I've never seen so many old cranks in any other NG. What is even more
interesting is that one can discern from the posting time of responses that
most of you old mos must spend a large part of your day posting to this NG.
I guess being on "disability" give you a lot of time and posting here gives
you something to do.

It's pitiful, but entertaining.

Is anybody here under 60 years old?

Whacky Zacky, what age group are you in and how many nyms do you use?
When I was a young man, I did get impatient sometimes with old folks
until I realized I would be in that situation someday. Because of that,
I was never mean to old folks and the disabled. As a matter of fact I
did what I could to help them when I saw they were having a problem
getting around and I continue to do it even though I'm disabled myself.
Up until a few years ago, I could carry their groceries for them but now
I can at least hold a door for someone who's in a wheelchair or using a
walker which is something I've had to use before. Whacky Zacky,
you're quite the pyrogenic posterior sphincter as proven by your
attitude and disrespectful behavior toward the aged and disabled. I
would tell you to consume excreta and expire but in your case, that
would be akin to cannibalism. I have my doubts that you'll survive to
reach the age of me and many of the people who post to this group due to
the unhealthy habits and addictions you share with those of your ilk who
are some of the nastiest cretins I've ever met. Whacky Zacky, I don't
think you'll make it to 60 and you'll be lucky if you reach 50. I
certainly won't be around to witness your decline into poor health and
what will probably be dementia because of the brain damaged caused by
your consumption of recreational chemicals and your inhalation of the
toxic byproducts of combustion from several plant species. It's very
satisfying to me to know that you won't reach the age of those you
disparage and treat with so much disrespect. Karma is a bitch ain't it? ^__^

A couple in the past week. I think this is the guy NE of Wichita, KS,
that used sand paper to clean paint off his window with sand paper. He
posted under Google and today under his ISP.

The OP can confirm that. If he lives off of Highway 77, north of El
Dorado sp. East of Wichita.

You asked this a few weeks back. Are you that lame as to have to use
the same troll every month? Did you already forget this has been
asked? By the time you are 60, you will be so pathetically brain dead
you will post this every day.

One of these days, I've got to write about how
all churches have part of the truth, and how
a lot of people leave other churches and join
LDS church. Right after I find what I did with
my breakfast. It was right here, under these
empty dishes.

| I've never seen so many old cranks in any other NG.

I have. I find the crowd here to be mostly intelligent
and courteous. Many of the tech groups I've visited
have a high population of what I'd call unsocialized geeks,
who tend to be mean-spirited, close-minded, and barely
literate. I recently decided to check out philosophy groups,
but ended up dropping them because even when someone
posted a coherent, interesting post, most discussion tended
to degenerate into "atheist mania". (I never knew "atheists"
were such an irrational, steamed-up bunch. They hang around
in the philosophy groups, awaiting any opportunity for a
bilious outbourst about their inflamed belief that they don't
believe anything.

| Is anybody here under 60 years old?

I am, but just barely. I find that an interesting point.
I think the people in most newsgroups are mostly older.
The baby boomers know the Internet as a public information
and sharing medium. Younger people have grown up in
a commercial culture. They spend their youth in commercially
owned shopping malls and live their social lives hosted by
corporate service companies like Facebook. For the most
part, these are people who have no experience of citizenship
in any part of their lives. They know themselves and others
as "consumers". They go online to "consume" services from
Facebook, Foursquare, etc, in lieu of a social life.

I find the whole thing both fascinating and scary.
Newsgroups are a simple, text-based conversation medium
that can provide help in almost all areas of life, yet their
"unofficial", non-commercial nature -- the fact that the
participants pretty much make the groups what they are --
makes them virtually invisible to people who live as
consumers.

And what about you? Surely you must have something
*useful* to contribute? Are you handy? Do you have skills
that might be helpful to others? Do you need any help
with handyman issues?

It's an interesting mix of people. Add to the
mix, the web portal folks who have no clue what
Usenet is. Spammers who want to sell vinyl windows
in Detroit, and the occasional flamer.

Good post and reasonably accurate, I would judge.

One point, not all atheists - or believers/acceptors - are irrational. I've
been an atheist for 65 years and I, for one, consider myself to be rational
and I don't care what others believe. If that is a bilious outburst, so be

If you don't convert to Mormon, I may
send people out to ring your door bell.
Then, you'll be sorry.

All that discrimination by Muslims against other religions is OK
according to P.L.L.C.F. because they believe everyone must kiss Islamic
ass. I think they're worried they'll get beheaded if they insult Islam.
Of course they can disparage Christians all day long because they know
that Christians won't kill them for insulting Christianity. o_O

There seems to be somewhat of a movement happening:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Atheism
http://archive.wired.com/wired/archi...1/atheism.html

I hadn't really noticed until I saw the posts of the people
in the philosophy group. I think most of the people I know
are either atheists or can't even be bothered to think about
it. We've become a country of "scientific materialists" or
"concretists". (It's hard to even come up with a name because
the view that religion is mostly irrelevant has become an
unconscious assumption in the mainstream.) But the atheist
"movement" seems to be essentially a new religion that sees
itself as standing against the oppression of organized religions.
They feel a need to actually assert what they view as rational
thought, forcefully rejecting all possible realities or aspects
of reality save for the basic knowledge that can be confirmed
by scientific observation. Ironically, they seem to be vehement
and thoroughly irrational in their attitudes, very much like a
fundamentalist religious cult. The cult of scientism.

