I know about that guy, I saw a special on him in Chronicle. He was going for a law degree and he ended up pursuing his passion for LEGO. His whole point of doing it now is to make LEGO a legitimate form of Art, on the same scale as paintings and 3D.
Yes, it's plainly clear you don't understand what "Illiterate" means. Also you seem to lack the ability to tell what sarcasm is, and sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. You can't even grasp at that.
Oh I do! I spin everything into a lie and shove it into innocent people's faces so I can spread hate. I really have a hard time twisting and spinning lies when the bullstuff is already done for me, thanks again. Really I've been very successful at debunking your "Ass in a tophat" rhetoric. Whenever I read your posts it's as if you think you have earned the right to stuff on other people's dreams. That's low, you're a desperate man grasping at straws.
I can safely say, you have no understanding for the Arts or life in general. Go back to your basement and stay there. Keep your handicapped input on people's dreams to yourself, you have no backing to prove you'll be any more successful.
Fine sir,
Thanks again for
ignoring my post. I totally agree that any form of visual expression is art. I
never, ever, ever said that Lego, or design, is not art.Get that through your small head.
Illiterate according to dictionary.com means:
1. unable to read and write: an illiterate group.
This seems to be you.2. having or demonstrating very little or no education.
Very much you.3. showing lack of culture, esp. in language and literature.
4. displaying a marked lack of knowledge in a particular field.
Definitely you.I know what it means. In that context I was using it to say that:
A. You are ignoring my posts, and flaming me for other things than what I said. (Not being able to read)
B. You seem to not get the meaning of what I say. (Demonstrating little or no education)
You think I don't know sarcasm? Of course you're whole rant on "design isn't art, oh no!" was sarcasm. I understand that. You were saying that it's stupid that I supposedly think design isn't art. I was saying I never said design isn't art. Perfectly valid reply to your crap. And you say that I didn't understand sarcasm? It seems like you don't understand what I'm saying!
You've reached the point where you have no idea what you're talking about and just pulling things out of the air.
If the crap is done for you, how does this:
*poorly made lego piece* Saying "I love lego" doesn't mean "I'm a master builder".
turn into this:
Yes because design isn't an art!
That's what I call bullcrap.
You've been "successful" and making yourself look like an idiot for twisting what I say, thinking that saying "I love legos" equals career in lego, refusing to accept reality by saying "you can't crush his dream" when if it's an unrealistic dream for the current situation, everyone has the right to criticize it.
What am I desperate for? What do you think my motive is in criticizing his idea? If it's unattainable in the set amount of time for the current situation, it's a BAD IDEA. If you tell a guy who's about to go make a horrible decision, "that's a bad idea", you've helped him! He didn't make a horrible decision! You can't tell me that because it's his decision it's automatically okay whether it's practical or not. None of that lovie-dovie crap around here, that's for sure.
What backing do you have? Alls you've been saying is that my non-existant opinions are handicapped. I agree, if I had the opinion that design isn't art, that would be handicapped. However, I don't. You can't seem to understand that.
I'll ask you this question again because you keep ignoring everything I say. Maybe you'll get it this time.
If you can only build stuff like this:

Is it a good idea to try to get a career with lego?
Gee, maybe you could go to calarts to study, so you can be better? WOW! I bet that never crossed your mind.
I'm saying that at the current state, career in lego is a BAD IDEA. I can tell him that. It will help him, because he won't make a boneheaded decision.
This is one of those things where I make a valid argument, you say "you're wrong, get out", I respond, and you say "I win!".
Seriously, get over yourself.
