The Whining and Bitching Thread

For me dreadlocks on any person are a clear warning sign that I should avoid that person like the plague and even promote feelings of violence towards that person.

 

[CiG]

REALLY? Hahaha, even the drummer of Dissection?

 

[JontRevolting]

I wouldn't even recognise him anyway and just see him as another dreadlocked idiot and become upset just looking at him.

You obviously haven't met Cody (Kafkax)

 

[JontRevolting]

No I haven't thankfully.

 

[The Butt]

I miss seeing Kafka post. He was a good guy.

 

[CiG]

He doesn't post anymore?

I don't hate dreadlocks, I've been a die hard Roots/Dub/Reggae fan for years, but do I cringe at white people with dreadlocks? Maybe. White Australians? Definitely.

 

[The Butt]

Haven't seen him post in a couple weeks at least.

See: Picard's speech for Data's right to choose.

"You see, he's met two of your three criteria for sentience, so what if he meets the third. Consciousness in even the smallest degree. What is he then? I don't know. Do you? (to Riker) Do you? (to Phillipa) Do you? Well, that's the question you have to answer. Your Honour, the courtroom is a crucible. In it we burn away irrelevancies until we are left with a pure product, the truth for all time. Now, sooner or later, this man or others like him will succeed in replicating Commander Data. And the decision you reach here today will determine how we will regard this creation of our genius. It will reveal the kind of a people we are, what he is destined to be. It will reach far beyond this courtroom and this one android. It could significantly redefine the boundaries of personal liberty and freedom, expanding them for some, savagely curtailing them for others. Are you prepared to condemn him and all who come after him to servitude and slavery? Your Honour, Starfleet was founded to seek out new life. Well, THERE! IT! SITS! Waiting. You wanted a chance to make law. Well, here it is. Make a good one."

One of the best speeches in television history imo.

Hot damn that is one of the best episodes in all of Star Trek. Another good one is at the end of Legacy:

"In all trust there is the possibility of betrayal...Without trust there's no friendship. No closeness. None of the emotional bonds that make us who we are."
"And yet you put yourself at risk."
{smiling} "Every single time."

There's some stuff before that, but I just love that conversation.

Yeah kafbro has gone missing. He's pretty much one of the coolest motherfuckers here. We live clear across the country from each other and he's still hooked me up a few times irl.

 

[unknown]

He's one of the nicest guys I've met

 

[Krow]

Pretty sure this place being the opposite of that is what drove him away.

 

[The Ozzman]

Pretty sure this place being the opposite of that is what drove him away.

Also the fact that the feature to ignore a poster doesn't work how he'd like. He mentioned that in one of the feedback threads regarding the forum change.

 

[Krow]

It's much better now. I wonder if he knows that.

 

[JontRevolting]

Funny I remember Kafkax being quite snarky himself and being one of the reasons I pulled the pin on this forum before. I guess people really aren't as they come across online, maybe that has something to do with ones expectations as to what they're looking for when they join. Myself I just want good recs and a laugh and don't expect to make friendships, although I guess that would be a bonus. So yeah don't take much of what I say outside of musical discussion too seriously.

 

[Krow]

I feel like you and I got into some idiotic argument about slam and war metal at some point before you left last time.

 

[JontRevolting]

That's right. Let's not go there ok Krow, jk I don't care enough about either to argue these days can I offer you a pic of my grandmother holding a signed Revenge LP as a peace offering.

 

[unknown]

at first I thought she was putting in eyedrops

 

[Krow]

I try not to be so combative any more anyway but thanks for the br00tal grandma though.

 

[JontRevolting]

I'm gonna try as well, I do enjoy this forum.
