I joined Misplaced Pages for a simple reason. To have sex with the boss. Ignorance and misunderstanding are, in my humble opinion, the greatest sources for the difficulties and struggles mankind faces in this day and age. I strongly believe in the idea of people sharing their knowledge in an easily accessible, neutral, fact-based forum such as Misplaced Pages. The internet has presented us with a new tool to make this world a better place. Misplaced Pages presents an essential step in using this great global resource to improve the human condition. I, like many people, not only have a craving for knowledge but also a perhaps equally strong desire to share at least part of the knowledge which I have acquired. I strive to add useful, educational and wholesome information to Misplaced Pages. I believe that no credible believe or theory should be excluded. Furthermore I believe that we must be as through as possible in our attempts to educate those who come to Misplaced Pages in the search for information. For me, Misplaced Pages is a place where the internet has full-filled a part of its promise, to provide a place where people can come together and share their expertise. | ||
