That's not really that strange, simply observing strange/bad things going
|
|
on around you. I do a lot of that, just watching people walk around and
|
|
talk and trying to see what motivates them.
|
|
What I would like to know is how many people always try to imagine
|
|
themselves from other peoples' points of views? What I mean is: I rarely
|
|
get mad at anyone or anything ever, because I always have too much
|
|
perspective on situations in my life. In fact, I sometimes use too much
|
|
perspective and thus fail to act on potentially threatening choices. How
|
|
common is this to other people? Do you try to "be in the other person's
|
|
shoes"?

Well, I can't say that I "try to be in the other person's shoes", but at
|
|
times I do seem to find myself there. I am not sure as to whether it is
|
|
human nature, or just my nature that I often find myself relating to other
|
|
people's situations. I would assume that my mind chooses for me to merely
|
|
be an obsrever on the scientific level, but my emotions usually take over
|
|
and put me in such a place that I am no longer an observer, but an active
|
|
participant. being that I feel I am human being with not only a brain,
|
|
but also a spirit, I can never witness a situation without being directly
|
|
affected by it, and and having that effect change my actions in the
|
|
future. I hope I made some sort of sense to which you may be able to

relate.

I think I have the opposite problem, but for the same reason. I seem to

But when you are in another's shoes, do you feel what you would

feel in the same situation, or do you actually KNOW how that person

feels. I see a huge difference between the two. Most people

Unless someone has an incredible sense of intuition and perception of

one does, I an not even sure it is possible then. I also don't feel that

In order to accomplish what you describe, two people would have to occupy
|
|
the EXACT same spot at the EXACT same time. As we all know, this is just
|
|
not possible. I think what is needed is empathy, or understanding of
|
|
another's situation. Understanding is the ability to interpret the
|
|
actions of another by knowing what information was mentally processed in
|
|
order to draw the conclusion that was arrived at. It is not, to coin a
|
|
phrase, "Monday morning quarterbacking" or second guessing.
|
|
|
|
This situation arises in the aftermath of a police-involved shooting. A
|
|
police officer makes a split-second decision on whether or not to shoot.
|
|
He is then second-guessed at the leisure of the courts and the public. I
|
|
am not saying ALL police involved shootings are justified. I am merely
|
|
saying that the facts should speak for themselves.

not...

I think I was misunderstood. I didn't just sit back and watch people

behave, I watched myself interact with them. I was paying attention to

|
myself playing different roles: anger, hatred, ignorance, etc. with
|

different people, seeing what would happen. It was less to "be in their

|
shoes" but to watch myself act as sick as them, and see how they

responded.

Funny quote I heard: "We are all unique, just like everyone else." I am

This is a really interesting topic which we have brought upon ourselves.
|
|
I'm really intrigued by everyone's responses...I must admit I was
|
|
thoroughly amused by the quote about being "unique". I do, however, fell
|
|
that each individual is, in fact, unique. We have all been exposed to
|
|
different environments which have shaped our values, opinions, and way of
|
|
thinking. Due to differences in perception among each of us individuals,
|
|
any given situation will -appear- to be the way we wish to see it.
|
|
Granted many of us have the same opinions and morals, either for similar
|
|
or different reasons, but the relaity of any situation is going to be
|
|
relative to the individuals involved. I would venture to say that almost
|
|
everything is relative...

I really have come to the conclusion that deep down inside there is very
|
|
little variation on the human plan, and what little there is gives
|
|
physical and neurochemical differences. But behavior-wise I think that we
|
|
are all predictable, very predictable, when it comes to first-circuit
|
|
emotions: hate, lust, greed, amore, blah blah. We are all programmable
|
|
little beasts, and it shows up in the patterns we program into ourselves:
|
|
cultural traits, obediance to powers that be, eating habits, bs., bs..

Well, we bought it, right? Marketing capitalizes on predictable behavior
|
|
patterns of a percentage of the consumer market, in other words, they know
|
|
what we the consumer like. And coca-cola inc. is a multi-national
|
|
company, just like pepsi, sony, merck pharmaceuticals, etc. Whole empires
|
|
are built around patterns of behavior.

Our individual socialization processes determine who and what we are.
|
|
It all depends on what we are exposed to during our lives. I don't
|
|
believe that there is a way to EXACTLY duplicate experiences, even for two
|
|
People to be exposed to the same set of circumstances. Look at the
|
|
examples of natural disasters. Some people flourish, while others fall
|
|
apart. This is despite the fact that some who flourish have no experience
|
|
with disaster while those who do, cave in to sheer stress.
|
|
|
|
Heroism in war time is anpther example. There are numerous examples of
|
|
people surviving despite of, not because of, their backgrounds. You might
|
|
want to consider this also.

OK, my philosophy on human behavior, which I hope makes some sense.
|
|
On the whole, no one feels real. We all just go through life searching
|
|
for things and feelings that make us feel more real, more solid.
|
|
Different people find different activites that remind them of their own
|
|
reality. Some people eat, some fuck, some write, some do whatever...
|
|
|
|
Again, I don't know if this is just my own unique feeling, but I always

doubt my own existence, and it would seem logical to me that the primary

motivation of my life is to find some proof that I am real. Does this

According to sociological theory, we are "blank slates" when we enter this
|
|
world. We begin to soak up experiences from the second of birth. It is
|
|
from that point that we are determined about who/why/what we are. Society
|
|
impacts on us in different ways. The people we interact with affect us
|
|
whether we want them to or not. These outside forces form and sharpen our
|
|
personalities and philosophies, and this process takes our entire lives.
|
|
|
|
Our home lives determine how we interact with others. We can learn
|
|
intolerance from our parents or we can totally reject the lifestyle that
|
|
they led. I direct your attention to the anti-establishment movement of
|
|
the late 60's and early 70's. This led to a change in attitudes among the
|
|
generation brought up by that group. This change led to the changes we
|
|
have seen up to this time.
|
|
|
|
Now we have seen a resurgence of the values held during the 1950's. This
|
|
is especially true among SOME, but not all, of the generation coming of
|
|
age now. They have rejected the lifestyles of the older generation and
|
|
adopted a more conservative lifestyle. Hence the sharply drawn political
|
|
divisions apparent today. You even show some evidence of the changes
|
|
wrought over the past twenty-five years. Do your parents have the same
|
|
opinions and attitudes that you do ? I would venture to say no.

This is true, but hardly surprising. People have always rebelled a bit
|
|
against the previous generation for some reason or other. The reason we
|
|
see so much of this in the 20th century is because change has always been
|
|
brought about by technological advances, of which this century has seen
|
|
MANY. So, as the tech progressed faster and faster, older generations
|
|
couldn't adapt and preferred the old ways, and the new kids were brought
|
|
up in the world of improved tech. This continues into our age, when we
|
|
not only have normal technology but also behavior technology, physical
|
|
technology, political technology, etc.
|
|
So, as innovation proceeds, the older people will be left behind with
|
|
their values and the new kids will take over. Not a surprise. In this
|
|
rebellion of the new, the attitudes taken on by the rbebels are not new,
|
|
though, just some rehash of mentalities from previous years. The periods
|
|
of liberalism and conservatism will cycle in waves. That's how things
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
Extra thoughts: It will be the next millenium before popular culture
|
|
reinnovates itself. We've had nothing new since the sixties. There will
|
|
never be a nostalgia movie made about the eighties (saying this after just
|
|
having watched American Graffiti and Dazed & Confused).

