Here's a the story of some guy who almost got his paper RPG book confiscated by a security guard. Since the Republican convention is in New York City, security has been heightened, which means bag searches. And one guard deemed the book "inappropriate." Check out the details here...

EDIT: I just realized this is about a non video game topic, so please move it to the OT if need be it. Thanks.

yes, because the guy WAS a republican and and told the poster "sir, I am a republican and I hate RPGs"
yes, because he represents republicans and not a stuck up old bastard
yes, because the poster in that link remembered how the dialog exchange went perfectly and didn't slant it to make him seem bigger after the fact
yes, because all republicans really do hate RPGs
yes, because ...what was I saying again?

Well obviously I for one know that not all republicans think this way. But anyone who lives in NYC knows that the upcoming convention is giving conservatives a free ticket to do such stupid things.

Well, there was the whole "Dungeons and dragons is satanism" debacle.

which brings us to my earlier post (the first two lines in particular)

has it been proven that all uptight pricks are rupublicans that deem fantasy and the showing of flesh unacceptable? is it, now, impossible for a democrat to find such themes 'inappropiate'?

Looks like someone needs to spend some time in the FREE SPEECH ZONE!

to my knowledge, that was a religous 'thing' and not a politically charged one.

I think it's so hilarious how certain members on this forum treat Republicans like they're some mysterious race of incoherant primatives who are unable to understand or notice when liberals try to make observations of their behaviour.

Someone should search that guard for Chick Tracts.

I'd prefer it if 'liberals' and 'conservatives' all died and normal people ruled the earth...or at the very least people stopped being pathetic by labeling others in those terms

Same here, in fact I promote RPGs to people who don't regularly play them (video-game based).

Gattsu25 is a source of intellect in this thread, heed his words for he is a saint. Completely agree with you btw.
