Title: Rant about This!
Post by: The Jade Knight on September 10, 2005, 04:56:04 PM
Okay, the point of this thread is to post things that aren't so much "cool stuff found on the internet" as "things that make me want to rant", or the like.  So feel free to post political links, current events links, etc.

Please put a description of the link with the post, so people know what it's about.

Also, please refrain from ranting in this thread.  If you need to rant, start up another thread, so this one doesn't get swallowed up.
