[Iskandar]

You're not really a liberal, are you? I don't get that impression.

[Iscariot]

i have mixed views tbh

i'm economically liberal and socially conservative so idk what that makes me.. a moderate? although while i claim to be socially conservative i have at one point been a member of the american communist party and an activist against the republican regime so idk i'm all mixed up

[Dave de Sylvia]

i'm economically liberal and socially conservative so idk what that makes me..
Wrong!

[Smokey D]

You're pretty much a standard moderate Republican from what I can tell.

[Iskandar]

I see everyone's up early. Or late, as the case may be.

[Smokey D]

It's 9pm here. That might be past your bedtime, I dunno.

[Iscariot]

You're pretty much a standard moderate Republican from what I can tell.

except i'm a registered democrat and have a strong dislike for the republican party so that doesn't pan out

[Iskandar]

It's 9pm here. That might be past your bedtime, I dunno.Actually I'm a functional insomniac and it's five in the morning here, which is usual for me.

[Smokey D]

except i'm a registered democrat and have a strong dislike for the republican party so that doesn't pan out

So what? It's not my fault you signed up with the wrong party.

Actually I'm a functional insomniac and it's five in the morning here, which is usual for me.

Lol.

[Dave de Sylvia]

It's 9pm here.
You should be in bed.

[Iskandar]

Lol.Why do you mock me so? Is it because I'm not a member of the neo-liberal elite?

[Iscariot]

So what? It's not my fault you signed up with the wrong party.

except i didn't

i'm not at all a republican

you wouldn't get it though you're foreign and ignorant to the realities of american politics

[Smokey D]

Why do you mock me so? Is it because I'm not a member of the neo-liberal elite?

I don't need to mock you for that. Staying up til 5 in the morning on a regular basis is plenty funny.

You should be in bed.

Getting pretty sleepy, must admit.

except i didn't

i'm not at all a republican

you wouldn't get it though you're foreign and ignorant to the realities of american politicsp.

You're probably not a neocon but it's pretty clear to me you're centre right on virtually every issue.

[Iskandar]

The reality of American politics is that they suck!
I don't need to mock you for that. Staying up til 5 in the morning on a regular basis is plenty funny.Sleep deprivation amuses you?

[Dave de Sylvia]

The Republican party generally supports socially conservative and economically centrist positions. Based on your description, you could go either way depending on what issues you place most importance on.

[totah]

Hey all,
Quick question: Does anyone here live in Amsterdam and if you do do you have crash space for one night? This whole city is full of travellers these days for some reason. End of summer I guess, everyone comes for a fix to hold them through the winter.

[Iskandar]

No, economically right-wing.

[Iscariot]

The reality of American politics is that they suck!
Sleep deprivation amuses you?

truth!

The Republican party generally supports socially conservative and economically centrist positions. Based on your description, you could go either way depending on what issues you place most importance on.

i won't argue that i can indeed go either way it really depends on the situation i'm presented with

however saying that i "joined the wrong party" is pretty goddamn stupid since the majority of my time is spent opposing the republican party

[siva_chair]

guns are for pussies real men knife fight

I've got a lot of those too.

Just recently got a sweet Ka Bar D2 Impact.

What are the guns for, then?

Collecting, target shooting, self-defense, hobby.

i own a gun am i am a liberal and i am quite comfortable with the size of my penis explain that one

i just really honestly enjoy the activity of shooting a firearm

also i'm trained to be proficient in their use and enjoy maintaining my skills so in the event that some unlikely combat scenario occurs i won't be the guy who spent 20 years laughing at people who own firearms and then gets shot in the face

Bolded part is really true.


I stay up all night because I work at night. Does that count?

[Dave de Sylvia]

No, economically right-wing.
Right-wing compared to you. Centrist compared to Americans. And pretty much the entire western world, really.

[Iskandar]

Right-wing compared to you. Centrist compared to Americans. And pretty much the entire western world, really.No, right-wing compared to Americans and the entire western world.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Occasionally right-wing, occasionally left-wing, usually populist.

[Iskandar]

Occasionally right-wing, occasionally left-wing, usually populist.No, you're wrong. That's more like what the Democrats do.

[Dave de Sylvia]

They're both broadly similar. The US government has expanded considerably under the modern Republican party and it can't all be attribute to the war on terror.

[Smokey D]

however saying that i "joined the wrong party" is pretty goddamn stupid since the majority of my time is spent opposing the republican party

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen

Sleep deprivation amuses you

My name is Tyler Durden.

