"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

maybe you guys can tell me what my writing is even called...future fiction that leads to real past?? Is there a name for this?


speculative fiction?

also alternative historic fiction? (Harry Turtledove was really good at that)

it boils down to this: liberal and conservative are just political philosophies of the role of government

Modern Democrats and Republicans actually have no resemblance to liberals or conservatives. They have each placed the pre-eminence of their party over the success or failure of this nation

I firmly believe that either party would prefer to see this country totally collapse if they could just blame it on the other party

I for one would like to see em all, both parties, run out of town with torches and pitchforks

isn't it weird that the tea party are racists but many of their political leaders are black?

I dont get that

I don't really like it much

it depresss me. It awakens some fey feeling of mortality in me and makes me want to slug Guinness all night and feel sorry for myself. (that in itself is a Irish tradition haha)

but the sound of the pipers can choke me up and make me cry

I'm not bored at all. I'm reading a pretty good book (Baldacci) and stopped to take a break and let my myopic eyes refocus and thought I would pop in here to see whats up

mehhh this is all the biggest problem in our politics

no on can disagree with out demonizing the opposition. its poisoning the well to the point where there can be no discussion of anything without all this mud slinging at either

Bush wasn't a Hitler and Obama isn't a communist. They are just ordinary guys doing the best job they can

and the rest is ideological bombastic crap rhetoric propaganda and manipulation of the truth and semi false facts designed to sucker in the gullible and weak minded

as we well see in these very threads

kinda ponderous and hard to read

use more imagery. sound, color, smell etc.

in other words, show it don't tell it

use more white space. white space is as important as text in the flow of prose

I had high hopes for him but he didnt turn out to be a very good President.

But he wasn't as bad as some

he was no Nixon fer instance

nor as bad as Carter

or even Grant

and he wasn't the disaster to the country that Warren G Harding was

or Andrew Johnson

I havent even watched the video...lol




whether its fundamentalists or anti-christians

it's still people who think they know best how other people should live and trying to force them to live their lives according to their own beliefs.

not much difference between them that I can see


Who's "anti-christian"? All most of us atheist want is for the christians to stop THEIR crusade into OUR lives telling US how to live. Prayer in school, choice on reproduction, science (evolution), civil rights to marry who they love...THESE are only some of the things the christians are trying to use government to impose on the masses for THEIR ways. Some christians do not respect the Constitution.

Don't see the difference then maybe you're being blinded by "the light".

Check and mate...








pfffft

maybe if you made some other sort of thread than this continual obsessive rant against the christian faith I might have given that statement some credibility but you are as anti christian as dobson is fundamentalist

and no I don't see a difference between your rants and dobsons'

you both don't approve of how other people live their lives and would force them to live as you see fit

same same

I think the topic label is HILARIOUS,, I havent even watched the video...lol

It does seem like believers and non believers go through this tit for tat debate style to 'disprove' or 'discredit' or 'belittle' each other ,,,,I think this title is a perfect and hilarious example....
