    I don't trust anything that quack said about survival. What did he know about survival? He's clearly not an expert on it.

    Social Media - A platform that makes it easier for the crazies to find each other. Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

      I guess if everyone toes the line, and doesn't make any noise, than everything is alright. :sigh: If that is the case, then shoot me now.

        So what? Allow the snowflakes to have their heart attacks. Darwin. Survival of the fittest. If they miraculously survive, it will only show that their outrage is fake and just a means to silence others.

        Excellent. Let's call it the WOMbox[^] then.

        I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

        Maybe that applies to sub-forums. Sub-forums that "do well" survive and sometimes reproduce (such as GIT spawning from the Lounge perhaps?). Sub-forums that aren't used much or attract trouble die.

                    True. He did not state at all what traits may make you fit for anything, nor which do not. Anyway, the poor little snowflakes seem to be breeding like rabbits.

                      But it still died, so those considerations apparently don't raise the fitness enough.
