I've met Mark Hamill.No way.
Look, I know Marx was kinda cute back then and Engels wasn't bad either. But it was 120 years ago. Give up the dream.I have always been fond of beards. I have one myself.

[Smokey D]

No way.

When I was like 4.


I have always been fond of beards. I have one myself.

Besides like 2 people, beards make everyone who wears them look hideous.

[Iskandar]

Besides like 2 people, beards make everyone who wears them look hideous.Who's the other one, then? I have to meet this guy so we can revel in our shared beardliness.

[1338 h4x0r]

The fact that you want to base your life off a party magician saddens me.

http://www.randi.org/joom/about-james-randi.html

lol

Very few have owned more people than he has.

Who's the other one, then? I have to meet this guy so we can revel in our shared beardliness.

You've seen my picture, haven't you?

[Smokey D]

Er, Canadians never look good sorry.

The people that take inordinate pleasure in ruining other people's delusions are arseholes.

btw I like going around telling young children that Santa (Father Christmas) is a lie. They'll cry for a few hours, but will ultimately emerge wiser and less fearful.

[Smokey D]

Whatever. You wanna be a party magician.

[1338 h4x0r]

I want to be a computer scientist tbh

[Iskandar]

Quick, somebody think of a good-looking Canadian besides me!

I have no aspirations and no prospects. Maybe I'll just make some bad art and shoot myself in the chest.

[1338 h4x0r]

You could become a full-fledged A-rab

My ears just started ringing something nasty btw, I have no idea why

[Iskandar]

I have bad tinnitus so my ears ring all the time.

[Dr Hooch]

Also I don't like having foreign **** in my lungs.

so you only breathe purified oxygen from a tank?

That'll probably get you high too

Star Wars is terrible.

But the best one was Empire Strikes Back.

Your whole point relies on it.

Where as more rational people understand that you can in fact have your cake and eat it too.

I like this post better as a quote

I don't understand how people fell in love with the bad acting, terrible direction and incestuous plot.


y-you don't?

It's cuz-a Big Gum'mnt

No.

My respiratory tract can be counted on to filter out dust, many bacteria, certain pollutants, etc.

Deliberately inhaling smoke wasn't part of the QA testing.

Don't be a smartass

[Rounder]

I have bad tinnitus so my ears ring all the time.

I have the same. It's from an inner ear infection I had for about 20 years. Finally the docs cut into my head, found an infection between the lining of my brain and the brain and had to take out a chunk of skull for me to continue to exist. I still get tinnitus, all the time, and have since learned is not not a physical noise, except in the case of objective tinnitus, It's all in your head, so to speak. Sucks ***.

[Knifeboy]

Is it an actual pitch you hear rounder? because then you could cheat and use it to gain absolute pitch ;)

The last couple of pages of this thread has been thoroughly entertaining btw

[totah]

I read the Sun on the bus today.

It was really terrible, but I can see why people read it on the way to work. I enjoyed reading page 3.

They were going on about how we should execute Muslimites.

[Der Übermensch]

Muslimites... are those like Mohammedans?

[dei]

Saracens.

[Mister_Che]

Today I came into contact with the Buy American Act, which is basically exactly what it sounds like.

Do you guys think buying domestic products for one price outweighs buying the same exact overseas product for half the price if it means a small economic boost (in this case $300k) for us?

[totah]

Yes, it supports your local economy. If everyone did it then there wouldn't be so much pollution from all the superfreights going in and out all the time.

But you should first topple your government.

[guitrguy]

I don't make enough money for me to viably do the buy American stuff.

[totah]

So just topple your government instead.

[Reaganista]

sometimes i buy stuff that happens to be made in america but it's not like i set out to do it

[Dave de Sylvia]

It's generally not a good idea to promote inefficiency, but if it's a start-up or a fresh food producer then it's probably a good thing.

Apparently I need a copy of Fountainhead for my architectural appreciation class.

[1338 h4x0r]

but not all. so foreign stuff gets into your lungs ALL THE TIME.

Nearly all of it is trapped by the cilia or nasal cavity—especially if you breathe through your nose—the rest is negligible

Surely you're not comparing the tiny amount of foreign bodies that get into your lungs under normal circumstances to lighting something up and deliberately inhaling the vapors.

But, there again, smoking anything damages the cilia and so increases the risk of respiratory infections. In that case, the two really might be similar in the long run after all.

Incidentally, I'm getting tired of you teasing me when I haven't done anything to you

Apparently I need a copy of Fountainhead for my architectural appreciation class.

Why? What the hell does Ayn Rand have to do with architecture?

[Der Übermensch]

Apparently I need a copy of Fountainhead for my architectural appreciation class.

Take 20th Century Philosophy and see if they assign a Frank Lloyd Wright primer...

[guitrguy]

haha

[guitrguy]

Why? What the hell does Ayn Rand have to do with architecture?

I have no idea, but I guess I'll find out.

