I was discussing the merits of BB3, not world economics. If the Nazi empire was a good money spinner, would it be right for us all to embrace it as a way of life ?

All I am discussing here is BB3.

Do you think any threads which criticise BB3 should be made unreadable ? Is that what discussion is about ? ”

B100dy hell, Leanne. Forgive me for sticking up for you. Next time I won't bother - I'll just post something like, 'My my, we ARE an angsty little thing, aren't we?' and then you'll get really upset.

Anyway this thread just got invalidated by Godwin's Law, so what the hell.

Godwin's Law :-

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

There is a tradition in many (Usenet) groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.

Q.E.D.

Night all. Off to watch BB C4 and then Banzai. Then I gotta make a living in the morning...

haha! sorry about that tone - see you reading this thread!!

so you are now stating publicly BB knowledge!!

I'm afraid that I weren't watching it when she was in it. However, I normally agree with yr view on women so I'll go with yr choice. Certainly not any of the wopmen in there at the moment.

Johnny's quite nice tho.

But in the live chat when I was in there they have the pictures up there, so I can see what they're like, and I know going on appearance is shallow (so perhaps I should post in the BB forum ) she certainly looks the nicest of the girls. Then Adele, Sophie, Alison, Lynne, Jade, Kate.

a somewhat controversial post tony!

I did make an intellectual post but someone criticised it for bring boring :'(

Sunita does look quite nice. Adele looks a bit bony tho, Soph a bit lanky? /all very subjective I know - sorry!

Tim is a bit of a hunk.

You're right... Sophie is a bit lanky, but she does have a nice face. I think it's Sunita's smile that does it (gee, I'm a sucker for a nice smile).

But then I thought Elizabeth was the nicest from BB2, but my memory of BB1 has been blighted by watching too much of it. The Irish lass was nice.

Elliott and Tony
I'm slightly confused: what's your conversation about? You're talking about Sunita and she's gone. You do know that, right?


Jack

I agree with Leanne's opening thread. The sooner its over the better.

I can't believe that people are so nasty in this forum about the housemates. Especially all the pig and jade stuff. She's only just turned 21, and while admittedly she's no Einstein, that doesn't give anyone the right to ridicule her.

I know the argument will be that she's set herself up for it going into BB3, but how wise were you when you were 20?

Can you imagine how she will feel when she gets out and can read all this? How her family must already feel?

From what I have seen on this forum, how totally awful people can be to others, I worry about the future of the human race.

Has anyone else heard about that experiment in the USA where strangers where invited to send electrical charges through to other peoples that they didn't know. Almost all of them complied to a varying degree..

Most of you remind me of the sadists, sad people who dont have a life or too stupid too understand whats happening

There were actually people involved in the experiment who would have sent enough current through to kill the person on the other side.

Says a lot.

Helloooo Lady Knight nice name. mmm.

Anyway , I agree, and i agreed with Leanne and others that it was very sad that people were being so bitter and horrible to Jade.

As a former Psych student, I can tell you that you're referring to Milligrams experiment, which was to do with how well poeple respond to authority. Not quite sure what the connection is with the postings on this forum though.

You sound sensible, i hope we have some more input from you: as some of the forum comments scare the SH1T out of me.

I would agree that if we all ended up as BB addicts the future of the human race would be a worrying one.

The only comment I said was shallow was, 'viewers = money'. Although this may be correct, it is still a shallow outlook and adds nothing to the production values of the programme.

Shallow outlook? What are you talking about? Sorry if it spoils it for you, but BB is a gameshow - designed to entertain the viewing public and hence make money for the TV company.

You may think it is shallow, but I would say that moaning that it isn't as good as BB1 or 2 is shallow.

Also what production values are you blabbering about?

This isn't a controlled scientic experiment, it's entertainment.

Thanks

we've all stopped talking to Leanne until she starts making sense.

OK cool I can go with that.

I'd prefer her to stop talking until she made sense though

Did she define her production values yet?

That's it. End of Thread. It seems as though people cannot respect each other and seen as no-one has posted anything remotely near the thread title of BB Penalty Shootout since about page 2 (of 5). I am closing it.

LC and cerebus. This is a warning to you that next time you start or continue a flame war in future than you will be banned from the forums. This is not the place for it.

The arguments you were having should have been taken to email posts and posts ago. This isn't any of your email accounts so simply do not post such childish arguments in future.

If you have any problems with this than email me or any of the other moderators - addresses of which can be fouund in our profiles and the little icon below
