    What is a mock nobody?

    Oh it's always been popular. It may not have phrased *exactly* like that, but mocking stuff is what Meltdown is made of. Well, mockery and the contents of X's drool cup but the less said about that the better.

    Evolution isn't debatable on any serious level. Just because it happens over periods of time that are difficult for us to wrap our smooth monkey brains around doesn't mean it isn't happening.

    I wish I could take a flying saucer. I'd take it straight to a better planet, for starters. ...or at least one not so infested with bipedal apes but that's probably being redundant.

    Indeed. Striving is the foundation upon which all advancements are built. Except with scientific advancements. Historically many of those were unanticipated byproducts or sheer luck.

    Then you are, by definition, in the wrong subforum. Either the tagline sucks or you do. Which is it?

    What is a mock nobody?

    Compared to the era in which I went by 'Vitriol' I am a veritable fluffy harmless ball of joy and if you're suggesting otherwise I'll paint the forum with your blood and send the outrageously overinflated decorating bill to Fred, who will pay it immediately if she knows what's good for her.

    Stoopidest. Subforum. Tagline. Ever. Define "victory", much less "absolute victory"? Who declares the victor? Using what criteria? Will there be prizes? What are they? What constitutes a "fight", much less a "fighting method"? Define "despicable", much less "most despicable"? According to whom...

    WWIII has begun!!! A fascinating analysis of the Iran war

    WWIII started the day the soviet union fell apart and instead of the USA dialing back its own paranoid militarism it doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on it in a bid to become the evil imperial hegemon it used to accuse the USSR of wanting to become. 'Murica wants dominion over the entire...

    What is a mock nobody?

    @Flynn For someone who allegedly groks that forums are essentially performance art, you seem unaccountably easily confused by the performance pieces themselves. If you can't roll with it at least stop with the pedantic heckling so much; you're only ruining it for everyone else.
