    Yes, Fred Rogers was indeed awesome. But equally awesome? James Doohan. Pic related. He served in WW2 as an infantryman, until he was charged with hand-delivering a message to a general on the front line, and a jumpy sentry ON HIS OWN SIDE thought the Canadian man was a German spy, and shot him six times with a .30 cal machine gun. Four in the leg, one in the chest (deflected off of a piece of equipment) and one blowing off his middle finger. Discharged from the army because he couldn't officially operate a rifle properly, he joined the air force and flew spotter planes for the rest of the war, as well as testing early model jets and receiving a reprimand for pulling maneuvers in them that the designers said were impossible. After the war, he went back to school and became an engineer and a classically trained shakespearean actor. He did a number of radio-plays before landing a gig on The Outer Limits. His talent for impersonation caught the attention of his costar William Shatner, who reccomended him for a part in a low-budget sci-fi series that was just starting up. The writer, after hearing Doohan's scottish interpretation of the lines originally written for a welsh accent, rewrote the script and character to accommodate Doohan's talents and input, and Doohan became the Scotty of Star Trek legend. He was widely known as the only member of the original cast who didn't hold his fans in contempt, and truly enjoyed performing for them, doing impressions, telling stories, and even singing.

    A nearly unkillable soldier, a great humanitarian, a truly NICE guy to be around, and an intellectual to the core. James Doohan was a man that everyone should attempt to emulate. A true inspiration, and a fine example of Awesome.

    Mr. Rogers was pretty much the definition of neutral good. He wasn't trying to build up feelings of self-entitlement, he was trying to build up self-esteem. Though that's always a thin line, his intent was in the right place and it came down to factors outside of him on which side of that line any kid would fall.

    Most probably fell on the self-esteem side.

    Mister Rogers went onstage to accept the award — and there, in front of all the soap opera stars and talk show sinceratrons, in front of all the jutting man-tanned jaws and jutting saltwater bosoms, he made his small bow and said into the microphone, "All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are. Ten seconds of silence."
    And then he lifted his wrist, looked at the audience, looked at his watch, and said, 'I'll watch the time." There was, at first, a small whoop from the crowd, a giddy, strangled hiccup of laughter, as people realized that he wasn't kidding, that Mister Rogers was not some convenient eunuch, but rather a man, an authority figure who actually expected them to do what he asked. And so they did. One second, two seconds, seven seconds — and now the jaws clenched, and the bosoms heaved, and the mascara ran, and the tears fell upon the beglittered gathering like rain leaking down a crystal chandelier. And Mister Rogers finally looked up from his watch and said softly "May God be with you," to all his vanquished children.

    Mr. Rodgers would look on the battlefield, and go: "Why are you fighting?"


    He'd go to the Tau and say: "Not everyone can be like you. And that's okay, because no one else can be you."

    He'd go to the Tyranids and say: "Aren't you full? You'll hurt yourself if you keep eating like this."

    He'd go to the Orks and say: "Now, why don't we use ALL THAT ENERGY and do something good and constructive with it, like cleaning the house and showing people we appretiate them." And then the WAAAAAAGH! would be over. Because if anyone could reason with an Ork, it'd be Mister Rodgers.

    He'd even go up to the Imperium, and say: "It's okay to be afraid sometimes, but there is nothing to be afraid of that can't be made something else. You don't have to be afraid, so let's find out why."

    Good gentlemen, a thought occurs to me. Fred Rogers' life was dedicated to children. He spent every waking day improving the world for those to come, not by rallying for funding, or "protecting their morals," but by going out into the community and talking directly to them. When television came to the fore, he took it not as a way to profit, or to spread an agenda, but as a tool with which to improve the lives of those who watched it most: children. And he fought as hard as any man has ever fought to protect it, butting heads with even the president of the United States for the right to grant its benefits to those who needed them most.

