Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Unless you're a billionaire or willing to shoot someone vigilante-style, there's nothing you can do that's going to impact anyone outside of your own neighborhood.
But if everyone brings positive effects their own neighborhood
...it'll probably be out done 1000x by the negative effects of an industrial plant or something....
but it will still make your part of the world a nicer place to be!
But if everyone goes hunting for just one billionaire…
What if I don't like my neighborhood because its full of backwards morons?
It's okay to make your own neighborhood a little bit better though.
That's kind of tautological, isn't it? "Unless you're willing to make the world better, there's nothing you can do that's going to make the world better"
I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion but I think the idea that shooting people is the main positive contribution to be made to the world is unimaginative and incorrect
Yeah, It's a fantasy in the same vein as punching your boss. It's not a solution to your problems, just an end to one or two, at best. At worst it just makes everything worse.
