    I'd copy and post it, but since he actually gets paid for his words (and is an admin)... :)

    Why is Will wasting his time writing about Clonaid and the media being taken? I stopped reading after 3 paragraphs. I get bored when the media writes self-indulgent articles patting themselves on the back for spreading important news in times of emergency or chastise each other for feeding us cloned stories of nonethingness but ratings,

    What possible reason is there for me to read more about a stupid story like Clonaid. Who could have ever believed that after seeing Boisselier's Austin Powers teeth?

    I'm embarrassed for Will that he could reach so far to continue such a lame story.

    Jeez. Go read the rest of the article for chrissakes.

    I think he probably agrees with you. :rolleyes:

    I'm not going to make you, I'll just laugh at you for criticizing something that's not even there.

    Exactly. The clone is not there, and never was there. I'll just laugh at you for insisting to me that Will could wrap up such a subject in the last paragraph to make it worth posting by Achebe.

    Nah, the rest is not worth reading. I do like Saletan though.

    That may be true, but she reads entire articles before judging them.

    I'm disappointed, that the king of sarcasm didn't like my sarcasm.

    All I want is to be recognized by you, BK, Smeggy, Will and TheFreak as a suitable sarcasm buddy.

    I recognize good sarcasm. You weren't using sarcasm in your first couple of posts. Maybe after your second posts.

    You simply had no clue in your first two.

    Damn, and I thought I looked pretty clueless for the first 4 posts. I just can't maintain my cluelessness over a full thread like you.

    As a member of the scientific community, I have to say that heypartner is spot on here. This is ultimately how we judge the quality of someone's work. e.g.::D

    HP,

    You would have been much better if you had said you had stopped reading after the first 4 paragraphs. Any true master of sarcasm would know this.

    Although is it sarcasm or irony when one "criticizes" an article for doing something when the article itself is criticizing the media for doing the exact same thing? Hmmm...maybe RM95 can clear it up.

    "Why don't you make me" made me laugh.

    rimbaud, not that you will respond to my question, but have you ever typed "LOL," or "lol?" I would predict the answer is "no," and I commend you. But do not be embarrassed by a "yes" answer, please.

    Rambo will say "lol" in chat...if tells you otherwise he is a two faced liar.
