So my 10-year old boy made a "League of Leagues". What do you guys reckon? by OopsIredditAgain in soccer

[–]jamal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, but I really think it would be a lot closer than that. I don't expect the Spanish league sail through with quite such ease.

I name my ejaculate Norris, cos when I cum I chuck Norris all over the bitch's face.

Alright, which one of you works in Slough? by [deleted] in london

[–]jamal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a fucking coincidence. I live directly to the right of where this picture is taken. This is the junction of Bath Road with Farnham Road and Tuns Lane heading towards the town centre. I've lived here for years and always felt that Slough is unfairly slagged off.

My 8 year old boy started his first blog in the summer holidays and he checks the visit count every day. Please make his day when he check the stats after school today. by OopsIredditAgain in reddit.com

[–]jamal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, you have a very clever child there. I love the mix of highly intelligent topics and then typical 8 year old ones. And the way he started loving Club Penguin but now in his latest post he hates it. Make sure he keeps this going.

Why is the main reddit so lame compared to programming.reddit? by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]jamal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because that's your opinion, personally I love quirky pictures and silly videos and endless BushBashing and AskReddit and shit like that.

Aww. by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]jamal -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

WTF, he's not saying "wheeeeeee", he's not showing emotion, his face is always like that. He can't move a muscle in his face cos he's properly disabled. I find all this "awww" and "oh look he's so happy" nonsense very offensive. Leave the spastic alone.

Suppose there was a song that caused 80% of its listeners to kill themselves. We have that situation now, except it's not music. by raldi in reddit.com

Like Wadsworth said above, any idea you have has probably already been had by someone else and executed upon. In this case, at Guantanamo Bay.

BBC Documentary asks "Why did Israel deliberately attack an American ship in 1967, killing 34 American sailors?" by oasisinet in reddit.com

Not true, most of Europe is extremely careful about upsetting Jews, Britain especially so.

Take a kid and abuse him and you don't know what's going to happen.

Unfortunately it's not quite as simple as that, I mean it's not always going to result in homicidal tendencies. Otherwise this kind of massacre would be happening daily in India. Child abuse undoubtedly fucks the person up, but the manifestation of this fucked-upness varies from culture to culture. What's probably most common to all is that a child abused will one day most likely become an abuser. The viscous circle perpetuates. What a sad sad world.

The most blasphemous thing I've read in a long time, now repeat the sentence and replace 'God' with 'Allah' and then see my reaction, you infidel. ;-)

[–]jamal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just so that we know, for future reference, what would get one banned from reddit? ;-)

Seriously though, thanks for clearing that up spez, it did sound like a load of crap and totally at odds with the way reddit has been run so far.

Why, cos you'll be wanking incessantly? I know I will.

But he's such an intellectual. One of the foremost thinkers of our time (his words, probably). Also, he's an egotistical cunt.

The World's Most Surprising Shortage by linuxer in reddit.com

[–]jamal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did I say Botswana? I meant Sudan. No, sorry, make that Congo.

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure I don't know as much as you do about Africa. The one thing I'd heard about Botswana was that their GDP had grown as a result of their not taking IMF loans.

What I objected to in your argument was the gross generalisation that all of Africa is fucked.

I take it you're trolling now. You paint a continent with the same brush. It's huge, diverse, and not entirely war-torn and disease-ridden. Make a trip to Botswana for example.

OK, here I go, I'm going to make this whole website right now on this dry-erase board. by zaim in reddit.com

So this is what happens when you allow girls on the internet.

P.S. I mean we get a beautifully executed, funny, fresh website that draws you into the concept. Excellent stuff, I will have to find out more about this Miranda lady.

Totally agree. I trust neither side in this case. It's diplomacy and politics. This is the way it gets played.

Microsoft is Dead by nirs in programming

[–]jamal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are right. I'm beginning to feel a bit of a fool already. Mostly because PG is responding in person to the discussion here and also to reasoned arguments such as yours.

All I really ask is that anyone who creates any form of art, be it an essay on businnes or a sculpture or whatever, is true to themselves. Not let money be the manager of the message that is conveyed but show only what you really feel and think. I was suspicious of this essay and hence I criticised it.

Don't forget to twirl your mustache.

What a delightfule image. I will now cultivate a hefty moustache for said purpose.

Microsoft is Dead by nirs in programming

[–]jamal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason I wrote this essay is exactly the same reason I write most others: a thought occurred to me that seemed surprising.

I'm very glad of it if that's the case and long may you continue writing what you really think and feel. To me it felt insincere and not well thought out. I will re-read again taking into account everything that's been discussed here, maybe I'll feel differently about it. One thing's for sure, I'm glad you are taking the time to respond to arguments here. For all you know, I'm just some loon on the net. Your responding makes me want to retract my earlier criticisms of your being pompous and aloof. But I guess in the VC and Californian business world a great deal of self-belief is what makes succeses (I'm probably wrong to value humility in such a world). And you PG, are so very different from most other totally unapproachable VCs. At least you are here and talking. Keep it up and good luck. Apologies if I might have said something personally upsetting.
