One of my favourite exchanges from Withnail and I, beautiful and neat in a way that Onstad also often is. Withnail wishes to disguise Marwood's bourgeois provenance from Uncle Monty.
Monty: Where did you school?
Withnail (hurriedly): He went to the other place, Monty.
Monty: Oh, you went to Eton?
Monty (thus implied, along with Withnail, as having attended Harrow) is then fortunately distracted by the cat before the confused Marwood can respond.

The dude looked like Tootsie--I tried to hide my fear.
I just whipped the camel's flanks and said "Yo Sadiqi, on to al-Balazir!"
He drove me to the finest palace in Afghanistan,
I shouted to the driver: "You'll be better in Rain Man!"

Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realize it's all within yourself

And to see you're really only very small,
And life flows ON within you and without you.

She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do- oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust
She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do- oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

Mike is very vocal, almost chatty, but rarely loud. Pete, a Black Lab crossed with some sort of Hound, is the loud one in my pack. I mean LOUD . For some reason he thinks that nearly everything requires shouting. When he first joined us some ten months ago he was much more reserved, but as he's become more comfortable he's lost his inhibitions -- or at least his volume control knob broke off.

Play with appropriate passion. Fashion
Songs of delight and delicious desire
For the night of my nights.
Come where the so well beloved is waiting,
Where the rose and the jasmine mingle
While I tell her the moon is for mating
And 'tis sin to be single!
Let peacocks and monkeys in purple adornings
Show her the way to my bridal chamber,
Then get you gone 'til the morn of my mornings
After the night of my nights!
'Tis the night of my nights!

A 43-year old should roll with a simple, hefty image--like the masonic seal, or him standing over a felled adversary, I don't know. But I bet you're more mature than the 4chan kids, so it's startling to see a lolcat rolling around you.

So, when you get to be 43, check in with me!
Regardless of my image, I am fairly "hefty", and I can tell ya' a hella lot 'bout the masonic seal and it's intwined symbolisms (not sure if that really interests ya').
I listen to the music my kids do, and find neat new things to love while still enjoying the gold old music of my youth and young adulthood. I recreate life anew everyday, so it nevers gets old, dry or boring. I read voraciously and variedly. I love people in all the ways they are, and you'll never find a fiercer friend or more loyal supporter! You'd be amazed at what powers I will bring to bear if you are my friend and in need of help!
If I'm lucky, in 20 years I'll be listening the the music my grandkids dig, and cracking jokes about silly stuff, while still finding newness in every day and every relationship. Of course, I could just be a silly, senile alsheimer's participant - but then who'd know the difference?

No argument. Your lame is a vote. But, since it isn't clear what you were voting on (agreement or annoyance), it will not be counted. I will only tally chubbies in taking a community temperature on the cat persona. If you don't care, then it don't matter. But if you wish to be heard, only a chubby will work. Lames express a completely different vote criteria and I'll let assetbar tally that for me.
But if you tell me which one you lamed, I'll make an exception and add your vote, loneal. (I was really trying to avoid math on this one.)

Don't worry pooka! Everyone's opinion counts here. I only want what's so, not false politeness.
I tried to make it anonymous, but folks got so worried about any possibility of someone getting an unearned chubby (you'd have thought I was asking for money or something), that it didn't completely work.
Now, loneal has the guts to be up front and honest, and put her name on it. Don't make her wrong for that! Besides, neither answer is "right" or "wrong", it's just whether the humor works or not.
Fact, let's try this: chubby loneal here if you hate the cat. Chubby aperson if you like it. Do nothing if you couldn't care less!

Man, some things are too important to do over the internet. Let's take this to the Achewood World Tour stops. After Onstad warms up the crowd with some book signings and glad-handing, we can hold a community forum on whether or not we want you to pretend to be a cat on the message board. Jim Lehrer will moderate.

Except rather than being rapacious monsters her characters were made of yarn and wanted you not to walk home by yourself. Also there was a lot less Maalox and tears in Day-Lewis's roles.

When a person is on the phone, the other party physically privy to the conversation must keep all vocalizations to a minimum to give respect to the conversation.
And it makes eavesdropping easier.