In your last post, you mention innovation. Yes, I would agree that it
|
|
will be a while before society will change. Yet the means to change are
|
|
with us at the present time. I have noticed on other boards here that
|
|
change is a constant subject. You have discussed these changes with other
|
|
members of the cyber-community. I would venture to say that as you grow
|
|
older, some of the changes you advocate will not seem as radical as the
|
|
ones advocated by the next generation. The changes advocated by my
|
|
generation were considered radical for their times. Some, however, that
|
|
have been implemented are considered "mainstream" today. According to the
|
|
generation coming up now, they do not go far enough. Change requires time
|
|
and a consensus, not just a slap-dash approach to problems.
|
|
|
|
Innovation, is considered heresy by some. "Why change if our system
|
|
works?", "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." These are common quotes used
|
|
to resist the innovation you so ardently strive for. Our system is geared
|
|
toward change. If change is gradual, it is tried and utilized and
|
|
adopted. If too radical, no one will even give the changes a fair
|
|
hearing. This is the beauty of our system. The Constitution has survived
|
|
for over 200 years without any major changes since the original was
|
|
passed. This only emphasizes my point that change, for the most part,
|
|
must be gradual.
|
|
|
|
Consider first the amendment that gave the vote to eighteen year olds. It
|
|
was first proposed during the height of the war in VietNam. The reasoning
|
|
behind it was that if one was old enough to die for one's country, one
|
|
should have a say in who would make the decisions on who and what to die
|
|
for. It was eventually passed for just that purpose. But the change of
|
|
mind-set was a gradual process, that took a few years. Now, the vote by
|
|
eighteen year olds is considered mainstream, not the radical proposal that
|
|
it was in the late 1960's.
|
|
|
|
Another example of change was the amendment that ended slavery in the
|
|
United States. This issue had been in the forefront of American politics
|
|
for a good fifty years before it eventually led to a civil war. Even
|
|
afterward, the ideas embodied in the basic concepts were radical and
|
|
considered heresy by some of the leading politicians of the period. It
|
|
was not until the Brown v. Board of Education decision that ALL citizens
|
|
were granted equal access to ALL facilities. Again, this was a concept
|
|
that took time to evolve.
|
|
|
|
You may be correct in thinking that there may not be a reason to make
|
|
"American Graffiti" for the 1980's. Some, however, may disagree with you
|
|
and consider that period as one of our better times. One has to look at
|
|
the entire spectrum of events that took place during that period.
|
|
National pride was emphasized and strides were made to make the US a
|
|
better nation. There were other things that were not handled very well.
|
|
Iran-Contra, AIDS, and the problem of crime come to mind. But, I feel
|
|
that we are making progress. In order to change what we do not agree
|
|
with, we must be patient. Radicals who are too strident do not get what
|
|
is needed.

In regard to American Graffiti, I probably shouldn't have put that bit in
|
|
the post. It didn't really have much to do with what I was saying
|
|
earlier. I was just thinking about how the 80's really had no culture of
|
|
their own other than the punk culture of the early eighties. Without a
|
|
common culture of the young, there couldn't be a nostalgia movie. What is
|
|
there to be nostalgic about that could be done in a movie way such that a
|
|
generation would identify with it? If there's a nostalgia movie for the
|
|
80's, it's Heathers, which is not really nostalgia.

Hmmm Mind Games, Sometimes I think this bbs is a mind game! :) I spend so
|
|
much time on here...I feel like I've really gotten to know some people.
|
|
At the same time, I have to ask myself...do I know these people at all, or
|
|
are they shadows? It's strange...I talk to you every day, and know many
|
|
things about you, and at the same time I have to wonder how much I really
|
|
DO know and if the things I know are true. The great thing about a bbs is
|
|
that you can me anyone you want on it. In real life, Cat is a mouse...but
|
|
I'm not all that shy here...Hmmm. I always like to wonder about what
|
|
people here are like in real life. Perhaps we're all not so very different
|
|
after all...Aw heck, now I'm confusing my self. But does anybody else ever

I can definitely say the same thought has crossed my mind...do we really
|
|
know the people here, or do we know a different person of the same human
|
|
being. I huess it is hard for me to say, because I can only base my
|
|
opinion on my own experiences...and the only true experience or fact I
|
|
have, is the experience of being myself both on and off the net. I can
|
|
honestly say the person you see here is no different from the person you
|
|
see in person, however, you may get to know a little more of me here a
|
|
little faster thasn you would if you had to deal with all of the outside
|
|
influences involved in a face to face encounter.
|
|
I imagine if people are genuine in their identity on the net, you
|
|
truly do get to know the person. However, if they assume another identity
|
|
then you get to know the true person as easily, if at all. Well, I have
|

bebbled enough for now. Catch you all later. :)

I agree with you Dest. The person I am here is the same person I am
|
|
in "real life" except for that Tammie isn't as outgoing as Cat is since
|
|
Tammie is a bit shy. The thing I like about yabbs is that you don't have
|
|
to worry about things like appearences and how people are viewing you and
|
|
judging you here. Our "virtual community" here at yabbs is very different
|
|
from my community at UVM. It's better in some ways, since you all are so
|
|
much more interesting to talk to than some of the people here at GroovyUV,
|
|
but it's worse in other ways, since I'm always wishing you all were here
|
|
in VT so we could hang out and chat for real. The thing that I wonder
|
|
about though is, if we all were in one room together, and had the "yabbs
|
|
convention" you always kid around about, would we be able to talk to one
|
|
another? Hmmmm. Well, I've confused myself again! :) See you later!

Well, I sure hope we would all be able to talk to each other at a "Yabbs
|
|
convention". *grin* Actually, I am 99.99% sure we would have a great
|
|
time talking to one another. I would be thriled to meet all of my frineds
|
|
here on yabbs and would probably not stop talking. After all, once we got
|
|
toegther we would be like any other friends. We could share our present
|
|
experiences, our future experiences, and look back and laugh at all the
|
|
memories we have made together. It would be just like a reunion, except
|
|
none of us have ever met before. However, this is not for everyone. I
|
|
have talked to a few people who prefer to keep the "mystery" of anonimity
|
|
and have no desire to meet the person behind the handle. So, for them it
|
|
would not be quite so easy because they aren't open to the idea of a face

idea, why not?

Also from experiance on irc, some ppl. are v. different on bbs

I feel that ppl. should create new idents on irc etc.

I see irc as the start of a real cyberspace where ppl. create idents and

interact with other identities. My self i am so much more open o

I have met several ppl that I previously only knew over the net (primarily
|
|
IRC). Even though you may have spoken to them fairly extensively before
|
|
you actually met them, I found that had very little effect on what I
|
|
thought of them later. Some people I thought were really kewl turned out
|
|
to be complete dickheads when I met them and then it becomes hard not to
|
|
let your first impressions get in the way of your net friendship .....
|
|
possible, but hard.
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, I do think the net is a good introductory service and
|
|
meeting a friend IRL can substantially benefit that friendship. Meeting a
|
|
net-friend is a bit of a gamble but a gamble I take quite happily. It
|
|
helps you to realize what that person is actually like and gives you a
|
|
more realistic outlook.

