The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

When every penny we spend is put on the Socialist China's credit account, YES. Maybe if they don't have shacks, they might stop building bombs long enough to build another stupid shack.

This happens when you go from being the world's biggest creditor to its biggest debtor, from manufacturing economy to spending.

OFM, the specific vocabulary you use is inordinately slanted. I'd be careful about using the word "guesstimate" in any sort of formal paper.


This paragraph disgusts me. Schools are implemented to give far more than just marketable skills. That is why four years of English is required in nearly every single college's admission guidelines. That is why schools have drama departments, music departments, art departments. That is why we are taught history as a graduation requirement.

History is obviously important "we learn from our mistakes" kind of thing. Music is a life-skill and may not be used to gain intrinsic value in most cases, but is definitely not useless. Drama is a legitimate field for a career. English is a life skill. It's important to be able to express yourself with correct form and intelligence.
you are far less human than I gave you credit for.

Thank you.


Better stop teaching about the Holocaust, so that the Holocaust deniers don't have a reason to "launch attacks!" Better censor and punish our presses, so that the Muslims never get upset about a picture of Muhammed!
this obviously isn't an arbitrary theory that doesn't have relevance in today's society. This is also a slippery slope. I'm also not saying to censor anything. If we were to do the opposite of this point and un-censor everything, you would OBVIOUSLY have some very disturbed children on your hands. "censoring" is not choosing what to ingrain in children's heads.


Yeah, we definitely want laymen to have more of an impact on the fundamental knowledge necessary for the continuation of science. That is something we should all work towards. Yes. [/B]
I've explained that i'm talking about theories such as abiogenesis, big bang, etc. ones that allegedly happened before we were apes. not teaching these in lower education would not hurt modern science in any way.

Why do all the other off-topic threads have way more posts than us? We talk about nothing, ALL THE TIME.

they have more traffic

we're a thread in a subcategory of a subcategory of a subcategory of kmc

its sort of obscure.

The guy who hit the ridiculous buzzer beater. My high school basketball team actually practiced this play and ran it in an end of game situation. It failed, but we ran it.

or like this place because of certain individuals. It's really kind of like a wee clique.

People liking the members wouldn't decreas ethe traffic rather increase it.

I meant that as a clique we are hard to break into. we normally harrass noobs until they go crying to the anime forum. I have no idea why DE is still here, for instance.

That or you sidle in silently 👆

I'm here becuase I'm awesome and bored.

I never really "got" the clique thing until after I was already in. I joined by making fun of Kotor3 (the poster) and then just harassing people in general. Was the clique established at that point?

Also: we make fun of idiots that arent part of the group so that they wont be part of the group. If someone is good enough to stand up to that then they should be here. It is like a firewall, only not nearly as efficient. (The long, slow culling process should, IMO, be replaced with a dedicated poster that explicitly firewalls foolz. We could take turns!)

Pretty much all you have to be able to do is identify and mock noobs and get at least one warning from rex. I think that's the established criteria. not sure though.