You blow me away.

I'll sit on your face and then I'll love you truly

Man Prince al-Balazir is a bit of a douche, trying to entice his dames with the exact same booth decorations, and hoping to gain from the confusion he creates by placing his booth a little closer to the entrance. By the time the birds realize they're not with Prince Kharmoud Halat, it's far too late to leave and retain their dignity, so they tend to stay after all, "Oh well let's see what he's like maybe he won't be that bad I mean one has to stay adventurous in this life"

[quote=kamet]I like the "Anyhow." segway.. nice to see he's tossing it up from the "Soon."[/quote]
"Anyhow," "but," and "soon" are not interchangeable segues. The gray panel backgrounds indicate that we are seeing a flashback, so "anyhow" tells us we have returned to the present with a certain attitude toward what we have just experienced. "Soon" is used when we start in the present and move from that time to a future point. "But" means "so much for eating a fucking sandwich when that woman is giving me sass-gut."
Also, 5'ed for the dialogue-by-eyebrows, again. (No relevance, but I figured the entire area around this thread could only be improved by having something completely unrelated to Segway in it.)

Straycatrut, posterboy, killkillkill and someone else whose username starts with an "e", but who I have otherwise forgotten. All four have, with remarkable synchronisation, taken to laming as many posts of mine as they could. Fortunately, I make a lot of posts and we don't get that many alotted lames.
Incidentally, guys, my lame limit is set to eight, so the only real upshot of this attack on my (to my eyes) quite innocuous posts was that I no longer consider the lame/chubby ratio on my profile to be of any relevance. But thanks anyway!

Worse than that in retrospect, and possibly enough to make Ray stop eating another sandwich, is the expression of Tina's desire to face sit mutually . That's a little too affectionate (and logistically impossible) for phone-sex talk, if you ask me.

Logistically impossible? Not exactly.
[A projector screen opens from the cieling]
The mutual face sit, or 'equal opportunity kinging/queening', is simply achieved with the slightest of variations on the classical '69' position. Though many argue that the inevitability of a 'top party' precludes the act of sitting by the 'bottom', if you will excuse the pun, others still suggest...

I have a proposal!
[Rolls up projector screen. Uncaps dry erase marker. Holds marker under nose while inhaing deeply]
Aaaahhh...
First we arrange the parties in the '69' position, but lying on their sides. We then place them on a circular, horizontal, rapidly rotating platform with vertical rests supporting their heads and the two-body system's center of mass over the axis of rotation. When rotated rapidly enough, the centrifugal force will force the nether regions up party A against the fhead of party B, creating the desired sensory illusion of mutual face-sitting! The surface of the turntable should ideally be made of a low-friction material that can be hosed off.

actually I wonder now that I think about it if Onstad wants to hide his image from the world? Maybe he would prefer it not be posted? I say that because in all the articles I've ever read where they normally put the subject's picture instead they just have some cartoon supplied by Onstad.

I think he's just trying to lure her into a situation where she would demonstrate her willingness to cheat on Ray, thus giving Ray an excuse to break up with her.
Not to say this is necessarily a legitimate reason, for in addition to the question of whether the deception outweighs the response, we have to wonder: who among us could resist the decadent temptations proffered by a honey-tongued Emir with his wreath of radish blossoms?

Man, it ain't as funny as it looks!
True story: My parents met in Japan in the '50's, and we grew up with several words and phrases of Japanese in routine use around our house. We understood that most of them were Japanese.
I didn't get that memo on one word: "unko". (Some of you just laughed.) When we needed the bathroom, it was either to go pee, or to go unko.
So, first day of kindergarten, I raise my hand and inform Miss Cannon that I need to go unko, and she smiles and says that's nice, and goes back to helping a girl in my class. For the next ten desperate minutes I repeatedly interrupt her, only to get that befuddled, benign, useless smile and reassurance.
Finally, perhaps more from the dance steps involved than the words spoken, she gets the message.
It was a rude introduction into a world that really didn't give a crap if ya' gotta crap!

