Well, that's just terribly inefficient. We don't become better humans by accepting something that's inefficient. If I'm making quality comments, but I'm still being prevented from posting, something needs to be done. In this case, it needs to be lifted. If not for everyone, at least for this account.

What does she need a dick for? She's already got tentacles, and all these instructional videos keep teaching me girls love tentacle rape. They always seem to find ways to get raped by tentacles, so they must love it!

This is very true, but if you live in a world of complete honesty, where we talk about all our problems, instead of worrying about them, the people who choose to live there will solve more problems. Then it won't matter who chooses not to learn. We'll revert back to the natural way of creating order out of chaos by spreading good ideas, and not bad ones.

People who recognize good ideas will build on them, and tell other people. It will snowball until so many people have these good ideas who are living extremely successful lives that the people who chose to believe their misinformation will have to adapt to survive in the new world.

If you choose to continue living in our current world with all its problems, and we don't act as we'd like other people to act, no one else will le

Let's build a better website to help us all learn. Essentially, lower the barrier as low as we can for entry, and for change. Editing your idea should be encouraged. Everyone should be able to fork an idea and run with it. There will be no comments, just forks. There will be a front page with all the ideas people post, in a stack, which is never destroyed or cleaned up. When an idea is posted, it goes to the top of the list. When an idea is forked, it goes to the top of the list. That is how we'll come up with better solutions faster. And we'll learn how to learn faster. There will be no usernames, but also no restrictions as to what you may say in your message. You can always mention your name, if you want.

Requirements:

• No requirements to entry other than being able to enter characters into the computer.
• No requirement for a unique identifier (user name, email address, etc).
• No restrictions on what may be discussed.
• Everything posted to the site must be saved.
• No idea is thrown away, ever.

    This (unused) decorator adds a `passed` attribute to `func`, a dict whose
