I am sick of the way Wrong Planet has treated our Native American peoples over the years.

Until they learn to respect the first nations, I am going on a POST PROTEST STRIKE like Sitting Bull.

I post a strike, due to all of the age discrimination, that I face. There is no law that says, that I have to be 50 or older, to indulge myself in the music and the fashions of the Mid-60s. I'm 35, by the way. Does that surprise you? It would surprise me if it did.

You have Native American peoples in Australia?

Please explain. How has Wrong Planet treated or mis-treated any group of people?

I think it is a joke thread! :lol:

I'm going on protest strike until there are free doughnuts for everyone when the server is slow! :wink:
Besides, I live in France, they don't need any excuse to go on strike here. One out all out!
What do we want? Free doughnuts!
When do we want them? Now!
:P

I suspected that, and now I protest anything resulting in my making myself look silly among fellow pedants!

The joke threads in the WP Random discussion forums always drive me crazy, but this? This is the worst.

I am going on protest strike until people stop posting in this thread. This insanity must end! :evil: (This mad emoticon proves that I am serious even while all the other goons on here are being silly.)

It is better to think of everything as a joke and try to find some seriousness in it :)

Hah! Man, I protest against joke threads in an aspergers forum that aren't clearly labelled "This is a joke." Some of us have a hard time distinguishing jokes, y'know. :P

Better to treat everything as a joke and then try to find some humour in it. :wink:
