Proton, Electron, Neutron-Which Side and Why?

[Karoht]

What is says on the tin folks. Out of those three types of particle, pick a favorite and state why. Just those three please.

I like electrons. They go where they like, they power the devices used to make this message, and not afraid of anyone.

Bonus points for meme usage, so long as it obeys forum rules, of course.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Neutron. Because the pizza is aggressive.

[Jimorian]

Newboys in the hood for the win!

(Anybody who get that ref wins life)

[Karoht]

Oh wow, both of those were rather obscure and difficult to find.
Heck, I'm not entirely sure what I found WAS the Newboys reference. My google-fu needs some work.

Neutrons are ahead by 2 thus far (my vote doesn't count). No proton love? What gives?

Chemistry Cat, we need you!

[Manga Shoggoth]

I know that at first sight it is not the most attractive choice, but the neutron is both an electron and proton in one convinent package and no extra charge.

[Grozomah]

Neutrons. Because nothing says love like 83.14 TJ/kg & they don't care 'bout Φs and As.

Electrons aren't afraid of anything? Yeah right, except for their brotha's. They also group hump every proton in sight.

[Asta Kask]

Electron. All of chemistry is electrons in motion.

[noparlpf]

Orgo was hard, so I don't like electrons.

[Lentrax]

And now for another harrowing adventure of... Captain Proton!

... And that's about all I have.

[SaintRidley]

Positrons. Because I'm an optimist like that and always find a way to turn the negative into a positive.

[Lentrax]

Positrons. Because I'm an optimist like that and always find a way to turn the negative into a positive.

And I think that answers the question. Goodbye folks! Been nice, see you around. SaintRidley wins.

[Karoht]

Positrons. Because I'm an optimist like that and always find a way to turn the negative into a positive.

Not really one of the three options, but it's clever all the same.
Neutron 4
Electron 2
Proton 1
Positron 1

Neutron is still in the lead. And Gold. And Silver. And most other things.

[Proud Tortoise]

Come on now, those protons are the only thing holding the electrons in place!

No, that wasn't a vote for proton. I like electrons.

[Mauve Shirt]

I'm pro-proton.

[Karoht]

Neutron 4
Proton 3
Electron 2
Positron 1

More science! More... side... picking! Decide upon that which you stand!

[rs2excelsior]

So I'm going to give the noble proton another vote.

They aren't wish-washy like those neutrons that can't even pick a charge, but they don't run about chaotically like electrons do.

Besides, the protons decide what element they're going to be. Neutrons and electrons just go along with it.

[Lateral]

Smuons.

...What?
You guys are boring.

[Larkas]

I know that at first sight it is not the most attractive choice, but the neutron is both an electron and proton in one convinent package and no extra charge.

THANK YOU, I just spilled my soda because of that.

[Manga Shoggoth]

THANK YOU, I just spilled my soda because of that.

I so rarely get to use my degree these days. Using it to make bad puns is an added bonus.

Positrons. Because I'm an optimist like that and always find a way to turn the negative into a positive.

It is one way of annihilating your opposition, I suppose.

[mistformsquirrl]

Proton, because torpedoes <>_<>

[Kato]

Easy, neutron all the way. At Their not afraid to join with their peers, you don't have to pick a side, they even care for those stupid protons to stick together which would otherwise not get along. (Thinking about this made me consider the problem of pure-neutron matter and I realized I really need to catch up on my particle physics...)
Anyway, neutrons all the way. No contest.

[Shadow of the Sun]

For me it's muons. Short lived, and capable of causing nuclear fusion.

[Tylorious]

i vote electron as they help me feel things. feeling is definitely important in life and thus electrons are the best.

[noparlpf]

Technically, the electrochemical impulses in the human nervous system rely on calcium, potassium, sodium, and chloride ions. Most of those are missing some electrons.

[Evandar]

Proton, because torpedoes <>_<>

This summarizes my feelings on the issue.

[noparlpf]

Proton, because torpedoes <>_<>

Anti-particles, because warp drive?

[Socratov]

I'm not always quirky, but when I am, quarks are my favorite.

[Rain Dragon]

I'm going to stay neutron on this one.

Aside from some hydrogen atoms (hydrogen is a little weird), neutrons are a very important part of an atom. As if trying to keep track of over 100 elements wasn't enough, neutrons add variety within an atom as well. Ahahah. Ahh. Science is fun.

(If we were voting outside the three, I quite like quarks as well.)

[Kato]

Isn't voting on quarks in this competition like saying you prefer flour over bread vs cake?

[Socratov]

Isn't voting on quarks in this competition like saying you prefer flour over bread vs cake?

Well, yes, and no. It can mean you prefer the flour, but it can also mean that you don't really care between either, as long as it's a product made with flour...
