[thedeadwalk!]

I once had a substitute, who, for some reason, started giving us investing advice and said: "You should put all your eggs in one basket, then watch that basket."

...

[lfantwister]

Don't take any substitute's advice on money matters (look where it got them!)

[PerpetualBurn]

Then how did they let you attend?

SOrry that was awful

It was slightly lacking.

You might want to go for a slightly more offensive animal than a rat. Rats are cute.

[lfantwister]

Eeewww. I don't like rats. Therefore I don't like you.

Also, they are not cute at all.

[PerpetualBurn]

http://www.petsworld.co.uk/images/rats.jpg

You could not be more wrong.

[Ando!]

Cute, Very.

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

putting bow ties on them is cheating.

[lfantwister]

Yeah I'm with the weatherman. My dog is still cuter

[PerpetualBurn]

It doesn't have a bowtie. Those are its feet.

And your dog isn't the point. Rats can be cute.

[lfantwister]

Nope. I'm just not a big fan of rodents in general

[PerpetualBurn]

I'm a cat person myself but I couldn't really keep a cat even if I did have permission. Or a dog.

[lfantwister]

I just quit my job!

[PerpetualBurn]

Now you're not part of the capitalist machine!

/in before coheneran

[lfantwister]

No no no I still have another one. Don't get too excited.

[PerpetualBurn]

Two jobs? That's barely sticking it to the man at all.

I love being a lazy student. I do nothing.

[lfantwister]

Yeah well,... you suck.


I only have like 3 classes this semester so I'm gonna take it easy. Second semester senior year, after all.

[griftadan]

i'm going to need a job to support my binge drinking before long, i've only got like 500$ left in my college spending money fund.

[thedeadwalk!]

Water down some cheap everclear.

[lfantwister]

work at a grocery store. You don't do ****

[griftadan]

Water down some cheap everclear.

sometimes i like remembering my nights though

[thedeadwalk!]

Don't drink too much. I remember all of my drunken soirees.

Volumnius Flush has returned.

Happy happy days await.

[spitfirejunky]

Is it a coincidence that both The Tway and VF are back?

[PerpetualBurn]

I don't know what you're suggesting but, sir, I don't like it.

<<<<<<<Anti-capitalist??

People starving because of your ideology strikes me as hypocritical in the extreme. You can be anti-capitalist in general and still support capitalist ventures in the short run where they produce more good than harm. I think it's pretty obvious that Israel isn't ready to move beyond capitalism on a large scale yet.



Considering we pull loads of stuff out of dumpsters, yes, yes it does reduce waste. Not much. Barely. A tiny miniscule unimportant amount. But still does. And it discourages consumerism among those that do it. Most importantly, it's free.

You're still eating goods produced in an industrial setting.


No, but I will grow my own vegetables, when I have the space to do so.

On whose land?

What the hell is sufficient compensation for five hundred years of colonialism and all it entails?! Most of those poor people are gonna be dead in a hundred years time, and not from old age.

No where but the Americas has endured 500 years of colonialism, and to be quite frank, the US seems to be doing reasonably well for itself. Colonialism in Africa and Asia is barely more than 150 years old at the most, except in India which is also doing quite well.

Obviously it is impossible to compensate the people already dead for their efforts, but we can adequately compensate people working in third world economies today and I think it is imperative that we do so. We also need to stop making it so damn difficult for them to compete with the west.



So nothing. Just interesting. Kind of like what happened with organic food quality. It shows that capitalism can't be sustainable.

No it doesn't. It shows that unchecked pillage of resources isn't sustainable, but only an idiot would think that's the same as capitalism.

Ok 10 points for whoever knows this song without googling it

a good test is for them to tell me the arrangement


We all got born so afraid
And still search for words
To describe that pain
And cling to each other
Like pigeons in the rain
And nuzzle over feathered breast
With beaks all worn and cracked an stained...