[1338 h4x0r]

methinks your prof is a little too ideological

[guitrguy]

idk I still have over a month until class starts. I was just reserving my books, and saw that under my Arch. Apprec. class.

[1338 h4x0r]

Ayn Rand's books are incredibly boring. They probably read better in the original Russian.

If I had to read the whole text of Fountainhead, I'd probably either drop the class or try to pass with a C.

[Reaganista]

Howard Roark, a brilliant young architect, is expelled from the Stanton Institute of Technology [1]for refusing to abide by its outdated traditions. He goes to New York City to work for Henry Cameron, a disgraced architect whom Roark admires. Roark’s highly successful but vacuous schoolmate, Peter Keating, also moves to New York to work for the prestigious architectural firm, Francon & Heyer. Roark and Cameron create inspired work, but their projects rarely receive recognition, whereas (despite his mediocrity) Keating’s ability to flatter and please brings him almost instant success.

Roark closes his office rather than compromise his drawings, and his ideals, to the whims of his clients. He takes a job at a Connecticut granite quarry owned by Guy Francon, whose beautiful, temperamental, and idealistic daughter, Dominique, beguilles Peter Keating.

While Roark is working in the quarry, he encounters Dominique, who has taken an extended holiday in the same town as the quarry. There is an immediate physical attraction between the two of them. Dominique visits the quarry frequently to tempt Roark and eventually, Roark and Dominique have aggressive and passionate sex.

Ellsworth Toohey, a columnist for The New York Banner and author of the popular column One Small Voice, is an outspoken socialist, who is covertly rising to power by shaping public opinion through his column and his circle of influential associates, and whose quite openly proclaimed designs are not understood or taken seriously. Toohey sets out to destroy Roark through a smear campaign he spearheads at "The Banner."

Toohey convinces a weak-minded businessman named Hopton Stoddard to hire Roark as the designer for a temple dedicated to the human spirit. Roark designs the temple, with a naked statue of Dominique, which creates the first public outcry towards Howard. Toohey further manipulates Stoddard into suing Roark for general incompetence and fraud. At Roark’s trial, every prominent architect in New York (including Keating) testifies that Roark’s style is unorthodox and illegitimate. Dominique defends Roark, but Stoddard wins the case and Roark loses his business again.

That evening, Dominique pays Keating a visit, and makes him a one-time offer of her hand in marriage. Keating accepts, and they are married that evening. Dominique turns her entire spirit over to Peter, hosting the dinners he wants, agreeing with him, and saying whatever he wants her to say. She fights Roark, and herds all of his potential clients over to the slowly weakening Keating.

Wynand finds that every building he likes is done by Roark, so he enlists Howard to build him a home. The home is built, and Howard and Gail become great friends, though Wynand does not know about his past relationship with Dominique.

Now washed up and out of the public eye, Keating realizes he is a failure, and rather than accept retirement, he pleads with Ellsworth for commission to build the much sought after Cortlandt housing project. Keating knows that his most successful projects were aided by Roark, and he knows Roark is the only person who can design Cortlandt. Roark agrees to design it in exchange for complete anonymity and the agreement that it would be built exactly as he designed.

When Roark returns from a spring-long yacht trip with Wynand, he finds that, despite the agreement, the Cortlandt Homes project has been changed. Roark asks Dominique to distract the night watchman and dynamites the building. The entire country condemns Roark, but Wynand finally finds the courage to follow his convictions and orders his newspapers to defend him. The Banner’s circulation drops and the workers go on strike (spurred on by Toohey), but Wynand keeps printing with Dominique’s help. Eventually after the whole public opinion is against Wynand and all of his staff has left him, he denounces Roark on the suggestion of his board members. At the trial, Roark seems doomed, but he rouses the courtroom with a statement about the value of selfishness and the need to remain true to oneself. The jury finds him not guilty. Roark marries Dominique. Wynand asks Roark to design one last building, a skyscraper that will testify to the supremacy of man and states, "Build it as a monument to that spirit which is yours...and could have been mine."

The book ends quickly after that with time moved up eighteen months with the Wynand Building well on its way to completion. The last scene follows Dominique (now Mrs. Roark), entering the site and rushing to meet the now vindicated and strong Howard Roark, Architect.


hope this helps

[Amit]

wait so is that going to be on the final?

[guitrguy]

Probably.

[1338 h4x0r]

Alright, several of the characters are architects but the subtext of Rand's works has never been about architecture

[guitrguy]

The point of the class is to show the influences architecture has outside of just building design.

[1338 h4x0r]

I see some ... tangential relation. Doesn't justify reading that huge *** book though

[guitrguy]

Idk, I really don't think reading the book will turn me back into a libertarian.

[1338 h4x0r]

I doubt it myself, but that doesn't mean it won't bore the living Hell out of you, which I can virtually guarantee

[Mr. Ron]

Ayn rand is one ugly bitch

btw, I realized the secret for academic success is to find out what you have to take in the future and read intensively about it on your own now.

