h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi and welcome to h2g2.

I'm Captain Kebab and I'm an ACE, or Assistant Community Editor, which means I've volunteered to help greet new researchers and try to make them feel at home here on h2g2.

I see you've dipped your feet in the 'What's wrong with h2g2 researchers?' thread. If you were looking for a whole pile of abuse you couldn't have started in a better place! There's lots of other conversations that are a bit less abusive - people are generally very friendly here which is why we can get away with being so rude to each other wthout falling out!

In fact you can find pretty much anything you want here - and if there's anything you think should be here that isn't then you can add it.

There's loads to do here, so I've put together a page with some h2g2 links that you might find useful - you can get there by clicking this link: A794991. If you'd like to know any more or just want to talk you can click on the 'reply' button you'll see at the bottom of the page and I'll get back to you, or click on my name at the top and you'll find yourself at my personal space. You can leave a message for me there by clicking on 'discuss this entry'.

I hope to see you around soon...

and hello to you too
no worries on the thread i discovered, i really found it quite interesting and it is nice to see that the researchers here are comfortable enough with each other that they do not get upset over a little harmless fun. not to say that my time here is going to be spent insulting everyone in alphabetical order but it was something fun to run into on my first day.
thanks for the information and links, very friendly of you. i think i might just wander around and try to get into the hang of this place. i'd hate to make too much of a fool out of myself to soon. save that for after i've been here a few days.

You can't have fun while looking dignified.

ok, i am confused. someone left a message for me but now it is removed for moderation? what could have been so bad that it needed moderated?
jd

Ha ha its not. Just I have to go through moderation before my text is shown. You won't actually be able to read this untill you can read the other one but hey I answered your confussion.

Adib

and again. i am really confused
i read the explanation but still would like to know who you are so that i could at least give a hello on your page and let you know i saw your posting.
jd

there you are much better. now why do you have to go through all of that in order to post something?
i will be signing off after this post, things i need to take care of before my day is over and such but i'll read your response tomorrow.
thank-you for the visit
jd

Well I am a member of this group that spreads the knowledge found in the Quran and have full permission to use what ever material the group has written, unfortunatly H2G2 do not like that so I am moderated right know so I have to make sure every thing is my own words. ooops I guess. I saw you was new and just thought I would say hi, it usually takes about 20 mins for my messages to be moderated. Sniff. My names Adib Qasim and I am a lunertic embracer of Islam who can not spell. I am a enigma on this site though as people realise that I am open to discussion on creation unike most people. That I put down to being Islamic and not Christian as they hold science as being untrue. No offence if your a christian as hey christians worship one god which is a cool thing. Anyway enough about creation and religion I do not wish to bore you. This site has some mean people but most of the people on this site are great people once you get to know each other.
Hope you get all the stuff you need doing done.
So what are you interested in as maybe I know some sites on here you would like.
Take care
Adib or as my friend Nimra calls me 'Moron'.
I call her 'sweet little moron' as she is cute and funny and great and miles away back in Pakistan right now. Laugh I drive people so mad they go and fly thousands of miles just to get away from me, joke.

don't worry about talking to me on any subject. the way i see it is that the day we quite learning is the day we begin to die. i always enjoy hearing other peoples views and can't recall taking offence if they had a different view than mine. we are all individuals so it makes sense we all don't agree on everything.
how long are you supposed to be in this moderation thing? i am glad to see that they get the posts unhidden quickly so that i can see what has been posted on my page by you .
when it comes to my interests it is hard to narrow them down. i enjoy a number of different things and so far, on this site, i have enjoyed everything i've seen. some of the places i've been are just for fun and others are for learning. this means that no matter what my mood at the moment there is always something for me to see.
jd

Thats cool I seem to have the trouble of stumbling on to pages with people who talk about all based on the actions of a little. Do not worry if that make's no sense.
I have fun oh here though.
Adib

i have kids so i am used to understanding things that don't make sense
jd

You think thats bad. I voluntry look after my mates kids while they are are at work laugh.
Oh well any way I find that most sites on creation are based only from the one religous view point and then they say all religion is wrong.
So do you know anything about evolution and things like that. Any thing you want to chat about?
Adib

Oh hey tell us about your kids. Are they well behaved?
I know whats its like to deal with boys so have you got girl's?
If so are they worse or better than boys? Joke.
Take care

Allah hafiz

Adib

ok, here we go again. this is crazy, the others only took a few minutes but this one has taken an hour and now there is another one. very frustrating for me. i can only imagine how frustrating it is for you
jd

evolution: to an extent i believe in it but as a whole then no i don't. i don't think that all of this started as a fluke but at the same time i do believe that with a little bit of fine tuning we adapted to our environment. does that make sense?

religion: so many people get all worked up on theirs being the only true correct one. sorry to upset them but in my eyes until i am dead i will not know for sure. all i can do is do what i think i correct, not fuss at others for not being the same as me and find out when i die. i do not think that there is only one right religion and everyone else is left to die alone without their 'after death experience'. i cannot believe that a superior being would play such a cruel joke as to say 'ok, you are here for this many years and if you don't find the right coin under the right shell your soul is lost forever'. that just is not something that makes sense to me.

kids: i have boys and girls. it depends on the scenario when saying if boys or girls are worse. they both have their own special moments in the lead
jd

Yeah I suppose they do.

Adib

how long are you going to be in this premoderation thing? it is nerve wracking.
jd

I have no idea. Boo hoo sniff sniff.
Its not that bad it just means if they think it comes from any other source besides my self then then it will not be added.
Adib

i hope they give you a chance to post without being hidden first soon. it would be nice.
jd

tell me about it. I replied straight away as I jusy came back to the home page. But you can't read it till later.
Its annoying sometimes.
