   Interesting! It would appear that those ridiculing the conspiracy theory the loudest are the perpetrators. Maybe the Kennedy assassination… nope, I’d best not go there.

   Jeffrey a megalomaniac intent on controlling the world?
   Most geeks have trouble controlling their own private universe.

   Love where this is going.

   The use of [the bleeep-word] [1] in the Nov 17 and 15 strips is extremely offensive to anyone with developmental disabilities…” - wessexwarropr

   Once again, we see Political Correctness defined by example in its most succinct form: Personal Offense By Proxy. Being offended on another’s behalf. Arrogating to oneself the authority to say what ”is” (direct quote) “extremely offensive to anyone” (emphasis mine).

   The logic of this arrogance, of course, is that anyone with developmental disabilities is incapable of forming the thought processes necessary to decide for themselves whether or not they are offended by – well, by anything. They therefore need a guardian to decide for them, the poor disadvantaged creatures. They must be made to be victims and it must be made clear to them that they are to be taken care of in all regards, and they must never think that they can think for themselves. Rather, they must never think, period.

   Of course, they ultimately benefit from this. More importantly, so do The Guardians, who have found A Purpose In Life – that of Being Right About Everything.

   [1] Whatever the bleeep-word is, the software wouldn’t tell us. It’s being our Guardian, you see. Being a computer, it considers us developmentally disabled, and doesn’t want us to think, so it will take care of what is offensive and what isn’t.

   Now don’t you feel all safe and taken care of, little children?

   Nonsequitous - I think you mean Nov. 17 and 19, not the 15 and 17.

   I have developmental disabilities, and there are plenty of us who find that the word “retard” is not offensive. Disabled is more offensive because it implies an inability to do something. A definition of “retard” states that a person has something that slows them down, or that the person has a delay.

   Implying that everyone with learning handicaps is offended by those cartoons is terribly incorrect. You can speak for yourself all you want, but don’t make a blanket statement.

   I do not believe that Wiley’s intent is to offend anyone. He’s writing Danae’s script as a child her age would probably say things if the child were in her position.

   My brother was severely retarded. In the 50s there was no other word for it. “Retard”–“slow”, yes it fit

   My mother lost one arm to Polio, yet went on to earn her PHD and can hang wallpaper. Don’t you dare trying to give her a “handicapped” parking sticker

   Before another debate occurs…nonsequitous was just quoting what someone had written the night before.

   ANYWAY! - Nice to see Jeffrey again, (albeit the megalomaniac personality) ! Danae’s going to want a piece of the world domination action now…if you can’t beat them, join them!

   Jeffery is just putting Danae on.

    They’re a match made in heaven!!!! Wish there had been a close-up of Jeffrey’s face when he got caught!

    It was prophesized in the Bible: “The geeks shall inherit the earth.”

    I think green-engineer is almost right. In Danae’s case it’s- if you can’t beat them, Rule them! She will want to be their Queen.

    Great move, Jeffrey will, yet, rule the world, good boy!

    Why am I not surprised that Jeffrey would be behind this?

    Really fun stuff…comics AND comments.

    AGURKA, that passage from the book of Matthew should be revised to say:

    “The meek shall inherit the earth,
    for they are too week to refuse it”

    Maybe Jeffy’s right for danae, after all….Why is everyone half burried upside down? Isn’t it hard to breath that way?

    Danae and Jeffrey do appear to have the same goals in life, after all.

    nonsequitous, I find your comment to be right on. (wanted to say, profound, but too much sucking up makes most of us cringe) Of course, in some circles you are diminshed simply by my kudos.

    The really scary part is it’s pretty much true, I think it’s time to do a shutdown and take Lucy for a ride.

    Fabulous storyline Wiley! Can’t wait for tomorrow. Who are the “others”?

    Wiley, I am going to need a bigger desk to hold all my calendars. Now that yours is out I must own it, also Rubes and Maxine. Oh what a dither!

    Converses, nonsequitous was making reply to another posted comment by a person who by proxy took offense to the word “retard”, and not stating his own position. His point is very well taken, and your comment backs up his premise.

    Perfect strip Wiley.
    Don’t smell any politics around here today! :)

    nonsetitous is just boring

    If everyone told me I was funny, I’d know I really was boring, so I’d pretty much be forced to shoot my computer, then myself.

    nonsequitous - no sequitionist he

    ”nonsequitous, I find your comment to be right on. (wanted to say, profound, but too much sucking up makes most of us cringe)”

    ‘Right on’ is better. Nobody likes excessive polysyllabification, o astute admirer of my miserable attempts at drollery.

    Well, Wiley is ez enough to find on Facebook, so @least we know he does his work based on personal experience….

    I don’t think this is a true story - I didn’t stand on MY head when Danae pressed “enter”. Did YOU guys?