[Iskandar]

They're both broadly similar. The US government has expanded considerably under the modern Republican party and it can't all be attribute to the war on terror.It's not really about big vs. small government anymore, if it ever was.

[Smokey D]

Lots of political decisions/affiliations are issue based not class based these days. So faith based education becomes more important than (or at least as important as) whether the government is going to provide jobs for poor people.

[Dave de Sylvia]

It's not really about big vs. small government anymore, if it ever was.
So what is it about?

[Smokey D]

Issues. Stupid ****ing identity politics.

[Iskandar]

So what is it about?www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics

[Dave de Sylvia]

But we were talking about economics. That's why you quoted me :confused:

[siva_chair]

Issues. Stupid ****ing identity politics.

Stupid ****ing politics.

[Smokey D]

www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politicsDon't do that. What is called left-wing and what is called right-wing is a decision made after the fact.

There are strong left-wing objections to free trade and immigration (usually based around labour politics of unions) and there are strong objections coming from the right wing, like Pat Buchanan and paleoconservatism.

Stupid ****ing politics.

Politics is awesome. What are you talking about.

[Iskandar]

Not everything can be neatly defined as right or left, of course.

[siva_chair]

Politics is awesome. What are you talking about.

I'm talking about politics being ****ing stupid I thought that was obvious.

[Iskandar]

Politics is better in a country with a real multi-party system.

[siva_chair]

Lol like Canada really matters.

And I was talking about all politics. They all suck and I wish we didn't need them. If everyone were perfect.....

[Smokey D]

I'm talking about politics being ****ing stupid I thought that was obvious.

Politics is awesome. Politicians from time to time can be spatulas.



And I was talking about all politics. They all suck and I wish we didn't need them. If everyone were perfect.....

Nah. Politics is about the distribution of power. Understanding the how and whys of that is crucial and unavoidable. Plus it's interesting.

Not everything can be neatly defined as right or left, of course.

Both parties in the US have elements who go left and right and up and down on so many issues it's usually not very helpful to think of them as 'left' or 'right' except in a vague sense.

[Yogert]

i am apolitical

[siva_chair]

Politics is awesome. Politicians from time to time can be spatulas.

Of course but politics still suck.

They are a neccessary evil of course but they still suck.

[siva_chair]

Nah. Politics is about the distribution of power. Understanding the how and whys of that is crucial and unavoidable. Plus it's interesting.

It is only interesting because it brings the lulz, tbh.

Other than that they suck because they are a neccessary evil.

[Smokey D]

Of course but politics still suck.

They are a neccessary evil of course but they still suck.

I don't think they suck. they are the most interesting and elementary of all human relationships.

Even if you got rid of government there'd still be politics.

[Iskandar]

Would politics be better if there was a successful libertarian party?

[Yogert]

politics sucks because people suck

[siva_chair]

I don't think they suck. they are the most interesting and elementary of all human relationships.

Even if you got rid of government there'd still be politics.

Ok Mr. let's use some silly vague and broad definition of the word politics. :p

If all human beings were perfect there would be no need for politics because there would be no conflicting interrelationships.

[Smokey D]

Okay but that doesn't happen.

Ok Mr. let's use some silly vague and broad definition of the word politics.

Politics is power. I can't think of anything more fundamental to the concept.

[totah]

I thought knowledge was power. I'm confuzzled.

[Yogert]

power of what

[siva_chair]

Okay but that doesn't happen.

Thus why I said it was a neccessary evil....

Politics is power. I can't think of anything more fundamental to the concept.

Popular usage, however, suggests a much narrower domain for politics.

[Yogert]

I thought knowledge was power. I'm confuzzled.

knowledge is not power either

[Smokey D]

Popular usage, however, suggests a much narrower domain for politics.

Well, yeah politics comes from polis meaning (city)state. But we shouldn't rely on strict etymological definitions. Clearly the underlying concern of politics is power, and hence all relationships where there is some power differential are political ones.

[Yogert]

i think smokey is blowing smoke up our asses

[Smokey D]

Nah. I exaggerate a little bit. The act of theft or rape is not (usually) a political act although there is a clear power differential. But in any case where there is a relationship of authority there is politics.

[Yogert]

authority has power
politics is like leverage to get you up the ladder

[siva_chair]

Well, yeah politics comes from polis meaning (city)state. But we shouldn't rely on strict etymological definitions. Clearly the underlying concern of politics is power, and hence all relationships where there is some power differential are political ones.

