Lol. Sorry. Last comment misfired.
Aside from that I may confirm my membership of the 1%. Hilarious. I wish that more people could be as witty.
Jonny:"Yes, he was a terrorist, but so was Nelson Mandela, these people went against the goverment, but were also freedom-fighters and were great people."
1. Government comes with a free "n".
2. Che was a terrorist by your own admission. Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist/freedom fighter that fought government. The current global vibe is that terrorism is a negative attribute on a resume. It is good to see that a few "thinkers" (not nazi fags) provide a counterpoint to the status quo and advocate terrorism.
3. Upon closer inspection one discovers that there is indeed little to distinguish communists from the fascists when you look at their interaction with people. Stalin killed 50 million Christians. Perhaps you need to be put in a gulag and have your family shot....as you seem to support commies. Just a thought. The only cause you have to shoot a purported "nazi fag" is sarcasm stemming from irritation with witless followers of mass media and their Pavlovian responses.
Perhaps when Mogga and Jonny7 learn to comprehend written material they encounter and discover their emaciated sense of humour they will cease to behave like the followers of the very men they claim to revile.
Q. Why is it ok to openly hate people who are accused of hate crimes? Are we breaking down? I find it comical that Hitler is bad because "he had concentration camps and killed families" but commy7 thinks this behaviour is justified when dealing with nazi fags. Is it the nazi or the fag that goes to the camp? I thought Hitler did concentrate the fags; this must mean that jonny7 at least in part agrees with fascist philosophy. Mogga can be construed as being "fabulous!" as he appears to hate twats. Or maybe he is just a racist sexist. The irony!
Andkon! thanks for the desktop. It makes me smile.
Jonny7 and Mogga...well, you make me laugh.

How is Che Guevara anything like Hitler. Che Guevara supported communism, hitler supported facism, their complete opposites. Also Che Guevara was hardly a tyrant, he fought for the liberty and freedom of the Cuban people, instead of the dictator which America supported. Yes, he was a terrorist, but so was Nelson Mandela, these people went against the goverment, but were also freedom-fighters and were great people. Your just some Nazi, fag who needs to be put in a concentration camp to see what it was actually like. You might think death is cool, but if you saw your family shot in front of you by nazis, you may think differantly.

I suddenly remembered this site. I'd just been going to the arcade in school and lo and behold there's updates
Andkon, you have a G-spot? News to me...
Trophy spouses are disposable.
The ads have to open in the same window, that's the condition of the ad networks I use. Sorry :-(
Mare, thanks. Unfortunately, the site isn't updated, but perhaps reading all the entries will take a while: http://www.courageunfettered.com/rightings/headlines.php
Hey andras, can you tweak the ads on the arcade a bit? Just the google one in the middle of the screen... make it open a new window instead of taking you to the site..... real pain in the ass when you're halfway through the game and accidently click it, thereby negating all of your playing.
Found you while searching "memes and religion". Was here, liked it, will come again. et oui, Je regarde Jaques V. Come on over to Belgium, the weather is fine!
When I get around to it, I'll post more :-) woot
Woo great to see thsite back in action. And yes we all know of the professor's sexual)or asexual) indiscretions
Holy crap... people still come back? That's crazy.
First comment of '07! Yay!
And how much more they change in another! Great year, great year.
Like you, I have my own domain name and hosting, but for e-mailing I still prefer gmail. I just love the simple clean design, fast search, message threading, e-mail forwarding, absence of image ads, blackberry compatibility and so on. Who cares if google is a billion dollar empire? They create added value, revolutionize e-mail and introduce other web innovations. There are far worse billion dollar empires out there dealing with drugs, weapons, trafficking, politics... or does google invest in any of these too?
you suck, nobody is interested in your trolling about mozilla and your anti-communism at all. go hang yourself
Haven't been back to your site in a while Andras, though I do think it is funny that you got that email heh. Remember Bonita Rull? I bet she still gets it too, so don't feel too special.
Andkon: What's with this need for validation? That's what trophy spouses are for.
That's actually rather amusing, although I support Angelfish.

