--as gullible as a modern White man!
(<http://www.io.com/~gibbonsb/mencken.html>)
How is it that so many White people, who are in so many respects otherwise fairly smart and reasonable... will tolerate almost anything... feed anything and everybody, most especially their current and future deadly enemies... and believe... seemingly anything? Methinks mebbe only a surfeit of comfort, and boredom, can begin to explain such a paradox.
Why don't we, instead of wasting our time, proving how astonishingly clever we are by responding to every single, pathetic, peurile troll, every time, start new threads of our own that are better-- productive, even? (It's not like it'd be hard to do.) At the very least we might learn to simply ignore the voluminous effluence of persistent piffle. Feed it and it multiplies. (Just a suggestion!)
Not one word, one second of far too much of what gets posted here is worthy of what we are--or certainly, at least, want to become. Now, a good deal certainly elicits a good guffaw, and that is often worth a lot, but, all kidding aside, "whatever organism [forum, race, planet, etc.,] fails to excrete its waste products, dies!" We don't need censorship-- but we DO need DISCRIMINATION. Unless of course you are content.
Time is the stuff that life is made of... and life is what you make of it... isn't it?
