    • Since 1999.

      Poly is a bit of a social experiment. Back then it was full of real right-wing types and a lot of christians.

      Now a lot of right-wingers have either left (usually under a cloud of humiliation) or actually moved towards the left as time and sense has prevailed (some notable converts!). Also the christians are less numerous and no longer openly flout their beliefs because they know they'll be ridiculed.

      So all in all, it is a successful experiment in education and changing of attitudes by exposure to those that can lead them to the right path - even people with right-wing attitudes can be made to see the error of their ways over time...
      Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

      • What a jackwad. This place has never been any of that.
        Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

        He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

          Or Christians just ignore trolling by those they pray for.

            • Theben bugged me for a couple of years to check this place out, but I only came for the Civ II mods, back in the Ultimate Civ Site days. Eventually I gave in when he told me of the lyrics he wrote for "If I Only Had Some Tech."
              Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

                Sung to the tune from The Wizard of Oz if I only had a brain?

                      OK I was wrong. Evidently not all people with right-wing attitudes can be made to see the error of their ways over time - some are just waaaaay too stupid...

                      • MOBIUS, your "I'm surrounded by idiots" makes me think of this joke I recently told in another thread...

                        A pair of Austrians are driving on a one way road when a car comes flying up the other way, horn screaming. He swerves and they narrowly miss each other. This happens again, then again and again. Over the radio comes the announcement "There is a Falschfahrer (wrong way driver) driving up the highway!" The Austrian, swerving to avoid yet another car says to his passenger, "no ****, there's alot of them!".

                          I couldn't find it in the archives, and I know Theben lost the original.

                            The joke's funnier this time round.

                              Then you'll be glad to know that I have never driven the wrong way up a road or been involved in a traffic accident in over a decade of driving despite having driven in 14 countries...

                              But then, as you and I know, I'm not referring to my driving abilities with that comment...
                              Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?
