And I never did like cassandra.... That Rodders, he could have found something better, he had the looks and the charm... But no, he got stuck with that little spoilt, upper middle class, petite-bourgoise bitch... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...and she was minging. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
What does that mean? Minging? Are you just making words up so you confuse me and have me feeling inferior? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its a UK slang word meaning gross, horrible, ugly, disgusting etc. In this instance its a tad misogynistic but fuck it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
misogynistic? Saying that someone is an ugly bitch is just an opinion, surely? You don't hate someone for being ugly do you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It is in the sense that only women can be minging. All men are beautiful. Nah, in the sense that women are referred to as either minging or fit. to many men women are to be judged on their physical appearance and not on their personality or contribution. So its not misogynistic in itself, but in the current cultural climate it is. |
||||||||

er, you got me a little confused here, this per...sonality you talk of, how is it related to women? |

Steve equating "Computers" with capitalism is truly hilareous..The internet even in its sliced, diced, ecommerced, venture capitalised form..is the closest thing to an arnarchic state that this world has to offer....the collective subconsious so to speak or the village meeting place.. the dotcomm collapses just prove that most of the people using the interent arent using it for "capitalistc"persuits as the executives in the board rooms envisaged..sure there's people like Meho who's every pronographic need is being met by the net(just kidding, sorry,okay Meho..just kidding..you are coolest!!)..or free music which all of us indulge in.. but there's a good portion of the users..who are using it to plainly and simply communicate..hear what others have to say..compare notes, exchange ideas all things that are detrimental to a capitalistic system..where unless you are a prone consumer..open and willingly submitting to their prompts and prods and suggestions (ads) leading to consumption of their products..you are non desireable...well down here you can simply scroll past the banner..and after a while you can just blank them out or make a consumer decison and dwnload a freeware that skips all the banners and ads...and still have a continous experience unlike TV where you have to resort to channel surfing to avoid ads... a most basic example is the the most expensive product short of War machines that the populus comes in contact with...The Hollywood blockbuster..no amount of test audience directed tweaking and tuning..is going to shut up a dissatisfied punter getting on a message board very much like this one and say that the movie he just spent his hard earned cash on blew razor chunks...and the bad word about a bad product spreading is exactly what capitalism wants to avoid...... |

Erm... |

No offense taken, mate. The bad thing with the internet is that it drowns us in information we don't need. It's just there so we take it. The easiness with which we can get the information makes it all the more insignificant to us... Hmm, I'm rambling here and am too lazy to explain better. Let's do some more women-bashing instead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BTW, that porn thing that you mention is a good example: the fact that it's mere clicks away from me is what makes me go for it. I am lucky I don't have a credit card because I don't know if I could be disciplined enough not to spend money for that crap... |
||||||||

So true..at least this is not the old days about 12 years ago when I was accessing USENET on the campus mainframe..my room didnt have room to live because It was covered in stacks and stacks of printouts of previously inaccessible information I just had to have...and honestly I read most of it..hence my current deranged state %-p What you are talking about porn is me on mp3.com making inroads into amazing music being created in bedrooms that will never ever get released due to hundreds of financial considerations.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which is only OK, but I find that more of it is accessible, more I start to question it's significance to my life. Which is probably a good thing actually... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What I don't get from Steve is this: "I prefer blind patriotism and loyalty" "I don't care if we're the most evil group of people ever to exist, I live here and i'm going to back it up" This suggests active support "I'm know i'm a pawn, i'm a sheep" ...and this suggests total passive attitude Strange... |

Maybe his 'perfect life' is so dull he has to try and rile us. I have no idea. I forgot about him. |
||||||||

It's so glib..it almost as if he's got his tongue's jammed against his cheek..atleast I do so hope to all the gods above and below... |

Steve said: "I'm know i'm a pawn, i'm a sheep, i'm a whatever you want to call it. I know this and i'm fine with it. I'll let people like you continue your futile efforts trying to change the world to suit you. The main difference between us is I know i'm a sheep, you don't." Now the thing is: if it's people like steve accepting the status quo because they are content with their lives and can't be bothered with crimes done in their name worldwide (thus supporting the system passively), isn't it only natural that there are other people who think that hitting a building full of steves with an airplane is a legitimate tactique in a battle for survival. |

