I remember owning Zbbrox before and you brought it up, god i knew you were retarded but man i forgot how stupid you are.

This is the funny part, i am talking about this thread with my biology teacher and he is laughing his *** off at you guys, he thinks its funny how a retard from South Africa, the most racist country in the world, thinks that it is reasonable to think that a radioactive spider would transfer its powers to a human but washing his costume is illogical. You have another loser that thinks that gays are mutants, and that AIDS is not a disease. You have a queer like TobASScofag that thinks he is special even though he is a 30 year old virgin that lives with his parents and has yet to be right about anything. THen you have Zbbrox who thinks that Seven Samurai's is better than The Godfather and that the opinions of 20000 people out of the WORLDS POPULATION is a valid sample set. He thinks that the millions that like Michael Bay are wrong and their opinions mean nothing but the opinions of 20000 people are correct and fact. INSANE ISNT? Money means nothing i guess, because i guess to that loser movies are not about entertainment and money is not a sign that people entertained it, even though reality proves him wrong.

P.S. TobASScofag if i were you i would never make fun of anyone ever especially since you have yet to ever be right about anything.

So snorklemoron you have a degree? So did they teach you in college that gays are mutants? That there are no diseases? That Cancer is natural? That cancer patients are mutants? That genetics mean nothing? That traits are not valid and yet if you have a recessive trait, LIKE SICKLE CELL ANEMIA, that means you are a mutant not just a person with a recessive trait? What hick college did you go to? Southern Baptist college?

So tobASScofag did you tell you mom you are a mutant because you are gay? That is what you are saying, you morons think that all gays are mutants because their parents are not gay, which is the stupidest thing ever said.

aknddon3, I'm just going to ask you a series of simple questions.

1: Let's say a father has a gene with nucleotide pair aa. The mother has the same gene with nucleotide pair cc. The child ends up with nucleotide pair ag. Is this child a mutant?

2: If said child is not a mutant, please tell me exactly what genetic circumstances constitute "mutation" as opposed to a "genetic mistake."

3: If sickle cell anemia is not the result of genetic mutation, how did it come about? Where did the genes come from initially?

4: Show me where anyone here said that *all* diseases are the result of mutation of the human genome. AIDS is the result of mutation in the genome of a virus, cancer is generally the result of mutation of specific cells within a body as opposed to the genetic material of the person as a whole, etc. We all realize this.

5: Is genetic mutation incapable of causing disease, in your opinion?

6: Show me where anyone said that a radioactive spider transferring powers to a human was reasonable. You made that claim, back it up or back off.

7: Show me where any of us said that all gays are mutants. Show me where any of us said that anyone born with any trait their parents don't share is a mutant. The fact is, if you are born with a GENETIC TRAIT that your parents don't share (that is, a gene or order of genes that cannot be traced to either parents), you are a mutant. But for your line of reasoning to be correct, we must have said that being born with any observable trait not shared by your parents makes you a mutant. I know that I, at least, have said no such thing.

8: How much radiation would a common household spider need to be exposed to to become deadly when it bit a human? And what type of radiation?

9: How do you know that the fictional radiation that irradiated the fictional spider than bit fictional Peter Parker met these limits?

10: If you told your biology teacher the truth about what was being said here instead of the unsubstantiated lies you repeated above, do you think they'd be laughing with you or at you?

11: Do you do weddings? I'm getting married in March, and this is gold material you have her, man.

Can you please send me one of those fancy aknddon3 decoder rings in the mail?

Once again, you're making absolutely no sense. Of course cancer is natural!!! Why? Did you think it was created by alien scientists somewhere in the Gamma Quadrant? Of course diseases exist! Has anyone EVER said otherwise?

What you're not getting is that some "diseases" are the product of genetic mutations.

You seem to think that *I* think that if a trait which is not visible in a set of parents, shows up in an offspring, that it makes the child a "mutant."
For one thing, I don't even like the term 'mutant.' You keep using it and it means nothing. If you're expecting genetic mutations to create something like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or someone who can fly, then you're in for a very long wait. Mutations, day to day, aren't that sexy.

Your gay child from straight parents example is also meaningless. The first thing you should know is that NO ONE knows for certain what causes homosexuality versus heterosexuality, just like no one knows for certain what the genetic indicators for obesity are. Genetics is a lot more complicated than you seem to know. For instance, you imply in your gayness example that gayness must be a "recessive trait" because it shows up in a child born to straight parents, therefore each parent must have passed on a recessive "gay gene." You don't know that! No one knows that! Geneticists are searching for all kinds of genetic explanations for all kinds of things including disorders, personalities, body type etc. So far, to my knowledge, no clarity has been found on the issue so you're making a BIG leap by implying that gayness must be the result of a recessive gene. Sheesh.

Quit making generalizations and find some facts to back up what you say. And please stop putting words in peoples' mouths.