Wow, seriously though. Very weird...
.... you need to update, son. I check every damn weekend, praying you have a new article. I CANNOT GO THROUGH ANDKON WITHDRAWL!!!!
How long has it been..:'(
Oh crap. Server moved. Latest comments deleted. Not like anyone's here anymore though :-)
Here in Washington state minimum wage is $7.50 an hour.
AHHHHH! THE ECHO IS SO LOUD IN HERE!
As least I'll be the last person to comment here.
Hehe, I think it's automatic... they just never quite removed me from the system.
They seem rather remorseful for failing you if they still send you their newsletter
way ahead of you...
You should set his house on fire :-)
It worked for me. My friend just came for the arcade, then told me about it, and I loved the arcade. I checked out the rightings and loved them, even though he thought they were pointless.
I MUST OBJECT YOU WHORE! POLITICAL COMMENTARY DAAAAMMNNNIIITTTT!!!
Sweet
New games will always be added each week.
Booo. What about games?
Woo hoo! *pushes vote button*
I like Opera the most as well.
I personally use Opera.
It gets the job done for me, and I think it works better than FireFox.
But what do I know, I'm an idiot.

Yea, I had to download a theme in order to get the tab option.
Another problem with the site is that it's not informational enough. Like Firefox has plenty of good features, but they don't actually tell you about it, so people obviously don't get those features.
The #1 advantage Firefox has over IE is TABS... Well, guess which button was NOT INCLUDED by default on Firefox 1.0? TABS! I mean it was like, what the fuck are you guys doing? So there went millions of people probably.

Yea, I noticed they progressed more towards your idea in mozilla.com. I downloaded it, and it has it's perks, but I like IE much better.
Yeah. If you notice the evolution of mozilla.org/mozilla.com (check archive.org), you'll see that their designs have actually been slowly progressing towards my recommendations. Maybe two years in the future they'll have it like I had in two years in the past.
I also warned against the current stagnation in posts on Mozillazine, and of course was laughed at. I predicted that the rate of downloads would eventually stabilize so that Firefox's market share would really not grow. And for the past year, it's been stagnating around 10% without much movement. With IE7 coming out soon, Firefox is going to have a hard time reaching out to anything more than rabid fans. That could have been avoided.
For example, I did mozfest.com (still up), which says to test designs to see which design (or change in text, color, not necessarily anything major even) would garner the most downloads. The groupthink and arrogance of the Mozilla Foundation prevented them from considering it. It's really sad because a split run test that I proposed would have been REALLY simple to set up.
Considering that in the advertising world there's some banner ads that get 20X better click through rates than the average banner, it's really frustrating how supposedly brilliant people couldn't see how a simple test could have easily doubled or tripled (or whatevered) their popularity.
Firefox and Mozilla is going to be around for quite some time, but they're never going to beat or even come close to Microsoft's numbers in the browser arena. They kicked themselves in the balls too many times for that.

Oh, I'm sorry. The site I'm talking about is mozilla.org. Not mozilla.com.
This has nothing to do with this, but I checked out and read your entire "Is Mozilla.org Bleeding Away Potential Users?" article in the Stuf Archives. Even though the article is seriously outdated, your page was much more user friendly than theirs. I just went and checked out the actual page, they don't even have a damn link to download firefox, or even to an info page about it. You have to search the damn site. They should've just taken your idea.
Took me a little bit, but I finally got that math site. That thing was funny as hell. And thanks for the little red button, just had to press it.......then regret it. In this case more than usual.
As do I. But the math site is pretty funny.
I regret clicking there.
Well they can't all be O.J. Simpson trials.
Cheerleading is not that simple...it takes a lot of strategic thinking. And it takes lots of control.If we dont have excact calculations and excact markings, we could end up paralyzed or DEAD! Cheerleading also forces you to take care of yourself. So the day any of you low-life shit talkers can do a cartwheel/roundoff/backhandspring/back tuck combination and not end up dead...Ill sit down and little to your un factuated opinions...and by the way...cheerleaders need to keep a 3.0 grade point average or else they get kicked off the squad and banned from all activities. So we are smart! HA!!!
You know, I never understood how people could actually be hit by those trains... Cars I can see because they might be stuck and traffic and unable to move... but people? Come on. That almost qualifies as too stupid to live... its like darwinism.
Hehe...didn't notice the link, then again I don't click on banners.
Im liking it Andkon. The Noam Chomsky parody is great.
Test-icular cancer
Test-icle.
It's not an ad!!
I don't mind a small banner like that, as long as you don't put in any annoying pop-ups.
No problem man. Just wonder why no one else caught it. YOUR SLACKING PEOPLE! CHOP CHOP!