Sure but we shouldn't rely on really vague and broad definitions either. ;)

Once again, if humans were perfect there wouldn't be a need for one to assert any sort of authority of power. That is why I said it is a neccessary evil. Neccessary evils still suck, much like the actual job of garbage man would suck but it is still neccessary. :thumb:

[Smokey D]

Sure but we shouldn't rely on really vague and broad definitions either.

Well it wasn't really a definition as much as slogan.

Once again, if humans were perfect there wouldn't be a need for one to assert any sort of authority of power. That is why I said it is a neccessary evil. Neccessary evils still suck, much like the actual job of garbage man would suck but it is still neccessary.

I disagree. Power exists in all relationships and is inevitable. Even if all people who had power or authority exercised it duly and justly you would still have competing interests and conceptions of what is right and good etc which would give rise to politics.

And the idea that all humans could be perfect is a pretty pointless question since humans can't be perfect and we have to understand how humans work as it is the case.

[siva_chair]

Well it wasn't really a definition as much as slogan.

So was "Politics sucks."

I disagree. Power exists in all relationships and is inevitable. Even if all people who had power or authority exercised it duly and justly you would still have competing interests and conceptions of what is right and good etc which would give rise to politics.

If those things existed then human beings wouldn't be perfect. :p

And the idea that all humans could be perfect is a pretty pointless question since humans can't be perfect and we have to understand how humans work as it is the case.

Well duh the issue wasn't can human beings be perfect it was if human beings were perfect then politics would be unneccessary. Also a slogan.

[Smokey D]

So was "Politics sucks."


Yeah well you're slogan was wrong whereas my slogan was just incomplete.

If those things existed then human beings wouldn't be perfect.

I disagree.


Well duh the issue wasn't can human beings be perfect it was if human beings were perfect then politics would be unneccessary. Also a slogan.

I disagree.

[siva_chair]

Yeah well you're slogan was wrong whereas my slogan was just incomplete.

No it isn't wrong.

I disagree.

Ok then you are wrong. :thumb:

I disagree.

It is quite clear my statement was an if, then statement not a question of could humans be perfect. The if, then statement may still hold true even if human beings cannot in reality be perfect.

[Smokey D]

It is quite clear my statement was an if, then statement not a question of could humans be perfect. The if, then statement may still hold true even if human beings cannot in reality be perfect.

I don't agree that humans being perfect whatever that means dispels the need or inevitability of power relationships.

[siva_chair]

I don't agree that humans being perfect whatever that means dispels the need or inevitability of power relationships.

Why would perfect humans need to assert authority of power?

[Smokey D]

Well if you mean that all humans were God and had perfect knowledge and capability but that's not what I understood. I thought you meant they were morally perfect.

[siva_chair]

Well if you mean that all humans were God and had perfect knowledge and capability but that's not what I understood. I thought you meant they were morally perfect.

Even if we were morally perfect, what need would there be to assert power of authority over another?

[Smokey D]

Even if we were morally perfect, what need would there be to assert power of authority over another?

We wouldn't impose authority but there still would be room for politics ie distribution of resources and stuff. Just because the state isn't acting doesn't mean there isn't implicit power underlying the situation.

[siva_chair]

We wouldn't impose authority but there still would be room for politics ie distribution of resources and stuff. Just because the state isn't acting doesn't mean there isn't implicit power underlying the situation.

If humans were perfect they would agree on the means to distribution, so I don't think that is really fair to call that politics....

[mph4ever]

just reading this, its the failure of humans to be perfect that denies anarchy its place

[Dave de Sylvia]

No it's the failure of anarchy to not be stupid that denies it it's place

[Dr Hooch]

you wouldn't get it though you're foreign and ignorant to the realities of american politics

"the reality is they're totally pointless"

No it's the failure of anarchy to not be stupid that denies it it's place

I'd like to watch you try to justify this statement

"how is anarchy a stupid idea compared to democracy"

[Reaganista]

o **** i dont have a stapler o ****

[Amit]

i was unpacking some **** from my moving boxes and i found a stapler u want it???

No it's the failure of anarchy to not be stupid that denies it it's place

lol yea

[Reaganista]

i was unpacking some **** from my moving boxes and i found a stapler u want it???
can u get it to me within like 10 minutes of now

[Amit]

yea let me just wind up for my olympic stapler throw

[Reaganista]

ok.

