Wow, a lot of vehemence yesterday! College classes must of let out early. Doesn't seem to be much critical thinking from the trolls today.

Seems that the trolls are only using their OPINIONS, not facts, to try to make their points. "This is my OPINION, so I MUST BE RIGHT." Duh! Try facts and logic little trolls, your opinion is only worth what everyone else's is. Try using your personal experiences to help promote your opinion (don't include drug-induced experiences, isn't applicable to real-life anyway).

Little trolls, you want facts? Go to the Senate's Committee for Y2K and read their 100-day report. Read the Executive Summary (will need Adobe Acrobat), especially check out pages 4 and 9.

Or the different ways that embedded chips may affect us IF they aren't found or corrected. (Please note, some of the fixes are actually advice, not fixes themselves.):

Now, THESE are FACTS! Ball's in your court trolls, do you have the guts to respond intelligently?

It's Saturday, they are out 'luvinit@thebeach'

Yeah, Deb, there are very few facts in any of those documents. They are mostly opinion and conjecture also. Just because something is a report from the U.S. Senate doesn't make it a fact. Government studies are typically not very up to date anyway.

Trolls dont want facts!!

Trolls want the longest threads!!

Trolls are probably more prepared than any of us. They just derive great entertainment to be able to push soooooooooo many buttons.

Thats why you see regulars imploring::: Dont feed the trolls!!

What you define as "trolls" is nothing more than immaturity and ignorance. I for one believe that immaturity and ignorance is cured with age and by learning.

Let your "trolls" come and learn.

If you were not a liberal at the age of 21 you did not have a heart. If you are not a conservative by the age of 40 you do not have a brain. -- Anon

Then that must make me an alien without a heart and a brain ;-)

I've never labeled myself a liberal nor a conservative, and probably never will. I despise indiscriminate use of labels. At 20 I was young er and more immature and less knowledgable, at 38 I've learned quite differently than what I thought I understood then.

I'm still young and immature, and will be till the day I die.
