Boy Finds £2.5M Gold Locket With Metal Detector

Instead of bottle caps and ridicule from his peers, 3-year-old James Hyatt found a locket worth millions with his metal detector. James and his dad found the gold locket last May in Essex. Since then the 500-year-old treasure has been appraised at around £2.5million. From the article: "James’s father Jason, 34, said: ‘My son is one of the luckiest people ever. If we go to the doctors he’ll put his hand down the side of the sofa and pull out a tenner.’"

"Wow, you're really mad at space enthusiasts, are you?"

Not mad, more like perplexed. Adults should be more realistic.

"What happened, loserboy? Did the jock who beat you up and swirled you in high school become an astronaut?"

Doubt it. Those kind of people don't go far. You are probably referring to the people who beat up nerds like me in high school? Like when I did my presentation on the Saturn V with my scale model?

"The girl you lusted after (and who had a restraining order filed against you) ended up marrying him?"

Wow, you really are reaching here, very overactive imagination.

"Do people you know admire this spacefaring überjock who made your insignificant life miserable?"

I'm doing fine, and no one I know admires any spacefaring uberjocks, since there's no such thing and most people classify manned space exploits as boring, tired decades-old stunts that serve no real purpose.

"And now, after mopping up floors all day (which is the only job available to unskilled loserboys like you), do you feel the bitterness rising as you jerk off your wizened cock to kiddie scat porn, silently cursing the people who put you down by simply being better?"

All this from making fun of decades-old ideas about mining asteroids? Fascinating.

"Well, keep in mind that it takes absolutely no effort being better than you by any measure"

Yet considering the effort you put into that troll... Or does that type of response come naturally to you?

"But your life must be horrible indeed: have you considered suicide?"

Hmmm. You seem to have experienced severe trauma as a child. My severe trauma was believing in sci-fi delusional nonsense as a 13 year old and arriving at adulthood understanding the implausibility of all the complete nonsense that surrounds space. I just want people to understand that there will be no space-based solar power, no asteroid mining, no Mars colonies. Even if we could afford these things financially and energetically, they simply make no sense.

Not news worthy

Why is bandwidth being wasted on inherently ethnocentric individuals such as these. For Science's sake, they're WHITE! Even worse than that, these might eat various forms of pork, drink nasty warm sticky stuff with various forms of pond life therein and even play rugby league for fuck's sake! However, if these were aggressive YouTube(R) using atheists, all would be forgiven.