This approach seems kind of gay, but I don't like studying, so I have very little choice.

I prefer to gauge the course first. I have yet to actually sit down and study.

It was unstickid like a week after it ended.

I didn't realise Rand wrote in Russian. She lived in America.

If you moved to China now would you feel comfortable enough to write serious literature in Mandarin even after 10 years?

[Iskandar]

If you moved to China now would you feel comfortable enough to write serious literature in Mandarin even after 10 years?No, because Mandarin is one of the world's most difficult languages.

[Hababi]

No, because Mandarin is one of the world's most difficult languages.

For an English speaker, yes. Russian is not easy either, nor is English for a native Russian speaker.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah but if you live in 'Merica you damn well better speak 'Merican.

[guitrguy]

For an English speaker, yes. Russian is not easy either, nor is English for a native Russian speaker.

If I had the time, I would totally attempt to learn Russian. Keyword being attempt.

[Hababi]

Russian sucks. Learn a cool language.

[guitrguy]

I was pretty good at German right out of high school, but I haven't really used it so I've been losing it.

[Smokey D]

Lots of people write in languages that aren't their own.

[Hababi]

Lots of people write in languages that aren't their own.

Yeah, not great literature.

[Smokey D]

I disagree.

[1338 h4x0r]

No, because Mandarin is one of the world's most difficult languages.

The writing system anyway

Grammar isn't too bad

[guitrguy]

Yeah, not great literature.

I don't see why not. There are plenty of foreign bands who write in English and are capable of writing lyrics better than a lot of American bands.

[1338 h4x0r]

Johan Hegg writes much better lyrics than most shitty US pop bands. His intuitive command of English is really incredible give or take a few small technical errors

[Mr. Ron]

I am the black wizards

[guitrguy]

ew emperor

Melvins are better.

[McP3000]

i didn't know Melvins and Emperor were comparable

[Mr. Ron]

Emperor catches a lot of flak but I enjoy most of their albums.

[1338 h4x0r]

Yeah Emperor sucks

[Mr. Ron]

Chris I will slap you on the arm so hard.

[1338 h4x0r]

I've tried my level best to like Emperor on several occasions

[McP3000]

I only like In the Nightside Eclipse. The rest is meh.

[guitrguy]

i didn't know Melvins and Emperor were comparable

In my world of fantasy and unicorns they are!

[Mr. Ron]

:d!

[McP3000]

In my world of fantasy and sludge metal they are!

unicorns are prettier though

i really wish there was a sludge metal band named Unicorns right now

[guitrguy]

dude lets start one

[McP3000]

itll be perfect

im a really bad guitarist

[guitrguy]

lol good Imma a really bad drummer.

sludge metal is boring for the most part. cavity never gets old, though.

i love sludge, its just really really easy to make fun of

Screwdriver repeatedly lands in his face
Gouges and hacks at the man of disgrace
Tearing off muscles from the bones of his chest
Rending his flesh with rage I've been blessed

Chopped off the tongue that told the lies
I spit on him and laugh while he dies
Lying there helpless I throw a brick at your head
Starving for violence and now I've been fed

His blood drips from my mouth
I bit his larynx out
Biting off fingers when he tried to push me back

His blood drips from my mouth
I bit his larynx out
Biting off fingers when he tried to push me back
Chopping at his face in hate, I gouge and hack

Crushing the despised

Under my boot I hear your bones crack
So many things that you want to take back
I won't forget and I won't forgive
Not so long as I allow you to live

Chopped off the tongue that told the lies
I spit on him and laugh while he dies
Lying there helpless I throw a brick at your head
Starving for violence and now I've been fed

His blood drips from my mouth
I bit his larynx out
Biting off fingers when he tried to push me back

His blood drips from my mouth

Bleed for my pain
Revenge on treacherous snakes
They will pay

Slicing the flesh
Sculptured wounds my catharsis
I will stain

Into the heart
Needle injects gasoline
Convulsions

The one that they betrayed
Has made them this way

Plagued by the bastards
I will kill you
Killed by my rage

Scream at my face
The grisly scars went unavenged
Until now

Deep in the hole
You are not gagged and scream aloud
But unheard

Choke on your vomit
You watch your hands cut off
Then your legs

The one that you betrayed
Will kill you this way

Scarred by the bastards
I will kill you
Killed by my rage
I must kill you

Into the throat
The scalpel slices
Warm blood sprays out
The gushing entices

Pull out your heart
And let you watch
Shove in your mouth
Then stab your crotch

I watch your agony

I am released
From years of pain
Your death averted
My becoming insane
You are dead

I have killed you

[cobert]

One

Its like a dream come true

Two

Just wanna be with you

Three

And its plain to see
That youre the only one for me

Four

Repeat steps one through three

Five

Make you fall in love with me

If ever i believe my work is done
Then i start back at one

The basement incinerator
Is where they'll put the head
Hose the floor and clean the room
Anywhere they bled

