try posting it to some random story on /., see what happens.  

This sounds like it could be an interesting and productive experiment.  On second thought, probably just amusing to observe the strange groupthink that occurs there.

Who's dead now?

We have more white trash and (republican) group-think than you can shake a stick at.

Are you folks recognizing MLK's birthday as a holiday yet?

Also, your entire state, Phoenix, Sky Harbor airport, or some combination thereof appear to believe the US Terror Alert level is 'still on orange'. Or so I was told by a sceener there two weeks ago. Is this maybe to prevent black people from escaping from the airport and into your cities?

We do, indeed recognize MLK's birthday... (none / 0) (#9)

...but if you ask anyone about it; they make it sound like that's the worst thing to happen since Ruby Ridge.

No idea about the Terror Alert Level, but that would explain the constant swarm of Apache helicopters.

...I stopped reading in favor of comparitively content-rich goat.cx, isn't it?

.-=Welcome to the Vaginal Grid=-.


Goat.cx also has a greater diversity of opinions (5.00 / 2) (#3)
by Beef on Tue Apr 27, 2004 at 07:13:17 AM GMT

than /.

For example, on Goat.cx, they not only think that streched anuses are great.  They also think big dicks are great.  Diversity.  Unlike /.

Has anyone informed Michael Sims of this, for when he gets laid off?

Any post that disparages Perl, or suggests that PHP is better than Perl, is "Flamebait."
