Actually, this is not even funny. This is just another load of manure from another "alternative" rag getting its jollies by poking fun at people who think for themselves rather than letting the TV do it for them.

Agreed. People are going to die in less than two weeks and some sicko still wants to make jokes about it. Pathetic.

The people on this Forum are the last people I would suggest thinking for themselves. They ought to stop being stupid and start listening to others. This forum is now dominated by weak minded, religious, back-to-nature wacko's.

One chick is worried about con trails. Another dude thinks he was hit by the Y2K bug because his iron man watch stopped. The majority of respectable commentators have become lurkers because they are embarassed by the retards that have started shouting their moronic heads off here.

Oh, yeah, and the guy who gets an Ad for a generator in his electric bill, and freaks out. And the wacko who takes Y2K opinion polls whenever he goes grocery shopping or when he goes to rent porno's.

Most of the people on this forum should return to watching Jerry Springer (or inquire about appearing on it).

If you don't like it here, leave. Nobody's forcing you to stay.

I guess I stay because I hope a voice of reason will emerge. But I sift through your garbage and find nothing of value. I guess I am an optimist. I think the contrail lady will suddenly grow a brain.

I still think this is one of the best sites. I do warn other people about trolls and pollys. I feel that the "gold to rock" ratio is about 5 to 1.

Yes there are nuts out there. Chemtrails and IRS. But the good info is here too. You just have to sort and remove the dross.

Yep, Whole Man, lots of strange birds here, there and everywhere. Sometimes someone pushes my button just right and I'm completely outraged. Most of the time, though, I accept the fact that a portion of society isn't and never will be reasonable.

The Onion kicks arse, John -- very funny writing.
