We've had an influx of new members, many of which have sensibly stayed quiet while they get their bearings, some who came in full bore with the right bearings, and a couple that came out in a flat spin with no bearings at all.
Needless to say, I hate all 3 groups, just as I hate all the old timers, and in fact the vast majority of the population that has never posted at - or even heard of - this place. I don't hate you because you believe different things than I believe (such as magic potions made out of "water memory", or indeed economic nostrums, made out of pure unicorn shit). I don't hate you because you think poor language use makes you a special flower.
No, indeed, I do not even hate you because you post inane shit while drunk, think that 11/12ths of them deserved it, or even because you INSIST on shoving your wild & whacky "music" in our faces (Which is akin to having a 20 day old stuffed pizza jammed in your face while someone clubs you with a 9 iron. For God's sake, shut the fuck up and LEARN TO PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT.)
I do not hate you because you ruined Radio Free Discordia with "French Experimental Music" marathons. I do not hate you because you've found some horrible cause, some -ism that YOU JUST WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT. I do not hate you because you make up new meanings for words rather than admit you were mistaken about something.
No, the reason I hate you, the reason I beg God every night to send a 10 Km nickel asteroid our way, the REASON I wish we weren't fresh out of hand grenades is very simple...
...You're on my fucking planet. You should work on that. Force your politicians to reinvest in space travel. Or just force them to launch ze missiles. Whatever. Just GET. THE FUCK. OFF.
Just being on the same planet as you makes me want to take a bath in bleach. You make me feel fucking greasy every time I see you. You make me puke. You make no sense. You hoot and gibber and believe all the wrong things (even if they are factually correct, they're the wrong things to believe in). You have all the wrong values. You're primates.
So, I've thought about it, and you have til the end of the month to vacate the premises. I don't care where you go...You don't have to go to the moon, but you can't stay here. You'll get in your fucking rocket ships and take off, never, ever to return.
And then I will hate you some more, because you left me when I needed you the most.
I half-suspect my head will explode like in the movie Scanners when I hit post. I'm okay with that.
Or Kill Me.
Stop making fun of my wild and wacky music! :crankey:

You? Yes. You can even bring villager.
But no bringing any of your hoodlum friends over, with their bathtub gin and the rock and the roll.
Yeah, after all I went through to finish my basement, I ain't going anywhere. Besides, NASA and Russia have put so much fucking junk in orbit, seems like a rather dicey proposition.

This wasn't a request. Either you take the time and pack your shit, or it will just be dumped out front at a LaGrange point.
Okay, but fair warning, my wife is kind of particular about the house too. And I generally wouldn't recommend fucking with her. She plays dirty.
Im ok with that rog. It might be kinda cool to be the first interplanetary touring band.

I really like school so far, but listening to my fellow students SAY THINGS is maddening. Hell would be being stuck for all eternity in a sociology classroom.

Yes, that is the drawback, is there are people who say things that get right up on my nerves. All of them, including the last one.
I dealt with, and just let slide, a lot. Until one classmate said something so retarded it made my head hurt. So much that i can't remember what the comment was only that it had to do with the justice system and my brain suddenly broke and - started going no no no No No NO!!! Youre dead wrong!
Mind you this was in a writing class in response to someone twice my age at the time. Not a history and government class.
Also that brain break was verbal and went from quiet to loud. I made a pretty good rebuttal. Damned if i can remember it though.

I second that.
Not proposing to go with you either.
Please don't get me wrong - from what i gathered over the years you'll be better company than most folks - but it's just too risky starting a space odyssey with someone you don't really know at all.
Unless you plan to assemble a gang of weird space pirates so we can prey on the rest of the lot that leaves orbit. We could leave a few days early and catch them unawares.
Count me in on that.
We tried to leave, honestly we did. We got out through the atmosphere and there was an armada waiting for us, The first explorer, now known as Empress Laika and her space monkeys gave us a cold and clear warning that should humanity ever try to follow in their footsteps we would be obliterated, and that if we couldn't be trusted to take care of a single world with out turning it into a toxic sump we were hardly going to be allowed near anything else.

I fail to see how this is my problem.
Have you considered the possible consequences of removing certain individuals from Providence? There's the fact that Cthulu is kept asleep beneath the waves by the pure force of Richter's awesome... Send him offplanet, and it could end up all epic hentai down here.
Also, there's that the Nature likes making us miserable. If we aren't here, it WILL find you. (I blame this past year's Tuscon flood on that most of us became resigned to the weather, and it withdrew to piss on Tuscon while it considered strategy for this year.)

I'm okay with all of this. But Richter can go last, mostly because I want to see him to his drill sergeant bit on the other deportees.

I nearly shit bricks yesterday when some ditzy girl was talking about how Native Americans don't farm the land anymore and you don't see farms, just grocery stores on reservations because "they've learned to be lazy and dependent on stuff we give them".

Ain't that weird how that happens? You can almost hear the click. And then you're just... something else. A force, a machine, a god, a something. Sometimes you're just confronted with too much stupid and something else takes over, and then you come back, and you're not quite sure what just happened.

Hey I missed this post.
"Ethics" is definitely a class I am planning on avoiding at all costs. Most philosophy classes, in fact, are classes I am planning on avoiding.
