Answer to Seil-meister's question:

Some People are dicks, either just because, or for some odd-ass reason.

Our society is racist, homophobic, and sexist.

People learn a healthy part of their behavior and personality from their surroundings, including their culture.

Put 'em together and you get racist dicks.

Stupid Wikipedia, % is for irony, Barbelith.com thought of it years ago. It's on everyone's keyboards, just waiting for widespread use.

%But of course a character no one understands or can type is much better.%

First I've heard of that. Strange the Wikipedia article doesn't mention it as an alternative.

I'd just as soon use the percent sign as any other mark.

Because A) the inversie question mark was down in the 19th century, making it an easy hundred years before Barbelith giving it easy claim to inventor and B) Barbelith.com is a steaming pile of shit that noone reads!

Smarty, you disappoint me. I read your name and rushed here, expecting to be dumbfounded by a 3-paragraph, 500-word block of text regarding bigotry, the existence thereof in any capitalist society, the corruption of human nature, the guilt of the education system and how everyone who doesn't let non-british individuals into casinos should be shot, all connected through tenuous logic, idealism and a convoluted, yet compelling style of argument that would've put many revolutionary leaders to shame.

Instead, I get this.

I'm deeply, deeply disappointed.

We've had a designated sarcasm symbol for over a hundred years and no one knows about it? I fear the struggle may be meaningless.

Hahahaha, I actually did starting typing that out and had set up quotes from basically everyone in the thread but then thought- No one was going to read it- why bother! So I put that instead.
Consider this Smarty 2.0
