No hope

I rarely watch the tele. Watched a "news"channel today. Decided America is doomed, y2k or not. Cluelessness permeates society.

It's posters like this author that hinder serious discussion on this forum. If we had to post our names in the subject box, then people who use foolish handles like "heeheehee" with an equally fony e-mail address, could be easily identified and their post rejected before some unsuspecting viewer takes it seriously.

Dear Arcy, I'm sorry, but I predicted more than 30 years ago what we have today. Because of this I've been punished too many times by ignorant and stupid people. What I foresee in our future makes me cry. I don't want to be castigated any more for my insights and for what I might teach because of my unbelievable experiences with humans.

Dear -----:

Please accept my apology for any personal put down. But, will you at least consider using an alias that doesn't imply that your'e a silly kid. And, perhaps you could get a "usa.net" free e-mail address so that folks can contact you privately. After all, I get hate mail too, but the ones that support my views far outweigh the others. Let me know if I can be of service.

Dear Arcy,

Please don't feed the troll.

Such are simply hoping for any reaction.......a sign that they are recognized. Best handled by ignoring them.

-- rocky knolls (rknolls@hotmail.com), September 10, 1998.


The penny has just dropped: why "troll"?

Of course! He's "trawling for complements", or any other sort of reaction. Say "trawl" with some common accents, and get "troll"!

Arcy

I'm glad to see that you're still lurking, I was worried about you. Sorry to hear that you get hate mail. As for me, "I love you man"

BTW, out of all the threads going on here, why did you respond to this goof? He cannot even spell his name the same way twice.

-- Uncle Deedah (oncebitten@twiceshy.com), September 10, 1998.


Is "trawling" making fun of southern accents? You gonna start shooting that ther uncivil war agin? :<)

Anybody out dere find a southern spell checker? How do you draw glasses in an emoticon? (On an emotican? Over an emotican? Through an emotican? With an emotican?)

You draw glasses like this: 8-) or if they are horn-rimmed B-)

From Hehehehahaha, Some of you walked right into the trap and have proved once again that so many are clueless. Probably yuppies and younger. How many of you have eaten cats peeled of road by your mother? Cooked it behind a locked door and fed it to her kids. How many of you had diphtheria, whooping cough, etc.? How many of you have lived without water, heat, toilet, shelter? How many of you have been bombed, shot at? I have. Can you teach me more? I want to teach because I was only a child when all of the above happened to me. It pains me greatly when I see any of God's creatures suffer. See what happens when you steal someone's childhood? He stays a child forever. Cheerios.

-- Headcheese (ignorant@superdumb.net), September 10, 1998.

If you want to teach, TEACH. Otherwise shut up.

Nobody here is responsible for your dubious claims of a tough childhood. Tough sh*t, a** h*le, many here have been there, done that.(with the exemption of eating cats, of course) Pull yourself up, and move on loser.

Getting kicked in the teeth by life is nothing new. It doesn't make you special.

Prove yourself worthy, grow-up, and join the living.

Pukes like you make me sick.

-- Uncle Deedah (oncebitten@twiceshy.com), September 10, 1998.



Dear Mr/Ms hehehe aka hehehehe:

You have experienced so many bad things in your life. Would you explain how and where you suffered so, and are still young enough to wish to enter a teaching career? Eating road kill, being bombed and shot at, not having a toilet, Are you perhaps African? South American? Tibetian perhaps. Do tell us. I for one would like to know.

Bill: South Carolina

-- Bill Solorzano (notaclue@webtv.net), September 10, 1998.


Uncle Deedah, I am sorry you are so bitter. I know you have good reasons. I'm not bitter. If I were, I would have self-destructed long ago. As long as you are in denial you certainly can't be taught and can't be happy.

Bill: South Carolina, This may surprise you, I am a white American. I would not care if I were black, green or purple. By the time I grew up I was stripped bare by 2 dozen lawyers. Then I became a slave.

Denialheads, Show your colors.

Sounds like Timothy Fonseca is baaaaaack!

-- God help us all! (herewego@again.com), September 10, 1998.

I agree with several of your comments (Clueless, no hope, doomed, slave, etc.) They apparently describe you and the sadness where you choose to dwell accurately. But I have no particular desire to associate with you, nor to continue listening (reading) any other drivel from you. There is ample mindless "politically corrupt" garbage being spewed from the mainstream media. Please bother them, not us.

You have my best wishes for whatever future you desire. My prayers are offered for you, the rest is between you and whoever you meet when you exit this life. Goodbye. Leave those of us who wish to best try to prepare ourselves and our families for a difficult but survivable and challenging future alone.

-- Robert A. Cook, P.E. (cook.r@csaatl.com), September 10, 1998.


Everything I have said about myself is true. Not one person has asked what he/she could learn from someone who has already experienced what may be ahead for some of us. Experience is the best teacher. Over and out.

-- ha ha drip drip drip (ignorant@nobrain.net), September 10, 1998.


Like I said, TEACH OR SHADDAP, or mayhaps such a delicate child as yourself needs a special invite.

"Over and out" leads me to think: Oh goody, someone sprinkled salt on the slug.

Shakespeare - Henry VI, part 2:

CADE I thank you, good people: there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers and worship me their lord.

DICK The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

CADE Nay, that I mean to do. Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment? that parchment, being scribbled o'er, should undo a man? Some say the bee stings:

Is there any hope when there are more people "working" in the Dept. of Agriculture building in D.C. than there are farmers in America?

Warning false Deedah alert- HEY YOU, YES YOU- show some originality and find your own name, this one was lovingly given to me by my young nephew before he could say much else. Please dont piss me off, I will hunt you down like a rabid dog.
