From another thread:
AURaptor:
That's what governments are for. To get in a man's way - Captain Mal Reynolds
You folks just remember what the good captain said, ok ?
Chrisisall:
Oh, but it hasn't been for getting in a man's way during the past administration, just the upcoming one, right?
I have no illusions; Malcolm Reynolds would have little use for me, he'd see me as dreamer- someone with unrealistic hopes for what government could do FOR it's peeps, but YOU...
He'd flat out view you as an Alliance toady, and you can't even see that. What do you think? If you could talk to Mal, you think he'd see you as some sort of independent? The way you spout off against freedom? The way you back up the neo-fascist curtailing of civil & international human rights? The way you rationalize every Republican-initiated military adventure?
Face it AU, you're a regular Hands Of Blue kinda guy. Until you wake up & smell what you shovel, the only person from the Firefly 'verse you could hold a lasting conversation with would be Jubal Early, and that would be mainly 'cause he likes to hear himself talk.
So please, don't quote Mal, that's like Castro quoting Kirk...
AURaptor:
And yet its funny, all your buddies on the Left seem to LOVE Castro. From Dan Rather, Jesse Jackson, Norman Mailer , Oliver Stone, Francis Ford Coppola, Stephen Speilberg.....Why is that ? Don't fret over it, i know you ain't got no answers anyways.
Naww...despite your ignorance, I'd be perfectly at home on ole Serenity.
Chrisisall:
Castro's a dictator, and as they go, not so bad of a guy, but a dictator nonetheless. I believe we should let the country be- get rid of sanctions.
Thing is, I think Castro's political beliefs, like yours, are flawed, which is why I make the comparison.

As long as no one else was on board.
Although, I could see Inara takin' pity on you, and talkin' to you a bit...Jayne might like that ya like to see bad guys killed...Simon would be cordial, as would Kaylee (though they'd be doin' the silent screwball sign to each other when ya weren't lookin'), River would think you were crazy, Mal & Wash would tolerate you as long as you was paying...
BOOK! Shepard Book would take the time to hear your woes! But as you started to repeat your rightwingnut self over & over, he'd be thinkin' how fuzzy the good book was on kneecaps, I'd wager.

Chris,
Be nice.
AU would be as welcome on Serenity as any of us.
So long as we hated the Alliance, and knew what it means to work for a living.

Yeah. Let Rapo start talking about how a government SHOULD be able to listen in on everyone as if they were all guilty... maybe even meddle with their brains a little...? and torture peeps (al la Niska) and Cap'n Mal might start looking longingly at the airlock...

Auraptor (he hasn't caught on to this thread yet):
Your lack of knowledge about Cuba and Castro is disturbing , yet not surprising. A great deal about Cuba has been white washed by the left wing media. But now's not the time for history lesson.
I'm sure most folks on Serenity would think me just fine. Kaylee would think I'm handsome, but clearly not in Simon's class. Jayne'd likely want to lift weights w/ me, Inara would appreciate the manners I show her, being raised proper and all Being more Mal like on the issue of religion, Book might steer clear on such issues, but I'd like to think we'd be on good terms otherwise. I'd be fascinated w/ Zoe and her life, her history, and her time in the military. Could learn a few tricks from her, if she'd oblige, that is. Cap might not see much in me, other than another useful set of hands, ready to do some heavy liftin', if need be. I'd likely be the focus of some of Wash's jokes, but I'd not get mad. We'd know it was just in good fun. You see, I'd be the only one on the ship who could talk dinosaurs w/ Wash, so we'd be cool.
Oh, and River ? She might very well kill me w/ her brain.
Other than that, I'd be right fine w/ the crew.

Only those aren't, nor have they ever been my positions. Not even remotely close.
And hell, Mal kicked Crow into the engine intake, so i doubt very much he'd have a problem w/ my points of view.
Chris, you're a devious one, to be sure.
It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager

You would have done it with glee, eh?
