Re: Proud to be black by girl	11-Jul-02/5:26 PM
It's people like you that give anti-racism a bad name. Can't you distinguish between not being ashamed to be <x> and being proud to be <x>? I'm not ashamed to be a human. But neither am I proud of it. I didn't do anything to achieve it. It doesn't make me better, in a moral sense than anything else. There is no conceivable reason why I should be proud of it. You are clearly not ashamed of being black, which I'm sure is fine and dandy. But why are you proud of it? Did you earn it? Does it make you a better person? I'm tempted to think this is a joke, since it is such an amazingly hackneyed and pointless expression of the 'self-esteem' that gets shoved down people's throats every time they leave their house or turn on their TV.

That's called an 'Atomic Wedgie (TM)'. Next time you are about to be wedgied, I find it far less humiliating if you self-wedgie before they get to you.

I hope, Angel_of_fait, that you weren't trying to pun 'fatality' with 'fate', since they are FROM THE SAME ROOT ANYWAY. However, I think the chance that you were attempting that pun is 1.14%, while the chance that you just have no idea what you're typing half the time is 98.85%. The remaining 0.01% is the chance that you are an inspired troll, far above the rest of us in the hierarchy of irony.

This Haiku chilled me to the bum. In light of recent events in the U.S of A, I find such remarks to be most inappropriate. What you need is a good ol' dose of American self-esteem.
Re: guilty mind by Angel_of_fait	10-Jul-02/3:08 PM
Another classic piece from Angel_of_fait. You know, judging by the quality of your work, I'd say you've won some awards for your poemes! The standard of your English is top-notch! It doesn't at all suggest that you are virtually illiterate. Keep up the good work!

I can't work out whether the last line is supposed to refer to impotence or not.
Re: Glass by Shar	10-Jul-02/9:34 AM
I should have known the potentially interesting expression of the shock of thinking about temporal antirealism was too good to be true. As these things always do, it degraded into a pointless, vague expression of 'love'.

My guess would be 'incredibly wide'.

Do you really think your token concern is going to help anyone? Is it going to cure any ill persons? No. It is not. If you feel so strongly about such issues, I suggest you stop wasting your time complaining about my wonderful poeme and start doing something useful like praying for them. Good day.

No. Yes.
Re: The Lost Laugh by Roisin	10-Jul-02/4:58 AM
I can relate to this poeme. I too felt immortal when I effortlessly broke wind.
Re: life by -=??lilaznjen??=-	10-Jul-02/4:52 AM
and torture isn't bad? you're glad that life is torture? methinks you just wrote some meaningless drivel that happened to rhyme. I'm afraid you can't be top of the class today my child. However, you may be bottom. Take this dunce cap and go stand in the corner. Turn around. We don't want to see your face.

Great! I'd always wanted to read another poeme about spring! And now I can! Bless you!

I'll thank you not to describe your revolting pornographic video rental habit on poemeranker. 'tis wickedness.
Re: Angel Cager by OneFingerAnswer	9-Jul-02/11:41 PM
I don't get it man. Surely worthless peasants shall be deemed unfit to partake of the crusts of the elders?
Re: AIDS in a Glass by -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.	9-Jul-02/11:36 PM
AIDS is never funny. I'll thank you not to speak of such a serious issue in such casual tones. Good day.
Re: Where are you Eric? by Eric Johnson	9-Jul-02/3:00 PM
I ask you: Is it your own God who causes your lines to stretch across the screen for several miles? O Cruel Jesu, I swear I didn't know it was the reserved plunger!

My God. Metaphor AND reification?!?!?! What will you think of next??