Into boxes go the bags
Fill the space with rocks
In the dark of night
He throws them off the docks

Rotting in the river
Never to be found
Under tons of concrete
Deep beneath the ground

From behind he grabs his mouth
The blade goes to his neck
Bulging veins pumping blood
He struggles to protect

If you don't cut open the stomach
The corpse will rise and float
The victim is discovered dead
Rotting organs bloat

The killer chops the body
With a scalpel and an ax
The parts are then drained
And put into the sacks

Grab the neck, Slit the throat, take the life
Hang the corpse - Prepare to drain the blood

Bone saw, meat cleaver, filleting knife
Carve the corpse - Dissect him in the tub

Smash the teeth, slice off scars, crush the bones
With a crowbar - scrape off all tattoos

If you don't cut open the stomach
The corpse will rise and float
The victim is discovered dead
Rotting organs bloat

The killer chops the body
With a scalpel and an ax
The parts are then drained
And put into the sacks

Chunks of a skull
Sawn in half bones
Body is found
Killer unknown

[siva_chair]

Circumcisionstances.

I think I saw some of those when I visited Washington DC a few years ago.

They were holding signs and talking about how painful circumcision is.

That night I saw a dead/passed out drunk Jew on a bench next to a frat house. I chuckled to myself then gave a black bum a cigarette. True story.

[totah]

Lol, circumcision is infant genital mutilation, most of the time. Not for those who do it later on, but if you have the guts to do it later on you're probably one of those guys who's into infant genital mutilation.

You can restretch your foreskin though, with special weights.

[Hababi]

I disagree.

Ok, well what's an example of someone writing a great piece of literature in a second language? The only one I can think of is Heart of Darkness, and that's a more sparse, personal tale.

A fiction writer is always most comfortable with their native language, and a huge part of writing fiction is getting the rythm and the flow down pat. That's hard to do in a second or third language.

Lord Jim isn't... It's really a technical exercise in quotation marks,

[Hababi]

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

That's partially applicable, because he was exposed to English at a every young age.

[Der Übermensch]

Nabokov. My English teacher will tell you he's the greatest writer ever.

[dei]

Is he?

[gregulus]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/thekatieway/wat.jpg

[Der Übermensch]

Is he?


Beat mes. I only have read one short story of his. His writing is quite grandiose, but I don't have enough experience to make a larger assessment.

Just pointing one of the most revered writers in English was born speaking Russian. (and he was hardcore... he wrote most of his books twice.... once in both languages)

[Hababi]

Nabokov could read and write English before he could Russian.

[Der Übermensch]

Yeah, but Russian was his first spoken.

We had to read a mini-bio on the guy.

Like I said, my teacher was obsessed with him...

[Hababi]

Yeah, but Russian was his first spoken.

We had to read a mini-bio on the guy.

Like I said, my teacher was obsessed with him...

It's still hugely different from someone who is basically unfamiliar with a language during their formative years. He was raised bilingual, as was Abukwe.

[Der Übermensch]

It's still hugely different from someone who is basically unfamiliar with a language during their formative years. He was raised bilingual, as was Abukwe.

Well even if you discount him, we still have Conrad, who was a literary powerhouse, and Rand, who I think sparked this whole discussion in the first place.

[Hababi]

Well even if you discount him, we still have Conrad, who was a literary powerhouse, and Rand, who I think sparked this whole discussion in the first place.

yeah, Conrad is the one that jumps to mind but he's one of the VERY few who wrote in a second language.

[Der Übermensch]

Well, he's one of the few who was GOOD at it.

[Tyr]

André Brink, but it's more or less the same as with the others, since he's South African.

[Der Übermensch]

I assume he's Afrikaner?

[Tyr]

Yes. He writes his books simultaneously in Afrikaans and English. If I remember correctly, he's professor of English at the University of Cape Town.

[Der Übermensch]

Not much on him in wiki, don't say if he was raised multi, or learned English later.

[totah]

That's partially applicable, because he was exposed to English at a every young age.

So was I, but English is still my second language.

True, but case is still a good way to describe how a word is being used under any grammar.

True, but case is still a good way to describe how a word is being used under any grammar.Yes:)

[totah]

What about upper case and lower case?

[1338 h4x0r]

Not the same.

Arabic doesn't have upper or lowercase. I don't know about that dog Arabic that Totah speaks though.

[Iskandar]

Famous Algerian folk song. Maybe the dialect is throwing you off.North African Arabic is gobbledygook to me. The dialects of the Arabian Peninsula are much closer to Classical Arabic, and so easier for me to understand.

[Hababi]

See that's why it's better to learn a different language that isn't so significantly different in dialects.

[Iskandar]

See that's why it's better to learn a different language that isn't so significantly different in dialects.Not really because I have no interest in North Africa, only in Arabia itself.

And Chinese is no different.

[Der Übermensch]

English doesn't have cases.

