Smile and Back Away Slowly |
OT: What percentage of Usenet posters do you think are certifiable
kooks? Specifically, posters that could be diagnosed with some form of
mental disorder if they were examined by a psychologist?
Im my opinion it seems like it has to be at least %20.

Usenet is an evil invention of the devil. Psychiatry is also.

I would say a much lower number, my brother is a very well known "kook" in a
few other groups.
It's just a game to him, he says and does things online he would not do in
real life. He and I have almost opposite views but in our discussions he
acts nothing like he does in news groups.
I think it is similar to road rage, people say and do things behind the
wheel of a car that they would never do face to face. Some act the same way
behind a keyboard.

Even today I am willing to volunteer to do the dirty work for Israel, to
kill as many Arabs as necessary, to deport them, to expel and burn
them, to have everyone hate us, to pull the rug from underneath the
feet of the Diaspora Jews, so that they will be forced to run to us
crying. Even if it means blowing up one or two synagogues here and
there, I don't care. -- Ariel Sharon, interviewed by Amos Oz (published

effects / ***** up something else / Youre ensnared by the medicine man /
Paying up the ***** / Again and again / Gonna rip you off /
Trust your mechanic to mend your car / Bring it in to his garage / He
