I think it would be nice if we'd limit it to "one person per dragon, plus offspring if said offspring shares the genetic of the dragon and the person turned into one before they were turned into dragons". Partners get turned into the same age category as the SDN-poster (unless both happen to be here), children get turned into wyrmlings obviously.
That way every one of us can have a mate and pre-existing relationships don't get destroyed, but we can't turn whole populations into dragons.

It also adds in a distinctive soulmate-ideology, so it suits my romantic side :luv:


On that notion:
Is there any way for two female dragons to reproduce with each other via magic?

They voted for Islamists. Democracy is incompatible with shariah law. Ergo, they never wanted for democracy, they wanted a religious dictator instead of a secular one and conned the West into supporting them. Which makes them idiots, and yes, barbarians.

By the way, I never called them subhuman. Project much?

Fuck my life.

Prove it, fucknozzle. Start a poll you little shitstain. Have fun. No, strike that. You are such a towering Internet Tough Guy that you must have a two-foot long schlong. So go suck yourself.

If when I express an opinion about events in Egypt, I am shat on by people who find it funny to decry me as an imperialist, or who ignore me because they would rather talk about imperialism in general than Egypt in particular, then while I am not prevented from having an opinion, I am marginalized. Much as my opinions might be marginalized were I to express an opinion about the injustice of bombing some group of brown people, in a group of people who are too busy bitching about evil brown people to pay attention to what I am saying.

I would like to have a discussion about democracy in Egypt, and in general about democracy in countries where the average citizen's idea of freedom, rights of the individual, and so on do not match the ideas traditional in the democratic countries of the West.

For example, how well does democracy work when the average voter thinks his religion is oppressed by the fact that he can't freely go beat up members of a different religion? How well does democracy work if people vote into office a corrupt thug who sees no reason to hold another election? Will not these people soon find their government, this demon of oppression they voluntarily made, turning upon them and tearing them up, just as it turned on the minorities they despise?

And I think that's less than they, as human beings, deserve. People should not be tricked into supporting a government that will ruin them. Although the majority who voted for bad things are not entirely free of moral responsibility when those bad things happen. Just as if I vote for destroying the rights of brown people, I cannot complain if some of that destruction splashes on me and my own rights are in jeopardy. Such criticisms of my behavior would only be fair.

When it's coming from an individual whose entire public persona is one of exaggerated indignation with any political stance left of Attila the Hun? Fuck yes!

The relative value of the joke is in the eye of the beholder, but presenting it as something other than bad taste does not fit the context of what he was saying.
