I've read it before, but I think it sums up so many internet communities beautifully.

My question for you:
What do you think is the biggest opinion polariser?

More than marmite or smoking?

Definitely.
I mean, does a girl on the internet really exist?
( WHARRGARBL, Sun 17 Jan 2010, 19:19, Reply)

I dunno. You mean a real girl with breasts and everything?

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Sun 17 Jan 2010, 19:20, Reply)

Yeah, one of them.

( WHARRGARBL, Sun 17 Jan 2010, 19:25, Reply)

No, I don't think they exist. Everyone knows the internet is really made up of 30 sweaty blokes called Dave
or Keith.

You ever pretend to be the chick from Flashdance?

Kittenz

I love the sweet fwuffy ickle kittumz we get at work, but I must admit I do get a bit sick of it when I get home after a while
Having said that, the internet is made of cats apparently, so maybe I'm just more of a kittenz snob than I used to be.

Joe Esposito is not a man that likes to fuck around. He didn't sit around in his Ford Festiva in the Kmart parking lot trying to think up a bunch of metaphors for kicking your soul in the ass and making you believe you're better than everybody. He just straight up said "You're the best! Around!" And by the way, "Nothing's gonna ever keep you down!"

There are no lyrics in this song that aren't about how completely, utterly, and thoroughly, fucking awesome you are at everything from fighting to gambling to sports.

Global warming.

too many people don't know enough about global warming for it to be two clear cut sides I'd say

Also, the atmosphere is possibly the most complex and least-understood physical system on earth.
Anyone who claims to have a reliable conclusion about its behaviour is almost certainly lying.

Studying it comprehensively is like trying to unravel a dense ball of string several feet in diameter.
But in addition to single linear threads, the ball contains quite a few knots and loops, so you can't always tell where one thread ends and another one begins, or even how many threads there are.

I work with hydraulic models
waves and rivers mostly, and it is difficult to get those accurate enough. Always a lot of assumptions. Something as complex as a global climate model is not going to be an easy nor accurate thing to create.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE SAYING THAT, ALL THE SCIENTISTS I READ ABOUT ON THE INTERNET SAY oh fuck it, I can't be arsed even pretending to argue.