[Iscariot]

i think my dick is chaffed from jerking off would rubbing tobasco sauce on it help this problem

??

[Der Übermensch]

I think that would just make it sting...

[Iscariot]

oooo that sounds kinky

i need a good movie to watch hmm someone make a recommendation

[Hababi]

Serenity.

If you've seen it, then the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

[Mr. Ron]

American gangster. Good movie but a bit dragged on.

[Iscariot]

i'm not at all interested in serenity or sci-fi movies in general

i might check out the jesse james one though i've been thinking about watching that for a while

and american gangster sort of interests me i've heard it's pretty sluggish though

[Reaganista]

american gangster is ****

[Smokey D]

"how is anarchy a stupid idea compared to democracy"

Because liberal democracy more or less works and anarchism is self defeating.



and american gangster sort of interests me i've heard it's pretty sluggish though

American gangster certainly wasn't as good as some other crime boss movies.

No Country is pretty neat. But if you didn't like There will be blood, maybe not.

[ringworm]

jared, if There Will Be Blood put you to sleep, I'll put money Jesse James will too

they had the same feel, lots of anticipation early but ultimately never delivering

[Reaganista]

there will be blood blood is awesome

[Iscariot]

i'm gonna watch iron man i haven't seen this yet and i need something fast paced today

[Mr. Ron]

Iron man was abominably terrible.

[Reaganista]

okokokokokok

[ringworm]

there will be blood blood is awesome

worst film i've seen this year

well, there was transformers too

i rate them about the same

[pppoe]

I liked There Will Be Blood.

[Mr. Ron]

transformers is yet another example of cinematic abortion.

[Amit]

ron you sound like a whole lot of fun at a movie theater

[Mr. Ron]

what?

Transformers was terrible

[ringworm]

the best movie i saw this year was The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang, and I dont think it was even made this year :)

what?

Transformers was terrible
123 infinity

I can sit through a shoot em up blow em up just like any other red blooded male
but Transformers was just too bad

heck, I couldnt even watch Shoot Em Up

300 was disapointing as well


give me more like The Kingdom, Collateral or Miami Vice

[Iscariot]

transformers was not terrible

and ron what exactly is your criteria for a good movie because some of the things you've reviewed with praise are so dry they make bea arthur's vagina look like the fountain of youth

and so far iron man is pretty good lots of humor at the start and it hasn't slowed down once

edit: oh god miami vice? if you ever watched the series you would know what a god awful abortion of a movie that is

you and ron fail miserably at watching good movies

[Reaganista]

i never seen ironman but i would prolly think it was good not great just going from wat i normally think about those movies
worst film i've seen this year

well, there was transformers too

i rate them about the same
transformers was pretty quality but there will be blood is a masterpiece

[Mr. Ron]

transformers was not terrible

and ron what exactly is your criteria for a good movie because some of the things you've reviewed with praise are so dry they make bea arthur's omnibus look like the fountain of youth

and so far iron man is pretty good lots of humor at the start and it hasn't slowed down once

edit: oh god miami vice? if you ever watched the series you would know what a god awful abortion of a movie that is

you and ron fail miserably at watching good movies

What was good about transformers?


I don't have a criteria. I don't see why I need one.

Ironman is just really bland and boring imo.

[ringworm]

edit: oh god miami vice? if you ever watched the series you would know what a god awful abortion of a movie that is

you and ron fail miserably at watching good movies

lol, ok :lol:

like i said dude, i love a good blow em up as much as the next guy, but to see optimus prime hiding in a kids backyard with his crew of superior robots acting like 2 year olds in a playground hiding from his parents, only for the final scene to consist of megatron being unable to smack a small teenager only feet away with a device that could enslave planet earth, then have that same kid simply put the cube near his chest and save the planet, was, well, just weak

you wanna talk about bad renditions, look at the cartoon vs the movie, 80's animation and voice overs was better than a billion dollar budgeted flop

miami vice was cool, the kingdom and collateral were better yes, but the feel that director gives is amazing

[Der Übermensch]

Well, they gave me a full refund on the gun and threw in a few boxes of 7.62 Soviet. So other then having to drive way to much today, turned out ok.

[Iscariot]

What was good about transformers?


I don't have a criteria. I don't see why I need one.

