Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The natural reactions of everyone to everything are bad. Greed is a primary motivating factor for all humans, period.
Thats why we created a system. You're not going to get to your idea of a good system by tearing the current one down, ever.
All of them? Some of them? How much humanity will be left if we get rid of everything that doesn't fit into the system?
I never implied I was intending to tear down the system. Well as long as it remains democratic anyways. A system that can't change has a shelf life one way or another.
All I implied is that the current system isn't good. Not that small changes couldn't make it better.
My message was about reforming the system and your response was
It's hard to see that as anything but advocacy of tearing down the system, which is something far too many people unironically believe.
You: "I smell great!"
Me: "I think you smell bad"
You: "You think an aspect of me is bad, this must mean you think everything about me is bad. You must hate me the most"
Me: "No.... you just need to take a shower."
You: "I can't see how telling me that I am smelly doesn't mean you hate me."
I don't what to tell you, it's not that hard to get.
Me: "The system needs a shower."
You: "This entire system is bad."
Me: "You're an idiot to think the system is unshowerable."
You: "I was the first person to suggest a shower!"
You're a fucking loon, mate.
Why don't you just take a day and re-read your reply and see if it still makes sense to you in the context of our conversation.