I think if you just put down the beer, take a deep breath and READ what people write, you'll see that you've gone off the deep end.

aknddon7:: Say what you want about how stupid we are, but YOU seem to think that Ang Lee and Jackie Chan (and Kung Fu FFS) are Japanese. They are Chinese... CHI-NESE. You know, like from China and stuff.

Sushi - Japanese
Chicken Foo Yong - Chinese
Kung Fu - Chinese
Karate - Japanese
Roman Polanski - NOT Chinese OR Japanese
Michael Bay - See Above
Aknddon3 - From Michael Bay's A$$

Awwww, look at him go!

He's so cute when he's angry.

Jacog, I think you're right...he's starting to spark now. Look at that paragraph. He's so angry that he's been beaten, he's just starting to spew names and hate speech now. He thinks he's funny. It's almost on the level of beat and soul poetry now. Look at this:

TabASScofag! WHINE! I can't WHINE stop you because you're a WHINE 30 year old virgin! Wait, no! You're 12! NO, YOU'RE 30!!! Can't...make...up...my mind! He's a ***! A VIRGIN! Lives with his parents! Let me say his name again because I think it's CLEVER: TAB"***"COFAG! Get it??? See what I DID there??? I put "A$$" in the middle of Tabasco! Then I put *** in there! Oh my god! He's a mutant, too! Let me drop THAT in there! TobASScoFag is a mutant gay! And he's Thirty-Twelve years old! I OWN HIM LIKE I OWN ALL TWELVE YEAR OLDS!!! 12 YEAR OLDS WORSHIP ME!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

Damn, Jacog, you're right.

Dude, zbbrox! I was gonna say, when you were describing that dude who thought box office was better, I thought, "I swear that was aknddon3". I've had that debate with him, too. He has yet to prove that quantity of cash equals quality.

Now that I've seen his MySpace, I know what I'm dealing with.

Maybe if he got his tongue out of Stan Lee's butt long enough to debate, he might actually win one.

It is very funny to watch people argue over the science of comic books.

It stopped being about comic books on page 3. We're arguing real science. aknddon3 is just being a stubborn git.

He won't come back, either. He knows when he's outnumbered and losing. If you look at prior threads with him, he always leaves after he's been disproven enough and outnumbered by the majority of the boards.

I agree. It's not arguing over comics anymore as much as it's about teaching Aknddon3 about the basics of human life.

Makes me wonder just how sheltered he is. I mean, does he sit at home, in the dark just mumbling to himself? When his Mom opens up the blinds in his room, does he crawl into a fetal position and say, "AAAA! LIGHT!!!"

I mean, not knowing about how comics and movies and movie budgets work is one thing...but to not know the basic fundamentals of science, something as basic as natural mutation and evolution...and to go off and make racist, homophobic remarks for no reason other than to make up for what ever knowledge he lacks in life...well, that's simply pathetic.

It makes me question the very existence of a higher power when I read the comments he makes simply because I believe that, if there is a God, he or she doesn't make mistakes. Apparently, either God DOES make mistakes or Aknddon3 is an imp from hell that hops around your ears and pulls on your hair and covers your eyes and annoys you until you get him to accidentally say his name backwards so he can disappear into thin air and not bother you anymore.

Heh! That was pretty good.

But yeah, Aknddon3, when it comes down to it, would apparently rather run away from an argument than admit he was wrong. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

Somehow I knew when I saw this thread bloom from 53 to 120 posts that Aknddon3 was somehow involved. Take a lesson guys it's useless to argue with him. Has he brought up his science teacher to back up his idea's yet? That's always a classic.

No, not yet. But, you're right and I've said it, too: when aknddon3 gets involved, you double or triple your thread posts easilly.

You know...I should mention that, while Aknddon3 goes to ASU, he lied in another thread and said that he goes to Notre Dame. I should know. He rubbed that in my face, telling me that my degree from SJSU was "worthless" and that SJSU is nothing and while SJSU is one of top ten schools in California, ND is one of the best in the nation and blah, blah, blah.

Little **** LIED and goes to ASU, a nice college to be sure (my cousin got a degree in hotel management there), but it's one of the biggest party schools on the planet next to Chico and Cal Poly and not even NEAR the caliber of Notre Dame and he's telling me that MY school was crap?

Oh, the Wizard's all bluster and special effects. Pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain, indeed.

It's a wonder he's even going to college.

aknddon3 is currently at ASU, but he went to Notre Dame High School For Boys in Niles IL. Students at that school (Catholic) are called "dons", and from there you can see what his name means:

a - Andrew
k - his surname
nd - Notre Dame
don - It means "man"

And I might be able to shed some light on his very poor debating skills. I found this piece on several news sites...

"GRAYSLAKE - A Grayslake man who taught religion and coached debate at Notre Dame High School in Niles has been charged with exposing himself to teenage girls on two occasions, Grayslake police said Friday."

This is my first time posting on this site and I have to say, I've laughed, I've cried(with laughter) and hell, I even learned something. I think this thread alone will keep me coming back to this site. Man that guy aknddon3 is an idiot.
