They prefer 16oz to 1 lb?
 
2011-12-28 10:58:00 AM
At least the zealot would be quiet, and not smell like pot and tanning spray.
 
2011-12-28 10:58:26 AM
Big time, "it's not news."
 
2011-12-28 10:59:32 AM
I think the poll found that people don't want to live next to either of them.
 
2011-12-28 11:00:26 AM
I've never noticed a difference between the two groups...
 
2011-12-28 11:01:21 AM
If I lived next door to a religious zealot, I'd be the obnoxious douche bag

/and damned proud of it
 
2011-12-28 11:01:34 AM
4% of the people want to live next to Nancy farking Grace, this poll is just ridiculous.
 
2011-12-28 11:03:10 AM
eh, in a very narrow application of the definition of zealot, i guess tebow fits. but he doesn't seem at all to be very partisan about it or to judge or insult others about their lack of religion. he's very open about his faith, but i haven't seen anything about him that would suggest he wouldn't be a fantastic neighbor.
 
2011-12-28 11:09:46 AM
Doesn't Tebow qualify for both? Look at him and tell me he doesn't look like a douchebag.
 
2011-12-28 11:15:02 AM
I've had both and I'll take the religious zealot any day of the week. The zealot is only annoying when you see him face-to-face. The obnoxious douchebag doesn't take care of his yard, has loud music at all hours, and is rude, homophobic, and racist when you do meet him.

The worst the zealot did was look visibly relived when told the X-Men sticker on the car was not Satanic. Although I did get a lecture about the Darwin fish. The douchebag came over the first day he moved in to remark how nice & quiet the neighborhood was. When I agreed, he asked if that was because there were no n*iggers living nearby (direct quote). His yard was quickly littered w/couches, cars on blocks, and beer cans. They were raided after a few months for running an illegal daycare. Good times...

You do have a point. He did let the Bills win.

I lived next to that guy, I think.

This is the stupidest poll in the history of America.

Everybody on that list is an obnoxious douchebag.

Doesn't anybody want to live next door to Neil DeGrasse Tyson or something?

mitchcumstein1: Doesn't Tebow qualify for both? Look at him and tell me he doesn't look like a douchebag.

I will bet he doesn't have a bunch of wild parties, keeps his place neat, and is quiet. If he is a douchebag, it is likely on his own time, which I could not care less about.

Having heard numerous interviews with the neighbors of serial killers, it's the neat and quiet ones you should fear the most.

NDT is an egomaniac, not a douchebag.

There is a difference, and though many egomaniacs are also douchebags, he
is not one of those.

I've had dinner with him, and would be proud to have him as a neighbor.

Why? All of their neighbors are clearly fine, as they were able to give interviews.
 
2011-12-28 12:25:08 PM
Depends on whether Tebow's the evangelizing type. Few neighbors would be more obnoxious than one constantly trying to "save" me.

Illegal daycare? What?


I'm shocked it wasn't a meth lab and ONLY an illegal daycare. But they had like a dozen kids in this filthy little 5-room house being "cared for" by a woman who needed a Jazzy & an oxygen tank to move around. I don't know where the kids came from--they weren't from the neighborhood--but somebody finally had enough & the cops were called.
 
2011-12-28 12:34:03 PM
In my experience, the two are most often the same.
 
2011-12-28 01:43:14 PM
Hmmm...would I rather have Larry as a neighbour, or a Mr Furley? I'd go with Furley, he'd at least would be quieter.

/come and knock on our dooooor...

Hasn't that been established?

Either would be preferable to a self-righteous Fark liberal.

GWLush: I think the poll found that people don't want to live next to either of them.

Looks that way. 42% none of the above, that would be my guess. Though I'd be in the majority agreeing that living next to anyone associated with the Jersey Shore wins for worst.

Yeah but sometimes Larry has an extra stewardess!

Quiet? They generally have multiple hellspawn running around screaming.
 
2011-12-28 02:57:07 PM
The two are mutually exclusive? Since when?
 
2011-12-28 02:59:55 PM
six of one, half a dozen the other.
 
2011-12-28 03:02:08 PM
I gather this Tebow character is an athlete who likes to pray in public, like Jesus said not to do.

I'll live by Angelina Jolie.. in case she ever gets a sudden urge for a threesome..

That's an easy fix.

Zealots are Douchebags subby.

Unless we've changed the meaning of the term. They are fanatical, preachy, and sometimes militant.

But not all douchebags are zealots, which is why we're having the discussion. Try to keep up.

True.

I have voodoo dolls attached to my snow blower and my lawn mower just because it's the stupidest goofiest thing and it drives the neighbor bonkers.


///does that make me the obnoxious asshole?

No that makes them obnoxious looky-loos who need to find something better to do than get upset about something so trivial. CARRY ON; sounds cool.

That depends on whether you have the voodoo dolls there because you like them, or specifically to be an obnoxious asshole. If you like them and the neighbor has a problem with them, then he's the asshole.

At least the religious zealots would leave you alone after you hung your pentagram
flag in the front window.

Um... I've always liked the smell of pot.

/Tanning spray, not so much

Alphax: I gather this Tebow character is an athlete who likes to pray in public, like Jesus said not to do.

Veritcal prayer: "This is between me and God."

Horizontal prayer: "I'm praying. Everybody seeing me pray? This is how much I love Jesus. By having you watch me pray to him."

Yup, the latter does seem to fall a little bit into "Pride".
 
2011-12-28 03:34:52 PM
I'd prefer to get punched in the face as opposed to the balls, but my true preference would be to have neither happen.

FTA:"According to a new survey conducted by real estate site Zillow.com"

They also link to the site that actually did the leg work for the poll, as much as it can be called work, or a poll. Should have linked to the Zillow site, subby. Give them the hits that MSNBC got for the work the did.

I would rather live next to an underused state park in Virginia like my in-laws. My mother-in-law was angry the first year in the house after the leaves dropped because she could see the lights of another house in the distance.

She's my kind of gal.
 
2011-12-28 03:41:58 PM
Give me a heretic over a zealot, any day. A heretic is willing to die for his beliefs, a zealot is willing to kill you over theirs.
