WHY M-NET IS VASTLY SUPERIOR TO GREX(telent to m-net.arbornet.org)

m-netters have a thick skin. this allows them to roll with insults and see
the humour in it. They also have better retorts and they are able to insult
in a way that even the insulted find amusing. The m-net hardware and OS is
more robust and powerful also. They also lack the whining pukes like cuss
rage(aka "russ') and jakeoffman(jakluman). The sysops there stay of of
people's business(mostly). janc gets his panties in a wad at the first hint
of disagreement. and as for "other" that guy doesn't have a trace of any sense
of humour...in fact he resembles a serial killer. If he smiled he would
probally crack his face.mary and remmers need an IV infused dose of geritol.
those buzzards think they are trolling professionals but they have yet to
display any proof. Last but not least they have ME...the great sabre. The
personage whose intelligence and wit astound even the most prudent grammer
queens and spelling snobs. So all new comers..come to m-net. Forget this
dungeon of liberal oppression. simply telent to host "m-net.arbornet.org' on
port 23. WE ARE VASTLY SUPERIOR TO THESE WHINING LOTUS EATERS.
LONG LIVE M-NET....DEATH TO grex.

Times have changed; the good people have moved on.  All that's left is
wannabes with no concept of style.

Actually, everyone's opinions are constantly changing, and are influenced by
everything they experience.   I alter your mind with every word I say, and 
you alter mine with every word you say.  Not just a little bit in a corner
either.  Everything.  No opinion you have is fixed for even a moment.  No
memory is not constantly changing.  Each perception floods our minds, every
connection warping in response, never to return to its previous state.
That's what minds do.

Living minds exist to process perceptions and come up with instant responses.
They are dynamic and infinitely responsive.  This is the core of intelligence.

This is why computers fail to be intelligent.  At any moment, only one bit
of their memory can change, while everything else is unchanging.  They make
no errors, but their minds do not flow with what they perceive.  Instead,
they view the world through a pinhole, at best.  They understand nothing
because their minds encompass nothing.  A cockroach is infinity more able
to react effectively to the world.

We humans have minds that are fundamentally changable and constantly changing.
We can appear to stand still, but it is done by constantly changing in
response to the changes around us.

To say you can have no influence on others is an absurdity.  Your control
over the effects of your influence may not be very good, but you cannot
help but have an influence.

Who are you arguing with?

I'm OK with late abortions only if the life of the mother is otherwise
at grave risk.  I don't give a dang what procedure is used.  All are
equally grisely, and none could be as bad as denying treatment to a
dying woman because we want to preserve the life of her unborn baby.  I
think that's a pretty normal position held by liberals.  Please remind
me where the horrible crime is that I'm excusing?

Some conservatives want to force women who have been raped to carry the
children to term, or want to deny lifesaving medical care to women whose
pregnancies have gone wrong in ways that endanger their life.  Are you
sure it's only liberals who seem willing to excuse horrible crimes if
punishing them would hurt their agenda?

Note that I say "some conservatives".  A great many conservatives
approve of neither of these things.  Some conservatives don't even want
to ban abortion.  But hey, if we admitted that we'd have to actually
start arguing with each other instead of tilting at imaginary monsters
of our own creation.  And worse, we'd have to think up our own opinions
instead of borrowing them from folks like Rush.