Hang on to each other

So this one's for the lost ones
And the dead ones & the ones who fell away
All our busted brothers
And tumbled lovers
Spitting at the rain

We all got born so afraid
And still search for words
To describe that pain

Hang on to each other...
and any ****ing thing you love...

Birds toss precious flowers
From the murky skies above...

Hang on to each other...
Any ****ing thing you love


it's about how the world is a horrible place and the best thing we can do is cling to the little victories in life

[Retrovertigo]

is there a reason there isnt a thread on this (http://my.break.com/media/view.aspx?ContentID=192055)

guys i just took 2 death clock ests and both say i'll die in 2063

that's ages right

Lol.

[GreyHam]

what would be the difference between h20 and hh0...

[PerpetualBurn]

One of them is an accepted scientific term, the other has never appeard in an accepted peer-review journal?

[GreyHam]

from what i remember, h20 involves 2 mini hydrogen atoms attatched to one oxygen atom, so hho (he he...ho) would be 3 atoms in a straight line.

which doesnt make any sense

still a fun video

if only twere true

[Retrovertigo]

so whats the problem with it then?

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

well haven't seen it yet but h-h-o is not a stable molecule

[spitfirejunky]

The only stable conformation of H2O is the H2O we know. Any other combination would entail having two electrons on H (H-), which is possible but not at all feasible for covalent bonds in this situation due to the shape the orbitals would have to take.

EDIT:

Not to mention that H- is an extremely powerful Lewis base, so the electron will almost always be donated.

[Africa]

Did anyone watch this Jonestown documentary on the History channel? I am disturbed, I have a sick feeling in my stomach. I find such mass brainwashing does this to me.

[Iskandar]

So I theorize Tway is behind both VF and Antifa.

[lunchforthesky]

Yeah what happened to Antifa. I agree though.

[Iskandar]

Yeah what happened to Antifa. I agree though.
I'm unsure if Antifa was a gimmick, although if he was I'm sure Tway was behind it. He's posed as a commie before.

[lunchforthesky]

Thing is though VF has 2000+ posts and an 2005 sign up. A lot of effort for a gimmick.

Why make a gimmick anyway. Some people have alot of time on their hands.

Tway had something like 17 000 posts.

Yeah, it's lame.

[spitfirejunky]

The early VF days were priceless. Now he/she's suddenly gained an intellectual edge.

[Volumnius Flush]

you

You have to admit, she's pretty hot though. Young = hot!

So I theorize Tway is behind both VF and Antifa.

Don't even mention my name with their's. Isn't there a way to search my IP? It should verify I am indeed from Texas.

I'm gonna suppose that VF isn't a gimmick because PNWI gimmicks don't usually take the effort to ask for relationships advice

could be wrong tho

I saw them too, well kinda it was cut short because someone got stabbed :/

[Volumnius Flush]

Exciting! Yes, Jamey is a little man indeed. I had to wait 45 minutes for him to get off his tour bus so I could meet him. It was one of the greatest moments of my life. Him and Phil Labonte.

I dont really like that kind of music anymore, this was three years ago. Ive grown out of metalcore really.

And I was completely convinced that VF was Tway :(

His back story is too thorough to be a gimmick.

I don't see why.

Keeping up a gimmick isn't too hard as long as you remember what lies you've told.

I'm fairly certain Thatcher actually was Satan. If she and Reagan had produced a child, it would have brought about the apocalypse.

And I was completely convinced that VF was Tway :(

No need to be disappointed. Imagine a world with a sociopathic Tway, but you will be relieved forthwith when you conclude the world is big enough for the both of us.

Homotopia, geez it has such a better ring.

Outside of the issue of homosexuality, we're not really all that far apart. Well and maybe Israel too but you'll come to your senses on that sooner or later.


Yes...he's quite the tit.


Offensive opinions stated cordially are much better reading than (relatively) inoffensive positions stated offensively. That's why I prefer Wotan's posting on here to yours :p

[lunchforthesky]

Abortion, Stem Cells, Religion, Economics, Welfare, Foreign Policy.

