Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Am I supposed to think the guy is funny, clever, or not a complete douchebag?

That bumper sticker is kind of funny though.

You're not meant to think well of the troll. It's not really a person as much as a role. You're supposed to laugh at the idiots replying to it.

Thought you break into song there for a second.

You are not meant to think well of the troll. It's not really a person as much as a role. Don't answer the post; don't rise to the bait. The troll does not care, it just wants you irate. No matter the subject, the topic, the polls. Just let it go. Don't feed the trolls.

Now that my son
is how the internet works
It can be really good
or make your life easily worse.
Pay no heed
to crazy shit too good to believe.
Many times they tell
a lie an hoax just sell.
Here an there a scam
for your wallet to ram.

Lol, I realized the first bit rhymed right as I posted it. Sorry for the let down.

But you did not turn around and desert them

I don't know about you, but it freaking hilarious.

He's definitely something of a douche, but so are the people he's winding up.

I find it kinda funny but maybe that's because I'm stupid.

Funny sticker along with an amusing example of what happens when you feed the troll

It’s some classic oldschool trolling. The best kind of troll is one where literally everyone reading the post can see that the troll is trolling, except for the person being trolled who thinks they’re in a debate that they have a chance of somehow winning

On one hand, the US military is terrible and anything that causes people to not go to it is good.

On the other hand, most people who join the military join out of desperation due to poverty and wanting better opportunities, so I kinda empathize with them without approving of their actions. Not to mention, the military tries its best to recruit fresh 18 year olds. Why are we judging TEENAGERS for their bad choices? The brain doesn't develop fully until 25. They're essentially victims of grooming that turn into killers. It's no different to me than joining a gang, and I don't think this guy would have the balls to trash talk an actual gang member like this.

Basically, I would say to this guy "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
