The Idiocy Of The Soap Box | Started by: PoisonousJelly on Feb 27, '12 22:08 |
(Note: This was originally intended for the Mafia Tradizione but since a few desperate buggers decided to personally pester Sal each day asking for another issue and forcing him to take a break just to get away from it all... I'll post it as it's own entity.)

PJ, I'm mad a box of feckin' Scouse frogs.
I have a soapbox, I'm not afraid to use it and I will continue to do so. |

30 odd replies to my latest offering, PJ.
If we totalled the number of responses to my line's speeches it would comfortable surpass anyone, I think. |

That may be true old friend but it does not excuse the fact that the majority are jokes and the like. |

The majority of jokes are because people jump on the bandwagon. We're talking about stimulating discussion and keeping the Streets alive. My methods for doing that vary, but they are effective most of the time.
Sometimes it's in vogue to rubbish me, sometimes not. |

So with that said and as much as I would like to go back and forth with you. How about actually replying with something that has meaning rather than with a simple and dismissive sentence? |

Speech titled 'The Idiocy Of The Soap Box' and Kuklinski appears. Oh the irony. |

I wasn't going to say anything originally as I am fairly busy, but seeing as everybody to reply has yet to bring something important and/or intellegent to the table, I figure I can think of something to say, it will be kept brief, however.
I have never looked at the soap box in this way, PJ. I guess I fall into the category of 'don't know how to address in a proper manner', however, so far my two speeches have not contained anything quite top secret, so I am safe.
What you say has merit, and has definately changed my perspective of the soap box. I join you in the banishing of the soap box, and together we can show these young mafiosi the correct way.
Z runs off to finish his business, but not before smashing a nearby podium over a sleeping bum's head.
Success! Dat soap box's swimmin wit da fishes.

To be fair to MrKuklinski, everyone’s speeches sound rubbish compared to Mr. Jelly’s. including this one! |

WhereWasI puts the Soap Box PoisonousJelly broke back together, and watches as a monkey comes over and puts it on his head. The monkey panics and fires its gun barely missing a crowd of people.
Why the hell did you ever give them guns? And now that I've seen how the little bastards react around the boxes it's obvious why you're destroying the soap boxes. Unfortunately this time I agree, not only do soap boxes look ridiculous, but the stupid monkeys climb inside of them and freak out! Do what's right people, break the boxes, who knows who's gonna get hit by one of those stray shots from that stupid monkey, especially in a crowded area where these boxes are usually found! |

Croccifixio walks closer to the little gathering in a shadey alleyway besides the busy street, checking that nobody not in the business is within hearing range before he speaks.
Not to sound like a kiss ass here but I have to agree with PoisonousJelly on this one. Just the thought of shouting our business in a public place in front of all those law abiding do gooders send shivers up my spine. Give me a secluded warehouse, a nice and safe cafe or our own headquarters anyday. |

Sam listening to the Jelly's speech. Understanding the old argument he could see both sides. |

Let's face facts - this world of ours has so many good points but one of those good points is not adherance to what some would term reality. And we wouldn't want it to.
PJ makes an excellent point and if I were minded to acknowledge others prowess on the Streets I would do so. But I'm not that way inclined so instead I craft overly verbose reportage in an obfuscatory manner.
Whilst PJ's point stands, his praxis is such that only a limited demographic will applaud his efforts. The rest, influenced by knaves or without conceptual understanding, will acquiesce or else be led. To them I have only this to say. |

Do you look down on us all with disdain Kuku or is it just a select few? |

Just a select few. Disdain is earned, just like respect.

I always figured it would make much more sense to have these conversations in bars when some people overhear and then participate in the conversation but that in itself would be rude and be suspicion as well so I can see both sides of the story. |

That's a good idea Alistair... I might try and develop that. |

I agree Alistair but I still do think it is better to do it that way rather than the ole soap box way. Looking back, I think it may have been more prudent to discuss this over on OOC avenue as I am finding it extremely difficult not to revert to such talk. |
