Hmmm... I wonder if T*d had to cancel his subscription to Forbes? Don't you
just HATE it when good capitalists turn out to be subversives? :-)

Let's see, I just found this bboard...

Generally, I don't move beyond my nonconformist scope, but for something
this tempting, I'll make an exception.

Now, what to do? How about this; I'll ask a question. This is always
good at getting me into trouble.

What causes people to press certain political beliefs upon others who
are unreceptive? Generally, I'm a pretty receptive guy, but when people
start rippin on capitalism and democracy and tellin me socialism is the
key to happiness in life, I get a bit annoyed.

Maybe a few of you could enlighten me as to why socialism (or any ism,
for that matter) is better than capitalism, or (this is naive of me) you
could back me up. I'm the only one posting, but there are a few others
out there (with whom I'm in this argument) who are just watching for the
results. HA! DIE, RYN, YOU SOCIALISTIC EGOTIST!

Any replies will be taken seriously with a grain of salt...

(It is pretty obvious that you have no feeling for what this
newsgroup is or what to expect from it. Please indulge me
whilst I provide you with a sample of the character of this
group, and hopefully, in the future, you will confine your
comments to this vein)

Ahhhem....

Listen here dickhead, if you want to go talking politics, why not confine
your questions/comments/concerns to the appropriate news group. Something
like alt.political.eastcoast.liberal.establishment.LOSERS. Sheesh!
Daddy gives you a Tandy for your birthday and now you start to pollute,
what was until now, a group for open season on character assassination
or questioning the sexual proclivities of people who attend PSU.
Come on... GET A LIFE!

(get the picture?)

Well, I suppose, if you only ever ask dumb, geeky questions,
you'll get into trouble a lot. Yup. Seems to work every time.

A gee. Our new playmate gets annoyed when anyone challenges
any of his prejudices.
Life must be very hard.

it wasn't a Tandy, it was an IBM, and my daddy owns your daddy, so you
know where you can go, boy-o.

Besides, the sexual proclivities of the people at PSU are actually kind
of interesting. I mean when you think of all the farm animals up
there...

I ignored it, simply because it was addressed to a Mr. Hawkwind, and I'm
pretty sure I don't go by that name, and also because I try not to mess
with anyone who owns one of them Fucking Terminal 24/7s. I mean, those
Fucking terminals can really churn out articles! Besides he said I had to
be offensive, and I didn't feel like it, until...

Somehow, changing the subject line and the mesage id (and for that matter
changing the reference line to include some nonexistent article) just is
not enough to make me want to read it again. But it is enough to catch my
eye. so now I respond. I'll even try to be offensive a little, just so
that it is a Real Flame (tm)

So, gee. you want this Mr. Hawkwind guy to try to be somewhat offensive in
his posts, and yet all you do to try and get him to is explain to him how
he should be doing it. You didn't give him a decent example to work from.
How is he supposed to learn if all you do is whine like you tell him not
to?

> new god on the bboard
> hmmph
(almost forgot these extra added lines, ooh ah.)

There was this other question I had. I looked back through the thread, and
I couldn't find any mention of anyone being a new god. Now, I don't know
if maybe my isearch wasn't finding stuff right, or maybe the word god just
wasn't thrown around enough, but I was wondering where it came from, and
for that matter just what exactly it meant. Are you trying to say that
this Mr. Hawkwind thinks he is a god, or that you think he is a god, or
that you are a god, or that he thinks you are a god, or that you would like
him to believe you think he is a god, or what?

Oh, and one other thing. You mention a Mr. Hawkwind in your post. Now, I
happened to notice that the article you followed up was
From: j...@cci632.UUCP (John Thompson)
And so I was wondering whether you were responding to the right person,
especially since there was that god thing. There was this at the end of
the article you followed,
>> "And I, just took a ride on my Silver Machine, and I'm feeling mean."
>> -Hawkwind
but it looked like a quote and source to me. Silly, I know, but I just
figured if Hawkwind had written the whole thing, the quotation marks would
have been placed differently.

WHAMMO! (I love it!)

James, my man. You have just graduated from uncouth newbie
to knave. You are rapidly getting in the swing of things.

Special comment to all PSU'ers: I don't mean to come down
too hard on you folks. Certainly there are many who attend
PSU with a good deal of intelligence and intellect. I only
pick on you guys cuz most/some of the worst drivel seems to
come from that establishment.

jh5x+, my little chickadee.

The first line of your rejoinder would have been barely acceptable
as a counter flame, had the "all caps and double spaced" bit not
allready been around once before.

"get a clue and a life" is right up there with
"your mileage may vary" in the pantheon of hackneyed
usenet jargon.

tjarc, my little spud, you have just graduated from stupid dumbfuck
to incredibly dim stupid dumbfuck.

If you want to suck whoeverthefuckitwas' ass why not take

I'm amazed. That's the single most rediculous thing I've ever
seen posted here. My hat's off to you tjarc, you have sunk
EVEN LOWER than the dumbest lamest most inane the net has to
offer. PSU will HAVE to accept you now, just to keep their
standards intact.

I recently visited Penn State and it would appear that the state sport is
wild turkey shooting. They have as many wild turkey television shows as we
have hockey games. Being at State Center, PSU must be totally surrounded by
wild turkeys. This does not surprise me.

While I'm on the subject of animals, are you people familiar with the game
called "Hide the Hamster"? I'll bet T_d is. Intimately.

And the PSU bio professors are wondering where all the hamsters have gone...

PS. "Hide the Hamster" is also a song by the local thrash band, "The Dayglo
Abortions", so don't blame me, I'm just reporting the facts (as I see them).
