As you are probably aware, about 75% of what is posted at tb.info is potty talk, lame insults, and 2 word sentences commonly associated with 5 year olds. The 75% figure actually makes this site one of the most intelligent on the internet. Most boards are around 97-100%. I have been dwelling on why this is and have come to an important discovery:
Internet conversation originated with the writing on bathroom stalls.
For centuries before the internet, where was the one place where people could have exchanges in text with total strangers that was open to the public? It could only be the public bathroom stall. And something about the public toilet has always inspired a regression in intelligence, be it the germs, the smells, the illicit cigarette, the fecal matter, or the observation of genetalia. Every single public bathroom, from the local Wal-Mart to the Harvard Business School, from the House of Blues in LA to the Stop and Shop on Cape Cod, has inspired grown men to communicate with total strangers at an intelligence level lower than the kiddie urinal. Thus, it is no wonder that every internet forum follows in kind. This is nothing more than highly advanced bathroom banter. And most internet forum posters should probably wash their hands after typing the the filth they post.
well stated wolfy...
:drool: illicit cigarette :drool:

Messages on school desks are a similar inspiration. Did you ever have a conversation on a desk with someone who sat there during a different period? I had several, the best being when I egged on some kid named Carlos to the point where he wanted to fight me after school. I gave my name as Mark, who was another kid who I didn\'t like. Word around the cafeteria was that Carlos wanted to fight Mark. Mark had no idea why, but was so dumb that he actually went to the rendez-vous point after school and got his ass kicked. I couldn\'t believe it, and kept the joke to myself. In fact, this is the first time I have ever told anyone that I was the man behind that incident.
Mark is my cousin, ya bastard. . .
Antbach: Come to the junior parking lot after school. Look for the red car pouring out bass. Don\'t be a
**** ****.
(That was the actual message from the desk, I still remember it.)
Was only kidding, but if you felt bad for even a milisecond it was worth it and that\'s what you get for for your \'one and only\' owned post from last night. If not, consider that my most retarded post to date. . .
Best message I\'ve ever seen on a bathroom wall: "Why look here, the joke is in your hand"
Then you looked down and laughed, right
Oh, actually, you probably cried :lol:
So what is .info? A shitter or desk in the back?
i know 1 single factor that might account for the discrepancy in intelligent conversation on this messageboard vs others of its kind and that would be that we have pretty much all known eachother for years, in real life?
