FFF

GoldenPenguin · May 2012

Because I need an outlet.

I flame PRBright, for asking if Chernobyl was a real place. When ahstillwell said she wanted to go there on her honeymoon, she said "Make sure you take a video camera so when you die a gruesome death we can send it to Hollywood! Money in the bank." First of all, how do you not know Chernobyl is real? Second of all, are you serious? We all know that ahstillwell works in cancer research, and sees real people die from cancer all the time. ~ Credit to Yaga, from the Grave.

I flame LoveBug for DDing a KUI thread. Because WTF?

Elle1036 · May 2012

Wait... Chernobyl is real? Was Hiroshima real, too?

GoldenPenguin · May 2012

Yup. So was the Titanic.

Yaga from the grave would like to flame Bri for not giving her proper credit on the initial flames.

cu97tiger · May 2012

I flame all of you for thinking that people should know things. Maybe it's easier, and more fun, NOT to know things. Have you ever thought of that? I don't know much, and my life is easy peasy.

Nope they're not real, none of them- government conspiracies.....

I flame those of you who claim to not have hairy assholes. Quit lying, and if you're not sure, take a mirror and head to the bathroom. And prepare to be surprised.

beanbot2002 · May 2012

My asshole is hairier than sasquatch. And I love my hairy asshole.

I flame Beanbot for being slow to catch on sometimes.

Damn you all! I want real flames. C'mon! I know I've pissed someone off. Let me have it!

I flame bri for starting fff and not coming back.

Elle1036 · May 2012

I flame anyone who responds to a survey thread but omits certain answers just because they're embarassed by them.

Don't want to admit that your butthole is hairy? No problem, just ignore that thread.

What do you want from me?? No one is even SAYING anything.

I flame myself for supposed to be leaving for LI an hour & 20 minutes ago, and still being in my office. I pre-flame myself for bitching about traffic later, because now I'm definitely going to hit it, and it's going to piss me off.

Posted by BriSox81[/QUOTE]

Whoever PRBright is, I guess she doesn't know I'm a cancer research nurse, as I honestly can't say I've ever seen her around before. Should... should I know her?

Also, one of my coworkers who is a mere six months older than me told me today that she didn't know what Chernobyl is. How does this happen?

Also PRBright needs to be flamed for spelling it 'Chernobyle' even though it had been spelled correctly earlier in the thread.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be sarastic or not, but if it's serious - I agree. I can honestly say that I had not heard of Chernobyl before this thread and briefly felt stupid for not knowing. With that said - I don't think it's unusual for someone to not know every piece of history that's ever happened in every country. I don't remember learning about this in school. If a person hasn't learned something, how can you expect them to KNOW about it?? It makes me feel like I should be nervous to ask about something here that I may not have heard about before (which is why I use Google, before even bothering to ask).

Chernobyl was a huge event that had long-lasting ramifications for nuclear power and the fall of the Soviet Union. Even if people didn't learn about it in school, when the tsunami happened last year in Japan, Chernobyl was brought up again because of the Fukushima Daiichi meltdown. There was<em> a lot</em> in the news about it. I don't know how something like that can be overlooked with recent reminders in place, but maybe it's just because my interests are East Asia and the Communist bloc or... something.

I obviously heard about the tsunami, but didn't watch enough coverage or read about it to hear anything about Chernobyl. I HATE the news. It's depressing and makes me sad, and honestly I find it pointless for myself to feel horrible when there's nothing that I'm going to be able to do about it anyway. That probably comes across as naive and heartless, but I guess I just feel I'd rather focus my energy in areas where I can make a difference, like sponsoring a child in Lesotho and donating to homeless shelters/animal shelters, for example.

Seriously? I flame you for not giving a shiit about current events because they make you sad. They have serious implications for every aspect of your life. Them making you sad isn't a reason to not care.

I'm all for making a difference and identifying where you can do good with what you have, but I also strongly believe that you should learn to appreciate your place in the world by learning about what's going on elsewhere, and that means paying attention to what's happening in other countries. I think people do themselves a great disservice by not taking the time to learn new things on the daily.

Another thing: how can you find where you can make a difference if you don't open yourself to learning what's happening around you? How did you find out about Lesotho? What do you know about Lesotho? A lot of people have never even heard about Lesotho, as it's a very small country that's even completely surrounded by a much larger and much more well-known country (South Africa). There has to have been some way that Lesotho came into your life, and surely if you sponsor a child there, you keep your fingers on the pulse of that country. If you do, have you learned about the countries surrounding it? There's a lot going on in Africa right now, a lot of very interesting things.

Maybe I just don't get it. I love knowing what's happening around the world. The world's a pretty baller place.

melmac86 · May 2012

Flame away. I never said I don't care about the hardships that other people go through. I'm not ignorant. Like I said, I choose to focus my attention on events in which I can actually make a difference by donating money, etc... Me paying attention to every news story all over the world is going to do what, exactly? Sitting on the couch with my face in a story isn't going to do a damn thing to change the hardships that others are dealing with. As I understand it, April 1986 is not a current event.

It's not that it's a current event, but rather that the event continues to have ramifications today. You can't appreciate the future without knowing and understanding the past.
