The Founding Fathers

edited April 2008 in Social Entropy++
No, good people of SE++, I am not referring to the founders of the United States of America. I draw your attention to the founders of places very much like SE (and sometimes the polar opposite); the founders of the supposed 'Internet' by which we converse. Fifteen (that is 1 and 5 in numerical terms, positioned together if you will) years ago, some dudes got together and signed a document in Microsoft Word that allowed anyone to use the Internet free of charge.
SIR TIM BERNERS LEE, a dude who signed the document, said: "The web has been a tremendous tool for people to do a lot of good even though you can find bad stuff out there."

SE, what good have we done? Retrospectively, are we a bastion of hope for the Internet or we will bring it down someday in a flurry of furries and cocksdickslols? Where is the Internet going for us? What will the television news, the professors of the Ivy League or the Pokemon League, one day say of SE?

    I'd like to think of us as protectors of the general populace keeping the horrors of the internet at bay like some sort of Maginot Line, but really we're just a clump of bunwad in a sea of shit.

    While that is an absolutely spot on parody and completely mirrors the original, it is also undeniable proof that GSM is in fact a raging weeaboo fagoot