Hey there guys. Man dont ad gencies suck the big one? Must be such a pain in the ass/arse for you Andkon.
Anyway, im looking forward to seeing this new Noam Chomsky parody, should be good. Oh, and i concur with The Reverand, the rightings definitly RIZOCK.

Thanks redmeat, it's working now. I'm not sure why I didn't upload it...
In addition to the last problem, it's only doing it for that dark room game, the new one you put up. Every other game is fine.
Ok, guess it hyperlinks for you, nifty.
Ok, I click a game to play it. and it takes me to this page
http://www.andkon.com/arcade/puzzle/darkroom/
Dammit I wish you could hyperlink here. Anyway, it takes me there, then I click on the arcade link, and it takes me to the arcade, like I just went to the place it relocated the arcade to. Then I click on a game, and it takes me to the exact same grey page.

They work for me too. What's the exact problem?
And no, the daily rightings won't be renamed and the layout won't change. There will be a frontpage that will link to the different parts... it'll be a parody off Chomsky's site... I would have already set up that, but my host is acting retarded. You apparently can't host more than one domain without either paying money or setting up some quasi-elaborate thing for free... It'll be sweet looking.

WHOA! I can't play any games off of the arcade, it says you relocated it and the addresses changed. But when I click the link, and try to play a game, it goes to the same page again. Help.
Fashizzle
At first, I was very heartbroken at the prospect of losing the rightings, but then I refrained from crying out in anguish before I finished reading. It is at this point, I read on and realized that this is merely a slight setback due to the nefarious stupidity of ad agencies. Anyway, I agree with the Reverand, the Rightings RIZOCK! I don't know the meaning of Rizock, but I suppose that it is not a negative comment.
Well this will give you an opportunity to make a new layout and rename the rightings "courage unfettered". :D
Anyway, there should definitely be a link on the Arcade to the Rightings. THE RIGHTINGS RIZOCK!

Hmmm... yeah, he even used to have a subdomain, but he didn't really update it so it lapsed when I had server problems. He's still on AIM though.
What happened to The Reverend? He used to be a frequent poster on here. And If I understand correctly a friend of yours.
I also just love the timing of it. This hits the final nail in the coffin of my college adventure, but courageunfettered.com will soon open. It's like the ending in The Power and the Glory: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/powerglory/section12.rhtml
Yeah, I liked it too. It's easier to have one single site to upload stuff to than to have to login to two different sites, but apparently ad networks are unable to figure out that just because two sites are hosted on the same domain that it doesn't mean it's the same site, despite the fact that they have completely different layouts and content.
Although I might set up an Andkon Collective or whatever site, so the current frontpage with the links to arcade, blog, (and whatever new sites might come in the future, like the now dead 24/7 Caption Contest) might remain.

That doesn't suck THAT bad, but I still like the layout you ave now. Being able to choose between the arcade and rightings, then switching without changing websites is cool. That's just how lazy I am.
Lmao. A bit late on that one.
That slippery one... that comes in a bottle...
I'll remember that. Now which kind does he use?
By far, this is the most commented entry ever. Considering how there's at least 100 readers every single day, I'm not sure why this doesn't happen everyday.
Which is why I said only the sources part was directed toward you in my post. The other half wasn't.
Savage belongs to a special class of small-minded bigots. He has called for the arrest of politicians based solely on their opinions, the murder of a 100 million Muslims, and said hundreds of thousands of Americans need to go internment camps for having the wrong beliefs.
Of course, he's a millionaire from all the garbage he has sold.
Of course, he's a millionaire from all the garbage he has sold.
Sorry i thought Andkon said that last comment so diregard the last post, and red meat shut up! You did direct that comment towards me u idiot and you know it, you even said my name!
Then how come you said that Michael Savage was fired for telling a gay to die from AIDS? Theres nothing wrong with him saying that.
Did I direct that comment toward you? No, I didn't. What I said was in a general sense. (the sources part)
I guess you support gays... or am I wrong?
There's a difference in sources: there's sources like Michael Savage (who was fired from MSNBC for telling a gay listener to go die from AIDS) which are merely opinions and sources which are actually facts. People can use these facts to make an honest interpretation or forego that part and just use old biases.
It's unfortunate so many in America just want someone to reinforce their preconceived conclusions: a first-world country with a miseducated third-world population.

