Hmm, time for another post I guess? Not that there’s any point in hoarding this stuff.
Anyone play Mirror’s edge
That is all.
Oh hey the haloscan entry for this comic was a massive 350 comments, with some good discussions in there too, so I rescued ‘em
I claim this comment box in the name of my people.

Man, that just ruined my day.
And my day included 13 hrs at the office and a case of diarrhea.
There’s probably a moral tucked in there somwhere, but I guess i’m too sleep-deprived to find it.

Sheesh! So some of y’all aren’t happy with it. Oh well, I’ll just go hide
I was thinking how I end up attributing motives and emotions to my husband that aren’t nessesarily there. We all do it to some extent or another. The official shrink type word is transference. Stalkers do it to a insane level.
Here’s what he started with.
________________________________________
Once upon a time, a very serious and thoughful cat fell in
love with a butterfly that it saw fluttering about in a garden.
“Do you love me?” asked the cat.
The butterfly drank nectar from a rose.
“You do! You do love me!” The cat was consumed with
rapture for a moment. Then it asked, “Always and forever?”
The butterfly began to flutter away from the rose.
“Traitor to our love!” screamed the cat as it captured and
shredded the butterfly with its claws.

That “Fuck the South” thing? Is horrid. Awful. I’ve lived in both, and as someone born in the North currently living in the South I have never understood the attitude that these two are mutually exclusive. It’s like a child not wanting his peas to touch his gravy. It’s juvenile.
Does no one see how hypocritical it is to hate the South for hating? Or, to put it more eloquently, responding to something you hate with that same action in kind is not only hypocritical, but stupid and backwards.
Here, watch, I can makes sweeping generalizations, too! The North is more openly racist (especially NYC), the people are more rude, and you have to spend most of the winter inside. I think they’re mostly just jealous that people in the South drink more and have fun.
BUT just because I generalize and say that doesn’t make it true. Just pisses Northerners off. But you want to know what?
Declaring oneself a “Northerner” or a “Southerner” only serves to separate us more. What about those of us who spent equal times growing up in both atmospheres? The Mason-Dixie line shouldn’t still be determining our behaviour. The Civil War ended over a hundred years ago…LET IT GO. That goes especially to those from the North…you bring it up more than those from the South, as if those living currently in the South are still in some way responsible. Jesus, people…you want to blame them for slavery too? “Timothy, I understand you are only 8, but you were born in Virginia, which means YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HATRED AND TORTURE THAT OCCURRED OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE YOUR CONCEPTION. So says the North!”
I think I can safely say that the North has a lot to learn from the South, and the South a lot from the North. We have to remember that we are ONE NATION. Regardless of whether you accent has a twang or you enjoy the cold.

You’re fucking retarded. You’re blowing it out of proportion. Why are you worried about beng seperated from the North? It’s merely stating that the mojority of people in the South are hypocritical, stupid fuckwads. Fuck you.
And this is coming from a Texan.
Tabachi | Email | Homepage | 11.21.04 – 5:30 am | #
Dude? You totally missed my point. My point is that the North and South should’t HAVE to be separated because we’re all one nation. EVERYONE is hypocritical regardless of geographical location because it’s a human trait. The majority of people, period, are stupid hypocritical fuckwads, so pointing at the South for it is sorta like the pot calling the kettle black.

You know what’s even more fun? Being a gay, atheist, and Green-party-voting girl living somewhere in Texas other than Austin.
But I’m still proudly a Southerner. All my family has been (except for one British grandmother, but she was insane, so she doesn’t count) and I consider myself as such. And even should I move from this large, dry, windy land known as Texas, I doubt I’ll get any father north than Kentucky.
And yet, all over the internet, I find my liberal “brethren” from the Northern states saying things like “fuck the South” or others saying things like “the mojority of people in the South are hypocritical, stupid fuckwads”.
I think you all are a bunch of idiots. Where you live DOES NOT decide your political alleigiances besides some social influences.
Look at the statistics: 51% voted Bush. 48% voted Kerry.
You honestly think all of those 48% lived north of the Mason-Dixon line, and those 51% where down here yuckin’ it up in the sticks? This insane need to define geopgraphical divisions to what are essentially cultural and political divisions is idiotic, immature, and just plain stoopid.
This is NOT North vs. South round 2.
Look, I know a lot of Republicans. I can’t help it, given where I live. (Not to say the split here is 99%-1% or whatever the hell else you think. Have you tried more along the lines of 65%-35%? That 35% is a helluva lot of us “hypocritical, stupid fuckwads” who don’t follow the Republican doctrine.) Not all of these Republicans are the crass, fascists-disguising-themselves-as-American Neanderthals you seem to think they are. In fact very few are. Most of these people are wonderful, thinking, decent people. To say that they are evil, or mindless zombies, or have low IQs because of how they voted is just wrong.
They voted for Bush because they thought it was right. This is America. They’re allowed to vote for who they want to! That’s what makes this country so wonderful! To demonize them just because they didn’t like your guy is wrong on so many levels. A lot of people out there need to accept that people will think differently from them.
Accept that the South is not a bad place, just because a majority of the people here didn’t vote the way you wanted them to.
Accept that not everyone “up North” voted for your guy, either.
Bushites are not evil. Most of them are decent people.
Liberals are not the embodiment of good and justice and equlity.
Get over yourself, and quit generalizing. And even if you do quit generalizing, how about taking it a step farther and not looking down on everyone at the other end? Everyone who voted, or even didn’t vote, has a right as a human in America to think the way they do. Quit judging people by how they voted.
In fact, how about not judging in general?
Wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing if everyone in America just embraced the differencs between everyone here as a sign of how diverse and free-thinking we as a people

Oops, I didn’t make the limit. Here’s the bit of my little rant again:
—
Wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing if everyone in America just embraced the differencs between everyone here as a sign of how diverse and free-thinking we as a people are? That maybe, just maybe, nobody is right, and nobody is wrong? That we, despite all of our differences, are Americans, no matter how had we wish it wasn’t the case?
That maybe, we don’t have to make this “us versus them”, but a chance to try and understand each other and find the happy middle ground between us?
But nevermind, that’s a silly thing to wish for.

I think that a lot of internet liberals were just confused at how ANYONE not evil could vote for that obviously EVIL man Bush.
To try and understand, they jump of course to the simplest conclussions.
1. Bush voters are evil.
Well if thats not true, then;
2. Bush voters are stupid.
Well some of them are niether evil or stupid, how do you account for them?
3. Bush voters are insane.
Aaie! I dont wanna even go there. What about;
4. Bush voters are dupes.
Thats a lot of dupes. And lastly;
5. Bush voters are pathetic.

