The Thread for Mega to post all his links to instead of starting new threads every time

[rj1]

Seeing as he always passes on links to start new threads, that's about it, and rarely states his opinion on matters, and most usually only garner a few posts, I figure this idea can cut out some thread spam and we can that way leave more important stuff on the News Forum Front Page longer.

You could propose a new forum, such as:

iTulip.com > Public Discussion Forums > MegaNews

or less ad hominem and with perhaps a better chance of long term usefulness:

iTulip.com > Public Discussion Forums > NewsQuickies

You don't think Mega has opinions? This anti-American opinion is still fresh on my mind...

Multiple posts reflect Mega's view of many Americans as being either dumb rednecks or genius financial cheats. Agreed, his posts are typically short, but when he does allow a peek inside his mind, it's a scary place to be for a "yank".

Aw shucks, rjwjr. One must go easy on the Brits you know. They've had a bit of rough century of it, falling from the worlds super power to a small island slipping into poverty. One must allow them their odd humor and warm beer.

A bit more seriously, there is a fine article in The Dallas Morning News explaining the decline in the American work ethic since the 1960's at Steven Malanga: Whatever happened to the work ethic?.

This article might offer Brits (and others) some insight to some of the major themes of American culture.

Ah. So you're not just racist toward Americans, you're racist toward White Anglo-Saxon Protestants?

Not my culture, so it can't be "the American culture". Me and the people around me work hard, we're required to in order to make money to live on.

One must allow them their odd humor and warm beer.

Having brewed many a keg I can tell you Brits know more about beer than most. The storing temperature for maturing brew is just about perfect also for enjoying it's eventual ripe flavor. The flavors of commercial brews are so inferior that it's not surprising people drink it cold.
