Internet Argues
on: March 17, 2007, 03:30:49 pm
Recently, antropologists have demonstrated that the number of argues between Internet users is escalating.

Thanks to the coverage guaranteed by nicknames(or the fact that people live in different countries)offending people is every day easier.

Antropologists report that the use of emoticons if important...for example:

Quote
You're a son of a *****!  :)

Quote
You're a son of a *****!  :P

Quote
You're a son of a *****!   :nervous:

The reaction of whoever reads these sentences is connected to the emoticon.

People are worried-the extensive use of Internet by a consistent part of the population and the escalating number of episodes everyone should forget leads someone to think that the Internet is responsable of an aggressive behaviour.

I have experienced something like this-even here on HLP. What do you think?

People's reliance on emoticons indicates their poor understanding of the structure of humor.

Every mangled word which which emerges from the  misshapen hole in your head you have elected to call a mouth is an unyielding assault on my mind. Your mere presence offends and disgusts me, as whatever mis-firings of neurons, call them thoughts if you must, you attempt to form into sentences are an unyielding assault on the English language and common decency. Every second that I mistakenly indulge your pitiful attempt at conversation leaves me a stupider than the one before. I can think of no greater curse, for myself and humanity in general, than to simply live in a world tainted by your existence. Knowing that you continue to draw breathe is a constant source of disgust and anger, a burden on my soul which will only be lifted once you have mercifully departed to the next world, which will undoubtedly be no less horrified by your presence.

Eh? Hows that for humour.

I think a suitable "Your mom" or "You're ugly" joke works justtttt fine.

Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

"...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

You often get argues over the tubes along with your internets and thetans. 

I got about three argues today, though I was expecting seven.  Stupid bicker theives.

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
