the L O N G thread

**SolarFlare** · October 1st, 2002, 06:26 PM

I have set out on a quest to make this the longest thread in codeguru. Talk about anything on your mind here, and all will see. Got anything at all to say? Let your voice be heard.

Remember, the sooner you respond the higher up your message will be, and the sooner you will be a part of history. You could be the John Hancock of codeguru.com.

Here, I'll get you all started:
Who is the evilest person in history (fictional or real)? Some suggestions: Scott Evil, Saddam Hussein, Catbert, Bud Selig, Bill Gates, Monty Burns.

I will support you in your effort. Here's my downpayment

**proxima centaur** · October 1st, 2002, 08:56 PM

You're starting late

The "Where are we from?" poll is some posts ahead of you hehehe!

**SolarFlare** · October 1st, 2002, 09:03 PM

I know... I've been a part of that, but give this string some time. If the "where are we from" string could go to a thousand responses in under two months, I figure it's not over yet.

So come on... who's really evil??? Some more suggestions: Sun Tzu (wrote The Art of War), Wile E. Coyote.

Is there a prize for this

Look at Simon666's avatar ... someone blew him up. Who ever did that must definitly be the most evil person. It must be that same driver who's been running over his cats. Common fellow ! Must be the same guy who's bin Lady and now we don't know what he is... aNOnyMOUS maybe

**Simon666** · October 2nd, 2002, 06:45 AM

I don't think he let it happen directly. In governments all over the world the rule is the bigger the government institution, the bigger the bureaucracy, such as paperwork, formalities and the difficulties to communicate to other people on the same level in different departments.

He did let it happen indirectly by supporting the Taliban because they gave the necessary stability for the proposed Unocal pipeline. And his family has proven contacts with the bin Laden family.

By the way, NS, what state is that? New S... ? I know NY (New York), TX (Texas) and some others, but not NS (Nebraska maybe)?

It's not a state, it's a province. I'm in Canada. NS stands for Nova Scotia.

I would prefer that you picked a different topic to create your "long" thread with. Evil people is a subjective topic and like religeon and politics ends up causing more trouble than good. This is especially true as names of real "regular" people start getting mentioned. I'd rather you talk about chicken chops (Xeon?) or something else. Topics like favorite foods, most unique foods, that great movie you just saw..., common things to do for fun in your country/area, Unreal Tournament 2003 or some other game, etc...... These are safer topics that don't result (generally) in my getting lots of e-mails with complaints.

By the way, at some point, the threads in this category (General Discussion) will be taken off the top list on the front page of codeguru (www.codeguru.com), so that the more technical threads will appear instead.

Brad!

**Simon666** · October 2nd, 2002, 08:30 AM

Sorry you get complaints Brad, I removed my post. Why don't people mail to the person in question and ask them to withdraw it. But when people start with asking for evil people and mention Saddam Hussein from start on, people indeed ask for it. As far as UT 2003 is concerned, I've heard it's not that good. And moving too fast, like Quake. Graphically it would be OK of course.

**Platinum Plus** · October 2nd, 2002, 08:38 AM

Hey Solarflare, do you prefer chicken chops or lamb chops.

**Goodz13** · October 2nd, 2002, 10:14 AM

I'm sorry Brad Jones, you're right there's no need to get political.

Boxing! That's what we should be talking about!

How about that Kirk Johnson.

Who do you think he'll fight next?

**Tom Frohman** · October 2nd, 2002, 12:50 PM

A) It sure is a nice day.

B) I've always thought dolphins are very intelligent.

And always ready to start a controversy....

C) The oatmeal is lumpy here.

Brad!

First, sorry about the evil people. I certainly top the list. Everybody forget about the evil people, cuz I've already won (according to Brad). Secondly, you've destroyed the soul purpose of this thread

(which was to get on the front page by being the longest).

Hey Solarflare, do you prefer chicken chops or lamb chops.

I like all of nature's animals.

Especially the taste.

**Pug** · October 2nd, 2002, 07:29 PM

Cats and dolphins are the most intelligent animals. My cat uses my computer when I'm not around, I know it.