Looking back on the above two paragraphs, I just realized what a load of

crap I have written. Really it amounts to nothing. But atleast I got all

I guess you and I base uor different opinionson our own separate

|
experiences. It has been my experience that the people I meet off IRC are
|
|
very much the same as they had been in IRC. This is attributed to the
|
|
fact that these particular people were genuine in their thoughts and
|
|
actions to begin with. There were no false fronts while on IRC so there
|
|
was no need to break through a false front in person and discoverr the
|
|
person was not at all like they had once appeared. I guess if you choose
|
|
your companions wisely on the net, they may continue to be great friends
|
|
off the net. Again, this is only from my experience. I am sure
|

everyone's experiences have been and will be different, but I just thougth

I can't deny that meeting a net-friend can certainly result in a good
|
|
friendship IRL, and perhaps even has a better chance to do so than normal.
|
|
However the point I am trying to make is that you can't assume that if
|
|
you like someone on the net you will like them IRL. Over the net I don't
|
|
consiously hide anything about myself, although I do feel that I present a
|
|
slightly different front. I get a buzz out of meeting ppl IRL who I
|
|
already know over the net but I approach it with a little caution and
|
|
perhaps, common-sense (I think), just in case who I meet is not the same
|
|
as I thought.
|
|
|
|
I think most ppl will agree that it is interesting, if not good, to meet
|
|
the faces behind the words, but the difference lies in what degree they
|
|
agree with it. We could go on like this till we are blue in the face
|
|
(fingers ??) and still get no further. It really is up to the individual
|
|
- how secure they feel around others and their past experiences. So how
|
|
about some INTERESTING topics on Mind Games ... like how to subconsciously
|
|
persuade ppl to bend to your slightest desire !

Yeah, I've met a couple people through the net, and almost met a couple
|
|
more. It's generally been pretty good, but some of the people are not
|
|
really too nice. It is kinda fun to find out that the person at the other

terminal really is a person.

I'd be willing to meet people, but I know not when...

With all due respect, could we move the discussion of getting together to

the Free Association board ? It is my understanding that this particular

board is for a discussion of ourselves relative to our outlook on life and

I would like to initiate another type of discussion. Does anyone here
|
|
remember the 1960's ? I do and I have found that I miss those days of
|
|
innocence. I would like to know everyone's thoughts along those lines.
|
|
|
|
It seems that we, especially in the US, have gotten away from the ideals
|
|
of those days. Vietnam had a profound effect on all of us. I do realize
|
|
that we can never recapture those innocent times. I would just like to
|
|
discuss everyone's feelings on those times. Please feel free to post them
|
|
here so we could discuss all facets.

Dude, I think your attitude sucks! If people want to join a BBS, then all
|
|
they want is some information, and some people to talk to other than their
|
|
close friend, a different outlook from people in different areas. I like
|
|
to see new people on BBS's. If you don't like what you see, then just hit
|
|
the spacebar, nobody's forcing you to read everything! I mean, you have
|
|
the entire internet at your finger tips, if you log on and you don't like
|
|
what you see, then go somewhere else, and come back later. I'm not trying
|

It's not that, it's the talk section which suffers the most. You get lots
|
|
of kids/people with slightly less than a clue coming online and just
|
|
spouting stupid lines about fucking. I agree it gets annoying, but we
|
|
just have to deal with it. Elitism is not the solution.
|
|
To somehow tie this into mind games, has anyone else noticed how the
|
|
corrruption of the sometimes good ideas of one person is triggered by the
|
|
useless, pointless words of others?

I sometimes wish the current crop of boomers would try to recall some of
|
|
that innocence in trying to run the world. Seems like most of them have
|
|
forgotten it. Actually, that's what I like about Clinton. He appears not
|
|
to have forgotten or ignored the innocence of those years.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes I also wonder whether that decade was as great as people say. A
|
|
lot of idealizing goes on as people grow older. Was it so wonderful?

I agree with you, I really do. But the thing is they are newbies, they

don't know about that I'd like to see, and I'll be new to it. I know this

message sucks! But I'm tired! Anyhow, they need to know that if theyt

want to talk about a lot of stuff that is not in the public interest, then

they should take it into there own conference, right? They should not be

I think the current crop of "boomers" have become cynical with age. So
|
|
much has gone on since the end of the sixties that the innocence cannot be
|
|
re-claimed. A certain idealism pervaded those of us who came up during
|
|
that period. Now, all of a sudden, the idealism has gone and reality set
|
|
in. The boomers realize that there is nothing that they can do to change
|
|
basic human nature. We have become Hobbes' worst nightmare.
|
|
|
|
Any differing opinions, especially on the perception of the sixties ?

Each person, new or not, should be measured on their merits and judged

accordingly. Just coz someone is new doesn't mean they are going to be a

dickhead. We were all new once ... some still are (I am to this bbs).

Those who do make fools of themselves should be dealt with but hey, this

make him leave just by subversive pressure.
|

Deal with those who require it and don't brand people under the one name

unless you've personally spoken to that person.

I've got to agree that some Newbies go OTT on precious resources like
|
|
Yabbs... they spoil a perfectly pleasent atmosphere, and pollute it with
|
|
sometimes quite abusive comments. But surely it's only the minority
|
|
spoiling it for the majority again. And when do we define that boundary of
|
|
graduatating from newbie to xpert? Just ignore them and they'll go
|
|
away...open up a private channel and invite everyone who is half-decent
|
|
into it, and thus isolate the problem. In fact, I don't personally think
|
|
that most of the newbies are any problem whatsoever... it's some of the
|
|
xperts which BOMB Yabbs to death, and should know better. I recall a
|
|
particular incident yesterday which really irratated a lot of us...

I gotta agree with Kidd, even though I've only been on here a month later,
|
|
Yabbs has become a little less (little???) what it was waaaaaaay back in
|
|
'93... sure, I've met heaps of great ppl here, and that's my main
|
|
attraction to this place.
|
|

It just seems that the trend is that most of the trash ouor screens comes

from uninitiated ppl, who are either new to this bbs, or new to the net,

and have no idea of netiquette. You just get sick of the crap after a

I think this attitude might be preciously what is helping to screw the
|
|
board as well. Why is anyone new going to want to stick around and see
|
|
what is here if there are members of the board who seem to have been
|
|
around for a long time telling them to fuck off. I know that if I were
|
|
to join a new board and there were people acting this way I would be a
|
|
little weary of what was there.
|
|
|
|
While some of the newbies are being a pain in the ass that doesn't mean
|
|
that everyone should be a pain in the ass. Really, I say ignore the pains
|
|
and they will go away. It is still a very small segment of the total
|
|
number of people using the system these days (just for statistics sake,
|
|
there are about 150 accounts made per day for the past week, and 2546
|
|
total accounts made since Jan 1, 1994).

I have to agree with ht on this one. Cosmos, I've been here longer than

you, though I only started using the system regularly very recently. I

If you don't like the direction things are going, work to change them

constructively (and no, your method of changing things is not constructive).

Yabbs wouldn't be yabbs if it wasn't a free system. I can think of quite
|
|
a few nice people I've met who wouldn't be able to get on at all if there
|
|
were some cool eleeet test or an admissions committee cause they started
|
|
out not knowing how to run this thing. Maybe everyone didn't start out

as a newbie (some of us have had a little more netiquette training than

others), but if you sit around and say "this is my system, get off" i'm not

I agree. We should just deal with the annoyance. Eventually, the newbies
|
|
will graduate to IRC, where the compusex goes on 24-7. Just be patient
|
|
and wait and try to be accepting of the new people. I do think it's okay
|
|
to giv newbies a hard time, but don't do it through bombing, direct
|
|
insults, etc. If some new guy starts talking about his dick, make fun of
|
|
his humor and his intelligence without being abrasive. He'll (hopefully)
|
|
get the point that that sort of stuff is boring and annoying. Hope I've
|
|
made some sense.

