Prognostication = Worthless

It is tiresome to see all the threads with Nostradumbasses saying things like "Jardine WILL K.O. Wanderlei," "BJ will Kill Sherk," "Tim will Destroy Fedor," etc. What is the purpose of typing that? So that if it the result predicted happens, they can claim that they are psychic? Or that they understand MMA better? Or are somehow better people? Bullshit! That is why the fighters fight. Fights can be so unpredictable.

It is one thing to have an opinion about an outcome, or to be a fan of a fighter, but to be so boastful and reassured, as if you had just called Miss Cleo is another, far more obnoxious thing. These threads often end with "I guarantee it," like this random person on the internet's guarantee mean anything.

To be honest, it annoys me, but really, I just thought up Nostradumbass, and that sounds cool to me. To my knowledge, no one has said that, so, there, that is my contribution to humanity. Oddly enough, it is more than anything Nostradamus ever did.

You shouldn't you use alot of big words in your title like Prognostication, it scares alot of Sherdogger's away. But seriously i also am sick of those threads and their justifications. Boring filler threads with bullshit logic to back them up. Nostradumbasses for sure

Isn't the internet about bitching anonymously and without consequence,its all filler between events. But in my honest opinion listening to people bitch about minor annoyances instead of sifting through the nonsense like the rest of us annoys me. The Mods do their jobs and filter what they can, the rest is up to you.

I predict this thread will get past the first page.

If it doesn't, the world ends in 2012.