I don’t mean to fan the flames any, but I can’t, for some reason, bring myself to keep my mouth shut.
I don’t think that most republicans are evil or stupid. I was raised in a family full of them and I can tell you for sure that my father, for one, is incredibly intelligent and certainly not evil.
That doesn’t change the fact that I just don’t understand why they voted for Bush. I’ve had countless discussions with them and none of it makes any sense to me. Maybe I’m naive but I’m sure as hell not stupid and I understand most things that are worth understanding after thourough conversation. I still don’t get it. They all smile and shake their heads as if to say “poor little leftist. She’ll grow up someday.” If only they would just say that they were against gay marraige and abortion then I’d understand even though I don’t agree.
I’m sure you’ve all heard the arguments for and against Bush and it’s a little too late to bring them all up anyhow. What it comes down to is just me sitting here going “how the fuck did they reach those conclusions?” My only lead is Fox news…

Being Evil is a subjective judgement. It is well known the intelligent ones are the ones to watch out for, they may not appear evil, but deep down they are rotten at the core.
See stupid people can’t hide their true selves it spills out from their being like an overflowing toilet. Intelligent people, can pretend not to be evil, and the ones that are easiest to fool are the ones closest to them.
What I am saying is that Alice, maybe your father is evil.

That Modest Proposal: Exclusion of the Blue States essay kind of reminds me of early propaganda pieces in Nazi Germany and Serbia. I know people are going to try and say we’re way off from that sort of violence, but I say we are still getting dangerously close. Our hands may not yet be on the burning logs, or even being licked by the bonfire’s flames, but we can feel the heat.
The way that our essay author suggests that we divide the country is not only political, but also strategically sound. You take your strongest opposition, and you divide them into small groups, small workable pieces. It is the same thing as chewing your food before you swallow it. The eastern seaboard, the Great Lake States and the West Coast would be tasty, easy to chew bites, and so spread out that they could not form together to form any sort of resistance.
Of course, the military and other governmental agencies would be moved out before the cleansing. We don’t want to provide the heretics with any working weapons or military technology do we? Those soldiers or FBI agents or policemen (technically a part of the executive branch, so with a little tweaking, the President could order them out too) who refused to leave their fair homelands behind would be shot as traitors. But of course, this would be either done in complete secrecy, or vastly unreported by the media. All the people in the homeland will hear is how all the good and righteous men and women who are in constant danger by being among the godless enemies are making some sort of spontaneous exodus. This is also probably the last time people will get to leave the Blue states before the walls go up.
The author points out that after the walls go up there will naturally be refugees seeking to enter back into the United States. Of course there will be, as he has so cleverly designed states that cannot be self sustaining. The food and other supplies needed to support the giant populations of these heavily urban areas will not be supplied by their neighbor states, as is done now. It is natural to assume a trade embargo will go up around the blue states. Not just from domestic trade, but from foreign trade as well. If you say that will cause major economic problems for the reds, you would be wrong unfortunately. The reds would simply fly their planes over the Blue states and put up a naval blockade around the ports of New York and Los Angeles and other cities, and re-route the ships down south, to the Carolinas for the eastern seaboard, and through the Panama Canal and up to Texas and Mississippi for the West Coast. Of course, Panama will be encouraged to wave any canal tolls both by the US and the other countries of South America, eager to use the new trade situation that focuses on Southern Ports and undoubtedly favors them.
No food, no medicine, and no fuel of any sort. No oil, no coal, and no electricity. The blue states’ hospitals will not be able to keep pace with the remaining rioting and starving
Kohrak | Email | Homepage | 11.23.04 – 6:48 am | #
populace, not without medicine and electricity. People will be driven to riot by the heat of summer, and will freeze to death in winter. Any “genuine refugees” would most likely be treated like the refugees we get from Cuba and Haiti now. Meaning that the Registered Republicans or Christians would be allowed back in, and non-believers or Democrats will be returned to live in squalor.
Of course, Canada and the UN would be involved in some ways. Mexico would probably know better, or not care. There will initially be foreign aid, such as air dropping food and medicine. The result of these operations will undoubtedly go the same way as other similar operations in other countries. The supplies will be either hoarded at worst or improperly distributed at best. Eventually, the world will give up, due to pressure from the United States.
And then, we enter the last stage. When the populations of the blue states have been thinned enough, the armies of the beast will march. They will say that they are reclaiming the lands in the name of some sort of modern Manifest Destiny. They will outwardly claim to offer salvation to those who ask for it, but in reality, they will dub most of the survivors as insurgents or resisters, and slaughter the majority of them. They will burn the libraries and the mosques and the synagogues and other monuments against Christianity. They will use depleted uranium shells, causing devastating damage to any standing enemy structures, and spreading radioactive
This little timeline is of course a work of fiction. Whatever the Republicans would have you believe, the Country is not divided along state lines so easily. http://forums.point-blank.cc/ind…pe=post& id=1875 This map is a very basic, very un-detailed and crude map of how counties voted in the election. See how a majority of the states are not simply red or blue, but purple? We are not so divided yet. The Republicans stay in power by promoting that their constituents are the minority, bravely fighting off the oppressive and sinful Democrats. They appeal to non issues that the government has no place in, such as matters of religion. They paint themselves as religious and loving, while at the same time appealing to the fears of the multiracial and atheist Democrats. They take the lessons of Christ’s love and devotion to humanity and twist it into a way to exclude and persecute and to justify hate and violence.
I sound crazy, but it’s starting now. They will find a way to come for us. Be ready.

“A Modest Proposal” Too funny. I wasn’t really paying attention to this, but this has got to be a satire. It’s got the same title as one of Swift’s essay. The one where he suggests a solution to the “Irish Problem.” Kill the ‘excess’ babies as meat for the English tables. Now I’ll have to read this, because whoever wrote was probably not being serious.

How very Republican of him.
I know, I know – cheap shot. But I can tell you as an outsider that that’s how it seems to us – the United States seems to have become a country grown too-powerful, driven by “God-given right” and the lust for the ever-elusive “more”. For every reasonable American friend I have, there are two or more people who say things like, “If we allow gays to marry, what’s to stop someone from marrying their dog next?” and “The Arabs are jealous of our freedom and money, so that’s why they attack us. We have to kill them first.” I agree with Alice – how the hell do they jump to these conclusions, except out of ignorance? And why do they insist on clinging to this ignorance, despite efforts to expose them to other ways of thinking?
Keep in mind, this is not an indictment of the entire U.S. of A., nor of all Republicans. I’m just baffled by the way things seem to be going, and more than a little nervous.

