Technological and new information and more knowledge.

What part of forum, do you not understand?
The forum is packed full of information, you merely need to seek it out.

Wow, Intro to Temp-Ban in under 36 hours! Is that a record here for non-spammers?

Nah, but he's in the top 10. Now lets see if he can, at least act like an adult when he comes back tomorrow.

The narcissism is strong with this one.

Here's a hint, kid: The more you know, the more you realize you don't know. True knowledge and wisdom doesn't require someone to brag about accomplishments to random strangers. Listen, show respect, be willing to learn from others (or at least hear them out), and you'll be fine. Acting like a douche because you ran a company once is a good way to get on a lot of ignore lists.

Solar has an issue with arrogant kids that think they have all the answers.

Some of us outgrew it. Others became Democrats.

QuoteYou'd be better served by listening to the members rather than trying to cram your warped version of history on the forum.
Keep in mind, most of what you claim to understand as history, most of us remember it as if were yesterday.
Yes, we have a contextual understanding of yesteryear in relation to current day issues.

I notice you've got a new BANNED emoticon, but a comment above says this is for temporary bans (presumably also for those trolls who get permanently-banned). Later, you do say it's temporary.

May I suggest you use that emoticon solely for permanent-bans? It becomes confusing when someone suddenly returns and everyone goes into a "I-thought-he-was-banned" thing until YOU have to explain he was but now he isn't. (After that it devolves into a Marx Brothers routine.)

...On the other hand, talking about the new emoticon is more significant than wasting time replying to someone who simply isn't there, physically or otherwise.....

Unfortunately that's the only icon available, unless Taxed knows of a work around, that's all there is.

It's 15 by 15 pixels. I'll wander down to the Weasel Works™ and see what I come up with....

TEST



This came out 29 x 29 at 72px (the Internet standard) in a .GIF format like the other emoticons, only large enough to read the text....I hope.

I think I can fit the text into a dunce cap but then I'd REALLY blow the image-area sizing.....   

You might very well be well versed in politics, business, and so forth, and you might be above average in raw intelligence, but arrogance is surely not a virtue, and it's not something to be openly boastful about. Instead it's something you should aim to diminish.

What is arrogance? Arrogance is overbearing display of pride in oneself and self importance; arrogance is vanity, and vanity is hollow and lacking in substance. It's all show. An arrogant individual is less likely to admit ignorance, and therefore more likely to remain in a state of ignorance. Like another poster said:

QuoteThe more you know, the more you realize you don't know.

And the more you realize you don't know, the more you try to educate yourself in response to not knowing, and the circle just keeps going round and round.

I guess another way of putting it is "If you stare in the mirror all day, you won't see the world around you."

Normally that's ture, but so far nobody here has posted something so far that I didm't already know or know to be false.

Solar, I'll ingnor you if you ignore me.  You are the only one on this board I don't get along with and like.  Thank you.

I do look in the mirror and all there is is me.  Anyways, I do recognize smart comments, but i have yet to see one yet.  Only been here a short time, so please surprise me guys.

Doesn't work that way son. Now, you still have that question to answer, so get to it.

Then I'll ignored you.  I answered your irrelevant question.  The more you push it the more irrlevant it will become.  Fair warning.
