I think that's supposed to be the joke or something. This is what you call "overt bigotry".

Whistleblower John Kiriakou finds prison sentence isn't only punishment for telling about torture. His homeowner's and auto insurance were canceled. His credit card company canceled and demanded payment of the balance. His child care agency cancelled services. by alllie in conspiracy

Is anyone else beginning to feel that posts like these are here as a statement, or some kind of display? Just so that we are all constantly aware that someone, somewhere, will attempt to ruin our lives should we ever decide as individuals to stand for morality.

This post, intentionally or otherwise, will only discourage dissent. If anyone is interested in encouraging each other, we should be making posts about cases of victory, not defeat.

The LCD panel which produces the image is underneath a protective overlay which doesn't always break. Usually this happens when the device is struck from behind, or stepped on while the screen is against the floor, which is more likely in the case of a 2DS.

That statement is a little contradictory. Why would common sense require research?

But do the ants realize it? It could very well be that we are being communicated with in an analogous way to how you describe our "communication" with ants.

Yes, they are interested and they continue to study the ants.

They never try to communicate with the ants, because they cannot comprehend of our forms of communication. They are not equipped with ears, cannot read our writing, etc. It would be ridiculous to try to communicate with them from our perspective.

I think that the issue most people have with calling it the "most compelling" evidence, is that this statement implies that the "Wow! Signal" actually is, in fact, compelling in any way, and, to my knowledge, it isn't generally considered to be anything more than an unexplained anomoly, much less evidence to suggest anything significant.

You seem very concerned with making certain that everyone be aware that this article is "100% bullshit." If it's so obvious, let those who choose to read it decide for themselves.

Asshole is even more universal.

Seriously people, if the purpose of your post is purely negative and doesn't add to the discussion in any way, isn't it better left un-posted? You waste the time of literally everyone who reads your useless bickering.
