Whats your favourite variation of the rapture speech?
This isnt my faveourite its just one I made up:

"I am Jamienra, and I'm here to ask you a question:
Is a man not entitled to his his own life?
No, says the man inSchool. It belongs to your work.
No, say the Parents. It belongs to our rules.
No, says the man in society. It belongs to everyone.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible.
I chose... Gaming.
A hobby where a Teenager would not fear the outside world.
Where the Adult would not be bound by his social life.
Where the Minority would not be constrained by the many.
And with the sweat of your brow,
Gaming can become your hobby as well."

First person with the escapist speech gets a cookie :D

EDIT: For those who dont know what it is, here is the original:
"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor. No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God. No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone. I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture. A city where the artist would not fear the censor. Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well."

Ok then i'll do it
I am Jamienra, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No" Says the man at Ebay, "it belongs to the poor". "No" says the Man at religioustolerance.org, "it belongs to God". "No" says the man at Youtube, "it belongs to everyone". I rejected those answers. Instead; I chose something different. I chose the Impossible. I chose. The Escapist. With a forum where the opinionated would not fear the censor (within reason), where the Moderators would not be bound by petty morality, where the Gone Gonzo would not be constrained by the troll. And with the ache of your fingers (and perhaps a new keyboard), The Escapist can be yours as well...


Here me have a whole cookie pizza

But don't the people who have the most money win the bids?

Anyways...

I am Umberphoenix, and I'm here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to his dignity? No, says the friend, for he has none. No, says the co-worker, for he has none. No, says the wife, for he has none. I rejected those answer. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Ah, crap, who am I kidding, we have no dignity anymore.

I am RatRace123, and I'm here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to his own free time? No says the man in the charity, it belongs to the poor. No says the girlfriend, it belongs to me. No says the man in the office, it belongs to your boss. I rejected those answers, I chose something different, I chose the impossible, I chose... Lonenly Joblessness. A state of being where the artist would draw on a coloring book, where the scientist would use what's in his cupboard, where the lazy would not be constrained by the responsible. And with the realization of your laziness, Lonely Joblessness can become your state of being as well.

I am Sam-I-Am and I'm here to ask you a question:
Do you like green eggs and ham?
No says he, I do not like green eggs and ham.
No says the man, I would not like them here or there.
No says the unrelenting fellow, he would not like them anywhere.
No says my new friend, I do not like them in a house.
No says the man who does not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them with a mouse.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible.
I chose...to ask would you? Could you?
In a box? With a fox? In the rain? On a train? With a goat? On a boat?
Where then would you like your green eggs and ham?
Where will you try them, so that you can finally see?
And with a single taste,
Green eggs and ham can be yours as well...
