Well I think you're all being very mean to sci fi.
What's it done to you? Nothing. It sits on its own in the corner of the classroom, minding its own business, occasionally adjusting its glasses and being mildly jealous of the cool kids like psychological thrillers and whatnot. Every now and again it checks out the arse of some chick-lit romance and wishes it was handsome enough to pull her.

It doesn't deserve all this bullying.

Fantasy does, though. At least sci fi doesn't dress up and run around in fields with gay foam swords.

That real adult people genuinely do that shit is beyond my comprehension.

I'm inclined to agree with you Comrade.
Although I do find it a little odd.

I do to some extent
but I admire their ability to genuinely enjoy themselves and not care that people regard them as a joke. I think the world would be a better place if more people were like them.

y'see the 'harming no one' bit in my original post?
as long as the BNP can keep to that, then I give them leave to exist.

I'm not sure the BNP hold to that
Mainly because they have a terrible effect on my blood pressure.

this would be your problem

It's the eternal problem
I don't agree with what they say at all. I think it's repugnant. However, I will defend their right to say it.

Which is why I found internet ramblings from idiotic monarchists saying people who don't believe in the Jubilee should either shut up or leave the country to be very offensive indeed.
