PSA: Stop feeding the retards

[TomMcC]

Who is being talked about...new people that ask questions? I haven't noticed any demanding whiners, but evidently others have.

You're assuming a level of intelligence that's slowly going extinct in the world.

The supermajority of teens and twenty somethings today are by far the worst generation ever.

Literally every generation has been called "the worst so far" by the previous generation.

This. That anyone seriously gets their panties in a wad over this stuff is asinine.

Goes hand in hand with the "Ok boomer" and anything "dad" related...but sling mud at the youth and they start balling their eyes out and crying about whats fair.

Stick and stones.

Apparently this upset some folks, not that it wasn't kind of a dick post:

Geez, guys! Thanks for all the superfluous info but read the post.

Again, besides IMI, are there any other 5.56 using low signature powder? Heck, even .223. I need names!

Currently, I'm shooting Federal/Frontier 55gr 5.56 with a BCM Mod 0 Compensator.

. . and yes, I know a compensator is not a flash hider.[/SIZE]

"Just shut up and give me the info" typically wont get you the response you want.

Apparently, neither will just posting a simple question.

I get the frustration on the OP's part about folks not reading his post and replying strictly to his question, but dayum there are a lot of variables, as several folks nicely tried to point out.

Going back and re-reading, I'm kind of sorry I took the time to try a give a cogent response.

I remember joining this site 10 years ago. I spent hours reading what seemed like every thread on the site.

Despite reading on a fairly regular basis over the last 10 years, that knowledge I attained 10 years ago still makes up 90-95% of what I know of the AR platform.

Hear, hear!

There is a certian level and then it is just small variations on the mechanism/tech. There aren't many questions that haven't been answered, but then you aren't a forum, you are a faq page. So people ask stupid/redundant questions- it let's the guys who know show what they know- and it gives them a chance to explain it in a new way. That is at least how I rationalize it.

Literally every generation has been called "the worst so far" by the previous generation.

Civilization has been in decline since it started.

I'm not sure I understand the problem.

If it's a bunch of new people asking what is the best overall AR platform, why not just tell them to get a Colt 6920? It's the strongest feature of this forum, in areas that aren't terribly subjective, people through experience or research HAVE the answer.

Or is the problem a case of people asking "Is my Core 15 just as good as a Colt?" and then wanting to argue if they don't get the answer they want?

Or is it people who want immediate gratification without having to spend months reading the forum? It kind of sounds like that is the problem and if so I don't understand the mindset. If somebody wants to know some obscure HK question I don't tell them which 5 books to read (like I had to), I just tell them what I know and if they question the validity of the answer I tell them where I got the information.

Now sometimes if it's something that has been extensively detailed already, I'll just post a link to the thread. I understand not everyone is going to spend a few grand buying the Collectors Grade Publications library. I understand a lot of people aren't old enough to know about Ed Ezell or a dozen other guys. Also not everyone is military and LE and many of those who are have never fired their weapon except for qualifications and drills.

So if those people come here looking for answers (which makes them unique because they don't simply assume they know everything already), what is the harm in answering questions? Even ones that have been asked and answered a few times? Especially given that a couple well founded answers are sometimes all it takes to flip a switch and turn on a light bulb and a person who might carry a firearm for a living suddenly understands and considers an entire new viewpoint they hadn't even know existed to that point.

I have learned more useful stuff from people who were willing to answer my 12 stupid questions and then suddenly I saw a pattern of useful information.

I almost started Googling Colt 5920 until I realized what you meant...

Thanks, got it now. That post was a bit much.

I thought this thread was going to be about Palmetto State Armory feeding retards poorly built rifles...