Well that one is kind of true. I found this on Yahoo Answers:
"The angular velocity (spin velocity) of the two points is the same as they are part of the same disc so they have to spin at the same velocity as in rpm.
the tangencial velocity, though is higher in the outer part of the disc as it has to travel a greater distance."
And you can tell it's not one of Dad's tricks because the joke is not that Calvin has been misinformed but that later that night he's still thinking about it (one of my favorites because of that wordless last panel).

I have convinced the child she has baby toes and will lose them as she grows older. Does this make me a bad person? Lying to children?

I can kinda see the side against corrupting a kid. It's all fun and games when they are little and you get a nice laugh at them. Teenagers are different. They are horrible little beasts. My wife plans on buying my niece her first bikini when the kid turns 12. I tell my wife if she tarts up my niece and lets her wear some whorish lingerie of the sea I'll lock both of them in a barrel and roll the barrel in a lake and burn the lake with fire.
First boy that looks at my niece for more than four seconds gets my jimmy in their eye. I'm serious as a heart attack. I'm not going to tell you what she looks like. Just don't look at girls for that long, just in case it might be her.
Hint: my jimmy is bigger around than your eye socket.

He'd let us in, that kind octopus, knows what we've suffered.
In his octopus' garden,

I'd ask my comrades to come and see
this sad old octopus with me
I'd struggle to be,
under the sea
In that octopus' garden in the shade.
We would be equals beneath the tyranny
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
struggling to make a decent living
In an octopus' garden near a cave
We would work and earn what we deserve
because we know only ourselves we should serve

In an octopus' garden in the shade
We would rally, and, rebel against

We would be so happy you and me

Saying things like that is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Regardless, who actually believes he's as much of an idealist as he's painted out to be? His actual positions are pretty moderate and 'realist', even for a Democrat. The idealist thing was just packaging designed to get all the "I'm too cool to vote" youth out to the polls, and in that sense it's worked pretty well.

It isn't because they wouldn't satirize him if they could, it's just the stuff they could satirize him for isn't very funny. If he were more of a hypocrite, then it would be easier to do. But (by and large) he is pretty much everything he says he is. The funniest stuff that gets brought to him has to do with the messiah complex that he has going on, but since he himself isn't too over the top with it, it isn't as funny. Obama supporters on the other hand...

If you're talking about the local level, I'll readily grant you that, but in the context of national elections that we were talking about, there has not been a major realignment for decades. The issues don't change and the party platforms don't change, so what possible reason could one have for changing sides other than either getting distracted by petty personality characteristics or just wanting to be different?

I'll bite. Turtle hit on it below. Most reasonable independents I've met (most are just crazy) hinge on an issue not squarely grabbed by either party. Most commonly libertarian types. They like to swing to whoever tends to a more loose handed governing style. This is not a fringe issue, and this is not an uninformed voter issue. They just focus on a (key) issue that isn't well addressed.
I wouldn't put it past Pogo to be one of these sorts. They tend to not care much about social issues, generally dislike the war, and HATE market interference and overbearing government. They used to be hardcore republicans, but are angry at the party for walking away from their libertarian ideas and embracing the social conservatives. Rub me if I'm getting warm Pogo

Is it not possible to want the government out of the market, and also care about social issues? It is possible to believe that the world might be better off without the market at all, and still want the government out of it?
No matter where you want to draw the line, it still serves to create an us vs. them dynamic. What if there is no "them"? What if all there is is "us"?
I tend to look at the candidate from a point of view of honesty and integrity. Do they really do what they says they will? Does their voting record really support what they say they're up to? Both parties are trains on the same track. They're just moving at different speeds. So, for me, it's all about character.

Sorry, Pogo:
That is only one of many possible paradigms. Just the only one you've ever gotten glimpse of. Historians who can only tell history in terms of economics miss a lot of what happened. And many of the great things on Earth only happened because it wasn't about a bottom line somewhere.
Don't get me wrong on this. I'm not advocating destroying the market. My only point above is that it is possible to believe the world is better off without the market, and still not want the government being part of what brings it to an end. My point is that there are many nuanced and varied possible points of view. These pigeonholes we like to use rarely serve us as much as they limit us.

