I've never been very good at playing against the queens pawn opening, so anyone have any adivce or responses to it?

The King's Indian Defense works well.

KNOCK THE KING OVER don't worry about the pawn

I would say it very much depends on your style.  How would you characterize your opening temperament?

Against Kings pawn I play C5, I like playing open games, closed games not so much.

 What's the King's Indian Defense?

I would recommend the Queens Gambit Accepted because of Black's free and easy development.  It avoids a lot of the theoretical lines and the center is controlled by pieces rather than pawns.

Just play moves that will do you some good. :P

 I think you could try the Benko Gambit.

I like to play the Leningrad variation of the Dutch Defense against 1. d4. This is because it is a rote set-up that you can use almost no matter what white does, and the move order usually doesn't matter much, so you don't have a lot of memorization to do. Weaker players aren't familiar with this defense, so it usually rolls over them. Strong players who are familiar with it--well, that's something else again, since it does have its flaws, often revolving around a weak e6 square. It's an opening for adventurous fighters with lots of nerve. 

Play the laskers defense

It depends a good deal on "which Queen Pawn opening" you mean.

Your thread at first started out like you were talking about "The Queen Pawn Game," which is a set of openings where White plays d4 but not c4...but now it looks like you are referring to all queen-pawn openings...that's a pretty vast set of openings.

If you enjoy the kind of tactics that are in the Sicilian, you might want to give the Semi-Slav a go. Matthew Sadler has an excellent book on it.

I would also reccomend the semi slav.  Particularly the variation 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6  3.  Nf3 e6  4.  Nc3 dxc4
