If you had demonstrated any sense of humor previously, I'd think this was self-effacing irony. Go look on your past posts, then tell ME to pull my head out of my ass. I haven't responded to your babbling tripe so far, since for the large part it has been beneath contempt, much less notice, but your idiotic squawking and insistence on intruding on what is otherwise a fairly intelligent argument is really starting to be annoying. Go watch Jerry Springer or hit on your cousin or something, hick-boy.

Though I might have phrased it badly, that's the point I'm making- everyone wants to be themself, clearly different from everywhere else, and it just plain ain't happening. The displays of "individualism" that DO go on in this society, rare as they are, are generally pathetic, furtive little midlife-crisis-like spending sprees or done via the purchase of designer clothing- the capitalist's soul is bared

How is that necessarily a good thing? Individualism for its own sake is equally as stupid as trying to blend in with the mass just for social acceptance. And no, everyone does not necessarily want to be themselves; about half the people do, and there is no reason why they cannot do that as long as they continue to perform their other tasks.

And you're wrong, anyway. After a certain, very early point in life, what one wants to do with it starts to conform with one's native ability to get to do this- I never really wanted to be a mathemetician, more of a writer/artist sort, because that's what I'm good at, and thus what I like.

Where did I say it was not so? In fact, I'm the one around here who has always been saying that our likes and dislikes are almost completely determined by our experience in life. Of course, this is completely unavoidable due to the fact that we exist in a reality (nothing to do with governments or economies), and it also means that there is no such thing as "natural" likes or dislikes. What exactly is the problem here?

See this is what pisses me off, royally! Just because thats all YOU can see in this society, does not mean thats what everyone else is limited to.

And just because you might be happy but the other 99% of the planet isnt except you dont want to do anything because it "upsets" you pisses ME off.

However i'm not forcing you to do anything - its just you'll have to live with the ramifications of your actions (or Inactions, should I say). and that situation is a good deal less than optimal.

No he's not kidding.
It's the Capital of Burkina Faso, the country just north of Ivory Coast.
For reference: that's the country where an attempt at a coup happened and which might now be spiralling into civil war

Well, I suppose. Still, there's something wrong with a society that puts so much weitht on it, and then doesn't really allow for it.

[Knight Templar]

Heh yea let's blame society for the fact that we're not all we've ever wanted to be in life. Hell let's sue!!!

no no no no no.... Blame Canada!

[Stryke 9]

Yesss! Nuke Canada! And the French! Can't forget to nuke the French!

[Knight Templar]

I agree whole heartedly, and don't forget the little known mexico. They've been Jealous ever since we sto- Reclaimed what was right fully ours form them (i.e. California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas) They've already over run Cali with millions... i mean, ya we need people to pick our grapes and other various fruits, but when they hop over iur borders and reproduce with our Un-tainted white girls, by the dozen.. well that's just not cool.

And Canada.

[Stryke 9]

No, we need the cheap labor. I say, just sink everything north of Mexico City, mine the canal thus created, and reshape Texas to cover the entire US southern border. The Texan's will kill any foreigners who make it past the shark-infested waters, land and water mines, razor-wire fences/concrete blockades, and punji stake traps. Then, declare Mexico the 50th state (did I mention selling Rhode Island to the Japanese first?)

[Knight Templar]

Cheap Labour = Great

7 Malnourished Beaner Kids walking daring to walk into your garage to steal soem soda when you can't find your fathers gun = Annoying

it could be worse i spose'.  i like the texas idea though And i'm sure it'll happen if we keep Bush in power

"As President of the United State of Texas, I hereby declare war on the following continents...":D

It doesn't have quite the same ring as United States of Iowa, which I had always expected would happen first, but hey...

[Knight Templar]

:timothymcveigh: i'm sure mexico city could use a few less captitol buildings :timothymcveigh:

... oh wait, he's dead

hmmmm...

yeah, jus take everything down till you get to eccuador. Jus be carefull, wouldn't want our boys to catch a nasty case of malearea.

[Stryke 9]

Hmmm... I don't know. Maybe if we send the poor to invade- they're expendable, they come in large numbers, they're already diseased! Practically invulnerable, in this case! What's more, we'd be killing two birds with one stone!

[Knight Templar]

There's this one homeless dude ~ i call him homejoe ~ , he lives by Food For Less and is curiously large for a guy who can't find food, i guess that's where the back of Food 4 Less comes in. Anyways, most of them are Vets, so it's not like they wouldn't be experianced (Makes you want to join the Army , huh?)

[Stryke 9]

I hear herion addiction comes free in the Army now, too.

Is the rampant homosexuality from long lack of exposure to women part of the deluxe package, or can I just order the standard and get harassed?

[Knight Templar]

i can hear it now

"Get down and blow me 50 soldier"

"You either give me 50 wet ones, or your on Salad tossing duty for the next month"

[Bobboau]

I hope you two ****s get conscripted

[Knight Templar]

Drafted and I am legally too young

[Tiara]

This discussion just went down the toilet...

Btw, seen the American protest against war? I loved every second of it !

[Knight Templar]

Sorry baby, but every toilet must be flushed, eventually