I should add that typical human behaviour tends to be mistrustful, and the market plays well with that.
When you look above at the mess and fury over a simple question asked in way that could generate useful information being construed to be a money-grab for chubbies, and the weirdness that brought out in people, you'd have thought I was trying to trick or cheat folks out of some kind of income.
This is what a context of base survival and limited resources looks like. When people say "lame me" they get chubbied, and when a chubby is requested, regardless of the merit or reason, it is an instant lame-fest. There's nothing wrong here. It's all basic, normal humanity.
But what if you could really get for yourself a context of abundance, where there is more than enough for everyone, and what people ask for arrives for you as genuine, and not something to invalidate by doing the opposite? Believe me when I say I'm a pull for such a world. And the market might not survive it.

It's also worth mentioning that in many market situations, you could profit from complete honesty. The "best case" balanced for everyone cooperating is very frequently better than the "free for all" best option where everybody tries to maximize personal gain. It's easier to demonstrate this with simple economic models but it applies in more complicated cases too.

Thank you.
Now, I invite you to consider what it would be like to have a society that shared with each other the burdens and the benefits such that the paradigm no longer was one of "me first" or even "me second" but rather "what do you need?" with complete confidence that others would ensure that you also had what you desired. I know it sounds alien, but I believe it is closer to being possible than we realize.
(It is my firm belief, however, that such a society can only arise within a free market society, and will only work if its participants choose freely to be part of it.)
Thank you.

Sorry, but all the idealistic socialist and communal experiments we need have already been run, and they prove humans are only slightly cooperative, but fiercely competitive and self-centered. So we maximize this with systems of enlightened self-interest. Read Hobbes, not the comic.

Precisely the issue at hand. You don't change the humans by changing the system, you transform the system by transforming the humans. It only can happen in a space where people are free to opt in or not (not the case in any socialist or communal experiment to date). Freewill makes all the difference.

Chatbot, I hope you are not saying that you only vote for the most honest politicians. If Sarah Palin is being completely honest about wanting to overturn Roe vs. Wade, teaching creationism and abstinence-only sex ed, keeping gays from having equal rights, etc., then I definitely do not want to vote for her. I'd much rather vote for Obama, even if he were only going to make half the reforms he says he will.

I've said nothing about the current race. Just the general guiding principal I use. Which is why I've voted people from all parties at different times. Frankly, the contest is on this year to see who can be the least genuine. McCain is hard to stomache, period, and Obama goes down smooth, but leaves a nasty after-taste. I'm still not decided, but it won't be based on V.P.

We shouldn't overlook common sense for the sake of a meaningless barrier. Obama's appeal (for me anyway, I know there are people out there) has never been his race, it has been his message. It has been diluted at bit for the general, but by and large it still stands.
God knows those old white men haven't had their shot at the presidency before. Thank god the septuagenarians are finally getting their shot! Jesus, when you throw that into it, it completely invalidates your argument. And Palin doesn't count, because, while she does happen to have a woman's vagina, she has the mind of Don Draper from Mad Men, leaving it a victory for genitals, and not for women.

Whiteturtle: I won't argue either point. But, whether he's "your kind" of black or not, and quite aside of any relation his race has or doesn't have with his appeal, Obama is black. Likewise, regardless of her views or political incorrectness or even maybe anti-feminism, Palin is a woman. Discounting this is a fairly silly place to stand, regardless your political views. That McCain is the oldest man ever to run is much less interesting, and only really matters to centarians and the good folks at Guiness World Records.

The reason the first woman president is supposed to be exciting and noteworthy is because a) she'd show how far women's rights have come, and b) she'd bring a unique perspective and motivation to advancing women's rights even further. Palin wants to take all the rights that women have fought for, use that to get herself a high-power position, and then stomp the shit out of it all and erase it for every other woman. If McCain got elected and died, Palin would technically be the first woman president, but she would taint and mock the historicity of that role. She'd keep almost every woman resolutely underneath the glass ceiling and render the title of First Woman President utterly meaningless.