So in doing extensive research in how to best flee the country I’ve found that
-I am not eligible for immediate Irish citizenship, but my best friend is, as is my father, which helps me not a bit if he actually does go for it, which he wouldn’t anyhow, damn them both.
-If I learn to speak Hungarian I only have to live there for a year (instead of the usual eight years) to get citizenship. Of course Hungarian is a damned hard language to learn and it’s not like I can go to the local community college to take classes.

What ever happened to:
“BUSH SUCKS!”
“He dosen’t suck, you do!”
“No, you suck, and you’re a fag!”
“I’m not a fag, you’re a faggot who likes dicks.”
“You’re a fag who squatts cocks!”
And so forth. I like those arguments best.

Republican States kick out Democrat states. Lack of natural resources (mostly food), overpopulation, and relative isolation cause Democrat states to collapse. Republican states invade to reclaim land and workforce. In the invasion the bulk of dissenting voices will be silenced leaving one big country that votes red.

The Republican National Committee announced today that the Republican Party is changing its emblem from an elephant to a condom. Governor Marc Racicot, explained that the condom more clearly reflects the party’s stance today, because a condom accepts inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you’re getting screwed.

In relation to that Delclaration of Expulsion thing:
This is plain ridiculous (and yes it doesn’t sound too satirical to me – at least not when the author unveils his vision of the heavenly paradise) and is scary to say the least. I mean c’mon, social and ethnical diversity is seen as a disadvantage? What will the inbred citizens of Thompson’s future America do when their gene-pool runs out? But he’s not too far sighted to pick up on that – more on that later. And whatever happened to the fact that this land was forcefully taken from the American Indians? Are they now not allowed in the all white predominantly protestant (and repressed btw) states of America?
**Wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing if everyone in America just embraced the differencs between everyone here as a sign of how diverse and free-thinking we as a people…**
well not if:
**BUSH USA is predominantly white; devoutly Christian (mostly Protestant); openly, vigorously heterosexual; an open land of single-family homes and ranches; economically sound (except for a few farms), but not drunk with cyberworld business development, and mainly English-speaking, with a predilection for respectfully uttering “yes, ma’am” and “yes, sir.”**
I mean WTF?! Is this not blatantly facist? It will be like 18-19th century Japan with all foreigners arrested and occasionally executed (cuz the death penalty WILL flourish, not hard to guess) as spies btw.
And if you dare not to utter your “yes ma’am” respectfully enough you’ll loose your head. Yuppieee! Oh, and how exactly do they hope to get economically sound? I don’t get it. Maybe I’m just too fucking stupid.
I think I know what the problem with the Republicans is: they don’t bother sticking their nose far outside their house. Like this guy’s “fuck the world but I want everyone to live in MY idyllic vision: on a small ranch a few miles from each another” . What if I like to live in the city? I mean all it really does convey is the insecurity of the author and his fear of people I guess. To isolate everyone and then noone can make trouble. Except those not-white people. You know? Off with their heads! Oh, BTW did you know that a person living in a city uses energy at a lower rate than the one out in a house in the wilderness.
Oops, got a bit carried away there – this was not about all republicans. So yeah, like those ppl you know, alice; they think: “why does she care for all those things around the whole big world that don’t really concern her personal life situation?” prolly. I mean that would easily let them discard the consequences of the Bush re-election as matters too far away from them to concern them. And it wouldn’t be so bad if Bush was a decent bloke but since he misleads and manipulates them to let him enrich himself and satisfy his ambition while making sure the republican public sees him as a liberator of some poor tortured and imprisoned peoples somewhere in the land of the tales of 1001

So does Hyung believe in christmas, cos you know I figure Korea probably ain’t the world most Christian country, and whilst he may be an american, lets assume he may not have accepted Jesus Christ as his saviour?
It’s just I was thinking maybe for Christmas he could get a donation but if he didn’t believe in it I’d just not donate again.
Thing is if he reads this he’ll probably say, “I’ll bellieve anything for money” And then I probably won’t give him money either.
It’s walking a single line, like the golden path, and either way could lead to the followers of Hyung going on a jihad to destroy the galaxy, Only the true path will lead to a paypal donation. And it may or may not involve a cartoon.

Jimmy,
According to this webpage, 21% of Korea is Christian. “The figures for Christians revealed that South Korea had the highest percentage of Christians of any country in East Asia or Southeast Asia, with the exception of the Philippines.”
But then again when you say Christian you were probably thinking Protestant. That’s 16%, according to the document. If you read the whole page, you’ll see Korea’s history with religions is long and complex.
Christmas in Korea isn’t as big as it is here. But then again, is there any other country which spends so much money for this one day?
About your comment about how Hyung would sell out… Maybe you’re new here? Or maybe you’re joking. I can’t tell. He’ll draw comics portraying himself as a anything-for-a-buck guy. But I don’t think that’s how he is really. I don’t think he would lie about his beliefs for money.
You reminded me of a promise I made a few months ago. I said I would donate if I got a job. It’s a crap seasonal job but it’s a job. I think Hyung will be able to get the money. I’ll be making donation equivalent to three hours of crap work.

You know what? I’ll go first.
I’m a Korean, born in Georgia, but lived in California for a good portion of my life, so I’ve seen both sides.
And to all of you who still continue to generalize, despite the well written words of Page of Cups, fuck you. In fact, let me generalize about liberals.
Fuck liberals. If all you self declared intellectuals would get your fucking faces out of your sweaty colons for one second, you would realize that not everything in the world runs according to how you think. I’m sick and fucking tired of you assholes bitching and moaning about fucking seperation of church and state. The only fucking thing that means is simply the fact that the church cannot control the government. It doesn’t mean that every politician in this fucking country has to be a fucking athiest. A person is allowed to make decisions based on his fucking religious background. Why? It’s the same reason why you self righteous (admit it, you guys are just as self righteous as us) dog fuckers are “fighting” for shit like animal rights and the right for a teen to have sex, then throw away her fucking problem like a whore. And that’s another thing. Do you seriously think we are such assholes that we are totally against abortion? God dammit, shit happens all the fucking time. We know girls are raped. We know sometimes birth might kill the mother. We didn’t say any fucking thing against having abortions in those conditions. But fucking noooo, you assholes have to generalize everything we say, and refuse to look at the fucking details. You people accuse us of being uptight, over religious fucktards, but I seriously think that’s better than jumping to conclusious about a certain group of people that just have fucking MORALS. Oh, and you guys call us conservatives money pinchers, and say we’re insensitive to the poor? Well apparently, Bush states give helluva lot more to charities than blue states…(http://worldnetdaily.com/news/ article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41409) I wonder why that is? It’s probably because of our money pinching, huh? I bet….
——————————-
Before you starting replying to my message, know this. Everything I just typed I know isn’t true at all about most liberals. Really, it was just venting steam. I know that most of you are probably plesant, intelligent people, and have this country’s best interests at heart when you do what you do. But fucking enough with the finger pointing and generalization. I’m a moderate Republican, but I’m definately not how you guys describe us to be. In fact, pretty much none of us are. Yes, there are a few nutcases in every liter, but it’s true for both sides. We need to move forward, not take steps backwards. Fuck.