Ironman is just really bland and boring imo.

well i would say the entire experience but if your head is up your *** the entire time it's hard to see the good parts

lol, ok :lol:

now you're just being stupid

how is that god awful crap cartoon of the 80's better than a full cinematic experience with good acting a sexy co-star

[Reaganista]

What was good about transformers?

i am optimus prime
shia
transformers

ou wanna talk about bad renditions, look at the cartoon vs the movie, 80's animation and voice overs was better than a billion dollar budgeted flop
it wasnt a flop it was a huge huge sucess shia is a bankable star expect to see a lot of him

[Mr. Ron]

i am optimus prime
shia
transformers


it wasnt a flop it was a huge huge sucess shia is a bankable star expect to see a lot of him

All of those things would have been amazing if they were actually done right.


-Shia should be hung

-Sappy American love story was unnecessary

-Just too many corny and sophomoric parts to even begin with


well i would say the entire experience but if your head is up your *** the entire time it's hard to see the good parts



cute

[Reaganista]

the love story was cute and not overdone
shia is awesome in everything
wtf do you expect from an adapted kids show about trucks that turn into mechs and fight each other of course it's going to be sophomoric that's the point

also hugo weaving and john turturro are pure quality

[Mr. Ron]

[ringworm]

how is that god awful crap cartoon of the 80's better than a full cinematic experience with good acting a sexy co-star

oh, ok, i see what you're basing your ratings on now :lol:

dont forget, we both hated TWBB :)

i just hated Transformers, ok?
heck, I thought Shoot Em Up sucked balls

there is no elitism in my movie preference, but bad is just bad

and to say
now you're just being stupid
about the scene i described only furthers my point
it was about 20 mins of absolute nothing and only further diminished the quality of the film
if they would have boosted the pretty cool fight scenes, between the actual stars of the film, instead of wasting time with the absurd human plot lines with pistols and shotguns and trivial romantics, I may have enjoyed it more, or at least seen more of what most of us expected, Transformers
also hugo weaving and john turturro are pure quality
i know he's just trolling, but this is another complete waste of the films time

Sector 7

[Radiobass81]

Transformers was alright.

[pppoe]

how is that god awful crap cartoon of the 80's better than a full cinematic experience with good acting a sexy co-star

The cartoon was amazing, and that bitch is ugly.

[Mr. Ron]

Yeah the cartoon was great

[ringworm]

2 hi5's ^^^ :)

[spitfirejunky]

The dialogue and plot were absolutely awful, acting was mediocre, and the action scenes and effects were amazing.

I give it a 5/10.

[Reaganista]

im not trolling i never troll stop dismissing my correct opinions as trolling just because they challenge your ridiculous worldview where transformers isnt an incredibly successful movie and a fair benchmark against which to measure all others

[Smokey D]

There will be Blood is good.

Transformers was decent given the source material. It wasn't meant to be Citizen Kane. It was about giant space robots turning into trucks.

Shoot em Up, Miami Vice, 300 etc were terrible.

[metacognition]

I liked shoot 'em up. That was probably because I was laughing the whole time.

[Iscariot]

iron man was awesome ron why are you so horrifically gay that you couldn't enjoy this movie even a little

[Mr. Ron]

iron man was awesome ron why are you so horrifically gay that you couldn't enjoy this movie even a little

Well, it could be the fact that it sucked. Just a guess.

[siva_chair]

I enjoyed Iron Man and Transformers. They were entertaining movies. Sure, they weren't thought provoking masterpieces or anything like that, but they still were entertaining.

Or course, I enjoy most comic book movies so that is probably why I enjoyed them.

[McP3000]

didnt see iron man but transformers was fun to watch

though i dont plan on watching it again

[Dr Hooch]

the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

is the reason i didn't enjoy this because i was expecting a real western, or because it was blatantly too long, or because i hate nick cave?

[siva_chair]

Perhaps all of the above.

[Iscariot]

Well, it could be the fact that it sucked. Just a guess.

you suck not the movie

[mph4ever]

intermission - got it all

[Mr. Ron]

you suck not the movie

you're not even trying now

[ringworm]

There will be Blood is good.
i wish someone would tell me why, or at least try to explain the film

every debate i've gotten into with this film is nothing but someone saying, you're just dumb, it was good, they can't seem to go any further than that, which is why i feel most people that say they like it are just bandwagoning tbo, can you enlighten me? :)

sure, the first 20 or so mins, i was enticed, captivated etc, but it just went nowhere, then abruptly ends, well, i use abruptly loosely, it was abnormally long for the path and resulting content, or lack thereof

