An easy way to remember is that the oil from the breadsticks at Fazzoli's makes the napkins somewhat transparent, a sign of lipids.

Aehm, 1984 is not about communism. It's actually more of a critique of dictatorship and government in general. The nations of 1984 are no longer to define themselves without being at war with any of the other two nations. In order for each government to preserve itself it needs to gain the support of the masses and does so by taking away any way to disagree with the government. People are ignorant and are soon no longer able to even express dissatisfaction with the government or even think in terms not dictated by the government. It's fairly general which is why it's still so very poignant to this day.

^ I think they meant Animal Farm when they were talking about communism.

But animal farm is more of an anarchy society gone dictatorship.

I WAS NEVER DISCUSSING THE BOOK! :p

I was just saying what I thought he was referring to was people referring to someone else.

Leave me alone. :upset:

Mitchell Royce 11-18-2004 04:23 PM

That'd be right then. Sorry about that outburst, but I get real pissy when people interpret literature in way too narrow terms. Guess thats why I'm studying it at Uni.

PaulSimonon 11-18-2004 04:25 PM

Big Brother=communist government...?

Maybe I'm wrong.

Your summation was much more precise (understatement), although I didn't put too much weight on the wars, and more on the Work of the Minitruth (Which was most likely my mistake?).


EDIT: I said mork... like from Mork and Mindy....

So what's everybody studying at college/uni/school? (provided you actually are of an age to do this kind of thing)

FUNKNBASS 11-18-2004 04:26 PM

Big Brother just means a watchful maybe even secretive/lurking government, not a communist one.

What about hate week and the rationing? Maybe I'm stupid.

Mitchell Royce 11-18-2004 04:28 PM

Don't forget that 1984 was written shortly after the second world war. Three superpowers fighting against each other sound familiar. With each pounding it's population with propaganda. I think that the nation of Oceania(wait, which one did it play in?) is really a combination of all three sides of the War. So to an extent you're right.

The fact that they had no authority figures anymore until that pig gained control and became the dictator.

Mitchell Royce 11-18-2004 04:30 PM
