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.

It's pretty simple. You don't care about a particular grain of rice unless it's special in some way (maybe something is drawn on it). Prices are always dependent on what people believe about the object. The "law" just defines the general parameters.
Also, there are many "exceptions" to the theory of gravity and apples do not always fall. Is an apple on a table falling? What about if you lift it? Oh my God, it's doing the opposite of falling! How is that possible?!?
The theory of gravity says that mass exerts gravitational force, whether that force is sufficient to cause motion depends on other forces being exerted on a given object. An apple sitting on a table is not an exception to the law of gravity, gravity is still happening, but the force of the table counter-balances it.
Yeah, that's my point.