It was about giant space robots turning into trucks.
yeah, but only about 30 mins of the movie is directed at this, the other 90% is semi-hot chicks, hackers, absurd love stories and has-been government officials spouting B-movie grade dialoge, and of course Michael Bay's overuse of the slow-mo sweaty face pass by camera trying to be edgy style of film making :)

[Reaganista]

also 700 million dollars

every debate i've gotten into with this film is nothing but someone saying, you're just dumb, it was good, they can't seem to go any further than that, which is why i feel most people that say they like it are just bandwagoning tbo, can you enlighten me?
afterwards i said 'im glad i watched that'
that's why it was good

It's pretty much a love-or-hate film when it comes down to it. If you don't get into Daniel Day Lewis' character, you won't like it. If you do, and you start gaining bits and bits of hate, you'll get hooked. Apart from that, it's a technical masterpiece (acting, cinematography).

It's something like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. I don't like the movie (yeah yeah yeah), because I don't get to feel compassion for McMurphy, as I can never see him beyond just a crook (later read the book, it's in my top 10). I've got the same problem with The Assasination of Jesse James. I couldn't actually feel that much pitty to Pitt, because I still see him as a criminal, and getting into the character is pretty much the movie.

[Mr. Ron]

I can't see how anyone can't not like Daniel Day Lewis's character.

[metacognition]

I ♥ There Will Be Blood

[Iscariot]

there will be blood put me to sleep

it's not that i "didn't get it" or anything it just bored the life out of me

[metacognition]

I can see that, it relied more on dialogue than anything.

[Mr. Ron]

it did drag on a bit.

[Reaganista]

a bit awesome

[metacognition]

a bit awesome

this

[Mr. Ron]

a bit awesome

The ending scene was the best. Everyone in the theater clapped when that douche got his head caved in. Awesome.

[Reaganista]

I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.

[Mr. Ron]

\m/

[Reaganista]

I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight

[ringworm]

If you don't get into Daniel Day Lewis' character, you won't like it.
but i did until i realized it wasnt that much of a character
Apart from that, it's a technical masterpiece (acting, cinematography).
i dunno, i didnt see any award worthiness
I can't see how anyone can't not like Daniel Day Lewis's character.
i just dont see what was so interesting about it, and i am a fan of his, maybe i was just expecting too much?
I can see that, it relied more on dialogue than anything.
what little there was wasnt good though?
The ending scene was the best. Everyone in the theater clapped when that douche got his head caved in. Awesome.
and this scene was one of my main beefs, i couldnt believe that after all i watched and took in, this was how it ended, such a weak ending with no real importance


i dunno, im gonna quit harping on it, but my dislike for this film (and how so many act like its a masterpiece) is about as deep as my dislike of Toby on The Office, its on a personal level that many dont understand :)

[metacognition]

what little there was wasnt good though?

no, the whole movie was good. even the visually active scenes

[ringworm]

:lol:

my hatred for the film runs deep, we'll just have to disagree :)

im gonna quit assaulting it though


quick redirect
The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang was on TV again, anyone in here seen it?
man, what a cute little movie

[Bron-Yr-Aur]

i couldnt believe that after all i watched and took in, this was how it ended, such a weak ending with no real importance
that scene has hopefully legitimized the use of bowling pins as a bludgeoning tool for all of posterity

[stevensonmat2]

Perhaps one needs to see a bit of themselves in Plainview to really get sucked into the movie. I felt myself being pulled into Daniels madness, and I welcomed it(much like with the Joker in TDK).

As for the final scene, I took it as this: It merely represented Daniels total lack of compassion, his evilness. He stole and cheated and never felt bad for it. He drunk himself mad with wealth and power, and became reckless ambition incarnate.

There are various allegories and religious concepts I've considered, but I think this film was about simplicity, and said exactly what it meant too.

I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.

Now I know why I don't watch TV, ever.

[McP3000]

TV is dumb regardless of the news

[Iscariot]

now i know why i only read the news online and in the paper and never watch it on tv ever

[Iscariot]

i don't know what's worse, the video or the comments

[McP3000]

It was a very sad day about 4 years ago when i watched the news a couple of times and noticed how much celebrity gossip was discussed.
The ****ing 6 oclock news cared more about britney spears baby than the iraq war.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I care more about Britney's baby than the Iraq war. Because it's more interesting. Which is why it's on the news.

[gregulus]

joe scarborough: panties in a wad since '03.