Were all pretty much opposed to you on all those issues.

[Iskandar]

Homotopia, geez it has such a better ring.

Outside of the issue of homosexuality, we're not really all that far apart. Well and maybe Israel too but you'll come to your senses on that sooner or later.
I fully support the existence of the state of Israel. It's a functioning democratic state, has successfully integrated various ethnic and languages groups (except for Arabs) and in any event it's not going away anytime soon. However, there are some of its actions I don't support, like lending precedence to Orthodox rabbis. Oh, and military blah blah blah.

I also realize that there are quite a few Arabs without a home.

EDIT: See lunch's post. He's right, we really are far apart. We're just not so far apart that we can't agree on anything.

[Hababi]

Abortion, Stem Cells, Religion, Economics, Welfare, Foreign Policy.


Not stem cells (ASSumption :D), though now that stem cells from the womb have proven to be just as promising, this can cease to be an issue. On economics, he's hard commie but I'm pretty much centrist. Welfare yeah I hate welfare but everyone who lives in a high welfare area, except the folks on welfare, do. Foreign policy I'm much more measured than you may think ;)

You'll get used to my political philosophy in time.

[lunchforthesky]

Israel rulzz and Gays/Muslims/Paedophiles/Anti-semites are the sole cause of the worlds problems.

Did I get it right?

Wait, what do you think my economic philosophy is?

I wouldn't like welfare but for the fact that extensive welfare states have the highest standards of living in the world.

I'm still in doubt that you can differentiate between various interpretations of Marxism and realize that what's conventionally called "Communism" is actually Leninism.

[Hababi]

I'm still in doubt that you can differentiate between various interpretations of Marxism

and i thought you were getting to know me :(

[Iskandar]

and i thought you were getting to know me :(
So I'm correct.

Why can't you see the difference between me and Lenin, or Marx and Lenin? They're there. They're vast.

[Hababi]

So I'm correct.

No that's the point! :lol:


Why can't you see the difference between me and Lenin, or Marx and Lenin? They're there. They're vast.

I can. Those espousing Marx, when in power, almost always turn to Lenin and then Stalin.

But I usually avoid economics threads so I rarely see you lay out your entire philosophy.

[Iskandar]

I can. Those espousing Marx, when in power, almost always turn to Lenin and then Stalin.
Now we get to the meat of the problem at last. For you see:

The 20th century movement known as Communism wasn't based on Marxism. It was based on Leninism.

[Hababi]

And Leninism was based on Marxism. It's the natural order of government when you mix Marx's idealism with human nature (aka reality).

[nowhesingsnowhesobs]

Marxism doesn't necessarily lead to a belief in Lenninism

[Iskandar]

And Leninism was based on Marxism. It's the natural order of government when you mix Marx's idealism with human nature (aka reality).
Thing is, Leninism represents a marked departure from Marxism.

They're as similar as Nietzche and Hitler.

[Hababi]

Lenin still espoused Marx, whereas, to my knowledge, Hitler didn't espouse Nietzche, nor take his inspiration from him.

[nowhesingsnowhesobs]

I'm pretty sure your point wasn't just that Lenin espoused Marx

[Iskandar]

Lenin still espoused Marx, whereas, to my knowledge, Hitler didn't espouse Nietzche, nor take his inspiration from him.
Lenin's political views were radically different from Marx's. That's why it's called Marxism-Leninism.

The Nazis did use some of Nietzsche's ideas as justification for their actions and propaganda purposes, especially the Ubermensch. Everybody knows that.

[YDtoad]

That would take too much research to really discuss but I'm not really disagreeing with you there.

And I'm posting here because I have a compulsion to post today.

[Iskandar]

Alright.

Just don't get Marxism and Leninism mixed up again. They're very different ideologies, always have been.

[YDtoad]

I really wouldn't say VASTLY different. I mean, Marxism and Nazism, and Marxism and laissez faire capitalism are.