Much fear and fury! Loneal: I won't argue with you on any of this. They are all valid views, and I accept them as being yours. I invite you to consider that what she does or doesn't stand for or believe is rather aside from what she can and can't get away with. The system is designed to be self-regulating. The people will have their say. If (and grant you, it is a huge if based on many contingencies) Palin inherited the oval office (would McCain need to be dead, or just incapcitated?) she would have broken new ground. She would be our Margaret Thatcher. And the system would check her actions, much like President Bush's actions have been contained and constrained by the system (why we're not in Iran right now!) Regardless of what she did or didn't do, she would still be a woman, and that would still be a first. Anyway, none of it is what's so, so not much point losing sleep over it yet!

No, she wouldn't be our Margaret Thatcher because she didn't actually seek the highest office, she just accepted it when it was offered to her.
McCain was vetted, and grudgingly accepted by the Republicans. Palin was chosen by one man. Same thing happened with Cheney and look where it got us. People don't really vote on the VP choice, they vote on what the VP choice says about a candidate. The Palin choice rallied the repub base because it says that McCain is willing to do whatever the religious right wants him to, and removed their lingering suspicions of his 'maverickness'.
The Biden choice says that Obama wants someone who can help him govern and handle foreign affairs.
This isn't a matter of "oh, everyone has their opinion and all are equally valid." This is a matter of people standing for something, and some of those people stand for things which are wrong, misguided, and dangerous.

Whiteturtle: Thank you for this. I agree that Margaret Thatcher had more moxy and ambition. But she was about the same kind of character I think we get in Palin. (You are perhaps too young to remember just how constipating Ms. Thatcher really was!)
That said, you have gotten exactly why I won't be voting based on V.P. That doesn't mean I ignore what the choice says about the candidate.
McCain puts in Palin to satisfy the rep. base that he's ok, and maybe draw in some of those disappointed Hilary fans. Then he still does exactly what he would have done, and she is nothing more than a figure head, a poster child for just how unimportant it is to be V.P. And it really doesn't change anything! But what it says: 1) He's a snake in the grass who says one thing to setup being able to do another; 2) He's woefully out of touch if he thinks any major portion of Hilary's supporters are interested in Palin just because she's a gal! That's what I got.
That said, everyone does have their opinion, and just based on the fact that they are a human being's opinion, they are equally valid. They don't all work equally well with different stands that different people make, but they are all equally valid. We'll get nowhere calling the other guy's views "wrong, misguided or dangerous." That doesn't mean we have to be aligned with them to accept them as being the other person's views. But we will get much further by accepting them where they are, and then enrolling them into our views in a discussion of what works. What you resist, persists. Especially if you find someone's views dangerous, it is critical not to resist them in the least! This saps their strength faster than any counter attack you could muster! (Picture Neo finally no longer resisting Agent Smith, and thereby winning the war miraculously. Picture Ghandi's stand being such that with no resistance, a war is ended.)

This is why I think the choice of Sarah Palin shows McCain is more interested in getting into power than he is in the welfare of the Unites States. According to actuarial analysis, McCain has a 25% chance of dying in his first term. That's a 25% chance of Palin becoming president in the next four years, if McCain is elected. Two years ago, Palin was the mayor of a town with a population of 6500. And now you want her to be your second-in-command? You're thinking, "Yeah, if I die, the most powerful country in the world will totally be safe under the control of this woman".
It's just so obviously a political move to "shake things up" and nothing more. I mean, yes, I know, all politicians do things like this, but it just seems to show how blatantly he cares more about getting himself into power than he does about American being in good hands. And I can believe that he really truly thinks he's right for presidency, but there is just no way that he can think Palin would do a good job if the position was put upon her.
Also this comment thread is really long and it's possible that this has all already been said.

Not all people's opinions are equally valid. I hate to go all Godwin on your ass, but it was not a valid opinion to think all the Jews in Europe needed to die. That is the most obvious example, but we can think of lots of other genocides (Darfur, Rwanda) and lesser events (lynchings, witch hunts) that stemmed from opinions that were not valid.
Now you are going to tell me that they are valid but unworkable, and I'm going to put you on my ignore list.