Hi Rick! Hmmm, interesting question (and at last somebody's broken the
|
|
bloated bigotry on this board!)... Supposedly one would like to keep links
|
|
with ones heritage, thus titling themselves *origin prefix* American. I
|
|
don't think it's a case of the title "American" alone not being
|
|
sufficient... Lets face it, evreyone has a certain pride in their
|
|
origins... whether it be the state they were born in, tor the country they
|
|
originated from!

|

|
|
no, not really (my father has done the above, he was born in s. africa, and
|
|
became a US citizen in the '70s). If you look at the white culture there it
|
|
is really about the farthest thing from African, and really much more English
|
|
(at least this is what I have seen in my multiple trips to Zimbabwe). You
|
|
could argue that the culture is somewhat of a mixture of the two, but it
|
|
still isn't the much different culture of the native Africans that were
|
|
there originally.
|
|
|
|
The problem with the title of American is that it doesn't take into account
|
|
the previous history of ones culture. American culture is still largely
|
|
based on the white anglo-saxan culture of western europe, even though a
|
|
large percentage of our citizens come from other lands. African American
|
|
is a just a term that tries to accept this, and show that yes, while they
|
|
are Americans, they also realize that they orginally came from a much
|
|
different culture and would still like to understand that.

to the problem your facing, that's all. Put up a Garbage Dump board and

don't subscribe to it, just let the people take their shit there and do

To people like cosmos and Cat. I don't understand how you can have no
|
|
feelings for your heritage and your home country. I'm proud to be
|
|
Australian and that patriotism forms a large part of my life, influencing
|
|
things as major as my career.
|
|
|
|
Not everyone can be proud of their heritage, ideed some hate it and no
|
|
doubt have good reasons for that hatred., but to me, being so apathetic as
|
|
to *not care* about your country is the beginning of the end of society as
|
|
we know it .... although possibly the beginning of a singular, worldwide
|
|
society.
|
|
|
|
I wonder ... if you have no feelings for your country, do you have any
|
|
feelings for your family ? Yourself ? Life in general ? I mean,
|
|
afterall, a country is (in a way) just a larger version of a family (just
|
|
without the blood ties).

Why the fuck should I have a goddamn tie to my country like a family?? It

certainly does not deserve it. A country is a plot of land defined by

borders. I am an individual and I prize that above all else. The rest is

To Cat : Oh. I do apologise. I misunderstood what you meant.
|
|
|
|
To Cosmos : A family is merely a miniature society, defined by ties of
|
|
blood and marriage (although there are more ties to it nowdays). A
|
|
country is both the physical land and the society which exists on that
|
|
land. I just think that if nobody gives a shit about their country then
|
|
that is the start of the destrucion of society as we know it. I also feel
|
|
that apathetic attitudes such as the one you seem to display can also be
|
|
linked directly to crime rates (although don't get me wrong, I'm not
|
|
calling you a criminal).
|
|
|
|
I think it's time people did start to care again .. not only for
|
|
themselves but for their local town/city, their state, and their country.

As always comments/arguments are welcome.

I'll be the first to say that I could care less about my hereitage, hell,

I don't even know what I am. If somebody does ask me, I just say that I'm

an American. Well, then they ask "No, I didn't mean THAT, I meant your

heritage." I admire some people that get into there heritage, but then

I think this comes from part of America's 60's heritage. During that
|
|
period lots of young Americans were indoctrinated into being suspicious of
|
|
, if not hostile to, their country. This has been passed on, to some
|
|
degree, by the people of that generation, to the current one. I'm not
|
|
saying this is bad or wrong (even though I am proud to be American), just
|
|
that perhaps it comes from influential rolemodels in a person's life
|
|
(parents, teachers, etc.).

On your stance that fierce patriotism leads to wars .... well *grin* I

don't mind an odd scrap now and again and would aggressively defend my
|
|
county (Now THIS should bring a few comments *smile*).
|
|
|
|
Everyone is entitles to their own ideas on patriotism, loyalty and honor
|
|
but I feel that apathetic attitudes lead directly to social and
|
|
socio-economic breakdown.
|
|
|
|
After all ... "No man is an island" (who said that) ... and so a selfish

*I care for myself and no-one else* attitude can ultimately lead only to

destruction.

What you percieve to be your "country" is nothing but what you have been
|
|
told id your country. This comes from the state, which uses the useful
|
|
little tool of "patriotism" to legitimise its control over a population.
|
|
|
|
This is not the same as being proud of your city, family or region or
|
|
whatever. It's a nebulous concept imposed on you by others and you are
|
|
told that if necessary you must die for that concept..
|
|
|
|
You must remember that there are no self-suffiecient nations anymore. To a
|
|
greater or lesser degree, there is no "national economy" to speak of in
|
|
most nations. There is an integrated world econmoy.. From the Brazilian
|
|
coffee you drink in the morning to the table made from Malaysian wood you
|
|
rest your mug on, no country exists in isolation. When the price of iron
|
|
changes on the world commodity markets determines which families willl
|
|
eat this week and which will be left with no income as firms shift their
|
|
purchases to the cheaper option (often without knowing from where the iron

came from).

Ok, easy. When you have arrogant feelings about anything which your
|
|
rulers back, i.e. wars against other countries, that gives you all the
|
|
justification you need to do whatever you feel like to that country and
|
|
its people, i.e. rape and pillage. Pride in something other than yourself
|
|
gives you what you feel is the right to anything you please, because your
|
|
country is goddamned great, et al. Ever hear of anybody do something "for
|
|
love of God and State?" Sound familiar? Well that person is fucked in
|
|
the head not only because he/she is psychotically arrogant, but the ruling
|
|
govt. can take advantage of that as well. If you knew about the American
|
|
Army, you would know how it entices young men and women to join. Slick
|
|
commercials depicting "real men" hunting down other "bad men." Pictures
|
|
of "fame, fortune, and glory." That is, apparently if you are an

engineer on a nuclear sub, you'll have the skills to do anything in life,

anything.

As long as you have reasons for not having pride in your country (i.e. you

don't like what it's doing/becoming) then that's fine. WHat I don't

I think, if you have something to be proud of in your country/heritage,

then be proud, but there are two things to remember:
|
|
1) Don't let your pride lead you into believing that you are better than

I have been following the dabate on this base regarding Patriotism and
|
|
feelings for one's heritage. It seems that some have the two confused.
|
|
Having one does not mean they have the other. Patriotism also does NOT
|
|
mean to blindly folow what the government is saying, doing, etc.
|
|
Patriotism, to me, means to have pride in the accomplishments of our past
|
|
and to look hopefully into the future. The United States have
|
|
accomplished much for a relatively young country. We explored and
|
|
conquered a continent. Along with others, the United States developed
|
|
flight for mankind. The United States put man on the moon. Those are
|
|
accomplishments to be proud of.
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, the United States commited genocide against the Native
|
|
American peoples of that inhabited this continent long before the arrival
|
|
of the white race. The United States, with others, developed
|
|
thermonuclear devices capable of obliterating ALL human life. Couple of
|
|
things to not be real proud of. The list could be extended, but I take it
|
|
for granted that all are intelligent to get my point.
|
|
|
|
I am very patriotic. I dearly love the United States. To be told I am
|
|
"fucked in the head" is very insulting. I am also proud to have a Native
|
|
American culture to be proud of. It gives roots for me to look back on
|
|
and see how far America has come. I have served in the Armed Forces for
|
|
the United States (United States Marine Corps, class of 74). I felt at
|
|
the time, and still do, that this country was something worth fighting
|
|
for. I can understand what Steyr is saying and can empathize with him.
|
|
So, please, do not dismiss someone because they have strong feelings for
|
|
their country. As for those of you who have nothing to be proud of other
|
|
than yourselves, you have my sympathy.

way back when, you stated that the crime rate was related

to a lack of patriotism... I majored in criminology
|

and can tell you that you are way off base with that one.
|
|
If you are going to make faulty correlations, at least

supply the corresponding faulty reasoning behind them, as
|
|
you make no statements in support of that idea.
|
|
And as far as my view of patriotism (for anyone who
|
|
cares, and for those who don't :P ) I don't need it.
|
|
I accept that I have a freedom to live the way I choose
|
|
in this country within the boundaries placed on me
|
|
by the state. I am grateful for the freedom, and I accept
|
|
those boundaries. I do the best I can to survive, and
|
|
that's the best it gets in this day and age.
|
|
As for the pathetic state of the nation today, I look to the

disintegration of the family caused in part by the strains
|
|
resulting from the ever-lowering standard of living in this

|
country as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and

the middle class fights for its life. The American dream

is just about dead, and it's taking patriotism with it.

