Would be a good way to make false info easier to spread, without links all we have is hear-say and made up things. hmm. Wait. As opposed to made up news with links.
It's gradually moving in that direction here as well, as more and more websites require subscription. Certainly copy/pasting just parts of an article without attribute will soon be gone, and I can't really blame them. Already I see "copyright property of and not to be reproduced or used without..." . I really can't fault people who create stuff at their own expense, and others surf right in, copy/paste and 100s get it for nothing...

I can stil remember the feeling I had when I got my 1st real computer--IBM Aptiva--in 1994. The Internet was like having both a university and public library system right at home and it was all free for the reading. I ate it up and for months spent every spare second web surfing. Damn I miss the good old days.
Suddenly, my whole intellectual world was shook. I’d never thought about it this way before, but maybe Ingram was onto something: maybe the Dewey Decimal System was responsible for the ongoing repression of millions of homosexuals worldwide, every young black man who gets sent to prison on a trumped-charge, the Iraq War, Gordon Brown’s painkiller addiction, Karley Sciortino, our troops, and so on. (?) In all those little points, a little evil is done- another pro-western imperialist little act-token of repression. So I did some research. And just a cursory glance saw some stunning facts come to light.
There seems to be a disturbing message hidden in the Dewey Decimal Classification system, the organizational scheme first published in 1876 and now used in 95% of US schools: Of the hundred numbers set aside for topics concerning religion, 88 — numbers 201-287 — are reserved for Christianity. Jews and Moslems get just one each. But those single-digit religions are still doing better than Buddhists (294.3) who share a decimal point with the Sikhs (294.6) and Jains (294.4), looking up enviously at Christian "Parish government & administration" which gets its own whole number (254).
I guess it's back to the dark ages for us.
(I just knew it had to be there, so I typed into Google, "Is the Dewey Decimal System Racist?")

Well, I thought I was just supposed to return an irrelevant assertion to you after you made one to me. I'll remind you that you don't know my ethnicity.

Feel free to make any kind of assertion you wish, relevant or otherwise. A person's specific ethnicity means nothing to me. Everyone is the same--always.

No, in today's world an Arab can be an anti-Semite, despite the fact that Arabs are Semites. And as I witnessed said on this forum, a person changes race when born of a woman who converted to a religion.
And you made the mistake of stepping off with a statement that you still can't support. It took all of one post in one thread the first day I was here and you went into emotive Politically Correct outburst.

Unless they want to try to call you an anti-Semite. And you weren't involved, so I'm positive I didn't ask you for a response that means nothing to me.

Anyone of any background, race, religion, nationality, age or any factor can be an antisemite.

I am involved in this forum and this discussion. And you didn't have to ask, I volunteered. I figured it might help with your social development as you begin to venture out into the outside world and interact with adults. You're welcome.

No. That only works in Politically Correct world. An anti-Semite is someone who hates Semites. A Semite is someone who is originally from the Near East which is roughly the Arabian Peninsula region, the Levant. "Anti-Semite" is a made up term in Europe from a time before we had the scientific ability to determine the genetic DNA of a person.

Human?, 51% or more. This is the internet mental floss, there is no valid threats unless there is intent. Just words and ideas.

That link is how to get in on the F-U feedback bandwagon.
is it, just killing the cickable links, that automaticly send you to what ever it might be?? if so, that is fine.. as you can rename a bad web address to Fiero history and people unknowingly will click it.. so we'll be back to copy and pasting web addresses, instead of live links.. not sure if this is such a bad thing, as they can't change the site address, like they can rename a link.. so http://www.trogan installer.com can't be renamed to http://www. Fiero history.com and trick folks..
killing live links won't kill the internet.. now if you had to manually type in a web address, then maybe.. but copy and paste into a brouser , not a big deal..
