i remember it, but i'm not annoyed, and i dunno why other people are. i think this stuff is kind of interesting... what's the big deal? no harm done.

interesting....

David Bowie was born, and he's bi....
Bobbie Fischer won a chess tournament....
Some black lady was a vague pioneer, in some vague way of "education" a very vague achievment....did she buy a book? wtf....

If these little tidbitd were "interesting" nobody would have a problem....it's the fact that they are not, in fact, interesting, that irritates everyone. Except the dreadfully mundane that is.

And the fact that it is a thinly veiled attempt and pushing hiw own agenda where it needs not be foisted upon everyone just makes it even more irritating. So before all of you freaks start calling everyone who dislikes this tool a homophobe (oh what a copout, I disagree with being gay so suddenly I am afraid of it, or I am gay myself and just overcompensating....right, welcome to a world where nobody has to make sense).

This whole thing is so stupid....and even worse now that I see some idiot-boxes going "ooooh thats very interesting....I have a complete lack of knowledge regarding history, thank you for posting these dull pointless facts to push your agenda"....

welcome to hell....

Yes but you are the ultimate troll yourself. You delight in trolls. You worship them. You want to have their children and breed other trolls.

Are they? That is a bit of a shocker.

Yeah. They dated for a while, but then Freddie Prinze Jr. stole Stephen away from him.

Yes, im quite clearly stating my dislike of the user EbonyExperience for an online forum. Thats all. Obviously im not a mod.

There is a difference between someone whos anti-gay and homophobe. Get out your frickin dictionary.

There's a lot less interesting threads on the board right now but not many people with more issues than TallBill.

I don't see a problem with this thread except for Tallbill's intolerance of others.

first of all, they don't irritate everyone, just the easily irritated.

second of all, i resent being called "dreadfully mundane" or the implication that i have a "complete lack of knowledge regarding history". i don't think you have to be dreadfully mundane to enjoy trivia, and i don't think that you have to have a complete lack of knowledge regarding history to find these interesting. it is entirely possible that you specialize in say, ancient history, and therefore would naturally have no knowledge about texaco's recent actions.

but this is really besides the point... the point is that if you don't find them interesting, that's great. go do something else then. he's not hurting anyone. and it's not like he is burdening the forums... it's one thread a day for god's sake.

Get your propganda out of here then asshat.

Btw, do not make statements on my tolerence towards "others". I stated it a few times, but i'll state it before. I do not like the posts of EbonyExperience based on the fact that they only exist for daily facts which are supposed to improve gay rights. I dont dislike the person, his views, or anything that he represents. Perhaps you are the intolerant one.

MY quote of the day for january 8th.

Adolf Hitler -
All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it... Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.

TallBill..I respect your belief...I was merely saying that everyone should have the right to post what they want!! I just do not get it..no matter what I post, I get called a racist!! It is easy for the other folk to comment on life from behind the monitor.................

Your not paying attention. Im not commenting on life. Im commenting on the posts of EbonyExperience, an online alias. Whoever that is, he/she isn't saying any normal words and in fact i do not know who it is at all.

I would glady voice my personal opinion to anyone in real life, or i wouldn't state it here.

I've been paying a lot of attention to your posts in this thread and I'm confident when I say that I have no idea what you're talking about.

I do not despise whoever is behind EbonyExperience. Besides.. who made Noam Chomsky the boss? Thats not a very impressive quote, regardless of the situation. Perhaps there is a good match for the quote, but im lacking in one.

Tall Bill...that comment about about "It is easy for the other folk to comment on life from behind the monitor" was not directed at you....you seem to have no fear speaking your mind. Oh well....I'm gonna go watch TV..life could be so much simpler....:D