Seems silly to me, a fruitless endeavour that has virtually zero chance of
success (success being changing someone's mind) because those of opposite
view are operating on faith.

If the investigator prays to know if the
message is true, and the investigator gets
the yes answer, then it's possible. I like
to think that all churches have some
portion of truth. When Jews accept Christ
as saviour, that's adopting more truth.
When Bible readers accept the Book of Mormon
and join LDS, that's even more truth. A lot
of people leave other churches and join LDS.

Zaky Waky:

I'll agree with Mayayana on that. Don't tell him I said this, but one of the exceptions that Mayayana may be referring to is a fella that posts under different aliases, but mostly goes by the name "HomeGuy". You may find him hard to get along with because he seems to enjoy denegrating America and all things American. From what I've been able to gather, he feels his justification for doing so is that in 2008 the US Housing Mortgage crisis almost destabilized the world's banking system and sent a lot of national economies into a defensive mode whereby they stopped trading in US mortgage-backed securities with other national economies for fear their economy would be damaged too.

Personally, I think this is very unreasonable of him because no one in this forum had anything to do with that mortgage fiasco, and if anything, the Americans in here suffered as much if not more than he did because of their property values plummeting as a result of the glut of empty houses that flooded the real estate market at the time as a result of people not being able to meet their mortgage payments. It would be like the Americans in here blaming me (another Canadian) for the fact that Justin Bieber was speeding through the streets and avenues of Hollywood in a rented Lamborghini. If it was up to me, I'd take that toy away from him, but it isn't up to me. Similarily, it wasn't up to any of the Americans in here to sell teaser mortgages to people that couldn't remember if they had a job, and if so, where they worked. And, that was pretty well what caused that mortgage fiasco; the US selling US mortgage backed securities world wide when they knew that the mortgages weren't worth the paper they were printed on. Still, the Americans in here were as much victims as anyone else in that regard.

You can usually tell HomeGuy's posts because they start off citing something some American did somewhere which is deplorable in one respect or another, and he then claims that such behaviour is typical of what to expect from Americans in general. For example, if some Yank chops the head off a rooster and leaves it's carcass in the street to rot, then it's the Americans IN HERE that he holds accountable.

But, don't tell HomeGuy I said that. We'll just keep it between ourselves, OK?

most of you old mos must spend a large part of your day posting to this NG.
I guess being on "disability" give you a lot of time and posting here gives
you something to do.

It's pitiful, but entertaining.

Is anybody here under 60 years old?


You want answers? That's who to ask. Not the little twenty-something
geeks who live in Mom's basement, have their nose plastered to a game
box, and whose hearing is gone from wearing ear buds at max volume.

They can fix nothing. They just buy another, or better yet, let Mommy
buy it for them. They are sitting home after a six year bender called
college, where they came away with a degree in ancient Greek pottery,
and are waiting for an answer to the two resumes they sent out asking
for $80,000 starting pay with benefits and retirement.

They can't weld, they can't tell you the wrench size between 1/2 and 5/8
inches, and don't know a #2 from a #3 Phillips screwdriver. Lucky for
AAA or we'd have many thousands of deaths each winter from their ilk
freezing to death after sitting in an idling car until the gas ran out
wondering what to do about a flat tire.

Talk about pitiful? And you are definitely are entertaining, too.
Getting several twenties out of your pocket for a repair job that took
me less than fifteen minutes actual work time. Or thousands for a
simple sheetrock or tile job.

Now, go check, and make sure you closed the basement door, and be sure
to remember where Mom hid the secret key for you in case you get locked out.

Not sure. His brother was a Sergeant on the force. The younger one on
the force failed the Sergeant test. Neighbor (Metro retired) said
yesterday the younger one swallowed his gun barrel.

Be really careful when farting. I never heard the word shart until a
few years ago, and never thought I'd be old enough to do it. Thinking
it's a little fart, and it's really a quart of liquid under high
pressure will sure put you in a socially uneasy situation.

Sigh. Well, it had to happen, that someone
reduced the quality of the NG a bit.

I'm remembering a secret ops project called
"Who, me?" during world war two. Hmm. Not sure
if I still have the book that mentioned that.
I think it was an OSS project.

Amazing, it's on the web. I thought it was
targetted to Japan.

And be aware of farting in your sleep.

I'm an old fart. I smell, move very slowly, leave residue and don't go away.

Well, sonny, I'm so old that Moses used to
ride his bike across my lawn, and I had to
go out and yell at him about it.
