at which point harry lime turned to the goblin and continued "...so who is the good guy here, those who perpetuate a terrifying war on terrorism or those who become the terrorists by it, well now, do you see those little black dots down there..." pointing to a unknown bunch of people below, continuing "...just how many of them would you kill to kill a terrorist amongst them then, I mean 98% collateral damage by unmanned drones goblin, that's how many, plus it produces more terrorists than it reduces doesn't it, and how many years has it been to date too, rather looks like their self perpetuation is of prime concern here, simply they want more terrorism or else they wouldn't go around creating terrorists so readily, 12 years on, how many countries later and how much safer are we, so goblin friend let me ask again who is the good guy here, just join up the dots to see what has been done, what's being done, and no doubt what will be done too, all in the name of anti terrorism now, where the media treats us like idiots hiding the obvious behind a waving flag a patriotism, but who is the good guy now..."

A repost from that same place where the form is more important than the message.

"Excellent post xxxxxxx!" The little mouse smiles broadly and is saddened at the same time. "Still the discussion about how one posts instead of the topic at hand. Why not just tolerate each other and allow for ones preference of writing in posts? Why the need to question how one posts? Wy try to correct a new found friend for speaking with a funny accent why not listen and try to hear past the strange twang and hear the message, answer the question posed and have a general fun time, or would one not be able to because one is stuck in the discussion of how one should speak/write." She hangs her head and sighs. "xxxxxx is right you know, fiction is third person too, filled with narration and dialogue and yet when in posts it is ridiculed and condemned. Why can't one just come and read, and if one doesn't like what one reads leave and not try to correct, or judge. Live and let live, each their own and those who want to join, join. Like xxxxxxx did, or not and leave if one doesn't like the form. None is forcing one to come and come back time and time again."

repost from elsewhere, the subject of writer's block

whereupon the goblin landed fresh form fending off yet another hoard of stomping mummies on his "last post" thread somewhere else, saying "...one of the most overlooked and simplest ways to overcome writer's block is to engage in rapport with someone else, so share your stuff a bit, converse a bit about the plot now, just bring it to life in your posts and it will live for you as you to yourself, plus try out different writing tricks and styles in posts, but remember if you don't enjoy what you do, then something is probably wrong and back will return your writer's block by it, so look to your posts now, because if you yourself aren't looking at your post, then your readers certainly are, where if you narrate, illustrate and genuinely become more imaginative, who knows what posts you may yet make with a mind that seems on fire for its ideas now..."

at which point the goblin showed up, pushed the kids aside and then asked "...are you sure you want to be a troll now, I mean a troll never has the initiative whereas becoming a livewriter is far more fun for the fact that you have the trolls trolling you rather than you trolling them, in short, years pass and the trolls have nothing to show for their trolling whereas if you kept on rehashing your posts across forumland, um tantamount to trolling in its way, those rehashed posts would get refined into something worth reading then...", and with that the goblin attached a youtube stream to show how something slightly bad can be refined into something really awful instead

Who here is a feminist? Does anyone still think that feminism is a force for good? I don't buy it. Women need to be mindful of what men find attractive, and being belligerent, loud, and not taking care of one's appearance is not attractive to men, and unfortunately a lot of feminists feel that they should be accepted as they are. Women also need to behave like women, rather than trying to be like men.

"...feminism should be up to the individual..." replied the goblin suspecting that the given norm was a trick to have one buy into something like a good christian woman or an american lady or other such agendas, when all along one had to set up one's own values or else one was just trying to be accepted by faking it, adding "...either way, if one's not perfectly happy with the way one is without a man, then one is not ready for a relationship, moreover, if one can't be oneself with one's partner then one's partner is holding one back from being who one really is...", in fact, the goblin didn't want his wife to be a barbie doll, marriage was ever a compromise, but he was old enough to understand that when she is happy is when the marriage is working out, anything less would be straining the relationship and detrimental in the long run

morning and the rain fell unabated once more, somehow the goblin, reading this thread from his bistro now, knew of that simple equation that zero times zero equals zero where somehow the anonymous flaming someone else anonymously results in yet more anonymity here, though perhaps the real lesson to learn has nothing to do with possible libel and everything to do with covering up one's tracks instead, saying "...me I use linux, my ip address is fluid, my material address behind the ip address is a standard linux clone and lastly I give away laptops to bistros letting the regulars use them at will, why, because there is no freedom of speech where one is held accountable, and besides too, what with the NDAA, the national defence authorization act, nothing stops them from torture, indefinite detention without redress to the due process of law, and arbitrary execution of anyone they deem merits it...", in fact, the goblin never flamed anyone but the times were clearly turning for the worse now where anything one writes can incriminate one, concluding "...your duty is not to be cowered into silence, but you should be careful what you write on forumland, today's laxness towards you might turn into tomorrow's incrimination of you, for anything you write is just out-there now..."

oh the usual stuff, the UFO had landed of course, and one of the aliens standing around had calmly asked the goblin why those female aliens always seemed to spend so much time in the restroom, and if it was ok to light up while waiting for them now, "...go ahead and smoke, so then do you visit earth often..." replied the goblin, not really liking the smoke but still admiring their spacecraft, "...why yes goblin, earth's just one of those great intergalactic tourist destinations isn't it, just human nature at its very best, that rat race on a sinking titanic of massive debt with runaway climate change, well that's what it is like when you see it from outer space like this, but then on the grand scale of things what would anyone expect from primitive creatures barely out of the stone age now, I mean what's a couple thousand of their earth years against those lightyears needed to travel anywhere in space today...", by now the females with the young ones had turned up, and somehow the goblin, seeing the evident disappointment on the parents faces, guessed the rest even without knowing what they were saying amongst themselves, hearing something like "...what, no way, look, we didn't come all this way just to go to mcdonalds, we've got plenty of them at home too...", yes, some things just seemed so universally universal these days

Ah yes dinosaurs... one of the most useless forms of pornography in the world is dinosaur pornography, but because of Rule 34...

Stop me if you have heard this one, a stegosaurus is in bed with a triceratops, the stegosaurus starts going down on her when he suddenly stops and withdraws his head.

A bit alarmed the triceratops asks, "what's wrong baby?"... the stegosaurus responds, "You... you have such a big ..." and makes a circle gesture in the air... the triceratops sheepishly explains, "Yeah, I... err... fucked a brachiosaurus"... to which the stegosaurus responds, "but I have seen brachiosaurus penises before, they are only (makes another circle in the air) this big, but you're (makes another circle in the air) this big"...

The triceratops even more sheepishly than before responds, "yeah but the bastard fingered me first"
