User:Dark Observer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dark Observer is knowledgable, and respectful (when I need to be).

The Dark Observer seeks Encyclopedic Accuracy.

The Dark Observer seeks to add to all that is Wikipedia.

My inspiration for my user name came from playing too much StarCraft, and loving it still.

[edit] Terms

Here are my terms of response, please heed these when replying back to me.

  • Please, please do not borrow words or phrases that I just said into your own responces like, "Frankly, I" or "If I may be blunt". Especially if you say it right after I respond, I think that it is a little rude, arrogant and shows me that you don't have a particularly huge vocabulary.
  • My political affiliation is strictly liberal (NDP for Canada, Democratic for USA) and I beleive that human rights should be well established not by religion, ideology or bias, but through public discourse and equal forums of thought and foreknowledge. So if you preach to me about how wonderful it is to be an Jahovah's Witness, try to actively convert me and tell me to vote Conservative/Republican, I simply won't listen to you. It's not me who's being opinionated or biased it's you and only you.
  • Diversity, NOT assimilation ( the latter is too "Borgy" for me.)
  • Although a skeptic, I do beleive in the paranormal.
  • Although tolorant of differing opinions, if you get too opinionated with me on a issue and isolate me as a target, I will shut you down verbally (in the most non-violent manner, of course).
  • Above all, please just use your brain, and don't talk for the good of your health.

[edit] Things I've Done

Well, from the beginning I started with LEXX articles, just editing and adding stuff on. If I need to I will add a relevant article of interest. Sometimes I will move into the StarTrek phase and look at stuff from there but not usually.

[edit] Stephen Colbert

Just so that is known to the entire world...I hate hate hate hate, hate Stephen Colbert. I think that he is an absolute idiot, both personally and charactorally. His TV show isn't that funny. In fact, it gets tiring to hear his bizarre ranting monologues day after day. He keeps re-hashing the same old "See how I can comically super-polarize myself to the current political right, so that I can dis-honourably shill left-wing values" or "See how making my character seem so insightful and influential boost my ratings" non-sense consistantly, to the point where it loses all meaning. It's like saying a word so many times that it doesn't make any sense anymore. Frankly compared to the hilariously satyrical Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the Colbert Report is just stupid non-sense spouted every day by a lousy (and, "unfunny") comedian. The Daily Show is so entertaining because it doesn't try to trick the audience by confusingly showing a highly right-winged viewpoint, in order to honourably deliver left-wing arguments. Instead, the Daily Show blatantly states how idiotic those right-wing pundits can be, by using their own words against them on tape and amplifying on that. What I am trying to say is, that the Colbert Report fills the mindless, fad-driven vacuum that corrupts society as a whole. Rather than be appreciated for its insightfulness or at least its deadpan political humour, it is praised for its ability to persuade fans to crash Wikipedia! His show is not viable beyond 2008, simply because it is manufactured entirely around the George W. Bush presidency, and its blatant incompetencies over the years, and how Stephen Colbert will always believe in him. What if the next president of the USA is a Democrat? Will he have to garb daily about how stupid Democratic presidents are more than usual? Will he be forced into international "news" coverage, seeking refuge? The Daily Show will survive forever because it is universally viable: if anybody screws up you bet it will be there, and it will be very funny.
