Well, there used to be this comet I got incredibly anxious about colliding into Earth when I first found out about it.

It's set to come in our path in 2036, though, so....

Everyone seems to want the next greatest thing. I for one, have supported the destruction of the earth since marvin Martian first proposed it in 1948.

I just learned that here and there in the United States you actually have conservative Christians who actually are offended if you wish them a nice day instead of a blessed day. No, seriously.

...

If I may ask, what is the reasoning behind their offense?

My NS stats are not indicative of my OOC views. NS stats are meant to be rather silly. My OOC political and ideological inspirations are as such:

monarchy system of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth | The corporatist/technocratic philosophy of Henri de Saint-Simon | The communitarian
ideological framework of the Singaporean People's Action Party | "New Deal"-style societal regimentation | Kantian/Mohist/Stoic philosophy

Well, there's a spectrum of offense that's present, ranging from tiny to significant and from 100% understandable to 100% batshit insane; not sure about the former detail for your case, but I can only figure that for the latter range of where that lies, it would rank at perhaps 80% to 90% insane.

We need to make sure there are more daily reminders to the world about how cute my butt is. The word needs to be spread, eyes need to be opened, compliments must be paid.

That's one way to interpret it, my dear. I just was surprised when reading today's installation of Something Positive, a webcomic I've been following for quite a few years now.
