"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I actually thougth the RvB video would be a fake video, and that they wouldn't actually produce a video just for April Fools.

I was wrong. ;)

Hmm, it was alright. I haven't seen RvB for awhile, so I didn't get a lot of it...

Forum filters have to be pretty near the lamest April Fool's gag possible. Their sheer repetitiveness and predictability suck out any semblance of humor or surprise. It's like having someone follow you around all day loudly telling the same joke over and over.

Some people are very easily entertained.

Actually, the filtering here was nothing compared to the train wreck over at fark.com, where every single post was run through a randomly-selected filter-- redneck, sissy B!FF, etc. These were heavy-duty filters too, that hardly left a single word untouched. Pretty much a textbook example of running a joke into the ground.

I guess some people just can't grasp that this sort of thing is infinitely more effective if it's only applied randomly, and rarely. Takes a lot longer for people to figure out that way.