    We live in a new age, men. A time that is sorely lacking in beacons like Fred Rogers. We live in a world where a new font of information has become pervasive, and pulls our youth by the millions to its teat. Tell me, /tg/... what can you do today to improve the world for those who will come after we leave? What will you do to use this impossibly powerful tool, this glorious web of information, to make a child's life better?

    You call yourselves masters of getting things done... so go. There is much work to do, and never ever enough time.

    Did he just tell children they were special, or... what more did he do?

    I've always been a bit cautious about the "special" word. It could lead to a lot of egoism, and disregard of others.

    For decades, he hosted a show intended for public children. He didn't have cartoons, slapstick, or insipid drama. He had stories, songs, and puppets. He touched the hearts of children everywhere, teaching them kindness and self-worth.

    He didn't coddle children at all. He taught them to treat others as special. He talked about anger and sadness, and he taught children to feel those things and still do what was right. He played pretend with us in a way that always was relevant to the real world. His neighborhood was a beacon of hope in a sea of darkness.

    A goldfish, on set, died. Now, most shows would take it out and replace it, kids are dumb, right?

    Mister Rodgers walked over, and said: "Oh look, one of our friends has passed on. I'm sad, but this is how life goes on."

    And he did an entire show about death. About how things die, people, animals, plants - and said: "But it's okay. Everyone dies, but we'll all have something after. And that's what makes life so interesting - that there's something after it. So don't be afraid of it. It's okay. It's okay to be sad and miss them, but it's okay."

    ...

    That man is pure 100% Good. He lived the philosophy of Christianity, as a minister should. But, more than that, he didn't ram it down our throats. No, he lived a good example of a human being - the religion became secondary, territary, to anything he taught. If he were a muslim, jew, aethiest, agnostic, buddist, taoist, or whatever, it'd be believable, because he lived a /good life/ as a /good man/.

    Any story about Mister Rodgers doing anything other than being a nice guy are lies - propoganda, and downright RAAAAAAGE worthy.

    Everyone is special, and worth love, respect, and care. You can get mad at them, but don't let that mad control you. You can love them, and be friends with them, because no matter who they are, they are just like you - special. THe world is better because they are in it, just like it's special because you are in it.

    YOU are not special; that is the path of snowflakeism. PEOPLE are special. They're all different. But they're all people, and therefore deserving of respect. To learn to tolerate the differences of others is the charge of humanity, and the mark of a civil society.

    Sounds like a real bro then, sad we didn't get something like that when we were children.

    I was just concerned over someone, that some parrents ocassionaly do, says that YOU are special, and nobody is quite as special as you.

    But if you teach them everyone is special, and to accept others for what they are... that's a good message.

    That's probably because Richard Dawkins himself is a rather chill person. He's just trying to show people that they can show acceptance, they can have morals and be good people without religion.

    That reminds me a little of my own protestant church here in Sweden. While I'm not a religious person, I think they did teach me a bit of acceptance and being better in life, when I did confirmation.

    Our priest was a woman(and pretty hot too if I don't remember wrong), and our youth-leader was a lesbian woman. Our other youth leaders, two guys in the early 20s, talked to us about sex and growing up a lot. Cool guys.

    Many a millennium will have passed before scientists will discover that Fred Roger's death released an immense amount of energy, that they could not tap for some reason. The energy pulses contained the following code, repeated over and over.

    "Every person is special and capable of good, there will be a time when the people will be in such dire straights that they will forget that. This is for the time that people need to learn again that nothing is more powerful than good."

    The meaning of this message will remain a mystery long after the collapse of civilization. However, this power will be rediscovered under a new name.

    I've tried to quit smoking for a solid year, after four years of hacking and coughing and spending what I can only guess is over seventy-thousand dollars total on cigarettes. I've tried patches, gums, and meditation. I've tried acupuncture and quitting with a friend. I've tried cold turkey and easing off.

    Failure, every time.

    But for the first time since my most recent and currently ongoing attempt, I feel absolutely inspired to quit and to quit for good. This is my second day without a cigarette, the point at which I usually fail due to the inescapable craving, and I don't even want one anymore.

