Is that the B board?  I ask because I have a strict no-4chan policy.
Wait... didn't /b/ die a while back? Its been a while since I have trolled those sacred halls so my knowledge may not be current.

The mainproblem i see is that tim had the combination to his fathers weapon-bin. Even more frightening was that some of the farthers weapons as well as a good part of the ammonition was not secured in said bin as far as i heard from the media.

edit: edit so it makes sense

Unpleasant places where people say stupid and inappropriate things.  I just ignore them and keep my distance.

"Inappropriate" is a matter of context. It is appropriate for people to say ridiculous things on 4chan, as 4chan exists for the purpose of saying ridiculous things.
That's weird, I thought it's actually an image board, and not an idiocy board.

Yes. It's an imageboard. That's a technical detail and says nothing about the culture surrounding it. You're comparing the type of site it is to the type of people who are on it and the type of behavior they engage in, and that is BS.

Then again, you're just making a smarmy comment that probably wasn't intended to make a whole lot of sense.

Strange, the chan boards usually state they exist to exchange images and not to display idiotic behaviour. So yeah, it's perfectly valid to hold the intention of the site against the "culture" surrounding it.

Saying that they exist to change images is like saying that this site exists to exchange words.

Yes, that is what it technically does.

But yes, it is going to draw a certain crowd, develop a certain culture, and talk about certain things.

You can't tell me to believe you don't know how internet communities, or communities in general, work.

You're borderline trolling right there.

Seriously though, how are 4channers "misplaced"? 4chan internet culture, as a community, is pretty ridiculous by design. It's just how it is. Saying that people are misplaced for belonging to a community which acts the same way as them is kind of ridiculous.

You started it with saying it exists for saying ridiculous things. Which is just wrong. because the place exists for exchanging images. Seriously, how hard is that to understand?

The crowd it attracted over the years is actually disposable, how about letting them kongregate in a place that doesnt fill a purpose other than collecting idiocy? Because the chan software actually can fulfill a useful purpose.

I think 4chan is leaking into here through the links and images. GET RID OF THEM! QUICK!