[Mr. Ron]

Britney's baby isn't interesting at all.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Well it's like a toddler now, it's not even cute anymore, but at time it was like aww

[Mr. Ron]

all babies look the same


like blacks

[Dave de Sylvia]

no some are just fugly

[Mr. Ron]

Nah thats most blax

[Dr Hooch]

Now I know why I don't watch TV, ever.

anything on tv worth watching gets torrented.

he was giant prick, got butthurt about basically a throwaway comment, refused to let it die, picked a fight (and accused the other guy of picking a fight), wouldn't let anyone else try to change the subject, and basically lost his cool on national TV.

other than that yeah he did a good job.

[beso negro]

how could you not agree with Joe?

[Reaganista]

Britney's baby isn't interesting at all.

First day of classes went great. I like my professors so far. Except the kids I have classes with are terribly boring. We had to break up into groups to discuss group identification from a sociological perspective and I was the only one that was willing to talk.

I'm getting a pet rat. I need to start thinking of names.

[Amit]

my gf and i just got a pet cat

you should bring your future pet rat over for dinner >:]

[Mr. Ron]

I have a pet rock named Norbert :>

[Iskandar]

My cat was just walking around on the desk and I noticed that his breath does, in fact, smell like cat food.

[Mr. Ron]

Alex buy a dog.

[PerpetualBurn]

my gf and i just got a pet cat

you should bring your future pet rat over for dinner >:]

Cats are ****ing awesome.

[pppoe]

Cats are the worst.

[PerpetualBurn]

You're such a nonce.

[Iskandar]

Alex buy a dog.I'm sorry, but I've always hated dogs because my neighbours had three of them. Oh, and when we tried to own a dog it attacked my brother.

Cats are the purr-fect pet!

[ringworm]

ugh @ cats

i dont understand wanting a pet that leaps from its box of piss and turds straight onto your kitchen counter or couch

[Iskandar]

You may or may not have noticed how cats groom themselves incessantly, including right after using the litterbox. But hey, I guess you'd have to own one.

[ringworm]

uh, thats even more disgusting

btw, my wife owns a cat, so my displeasure of the disgusting animal is from experience :)

[Mr. Ron]

I'm sorry, but I've always hated dogs because my neighbours had three of them. Oh, and when we tried to own a dog it attacked my brother.

Cats are the purr-fect pet!

My dog is awesome. She sleeps and eats...and...sleeps...and um...yeah.



I like cats but I need that good ol' retarded child vigor dogs have. Its fun.

[PerpetualBurn]

I think I could probably take the title of MX Crazy Cat Man to be honest.

[Mr. Ron]

Do you own more than 6???

[ringworm]

that would explain everything tbo :)

[Mr. Ron]

My dog has some really annoying habits though. Whenever my family sits down for dinner its here queue to start barking non-stop until she realizes we are ignoring her or someone takes her outside.

[P13]

more than 6 cats is a requirement, as well as taking in stray cats when they come around

[Iskandar]

btw, my wife owns a cat, so my displeasure of the disgusting animal is from experience :)If you don't think an animal that shits all over your yard is disgusting, I guess that's your prerogative.

[Mr. Ron]

the back yard is no different than a litter box. Only bigger.

[Iskandar]

Only several hundred times bigger and it doesn't come with those neat little sorting trays. And I like to use my yard for other things that an animal's waste.

[ringworm]

the back yard is no different than a litter box. Only bigger.

and less comprised of items i frequently sit on and eat off of :)

[P13]

mmm.. cat fecal matter

[Iskandar]

Cats are known for their fastidious cleanliness. They groom themselves by licking their fur, employing their hooked papillae and saliva. As mentioned, their saliva is a powerful cleaning agent and deodorant. Many cats also enjoy grooming humans or other cats

[Mr. Ron]

Only several hundred times bigger and it doesn't come with those neat little sorting trays. And I like to use my yard for other things that an animal's waste.

[P13]

You bought 'em, you take care of 'em

[Iskandar]

I do take care of my cat. I feed him every day and let him outside periodically. He doesn't need to be brushed because he's a shorthair.

[ringworm]

Train your dog to clean the yard and stoop n' scoop first.;)
dogs like to go as far away from their area as possible

cats like to do it beside their food trays :lol:

[ringworm]

oh yeah, btw

Ron Paul is rocking on CSPAN right now :)

[pppoe]

I'm voting for Ron Paul in November.

[Iskandar]

dogs like to go as far away from their area as possible

cats like to do it beside their food trays :lol:My cat's food dish is in the kitchen and his litterbox is in the laundry room in the basement.That's as far apart as they can get in my house.

