So is it ok for me to kill you?

And I'm not mad at you or anything, I just find it curious that someone could believe all that :shock:

That's just mean. People can believe anything they want. Just where it's relevant.

Waiting for a mod to move it to This and That.

People can believe the earth is flat, doesnt' mean I won't try to convince them otherwise... sorry if I come across as harsh, I just hope you see my point :)

dont kill, its unethical. and someone said "who are they to criticize". I just want to point out that I put this on here for the criticism. I need it, it helps me with the edits. yes, its 9 pages with 7 font but thats the default for this. I have about 45 pages in 12 font by now and im still going. I will try to get it published. If you see or hear abotu a book called "war on humanity" then I succeeded. yes, al gore is the ultimate hipricate. I liekd his movie, but I saw the article in the papaer abotu his environmentally murderous house. If anyoen wants a copy of the whole thing then e-mail me at mailto:**Filtered**@hotmail.com and I will send you a copy. CRITICIZE ALL YOU WANT, IT HELPS ME EDIT THE BAD APRTS OUT.

That I do. Now, I need to go rearrange my furniture. It seems to be off balance and if I don't move it, the world will flip over :P

Oh dear, now I'm just being mocking. I seem to have HSD, hyper spam disorder :-D

I'll try to be more... on topic.

*breathes*

Okay, first. Go through and check the entire thing. Capitalization, spelling, grammer, lose any chat language. Any of those that are applicable and any more you might see. Nothing is harder or more frustrating to read than an unedited paper.

Then, after about a day of that (which is what I predict, knowing the size of it) send out paragraphs to friends and ask them to check it. Make sure you have stuff backing it up. Sure, some of it can be opinion, maybe even most of it. If all of it's opinion, I see no point in reading. The war in Iraq's illegal you say? Go find the UN resolutions on the legality of warfare (they're findable, I've visited the site before).

Basically, rants will get you nowhere. A professional, refined piece of writing will at least capture your audiences attention, even if they disagree with it (unless you are insulting in your views).

Now, you can take my advise or leave it. But, if you take it, I will try to read your writing. Just post in This and That next time.

IT WONT BE IN THE "THIS AND THAT" OR 'TEMPLE OF STARRY" FORUMS.


people dont need to read it to understand the tone of your rants. A suggestion? Put it in a myspace or something, and then post a link.

GIVE PEOPLE THE OPTION AND DONT DEMAND PEOPLE READ IT BEFORE THEY MOD/CAST THEIR OPINION!

i havent seen much of you here in the forums, and most of it has been political ramblings. this isnt the place, some ppl come here to escape reality.

sorry if i seem aggressive but i have had absolutely enough of the ppl who carry on about war.
I dont agree with war but the ppl complaining i have had enough of.

Those who oppose war but do nothing to stop it inadvertantly support it. It isn't about the tone of my rants, it's about the idea behind the topics. You can criticize my work, but please dont come here and tell me what I did and did not do. I havent demanded that people read it. If you want to escape the real world then there must be something wrong with it. I am not complaining, I am sharing my opinion and the beginning of my book (which will be changed a bit). don't come here and lie about what I have done and not done, and don't expect me to stop trying to aware people of whats going on in the world that you want to escape. If you actually read my writing then you would know that pacifism is doing nothing (you) and activism is trying to solve the problem (me and whoever shares my views). I would normally never say this to anybody, but you've made me angry (and I'm not often). leave and don't come back until you've learned to discuss rather than to kill a good topic with your anti-productive views.

Is never enaugh ppl complaining about war becase wars are still there so more ppl should complain. Now about this topic. U can't force ppl to read something because it is important to u. your way to give this oppinion to the SGW comunity is not usefull for your interests. Spamming all the active threads in the forum game wont help u and probably make u suspend for spamming the entire thing.

your right, I agree there. I did that because I wanted lots of feedback to make the writing more effective for the rest of the book, and to get rid of bad parts. Im sorry for posting on many threads, i was wrong to do so. The idea behind this was not to get people to read the topics important to me, but to get feedback from an audience for makign the future of this book better. By the way, I planned on gettin suspended ahead of time and wont be surprised if it happens. (is there a policy on really long posts or political topics?) I dont blame anyone but myself if I get in trouble for it. I only posted on about 12 topics, but that
is excessive.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO GAVE THEIR OPINION, CRITICISM, AND SUGGESTIONS ON THIS. IT WILL NOT GO UNHEARD, AS I AM USING THESE COMMENTS TO SHAPE THE FUTURE PRODUCT OF THIS WRITING PIECE AND TO EDIT WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN.

*looks at previous reply to my message*

:shock: SORRY! :oops:

please let me explain.

one of my friends in rl is very left wing politically, and i have had not much peace from him about the topic. i shouldnt associate this with others.

it may not be the tone, but everything in rl has made me blind so to speak.

when you say that im doing nothing about the issue, i just want to make the point that im not old enough to join the military, im not old enough to run for government position, and to me protesting isnt a good idea. (not that some ppl dont beleive otherwise.)

anyway, to get back on topic truly, i dont beleive the war is correct, but im thankful for the fact that in the past few years we have seen:
-the fall of saddam hussein
-the aparrent fall of the taliban

im an aussie, and i dont understand why ppl get angry here over the 'david hicks case'. he was caught as an enemy combatant (therefore he HAS no right to a 'fair trial' under the geneva convention), with an ak47 and a sack of grenades amongst his personal posessions. (almost no-one here (aus) knows that)

i personally beleive that what happened is necessary, but please dont confuse this for a lust for blood.

ok, feel free to post here then. By the way, joining the military isnt a good way to promote peace, assuming your statement about beign agaisnt war is true. We have apparently seen the fall of the taliban, but there has been no capture of bin laden. And the bin laden in the confession tapes looks different than photos of about the same time, plus he is wearing a gold ring which is against his religion (which im assuming he takes seriously if he allegedly went to war for it). Is it true that the one party had like 30% of the australian vote? (isnt their platform "keepign australia white?")

So, how about I give you a rifle, set you in a combat zone and tell you that you can only shoot at someone with a gun. There's three with a gun, 9 people in front of you. Thee are children throwing rocks at you, two are women who are giving the three men ammo, and one is an old man who is shielding one of the guys shooting at you. Now, you're being shot at and rocks thrown at you. There's something called fog of war. No, it's not just a gaming term for RTS's, it's actually a real live term. It's basically being scared so much you pissyourself.

While were at it, since you seem to know where Osama is, why don't we give you a map of Iraq and a flashlight. You can find him yourself. Since we're obviously wasting our time.

Oh and 3 countries with nukes? HAHAHAHAHA if only. There's 5 that are considered super powers. 3 more that have them, another 16 that are suspected. Get your facts right before you start trying to play talk show host.

Feeding world hunger. Well this is an excellent issue, seeing as how their isn't enough food in the world for everyone to eat one meal a day. There physically isn't enough food. So what are you going to do, give the hungry people money? Maybe they can eat dollar bills. :roll:

Maybe, next time you post you should think of your audience. There's military presence here. Infact, if you look a few threads lower, I'm sure you'll find CrimsonFrost's shipping out thread. No one here wants to hear about political bullcrap. This is a game, not a place to complain about stuff you don't know about. Take this to this and that, or the dump.

I come to SGW to get away from real life. This is a game mate. Not a podium for you to express your veiws on real life.


Someone move this to the temple of starry or this and that.