Hey Chakka,
Since the forum’s down I figured I’d check out the comment box. Glad you mentioned that laugh of his… (just caught the clip from The Daily Show, as always)… it literally made me shudder. It was a silent breathy kinda laugh that just creeped me out!
bleh…
BTW, when did this become a political box? And why would the artist’s religious beliefs matter? If you’re donating, it’s for his art and humor, or I that *should* be the reason.
Oh, and good final paragraph there nate, nice to meet you I truly believe in the treat everyone as you meet em philosophy. It’s easy to generalize about groups of people (be it politics, religion, sex, race, etc) but it’s our intelligence that separates us from the bigots.
So we should only be biased against stupid people. Just remember they serve a purpose. sometimes…
Tig | Email | Homepage | 12.03.04 – 11:47 pm | #
Nate,
I don’t know about anyone else posting here. But I tend to deride individual politicians, not a whole political party.
Abortion? You think abortion should be allowed in cases when a woman is raped? If you’re against abortion, what is so special about a baby born of rape? Women (and men) get raped all the time. People get raped on a regular basis at colleges. Most cases don’t get reported. Much of the rest get hushed up. But that’s off-topic, sorry. Do babies born of rape somehow not have as much right to live? I can understand if a pro-lifer says abortion should be allowed only in situations where the mother’s life is in danger. But I don’t see how you let someone use rape as reason for abortion but deny abortion for financial burden, personal choice, or whatever sob story the mother provides.
If a woman really wants her unborn baby dead, she cab do it herself. Throw herself down a staircase, coathanger it out, whatever. I think abortion at a clinic is a safer option that should be made available. We know there will always be people who try to convince them out of abortion if there is no medical need for it. We don’t need a law banning a medical procedure because it irks some people.
Separation of church and state. I suppose we all have our beliefs, including our politicians. Sure, let them say a little “God bless” here and there. That seems harmless enough. But where do we draw the line? They represent us, and we’re not all Christian. When Bush calls Islam a “false religion” and calls the wars in the Middle East a “crusade”, are we supposed to accept that as a comment from a idiot who happens to be our President or as a statement of intent to use US resources to eradicate this “false religion”? What about tax money to churches that perform public services once provided by the government? Am I supposed to watch as my atheist dollars go to helping homeless people find Christ? When Creationists assert that their belief system should be taught in science classes in public schools, am I supposed to watch as they dirty the name of science?
I’m sure you think Creationism does not belong in public schools. But some people do. Now we have schools teaching it as a scientifically valid alternative to evolution.
I don’t know what exactly you meant by moving backwards. But yes, we’re moving backwards in some ways. I don’t see liberals doing the pulling, though.
empraptor | Email | Homepage | 12.03.04 – 11:49 pm | #
They taught us both creationism and evolutionism.
Seriously, why does religion even bother attacking science?
And vice versa?
Its just asking for a fight you cant win, either way.
Leave the kiddies to make up their own minds! Have a little faith!
As for the abortion debate, its simple;
1. Women should, in general, not abort babies, as it is, in general, immoral.
2. Women should have the right to abort babies if they want to. No one should have to have a baby if they dont want to.
These two ideas DONT clash!
Unless you are a facist.
You dont want to be a Nazi do you?

Gruntathon,
Are you saying that teaching Creationism in public schools is no big thing?
I don’t mind Creationism being taught. But let it be outside a public school. Why must tax money be spent on teaching an outdated and untested hypothesis? The religious bullshit isn’t even the big issue here. Creationism is something that should be mentioned briefly as a misstep in history of science, a mistake as old and as laughable as the idea of a stationary Earth.
Creationism is akin to the extraterrestrial hypothesis of how pyramids came to be. Some people just can’t comprehend how something so awe-inspiring came to existence through subtle and mundane processes. So they go on flights of fancy and crap their pants when they find their infallible truth. Voilla. One day, a fantastical miracle occurs and the pyramid pops out of nowhere because powerful beings of whose existence we can’t verify decided a big pile of rocks in this corner of the universe is just what they needed.
Ha. I would like to see public schools teach that the Sun revolves around the Earth or that UFO’s were in Egypt.
Again, the point is… it’s a waste of tax payer’s money. Don’t teach stupid ideas to kids and expect them to recognize and reject stupid.

Awesome link!
And sif knock creationism.
The Scientific Method is not the ONLY approach to examining something.
Oh, and Scott Rosenberg quote;
“I’ll be really blunt,” said Rosenberg, “it’s a lot harder in 2004 to find intelligent people who will write a pro-Bush piece. They are few and far between.”

Creationists will have to start liking the scientific method if they want Creationism taught in a science class.
Or give up the “let’s teach about how God created everything in our public schools” thing. Because once they admit that Creationism isn’t a scientific endeavor, what excuse do they have teaching it in a public school?