    Mr. Rogers one time was invited to some big-wig's house for dinner. I can't remember if he was the mayor or a producer or what. But while Rogers has been in the limo he had been talking with the driver and when he got to the building he asked the man if the driver could join them because it was hot outside and they would be quite some time. The guy wasn't happy about it but agreed to let the driver join, too, and ended up having a good time. After the party was done Mr. Rogers was being driven home and the driver said his family would never believe what a great time he had just had, so Rogers asked if he'd like to hang out with his family for awhile. The driver brought him home and had a party and Rogers sang and played the piano and everyone had a great time.

    That just goes to show what an open and likable person he was, and if that wasn't enough once he made a friend that person was a friend for LIFE, and Mr. Rogers would periodically send them cards and such and remind them that he was thinking of them and grateful for the good times he shared with those he called his neighbors.

    We here at /tg/ are a bastion of that thing that Fred Rogers defended to his death: imagination. To invent, and to innovate, and to BELIEVE. Sure, we're a pack of assholes; none of us could hope to live up to the example which that man provided. But when one comes to us with the genuine desire to learn and to grow, we embrace him. We do what we can to enlighten him. And we take those things he deems broken and inadequate, and we give them wings. We do this not for profit, or for prestige, but for the love of it. And when the Creator asks us what we have done worth noting, we pray that we can point to these endeavors and 10,000 more like them, and be found not lacking.

    Except that he would want to be in the room with YOU. Unless you felt that uncomfortable around him, in which case, he would understand.

    I believe that if the whole world had seen at least one episode of his show then it would be a much more understanding place.

    The Spess mareens would reform and become a massive peace corps dressed in power armour with a sweater over it. Chaos would apologize to the Emperor and the Imperium. Ultramarines would tell all space marine chapters that each and every one of them is unique and special, and that Rogers is now their spiritual liege. Tyranids would learn to farm. Orks would lead massive WAAAAAAAGHS to help rebuild planets from all the war. The Inquisition would be abolished.

    I'm a huge dork so what I think is awesome most people think is lame.

    Case in point, on my holiday, I found a boardgame in a quaint little shop. It's a boardgame combined with a drinking game and comes with 2 little shot glasses like in my picture. It's cowboy themed and the idea is that you're 2 gunslingers. I just think that's awesome if only for the shotglasses that come with it, which I thought were plastic at first.

    Unlike their pundits they don'thave a disclaimer and somehow are even more biased than the ones with a bias disclaimer.

    It was an attack on the "Everyone is speshul" thing and they took it back to the least harmful of the people who used the message because they are bad at finding the cutoff point.

    Look at the point on that ear. Looks downright Elven. High charisma fits. As does his imperturbability.

    Fred Rogers was an Elf. He was the one fae creature willing to show us humans just how wrong we are.

    It's because people seem to confuse Nice with Weak.

    You know what Mister Rodgers would have done? He'd have smiled, and said: "I'm sorry you feel that way. I think maybe my message was misunderstood somewhere. Why do you think what I say is evil?"

    And then he'd roll his diplomacy+charisma, and BAM, he'd not roll under 75.

    Mr. Rogers had outlets for what little anger he ever had and taught others as such. All too often I find myself forgetting his lessons and for that I am ashamed.

    "What do you do with the mad that you feel
    When you feel so mad you could bite?
    When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong...
    And nothing you do seems very right?

    What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
    Do you pound some clay or some dough?
    Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
    Or see how fast you go?

    It's great to be able to stop
    When you've planned a thing that's wrong,
    And be able to do something else instead
    And think this song:

    I can stop when I want to
    Can stop when I wish.
    I can stop, stop, stop any time.
    And what a good feeling to feel like this
    And know that the feeling is really mine.
    Know that there's something deep inside
    That helps us become what we can.
    For a girl can be someday a woman
    And a boy can be someday a man."

