      I'd give you mine but, well, I've spent the last several minutes on 4chan. You probably don't want it now.

      Wait commodore64, I am a Christian, and I don't think a person should not have the freedom to smoke cannabis or be naked in his own home. Remember, many people call themselves something they are not with the intention of poisoning the well.

      L. O. Fucking. L.

      I don't know if that was meant to be a joke, but you owe me a new keyboard. Now excuse me, I have to go wash coffee out of my eyebrows.

      You, sir, are a saint, to offer your eyebrows to a stranger like that. Whatever you've got in them will just help them stick better. Kudos to you!

      That's why a gay man or woman cannot get married

      Sure they can. My girlfriend was married to a guy for 14 years before she met me. ^.~ (turned out he was actually a she, and was into guys, though, lol....) Her kids have no problem calling me Mom, either.... Oh the joys of kow-towing to the religious moral authority, and the pain it causes in peoples' lives... my partner and her ex are both much happier now.

      A relokgious perdson deserves about as much respect as a member of the KKK.

      I do feel the need to point out, though, that this statement is wrong, and probably somewhat offensive. There's absolutely nothing wrong with choosing to adhere to a faith, or to a religion, as long as you recognize that as a choice. And yes, I do feel that there's a distinction to be made between a Faith and a Religion. The question isn't so much what you believe, it's how you apply those beliefs, and how you treat others. A huge number of people experience a deeply spiritual and religious life without ever foisting those beliefs on those around them. As far as I'm concerned, there is exactly one rule that actually matters: do no harm. As long as you follow that rule, you have a right to believe whatever sits well with your conscience.

      (and I should point out that I consider evangelism to be doing harm... if Yahweh wants to send me the word, there's a perfectly good bush in the back yard for him to set on fire... though I'm equally bothered by evangelical atheists, too. Live and let live, yeah?)

    They fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The best known is "never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against 4chan when LOL's are on the line!"

    4chan was taken down when a bunch of /b/-tard script kiddies handed over control of their LOIC programs to some Anonymous person on the internet, not realizing that 4chan was the target.

    So now that the asshole of the internet is down, perhaps we can all piece together whatever is left of our lives and move out of the basement.

    4chan is a fine site if you're on the right boards. /m/ is probably the best Japanese robots resource on the Internet, /tg/ is an excellent resource for DMs to discuss their latest campaigns and have made enough contributions to various games that some of it has even leaked into official canon (Warhammer 40,000 for example).

    While I agree -most- of 4chan is a shit hole, don't discount that it's many small communities under one banner. Everyone outside of /b/ hates /b/, people just think /b/ is 4chan, which is like saying the BNP is Britian.
