Che, very good point I guess, I just find it utterly fascinating, it just makes me think how intelligent humans can be without the distractions of modern media, most of these guys seem incredibly intelligent and have come from very deprived areas.

Re: Chat Thread
John can you answer a question or two in my thread in general discussion?

To be fair to modern media, I would say the average person is a lot more intelligent these days than they were before. When I say the average person, I mean reasonable adults and not the mental 15 year olds that make up a lot of the internet.

Yeah I suppose I did tarnish it with the same brush there, modern media has helped greatly over the years and is expanding at mega rate.
Time for bed, haven't been this early in about 9 months.

You need to make up your mind crump.
I agree with crump that the media serves as a distraction to people (which I think can sometimes be a good thing) but I don't think it makes anyone stupid.
I do think it can negatively influence society however.
It's why I try not to let my younger brother watch too much television. But, short of spooning his eyes out there is little I can do to protect him from the media's influence. I try to talk to him a lot about it and ask him how he feels when I do let him watch television though.

Just found out that the Lion king was a rip-off, slightly mind-blowing.

Kimba the white lion. Damn it, I can't be at peace with rip-offs that don't admit to being rip-offs.

Also ripping off the response of Chinese engineers who reverse engineer already established products. What bastards.

I like how he coordinated it with the defender. Kinda a douche move, I must admit.
That chapeu (putting the ball over the guy's head) was ridiculous though.

Was looking through old school football pics from the daily mail, never saw a black person. When did England let them in?

Just found the phrasing of that sentence somewhat amusing, nothing to do with anyone's safety really.

I hardly ever see black fans at Forest games. I've always wondered why there's a lack of blacks/Asians at football games. You see plenty of them out and about in everyday life, and they love football just as much as white people do.
Maybe it's due to the stigma still attached to the terraces that makes them not bother going. I always hear racist remarks at Forest games from older generations and the odd wannabe football hooligan youth

I have two gameboy SPs and my only gameboy game I can find is Donkey Kong. Not even the real donkey kong, some shit one. Need some shit to keep me occupied on the toilet.
I'm half way through "The Body" by Stephen King purely reading from the toilet.

I was just thinking how weird it is that Nitendo still dominates the handheld gaming world.
I probably get more fun out of my brother's 3ds than I do my xbox these days.
I think they are cashing in on my nostalgia. It's like the Mexican National Football team and their American tours.