To put it another way, think of it on the political compass: Where does Marxism fall, and where does Leninism fall?

Marxism, since it has so many interpretations, can vary between the extreme authoritarian (Stalin) and extreme libertarian (council communists, etc.). It is always fairly far left economically, though this can vary somewhat.

Lenin himself would have been maybe -7, 6. Stalin would have been -10, 10. Marx himself would have been waaaay left economically but in a moderate social position.

Maybe, but still, the difference is large and irreconcilable on many levels.

I might compare it to Keynes and fascism. They're usually in the same area economically, but one is waaay more authoritarian, which makes a huge difference. That is exactly the difference between Marxism and Leninism.

Making excessive references to child casualties and not making any deal at all over the lies we went to war over don't earn that protestor my respect.

"peace for our troops, civil war for the iraqis" would've made a more consitant campaign

Hey, Zero, I just saw Jesus Camp. I know you complained about the music but all that was produced by the evangelicals themselves. I'd agree the radio host was unnecessary though, and exaggerated in his opinion. Other than that, I found it more frightening than any horror movie I've ever seen.

Oh, and the part with Ted Haggard was priceless.

[coheneran]

THERE MUST BE LIKE A FOOT OF SNOW OUTSIDE AND IT'S STILL SNOWING!

Wicked.

[PerpetualBurn]

It's snowing here at uni and we've got a flashmob pillowfight in 15 minutes.

I'll tell you how it goes.

[Hababi]

Hey, Zero, I just saw Jesus Camp. I know you complained about the music but all that was produced by the evangelicals themselves.

What about the creepy music they play for emphasis, as the score for the documentary? That's more what I was thinking of. I guess I'd have to rewatch it to be able to cite a specific place though.

[PerpetualBurn]

I didn't pay much attention to the music, I was too busy with the systematic destruction of a lot of childhoods.

The pillow fight went well. Not the turn out we hoped for, but I reckon the snow caused that.

[coheneran]

People should organise more original flashmobs than just pillowfights or iPod dance-offs over and over again. Anyway, a flashmob snowball fight in Bloomsbury or Bank area today would have been wicked. I've a plan forming...

We're very open to ideas, but the reality is we needed to get the word out about something that people would actually do. Anything complicated and no one can be arsed.

It'll be good if we can get some popularity for it and take it to the city centre.

[coheneran]

For sure. How do you "get the word out"?

I'm really interested in textmob, and I know there's a way to send loads of texts free off the internet, just not sure how. Chain-texting works kinda, but it's not as reliable.

[PerpetualBurn]

Internet + Word of mouth. Facebook, mainly.

It's finding the balance between something creative and something that everyone can do easily.

[coheneran]

How about a mass dry-hump in the city centre? Somewhere with loads of old people and children, preferably.

Or are your flashmobs mostly a sausage-fest (not that that would bother me)?

[PerpetualBurn]

Well today was the first one, but it was a reasonable mix, though slightly more lads.

[coheneran]

Save this for the summer: Flashmob waterfight, no holds barred. Buckets, super-soakers, water-balloons (my personal favourite), anything that strikes a fancy.

EDIT: Better idea!: http://questionablecontent.net/

[PerpetualBurn]

A waterfight would be cool, but the practical issues would be tough.

[coheneran]

If lots of people smoke, how about flashmobbing a crowded and small space (like a Starbucks), everyone lights up and starts puffing religiously and chainsmoking for 30 minutes before dispersing? I don't like encouraging people to smoke, but that would be hilarious.

[thedeadwalk!]

What about the creepy music they play for emphasis, as the score for the d0cumentary? That's more what I was thinking of. I guess I'd have to rewatch it to be able to cite a specific place though.
Can't say I recall any creepy music they didn't play themselves. But, if there was any that they didn't, yeah, that would be unnecessary.

