That this blatant, publicly admitted scam is somewhat still around is a credit to the amazing level of stupidity of some humans. Impressive, really.
blatant public scam? link? I can say random words and state they're facts as well. Example - You're a douche bag and a fudding troll that never lost their virginity, fact!!
And you are 100% free to do that or think whatever you choose or, more precisely, fits your agenda better. It will do you a great service to have a little respect for your "elders" though... but, again, you are welcome to shoot yourself in both your feet. Or your mouth. Your call.
