tomarrow is not one damn dime day

[superjaz]

i read on the stephen king weg site that tomarrow is not one damn dime day where you don't spend and money (not one damn dime) for a few resons
to boycott the bush inogration thing thats going on the same day cuz there spendin milloins(40?) on a party, while there are tsunami victims dying, and troops fighting, and bush spending, basicly to protest the way things are going, and show suport

I'm for that! I wonder how many other people are going to do that though...?

Ok, so let's post notes here about upcoming anti-abortion rallies, tax protests, discuss the pros vs. cons of privatization of Social Security, and complain that Boxer, Kennedy, and Schumer have terrible voting records on gun rights. Let's also remember Chappaquiddick while we're on Kennedy. You remember: "Teddy, I'm pregnant but we can cross that bridge when we get to it..."

Take it back to the DU Lounge. This forum is about Kumoricon and anime.

NOW, OTOH, if GONZO were to do a CG parody or arr Prezzident, THAT would be a cool topic and I'd -love- to see a well done and well deserved anime-powered 'roast.'

Does everything on this forum HAVE to be about Kumoricon and Anime? I thought that you could post whatever topic was interesting. And if it caught attention to you enough to comment about it in such a way,,why bother reading it? If you're obsessed with this forum only being about anime and the con, maybe you should only read the posts about that. But please don't flame those who post other topics because you don't think it's right. Yes this forum is for the con, and anime and such, but people are allowed to have OTHER interests other than that..

Sorry, but people complaining when other people speak freely kinda bugs me.

Well, technically stuf in the "General Discussion" section can be about anything. Just keep in mind who your fellow forum readers are and why they come here.

As long as things don't get out of hand (like 10 political threads a week or something) I don't think there will be problem with the occasional "off topic" post.

I have to say is be careful when speaking of political topics.  I would prefer people refrain from discussing politics as anime attracts people of both sides of all sides.  But if you(or anyone else) do make a political comment, please remember that anime fans doesn't consist of all of the same political group.  I don't mind people going off topic on occasion but politics is one topic that can create some nasty fights and divisions.

I'm sorry if I seemed harsh. I was slightly, okay more than slightly, bothered by the flaming. I agree with Tom in saying that the occassional off-topic post is okay, and I also agree that having too much on politics can be a bad thing. Since there are so many of us with alot of views.

I have to admit I think I was being fairly hypocrictical, ne? I was flaming, about someone else flaming? lol :shrug:

Anyways, just wanted to say that I'm sorry for overreacting. I do that sometimes.

Bad yukimizu! Just kidding, people get all worked up about all kinds of things. Internet forum board are an easy place to forget how you would talk to a person standing right in front of you. As long as you try to be nice to people in-person or online, getting a lil mad once in a while is okay.