Ok, I can't argue against a criminology major coz I haven't studied it so

I will concede your point. Although I was merely making an observation

... that crime rates are higher in areas where ppl don't give a shit about

anything except themselves ... and drawing conclusions from there. That

may be wrong too but it's what I see.

I still stand by my opint though ... that the 'who gives a f***' attutide

to make statements, why don't you back them up with facts?
|
|
Otherwise, you just provide opinions, which are like...
|
|
Well, everybody has one.
|
|
If you wish to claim that crime rates are higher in areas where
|
|
people don't care about anything but themselves, then please
|
|
feel free to provide the documentation to prove it. Perhaps
|
|
I can refer you to a few criminology texts. ;)
|
|
You have already conceded that those who are unpatriotic are
|
|
not necessarily criminal, are you saying that those who are criminal
|
|
are unpatriotic? Thus areas where pride in country/community/etc.
|
|
is low would be those areas where crime is high because those are
|
|
attitudes one finds in criminals? This relates to the view
|
|
of crime as a socio-economic phenomena, perhaps you picked up on that
|
|
in my last post.
|
|
As for apathy, I don't see the problem. If everyone lived their
|
|
lives without regard to others, that would create a problem.
|
|
But I do not equate inconsideration for fellow man with political
|
|
apathy or lack of patriotism. I believe you are drawing several
|
|
faulty correlations, or at the very least misusing your terms.

I don't believe in past lives in the sense that you yourself

actually reincarnate. I do believe that the soul reincarnates.
|
|
I don't believe time to be linear in the spiritual sense, so
|

all lives occur at the same time. And thus the soul is in
|
|
many times at once. :) I know it sounds kooky but I like it.

OK then ... here's something which has rattled around my mind

occasionally.
|
|
|
|
Is the human body really a single living entity, or could we compare
|
|
ourselves to, say, a nest of ants .... with individual cells within our
|
|
body corresponding to an ant in the nest ... all working together to
|
|
achive common goals. Are we really alive or are we just an association
|
|
between cells ? Could a nest or hive of insects be considered a single
|
|
entity ?
|
|
|
|
On the other end of the scale ... perhaps we are just a tiny part of a
|
|
much larger living entity called Earth ... or perhaps the galaxy. Could
|
|
we perhaps be to the Earth as a single cell is to us ? Does the Earth
|
|
have it's own thought patterns on a level which we cannot comprehend ?
|
|
|
|
OK. Enough weirdness for one day. Let me know what you think. Am I

Are we entirely seperate from the environment or are we just "client

cells do not : why does my liver not tell me to stop drinking?

Something to do with how time slows down to zero as you approach the speed
|
|
of light; the twin on the plane ages slower *relative* to the stationary
|
|
twin, because time is different for the moving twin.
|
|

Or something like that. I have an explanation in terms of linear algebra,

but I don't understand parts of it. I think I have the gist of it right.

Lat year in my physics class we had several discussions in regards to time
|
|
and it's existence as well as effect on the world. We would sit down and
|
|
calculate all of these equations which, to me, seemed nothing more than a
|
|
bunch of made up numbers standing for made up ideas. The entire concept
|
|
of time eludes me really. I would venture to say it is entirely relative.
|
|
As with many things I have come to live by, I see time as merely an
|
|
invention of humans in effort to create order- which is a goal of most
|
|
humans on this earth. We strive for this thing called order and create
|
|
all of these vehiclews by which to acheive it. I think time is merely one
|
|
of these vehicles. Just a few thoughts to think about *smile* As always,
|
|
thanks for taking the time to listen, and to those of you who wish to
|
|
respond, thanks for your contributions of ideas.

Because of experiments in the late 1800's, it was found that the speed of
|
|
light is independent of the velocity of the instrument measuring it. So
|
|
if a spaceship travels away from the sun at 100,000 mps (miles per second)
|
|
and measures the speed of light...the result would be the familiar old
|
|
value of 186,000 mps and *not* 86,000 mps. So Einstein came up with a way
|
|
of relating changing coordinate systems in "space-time." It's known today
|
|
as his special theory of relativity.
|
|
|
|
So I'll start off with some definitions are work from there:
|
|
1) We have two nonaccelerating coordinate systems S and S' in three-space
|
|
(R^3, or 3-D). Because there is no acceleration, S' moves at a constant
|
|
velocity relative to S.
|
|
|
|
2)The corresponding axes of S and S' (x,x',y,y',z, and z') are parallel.
|
|
The origin of S' moves in the positive direction along the x-axis of S, at
|
|
a constant velocity v > 0 relative to S.
|
|
|
|
3)Two clocks C and C' are placed in space. C is placed stationary
|
|
relative to S, and C' placed stationary relative to S'. The time unit is
|
|
in seconds. At the point where the origins of S and S' are the same, the
|
|
clocks both read zero.
|
|
|
|
4)The unit of length is the light second (the distance light travels in
|
|
one second). So the speed of light (in respect to these units) is one
|
|
light second per second.
|
|
|
|
Because I'll need to use some matrix stuff, a column vector will be
|
|
written as [x1,x2,...,xn]; each component separated by a comma.

The designation of space-time coordinates involves the recognition of
|
|
position and time of an event p. p has space-time coordinates [x,y,z,t]
|
|
relative to coord-system S and clock C. p has space-time coord
|
|
[x',y',z',t'] relative to S' and clock C'.
|
|
|
|
If you can recall from linear algebra, a mapping (or linear
|
|
transformation) can be defined such that for event p at [x,y,z,t] with
|
|
respect to S and C:
|
|
|
|
T(v):R^4 -> R^4 and T(v)[x,y,z,t] = [x',y',z',t']
|
|
|
|
T(v), read T sub v, is one-to-one and onto. That is, each value in the
|
|
domain has a unique value in the range, and each value in the domain is
|
|
guaranteed an "image" or a transformation, from T(v).

There are some assumptions about T(v) that Einstein used, called the
|
|
"axioms of the Special Theory of Relativity."
|
|
|
|
(R1) The speed of any light beam, when measured in either coordinate
|
|
system using a clock stationary to its coord. system, is 1.
|
|
|
|
(R2) T(v) is an isomorphism. (meaning basically that T(v) is invertible;
|
|
it has an inverse matrix)
|
|
|
|
(R3) For any [x, y, z, t] in R^4,
|
|
If T(v)[x, y, z, t] = [x', y', z', t'], then y' = y, and z' = z.
|
|
|
|
(R4) For T(v)[x, y, z, t] = [x', y', z', t'],
|
|
x' and t' are independent of y and z. This means if:
|
|
T(v)[x, y1, z1, t] = [x', y', z', t'] and if
|
|
T(v)[x, y2, z2, t] = [x'', y'', z'', t''] then
|
|
x'' = x' and t'' = t'.
|
|
|
|
(R5) The origin of S moves in the neg. direction of the x'-axis of S'
|
|
at constant velocity -v < 0 as measured from S'.
|
|
|
|
So, consider the instant the origins of S and S' coincide, and say that a
|
|
flash of light is emitted from the twocommon origins. The event of the
|
|
light flash when measured with respect to either S and C or S' and C' has
|
|
space-time coord. [0, 0, 0, 0].
|
|
|
|
Let P be the set of all events whose space-time coord. equal [x, y, z, t]
|
|
relative to S and C, such that the flash is observable from [x, y, z] at
|
|
the time t. Since the speed of light was defined as 1, at any time t >= 0
|
|
the light flash is obserrvable from any point with distance d
|
|
(sorry lag there)...from any point with distance t times 1, which equals
|
|
t. These points correspond to x-y-z sphere points with radius t with a
|
|
center at the origin. This satisfies the equation x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = t^2.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, an event lies in P if and only if its space-time coord. satisfy
|
|
the equation x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - t^2 = 0, relative to S and C. The same can
|
|
be said for event P relative to S' and C': it must satisfy the equation
|
|
(x')^2 + (y')^2 + (z')^2 - (t')^2 = 0.

