"Government As Good As It Gets" Bonehead Award

St. Clair County, Illinois, spent $330 million dollars for a new airport that no airline was interested in using. For one year, the airport was kept in operation for 12 hours per day, staffed with 27 employees, and a full fire crew and maintenance staff. In that entire year, neither a single passenger nor even one plane used the airport. $2.5 million in upgrades were approved for the second year, even though airlines continued to express no interest in the airport.

We're supposed to get a lot of it this weekend though, so that's some consolation.

It's not trolling if you're rating down something you disagree with.


Actually that is the defenition of trolling. You rate some one day if they say something offensive or are just being plain stupid.

Thats like saying Im going to rate you down because you hold an opinion on something that I dont agree on. You dont rate people down for opinion, you rate people down when they make a thread about gilsellers, bots, **** and moan threads, etc....

The rating system on this site is highly misunderstood, as Zadiel mentioned.

You don't rate down people you disagree with. That's just ridiculous. You rate down idiocy.

Face it, you live in a world where your opinion is one in 6 billion. Some people will agree with you, others will not. What sepererates people is how you handle the difference in opinion.

The civil way to do things is to acknowledge the fact that the person your speaking to has an opinion different from yours. You may change your opinion upon realizing that this person seems to be on the right track, or you may disagree with his opinion and state your own. All the while, never showing hostility and never belittling the person you speak to, thus creating what we labled a "discussion." Afterwards, you shake hands, and call it a day. In reference to the forums, you would either not rate this person at all or rate this person up for showing such a civil manner of showing his/her point of view AND possibly the quality of the post itself is terrible.


On the other hand, there's a barbaric way of handling things. You disagree with the person's opinion, and not only do you show it, but you beleive that this person is a moron for disagreeing with you. You offend him. You even show signs of violence if he/she doesn't come into submission to your beleifs. Forum wise, someone presents their idea, and even though it's well written, you immidiatly rate that person down, simply because you feel that he/she should be your psychological twin when it comes to thoughts.


Then...you have the dude that runs around wearing a turban and yells "Vanilla Coffee Bean" all the time. You don't poke at him...what's the point? You just ignore him. In relevance to the forum, this dude is spamming nonsence or being dumb with a "omgwtf!" type of thread. You rate him down until he's sub default...JUST the original post, and clean the forum of filth.

Then...here's that same dude again...still yelling "Vanilla Coffee Bean"...for whatever his reason. You poke at him...why? Who knows. You anger the silly turban man, and now he's yelling something about a "Mocca", and his turban is dirty. You then pick fights with other people that decided to poke at him as well, and all hell breaks loose. Relevant to the forums, dude makes a dumb thread, and instead of just rating him down and leaving it alone, you post something witty, AND rate EVERYONE ELSE who did the same thing YOU did! Or maybe your the smart one that decided not to post anything, but attack everyone that posted something witty, as if accomplishing something?



So now comes down to the dreadful question:

Are your a civilized human being, or a barbarian?

Speaking of trolls.. Kinda annoying when I get rated down when im trying to help people.. I wish my little karma troll would stay away from important subject threads. (i know people hate this little "Inquisition" but the inquisition stops when I am using my knowledge of the game to assist someone.) Then once i begin being a jackass again then u can rate me down!
Thank you squishy /hug!

A man who only spoke Greek came to America for the first time. He realized that he needed to learn English, so he took a class. When questioned by his teacher, "How do you spell fish?" he replied "g-h-o-t-i".

The teacher was very surprised as to how he could get such an answer since he was learning English so well. He asked the man, "How did you get that answer?" When the man replied, the teacher accepted his answer with a chuckle. What was his answer?

I was told that there was some Britton in the 17th century who's characters were all named with common words spelled strangely, like Dr. Ghoti. Unfortunatly, I don't remember his name or any of his other characters.

Do chickens have nipples?


Of course not, only mammals have nipples. The Principa Discordia tells us of the creation of nipples!

Principia Discordia wrote:
Long ago, the Earth was barren of life. Eris and Aneris looked upon it and saw that it was boring.

"Yawn," Eris yawned. "Aneris, My sister, the Earth is truly uninteresting. Let's liven it up somehow." Eris, the Goddess of Chaos, was always eager to disturb stable systems.

"I like it this way, Eris." Aneris, the Goddess of non-Chaos, was much more conservative. "Boring things are more orderly."

"Aww, pleeeeease?" Eris was not above whining.

There was some arguing back and forth, and eventually They came to an agreement that They would bring forth life to alleviate the boredom. So Eris and Aneris descended upon the Earth.

"Let there be life!" said Aneris, and there was life. Plant life. Ferns. Trees. Mushrooms. Lichen. Aneris looked about and said, "See! It's much more colorful now."

Eris sighed. "You call this life? It's almost as boring as before! These things just grow and die and wave in the wind. Here, let Me try." And Eris lifted up the clay from the ground and formed it into the shape of an ant. She blew upon it and it scurried off to build a hill.

"Animals? Sure, We can make some of those." And Eris and Aneris began to create animals. First They created the simpler animals, like the insects and worms and such. Then They went on to the reptiles and birds and such. Finally, They started on the mammals.

By this time, They had a pretty good system going. Aneris would create the female animal, then Eris would come along and create the male. When Aneris made the first female mammals with fur and nipples, Eris saw a chance to have some fun. As She made the furry male mammals, She gave them their own, useless, nipples. Aneris looked over at Her sister every once in a while, but since the fur hid the nipples She didn't see anything but Eris's wide smile. Aneris, naturally, got suspicious... She knew from experience that Eris could not be trusted when She was smiling. (Or at any other time, for that matter.)

Shrugging, Aneris started creating the first woman. She made her after Her own image, with heavy hair on her head but not as much elsewhere. And She gave women nipples, which were quite visible from the lack of hair.

Eris followed along, creating the first man. She gave him hair on his head, and not as much elsewhere. And She gave him the same useless nipples all the other male mammals had. Aneris looked over and saw what had happened.

"Wha-at?!", Aneris screamed. "Have You been giving all the male mammals nipples all this time?"

Eris just doubled over, laughing.

"Damn it, Eris, whenever We make anything You always do something weird like this! Can't You take anything seriously?" Aneris sighed as Eris shook Her head no. "Well, I can at least cover this up a little," Aneris muttered, and She put hair around men's nipples. "There, now you can't see them so much." And Aneris rested, while Eris continued to roll on the floor.

So to this day men have nipples, which are merely emphasized by the hair around them. Hail, She what done it all!


So no, chickens do not have nipples.

/ja {Hijack} Thread
...
and 15 minutes later i see this FFXI Forum Xeno-Inquisition thing in someone's sig and what do i find? this amazing gem! my cross-server siblings!! because of that inbreeding thing we're probably all related anyway, which is why i suspect some of us have been doing this independently for a while. so uh yeah Kudos you bastards.

Ironically, everytime you hijack a thread or post off-topic discussion in a thread you may have seen discussed too many times, then you, yourself, are trolling. That's really what the whole FFXI thing advocates (or advocated): trolling threads. :)

Just because the older members have seen a thread dozens of times does not mean that newer members have had a chance to actually discuss it, for better or worse.

And now I'm being rated down for explaining why you're all getting rate downs. :)