Also, Andkon, if you are so certain you are right, go make a call to Michael Savage, he tells the truth, unlike you... I agree with almost all of his political views
You can shut up red meat, I have actual sources... and Andkons sources are liberals who bend and stretch the truth... And my sources are factual if you would actually read them... idiot
Anyone who is reading this argument can see that Andras is right. Nate's word's are no more than completely innacurate. And you should've listened to us when we said don't debate with Andkon, unless you have everything sorted and it's factual, from actual sources.
Ah. The dolphin will still always be known as Johnson though
And boy will there be many mishaps!
Man, i loved Paddington Bear. According to Wikipedia, his story goes like this:
This gentle bear was found at Paddington in London. In the first story, he is found there by the Brown family sitting on a suitcase with a note attached to his coat which reads "Please look after this bear. Thank you." He has arrived as a stowaway coming from "Darkest Peru", sent by his Aunt Lucy. He tells them that no one can understand his Peruvian name, so the Browns decide to call him Paddington.
They take him home to 32 Windsor Gardens near Portobello Road, and the stories follow Paddington's adventures and mishaps in England.

No, I'm not saying that all are harmless (although NONE OF THEM had connections to 9/11), but that's beside the point. The United States likes to use the evil of others as a pretense to invade countries for its own selfish purposes. Yeah, Saddam is a bad guy, but that doesn't mean invading his oil-soaked country is the only option.
I'm merely correcting your *completely* inaccurate statements. I find it frustrating that this discourse follows this basic trend:
Nate: Hitler liked to murder puppies by suffocating them.
Andkon: No, he didn't.
Nate: Are you saying the Holocaust never happened?
Here's a fun video for everyone: http://tinyurl.com/qf9wv
And here's a list of arguments that don't work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_fallacies

So are you saying all 3 of those countries are totally harmless and innocent and had no one linked to the 9/11 terrorist attacks? Thats far-fetched to say the least!
The Israeli ally stuff is total nonsense: they don't send troops to anywhere and the intelligence they share is godawful, the whole WMD and dubious al-Qaeda links in Iraq. The only reason the US is allied with Israel is because they buy our weapons, which in turn produces more terrorists for them. It's that simple.
And get your facts straight, or preferably not from CNN/Fox News/Bullshit:
Iraq has never threathened to attack the United States: Saddam was our dear ally until 1991, including when the US government turned a blind eye to his genocide. Even after a brutal sanctions regime that has killed hundreds of thousands through starvation after the Gulf War according to the UN, Iraq has not threathened America. That's the real surprise.
Syria has never threathened to attack the United States, although we did overthrow their democratically elected government in 1949, which is the reason why they have a hostile government today.
Iran has never threathened to attack the United States, even though we overthrew their democratic government and installed a dictator which then led to Islamic Revolution. The President of Iran has said he wants to wipe Israel off the map, but that's not America and that's an altogether different story. Stop conflating and confusing things.

Israel is a good ally becuase they have always been on our side and they share nuclear and other bomb intelligence with us. They also have a good record for never threating to attack an Allied country, or actually attacking an allied country like other Middle Eastern countries have including Iraq, Iran, Syria, and others.

Nate, can you stop foaming at the mouth like some rabid dog? Thanks. Just because facts shatter the fantasy reality as presented by the "liberal" media (owned by some of biggest weapons manufacturers in the world) does not mean you have to be completely irrational. You're merely asserting things like a bigot repeating lies that were told to him. You're no different than the overpaid talking heads on TV spouting their bullshit without any evidence.
Why are terrorists any different than other criminals? Why should an ineffective strategy be pursued against terrorists that ends up creating more terrorists? Why is the 200,000 too high? If bombing terrorists works, why are over 2500 soldiers dead and over ten thousand injured? Why should we stay in Iraq despite the fact that Iraqis don't want us there?
If there was a serial killer loose in NYC, you would not bomb the state he came from. You would not bomb the neighborhood he hides in. You would not indiscrimantely kill those around him. So why do that to terrorists know that it will create MORE TERRORISTS?
These are of course questions you won't answer and just continue on with spouting your pre-canned responses that you've lapped up like a good doggie from your mindless CNN, Fox News, and all that bullshit. Tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of soldiers will die, but surely you'll still be waving your flag and screaming "BOMB BOMB BOMB IT WORKS!!!"
And what does the Holocaust have anything to do with Iraq, me or even Arabs? Have you blown a fuse in your brain or something? And instead of smearing me as anti-Semitic, could you tell us how Israel is a good ally? You've avoided that question for a while now.