Yeah, but I passed the grammar stuff in Junior English because I thought of everything in terms of Latin. It helps.

[Iskandar]

Yeah, but I passed the grammar stuff in Junior English because I thought of everything in terms of Latin. It helps.Eww, I hate Latin.

[Der Übermensch]

I dropped it after two years, but it did wonders for my technical understanding of English.

[Iskandar]

I guess learning any language will do that. I just hate when English teachers talk as if English is descended from Latin and Latin's grammar rules are applicable to English.

[totah]

I studied Levant Arabic direct from a Lebanese Catholic lady, and specifically Palestinian usage.

So if I'm in the villages I'll say "Qadesh hada?" but in the cities "Adesh hada?"

No, it means "How much is this?"

[dei]

Spanish and Latin are the same thing.

[Iskandar]

Spanish and Latin are the same thing.Actually they're very different. Though a better comparison might be English and Icelandic.

[dei]

What politician said he wanted to learn Latin so he could communicate with his Latino friends? I can't remember his name or even where he's from.

[Iskandar]

He's stupid so I'm guessing Republican.

I would guess Dan Quayle... he is kind of the go to for 'omg idiot' comments...

How does steve deal with the fact that for the vast majority of its life the church was totally antisemitic again?

I can't work it out and this thread's all "ask questions"

[Hababi]

for almost half of its existence, America had slavery. That doesn't mean that I don't like America.

[totah]

But that was more than a century ago, doing which the whole world underwent social upheaval, reform and revolution on a massive scale. The church was anti-semetic only seventy years ago, and apart from the usual change in bureaucrats (popes, cardinals, etc) has shown little sign of fundamental change. The current pope was in the Hitler Youth for God's sake! It's totally different to slavery.

We have to stop spamming this thread. We should have an Ad Hominem thread where we can call each other out on things.

[totah]

What politician said he wanted to learn Latin so he could communicate with his Latino friends? I can't remember his name or even where he's from.

Boris Johnson?

I'm hard for you baby.

[Iskandar]

I thought Pope Benedict was only in the Hitler Youth because he was forced to.

[Hababi]

yes and he still abandoned it.

[Iskandar]

Can you not use my name? :p

The current pope was in the Hitler Youth for God's sake!

As was every German youth at that time whose parents didn't want to be sent to a political corrections camp.

Politics is the bastard child of philosophy. It is time for both to go now along with religion so that humans may return to their natural state of freedom and prosper.

I schedule classes for Penn State this weekend, I think I'm going to take some Spanish. I took 4 years of it in high school but most of my teachers sucked. I would say I'm at a level of perhaps a Spanish II in college.

Penn State Erie (or Behrend or what have you). I plan on transferring to Main sooner than later, although apparently the majority of people who have went to Erie claim it was their favorite campus or that they liked it enough to keep them from transferring. We'll see about that though, I liked the environment at Main when I visited.

[The AntiPhilosopher]

Actually politics is the highest philosophical endeavor according to Plato.

Plato has enslaved humanity for far too long with his philosophical poisons. Like Plato, Philosophy is dead; just like Norman Bates who killed his mother but kept her corpse to talk to, so it is with philosophers. It is time to acknowledge that philosophy is dead and should be buried now.

[Der Übermensch]

Wittgenstein's philosophy is heavily rooted in formal logic. You look pretty silly.

[Der Übermensch]

Well, I have a treat for everyone!
VF has been IM'n me for a few days. He started off as, I think, being for the most part sincere. He certainly hasn't had an easy life, and I really did want to give him some good advice on stuff and help. Of course he soon reverted back to the racist homophobe we all know, and I soon grew tired of it and any empathy I had disappeared. For a moment I had a slight glimmer of hope that, outside the forum environment, I could actually get through to him and help, but alas, he was soon back to calling me a faggot for thinking the Catholic faith is Christian in nature. So, I decided **** him. I tried to listen to him, least he could have done was try to be objective for 5 minutes.
So now I present the highlights of the convo's. There has been minimal editing, mostly just taking out stuff that was boring/unfunny, as well as some stuff that was just wtf... he likes to ask random, lewd questions out of the blue.

VF:so i've seen my sister's vagina
that's about it

Me:um....

VF wasn't all that bad either

VF: oh and my sister is 5'2'' i would have did her if we were only cousins or something

Me: um.....

VF: incest is the best!

Me:....I'm going to remember this next time you start harping about Jesus

VF: not with immediate family no
but maybe distant cousins
like 2nd or 3rd cousins i guess
is okay

Me: "my sister is 5'2'' i would have did her i"

VF: yeah if she was my cousin
you liberals take everything out of context

Me: like that drasticly improves the phrase?

VF:actually i have a third cousin i was going to try and have sex with on the Fourth, but unfortunately she was not there



-----------

VF: you know i live alone right?

M:i assumed as much

10:10 PM
VF:it sucks being alone everyday
i rarely see anyone
it is so lonely in here
but i make due
i post on mx and get on AIM as much as possible to burn time

Me:yeah
should get a roomie.

