Also, could you stop putting REALLY fething BIG PICTURES everywhere instead of content?

I wasn't taking the piss, I was cracking a joke to lighten the thread up man.

Two posts about complete evil... I react quite strongly to that, but I cannot bring myself to just get up and scream every time mate.

Apologies if I have offended you.

As to the pictures, I hesitate to respond because most of the pics I put up are appropriate in my book, and I confine most of them to the OT forum at any rate. I am not exactly running around spamming images across all of the forums.

We do not seem to share a sense of humour then, I posted something I found unpleasant and serious, you ridiculed it and me (and my mother also). Anyway, you're not her type, I thought you would have gotten the point when she smacked you round the head with a broom handle and stole your keys...

Not like me. I take pride in my images.

I am at somewhat for a loss of werdz... hmm... macro time!




I took a look through my recent posts, and I think this is no more than a misunderstanding. I will take your perspective into more account when I reply to you in the future, on the note of images, they work well, and I am actually quite proud of some of my posts funny.

I'll let her do the talking then:

I really do wish these people very great harm. I wish the internet had a 'reach through the monitor and skullcrush' option.

Really, it's the internet. Get over it.
4chan is the Lord of the Flies of the 21st century. What happens when you put bored teenageers / tweens / geeks / dudes & dudettes in a completely uncontrolled and unfiltered enviroment.

It is like lord of the flies... I am actually surprised no one pointed that one out before.

4chan does seem to be mainly composed of younger people, and among younger people things tend to be rather dramatic and overtly tense/intense.

BTW, being 16+ I would expect a certain level of maturity, but after any experiences I had with school (and even college... facepalm) I hesitate to say that most kids are as mature as people would like to think. This may be purely U.S. but the amount of cultural segregation in places of learning is utterly astounding, but most colleges do not fall into this rhythm of bias, rather they expand on the interaction of people. That said... goddam college is expensive in the U.S. .

You're only 16+ Wrex? For some reason I had you pegged as 20+ or 30- or 25% or @#$%$#

Just saying that I am... unaware at times . Cool, I was wondering why I found it so odd to have deja vu.

. Yeah 16+ is a pretty good definition for me, some days I am like 90, some days I am like 21 (WOOT! BEER), others I am just @#$%$#...

Like a ninja... with a camel, and a parrot who talks way too much. Or a happy face trying to eat me... no, not the happy face, NOOOOO!!!

I wonder what kind of day this is? I am thinking it is a middle-aged crisis day, I seem to be having those ahead of my time. Odd really, but having multiple mid-life crisis's (crisis's... really, that sounds quite odd though, like elephant's's' or giraffe's's') seems to make a lot of sense, because my mid-life appears to be...

*end transmission*

'Crises' is the plural.

there are supposed to be mods, but they are few and far between.

As a pretty regular tha/TG/uy (or fa/TG/uy) I can assure you that if you maintain reasonable security (like surfing questionable adult sites) you'll probably stay virus free.

/b/ is pretty much the cesspool of internet anonymity you've been warned about, but it is going to be addictive for a while.

Buck up! This isn't your parent's internet. Here there be Freaks.
