I'm pretty offended by all the "Take Turns Writing" I've seen on this board. Isn't this supposed to be about Firefly?

I need help writing this petition to stop these so called "Turn Takers."

I figure, each person could add to the petition until we get it right. I'll go first.

PETITION AGAINST TURN TAKERS:

1. You are hereby accused of wasting valuable time. Instead of watching and learning from television, and living in reality, you have chosen to dwell in a make-believe world.

So you want us to take turns signing this petition?

Well, before people can sign it, in needs to be written. Can anyone help write this thing and then we can get everyone to sign it.

My turn:

2. Any individuals who willingly take part in 'Take Turns Writing' type posts, prove themselves to be witless sheep just by participating in such an activity. Your presence on this Forum is an annoyance, and detracts from the high caliber of posts offered by others who can create without having to add on to someone else's posts.

That's somewhat unsettling.

I would like to defend. *ahem*

Take Turn writing may be pointless and silly, but some people enjoy it. And since Tash has made both the Take Turn writing things, I think we have a doublewriter on our hands. That's all right. Put us in Troll Country if you want, it's easy enogh to get to.

So, that's my view piont.

3. This communal act of self entertainment is a willful and direct attack on the sales of video games, Yu-Gi-Oh, books, and even long distance phone calls. By revelling in this unwholesome, anti-democratic behaviour, abusers threaten the very integrity of the captialism that keeps our Universe great.

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas,
I've got forty thousand french francs in my fridge.
I've got lost of lovely lire,
Now the Deutschemark's getting dearer,
And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money,
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash.
Some people say it's folly,
But I'd rather have the lolly,
With money you can ma-ake a splash.

There is nothing quite wonderful as money,
(money,money,money,money)
There is nothing like a newly minted pound,
(money,money,money,money)
Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker,
It's accountancy that makes the world go round.
(round,round,round)
You can keep your Marxist ways
For it's only just a phase.
For it's money money money makes the world go round.

4. Two out of every 19 crimes are related to Take Turns Writing. A person on the edge should not be subjected to a false reality.

The reality is that an estimated 300 readers this year will try to cut off their own heads and put it in a jar. Because it's cool. Because they read it in a STORY. This is PLAINLY WRONG.

I find it hi-larious that many of you haven't yet realized that Tash is pulling your leg with this thread. Funny stuff.

5. Take turns writing has been demonstrated to encourage insectophilia (cf. State vs. Cyril Connelly).

I know he's pulling our leg. Baa.

6. It encourages people to see if they have superpowers, which leads them to jump out windows with a cape on to fly.

7. It encourages people to look for the Blue Hands, which will get them killed.

8. It may encite people to riot about why thier son/daughter/husband/wife/important person being/getting killed.

How do we know we're not in a Matrix-y state, so thereby all ready in a false reality? Maybe the story isn't really there.

Aaawwww, I really wanted to put my head in a jar!

Baa...Baa...

10. 'Take Turns Writing' is the next insidious, evolutionary step after illegal file swapping and copyright infringement. Pursuing this 'hive mentality' will only lead to the loss of individuality and creative ownership... and the hope that stories will eventually, mercifully, finally, end.

11. 'Take Turns Writing' contributes to the corrosion of identity, one's grasp of self-defined reality, and everything that is good and pure in life. We must pursue this practice diligently with a stick and beat it.

Also, I think we should all wear hats.

14. TTW on FFF.net was Tash's idea, and therefore clearly anyone taking part in this activity will be furthering the cause of EVIL.