VF:no i've had too many people try to kill me
it is too big of a risk
remember i am VF
people hate me on Sputnik
but I have legitimate concerns in real life
it is an ongoing thing
i think it is Satan trying to destroy me, but he failes everytime

Me:they have meds to help with that...

VF:no
i have literally had people try to kill me
and it does not work to well for ones self-esteem
in fact there are people now who would love to get their hands on me
at least 4 i can think of
it is too bad really
you can't trust anyone these days
but do you really find it hard to believe someone would want to kill VF?
10:15 PM

Me: kind of

VF: you won't believe this
but i actually prophesied that a man was sent to kill me

Me:I mean, I once had someone try to kill me too, but serial attempts on ones life are a bit to much hollywood

VF:and my prophecy came to pass
but i don't expect you to believe that
i might be exaggerating a little bit
but i have almost been raped multiple times
murdered multiple times
tell me there isn't a Satan out there who hates me that is causing these things to happen?

Me:i think you might be trying to see things where there aren't

VF: so you would say a child molester taking me over an hour from home and sharing a hotel room with me did not somehow indicate he was trying to rape me and/or sell me into slavery?
you think i would make that up?
do you think a guy who was spying on me when i lived in my car and finally confronted and asked if he could suck my dick didn't imply that this was a twisted **** who had nothing better to do?
10:20 PM

Me: well, that is certainly a bit outlandish to take at face value.... why did you go with him in the frst place?

VF: i needed the money
the job paid well
and we were sleeping in seperate beds
but something whispered to me and said "get out"
i left
and later found out he was a child molester

Me: that certainly is whack

VF: you want proof?

Me: but really, thats just the kind of situation to avoid in the first place

VF: look who it is
mr. child molester
https://records.txdps.state.tx.us/DPS_WEB/Sor/index.aspx?PageIndex=Display&SID=07473358
risk level ~ moderate
i trusted this man with my life and he betrayed me
yeah i rode to dallas with him

Me: lets be technical there, he didn't betray you.... you left before you could find out if that was his intention
(not that it would be fun to find out....)

VF: i know he has a history of child molestation, though it may be consensual
it is still rape
i would not have consented and he would have inevitably forced me to have sex with him

Me:to play devils advocate, thats mere conjecture

VF:well i also had the benefit of knowing the guy
10:25 PM
i know what kind of person he is and he is sick and demented
i don't believe there is anything he is not capable of
oh and he has mafia conenctions so i wouldn't underestimate this guy

-----------
VF: so if i told my counselor at school i had "feelings" not to sound gay, for her, and she said if she did anything like that she would get fired, what do you think?
not saying that happened just hypothetically speaking
----------
anyway so my counselor was like talking to me and she said, "I live alone." i was like "yeah" she says "yeah it is lonely sometimes" or whatever she said
i don't remember
i really wanted to give her children
well she was like 30 and i was 19 so it was bad timing i guess
----
and she's like a genius to and very tolerant
her tolerance and knowledge was what was so fascinating about her
and she was a bitch to i loved that part
i would make these racial jokes around her and she would go off about how prejudiced i was and racist and everything and how she was so liberal and tolerant
it was awesome
11:10 PM
she made me feel like dirt
i loved it!
and then i was like man i want to do this bitch and get her pregnant
but she was like "naw, i'll get fired"

Me: lol

VF: yeah it sucked
i cried for 45 minutes almost
while listening to NSYNC
that was a weird day
i was completely devastated
---
she really hurt me though
i wanted her to be the mother of my children

this girl haunted my dreams
i hardly got any sleep for like 2 years or something
i would go to sleep and she would appear to me

i'm dead serious
i thought about her no less than every 5 minutes

-------------
VF: Das can i ask you something?
you big man with the hairy chest

Me: ok

VF: so i was living in my car right?

Me: yeah

VF: and i would be parked behind the grocery store

Me: ok

VF: and this little mexican girl would come outside and sit in her car and always bring a guy out to sit on the ground and talk to her
12:00 AM
now i could see her off in the distance and as i was really depressed and lonely at the time, i promised myself i would have a place to call home, and when i was ready, i would have her as a guest
then i got banned from the store
i thought i would never see her again
this little mexican girl
and then a few months later, one day at church, i saw her!
this must have been 5 months ago
i feel like i am powerless without her
i don't know what i am trying to say
i don't really like her i just think she is pretty and i want to be her friend
but i talked to her one day at church and made myself look like the biggest idiot

Me: then next time you see her, go introduce yourself
(just dont sound stalkerish)

VF: and then she was like "i have to go..."
"sorry"
and then i was like damn!
and i haven't spoken to her since
that was in march
i think i already might have let on more than i should have
girls just sense these things
but anyway here's the deal
next sunday at church there is a social thing, a barbecue, for college students, i think she is going to be there
i have no idea what to say and i will probably look like an idiot
what do i do!
12:05 AM

Me: go, introduce urself... be Confident but DO NOT IN ANY WAY come onto her

VF: she already knows me
and i know her to
too
we have talked a few times in the past
but girls just sense things, like a sixth sense
its like they have radar

Me: then just make small talk

VF: "yep he's interested, run for your life!"
i have a birthday coming up
i will be 20
i would really like to get to know her before then and spend some time with her in August
that would be the best birthday present ever
but i don't want to sound like an idiot
and you know that's what i do best
i have been around guys to much
everyone thinks i'm gay
i just want to prove to everyone i'm not gay!