Lay off us Americans. Don't you think we've gotten enough shit already? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sorry, who are you talking to? I never once slagged americans in this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, not quite as much shit as the Viatnamese, the Cambodians, Iraqis, Aghans, south Americans, Somalians, native Americans, people in Yugoslavia, east Timorese...I could go on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm talking to anyone who did, guess that's not you then. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
And that justifies it, jonesy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you read the first 6 posts on this topic? We where discussing those issues. Not telling americans to fuck off because thay are american, just discussing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what kind of shit are we talking about anyway? I mean, saying that americans in general suck ass is one thing. But condemning the obviously violent, imperialistic foreign policies is another. I see a clear difference between the two. Coming from someone who spent 10 years in a country run by Milosevic (often compared with Hitler etc.) I think I know what I'm talking about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Justifies what, the WTC 9/11 thang? Well of course not, but don't be naive enough to think we're not going to criticise US foreign policy. The events of 9/11 were a minor incident compared to the untold suffering of those around the world who have been bombed by the US. And for the one millionth time, we are talking about the US govt & multinationals, and NOT its citizens such as yourself. |

that's my man jonesy in his full-on polemic mode. |

You know me. Why beat around the Bush? - geddit! |
||||||||

|

That would be me..but I explained somewhere by Americans I mean the powers that be and not you and me... teknoterroist..is a funny name to go all patriotric with by the way.. are you like identifying with terrorists and equating your musical tastes and persuits with those of disruption of the status quo... or you just thought it would be a cool and scary name in view of the state of affairs.. or you just couldnt be arsed and strung two words starting with t together and see where it takes you? |
||||||||

|

Yeah, I read the first 6 posts. But do you seriously think that what the US Gov. is doing is worse than Killing thousands of people in a few minutes because you belive that they are infidels. If you're going to talk about the actions the US has taken, don't forget to talk about the positive things too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I've been reading these posts with interest. Jonesy and Meho know a hell of a lot on this subject, so it's quite educating. I checked out that Pilger link - I saw his documentary on Iraq. He really is quite fantastic. I think I'm going to try to read more of his stuff. Frankly though, this whole situation that we find ourselves in at the moment terrifies me. I can envisage WWIII or nuclear armageddon. And it has all been precipitated by the greed of Western nations, in particular the US and to a lesser extent the UK. But what CAN we do about it? I feel helpless. |

+But do you seriously think that what the US Gov. is doing is worse than Killing thousands of people in a few minutes because you belive that they are infidels+ yes oh god yes that IS what we are saying...wake up and smell the Starbucks man.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which are...? Bombing the hell out of Afghanistan? Ripping up the Kyoto agreement? The Star Wars nuclear programme? And anyhowz, many more Afghans died as a result of US bombing than did civilians on 9/11. Is an American life worth more than an Afghan? |

Do they even have starbucks in Korea? |

|
|

|

Tekno: what? Killing few thousand people in few minutes is bad, OK. Killing a whole planet with pollution because you make money on it is , er, worse? What do you think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of COURSE what the US is doing is FAR worse! They kill fucking LOADS more people, produce massive amounts of pollution, oppress 3rd world nations, make their own rules, act like bullies, etc. They have quite obviously committed much greater crimes than AL Qaeda. Fuck the US, and fuck the UK |

I'd have thought so, backed by the barrel of the US gun. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Hey jonesy I never compared the value of lives, you guys just keep trying to interpret what i'm saying into something that is totaly not what I mean. Bottom line....Bin laden is fucking evil, and the US Gov is ignorant, simple as that. |

New Zealand people have been proactive in creating a Nuclear Free country..despite all the pressure US, France and even Australia has been exerting on it..we just recently dumped our Air Strike force in favour of planes that would be more suitable for rescue operations.... Consensus can work..complacency is what keeps the regimes like Bush deluding and confusing and scaring the population further and further down a slipery slope which can only produce the end result of a paraniod nationalistc fascist state... |

Lol, teknoterrorist means hacker, lol. |

Bin Laden is the evil harversted reared groomed nurtured and launched by the US..or didnt you know that.. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Teknoterrorist: I don't think we will fall for that. "Ignorant"? As in "they are not aware of the consequences of their actions"? You really believe that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Though I don't subscribe to notions of good and evil (that is the discourse of the US propagandists) I'd say the US is even more evil. What's the difference between the two? |
||||||||

Heh, another american poster that we'll effectively put off from this board by our hostile attitude. |

Hey, teknoterrorist: I just want to asure you that nobody here hates you, nor am I going to hold anything of what you say against you personally. We're just talking, OK? |

vice president agnews once said "the united states,for all its faults,is still the greatest nation in the country" |

| |||||||||
|

lol, there you go putting words in my mouth again. Of course they are aware of their actions, but when innocents die, it's an accident, the US military didn't go "hey, there's a 8 year old afgan boy, lets drop a fucking bomb on his head!" It's more like "Good god, we killed a 8 year old boy due to bad scouting by the cia or ground forces." |

And I suggest that following a thread before jumping and postulating will go a long way towards avoiding misunderstandings |

Actually they do: March 2002 When U.S. warplanes strafed [with AC-130 gunships] the farming village of Chowkar-Karez, 25 miles north of Kandahar on October 22-23rd,killing at least 93 civilians, a Pentagon official said, "the people there are dead because we wanted them dead." The reason? They sympathized with the Taliban1. When asked about the Chowkar incident, Rumsfeld replied, "I cannot deal with that particular village." |

I did follow the thread, quit assuming things. |
