So Poe's Law is correct, but it's not saying what you think it's saying. |

poe's law itself says nothing about anyone being stupid, are you a bit butthurt by mork posing as a creationist?

edit:i agree with goodbytes you are poe's law in action, you've proven too many times that you have no problem believing things even more silly than the last. its not about ignorance its about the fact that people will believe anything as long as it makes them feel safe and doesn't damage their superego.
so if a person believes things that other people find crazy, even up the ante later, its hard for people to gauge if a person is joking or not, since they could very well believe that crazy belief, along with all the others.
do you see its not about ignorance but a humorous observation about peoples assessment of crazy beliefs?

I don't find 1/100th of what you guys say or stand for as humorous --- and even less as insightful.

thats what most people say when they fail to get the joke or bother to give much thought to what they criticize.
coming from a guy who doesn't bother to learn anything about a subject they flat out with no reservation deny and he says he doesn't care to learn. it doesn't surprise me one bit that your response would be something along the lines of this AV.
i could very well say your post could be about yourself AV. then again i would be lying about half of that, i find all your posts funny,despite your intention of course