Me: selfdoubt will kill u

12:10 AM
VF:i just think it would be refreshing to talk to a girl for a chnage
i have been a big fan of sausage fests in the past
you know just guys drinking and ****
but now i'm like, damn everyone thinks i'm gay
i better do something

Me: ja

VF: quick too
what if i say something like "who's your boyfriend?
then she'll be like "collin"
and i'll say "oh that guy who crashed into my car?"
that would be awesome
what do you think?

Me:"whos ur bf" sounds like "r u single *wink* *wink*"

VF: yeah i know
it was a joke
but no seriously i always saw her with this guy who crashed into my car
and then it was like she was with a different guy everyday
i saw her
i call her angel
12:15 AM

Me: dont get to attatched man...

VF: i'm not

Me:if it dont work, thatll suck

VF: yah if she totally doesn't buy into my bullshit im going to find a new church
i am not going to sit in that church ever again and be forced to stare at her the entire hour
and then pretend like she's invisible when i leave
that is too much torture for me

Me: see above
...ur attached...

[Der Übermensch]

VF: no i'm not
it's her skin i'm attached too
something about darker girls just is incredible
she's mexican
maybe i should just tell her i want to bang your brains out
hahahahahahhahahah
no but really
12:20 AM

Me: worth a last ditch effort?

VF: see that's the thing though
chicks think guys are all about sex
i just want to spend quality time with her
get to know her as a person
i want to know her middle name
where she was born
her parent
s
her life as a little girl
things that affect her
and her life
i want to know everything
i am a firm believer in waiting until marriage
unless an offer comes up you just can't refuse
like with your really hot cousin
but otherwise, i want to save intimacy for marriage
i don't want to knock someone up and have to pay child support and have to go through AIDS and everything else
i want to know i can trust the person, but she just thinks i am a sexual maniac


Me:remember... confidence is *everything*
12:25 AM
VF: well she her boobs aren't that big
maybe she has low self-esteem and will go for whatever she can find
and she is short
so at least i have that going for me

VF: dont think that way...

VF: what way?
what way?

Me: "maybe she has low self-esteem and will go for whatever she can find"

VF: no but really i saw the most adorable thing
when she sits in church with her mom
i guess she is tired or something so she lays on her mom's shoulder and finds rest in her arms

Me: ur idolizing her...

VF: no i just think it's cute
i dont know many girls that age who will lay all over their mom like that in public
it's kind of sweet actually
12:30 AM
Me: now ur rationalizing

VF: isn't that the sweetest thing though?

hahaha
i bet she wouldn't like it if she knew i called her the little mexican girl

Me: well u know her name?

VF: for one little people don't like being called little
yes i know her name
then she would probably think i'm racist for calling her mexican
but little mexican is the norm
most mexicans ar elittle people

At This Point, VF goes back behind the facade we all know.
[Following talk about Crime rate and city dangers, that devolved into me saying DC gangs could, man for man, beat any other city gang]

VF: well i'd bet on texas and the reason i hate these arguments is because neither one of us can know for sure
but in any case the mafia would beat both
we can agree on that

Me: no
mafia has fallen in power since the 70's
more mob guys are probably informers then there are actual made men these days

VF: you are impossibele
impossible
mafia beats gangs because blacks beat whites
err i mean white beats black
i wish i could take that back now

or Meatus in Cletus
oe Weiner in Peter
or Schlong in Hong Kong

Me: ...thats kind gay...

VF: Schlong in Wong
i think i'll settle on this one
Me: sounds like you are gay for chinamen....
what do you think about Meatus in Cletus?
meatus is my new word
i try to learn a new word everyday