[GreyHam]

did we have a discussion over the leaked footage of the a10 blowing up the british convoy

[coheneran]

No, just some comments at how ****ing stupid the Iraq war is and how shitty the American regime is.

[GreyHam]

aaaah thats all i wated to hear anyways

[badtaste]

How come no one has posted a thread about that video of those American pilots shooting the British troops emerging? I thought that would have been a hot issue.

[GreyHam]

its no even a listed story on wikinews

the american government have got so much egg on their faces....

[badtaste]

I didn't know that there was a friendly fire case. Tragic, but an accident. :[

you just linked to todays

is that what you meant to do

also <3 that comic

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

I didn't know that there was a friendly fire case. Tragic, but an accident. :[

Yeah it was but the pilots kept asking base if they were friendlies because of the orange panels and the base was all "no friendlies in your are" then seconds after they opened fire it was all "be advised friendly convoy in area"

[Hababi]

Yeah it was but the pilots kept asking base if they were friendlies because of the orange panels and the base was all "no friendlies in your are" then seconds after they opened fire it was all "be advised friendly convoy in area"

Yeah it was just a case of the worst luck in the world.

[Mr. Ron]

That sucks. :[

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

Yeah it was just a case of the worst luck in the world.

Aye. I think the problem was that we'd told the yanks we were on that road but had told them exactly where we were, then had to move and tried to tell you but had radio problems? And the message didn't get through?


I think it was that combined with the GC thinking the pilots were somewhere they weren't.


Tough for the families, tough for the pilots.

[Der Übermensch]

Its sucks majorly, but FF incidents are just a reality of war.

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

aye, they are.




couespecially wars in which america is involvedgh!!!

oh, excuse me. ;)

[badtaste]

About that friendly fire incident, supposedly the widow of the British troop that was killed, was told that no footage of the incident existed. I think that's part of the controversy or something like that.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,,2009301,00.html

Plus, it turned out that the pilot didn't have authority to fire.

I really wonder how the footage was leaked to The Sun (of all papers).

sign the one about vehicle trackers for car tax

1m signatures plus

UK only tho (it's a proper one)

government got pwned

[The_Passenger]

Done and done, I would've never thought to do that if you hadn't posted it. I need to be more aware of petitions etc.

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

It's just funny that a MILLION PEOPLE on the INTERNET signed it

and the government will still be all "no this will somehow stop global warming"

[ringworm]

Man, this guy needs his *** kicked

The reporter was investigating several claims of $500-$700 glasses people ordered but never received anything but threats when trying to either get a refund OR what they payed for.

This guy apologized to the reporter on the phone for previous abuse & invited him back the store & said my new religion embraces & loves you, then this is what happened when the reporter showed up, LOL

What do you guys think Smokey D's D stands for? My guess is Dennis.

Death

[PerpetualBurn]

I don't know what it stands for, but Smokey D certainly sounds like the mascot of a cigarett company.

[pedro durruti]

Your name sounds like a brand of firelog

[spitfirejunky]

Dee.

[Iskandar]

Dee.Hey, just curious: What does الغردقة mean? Is it a place name?

[Smokey D]

The D doesn't mean anything.

[Iskandar]

Just for the record, neither does "The Dropper," although it's the title of an album by Medeski Martin and Wood.

[spitfirejunky]

Hey, just curious: What does الغردقة mean? Is it a place name?

Yep. It means nothing as far as I know.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurghada

[Iskandar]

Yep. It means nothing as far as I know.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HurghadaCool. Are you there right now?

Renowned for belly dancing, Arabic and Nubian folklore, is "Alf Leila Wa Leila" ("One thousand and one nights").
Uhh ... that article needs some editing.

[spitfirejunky]

I was during the summer. I'm usually in and out of Alexandria and Hurghada, but I spend most of my time in Cairo with my family.

"Alf leila wa leila" is coloquial Egyptian for that, incase you're confused. :)

[Smokey D]

Do you plan on living in Egypt after your degree.

