[Terran]

Not so much the original proposition as the later commentary. I'm mad at myself for having actually participated in it.

1. Wow. That was reallly dumb.

Uh....anyone who says he/she "remembers" "Atlantis" needs to go on meds.

IT'S A FREAKIN' MYTH, PEOPLE!!!!

The right loooooves it when they see shit like this on DU.

5. Have you forgotten?

When our pillars went down, under the sea! Under the sea!

[RandomKoolzip]

6. I remember the ancient computers that wrre more advanced than

the ones we use now.

Hail Bilbo Gates, Viscount of Atlantis!

[DS1]

7. Ever since Intela got out of the granite semiconductors thing were

never the same. Stuff crashed. Gears broke. Our forefathers were doomed.

[RandomKoolzip]

9. You "remember" that too?

As I "recall," the Atlantis Board of Exchange crashed on X-Day. It was right around then that Giant Alien Nazis invaded the moon and the next thing you knew, all us Atlanteans were investing in Coral futures, for that is how we built our mining space ships.

II"R"C, there was a giant, white room with a central computer....

[Terran]

10. Yeah, I hate to say it, but...

This kind of thing "makes us look bad." Not that I really care that much, but it's just so much what the Freaks expect from Liberals, y'know?

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. Yeah, I gave it up as a bad job.

Attempting reason and logic was wasted effort there.

[youspeakmylanguage]

3. I nominate this one...

EDIT: Sorry, it would be better not to comment. You can see the mess for yourselves:

4. wow, that was a dumb one

I'm tired of participating in that sort of thing. People who really believe that they were once computer engineers on a lost continent aren't likely to be convinced of anything unless they want to believe it.

8. that stuff used to be restricted to the 'meeting room'

where the "I remember atlantis" crowd could frolick with the tree spirits and the fungus gods and the goat-horned entity that spins the world on its candy-cane axis and such. :eyes:

[TrogL]

12. Hey, don't knock until you've tried it

I've still got a crush on the great goat-horned one.

[kick-ass-bob]

13. Oooh I love candy canes.

:9

[Blue-Jay]

11. Baaahahahahaha!

geez.

[Skinner]

14. I deleted that.

And, for the record, that thread has been active for days and nobody bothered to alert on it. Next time, rather than starting a thread to draw everyone's attention to the kooky stuff, please consider clicking the alert link instead. Thanks.
