It's amazing how an icon of such a filthy site is the most influential. I strongly feel bad for these generations as they get older.

The site isn't filthy, the people who frequent it are; including you, newfag. Don't think I haven't noticed.

I was totally turned off when someone started to post nude 8 year olds claiming that it was their sister and that they get turned on when they hug. I'd easily go insane and more than likely on a killing spree thinking every human was a devil if I hung around 4 chan. |

Then again, I never went there before. Out of all the forums, I'm guessing you hopped on /b/ one day when some perverted douche posted CP. The pedo bear got him, the thread was deleted, the IP was banned. Sorry you had such a bad experience. |

o.o;;
I really don't go on 4chan. Majority of the terms you guys see... that comes from Anon themselves lol... I really wish I could give you the channel on IRC but it's out of my jurisdiction, serious. |

4chan is a billion orders of magnitude worse than CB. It's filled with millions of stupid copycat drones that think they're part of some super elite secret club. They go around the internet congratulating each other for being /b/tards, thinking that their shitty metahumor is funny, when it only serves to make them look retarded.
The only thing it has going for it is the variety that comes out of the sheer volume of posts being made every day. When you're throwing piles of shit the size of mountains, of course some of it is going to stick. |
