Life's longest riddle: "How do you defend Jackson and Charvel guitars in an argument with an ignorant FIFTEEN YEAR OLD ESP player who says that 'Jacksons suck ass'?" [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
I am on a message board talking about metal guitars, and a few of us were talking about Jacksons, and a fifteen year old ESP player comes along, saying, "Jacksons suck ass", "ESP rocks", etc.
I am NOT going to start a fight to defend Jacksons for the following reasons:
1.) Though I am only 19 and he is 15, we BOTH have not lived long enough to have played a fair share of guitars from each "era" of the company. So I can't really go with my natural instinct to defend Jacksons, because I hate arguing on something I have not had much experience with.
2.) I'll save myself the energy, because he who argues with a 15-year-old ESP player is analogous to pumping a dry well, beating a dead horse, squeezing blood out of a stone, debating with a brick wall, or the like.
3.) It's not worth arguing on the internet. It's akin to competing in the special olympics: Even if you win, you're still a retard.
All I said in response to the guy was, "How many USA Select Series Jacksons have you played in your fifteen years of life?" and am awaiting a reply.
But, I still feel funny. Having an ignorant little kid insulting a guitar company known for nothing but absolute quality and reputation just sickens me. I promised myself I wouldn't fight, but sometimes you just want to kill a small furry animal for the ignorant things that spew forth from younger teenagers.