Dear nate,
Thank you for your exciting and rather cuss-filled letter. In replying, I am keeping in mind at all times that what your wrote was your opinion, something which everyone has a right to express… Which, incidentally, is what everyone else here is doing when then engage in what you call “finger-pointing and generalization”. Funny, that.
However, opinions are not usually set in stone, and can be swayed with intelligent, reasonable argument. Sadly, in reading I noticed that you offered neither. What it all boils down to is choice. You don’t like abortion? Don’t have one. It’s that simple, really. Same rule applies to religious views – if you believe that everyone that has one is a murderer and a whore, good for you! Feel free to tell as many people as you want. It’s when you start trying to force other people to agree that problems arise.
In closing, you refer to yourself as a moderate Republican, just after you mention teens who have sex and then “throw away (their problems) like a fucking whore.” If that’s moderate, I can’t wait to hear a hardliner.
Yours anti-first strike, pro-choice and flagrantly homosexually,

Chakka,
I typed like a super bigotic conservative because that’s what I was trying to speak against. I think people who rant like that are idiots. You’re right, it wasn’t intelligent or reasonable. In fact, I don’t even cuss that much. (I was trying to go along the lines of the whole “Fuck the South” thing.) I am a moderate Republican, in that I dont totally agree with absolutely everything Republicans are fighting for. I am somewhat against homosexual marriages, but I’m definately against a constitutional amendment to ban it. I believe a woman shouldn’t have an abortion, but stem cell research sounds kinda attractive to me. And I don’t vote by my political alignment, but by the person running.
The whole point of that post was to show how stupid and idiotic it sounded.
And thanks for being polite in your post, even if it was rather harsh.

Nate, It’s probably an age thing. We are mostly a young techy lot. That puts us frimly in the left-leaning demographic (ignoring that I’m in UK, etc). Apparently people grow out of it. What I think most of us feel is that people should be free to do what they want, unless it prevents someone else doing what they want. Tolerate anything except intolerance.
“somewhat against homosexual marriages”, does that mean you don’t object to it happening, but would rather not look at it? or does it mean that you have moral objections to it, and moral objects to goverment preventing it, so are in a quadry? (sorry, I’ve never met any one who anything against homosexuality, and was willing to talk about it)

Grunt “The Scientific Method is not the ONLY approach to examining something.”
raptor has a point, creationism shouldn’t be taught in science class.
The scientific method, may not be perfect, especially, at preventing people getting stuck in their own niche, and not listening to new ideas. But I don’t see a better way of figuring out how the universe works than -> Hypothesis, Experiment, Refine Hypothesis, repeat.
Any kind of “revelation”, is completly subjective, and probebly dupicated by drugs or brain chemistry.

CrazyDave-
I don’t hate homosexuals. In fact, a good friend of mine is gay. But I still can’t really get used to the idea of homosexual marriage. I guess it just has something to do with my religious upbringing, but I really can’t break away from feeling that way about gay marriage. I’ve always known marriage to involve a wife and husband, and gay couples to be referred to as “partners”. It’s just the whole reluctance to change bit, I think.
As far as banning homosexual marriage, that should be left to the states, and if possible, maybe even to individual counties. But I don’t think it’s worth it to amend the freakin’ Constitution.
And you say you support tolerating anything but intolerance… I hate to say it, but both sides are guilty of intolerance. The right for intolerating changes of rights, and the left for intolerating the practice of public religion. I’m still quite upset about the decision to have the 10 commandments removed from the courthouse in Alabama. And I’m also upset about the hostility against the idea of letting kids have time to pray in school. There are many things about religion that don’t really impede on the rights of others, but many are fighting to take even those away.

Why do kids need a designated time to pray? No one’s stopping them from praying in school. Pray during lunch or between classes, when it’s not going to be disruptive for other students. You don’t need a specific time slot dedicated to praying.
empraptor | Email | Homepage | 12.05.04 – 7:23 pm | #
empraptor,
Well, first off it’s only about 15 seconds in the mornings, usually before any announcements are made over the intercom or whatever. Not a big deal. It made me happy, because it told me that people felt that our belief is important to us, and setting aside a special time to practice it is wonderful, rather than just making us pray or meditate whenever we can cram it in the day.
One thing you have to remember about us, is that our religion is GREATLY important… Just as important as food and water. It’s not just some extracurricular thing that we do every week. It’s basically our very reason of existance. Perhaps it doesn’t seem like much at all to you, but any offense against what we believe can make us go insane.
And demodokhos, we don’t believe Jesus is a zombie. A zombie is basically dead, but simply reanimated to move. We believe Jesus truly came back to life, free will and all.
What others think about our religion means nothing to us. What’s important to us is… well, what we believe. Doesn’t that make sense?
Nate | Email | Homepage | 12.05.04 – 8:34 pm | #
Perfect sense. That said, schools are secular institutions, and the onus is on the individual to make time for prayer outside of school hours. (If those fifteen seconds in the morning were the time specifically decreed by your religion, it would be a different story.)
Why are we having this discussion, anyway? This is a webcomic, for Christ’s sake. We should be talking about boobs and which celebrities (or other commenters) we’d like to commit carnal acts with – or the comic, even – not politics and religion. This sort of thing is best left to the forum, where we can properly turn it into a dick joke of some sort…
Chakka | Email | Homepage | 12.05.04 – 9:41 pm | #
Nate,
Ha. If it takes 15 seconds to pray, you can do it any time. I wouldn’t call it cramming into the day. I used to read novels all the time during breaks. If I can read during breaks, you can fit your 15 second prayers too.
Was this a public school you went to? If so, was your town heavily Christian? Did they actually announce – in classrooms – that it was time to pray? lol it must suck to go to your school as a person who doesn’t believe in prayers. Okay, kids, let’s all pray. Oh, Billy, why aren’t you praying don’t you want to be a good Christian boy?
You say that not having a dedicated prayer time somehow vitimizes people like yourself for whom religion is important. I say having a 15-second prayer break is a ridiculous farce. It doesn’t provide any real service. If prayer’s so important to you, you’re going to do it anyway. All it does is become a thorn in the eyes of the non-religious. Rub it in some more, would you? Oh yeah I love being reminded how you’re so better because your religion is the one true path to salvation.

Hey, remember RHJunior, the virgin fundy furry homophobe?

Hello, Earth to Planet Fucktard, people who want to screw around in big gay sex orgies don’t generally get married in monogamous relationships!

Chakka, this is no longer a webcomic. This is a gathering ground for people from all walks of life. This is a place to discuss ideas and beliefs. This is a section of the internet dedicated for us to grow and evolve, as both individuals, and as a group. This has become as a holy ground to us, and as such, it is worthy of reverence and respect. Not to mention pirate vagina. Yar.
Also, unless you can speed-chant, one can’t really do the Lord’s Prayer and a Hail Mary in fifteen seconds. Furthermore, isn’t church and state supposed to be seperate? That alone is reason enough to exclude prayer from public schools, or at least to make it of second importance to schoolwork.

