(MOD NOTE: I moved your post from GQ to The Pit because, frankly, there wasn’t a question in there at all and nothing in your ramblings seemed to fit any of the categories. Also, we usually use less than three pages to write a post. Thank you.)

Nitpick, because that confused me for years, not knowing how how long a league was. It’s a journey of 20,000 leagues while underwater, not a descent to a depth of 20,000 leagues, which as you say would be impossible.

Thread title: Is this an over-reaction?

Originally posted by Cain
I’ve got this friend, who had to pay rent to his landlord. He payed by cheuque, but the friend’s brother was living in the same set of appartments, and payed by cash. The land-lord didn’t exactly get stroppy, but they did make a point of praising the brother. So my friend killed him - the brother I mean. This isn’t over the top is it? The land-lord was being way passive-aggressive, and the brother was just playing right into it. It had to be stopped.

In which I Pit God Win for Closing All Of My Threads in Great Debates

What’s you problem, Dude! Every time I enter a thread you close it declaring that the debate is essentially over. Really, this is how an admin is supposed to act, my mere presence is enough to kill any debate. COME ON!! This is really lame.

God Win
Moderator’s Note:
I am closing this thread as there is no more serious debate to be had.
