Just for the record -

Post by Bengaley »

I don't agree with Ralph's politics. I tend to gloss over when his comics go over religion or politics.

Personally, I think they're pigheaded and wrong.

Why am I saying this?

Because while I don't respect his politics, I do respect him as a political opponant, and do recognize that he is more informed on the subjects than I am, usually. Its always interesting debating Ralph whenever the subject of politics comes up, especially since he defends his viewpoints and attacks others contrary (Or even just different) with a vehemence I havn't seen since my friend got bitten by a donut.

The guy ate the whole dozen. Only they were Krispy Kreme Original Glazed, so he threw up right after... >.>;;

Where was I? Oh, yeah.

The thing is, there are others that share Ralph's political veiwpoints. Now, I don't like hating people over something as trivial as politics in a forum dedicated to a comic that we all love (Or else why are we posting here?), so I figured out a way to deal with it:

Each first post by each person, in each thread, shall be treated, for the purposes of opinions, fueds, arguements, and angst, shall be the first post I have ever seen by that person on the subject.

Erm. That is, each thread shall be its own world when it comes to that, and shall not be influenced by others.

Or, at least, I'll try.

So, if someone gets my hackles raised in another thread, and posts something else in another thread, I will reply nice and calmly to the second thread, and then proceed to attempt to flame the eyebrows off the person in the first thead.

Why am I doing this? Well...

...because this forum IS dedicated to a comic that, at the very least, I love, and that I'm going to give you all the benefit of the doubt and ascribe to you the same reason why I am here, to talk to others about a comic I do enjoy.

Everything else is incidental. I don't want to have bad feelings when I come to this forum to talk about Tales of the Questor. Hell, I don't even want stressful feelings.

Why am I posting this? Its part of a vain attempt to try to explain myself, and an attempt to declare that I am going to try to leave each topic to its thread, and not let my actions towards ANY person (Except Solidus, cause I hate you with the fiery passion of a supernova) in any thread, effect my actions towards them in other threads (Except Solidus.)

There. Said it.

(Just kidding, Solidus. I love ya and if not for the fact I'd be shot at by many people, would hug you :D)

Its good to vent your frustrations Ben, maybe in not such a public way but none the less I think your approch on things is rather mature considering. I bet you feel much better now too :)


And now for something, compleatly difrent: an excert from 'Harry potter and the half-blood prince'.

Hermiony: Harry! Harry! I can't keep my feelings locked away any longer!

Harry: *razes eye brow looking like he's got lucky* Realy?

Hermiony: Yes it's true! *swoon* My Lust for Hagrid burns with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns!

Harry: 0_0

Hermiony: And yet I cannot bring myself to tell him of my true feelings! Harry, will you do it for me? Tell him of my love?

Harry: ... hell no.

*freeze frame*

Narator: Will Hermiony ever express her feelings over hagrid? Will Harry avenge the last custard creem that Malfoy swiped at the brakefast table? And will Ron ever get layed by anyone but Moaning Mertul? Buy the book to find out!

(sry, I was strangly inspired by the 'intencity of a supernova' coment)

Awww man, come on hate me, you know you wanna do it. Please I need the kist to be bigger and longer of the people who wanna see me in pain and agoby. I allready have a fe countries on the list.
Yes, sir. I agree completely. It takes a well-balanced individual... such as yourself to rule the world. No, sir. No one knows that you were the third one... Solidus. ...What should I do about the woman? Yes sir. I'll keep her under surveillance. Yes. Thank you. Good-bye...... Mr. President.

Nah.

If you're cute, I can't hate you. Its one of my flaws. :D

As for venting, Astral, I just want to make things clear, so people I'm yelling at and calling names in one thread don't get confused when I'm nice to them in another :D

I don't agree with anyone's politics but I don't let it bother me. I have too many Laissez Faire (governement keeps its grubby "hands off") ideas for the left wings and too many socialist ideals for the right wings and I am definatly against that wishy-washy "middle" or "third way" stuff. I'd start my own party if I thought I could find anyone else with my strange mix of views!

Ill admit I dont necessarily share RH's views (Im as far from a conservative as one can get, politically, I dont blindly follow someone's else's version of what is religiously correct for me, and I find the idea of "survival of the fittest" social policies repulsive)

I can respect the fact that those views arent being shoved down my throat at all.

The forum threads on politics are optional to read, and the comic, well, as far as Im concerned, the only way to make them better is to have more of them :)

In seriousness, thanks, all. I love the threads make me laugh. They make for a great respite from the never-ending close-of-the-semester homework.[/i]
