Hey! What's new (besides me)? - Page 2 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Yes, that definately is a toughie.. a planet of telepaths, that most likely will get stronger and stronger?.... better not piss them off!...
but.... they've been treated so poorly, and many without reason, and many have given so much of themselves, that they are owed better treatment... if they were treated better by "normals" in the first place, then maybe it never woulda come to this...

any race of people that do give the telepaths a planet, and then treat them well after that, will most likely NOT feel the wrath of the telepaths should a telepath war become full blown...

I like your tag line PonyPerson. It's so very true.

Asmiley · 20th February 2001, 05:55 PM

Why not? Living in the US makes me all for freedom. If there can be freedom of religion, and freedom of speech why can't the telepaths have the freedom to live thier own lives freely? ~~duely noted that not all countries are the same, and the above converse does point out some bad possibilities if there was a telepathic world; but if you think about it any species could decide to populate a planet and we would have the same arguments as to whether it's a good idea or not.~~

I understand. That's one of the reasons I wore Army green for 21+ years.

Really??? LOL! I know someone who is really into the army look too.

Rowan · 21st February 2001, 12:18 PM

Anyone I should know about?

Asmiley · 21st February 2001, 12:21 PM

You probably wouldn't know him he just joined the Army last year.

My cousin has been in the army for a while though, ever heard of Jeff Fraher?

Rowan · 21st February 2001, 12:34 PM

What's his rank? What does he do and where is he stationed? I'd have to start there.

Asmiley · 21st February 2001, 01:10 PM

Right now he's in Germany. Rank and station I'm not sure of cause I hardly ever see him. I could ask him the next time I see him.

Or maybe I can get my Mom to e-mail him and ask him what it is.

Rowan · 21st February 2001, 01:27 PM

If he just went in and is stationed overseas, the chances are very slim I've met him. But... I got friends still on active duty over there. I'll tell them to watch out for him and keep his 'little cherry trooper tush' outta troube foyou, if you'd like.

Asmiley · 21st February 2001, 01:31 PM

He's pretty good at keeping himself outta "trouble" but if you ever meet him You could say hi if you'd like.

Rowan · 21st February 2001, 01:43 PM

Will do.

The military is one giant family. I still run across people I went to basic training with in some of the damnest places.

Asmiley · 21st February 2001, 01:53 PM

He's really a great guy. And his daughter is sooo adorable! She'll be 2 years old this year..... I think.

Im all for the telepaths gettin their own planet but I can see why everyone on B5 got annoyed with them. They were just bein a buncha freeloaders. They wanted Sheridan to give them a place to stay but they refused to do anything to contribute. The monks wanted a place to stay and earned their keep. If the teeps wanted people to respect them and believe that they were different they should have acted different. Instead they went too far in the opposite direction.

I hope this makes sense to U folk coz Im not sure it does to me.
