Wow, an IQ of 140 apparently doesn't bring enough emotional intelligence to refrain someone from boasting with stuff like this on a message board.

Only a simple mind would understand pi as "smart". The beauty of pi is the following: being just a number (ok, with infinite decimals) - simple - but still being much more than that - it has depth.

Star Wars is a past-time, a hobby, etc. Pi is something to research, to study. I suppose this may be different to some people, but those are the general assumptions.
You are a truly ignorant person if you think that there have been more things written about Star Wars, than about pi. It isn't just applied to geometry you know.

Oh, and Star Wars is sooooo shallow. I will even say Star Wars is POP. People looking for real sci-fi will look elsewhere.

Let me add my "grain de sel" here, if I might...( although, my cold is not improving and my brain is still out in vacation!)

Shutting down the board won't solve anything!

The best way to put a quick end to this war is to continue to show that the world does not support a war. If you are not from UK or USA, the best way to stop that war is to put pressure on our own country to not go to war and to not give support to Bush. If you are from the countries already at war, them you have to protest, write to newspapers, make threats to not re-elect...


What all these solutions have in commons???

Communication and freedom of expression(if it still exist) ! AND this board can promote communication and freedom of expression. This board is a way to communicate our disgust against this war. Just by posting here, we reach lot of citizens from differents countries, these citizens can them put pressure on their local medias(if there not already corrupted) and tell their government that they don't support war! This board is still a free media were can show our opinion!

So Keeping the board open is actually a good thing!

Why is this board still online anyway? It should be temporarily shut down as display of protest!
Communism you say? So just because YOU disagree with this war the board should be shut down. I guess it is your way or the highway. That is a great attitude.

I love this line, one of my favorite!!!

this board is great: is it free expression for both anti-war and pro-war... and i've always said that if you can have both side of the story in the same media, then that is real free press!!!

Actually, I'm pretty shocked about what's happening as well and KidA's idea is not so out of this world.

After 9/11, I shut down the old Jovitalk and entire DC site for one day... and I think what's going on now is even worse...
