Now I have the theme music in my head! Auuuuuuuuugh!

Doot de doo de doot de doo de doot de doo de doot de doo, doot doot doo...de doot de doot de doot, doot doot doo...de doot de doot de doot doo, doo...de doot de doot de doot, doo, deedy dee, deedy doo, de doo...

A right here defined as 'Shut up and agree or else!' ? Or 'once I make my point known, the discussion is over' ? Which, to my experience and understanding, he has not done even ONCE. Ralph has NEVER said that YOU don't have a right to hold different views. Nor have I ever seen or heard evidence to ...

Now it's in the pot! -:D

Several people had expressed confusion as to why ANYONE would have a beef against Christian churches. And I explained some of the reasons why, historically, not everyone in the world is thrilled with those who call themselves Christians. If you are considering intelligent discourse to be "bashing",...

Calbeck: I repeat, no Christian tradition I can find online makes this distinction for coloring books. Now you're devolving to the same argument used by anti-abortionists who say "the Constitution says nothing about abortion". The issue at hand is not about whether or not a child is allowed to COLO...

Well, yeah, you don't think you bootstrap a car company with econoboxes, do you? You give the rich their toys and next year drop the price by a few thousand and sell more to the almost rich. A decade later you've got your electric car econoboxes and a nice stock listing on the NYSE. Do you really w...

Perhaps, we should start by first asking some very basic questions: 1. Who are they? Primarily, the Sunni population of Iraq. 2. What do they want? Return of control of Iraq's government, economy, and military, all three of which they overwhelmingly dominated since Hussein came to power in 1979, de...

Personally, I do see it as an abuse. It wouldn't be if Ralph had not pushed politics into his comic. But since he makes it a badge of honor to do so, he must then be ready to accept political discussion in his forum, including discussion that he doesn't like. Considering how many times I've made th...

Wow, a 50/50 split... I'm surprised though. I'm betting the votes for are the people with the same views as Ralph, while the against are those with differing views or the willingness to hear others. Ralph has jumped in my face at least once, so don't jump to assumptions. I agree with him more than ...

To those who claim that there may be partisanship here, I would feel much more comfortable about such accusations if one could show cases of left-of-center webcomic creators who locked down threads becaue people posted comments that said creators disagreed with. Ahem. Although I think it's fairly i...

Hee..."Sly Cooper", eh? Nice. The whole thing came across as very believable...and hey, how was Bandit to know that "debris" meant a whole frickin' SCOOP almost the size of his own fighter? Prolly thought the other guy'd dumped trash, either to confuse drones with poor-man's-chaff or lighten his loa...

As for me, I've long referred to refilling my coffee (whatever...often a 64-oz bucket) as "refreshing the java applet"...

If you're using the DOS shell (which you access from the Start Menu via Accessories), then you STILL have the same basic problem because Win98 remains the controlling OS. What you have here is one of the more annoying Win95/98 issues: running a program in DOS which needs CD-ROM support. Creating a D...

And yes, in the predicated instance, we do know what the content is; though I can't find any reference to it anywhere else online (and if I've overlooked it, please direct me), the original flap is about banning a religious-themed coloring book from school. But since icons are a specific form of pi...

But I stand by my point: Coloring is not a religious tenet. The ban is on content, not practice. And you are missing the fact that the practice is coloring and the content is religious. Because it is the content and not the practice which is banned, the ban is specifically targeted at religious con...

If you're not restricted from the practice of your religion and its observances, it is not religious oppression. Being restricted from observing one's religion on grounds that a coloring book "does not count" is most certainly religious oppression, especially since it is the content of the book tha...

The bible, espically in the old testament, portrays god as one violent SOB when he wants to be. He does nice stuff too of course, Jesus was an awesome guy, but you can't have it both ways. Which is why I think a lot of the Old Testament is what the priests of the day ordered the Hebrews to do, as t...

We're naturally attracted to patriotism, straight talk, and fat bears? -:D

First, we have freedom of religion and speech in this country. Legally, yes. At least, until the religious right gets a few more people elected to office And then what? Identify, if you will, the attempts made by the Religious Right to undermine or otherwise inhibit the practice or presentation of ...

Item: As Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966, and Ron Karenga wasn't in jail until 1971, that's really poor phrasing. From the Dartmouth Review: "In 1965 Karenga founded the United Slaves Organization (US), a group that would rival the Black Panthers on the UCLA campus. The US was more radical tha...
