Sometimes the EBS isn't about political outrage, sometimes it's about a Scary, Scary Criminal Trend that you need to get all frightened about. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Yeah, you're right. I meant mostly, not all. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ewlnq/askreddit_how_do_you_get_your_parents_to_stop/ I've noticed it mostly from non-technical people over 60. When you debunk it they always say, "Well, I got this email from so&so, and he wouldn't forward junk!" The so&so is usually another non-technical person over 60. I don't know how to answer this, but I keep getting EBS from otherwise-smart older people who, even after 15 years of Internet usage, cannot recognise Electronic BullShit (EBS) when they see it.

OK, sometimes you get an email that gives some dire warning about a new type of crime or some political outrage or something, followed by a message to forward this email to as many people as possible. If you're like me, these sorts of emails should usually trigger your Bullshit Detector. Now the Internet has been in common usage for over fifteen years. After all that time, shouldn't people recognise this kind of crap and do a tiny bit of research before spreading it around? Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Why wouldn't they have started this one? Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

I don't know how the reply tags got all fucked up. But the point is, when you initiate a Big Bang, you initiate Time itself. There is no "before" the Big Bang. So if our descendants could figure out how to make the Big Bang happen, then they wouldn't have to go back in time first. They would simply start the Universe.

[email] So let me get this straight . . . "Our" descendants travel back in time 13.75 billion years and do what? No, they wouldn't need to travel back in time first. Then I don't think you understand the concept of time! . I'm not sure you understand the concept of the Big Bang. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

One could make the case that it is a symbol of one of the most powerfull and merciless gangs in human history. As a former recovering Catholic I'll agree to that. How does it go? "Catholic school: better education through intimidation and humiliation" I endured plenty of that in public school, believe me. I know people who quit public school and went to a Catholic school in order to escape that shit. And two of them weren't even Catholic. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

So does that make our descendents our own God? I've often wondered if the "aliens" that are described are actually what humans turn out to be in the far distant future. Given the difficulties in space travel due to interstellar distances, it's almost easier to imagine that the UFOs are really time travellers. And no, I don't really believe in UFOs, but it's something to contemplate. This was all revealed in Repo Man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76RWWl01JMc&feature=youtube_gdata_player Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

So let me get this straight . . . "Our" descendants travel back in time 13.75 billion years and do what? No, they wouldn't need to travel back in time first. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Hey, has anyone considered this possibility: That the Big Bang that started this Universe was caused (or will be caused) by our descendants? Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

From the title, I thought this was about the British sitcom. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

It's very interesting. Sometimes you can see a lot of parallels with things going on today. What do you all think? Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Demand fourteen: Allow naked boobies on Youtube. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Sedimentary rock is good? How do you prepare it? And which type of wine goes with it? Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Of course I support targeted killing, isn't that why gun sights were invented? But seriously, are we sure this guy was an American citizen? He was after he was born here, but are you sure he didn't renounce it & change his citizenship when he moved to Yemen? I would think that a guy who launches bomb attacks targetting US planes and spreads propaganda exhorting Muslims to attack America pretty much says to me that he has renounced his US citizenship, so, fire away.

If humans and dinosaurs had coexisted, it's a cinch that one of the plagues of Egypt would have involved velociraptors. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

The Fox News headline should be: Obama Kills Fellow Muslim African. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Hey, they're "neck massagers!" Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Wow, so they let lesbians use it too? Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Crazy game. I still think the Ravens will win, but the Jets are making it interesting. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

IN Dealing with the abortion problem, remember that making abortion illegal is not the same as making abortion stop. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Tell me if there's already a thread for 2011/12 season. So I'm drinking Yuengling & watching the Ravens/Jets game & it's a pretty good match. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

Bumping this up again. Because now they have come out with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6uNTpYtacw Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------

I'm just not sure what the Occupy Wall Street protest is supposed to accomplish. Looks like a lot of people just venting their outrage at their lot in life. I am having a tough time too right now, trying to find a job/& running out of money, but I just keep trying. I don't see how marching around and shaking my fist at "the System" is going to get anything done. Speed Racer --------------------------------------------------
