Who is this TK person, and did s/he not see what was going on before Y2K?


TinKerbell is just another "sheeted" doomer still stinging from its y2k wrongness. pissing about doc paulie not really being a doctor (gee I wonder who did that on Biffy?) stealing mother nachus line about laughing at the forum over coffee....etc etc.

Don't give this loser any more attention. it doesn't even have the guts to reveal its pre-y2k "handle". I wonder why? NOT


Maybe the reason the debunking got lost, or is so damn hard to find, was because of a little thing called the Millennium Contagion. I laugh when I hear simpletons like TK dismiss the issue of memetics. Most here know better, firsthand over a period of months and years that the issue of the Meme--WAS the Y2k issue when it is all boiled down.

TK is about as average a Meme as they come.


Shhhhhh. Quiet now. Very quiet. You can't see them. You can't feel them. But, if you listen oh so carefully, you know that they are there...

What?... But yes! Of course they are there! They have to be there! Jonathan has over five-thousand -- that's 5000 -- documents in his attic that prove it, and provably so. Sister Catherine has seen them, and knows that they are evil. Doc Paulie has demonstrated that they exist: Why, how else would he have have known, for an absolute fact, ahead of time, that Y2K would cause no problems? For lo, while the world did sleep in it's blissful ignorance of the Y2K non-menace, the de-bunkers saved the world from the non-menace by exposing ... The Memes!!!

But you must never, never, let up. You must always, always be vigilant. The Memes will come for you when you least expect it. They are but tools of the New World Order. They own the Government. They conspire to take your gold. They want to burn the papers in your attic. They live in embedded chips, waiting for when you go to sleep, so they can crawl out from your appliances. They come in your dreams...

But of all the memes, beware of the most dangerous: The Average Meme....


(Jeez, take a Friday off, and by Monday the nutballs have already got me figured to a "T", yes indeed. OK, what the heck. A little more paranoid wackiness won't hurt 'em...)

Here TK is one dude lacking any positive memes or a clue frankly.......Sharpton Hints at Presidential Bid

Unlike say Brittany Spears, Al Sharpton has a very unpopular meme surrounding him. Oh ya, no Memes, just two very talented and interesting people they are! Hahahaha

Why start a new thread?

The selected nutball comments that are at the start of this topic were spread across different threads, so it just seemed better to start a new one. Besides, this thread is where we can all explore the wonderful world of memes!

Wow! See there? You can have positive memes as opposed to negative ones. How absolutely fascinating! I am just learning sooo much!!

Oh, BTW, I guess you haven't read any of the articles re: memes, since you had no idea that there are good and bad ones.

I like this TK poster. He/she represents the 99% of the world who didn't bother to read or listen to the propaganda regarding Y2k. There REALLY are people who "tune it out", and even the folks who THINK they're fighting for one side or another on an issue "tune out" what offends them. Look at Charlie and the ANWR issue for an example of the latter.

"ESAD"...already heard it, Charlie.

OK, Jonathan, once again you have reasonable grounds to take offense. In the glee of laughing over the nutty stuff that others -- not you -- had written, I included your attic "treasures".

Sorry.

Pick and choose from the following collection. Eliminate the known pollies and the answer might pop out. Don't overlook the new spin of Dennis J. Blimpie and his mild mannered spin job here especially on his "heroic efforts to keep a family together" after the "baby available to Preppers only" effort.

Well, it's tough to have the "guts to reveal" my pre-Y2K handle when in fact I don't have one. Hard as it is to believe, I'm sure, I (and virtually everyone that I knew back pre-Y2K) really did not have much worries or fears about the Y2K bug. And, even more suprisingly to people on this board I'm sure, nobody that I know in real life seems to give a hoot since.

Much less that the Y2K bug would cause the end of the world. Or that the people who thought so were under the control of "bad" memes (rather than "good" ones).

I mean, you have got to be some kind of nut to believe that stuff, right?...

