Sorry I must have missed the part where it was obvious.



OH WAIT THAT'S BECAUSE IT WASN'T. SCREW BOSTONIANS LOLOL ZOMG SARCASM, THE ULTIMATE COP OUT.

You're a stupid shit. Do you honestly think I think that people owe Boston for holidays? If you didn't think it was sarcasm, you're clearly dumber than anyone else here. Even <RJMC> could've caught the sarcasm in that post.

Piss off now.

Says who? My family is Russian and didn't come to America until the early 20th century.

If it wasn't for Boston, I'd probably be in Russia, which Alaska would still be a part of, and Russia would be making a good fortune off the oil. I win no matter what. You lose for saying the absolutely most retarded thing I've heard in a long time.
I don't know anything because I live in a state with less than a million people. YEAH, OK.
Maybe you can start off with some Bill Nye the Science Guy to get you going in teh right direction. He's pretty easy to understand and then even you can grasp simple concepts, like what makes things fall down, and where people come from.
That is, if you don't get gangraped on the way to the Quik-e-Mart.

Don't you bring Bill into this.

Anyways, you don't win, because even if you were in Russia, you'd be wearing one of those stupid hats, so you definitely lose because you're pretty close to the hats as it is. The hats suck. End of story.

Maybe you should go click on the link DreadLord provided again. FTW? Yes, FTW.

Hahahaha, so rude, yet so funny. (The high-horse picture.)

I'm pretty sure people don't applaude this hijacking, but what the hell, ok. I'll learn you up.
borderline - adj., Verging on a given quality or condition: borderline poverty.
racism- n, The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
profiling- n, recording a person's behavior and analyzing psychological characteristics in order to predict or assess their ability in a certain sphere or to identify a particular group of people

What this means is you assume I think you are black because I used an Atlantean "gangsta" stereotype to mock you, since you are from Atlanta. No racial gesture was made on my part.
Fact is, pretty much any race of people in this or other urban settings can be found to engage in this culture. White, black, asian, it doesn't matter. I know this.
You appear, to not know this. According to your statement I can logically assume you think all people who are into gangsta culture are black. It can be deduced from this you are either stupid, or a borderline racist, which means you tend to put people into groups based on their skin color or background. For example, you might think a person from Texas rides horses, wears cowboy gear and has a drawl in their speech. You might also think a person from say, ALASKA, lives in 3rd world conditions around wild animals and has to hunt for food, simple due to it's location.
This proves a few things. One, you should study your country's geography and history, and learn it to a greater extent than what was once the colonies. You'll find Alaska has had a great hand in the wealth of this country.
Two, you are very self-centered. You automatically think you are better than people whom might live in a place not quite as great as where you live. Utterly moronic.
Three, you judge people by face and sometimes even less than that, by a few words, and are likely prejudice to people different than you.
I may be wrong, I may be right, there's no way to know for sure even if you deny it. You may also be a liar, and it would not be a far stretch given these traits I have ascertained of you simply from observing what ludicrosity you have spewed forth in great eruptions in so short a time.

It is my advice, to you, to find your Bill Nye your Beakman's World and your Eureka's Castle, do the rest of America a favor and remove the idiocy that is your e-bungling, destitute character, and bring this Nation's IQ level to something the Brits can no longer chuckle at.

Is that too much to ask?

willho is a hostile little duck ;o

When I am forced to make human contact, I find that the people I know around here tend to use AIM, and the people I know from the entire rest of the world tend to use MSN.

I'm stupid? You are the one expecting everyone to know what you are thinking. Do I know you?
No. How should I know how you feel about Boston? First of all let's get one thing perfectly straight. I don't give a shit.
You could be (and probably are) a complete moron, and could potentially believe such a thing. You have the gall to say such a thing with all confidence, yet when confronted you use the ultimate scaepegoat, "oh it was sarcasm".

And lo, he who does not see sarcasm where it is intended is most certainly an idiot!
For on the internet, people's intentions are most obvious as BIG LARGE TEXT is the universal sign of "look at me, I'm just joking around".
Nay, people do not use large text merely to capture your attention because they are adamant in their beliefs, they are ALWAYS sarcastic and witty.

/obvious sarcasm

Not enough? Here is the rolling eyes in case you did not catch it.

You have much yet to learn, young padowan.

Hmm, interesting debate.

I have an IRC channel which all of my roommates sit in. It's a nice way to chat while we're at work (since most of us can!). And I use IRC extensively at work, a handy way for distributed groups of people to get in touch really quick, like when you need to ask an engineer wtf some crazy error message is.

I guess if your only concern is to talk to a few friends and not have to deal with any sort of organization or large social group, IRC is completely uninteresting. But IRC fills a niche that MSN, AIM, and ICQ just can't get at.

 

[WhiteZero]

IRC is one of the oldest forms of real-time chatting and filesharing.
Props to it.

Z, cool down man. It was totally obvious sarcasm but this is the internet and people miss sarcasm all the time. Just think 'whoops, sorry man, missed the sarcasm' and have done with it. Like that guy jet jaguar who missed my sarcasm in the suicide newspost thread. I didn't blow up at him.

Argh, sectarian conflict!

I have a tendency to take things literally and personally.
I thought about it though and gave it up.
I flew completely off the handle.
