5) MTG is an industry expert -- if you don't realize that, you're a moron.

Depends on which industry. And some people are still morons even if they do realize that.

I learned that everything I've heard about Texas is true.

7) Australia has people down there -- not just kangaroos and koalas.

3) Indeed. Nor Judy Garland, nor Barbra Streident. It's called good taste.....

7) Of course. Some strapping hunks too....

I have learned that a lot more connects most us, than divides us: that the 'Poly community while refreshingly, entertainingly diverse, is 'liberal' in the classic English sense of the word. No death threats and childish flaming here (well, there's an open invitation, if ever I saw one...).

That Sikander has disturbingly similar musical tastes to mine....

That Israeli posters demonstrate the meaning of grace under pressure, without realizing it....

That Lazarus's sense of humour is very entertaining. Love the alt.history tales- makes a change from reading about merino wool production or the economics of Habsburg Bohemia.

That there are a lot of s.f. fans out there.

That Buck Birdseed has an encyclopaedic knowledge of musical genres and catholic tastes.

That not all American Republicans are slave owning baby eaters. Maybe just half of them...

I never even knew that Finland existed until I started posting here.

Apolyton has been great for me. It is the place where I can get a very wide variety of opinions and perspectives, not just the opinions of white hick republicans that live in Idaho.

1. Since I joined it I have learned so much about politics. When I first came here I knew nothing, and now I know some.

2. It has also taught me to realize that I have been brainwashed by conservatives.

3. I have learned that many of the opinions of the right are practically delusional.

4. I have learned about the theories and opinions of the left and have come to realize I was completely wrong. Now I am a leftist.

5. I learned that the US is not perfect, and that we can and will do bad things for the benefit of only our government at the expense of others. I learned we have done so much evil in the past we make Saddam look like a good guy.

6. I also learned that it is impolite to tell people from other countries that the US is the greatest nation in the world.

7. It has also taught me to be way more open-minded. Before I believed in what they brainwashed into me. I couldn't think any other way. Apolyton taught me I was wrong and to look at all parts of the picture. I have learned so much and now I can make much better decisions on what my opinions are.

8. That Bush is evil.

yes I know about #6 being impolite. But I do it anyways . USA #1!

Loinburger!

Nice to see that you have come back. Lately, you've fallen off the face of the earth.

As for what I've learned on Apolyton, communists really ARE that blind.

[TCO]

I learned that I was special. And that I had privileges above other posters. Then I learned that was no longer true.

Yeah, I took four months off. But, since that was four months ago, I'm now back.

I'm a big disappointed that we don't have thousands of new smilies, though. I guess Stefu's been lazy.

Your troll is even worse than Fezzie's

I guess the only new feature that I can see is that support Apolyton link...

someone ought to pay all that bandwidth and make this place a bit faster again...

I guess as time goes by I just can't stand pages loading for ages on a broadband connection...

call me spoiled (which I am) but I still check in from time to time...

1. There are no penalties to genocide in civilized society. Razing cities and killing off all the workers is just dandy by everyone else.

The problem is that I have compassion. What compassionate person throws a blind man out of a helicopter?