You will do as you wish. But I don't need to say it, you already did.
Look, really, the day that we all get that both Hitler and Ghandi were equally human, that both struggled against the machine part of what it is to be human, that neither was more human or less human; the day we let go of all of our interpretations of them that ignore the what it was to be them dealing with what it is to be human; that day the world will never need another war.
Hitler was as valid a human as any you will ever meet. He could not tolerate his own humanity, and that showed up in a huge destructive impact in the lives of those around him. It did not work at all!
Ghandi got his own humanity, and accepted it. Having done so, he could now authentically look outward in a different way, a way that made him beloved of all (except maybe the British). His life really worked, and had a huge beneficial impact in the lives of those around him.
But they were both equally human!~
I am only able to be the way I am with regards to others because I get what the game of my machine is, and what an inauthentic selfish asshole I really am. Getting that makes it possible to choose other ways of being.

The fight is all drained out of me, as far as politics here in the U.S. goes. Vote for whoever you want, seriously. If America's majority would like to overturn Roe vs. Wade, stay in Iraq, and teach Creationism in public schools, let them. I suppose it is democracy in action.
I feel that it's not an impossibility that the Age of Enlightenment, where people began questioning formerly steadfast beliefs, is actually coming to an end. What comes after that, who knows? Perhaps another 'dark age'.
Not all progress is good, the future isn't always bright. Maybe we've just ran out of steam. Which is okay, I'd just start recommend you start buying gold and cattle now.

I know technically the Age of Enlightenment ended awhile ago, but it's principles lived on since, and maybe they just won't anymore. Everyday it seems that the anti-intellectual movement grows. More and more people are seeing reason as the enemy, literacy as something unnecessary, and science as "out-of-control".
Maybe we'll return to a more "simple" way of life, which seems to be a thing a lot of people desire. Let them have it, sometimes you just can't stop the ocean.

I don't disagree with this notion at all. Hell, we might, of necessity, be heading back to a "simpler" time anyway. We're still struggling with the effects of the overheated Big Bang of the industrial revolution.
Avoiding entropy is a lot of hard goddamn work, and maybe we've established some cultural subroutines that are stuck and dragging the rest of the system down. Maybe we need to reboot and start from scratch. (uh, I don't mean violence)
But what do we do with all the knowledge we already have accumulated? That doesn't completely go away, not at first. There isn't some Library of Alexandria, and a lot more people got the learning now then back then, so they would see that maybe fascism sucks, or maybe we shouldn't poop where we get our water from, (hopefully) preventing us from going down the worst paths of decay.
We left the "dark ages" originally because the learning stuck around and won out in the end. Humans and life in general, unlike the rest of the universe, appear to act as anti-entropy agents. Even if society collapses in its current form, the complexity and memory will still be there in some form or another, and the next version would be informed by it. That is heartening to me.
(oh jesus guys, I just read an article about entropy and I am still feeling it a bit I am so sorry.)

True, the information never goes away. I suppose I just do not anticipate the future, or the age I'll be living in. Whoever gets elected, it won't change the priorities and interests of the average citizen. I'm sure it wouldn't change the fact that 1 out of every 4 adults in America didn't read a single book last year. It wouldn't change the fact that 55 percent of American's believe the Bible is literal fact, or that 71 percent of Evangelicals believe that the world will end in a battle between Jesus and the Antichrist here on Earth.
Nothing can change that, I suppose. We'll just have to form shady science cabals.

Idealism? I do not think what I'm saying is idealistic at all. I'm saying that the general population, no matter what happens or who is elected, seems to be taking a shift towards anti-intellectualism.

Idealism? I do not think what I'm saying is idealistic at all. I'm saying that the general population, no matter what happens or who is elected, seems to be taking a shift towards anti-intellectualism.