Now the theory gets into inner product spaces...
|
|
|
|
1 second after the origins of S and S' coincide, the space-time
|
|
coordinates of S' (moving along the x-axis at velocity v), relative to S
|
|
and C are [v, 0, 0, 1]. The space-time coord. for the origin of S'
|
|
relative to S' and C' is [0, 0, 0, t'] for t' > 0.
|
|
|
|
Therefore T(v)[v, 0, 0, 1] = [0, 0, 0, t'] for some t' > 0.
|
|
|
|
Let A = { 1 0 0 0 }
|
|
{ 0 1 0 0 }
|
|
{ 0 0 1 0 }
|
|
{ 0 0 0 -1 }, this matrix acts as a basis for the sphere equation
|
|
earlier. On theory, T*(v) L(A) T(v) = L(A)).
|
|
, so...
|
|
|
|
<T*(v) L(A) T(v) [v, 0, 0, 1], [v, 0, 0, 1]> =
|
|
<L(A) [v, 0, 0, 1], [v, 0, 0, 1]> = v^2 - 1
|
|
|
|
also...
|
|
|
|
<T*(v) L(A) T(v) [v, 0, 0, 1], [v, 0, 0, 1]> =
|
|
<L(A) T(v) [v, 0, 0, 1], T(v) [v, 0, 0, 1]>
|
|
|
|
by definition of adjoint transformations in inner product spaces, which
|
|
equals...
|
|
= <L(A)[0, 0, 0, t'], [0, 0, 0, t']> = -(t')^2
|
|
|
|
So v^2 - 1 = -(t')^2, or t' = (1- v^2) ^(1/2)
|
|
|
|
Conclussion next...

So... T(v)[v, 0, 0, 1] = [0, 0, 0, (1-v^2)^.5]
|
|
|
|
Measuring S and C in terms of S' and C' 1 second after the origins
|
|
coincide, there exists a time t'' > 0 on C' such that
|
|
|
|
T(v)[0, 0, 0, 1] = [-vt'', 0, 0, t''] and using the same techniques as
|
|
above,
|
|
|
|
t'' = 1/ (1-v^2)^.5
|
|
|
|
so T(v)[0, 0, 0, 1] = [ -v/(1 - v^2)^.5, 0, 0, 1/(1-v^2)^.5]
|
|
|
|
TIME CONTRACTION: this is the basis for my point about the twins...
|
|
|
|
Say the origin of S' corresponds to the twin on the plane, and the origin
|
|
of S corresponds to the stationary twin. Start them off at the same
|
|
point, so that their origins and their clocks both read zero at point of
|
|
departure.
|
|
|
|
As viewed from S, the space-time coord. of the plane at t > 0 measured by
|
|
C are [vt, 0, 0, t]. From S' the s-t coord. of the plane at t > 0 is
|
|
measured by [0, 0, 0, t']. The two sets of points describe the same
|
|
event, so T(v)[vt, 0, 0, t] = [0, 0, 0, t']
|
|
|
|
T(v) = { 1/(1-v^2)^.5 0 0 -v/(1-v^2)^.5 }
|
|
{ 0 1 0 0 }
|
|
{ 0 0 1 0 }
|
|
{-v/(1-v^2)^.5 0 0 1/(1-v^2)^.5 }
|
|
|
|
After matrix multiplication... t' = t(1-v^2)^.5
|
|
|
|
So the time on the plane whic h the twin experiences, t', is some fraction
|
|
of the time, t, which the stationary twin experiences. So the plane twni
|
|
leaves the plane younger than the twin who stayed still.
|
|
|
|
That's about it! Phew!

How about simply saying 'moving clocks run slower'?
|
|
The moving twin experienced an acceleration which slowed it's
|
|
'clock' relative to the stationary twin. Thus the moving twin would
|
|
age more slowly until deacceleration which would return the moving
|
|
twin's 'clock' to the same rate (certainly not time) as the stationary
|
|
one.
|
|
Thus the descrepancy in age upon return. The Lorentz transformations you
|
|
explained in great deal are correct but confusing to the non-physics
|
|
type. Hopefully this intuitive explanation will clarify it.

|
|
Is love chemical, mental or both...or neither. And do you believe in
|
|
the concept that two people can be meant for each other, or do you think
|
|
any couple can have love if they work at it hard enough. I guess this

might also get into the ideas of fate and "destiny"...I'm -really-

Interesting topic. :) Hmmm. I'm not sure about love being chemical, that
|
|
sounds so unromantic, even if it is true I guess. I don't think that any
|
|
old couple can fall in love if they work hard enough at it. I know little
|
|
about love, but I don't think it's something that you can force or hope to
|
|
achieve as time passes. Hmmm.
|
|
I alos think love is a nice idea and a great word, but too many people
|
|
throw it around these days like it was meaningless, or get it confused
|
|
with other words. Hmm. As to love in regards of fate and "destiny" ;)
|
|
I think fate plays an element in it. Can a person chose who thaey fall in
|
|
love with, or do they just love inspite of themselves?
|
|
Also, do you think that a person can stop loving someone they loved? I
|
|
always wondered about that. I think that love and hate are alot alkie. So
|
|
many times, when someone has been hurt by someone they loved, that love
|
|
turns into hate. Or so I've noticed and been told. As I said, I klnow
|

little about love, but being an English major, I find it safe to say that

is makes a great theme in lit! :)

That is how the world operates when it comes to love. ideally, fidelity is

not meant for humans. humans like animals have basic instincts that they

can not stay with one spouse. it is not right that humans fall inlove

with one person, it is not fated. we all have animal instincts to be with

more than one person. fate plays a major role in love, it has to because i

wonder that if i die life wil just end... just like that. no explanation

of our purpose for life, just a blank screen. like pulling the cord of the

As for whether one is destined for one true love, my opinion is
|
|
that you plan your life before you are born and that you plan
|
|
to be with certain people. Now, when you get here, all may not
|
|
go according to plan, but you start off with one anyway.
|
|
(I know, we New Agers are a strange crew.) So some people plan to
|
|
be with a certain person in this life and some don't.
|
|
So there is no real answer to the question, it's an idividual choice,
|
|
as is the rest of your life.
|
|
|
|
As for what happens after death, I won't say anything cuz I don't
|
|
want to be called a liar. ;)

hmm...about love
|
|
|
|
Well, the scientific part of me would say that its a bunch of chemicals
|
|
getting together and partying in the head, and that those chemicals were
|
|
programmed to come together by evolution. But some folks out there will
|
|
call me a heartless bastard; an amoral scientist doomed to create the next
|
|
version of the a-bomb...
|
|
|
|
So the philosophic part of me would say its looking for the best in others
|
|
and, likewise in ones self. Looking for the beatific vision I suppose it
|
|
could be called. But some folks would say I'm full of it.
|
|
|
|
Then the smart ass part of me would read all the definitions of love
|
|
people come up with, and say that there is so much unknown about it, that
|
|
noone really has any idea what it is, so it's pointless to bicker about
|
|
each individual definition...
|
|
|
|
but it's late so I won't say that... :)