Leave Nate alone, it’s not like anybody ever renounced any belief in anything through a name calling session… you can’t convince geeky fans to change their mind on a frickin’ TV show, and you wanna challenge Christians on core life value beliefs??!!
Nigga please!!
It only plays in to “hating only hate” and the “pesecution” complexes of both liberal and religious alike.
I actually like Christians.
Like Armenians and Jews, they are the most “Korean” of various people I’ve met.
Polite, conventional, hard working, and pig headed.
Most Koreans you’ll meet state side are, or at least were, Christians. They tend to be either exemplary decent human beings or complete hypocritical assholes, personality traits existing independently of belief in Jesus as Divine Saviour.
I have never counted myself as one, but I have studied the Bible, as all educated people should, if only to be conversant in the monumental impact it has had in Western history.
Being interested in the many religious traditions of the world, I also think Christianity offers nothing more to a civilized Asian other then an overlay of foreign myths and superstitions of ancient Hebrews/Greeks. You can easily be a traditional value, conservative, fag-hating, women-put-downing, anti-abortion Confucian, as many are.
But I also think we should ban corn syrup, sugar laden “soft drinks,” fast food, advertising targeting children, and most if not all video games, and institute a rigorous mandatory fitness exam along with academics testing at every grade level, etc… oh yeah, de-privatize the airwaves and eliminate private media ownership (something along the lines of CBC or Euro public TV.). Eliminate high school as well, total waste of time, take only the geeky 10 percent to college, rest in vocational schools, apprentices in training, etc… Ban private vehicles, destroy the suburbs and re-forrest the fuck out of it, re-center the population back in to city in small close knit community hubs connected by various public transport… obviously reduce the oil imports by encouraging and subsidizing alt fuels, fusion, not fission, crude oil only for manufacturing and agricultural sector and then slowly phase them out into organic (i.e. sustainable, non soil destroying, non carcinigeous) faming… Oh yeah, stop the meat subsidies, let the “market” decide the price of beef (which, I’ve read, would be about 46 dollars a pound factoring in all the expense in land, water, and feed we taxpayers pay the industry to gorge ourselves in to heart attacks, colon cancer etc… you know most of the wheat grown goes in to animals as feed? We give food people can eat to grass eating cows. Ya’ll fat fucks know all that meat’s bad for you, anyway!) Ban dangerous cults like Scientology, emphasize the nicer sides of existing religions… the Gospels, not Dueterotomy, etc…

Will it be a Heaven on Earth? A new Eden?
No, people’ll find a way to fuck it up, it’ll end like anything else, it’ll just last longer then the present one (50~100 years before complete environmental degradation and/or nuclear/bio/chem wars :P ) and people’d be more fulfilled. Not happy. Contrary to popular myth, happiness is not a goal to be pursued, attained or bought, but a byproduct of a decent life, a livelihood that honors your community, family and yourself.
So I have some wacky ideas, as us all.

Hyung – Nice rant. (I have read a lot about the bible, and bits of it, and was brought up in a CoE (church of england) primary school. I agree people in “the west” should know about the bible.) Destroy the Suburbs is an intersting call. We are fast running out of any where to stick new houses in the south west of England, we can’t pack people in much denser in the cities (I’m temping in a housing association, belive me). The populaton growth may be low, but more single people want to own a house (not a flat), and house prices are getting ridiculous.
Nate – I never accused you of hating homosexuals. It must annoy you when people misinterpret you, so please try and lead by example. I really do enjoy your comments as the represent a point of veiw I never get to see here. In fact, a couple of good friends of mine are active Christians, but they’re not evangilcal, or argumentative (in a good way), so I never discus their faith with them. If you’re interested the closest description I’ve come across to my belifes is Strong Agnosticism.
Wasn’t one of the founding principle of USA freedom of religious expression? Regardless of faith. Having an enforsed Christian Prayer time, seems against the spirit of that. Ditto for the 10 Comandments on a public building, why not have islamic law writ large upon it? Church and state should be seperate, (Church and comunity tend to go well together).

Boo. What makes you think that I was making fun of Nate? For all you know, I think zombie worship is the coolest thing in the world. Afterall, much of /my/ core beliefs (well, the rites, that is) amount to ghost-worship, by my logic. I was just trying to find a skewed, common, shared way of laughing at everyone with each other. I mean, who doesn’t love zombies?
That said, I don’t think individual prayer should be barred from the classroom, but I think it’s a problem when it’s guided / organized by the school. Whatever happened to the die-hard congregationalism of early puritans? School-led prayers are not much different than bishop-led ones. Look, I’m not bashing Catholics or Anglicans either. I’m just saying.
On the other hand, those French pricks are being real assholes, trying to bar muslims from wearing headscarves. I men, what the hell? They’re just scarves! It’s not like they’re flashing gang logos. But unfortunately its being figured as though any religious symbols /are/ gang activities.

Sure, plenty of Christians are nice people. And I’m not trying to get Nate to renounce his beliefs. But I am saying that prayer time in public schools is just plain wrong.
I don’t care if a kid’s so into religion that he prays every hour and talks Bible all day. But no matter how short it may be, prayer time doesn’t belong in a public school.
You can call a chair an orange. But it’ll still have legs for support and a flat surface for your bum. We know why the moment of silence was implemented at your former school. We don’t need a government-funded school to promote a religious activity.
Religious freedom is not violated by depriving the students of prayer time. You have freedom to practice your religion of choice. It’s not a “do whatever you please wherever you please as long as it’s religious” pass.
Two clauses in the First Amendment guarantee freedom of religion. The establishment clause prohibits the government from passing legislation to establish an official religion or preferring one religion over another. It enforces the “separation of church and state. Some governmental activity related to religion has been declared constitutional by the Supreme Court. For example, providing bus transportation for parochial school students and the enforcement of “blue laws” is not prohibited. The free exercise clause prohibits the government, in most instances, from interfering with a persons practice of their religion.
Like I said, I’m not gonna stop you from praying in school. But prayer time is ridiculous.
I’m repeating myself… I must be tired. I should go to sleep soon.
Anyway, when your school faculty says they don’t want you to preach to the other kids, they’re just trying to cover their bums because a lot of parents will see red if they hear about some kid preaching to their kids. School isn’t a place for preaching anyway. I don’t see a problem with carrying a religious writing of your choice, though.
Again, be reasonable. Think things through. Just keep in mind not everyone around you is religious.