[Mr. Ron]

Whats your cat's name, Alex?

[Aaron]

I'm not sure what to declare as my majors for my degree. I'm doing double-majors, one being economics. What would you choose out of these:

management
finance
business law
e-business

[Iskandar]

Whats your cat's name, Alex?Miles.

[Mr. Ron]

Miles.

I like that name for a cat. Cat names I think are distinctly different from what you can name a dog.

[pppoe]

I'm not sure what to declare as my majors for my degree. I'm doing double-majors, one being economics. What would you choose out of these:

[Aaron]

It's my main choice so far. I already work in finance so I figure I don't need the major [finance] to get the foot in the door, and I already manage people so...

[ringworm]

none of those sound very exciting

but hey, look who you're talking to :)

[Smokey D]

Finance and economics is a pretty good degree.

Also, lol at you people who keep your cats indoors.

Also, lol at you people who let your dogs **** in your yard.

[Reaganista]

um in america it's both illegal and rude to have your dog **** in somebody else's yard idk about new Z land

[Smokey D]

Yeah, um, it's called a rubbish bag.

[Reaganista]

that's gross and about 1000times more effort than just putting the dog outside

[Smokey D]

Well if you want your garden full of dog crap maybe.

[Reaganista]

americans dont garden :confused:
and you can train the dog to go in the back of the yard or in some area you dont get much use of like behind the garage

[Smokey D]

Or get them to do it in the gutter or something like a normal person.

[Reaganista]

in the gutter wat like out on the street that's crazy they'll get hit by a car or bite somebody or some ****
none of this stuff youre talking about is 'normal' everyone in america has their dog **** in the back of the yard

[Smokey D]

Take them for walks.

[Reaganista]

that takes waaay too much effort nobody walks their dog on any kind of regular basis

[siva_chair]

Ahh the joy of living in the country where you can let your dog/cat go off and crap wherever it wants to with little concern.

[Reaganista]

except the wolves

[Dave de Sylvia]

Or get them to do it in the gutter or something like a normal person.
You **** in the gutter?

[siva_chair]

except the wolves

Well now you see why guns are awesome.

Wouldn't you shoot a wolf to protect your dog?

Wait why am I asking you that I don't really care.

[Reaganista]

ofc i'd shoot a ****ing person to protect my dog

[siva_chair]

Good to know.

[Iscariot]

my pit bull craps along the perimeter or our back yard and we don't have a garden so it's not a big deal

besides i would rather shovel up 12 piles of dog crap every couple of weeks than clean up a stinking fresh hot pile of dog **** every few hours inside the house

what kind of animal lets their dog crap inside their home anyway

[siva_chair]

I hear the Polish do.

I can't back that up.

[Iscariot]

it wouldn't surprise me

[siva_chair]

Nothing much suprises me anymore, tbh.

[Dave de Sylvia]

idk what exactly the polish do in their own homes but what i do know is that they're taking my jobs

[siva_chair]

Maybe they are taking your jobs into their own homes and then having their dogs crap on them.

[Dave de Sylvia]

that would definitely explain where they are taking them

but why :upset:

[Iscariot]

guys i can't stop jerking off

i think something is wrong with me

i planned to take a few days off and already i've done it three times today

[siva_chair]

that would definitely explain where they are taking them

but why :upset:

Because they hate Irish people sry man.

David Duchovny tbh.

[Iscariot]

i think i share his problem

when you've had girls break up with you because you want to have sex too often maybe that's a warning sign

i love sex though so idk

[Dave de Sylvia]

Because they hate Irish people sry man.
but i smile at them while they lick my shoes WHAT ELSE DO THEY WANT ME TO DO

also sup serial masturbator

maybe you should put a bag over your head and see how that works

[siva_chair]

Hey who doesn't.

But you are right you might have an issue let's not call it a problem that is too negative sounding.

You should take up Zen Meditation or something idk.

[siva_chair]

but i smile at them while they lick my shoes WHAT ELSE DO THEY WANT ME TO DO

Idk tip them better?



And lol cereal masturbator.

[Dave de Sylvia]

lucky charms masturbator

[Iscariot]

i'm always after me own lucky charms!

but seriously when i'm getting laid i have to have sex at least 7 or 8 times a day

when i'm on my own i jerk off 4-6 times a day but my highest count is 12 times in a day

i'm thinking about checking myself into a clinic

i actually get depressed/angry/violent when i'm not having enough orgasms