    Y'know what hurts me the most? My son's generation, and the one after that, will get next to no exposure to Fred Rogers. If any. When today is the time that self-worth is at an all-time low. When today is the time that intolerance is the watchword. When today is truly the renaissance of valuing things over people, of self-centered temporary gain at the cost of permanent loss to those around you.

    We, at the very least, were exposed to the purest of motives. Those that come after us may not have that.

    Yes they will. But it won't be easy. See, you'll have to live that life. Show them it's okay to be a man. A man is not afraid of crying, but knows when to cry. He can get mad, but doesn't lose control. He lives a good life, and is kind to people. And he's meek and humble, but by no means is he weak - for when he stands and fights for what is right, nothing will stop it - not even the beuracracy of the government.

    Children's television had degenerated so sharply since the late 90's that it numbs my mind when I recall what was...

    Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Reading Rainbow, Sesame Street (70's-early 90's version) were PARAGONS of early learning and imagination.

    Square One, The Electric Company, ZOOM were equal parts entertainment and learning for the older kids and were GENUINELY entertaining shows.

    And then Sesame Street went all to fuck with kiddified shit like Elmo and so on, and we lost all those early shows and swapped them for BooBah and Teletubbies?! REALLY?!

    Mr. Rogers was a man, and nothing else. When you try and raise him to this superhuman figure who didn't feel hate or anger, you cheapen his legacy. As he himself said in that PBS speech, he tried to teach us that emotions are both expressable and mangeable. It's not that he couldn't feel these feelings - he just knew how to control them, how to set them aside and focus on helping his fellow man.

    Rogers was an ordinary man who took it upon himself to teach and protect children. He was not unique in his abilities, but in his devotion and dedication.

One of the artifacts we encountered was Mr. Rogers' Sweater. Anyone who failed a will save (DC 25) would be compelled to trust absolutely the person wearing it. This was fairly early, so most of us blew the save completely, and ended up doing dirty work for the guy who had it. Good times were had by all.

    The chaos gods try to corrupt Mr. Rogers, but discover that he is more powerful than the God Emperor himself, and end up becoming purified THEMSELVES.

    Mr. Rogers advises the God Emperor that by engaging the now out of work Guardsmen as Big Brothers and Big Sisters, he'll do the orphaned children of war a world of good.

    Battlebarges and all other military spacecraft (except for a small number, because sometimes you do have to defend yourself, even Mr. Rogers admitted that) are converted into rehabilitation/roaming community centers. Orphans are given a Guardsman that becomes something close to a parental figure. Many are adopted by those guardsmen, and live rich, fulfilling lives.

    GOOD END.

    So Fred Rogers can talk the Chaos Gods into being true gods of Hope, Love, Bravery, etc., correct?

    This combined with turning the Emperor around on policy....

    The Four Pillars of the Chaos Gods guided by the God Emperor leads to an age of peace, understanding, and acceptance of multiple races and cultures. The Tau realize they've got the Greater Good concept all twisted around. The Eldar realize they need to be more upfront with the younger races. The Orks decide to play some football instead of going to war. The Dark Eldar repent, and wander the galaxy offering their aid wherever they can, their bond with the purified Slaanesh growing ever stronger and into something healthy and beautiful. The Tyranids come to understand that their current life cycles are unsustainable, and they work to change their methods, their instincts, into something that can be nurtured and renewed.

    Other way around, bro. If anyone or anything could cure SoS and get him to make peace with himself and the world around him, it's Mister Rogers. I'd say there's a good chance that after watching some of his old shows, SoS cleans up and moves on with his life as a slightly more well adjusted member of society than he used to be. Nobody can resist the desire to better oneself that that man instills.

    I grew up in canada. We had Mr. Dressup. He was also awesome, and good friends with Mr Rogers. They both got their start here, something we can feel genuinely glad about.

    Gentlemen... as gamers, we are a neighborhood. So the next time you have a rules conflict, settle on a fair resolution. If you see some guy with minis that need some work, offer him some kind advice. Someone's going on about this badass moment his character had... indulge him a little. We should all do our best to remember to be nicer to our neighbors.
