unfortunately, america is the best country in the world (i
said UNFORTUNATELY!) but that's only in terms of dominance.
not that it is the best country that possiblycould
be. and the reason it is dominant over the rest of the
world is because democracy is the closest to the natural
order of the wild, "survival of the fittest". sadly, i
repeat SADLY, utopia will not nor can not ever exist.
communism was a great IDEA. but couldn't get past the lack
of motivation to succeed and progress when the main
principle was for the spread of wealth and equality to all
citizens. a very basic example; why the need to invent a
plasma tv when your garunteed a tube television that
displays moving pictures anyways? i don't see people making
a big deal about none of the animals of in the jungles
getting along and becoming vegetarians. i know that
comparison is kinda like apples and oranges but at the very
least we are living organisms that need eat just like them.
of course i'm aware of the fact that humans are capable of
logic and reason but i don't see any of you working two jobs
and donating half of your income so that kids with down
syndrome can live comfortable lives. in fact i don't see
any of you european chavs doing anything but satisfying your
own needs and pleasures, just like us. now i don't believe
america is on the right path towards global unity with the
rate of technological growth and the dependency on such.
but if you really mean to make a change why do you accept
all the benefits of modernization that america has gained by
opressing the weak. how do you think computers and mp3
players and turntables and the likes get produced? by us
cheating ourselves and outsourcing labor to other nations
that sell out their own people. go live in a fucking shack.
i'm admitting that i don't like the direction americas
manifest destiny has taken us but the rest of the modern
world, riding sotgun, is just as guilty. you think your
exempt cuz you're not the ones pulling the trigger. ur
hands r jus

oh, in some of the episodes, jeremy clarkson (always him,
not anyone else, and that makes it worse cause he's a twat)
will just quickly mention "oh, this american car is so big
because they can't fit in anything small" or "i went to
america and everyone asks 'do you want cheese with that?'"

it's just short "hyuk hyuk" moments to make people chuckle,
but it's just sort of annoying and baffling considering his
affinity for generalizing about american people. they're all
fat, they all like cheese on stuff, their sat nav systems
(which no one even has here by the way) point by default to
fast food, etc. here's an idea; go somewhere besides the
midwest to where people actually have some respect for
themselves.

i'm convinced that living in the middle of the country
severely limits your exposure to anything other than the
stale culture vacuum that prevails in middle america. all
that you see is strip malls, churches, and fast food places.
and wal-mart. i think those people are as stupid and dull as
everyone else in the world does. but i like living in
seattle; people seem more real and diverse here.

1. Represent the date in the format year-day-month
instead
of the more logical year-month-day.


not everyone in america does this. a lot of people do but a
lot does not mean everybody

2. Say 'I could care less' when what they really MEAN is
'I
COULDN'T care less...


i have never heard anone say "i could care less"

3. Kill their most forward-thinking leaders.

this is true and unfortunate

4. Elect their most backward-thinking leaders.

this is true and unfortunate. america has a boner for
racists, too. read about george wallace, nixon.

bush hates brown skin. he has a bloodlust for sunni's,
sufi's, shi'ites.

no one hears about it but bush and his people have a special
hatred for black american muslims. homeland security, the
department of defense, they hate the nation of islam.
thousands have been killed. its similar to the recently
repopularized subject of the president of Uganda "idi
armin", except bush never threw on a military coup

5. Invade Middle Eastern countries and kill thousands of
children.


only thousands? try ten-thousands (which is much much more)

The act of displaying hatred for a single country is as
illogical as the various "illogical things" citizens of that
country are claimed to do.

i'll go over it with you tomorrow, i'm fuckin tired. i been
up for over 30+ hours and spent 12 hours in the library at
school today doing nothing but looking up and reading 10
different bio articles and writing summaries for each and
copying 30 definitions. and the first thing i did when i
woke up yesterday @ 5p, was play fullcourt 5 on 5 basketball
for two hours straight in my gym class, and i never even got
any sleep between then and now. i'm still kinda in that
writers groove tho so i got some good ideas from lookin over
your post a few times, hopefully i'll remember them tomorrow
afternoon... well actually, it may have to wait for next
week. i gotta read two chapters for my psychology class
this weekend and there's a buttload of assignments in
correlation with that because it's an 8 week course that
just started this week. oh, and i work graveyards 10p-6a
fri-sun. i might not even care by that point. matter of
fact, after explaining all this, i couldn't care less
anymore. asalamalakam, power to the people! go on with
your bad self jive turkey.