VF: that one sounds like you are gay for west virginia inbreds

certainly not gay though

it is a peckertip

VF: how am i racist?
you cannot prove this assertion, it is based in lies
Me:one sec
VF: rooted in non factual evidence
Me:you "err i mean white beats black"
"i wish i could take that back now"
VF: so whites do beat blacks that does not prove your baseless allegation
12:20 AM
Me: what about your own baseless allegation?
VF: which one is that?
Me: that whites beat blacks
please go on...
VF: well we kept them enslaved for 300 years
i'd say we beat them pretty good
heh heh heh heh
with a whip! kikaw!
see i proved it
now prove your assertion
Me: what assertion?
VF: that i am a racist and homophobe
you have no proof
if you do please show me
Me: "so whites do beat blacks that does not prove your baseless allegation

well we kept them enslaved for 300 years
i'd say we beat them pretty good
heh heh heh heh
with a whip! kikaw!
see i proved it"
VF: nothing racist at all about that
merely stating the obvious
12:25 AM
Me: does it please you to believe you are merely stating the obvious?
VF: yes of course
Me: are you sure?
VF: i am merely stating fact
we did beat them and we beat them for many years
see point proven
now make your point
VF: what about your own point?
12:30 AM
i proved my point
now it is time for you to man up and prove yours
Me: Oh... man up and prove yours
VF: i just did
blacks were beaten by whites for 300 years
Me: can you elaborate on that?
VF: no
it is a known fact that whites beat blacks
Me: ...a bit negative...
VF: no elaboration needed
now let's talk about something more serious

The Grand Finale
------------------
Following a long "talk" about the catholic church, which he thinks isn't Christian, I asked him to explain the problem of evil, a very basic tenant of Christian thought. He refused and asked me to tell him who "corrie ten boom" is. I say 'who the heck is she, she isn't as important as Augustine, so what's your point? quid pro quo. don't avoid my question', and start ignoring him to tell this wonderful little story that I think should be shared with everyone.

VF.did the Catholic church tell you they were the beast of Revelation 17?
Me.no, but a drugged out bum on the street did once
but anyways, his name is james and he's from texas too, or it might have been arizona, and he is convinced that Jesus is talking to him through the lyrics of bob dylan
VF.well that is awfully hard to believe
Me.and Jesus gave him a task to preach the word
so now he hangs in a park near our dorm working on this HUUUUUUUUGE poster
and it's covered in all kinds of anti-catholic slogans
and also anti-country singers
cause country singers are in league with the catholic church
VF.you are ****ing full of ****
Me. and faith hill is the whore of bablyon
i am 100% serious
my roommate did a documentary on him
2:40 AM
has gone offline.
is now online.
he must have 20 hours of footage on him just rambling incoherently
it is HILARIOUS
VF.just admit you have no understanding of evangelist
corrie ten boom
Me.but anyways, once the ratzinger came to the US and kidnapped him and warned him to stop doing what he was doing or his life would be in danger
VF.what about darbyism?
Me.and he didn't listen, so they stol his girlfriend and took her away from him and keep her locked up in some super secret government lab
VF.do you have even a basic knowledge of darby and premillenialism
Me.and to protest, when he finishes his poster, he'll take it to the white house and unfurl it untill bush intercedes for him and rescues her
and yes, I have
and where is your explanation of evil according to augustine?
I win if you can't offer one of the fundemental principals of christianity as a whole
VF.or have "one"
or have you "One"
m.but anyways, back to James
VF.shut the **** up faggot
Me.he's a really cool guy despite his myriad of mental illness
VF.i don't care about james
Me.he has funny hair that he wears under a cap, and it sticks out to make it look like cocker spaniel ears
VF.and he has a well worn KJV in his pocket that he writes out bible codes in
you have no understnading of doctrine
Me.but they aren't just any bible codes
VF.and you have failed to demonstrate how you do?
have you not?
Me.they are elaborate combinations of verse/chapter with dylan lyrics, that prove how he is right
2:45 AM
and the moral of this story is, you remind me of him, and I think thats where' you'll be in 30 years


And there you have it. Baiting trolls is only fun for so long, and I was tired of his ****, so I blocked him shortly afterwards.

ubermensch; 10k characters of that was enough for anyone

I thought that's what philosophy was?

But the Tractactus wasn't what I was talking about

Small minds think such small thoughts. Amuse yourself. Read the Tracatus and then read the Philosophical Investigations and then we can discuss the death of philosophy and the man who killed it.

Yeah I blocked him after maybe 3k characters worth.

Anyway though I don't subscribe to the notion that VF is a serious poster. He's just a gimmick.

[Dr Hooch]

A lot of people say that about you :P

[Hababi]

People who don't know me well :o

[The AntiPhilosopher]

You are enslaved to the ideologues of whoremongerers who tell you that you are free but that is the biggest of all lies. From childhood you have been taught virtues which are not virtues at all. You are what you have been taught and like a good slave you obey your masters and you are promised rewards for your obedience after death. You are a good slave to obey your master without question. Great will be your reward after you are dead. But what a pity that you will not be alive anymore to enjoy it.

[Der Übermensch]

Yeah I blocked him after maybe 3k characters worth.
Heh, I don't blame you. It was 4 AM and I was bored silly :p


Anyway though I don't subscribe to the notion that VF is a serious poster. He's just a gimmick.

I hope so....

[dei]

I'm happy he doesn't have my screen name.

[McP3000]

I've officially decided VF is a gimmick. Thank you Der Uber though.

[gregulus]

Nothing like waking up and reading AIM conversations with VF while drinking coffee and eating Cherios.
