He filled up sooooo many pages of tabloids and sooooooo many minutes of air time with the stupid and titilating activities that he practiced, the media feels that they have lost a major "meal ticket". They would feel the same way about Brittany or Paris. If they weren't doing something stupid, vulgar or crass would the media really care about any of them?

This is a really interesting experience. Seeing how the Internet carries all these sentiments forward so quickly, seeing how it becomes self-perpetuating and leads to some people (who might otherwise be "normal", whatever that means) publicly calling yesterday "The Worst Day in World History".

It's difficult to respond to such a statement, except by saying that by making it, the commenter reveals more about themselves than about the rest of the world. Friday the 26th of June, 2009 was in no way, shape or form the worst day in world history.

Once this communal reaction dies down, it is to be hoped that some people honestly question why they would make such statements, commenting on the passing of an individual personally unknown to them.

Status: offline 		As my Hungarian refuge philsophy professor used to say "Don't confuse me with facts". I agree Kristian, it's interesting , but I'm pretty sure that it's a result of empty lived people "wanting to belong". If you hear 99 people speaking well of someone, group think mentalities push you to not only want to join in , but indeed "go one better". Soon people run out of supurlatives and crap like "the worst day in history" creeps in. Any rational person will look at such inane dribblings as just that. But a person in the "group think thrall", will say "how true" and try to contribute even greater tripe. I've never had any desire to be a psychogist (suffering through two semmesters of it in college) , but having spent a great deal of my life (mostly time not in uniform or working in museums) trying to sell stuff to people who really don't need it. (From goldfish to houses) I see it in action every day. While we may shake our head at such insanity , we do have to recall that it's the stuff that keeps capitalist society going ("mom, I REALLY NEED that ....whatever...EVERYONE else already has one!".

Why not? Maybe a recruiting tool? Or a place to have or continue discussions that "we need to take somewhere else"? Or a place to contact people after bannishment (ask Dixie about this).

So what you are saying is that you'll find "the English", but not "British".....implying that the Scots,Whelsh and Northern Irish were slackers! (The English are kind, the English are good"......).

The children will sleep happier....and perhaps safer. Dare I suggest it?....Unmolested?

Why not start a Short scenario WITP PBEM , with the option to upgrade to AE when comfortable (having flogged the AI suffiently)? Hint, Hint.....I think I might know an available opponent.

I just saw a comment on CNN.com to the effect that yesterday was "The Worst Day In World History"... It's scary to think that there are people out there who actually believe that sort of garbage...



You have to be joking. Someone really made that comment ? Supposedly related to the deaths of 2 entertainers ? Did I miss Nuclear Exchange where hundred's of millionsdied ?
Good grief.


Unfortunately, I'm not joking...

Perhaps we could mount him like Lenin, I know a couple good taxidermists.

Indeed a black day for much of the world; or maybe a white day; more likely a gray day with 2 coats of white latex; or perhaps just an androgynous day.

But thank you CNN for verifying, once again, the concept that most humans should indeed eat their young.