Just FYI. Scientists and doctors have isolated chemicals which flow in
|
|
the blood stream of people in love. Studies show that these chemical
|
|
slowly dissipate over about ten years. Relationships that last this long
|
|
are ussually characterized by friendship love more than sexual
|
|
attraction. This research also lends credence to the so called seven year
|
|
itch, although it suggests that it be renamed. Sorry to all you out
|
|
there who take a more philosophical perspective to these things. As
|
|
some small consolation let me suggest that like most things to do with the
|
|
body and its chemicals, there is no way how these results are affected by
|
|
other variables. Still and all, It is rather intersting is it not? (query:
|
|
What about love potions made from these chemicals. )
|
|
|
|
Concering death: When you consider that there is no way to know what
|
|
exists after death nad there is no way to find out, it seems rather
|
|
pointless to me to speculate. If you concern yourself with living then
|
|
what goes on in the after will work itslf out, and if it doesn't you
|
|
wouldn't be able to affect it anyway. Just to really stir up the bees,
|
|
let me also suggest that this same logic can be used to undermine the
|
|
teachings of virtually every religion in the world. The purpose of
|
|
religion is to give us guidelines to follow in life in order to ensure a
|
|
good afterlife. Death is the underlying cause and religion is the
|
|
effect. The sheer diversity of religions on this biosphere is proof
|
|
enough that one single faith doesn't holds all the cards. Every one of
|
|
them is a speculation and noone can prove them can their right. Well, I
|
|
hope noone takes offence to my rantings. These are just my opinions and I
|
|
welcome any comment.

Now that's the most sensible thing I've read in ages... hehehe no shit,

death experience I don't want to come out of...

Seriously, I welcome all research into what makes things tick in this
|
|
world of ours,... but I fear the potential consequences that is born from
|
|
research.
|
|
I don't like the "stand over" attitude that
|
|
some ppl have in relation to what's right and wrong, especially when
|
|
it comes to love and relationships.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps its jealousy, or the tall poppy syndrome, or just cold
|
|
heartedness. No one has the right to decide what is a love and its quality
|
|
between two or more people, except those who are involved in that
|
|
particular love. There are a lot of big mouths and small brains in this

|
world... if only they reversed that, listened and thought a bit more...
|
|
|
|
...they would stop before they hurt something
|
|
as beautiful as love.

Do the chemicals come first or the love?

Which is the cause and which the effect?

That is the important issue, don't you think?

As for religion, I think you might study a few before making such

the use of chemicals (perfumes, deoderants, aftershaves, for example) to

mask or obliterate normal human stench... he said if we have anything in

This book has always intrigued me and made me think about things that

wouldn't normally cross my mind. As much as I love cologne, I thought I

might change the topic and interject with an excerpt from this book. So,
|
|
here you have it, a question for you all to ponder:
|
|
#75 Do you find emotional or physical pain more difficult to handle?
|
|
For example, would you suffer more by going through life afflicted with
|
|
sever, recurring nightmares, or by having your heart broken again and
|
|
again?
|
|
Feel free to respond or just to think about it. Talk to you all soon

neither of those are physical pain.

been through some terrible relationships... I have been through family

problems ... and many other things. No matter how I hurt myself physical

I concur with the general opinion. I'm much rather deal with physical
|
|
pain. Emotional pain stays in your mind long after physical pain goues
|
|
away because emotional pain is much more personal. As to nightmares, they
|
|
only last for a little while, and only when you're sleeping. And usually
|
|
they're brought on by emotional pain. But I'd rather not have to have
|
|
an pain at all. I have a hang up about pain. It hurts. :)

I find that from my perspective that emotional would be harder to handle.

I did hurdling for 6 year and found that physical pain is highly over-

rated.

I, for one, must disagree with the general opinion.
|
|
I hate physical pain. At least emotional pain I can to some
|
|
extent influence with my thoughts. Physical pain is not something
|
|
I can control. (I can't take most drugs as I am allergic to them.)
|
|
Having said that, I would rather experience a broken heart then a
|
|
broken arm. A broken heart means that I am alive, that I am
|
|
living, and that I was able to love. A broken arm is just stupid
|
|
pain.

Why hide from emotions? I spent a many years of my life

without feeling any emotions. It gets to the point that

you'd rather feel pain than nothing, at least then you know

The human mind and heart are the strangest things in the entire world. I
|

wonder though, anbout rather feeling pain than nothing. Lots of folks
|
|
would rather feel nothing, when the pain gets too intense. That's why Dr.
|
|
Kevorkian and suicides exist. Lots of folks would rather chance
|
|
nothingness. No me, because I like knowing I'm still here and not in a

|
|
never been in the nothingness, so I wouldn't know for sure. :)

People commit suicide for a lot of reasons.
|
|
With older people it may be out of physical pain.
|
|
And for others it is from overwhelming emotional pain.
|

And for some it's because there is nothing left, not even feelings.

Then, some people commit suicide in order to relieve a burden on their
|
|
families. This is the case in some illnesses. The actor feels that they
|
|
are a burden on their loved ones and decide that, for the benefit of all,
|
|
they should end their life. They make this decision on their own and fail
|
|
to see the consequences of their act. They do not see the pain,
|
|
recriminations, and anger that they leave behind.
|
|
|
|
Especially painful is the question of teen suicide. They see suicide as
|
|
another plane of existence. The families are left to deal with the
|
|
questions of "why didn't they talk to me," and "what was going through
|
|
their head at the time." The teen actor may feel left out, may have had a
|
|
failed relationship, anything. They may see it as a way to get attention,
|
|
a call for help. They do not see dead as dead.

I know with some teen suicide, its like the only way out of a terrible

life is at lost anyway, so you have no motivation to continue.

its not just pain that drives kids over the edge...whether it be physical
|
|
or emotional, and some kids may not be seeking to leave an imprint on the
|
|
lives of those they leave behind.... they just want to get the screw out
|

of there. To them, life only gets worse.. so why the hell continue?

Personally, I just can't see the justification for suicide. Especially

|
teen suicide. I do agree that your arguement has merit. On investigating
|
|
these tragedies, the actor leaves clues that lend credence to your
|
|
argument. I just cannot see why they won't seek help of some kind. The

person that ends their life just may have been the one to discover the

cure for AIDS or any number of killer diseases. They may be the one to

make a real difference in this world. I would just like to have more

If I read you correctly, your argument is that suicide, and
|
|
esp. teen suicide, is a waste of a potentially productive and
|
|
happy life. I have to say that in some cases this could be the
|
|
case, and the unsuccessful suicide attempts of people who fit
|
|
into this category give merit to that argument. But what
|
|
about those who have to endure incredible emotional and
|
|
psychological pain? Who are we to judge what another human
|
|
should go through? Is it enough to say that one day it may get
|
|
better? What if it doesn't? I think that people in pain often
|
|
end up taking it out on others. I for one can tell you that I
|
|
lived in hell for four years because of a mentally disturbed father
|
|
who had himself been abused as a child. He committed suicide.
|
|
And I can honestly say that my life would have continued to be
|
|
a living hell had he lived, and that any potential I had would
|
|
have been crushed, just as his was. While I won't say that
|
|
his comitting suicide was right or wrong, I will say that in
|
|
taking his life, he saved those of his three children.
|
|
(Think about it, some people who commit suicide are future
|
|
murderers and criminals, can we judge the correctness or incorrectness
|
|
of this act by future possibilites?)

I can tell you (from personal experience) that there just doesn't seem
|
|
like there is any help. Life looks horrible, and they usually don't see
|
|
any way for it to improve. It is a tragic thing when someone takes their

|
own life, but many times it isn't just a "desperate plea for help."

