Did you have to make 4 posts within a minute?
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Sorry.
There is an edit function. In the future, if your post is the last one in the thread edit it rather than do a double- (or quadruple) post. Or else.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Did that picture really have to use Steve Jobs...?

I've no idea if Bill Gates was teased or bullied as a youngster, but he had the classic nerdy look, and was small in stature. He'd have been a much more suitable example than Jobs for this cartoon. Gates at least has tried, with success, to help the less fortunate in many ways, and has shed himself of the bulk of his wealth to fund those projects. It never ceases to amaze me how little Job's fans must actually know about who he was and what he did.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Lol, I've seen that cartoonist before.

The "peg-head" guy made me chuckle.

I was thinking the same. Also, I think young Nerd-Boy Gates was utterly ADORKABLE!

B'aaawwwwwwww....cute nerdy dork-boy!

(Of course, I think Jobs was hunkalicious as a youth, too but Gates is a better person in comparison...even if he was a bit of an ego-head as well, back in the day).

Jobs is something of a bully himself, as well, which is why I questioned the use of it.

Not to mention there's easily dozens of other notable examples that could apply to this cartoon.

And they chose the guy who, in my opinion, was least qualified for it.

Steve Jobs doesn't look nerdy.  He looks like a hipster.

Probably codified the look, to be honest.

On the topic of that comic: I wonder how a peg-head would actually work......

Well, was a bully. He's dead, now.

About "Peg-Head", I laughed because it's so absurd.