Both whiteturtle and autrepoupee: Reading this tread has made it worth getting up today! Nothing else I do this day will likely be the equal. Thank you for the gift!
Pogo: It ain't dramatic in the least! they are grappling with big picture issues. I wish more conversations in life were concerned with those. They have both given it serious thought, and as is typical of all human beings (no exceptions!) they are concerned with the future.
I invite all who read to consider the possibility that life is not just to be survived , although everything about being human is aimed at just that! Life is to be lived! When you are that person who can face any conversation or other human with power, while still accepting things just the way the are and aren't, then you are that person who (regardless of circumstances) can change the world. I invite you to consider that there is a world of being available beyond the world of knowledge, but which can sustain you to your goals in preserving knowledge against any tide or consensus of disagreement. When the early Christian church changed from it's "original" form into the "Orthodox" religion of Against Heresies , one man - we don't even know who! - buried books destined to be burnt in the Egyptian desert, preserving to our day a glimpse of Chritianity like we never previously knew it to have been. Many of the books he buried are the only copies that survived to today. It took 1,700 years, but the knowledge has returned! What difference could each of us make in the world of 1,700 years from now?

Despite this being buried in the longest Assetbar thread ever, perhaps the new INBOX will help someone find it:
Quote:
Well giving things serious thought is what young, idealistic people are supposed to do, it's true. And we should all grapple with big-picture issues more often. Conversations are mostly yelling matches on TV, when they should be mini-encounter sessions where each participant learns from the other(s) and a greater thought is created than any individua could have come up with. Perhaps we do that here once in a while.

Did you lose the Republicans at Goldwater or at Buchanan, Pogo?
For the record: I have no idea what I am, but I do fit one stereotype...as Pogo said above, everything is economics...and I vote my wallet every election. Selfish? Sure, but if I don't represent my own interests, who will? I'd love to think I could vote for someone that would make lots and lots of people's lives better, but I've never seen it happen in my lifetime.
That said, I will vote for Obama anyway, simply because I don't, with apologies to Pogo, feel the older generation has any new ideas to bring to the table (witness McCain's foreign policy guy discussing their ideas about the middle east and it basically being a rewording of the domino theory, with the same basic mistakes from 50 years ago included). Obama probably doesn't have any new ideas either, but maybe, just maybe he might. Will I vote on the chance? Yep. Oh, and I fit squarely in his tax cut demographic, did I mention I like money?

That's only one aspect. What is given by one hand is plundered by ten others. Neither one of the candidates are fiscally responsible in what they propose. Both would squander the value of the dollar, and deferred debts such that the "break" you speak of is little more than the worm on an angler fish. But like I say, this time around it's a competition to see who can be more ridiculous, and what story is used to explain it. How I wish we had a vote of no confidence available to us sometimes!

I'll leap in for just a bit to defend a bit of my industry. A very, very (usually majority) part of the USD debt goes into US companies. It is the lube that coats the shaft of the market. We don't historically charge that much out to other countries. Lately we've been reversing that, but with the flight to quality right now it won't last.

Yes. And "not even God himself could sink this ship!"
The Titanic sunk on the egos of ambitious men who thought it "too big to fail". Don't think for a second that our egos alone with sustain the current system, no matter how big. (Evangelicals would now reference Revelations 14:8 and Jeremiah 51:8 regarding another system that was "too big to fail".)
But, there may be something to be said for a reboot: all the debt goes to zero, and we start out fresh. We really could use a year of Jubilee as set forth in the law of Moses to happen about every fifty years: all the slaves freed, all the debts cleared, and everyone starts with a perfect credit rating. I think I'm watching Fight Club tonight.

These are wonderful statements, and probably true...but I am not rich enough to move out of the country yet, so I have to work with the options that are available to me now. I figure I have another 5-8 years in this country and then I'll have to move regardless of who is in power. Its a pity, I really like it here, and it will always be home, but if the opportunities are elsewhere, I owe it to my family to pursue them.

Hey Reagan was evil, but he did overthow the Soviet Union by engaging in a obscene arms war that increased global tension, promoted fascism and crimes against humanity, caused millions of nightmares for children, gave cinema a couple of new genres, and eventually, eventually, caused the bankrupcy of the Soviet Union. He didn't try to cause its downfall, but cause it he did.
Plus he popularised to Subaru Brat (Brumby).