Oh, I definately know not everyone is religious. In fact, if the only social contact I ever get with people was through the internet, I would feel like I’m the only Christian in the world. o_0 heh heh…
Interesting thing about the name… It used to be called “A moment of silent prayer and reflection”, but a few parents threatened to sue the school board for implementing that, so they changed it to “A moment of silence”.
I still don’t see why public schools can’t have a prayer time in their morning. empraptor, I both see and understand where you’re coming from with your argument, but the moment of silence is so short, it just seems too insignificant for anyone to be upset over. Especially since the name was already changed to a more general term.
Additionally, this moment of silence wasn’t implemented for just Christians. Anyone can pray to any god they want to. No one tells you what to do during this time period. Hell, for a lot of kids in the school, it’s 15 seconds to sit in silence and doze off.
Perhaps it may be unconstitutional if you look at the principle of the idea. But just think about how little time 15 seconds is, and how important that time is to many people.

Prayer time is not unconstitutional in my opinion. Prayer time doesn’t establish as official nor give preference to a particular religion. But my point in quoting an explanation of the first amendment was that you are not entitled to privilages like prayer time. So the issue falls into the hands of the community/city/state/nation. And if your present school does not have prayer time, that’s too bad.
Take control of your own life. Plan your day and include prayer in it. Don’t wait until someone tells you it’s time to pray or until a group of people is ready to do it with you.
1. Unnecessary. You can pray at any reasonable time.
2. It’s organized religious exhibitionism.
3. Prayer time is going to cause conflicts, no matter what you call it.
Those are the three objections I have against it.

Me, I’m Catholic and I was educated in a Catholic school. But even then -or maybe precisely because of that- I don’t think that public schools should in any way touch religion except in History class. A kid’s education is not the sole province of schools -nor is it solely about the acquisition of knowledge: community and especially family must have a central place in it.
Recently all the responsability of educating has fallen to the school system and maybe giving this ‘moment of silence’ is just another step towards other sectors of society further relinquishing their responsability to educate the kid. Religion and morals should be taught by the community, the religious congregation, the priest and the family -not by giving kids 15 seconds to doze off. Guess the Mouse is against it because it’s one of them principle of the thing deals.
Although in the time-honored tradition of ludicrous exageration, 15 seconds can be a lot of time if you are, say, being raped in the back alley of a thirld world megalopolis or killing babies.

The French banned “”conspicuous” religious apparel” including Christian crosses.
-Crazy Dave
A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks – you think when Jesus comes back, he ever wants to see a fucking cross? Kind of like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on, you know? “Just thinking of John, Jackie, just thinking of John. Just thinking of John, baby.” May be why he hasn’t shown up yet. “Man, they’re still wearing crosses. Fuck it, I’m not goin, dad. No, they totally missed the point. When they start wearing fishes I might show up again, but…
-Bill Hicks.
Bill died way too young.
Oh, and going way back to liberals being just as intolerant as conservatives. The big difference is that while liberals may dislike what you’re doing, they are willing to discuss the issue with you. If a conservative doesn’t like what you’re doing they enact legislation to stop you from doing it.

“The French banned “”conspicuous” religious apparel” including Christian crosses.”
Dude, headscarves. How are they conspicuously religious? If Jacque Chirac were to wear a headscarf, would anyone say “hey, that’s a muslim religious apparel?” No, it’s only when a brown person wears one that it becomes a religious apparel. What’s at stake is not so much the headscarf as the ethnicity of the person wearing one. That’s what makes it dumb.

“The big difference is that while liberals may dislike what you’re doing, they are willing to discuss the issue with you. If a conservative doesn’t like what you’re doing they enact legislation to stop you from doing it”
– so there’s only one solution: as I’ve suggested before, liberals just have to reproduce faster! Only way to out-legislate them is to out-vote them, and the only way to out-vote them is to… well, you know.

Set ‘em up, break ‘em down,
And pass the cup around,
It’s the last that we will share for quite some time.
I’ve shaved my head- wear a dress,
I’ve left my bonnie wife,
I’ve got Krishna riding shotgun on the stagecoach of my life.
My sweet Lord Mahabharata,
Got my ticket to Nirvana,
It’s a commune just left of county Cork.
Share a pint with me Lord Shiva,
As we read the Bhagavad Gita,
I’ll have Krishna riding shotgun on the stagecoach of my life.
Well I used to be a cattle prod for Jesus,
And L. Ron Hubbard took me in some too.
I was a moonie, loved Charles Manson,
But they are not as handsome,
As the godhead whose skin is shining blue.
My sweet Lord Mahabharata,
Got my ticket to Nirvana,
It’s a commune just left of county Cork.
Share a pint with me Lord Shiva,
As we read the Bhagavad Gita,
I’ll have Krishna riding shotgun on the stagecoach of my life.
Hari Hari Ha Hooray!
I chant it every day,
With my virtue tucked proudly in my lap.
And I pray all night to Krishna,
‘Cos he’s a damn good listener,
And never ever ever answers back.
My sweet Lord Mahabharata,
Got my ticket to Nirvana,
It’s a commune just left of county Cork.
Share a pint with me Lord Shiva,
As we read the Bhagavad Gita,
I’ll have Krishna riding shotgun on the stagecoach of my life.
And when Irish eyes are trying to make the Pommies pay,
We’ll get Krishna and his shotgun to join the IRA,
The IRA- the IRA,
Hari Hari Ha Hooray!

ah, the wonders of this little box of joy. i cried three times: once for Hyung’s beautiful vision, another for DFG call him Ye Olde Windbag for it, and again for Morgue’s tribute to ancient Indian mythology.
seriously, right after hyung posted, everyone got back to respecting each other, and if a website owner can actually control his forum/comment box, 0w|\|zing the world is a very small step away. if he wasn’t constantly running to new cities and dropping off the face of the planet at seasonal intervals, he could be my dictator anyday ;P
well, at least my all-nighter study for finals doesn’t seem so grim anymore as i have the vision of a promise land of t.v.-less, rice-eating, “Giver”-style societies to keep me motivated.

