| Superheroes Go To Public School Has anyone ever noticed that, in movies and comics, the villians are always the only educated people in the story?
I mean, we have Dr. Doom™, Dr. Octopus™, Dr. No™, Dr. Evil™, etc.™
What does this say about education? That it corrupts the mind?
Are uneducated people more likely to be nice? Or just more likely to be bitten by a radioactive spider and hide behind a spandex suit?
Are uneducated people merely jealous that they didn't think of taking over the world first and are therefore locked in a passionate, eternal, envy-driven fight against those who think more quickly than them?
Is frothy urine really so bad after all?
Discuss.
Oh, and as is the new trend in all of my threads, all subsequent replies must employ the use of the ™ symbol under penalty of law, including, but not limited to...yada, yada, yada.
Discuss™. |

Those commas are not necessary.

Sentence fragments.™

Sentence fragments. | I like the commas. There is nothing wrong with them.

| I fixed the problem!™ At least one of them.
Seeing as I don't watch superhero movies or read comic books, there's not too much I can add on the subject.