This currently is the 8th most commented strip. It may reach the top 5 by the time the Friday strip arrives, but it is unlikely to achieve the 140% growth required to top the charts. That is not a challenge, folks. Back away from the keyboards.

Weird. I just had my TV fixed by a dude named Legion.
I enjoyed it as a unique choice for name.
Then, when I looked up the reference , I got a chill up my spine...
The devil works in TV repair!!!
...but that whole "we are many" thing is total bullshit. There was only like two of them, and they took a freakin' month and a half to fix my gorram TV. ...just sayin'.

It's called a penis, and your father can explain the rest when he gets home.
We really didn't learn how it all worked until I was in fifth grade; in catholic school, we avoid words like "orgasm" and "clitoris."
We had a unit on it in religion class called family life. And as an adult I remain disappointed that the test at the end didn't have true / phallus answers.

Get it? It's a pun. (and I managed to 'pull it off' without referring to your 'punis')

I don't know who the man who made that website is, but I think it's fair to say he could use a smile now and then.
his name is maddox and he is as full of shit as the things he lambasts for being full of shit.
He has his moments, but that much misanthropy gets grating after about five minutes.
(he would write something on a black background about how much I am a pompous douche bag for using the term 'misanthropy'. I should probably be eating meat and and shooting guns instead.)
I'm not a vegetarian, either. He would just say I should have been eating meat.
Agreed. Sometimes he is really funny, though. I really like his critiques (that's not the right word though) of children's art. But his misanthropy does get really annoying sometimes. I mean, it all seems a little fake.
He's like Carlos Mencia.
And Maddox is pretty famous by the way.
carlos mencia is a fucking asshole. he's one of those "ethnic comedians that cannot make a funny joke about anything besides race" types.
You might describe his comedy as "Mexican, anything else, I can't."
I would like to point out that anthropologists have discovered that a natural human response to wordplay is, in many cases, violence.
>>carlos mencia is a fucking asshole. he's one of those "ethnic comedians that cannot make a funny joke"
Better?
They did the exact same thing at my catholic school.
The religion teacher was an awful harpy of a bitch. She showed us videos starring a woman from the 80s, with the giant shoulder-pad jacket and terrible 80s makeup.
The woman on the video used some kind of analogy about a frog she saw get roadkilled as a child for why God is awesome and Sex is special, and the Harpy said if anyone laughed at any point during any of the lessons, we'd be sent to the principal.
I do not miss that school.
Yes, yes it is. You put very narrow presents in it for urethral stimulation .
like...like...like in that kids in sandbox video?

that sounds exactly like what a high school band would do. exactly
Sounds more computery. Our computer club wrote "blow me" in binary on their shirts. I think. Something similar. 69, maybe. Now I'm not sure.
Not as bad as our Latin Club shirts that say, "Six witnesses pay the penalty to the old woman" in Latin.
The senior class two years before mine had their graduation shirts say "Product of LSD" and then, in small writing underneath it said "Londonderry School Department."
No one of importance caught on until it was too late!
And that is why Pinkerton owns Londonderry in everything.
Except that we are building a building just for freshmen and also are apparently getting uniforms.
sje, there is a man who hates our story. I do not understand.
Probably a Vermonter.
They get jealous of us New Hampshirites easily.
Excuse me for leaving everybody outside the loop.
By the way, do you know who when the next Mack Plaque is?
It's probably soon. I think I remember it being around Halloween, at the same time as the Mack's scarecrow contest.
Maybe I'll see you there.
Also, remember that crazy duck/goose/chicken thing? It was all mutated and stuff, and could barely walk or anything. Maybe it was cross-bred. But everyone agrees that it wasn't a normal bird. It was at Mack's. It probably died years ago though.
Bah, one of my roommates last year was a Vermonter. Nothing but a whiny immature emotional alcoholic. FUCK Vermont.
... I have a Classics Dept. shirt that says "Put the testicles on the tray" in Etruscan... but that was from college .