TK,

Most of us were concerned about Y2K when we first got into the issue, and for good reason. I, for one, always knew that the world wouldn't end, but there was always a possibility that broken software could hurt businesses and therefore cause economic problems. In short, there were reasons to worry about the problem if you work in the software industry.

Your last comment shows that you have never had any understanding of the issues involved, and therefore your opinion on the matter is utter bullshit.

Buddy has summarized the correct stance to Dunce TK. Your last comment shows that you have never had any understanding of the issues involved, and therefore your opinion on the matter is utter bullshit.

Msg to Anita re ESAD. YOU never heard anything you did not want to hear. That is natural for the single most self centered posted to this forum.
As for your ASININE post to another forum that "even though you lived a stones throw from Charlie you would be "too afraid" to meet me. BULL SHIT CUBED. You weren't too afraid when you asked me privately for advice about a personal problem AND NEVER FUCKING BOTHERED TO EVEN THANK ME for trying to help you.
Don't worry about meeting me. I would avoid such a dreadful waste of time.

repeat: ESAD.

Charlie: I think that you take YOURSELF and LIFE too seriously. I discuss my personal problems openly [as you well know, since you complain about it.] IF I discussed a problem with YOU [via E-mail], I'm sure I discussed the same with 15-30 others. It's pretty obvious to me that I didn't take your advice, or I WOULD have thanked you.

Heh. Regarding meeting you, the folks who asked me that question were your fellow debunkers, Charlie. When I said that I was afraid, they laughed and said, "I understand." [Now I feel like I'm picking on the "odd-ball" in 3rd grade, and I never even did that IN 3rd grade.]

It's fine with me that we never meet, Charlie. It's okee-dokie. You can post ESAD until you're bluer in the face, and in the largest font the forum will hold. Stephen told me that I was welcome here. I like HIM, and I'm not about to be driven off by some old guy who thinks he runs the place.

Oh, dear. Must chime in, though it's NOMB.

Charlie, I like you. I like Anita. But a contest to determine who is the most self-centered? You win hands-down. There isn't even a reasonable doubt.

Note that I don't feel it's necessarily a bad thing; it just is.

BTW, telling someone (anyone - especially a woman) to "ESAD" is quite un-Texas-like of you. It is, however, QUITE TexASS-like :-)

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled discourse.

No, that is the reply of someone born, raised and successful in NYC where money talks and Bullshitters like Anita walk.

In addition, Ms. Patricia, WHO is more worthy of self-adoration than MOI? Well earned self-adoration and admiration is hardly being "self centered". And I would doubt any of the de-bunkers could be accused of selfish interests vis a vis y2k matters other than the reward of self-satisfaction for puncturing the hot air balloons and dissipating the hog wash the Doomzies and Ignorant broadcast about the end of the world on 1/1/2000.

I ain't touchin' that one with a twenty-foot pole.

Nope, not goin' NEAR it. :)

Charlie, I said nothing of "self-adoration" (which you would ALSO win hands-down -- though I DO, in fact, find oodles wrong with THAT). I further said nothing about "Y2K".

I spoke of SELF-CENTERED which, in moderation, is a **very good thing** vis a vis self-esteem. However, when taken in Charlie-like doses, it can be extremely hazardous to one's health.

You, my dear friend, are borderline toxic in that area. YOU may well think it's "well-deserved". YOU may further not give a hoot what anyone else thinks. Having studied people for many, many years in real-life situations, I can tell you that is not entirely true REGARDLESS of what you "say" and what you believe you "think".

I have found that most people who brag as much as you do are usually (99.999999% of the time) pretty shallow, lonely and empty people. To compound the errors, they usually (99.999999% of the time) denigrate and debase others (e.g., "calling names") in order to raise their own self-esteem. You, my dear friend, appear to be the master of that. And I can assure you, whether you care what others think or not, that is NOT a good thing.

Only you know for sure what the truth is. If you can live with it, more power to you. But you do NOT have the right to treat people the way you do.
