As if, no offence to americans on here but your government is serousily screwed and you need to stop blaming people for starting things in which they didn't.

You've done in the war and years before. Are you trying to rule the world?

No i like rushing.

...that would disappear in the crowd if they weren't Wiki critics....

A list can be more than 1 name or object on paper or computer.

Yes. But twelve is a very small number considering the thousands upon thousands of people who use Wiki.

Heck, I probably know more than twelve people who don't like me. grin2.gif

Where do you find these ^^

i wouldnt call wiki a reliable source document myself...anyone can go in there and make a page on anything they want and spew as much bs as they want and pretend they know what they're talking about.

Do all you guys spell so well in Pompey? I'm sure the people who live in Pompeii are glad you're not from there...they'd be quite embarassed by that claim.

And you should know that crap is deleted within a few hours on wiki. Everybody commits errors (in fact the famous Brittanica once made fun of a wiki entry and it resulted in wiki being right and Brittanica wrong).

The problem starts when you go single sourced. It does not matter where I read something, before passing it as fact I check against a second source.

Except Colbert...he makes me chuckle...The guy is kind of like the court jester of the old days...he can say things in a way that is funny and offensive to the president, but the leadership lets them get away with it...and even invites them to press functions...

Te be berated by him...

I still am trying to figure out what had the OP so fired up about the list? can someone(preferably the OP) clue me in as to what was so horrible as to feel the need to condemn and make such horrible sweeping statements?

I agree...2 sources saying the same thing is quite wise. Yeah, alot of wiki stuff disappears...I just didint go in to a complete tirade about it but rather just made a general statement original.gif


I'd like to know what got the OP fired up too
