Disgrace!!! Friend unable to get GEEK POINTS!
« on: October 18, 2005, 06:25:56 AM »

Dear people,

Today, something terrible has come to my ears. My friend, good people, is unable to get geek points at www.thinkgeek.com
And do you people know why? WHY? Cuz he lives in Holland. People! Holland! The best and lowest country in the world! Its so great I can hardly find words to describe my dear country, good people.

But back to the point.

Only AMERICANS can collect geek points. What kind of discrimination is this? We dutchmen aren't black! People! Of all the horrors in the world, my friend has been utterly discomforted by this cruelty.

People! Let boarders disappear, let geeks aller lände join and collect GEEK POINTS. I cannot be responsible for my friend's action if he stays GEEK POINTless.

I end my case, good people. I hope you have shed some tears. My friend has. Rise against American tyranny!!!

And you want to call Americans bigots in your little rant? Its probably done because of legal ramifactions between the countries anyway. Do you think that just because its on the internet it has to be for everyone anyway? Boohoo. Quit complaining.

Agreed, sociald.  I'm sure if TeraHammer were to foot the bill for an international lawer to hammer out (pun intended) the legal details for all of the internet connected countries in the world, ThinkGeek would be happy to extend geek points to everyone.

Now, I must ask, because I'm curious, and full of commas, why on earth would you, a seemingly intelligent individual, come to The Geek Forums, OMFGLOL!!11!, to complain, or if you please, piss and moan and cry about something, a trivial something at that, which we, the fine citizens of The Geek Forums, OMFGLOL!!111!, have absolutely no control over, rather than taking the issue, if you would go so far as to call it an issue, straight to the person, or persons, with whom you have the problem, or issue?

That's the one that pissed me off too.  They should give Hollandish people geek points and not black people?  What the fuck is that?

Oh yeah, and since I have no idea who you are, I don't care about your complaint.

Americans are bigots? I never said that. I thank every American for sending sons (and daughters offcourse) to save us in 1945 from Deutschland.
However, lets take a 60 year jump in history, good people, to our modern time, for the good people here who can't count. Iraq. Careless of the EU, America invaded Iraq without having any proof. Bush. What did Bush do with the terrible disaster in New Orleans? Well, good people? He played guitar and he fished. He FISHED! The one person who shows what American mentality should be about, is careless of other people and the biggest bigot in the world.

Good BizB, again the impotence of thinkgeek shows. There is no forum there. If there is, could you plz move this discussion to that plz? Thanks dude.
I must correct your last comma-sentence. You say
Quote from: BizB
Bla bladiebla bla... rather than taking the issue,  bla bladder bla bla , or issue
I compliment you on the use of some many comma's in one sentence (actually, you should call Guiness) but that last one is grammatically incorrect. If you do discuss here on these boards, plz use correct english. Thank you, good people.

First, it is "dutch". Second, I was metaphorically speaking. I have actually a black brother-in-law. He has the exact rights as us, he is just as good as any people. Never heard of Holland as the most multiculti state in the world? We've got lots of Turks, South Americans, people from Maroq, Indonesia, and even our country, good people, is flooded by Asian, crowds gaping at our magnificent monuments.

And thanks for honestly saying that you don't care. I appreciate that, in contrary to other bigots, good people, here on the forum who think every newbie should be slaughtered at once, like this chap here who couldnt even think of a proper name:

First, you need not teach me forum manners. I have been administrator for two years of an browser game with more than 5000 people. Do you want a joke? Well here you have one. Two ghosts are walking down the street. Says the one to the other: "hey, you lost a tissue!" "No," the other replies, "thats my son!" Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Ha.

Lets translate your last sentence, shall we? "Don't come storm in and complain, you look like an American"
Well well. Look here who is hypocritical...

You just go on believing that, there skippy.  It'll get you far.

And, for the record, the mistaken comma was admittedly wrong; however, in my defence, it was left in the sentence after an edit that made it obsolete.

I'm aware.  I'm actually part Dutch.

Now calm down and go introduce yourself in the newbie forum.  While it's not really a rule here, we do like to know who people are before they start ranting about things we can't change.

That's what I was getting at when I said I didn't know you.

Let me guess ,xolick. This is your way to respond to mindless bush bashing?
But come on he really didn't do anything about the Katrina disaster. I don't understand politics at all so please ignore me. I'm hoping I'll get all the mods ignoring me :wink:


ps: only reason I put Katrina disaster is because I can't spell orleans!

Neither can the people there. They spell is Nawlins.

Also, I have a hunch that "xolick" doesn't care for "bush" either.
