A SAD, SAD DAY...

[Yao]

Lexicon, the part of your post I did understand ws very well put. I assume the (for me English is my 2nd language) unintelligible parts were just alike.

Just Joking. Well spoken except for some parts, but I totally agree with

As long as humans have emotions, Utopia will be unattainable.

Welcome back My Lexicon. As eloquent as ever i see!

[mylexicon]

k so many fallacies everywhere i have to respond to a few.......

people are dying, people are poor and suffering...and etiquette is only a part of stagnation....im not here to cause anyone physical harm, nor am i apart of anything EXCEPT raising the standards of equality

So why do you vote for a party that takes money from the .0001% of the globes
richest people and then redistributes it to the top 20% of the world's richest
people. Buying votes much? You say: "But no! democrats really do care about poverty!" Laff. The only reason we have welfare is because republicans and democrats
alike realized we were going to have to pay people not to turn communist. B/c
of our utterly spoiled and useless lower class, the rest of the world suffers.
Only one party collects their votes and promises further stagnation of the global
economy on behalf of poor Americans. The party: Democrat

the only thing that hes right about is that you moronic country re elected a guy who has run 2 businesses into the ground driven your dollar ridiculously low and killed millions of your people for an unjust cause. enjoy the next few years of your life, they will be interesting

A low dollar makes our exports more appealling abroad and makes imports
look more expensive at home, which helps our country close its enormous
and sometimes out of control trade defecit. If your talking about the two Texas
oil companies W ran into the ground, you are wasting your breath. Tons of
people lost their shirts when Texas Tea dried up.

it can be right here...but i cant happen if we contiue to live in a world based on the individuals proliferation, hoarding of all natural resources, (i.e. capitalism)...

WTF. Hoarding of natural resources is called mercantilism. Repeat after me.
Mercantilism. Capitalism is about making things more valuable by generating
cash flows and making the assets you have appreciate in importance over
time. Not about building a big pile of money to sit on. Everyone who has
ever stepped into economics 101 knows that hoarding natural
resources is self-defeating. Some of the world's greatest philosophers and
social scientists were actually economists. They also have been seeking ways
for people to live in peace and prosperity. The only thing holding capitalism back today is
the uneducated dimwits who enter the American workforce with absolutely no
capitalistic training what-so-ever. And the hilarious thing is most of those people
go around calling everyone else uneducated or uncultured.

we can be TACTFUL with our strife, we can argue, we can reduce our omnipresent strife to a stage of reason...THE ARGUMENT...that CAN happen...

Argument and reason mandate that all people maintain complete objectivity.
Can you ask a parents to accept the suffering of their children? Can you
ask a husband to accept the suffering of his wife? No. Because of the intimate
emotional bonds between people. Objectivity is only possible through the
suppression of emotions. As long as humans have emotions, Utopia will be
unattainable.

Damn i gotta go work on this project.

Peace

Re: A SAD, SAD DAY...

sounds fair. we call it a truce.

:wink:

fuck, at first I thought that said.. we call it trance

LOL

[Yao]

Missed a part of the conversation here, but a truce would be good. Throwing shit at each can be fun, but this time was getting a little pathetic.

I actually stopped posting because I got fed up with it. Next time, next topic, lots of fun.

Re: A SAD, SAD DAY...

asdf,

your psychology befuddles me

i will let this go for now, so you may continue on in ignorance...

( i mean peace ???)

The man throws you an olive branch and you shit on it. Class act, I must say.

Can't you just accept that people have a difference of opinion than you rather than calling everybody who doesn't agree with you ignorant? Oh wait, I think your exact words (for anybody who voted for Bush or not at all) were "NIHILIST, A CHRISTIAN PEDANT, OR JUST PLAIN DUMB/BRAINWASHED". That just accomplishes nothing.

I certainly don't agree with the people who voted for Bush (or Kerry for that matter), but I certainly don't consider all of them to be ignorant. Many on both sides obviously have no idea who they are voting for beyond The Party (tm). But there are also a lot of people who know the issues, have thought them through, and have made informed decisions based on what is important to them. This includes many of the people on this board who have debated this election thing for the past months - most of whom you have baselessly insulted in this pointless thread.

I didn't vote for Kerry either - I went with an independent candidate (Nader). What does that make me? Nishilist? A hippie pendant? Ignorant? Dumb or Brainwashed??

Learn to accept a difference of opinion rather than being a dismissive more-holy-than-thou twat (I love that word ). Do you want to make the world a better place or sit around and bitch because you don't like how it is currently going? Or is the country soooo fucked up that there is nothing more that can be done? Who is the nihilist now....

later

if only.....

i like some of Nader's positions...i would have voted for him if Bush wasnt running...im not giving up...i would like to try another time to fill in the blanks here...i understand your contempt...i am only a nihilist when i have to give in to the conventions of this culture and put food on the table...my screaming banter may seem excessively negative, but it was positive in a philosophical way...guess you didnt see that...its over now...this thread has morphed into a pitiful diologue with no real substance...please bring up another topic we can discuss

[Balanc3]

For what's supposed to be a "progressive community" there's an awful lot of animosity and bitterness here. It's particularly sad when so much of it comes from someone with an "Administrator" tag on their name.

One would think that those who consider themselves progressives would be very open to the free exhange of ideas, and rational discussion, with respect to everyone's point of views.

Don't get progressive music mixed with progressive politics son. Thats like hispanics confusing Democracy with Democrat... you wonder where those extra votes came from