"and the reason it is dominant over the rest of the
world is because democracy is the closest to the natural
order of the wild, "survival of the fittest".
that's a big lol

IMHO usa is so "dominant" now because of the aftermath of
WWII (without going too deep in the details)

and it does play a role in the sentiments of old europe
towards usa, mainly unconsciously now, as young people
aren't well informed of the past (nobody cares about the
past or history nowadays it seems...)
it's just that we were once dominant and aren't anymore, and
we sort of "sold" our soul (culture) to the usa in exchange
of economic benefits

i don't want to go in details because it would take an awful
lot of time, and due to the fact that my english isn't the
best around, i'll probably have to precise, explain, etc
everything i say at least twice to be sure i'm being
understood

this thread has potential if we don't simply bash each
others! :D

i often find listening to my own music with people is
properly uncomfortable because my own reactions seem to leak
into everyone else. if i'm into it, so're they. if i'm
stressing over a flub, everyone hears it. i figure since
it's my thing everyone's a bit tuned into me as well as the
song and somehow i telegraph it all. probably could use this
odd, momentary psychic link for some sort of deliberate
purpose... that is, if i could control my own reactions to
my own reactions to my own music, i could control others'
reactions to my own reactions to my own music and make
everyone think of muffins. now scones! muahaha

You'll notice that the dumber the meme like "I could care
less", the more likely it is to flourish because all of
culture has been sculpted to be backward and cancerous. An
example is wearing your pants half off your ass. They've
designed it so maximum security prisoners, a inwardly
imploding maximally sick system fractal microcosm itself, a
prison in a prison in a prison, decide what is or isn't
cool, ie. memetically replicated. They might say "I ain't
got no" which means the opposite of how they use it in a
sentence. These are the cool people, you aren't allowed to
mate and reproduce unless you adopt this hindenburg
explosion into your psyche. Only wreckage is fit. From one
perspective it truly is an absolute marvel, the genius of
whoever constructed the system to be so upside down. How did
they absolutely fill the entire spectrum, at all scales,
with so much fail? I guess it is all programmed with false
axioms, that was their main trick.

Other forums that have been infested by the centralized
authoritarian borg would "lock" a thread that is bumped with
old replies. Here we know that replying to someone 10 years
ago is equally as futile as replying to someone in the
present. We are enlightened.

Alex Jones says it is from being a "punk" in prison, which
originated as the guy who is the rape bitch of other
prisoners (the design prisons to maximize shanking and rape
and minimize rehabilitation. It's not viewed as a place of
healing, it is where the misfortunate are made even more
misfortunate, it changes the hate programing to acute to
"fix" the problem by making it worse. I watched a prison
documentary, porn is contraband because their song, their
creation is rape and they love to organize rape and shank
patterns into culture, especially in the culture of the sick
and weak, where it is meanest and most potent. So anyway
they have these psyop leaders tell the "civilian" public
that hanging your pants half off is "gangster" and cool,
when really it is a troll, the kind of troll that isn't
funny and is pure mean, to sculpt them into bitches when
they "graduate" into prison, the only socially engineered
possible path.

So insight #1) say I have an apple. Now I have "not apple".
Well how are you ever even going to give the value "not
apple" it's value. You can take a tire, and say is this an
apple? No. You can take a watermelon, a hose, a horse, each
is not an apple. But you have to check EVERY thing to make
sure not apple contains EVERY thing that is not apple, so
you have to keep checking to make sure apple is NOT there in
all the remaining things. This was the idea that came to Sir
Springington as he quantumultized computers.You see, an
object is either there or it is not there, and it was up to
computers to determine this at a fractally varying rate.
Because the system knew this bayesian learning outcome must
be applied to itself to determine if the whole thing, in
it's entirety, exists at all, the thing that is itself.
You're supposed to put words to rhythm, they should express
few sensical ideas, but invest in the nonsensical. ONly The
PatTerN maTteRs
