[sub]I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist.  
I am ashamed.[/sub]

BTW, the fastest way to find accurate information is to post inaccurate information on the SDMB. Someone will correct you in record time.

“Belgians, left-handed people, and those who misuse apostrophes should get the hell out of the United States. And kittens and puppies should be deep-fried and sold as snacks at state fairs.” – LudditeAndroid, in July of 2003

(I’m not sure if this quote is genuine. If it’s real, this post is worth making.)

Everyone has a bunch of fools/assholes in their group that make the rest of them look bad.

Do you think your average Republican is happy to see the garbage that **december** doles out day after day?

Do you think your average Democrat doesn’t cringe when they see **elucidator’s** latest foam-flecked rant against the current administration?

And I, persoally, want to tear the head off of every Athiest out there who feels to need to protest any time he walks past a church or a copy of the Ten Commandments. Maybe I’m just particularly secure in my beliefs or something, but I’m fairly confident that walking past my millionth copy fo the Ten Commandments isn’t going to forcibly brainwash me into becoming a born again…

What sort of dipping sauces would the kitties and puppies come with?

Don’t let him fool you! It’s just catsup and terrieryaki mixed together!

That’s some nice lurking there, **ThumperDude**!

**LudditeAndroid** , don’t post knowingly false information on the SDMB. Re-read the registration agreement, as you apparently skipped it the first time.

Also, you seem to think this forum is meant to “bait” people. It is not. Baiting people isn’t allowed anywhere on the SDMB, and continuing to do so will get your posting privileges revoked.

This thread is closed.