[Iskandar]

Cool. I read "[something] night and night" and thought "what?"

I have so far stringently ensured my Arabic is not tainted by inferior dialects.:o But I've kind of given it up for now.:(

[pedro durruti]

Hey Smokey don't you think it's a bit superfluous to have "Moderator" in your user title?

[spitfirejunky]

Do you plan on living in Egypt after your degree.

Not likely. I'm probably gonna continue living in NYC, and visit Egypt for long durations as I usually do.

Cool. I read "[something] night and night" and thought "what?"

I have so far stringently ensured my Arabic is not tainted by inferior dialects. But I've kind of given it up for now.

That's good though. Leila is actually supposed to be read as "night" not "nights." But most coloquialisms neglect proper grammar.

[Smokey D]

It was changed to that when I was immoderated. I haven't touched my profile since I got here and I don't see any pressing need yet.

[thedeadwalk!]

So apparently there's a Japanese doctor injecting stem cells into women's breasts. Why? To make bigger boobies of course!

Brilliant!

[HazMatBlue]

why would you use stem cells for that?
there are much much cheaper and morally safe ways.

[PerpetualBurn]

Morally safe is a stupid term.

And any more than handful's a waste.

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

stem cells = not a huge deal?

[coheneran]

Abortion = Not a huge deal:

If a zygote/foetus is unwanted, it is a parasite feeding off your body, and you have the right to self-defence. This is regardless of how the zygote/foetus came to be, and a parasite is a parasite, regardless of its species.

I like this argument because it is vicious, cruel and cynical.

I read a good quote today:

"Democracy is to say that 100 people are smarter than 1. Yet that hundred elects one to represent them because he is more qualified."

Hey, Zero, I just saw Street Fight and it was good. I was amazed James' own campaign rep used "political machine" to describe his own campaign. Also, him busing in people from Philly blew me over.

Anyone have recommendations for other political or historical documentaries? I know we've got a list for literature but one for documentaries would probably good too especially for people interested who are still afraid of books; help get the ball rolling.

I'll probably check out Downfall soon.

[Hababi]

Haha yeah and then having the gaul to claim that his workers were all local, while Booker's were "carpetbaggers."

But the best part was James continually saying that Booker was Jewish :lol:

It's hard to find really good political documentaries--that's why I was so relieved that Street Fight as so good. It was like the anti-Michael Moore film.


I'll probably check out Downfall soon.

I own a copy :D

Check out Spinning Boris, great film.

That ain't gonna happen. Guys like Sharpe James will keep on making anti Semitic remarks no matter what, and would do so regardless of the existence of the state of Israel.

[Iskandar]

Fine then, I just want everybody everywhere to stop being so obsessed with Jews. They aren't any better or worst than anyone else. They're an oft-persecuted ethnic group with curly hair and a penchant for uvular consonants. That is it.

Today I found out that Anna Frank's family was refused a visa by the USA in 1941.

Some of the best cookies you'll ever eat

[coheneran]

I had a dream last night that I was in a crappy pub on a boat, and lots of different things happened. One of those things was that I found two plastic bags, one full of soft-dough chocolate cookies, the other full of cookies that were covered in white flakes, grated coconut I assumed. I picked them up and then some fat lady who was behind the bar snatched them from me and said that someone had spat in them, and put the bags in the bin.

[PerpetualBurn]

I had a dream last night that I was in a crappy pub on a boat

If you go to Leeds then there's a pub that is a boat. It's called The Dry Docks. I recommend it.

[coheneran]

This was in a wooden boat that was more like a big raft made of driftwood. The planks was all faded grey-brown and ****. Most everyone there was fat and white. I bin watching too much Boondocks.

[PerpetualBurn]

Some psychiatrist somewhere would have a field day interpreting that.

[coheneran]

That psychiatrist would be hardpressed to find a psychological truth in it considering dreams are supposed to be thoughts and experiences of the past day/few days.
