oh wait: transport phenomena: I hate transport phenomena. Why do we need 1600 pages of formulas and equations for calculating viscosities and heat transfers and whatnot? **** flows through a pipe. That's quite enough for me, thank you. No need to include math or physics in there.

i hate to say it, but the only thing i agree with is pumping old people up with drugs and the money thing. the rest of the stuff there isn't overated at all... as for children, would you rather not have been born?

Bah. Don't hate saying it. It is good to express one's opinion, no matter what the topic is. And since you asked so nicely, yes. I would rather not have been born. So far I have been unable to find a meaning for life. As a result I'm merely a parasite, doing nothing but leeching on the hard work of others. I would prefer doing nothing on a higher, non-material plane of existence.

Cause all of my friends "socialise" with each other, even though we we live less than five miles apart at the farthest point, are allowed to bike that far, and are all allowed that far late at night. It's not the fact of privacy rather the fact that it's a giant waste of time. All of the "groups" like "ZOMG BE VAMPIREZ!!!" and "ZOMG BE WEREWOLVEZ!!!" are just clones of each other.  It is just a stupid idea.

Side note: MSN Messenger should be up there if it isn't.

I'll have to argue that. Facebook might be overrated to you if you live less than five miles from all your friends. When most of your friends live a thousand miles away from you it becomes a little more practical.

That's also why Facebook wasn't meant for high schoolers who all live in the same town.

Hmm..Vista ain't bad. It desperately needs the service pack and it+s definately nothing special, but it ain't bad. Point is, I don't recall it getting the redicolous amount of overhyping as much as the other two items on the list.

Something that is definitely not overrated because it pretty much has the contempt of all who have tried to use it. Save for a few people who apparently share the same mental affliction with the makers of the program, which allows them to see some kind of sense in it.

His metal affliction causes wild halucinations - as evident by his laughable claim that TrueSpace sucks, when we all know it's a great program. After all, [V] used it, and they ain't dumb.

 :lol:

AFAIK, the :v: didn't make their POF's with PCS. They most likely had their own pof exporter and used some sensible 3D-program. I thought COB was selected as primary import format for PCS because TrueSpace used to be the cheapest/free modeling software around, while 3DS Max, Lightwave and other fancy programs cost and still do cost a fortune when you get them through legal means. I could be wrong though, but I verily suspect :v: didn't use TrueSpace in their model design...
