Well you know, secret cabals of corporate & government conspiracists aren’t the brightest bulbs in the chandelier. They always miss a detail here and there, so the rest of us can uncover their diabolical, yet inept conspiracies.

Dude, you’re way out of your depth here if you want to fight. But, please stick around until the free part runs out, you are entertaining, in a dim, clueless sort of way.

Except a gorilla’s penis is only about 4cm, not 1,250 feet. Even allowing for scale, King Kong would have – what? 40cm? About 12 to 16 inches? Still not much of a climb.

Given our ancient history and all the myths and legends of awesome battles, how little we know of our past, and all the hype about the Bible that _nobody_ saw this coming?

Men of science, our leaders, the people who blew up the WTC, the ones who went around burning ancient libraries to the ground so that we won’t remember, the ones who jailed Plato and forced his teacher to drink poison. Maybe some awesome event will come across and save us, but with the way we’ve been disrespecting nature, cutting down the forests, and fishing out the seas I don’t see it happening. I think everybody will run around cutting down trees for fuel and eating the last of the animals, so that there won’t be enough of anything for the cycle to continue.

Oh, I think you’re too hard on yourself. Your grammar isn’t that bad. At least, not when compared to your grasp of logic, history, and the application of basic physical sciences. Heck, from where I’m sitting, your grammar is about all you’ve got going for you.

Johnny you are such a tard. He never said his dick was as big, bigger or any way related to the size of King Kongs or any other ape. He said that his dick was so big they were going to use it in the movie. Now take your faux british ass back to MPSIMS.

Do tell. Last I checked, Math also required critical thinking skills.

Does that mean that your health is as bad as your so-called theories you’ve posted/regurgitated here or does that mean that your health is so good that it counterattacks the incredible level of stupidity you’ve evidenced?

That particular poster isn’t expanding his vocabulary, nor is he trying to come across _as_ an intellect. Unlike you, he’s quite familiar with the English language, not to mention critical thinking skills to boot.

You know, it’s feeling kinda cozy around here. I’m thinking about getting a subscription. It’s only 15 bucks, right?

It does. AP Calculus baby. It doesn’t require me to know “should have,” though. Maybe I should of grown up outside of Texas?

Damn, are those my only two options? Ummm… the latter. Wait! Well… yeah. Too much youth and health. My nuts gettin’ to my brain and all. I can’t help myself.

How much critical thinking does it take for someone to conclude the end of the world is coming? Well… shit. It took a lot for me, ok? After a good 4 years of thinking about “it all” I finally came to that conclusion, mmmkay? It really did require a lot of thinking, which is why I’m not jumping down your throat that you can’t see it, too.

😛 I figure its only a matter of time as the guy actually seems to be trying to get banned.
(btw, if posting this is a violation let me know…it just struck me as too funny to pass up. I don’t want to piss off the Mods though or cross any lines…I actually LIKE it here and want to stay. 🙂 )

Feel free to subscribe. If I may offer some constructive criticism, you might want to adjust your tone slightly. I’d hate for you to throw your fifteen into the pot just to get banned on the quick.

I believe that the critical thinking comment was in reference to your belief in conspiracy theories and other crackpottery (Crackpottery? Better practice more)

Four years of thinking is not that long of a time. You’re eighteen if memory serves. Why not wait a few more years yet before arriving at any conclusions.
