Matrix Games Forums

You guys are far too tough on ignorance.

Without it, we would have no need for consultants, most managers would be fired, armies would be demilitarized, and there would be massive political upheaval. Oh, and most religions would be abandoned (opiate of the masses, anyone?).

There would be no need for web forums to discuss the most arcane and inane aspects of the eastern front.

One man's ignornace is another man's job. So, if you like full emplyment, support ignorance!

[All in good humor, guys. No flames!] :p

Teletubbies and Bob Builder

Teletubbies have been on for about 4 and a half year home, my oldest loved it and now my second has to see it. Both love Bob Builder so it is to set some times were they can look on the TV and yes the Japanese movies is not good.

Mark, all,

I'm glad this forum goes round and around seriousness and the silly!

I'm going to add one further conquerer to the Moscow argument, all in good fun of course...

In a bold and decisive manuever only surpassed by the invention of the Happy Meal, General Ronald McDonald and his army of fully armed, well-trained Hamburglers invaded the pricipalities of Moscow in the latter 80's (the exact date and time escapes me in my fit of reverie). Throngs of Ivans rounded the block for the Big Mac, the Quarter Pounder, and yes, the dreaded McRib, all in an effort to affirm their cholesterol craved occupation and submission to the dreaded, but alarmingly tasty, clown cadres.

Laugh and learn

You know, I haven't seen a Ronald McDonald commercial in *years*. I'm surprised anyone still remembers the Hamburgler.

Reminds me that I read about that campaign some years ago. I was very surprised that such an attack could ever be successful. Just have a look at their deployment: two armies (the 1st Beef and the 2nd Chicken) in a frontal attack side by side. Their flanks and rear only protected by the Salad Division and the allied French Fries Corps. Astonishing.
And the fact that neither the Russian elite troops (the famous Vodkas), nor the Russian winter could stop the advance and turn the attacker into soft ice still irritates me.

It looks like this thread has come to a sad ending. From entrenchment, manpower problems, taking McMoscow, to the hamburgler. It looks like everyone is fried, unless someone eggs us on and shakes things up.

My, how war degenerates to the basics. An army marches on its stomach after all. Sausage biscuit anyone?

Dave,
it is entirely up to us, isnt it? My 2,5 years old girl has more books then most people see in entire live. And she is not forced to - she asks me for something new about Winnie the Pooh on every day basis. Funny to watch when she pretends she reads and make up stories. Sure she loves TV, but thats something we cant do much about, I guess. I just make sure she doesnt watch japanese cartoons, but I know by heart Teletubies and Bob the Builder LOL.

Well then lets expand on Maciej's unfair tactic of supplying books to his kids.
If you want your own kids to grow up with half a brain you have to expect at some time or another to have to explain why they are picked on at school. I used the example that most would use.

" Those kids are envious of you. You do well in class and that gives them the ***** cause they think they should do well without using their Brains." (minds)

They do not understand that the mind gets bigger with exercise just like muscles. If you want your Brain (and thus yourself) to work better then you must use it.

All Peoples have the option to use their Minds.
They just need to be taught that they can.

PS. Using the 'Mind' does not involve getting up in the morning or making coffee or any other 'habit' rituals. It involves application of ones mental powers to deduce and or synthesise ideas or concepts that stand unanswered or (if you decide so) answered wrongly.
The most important word in any language is 'why'.