Ooh, evil thought.
Living in west London we have a lot of non-christian asians. So the store where my fiance works on Sunday, wants her to work boxing day, as a lot of locals, don’t celebate christmas.
So, If you can’t have (christian inspired) prayer time, why should you get Christmas day as a public holiday?
Debate.
CrazyDave | Email | Homepage | 12.08.04 – 3:58 am | #
You shouldn’t. Because of separation of church and state, we shouldn’t technically have any days off. We get them as days off because there are so many Christians that would take the day off anyway, just like there are a number of Jewish people that would take off Yom Kippur or something similar. When you get a majority of the population enjoying a holiday, the rest of the population usually wants to enjoy it too, because all Americans are lazy, regardless of ethnicity or country of origin.
Kohrak | Email | Homepage | 12.08.04 – 4:38 am | #
“because all Americans are lazy, regardless of ethnicity or country of origin.”
Tru dat. Ha ha ha…
“Prayer time is not unconstitutional in my opinion. Prayer time doesn’t establish as official nor give preference to a particular religion. But my point in quoting an explanation of the first amendment was that you are not entitled to privilages like prayer time. So the issue falls into the hands of the community/city/state/nation. And if your present school does not have prayer time, that’s too bad.
Take control of your own life. Plan your day and include prayer in it. Don’t wait until someone tells you it’s time to pray or until a group of people is ready to do it with you.
1. Unnecessary. You can pray at any reasonable time.
2. It’s organized religious exhibitionism.
3. Prayer time is going to cause conflicts, no matter what you call it.
Those are the three objections I have against it.”
Actually my school does have prayer time. The only reason why I’m upset is because of the hostile reaction against it, and the effort of many people to get rid of it. Luckily for me, there is a strong religious (mainly Christian and Muslim) presence in the area, and their numbers out weigh the numbers of those against any religious exhibitionism in school.

To all of you who contributed to the comment box since I last posted here, thank you. This is so much better than the usual (if silly and amusing) drivel. I mean, y’all are human beings with a lot of thoughts and opinions, and it sure is so much more interesting to spend our time here between updates talking about something. After all, Hyung makes rather intelligent humour in his comics, so it is only appropriate that the die hard fanatic fan boys/girls display some faint trace of brain activity from time to time.
Hyung, I like your ideas about society. Living, eating and dying inside a small lonely box sucks. Et cetera. Thank you for this page, your art and your thoughts. The day I graduate from school and find a job I will start giving regular doantions, you deserve it.
Regarding prayer time in school, I’ll have to say it doesn’t matter how short the time spent is, it is the principle that matters. Would you allow muslims to roll out their mats and pray according to their religion on schhol time, Nate? Just interested.
And Chakka, of course your being gay will not impede the orgies at all. Diversity and freedom are the backbone of the Revolution! I have made plans for all preferences and tastes.
And Tabby, get your ass back in here, or make a commentbox comic! I still haven’t forgiven you for not letting me in the last one…

I don’t think the megaorgy has started yet. Martin would let us know when it’s time, I’m sure.

I can.
By putting underwear on her head she is disvowing her support for Darwins theories, and reverting back to Creationism, like all good reformed drug addicts.
By running around with said underwear on head, hes is flaunting her hatred for “evolution” ‘s foul effect upon the minds of the people.

So, lemme get this straight… the last comment from Tabby was something you would expect from Chris?

I think what he’s trying to say here, Ramen, is that he is expecting Chris and Tab’s wangs.

God damn it – the forum just died. Just as I was about to say something profound about long underwear, too… Curses!

As for the comments… I still expect Lord Morgue to keep screaming out Butt Sex as his comments.

Oh, COME ON! Hyung, you had a long weekend and everything. Christmas is coming up. We don’t want “Love it or Kill it” to be the theme for Xmas, do we?
Then comes New Years. Surely, between now and New Years you’ll have a day or two to put up something new? Please?
Thanks Hyung, you’re the best.

Hey Tabby, can you send me an EM of everyone’s pic. I think I got a story arc I want to do for the Comment Boxers.

Sigh… allright. I’ll make a cast pic, the same way Ramen did.
Might take me a day.

Quit whining art slave and DRAW!
Somebody get me some wet noodles to lash Tabbykins with, please.
DFG | Email | Homepage | 12.20.04 – 7:12 pm | #
i always figured it would be a double-position, as getting you out of the chief fan seat would take an event of apocolyptic proportions…
and as such, don’t you always carry an emergency set of wet noodles?
btw, tabby, did you need my pic to do it? i don’t think i ever sent you one…

You want something useful, Martin? Okay, here’s something useful.
A YEAR’S SUPPLY OF SHUT THE FUCK UP!

OOOOoooo!
I could use that! So many people to use it on, too!
Tabsters, I can’t wait to see the “cast pic,” and I better fuckin be in it! Same goes for *you* 4… Ya know you want somethin cat-like to be sex-fight-ref or somethin………

Booyah! Cast pic protocol, engaged! :]
Just be sure to draw me with the usual Lincolnian beard. I only shave for job interviews and God knows how few and far inbetween they are.

Aww, but Ramen’s representation was so cute…
Chakka | Email | Homepage | 12.21.04 – 1:03 pm | #
you think the real thing won’t be?!
*fist shake*
but, alas, i think you might have to use ramen’s rep… like any good slacker, i suggested something which i didn’t check if i could do… i don’t have a scanner, so i’ll try to hit up some friends to see if they have any pics on c.d. with me in ‘em…
4n0nym0u5 | Email | Homepage | 12.21.04 – 2:24 pm | #
But Morgue! That’s mighty cheap of you. The year’s almost over! Surely you can do better than that…
But also, I must clarify myself. English is such a confusing language. With “you” I did not mean second person singular, but second person plural. The statement was not directed solely at you. In swedish, my native language, this mistake is not that easy to make, as we have different forms for second person singular and plural. So, my mistake…
And to be honest, I think my disdain for the forum stems from a lack of feeling of control. I mean, in the comment box, I can amuse myself with light hearted drivel, silly links and cries for buttsex, and when I get tired of that I can scream for change of topics, and it usually works, or someone else actually brings something interesting up. In the forum, there are so many threads, going in all directions, many of them even more devoid of meaning than this box, others evidently being more internal to the core forum members. I, I just feel so.. left out! *sob, sob*

oh wow man
first ! heh
any way i happy your back here
any idea if you are reeeaally back
or this another one of your tease things
not sure why i even checked you been gone so long
there has got to be a better way to find out how loyal your fan base is dude
mirrors edge is sweet
i mean except for the combat
and the violent nausea from motion sickness
it is so visually pleasing it is a shame they make it so hard to play
here is to wishing you many happy returns
February 20th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Check the author field, I’m afraid it’s still only me. Though Hyung may post something new sometime possibly maybe soon perhaps.
And the combat isn’t so bad, once you stop trying to play parkour martial artist and just grab the first guy’s gun and mow down all his buddies Tony Montana style (“SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEEND!”) I actually passed the final stages on my first try, Rambo style.

Also, i like how magnificently eloquent i was with my posts. Makes me feel like i did well thus far in life.
