    People's ignorance and stupidity on the web

    The wibbly wobbly web is probably the most wide reaching medium in human history. So what better place to post your stupidity and ignorance so all can see it.

    So come on guys and gals give us a laugh and post some of those wonderful quotes that end up as tag lines for peeps signatures. Here's my first from the Times comments section on a material called Aerogel.

    Yet another invention that claims to solve the world's problems but will fail in implementation.
    We can break the speed of light, but the speed of homelessness is way out of reach.
    How much money can be made is all that is ever thought about.

    I think we need to pay this lady a visit and find out how she made her flux capacitor!

    Re: People's ignorance and stupidity on the web

    Another one from the same comment section. It's like shootn' fish in a barrel.

    Is anyone asking where us dumb humans came up with this stuff? I mean, when is someone going to admit we developed space age technologies from our discovery of alien life???

    Mike, Orange County, USA/CA
    RE Mike,

    I agree, it's probably reverse engineering from something our government found.

    Ty, Edmond, OK
    Yep that's right Mike. Would you like some bacofoil?

    They just keep coming

    CO2 is a pollutant only when it is in the atmosphere as a gas, right? I can see many uses for this gel.

    Ricardo, Casper, WY
    Yay, lets remove all CO2 it's nasty stuff. I wonder if Ricardo knows what he breaths out or what plants "breath" in.

    Aerogel is just another way of saying "gimme gourds or gimme death!"

    max spilliane, boulder , colorado
    Yep you get the message out max let us all know after all we might not have known.

    There's a woman somewhere who passed a lie detector test that she lived with Elvis...

    Yes, Mike and Edmond have hit the nail right on the head - we're absolutely using reverse engineered alien techology. Erich Von Daniken was also right, human beings are incapable of inventing or developing anything without help from extraterrestrials. Sighs.

    Mind you, reading some of that stuff maybe he was right!

    Evil man will soon make sex-toys with it. Man inventions always turn to evil because man is evil. It won't "change the world" at all.

    Mac, HB, CA, USA, USA
    Damn those evil sex toys and their dastardly plan to take over the world and corrupt us all.

    All from Fundamentalists Say The Darndest Things - just the front page! Read 'em and weep:

    Fox News channel will probably lose the most to the Rapture, Then the Liberals will buy them out, easily at that time. And, there won't be talk radio any longer. I know not all conservatives are Christians. But, most evangelical Christians are conservative if they are in their right mind!
    Meanwhile, in Iraq:

    Wouldn't it be great if the troops were all handed out bibles as part of their protection gear?
    And finally:

    A few weeks ago a mans cell phone went off during the most critical part of the invitation. It may have distracted someone who was about to make a decision. I felt sorry for the guy, but his carelessness could have very well cost someone their soul.
    I know, it's bad enough in cinemas...

    Re: People's ignorance and stupidity on the web

    There is just far, far, faaaar, too many examples of these things for me to keep track of. I don't think I'm bright enough to spot the cleverest examples of stupidity, although, its mainly because I try to ignore most things I read on the internet, unless I am somewhere I know is frequented by actual fully formed humans. But there are some things that get stuck in mind. I just wish they didn't... Its mostly kids, but often I see stuff which is clearly not from a young kid, and it just makes me cringe... But anyway there are some things that got stuck in my head over the years (unfortunately):


    "I downlode ileagal stuff because I canot afford it. Why shud I not be able to have things I want just becoz I cant aford it???!"

    "WOW COOL HEY HOW MUTCH 4 THE FREE GIFT?"

    "ppl with cancor deserve 2 die because it servers them rite for smoking" (this was in response to somebody talking about prostate cancer)

    "-Is this going to go on forever!!?!?!
    -nah its in the second half now
    -but how many halfes are there?"

    "As a white person I am insulted by the article because even discussing black people and racism means you are highlighting the differences between races and that is wrong"

    "lamo dumass did ur baby drop ur mom on the head when u were a baby!"

    "WTFF TIS FU***NG GAEM IS GAY!!!!! I CARNT KIL TEH MONSTORS W/O A GOOD WEOPON AND I CARNT EVEN FIND A GOOD SORD BECOUSE THER R NON ITS REDICULOS GAY!!!"

    "HEY F*** YOU. U NED TO SHUT TEH **** UP!! I AM ENTITELD TO MY OPINION SO KEEP UR MOUTH SHUT"

    "19 yr old babe seeeks hot male. I like music, shopping, and sex. LF guy who knows how 2 please a girl and treat with respect and dosnt treat u like a sex object! x x x x"

    "i think paris hilton is my roll model"

    "godamit i cant stand all u whinors constantly whining about things!!!!!!"

    "its colder than being naked in iceland"



    etc... You can probably see why I try to block most of it out.

    Reverse engineered you say .............

    Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
    Enwrought with golden and silver light,
    The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
    Of night and light and the half-light,
    I would spread the cloths under your feet:
    But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
    I have spread my dreams under your feet;
    Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

    I get the felling that vloxy wasn't referring to some four year old experiment....but you never know, maybe she's just very, very obscure.

    JP - I found that fundies site the other day and it really is very far out. Sometimes I really do wonder whether there is hope for the human race. These people can also vote!

    We can also slow the speed of light to walking pace using a Bose-Einstein condensate.