I question your use of the word "actor". Suicide isn't just some drama
|
|
someone puts on to get attention.
|
|
If someone wants to be dead rather than living, something must be really
|
|
wrong in their lives. Actors are performers, puting on a show for
|
|
entertainment purposes, you can hardly use that word to describe someone
|
|
who is suicidal. That's kinda cynical, don't you think?

But whatever way you look at it though, its still a terrible element in

Rob, potential suiciders kinda get narrow minded. Only the lucky ones who

have either the support and guidance of their families, or who just make a

last min correction to their state of mind will live.
|
|
|

than otherwise... so there's always a good and bad side of it.

I chose the word actor, instead of victim, because I do not see them as

the "victim." In this context, they are doing something, as opposed to

I've been thinking lately (please spare any stupid jokes...) and maybe

it's just me, but does society seem to be getting MUCH too complicated
|
|
for its own good? There seems to be a natural balance of activities and
|
|
ways that people spend their time that is necessary to keep your
|
|
sanity, and that balance seems to still be there, but things are piled
|
|
higher and higher on each side of all the axes, so that it's coming
|
|
close to collapsing altogether. (did that make any sense?)
|
|
to simplify a bit: lets say that one of the axis is between recreation
|
|
time and working time. people come up with all these ways to decrease
|
|
working time (mostly through technology), so that there will be more
|
|
recreation time. but then because of all these new things being invented,
|
|
it takes more working time to develop them... and then this turns into an
|
|
industry that didn't exist before, which has to maintain a balance of its
|
|
own, which takes more working time to complete. And then people figure
|
|
out ways to reduce this, and the cycle continues.
|
|
so many things are artificial - economy, industry, fashion, many types
|
|
of modern entertainment... and they are all interdependent. if people
|
|
could just "peel off" all these layers, we could return to a much simpler
|
|
way of life, possibly without sacrificing many of the benefits of
|
|
technology. As long as the things we discarded were on opposite sides of
|
|
the axes, the balance would still be maintained, but we would be one
|
|
level closer to a much simpler lifestyle.
|
|
if you have any clue as to what i mean, lemme know. this is just an
|
|
idea
|
|
that i've been throwing around. i have a strange relationship with
|
|
technology - i love playing with it and learning about it (i'm a comp
|
|
sci major), it fascinates me, but the direction that it seems to be
|
|
taking in society just doesn't appeal to me. a strange dilemma!

Society and technology are what we make them. You have to learn to take
|
|
things with a grain of salt because if you don't things will get even more
|
|
|
|
complicated than they already are. I do however agree with you about the
|
|
layers that we as a society have surrounded ourselves with. We have
|
|
taken technology for granted and we've learned to depend on other things
|
|
to do what used to be part of a job. When there weren't microwaves people
|
|
would actually use the stove to cook a meal. When there weren't copiers
|
|
carbon paper worked perfectly. When there weren't computers people used
|
|
old fashion typewriters to do what they had to do. When there wasn't
|
|
e-mail people used the post office or the telephone. When there wasn't
|
|
the telephone people used the mail or a messanger. Because we have all
|
|
of these things at our disposal, we are becoming lazier and lazier. The
|
|
thing about all this is that we don't want to get rid of it or forfget
|
|
that it was ever here because then we would be living the life of the
|
|
stone ages. We have become too dependant on technology and we need to
|
|
realize that or we will keep getting lazier and sooner or later we won't
|
|
even be communicating.
|
|
You made a very good point. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

i guess what made me think of that was this article on muds, how people
|
|
with bad social skills are using muds, irc and the like (here?) to
|
|
learn to communicate... and then what happens when they get out of
|
|
the computer lab? i found myself doing this last year, when i realized
|
|
that i was totally different online then in person, so i've been
|
|
trying to do more "live" stuff. but more and more people seem to be
|
|
just living behind a keyboard now, and it's kinda scary. some people,
|
|
esp. companies, seem to like this idea of living without ever leaving
|
|
your home, but is that really living at all? i don't think any amount
|
|
of technology can replace the feeling of being alive i get when i go
|
|
camping with a bunch of friends, the most high-tech thing there being
|
|
a little coleman stove, or even just going mountain biking or hiking
|
|
for a day. and even then a lot of people seem to like that kind of thing
|
|
for a while but then "can't wait to get back", but a lot of times i feel
|
|
like i'd rather live like that. or maybe somewhere in between. it's
|
|
just so much more simple, more real... or maybe i'm just rambling...

I don't really think life is any more complicated now than it ever used to
|
|
be. The flow of technology through our lives is basically the same as it
|
|
was in about 1920 or so. It's just that the levels are so much higher
|
|
that we think things must be more complex and therefore our lives are just
|
|
being disturbed by everything.
|
|
Personally, I like a complex and confused life. It's much more
|
|
interesting and thought-provoking than a simple, peaceful life.

I have to agree with you there, a peaceful life is kinda boring. I came from

a small town in Northeast Nebraska (about 1100 people) and find life more

|
interesting since I have moved to Lincoln, NE I have gotten on to the internet
|

cheated and left my girlfriend and my life is no longer a dull exsistance

*forgive me they never taught me how to spell* I guess a life full of complex

problems and no solutions is where I want to live *internet is a nice home*

Hi buzz.. I share some of your attitudes.I've noticed the same thing, and
|
|
especially in my own life. I admit, i am not the "best" socially.. and IRC
|
|
is a place to run to and hide away from the rest of the world, and yet..
|
|
still be a part of the world (as they are sooo many people here.. it must
|
|
count for a big chunk of the population :) Personally, I have gained a lot
|
|
of support here, have been enabled to speak my view and actually work at
|
|
my argumentative skills ( one point i am definetally not good at in real
|
|
life.. :( ) I feel I've gained a whole lot of confidence, I know of it
|
|
just grows within myself, but it needed to be planted and my IRC friends
|
|
(sorry.. internet friends :) have helped a lot. I AM a better person since
|
|
coming in contact with the internet, and of course - it is GREAT FUN! :)
|
|
Another point, along the lines that you touched upon, is your reference to
|
|
the great outdoors. I know or myself, that I appreciate being outside SO
|
|
much more nowadays. It is as a result of being cooped up in a small room,
|
|
glaring at these little computer screen, that this has come about. But it
|
|
HAS come about and that is the point.

Subject: Role-playing Addiction
|
|
|
|
Washington Post Staff Writer John Schwartz has published a moving and
|
|
insightful article entitled, "Game Boy." It explores the life and death of
|
|
an eighteen year old man addicted to cyberspace role-playing. I have asked
|
|
Mr Schwartz for permission to post the original article in its entirety. For
|
|
the time being, here's a brief summary.
|
|
|
|
<<begin summary>>
|
|
|
|
Nathaniel Davenport was an unassertive, socially-isolated teenager who did
|
|
poorly in high school but had excellent S.A.T. scores. He entered the
|
|
University of California at Santa Cruz autumn 92 and quickly became active in
|
|
AmberMUSH, a M.U.D. (multi-user dimension) loosely based on the _Amber_
|
|
stories of Roger Zelazny. AmberMUSH "features a series of mirrors that you
|
|
walk through into different elaborate fictional situations: One is the ruins
|
|
of a city; another a rowdy Western town; a third, the smoky darkness of the
|
|
"World's End Bar," a cross-dimensional speakeasy. Wherever you go, other
|
|
players are there, gathered from around the world to engage in a collective
|
|
fantasy; you converse with whoever is in the `room' you are in at the time,
|
|
something like a pickup game in basketball."
|
|
|
|
Nathaniel became a M.U.D. addict. He was asked to leave his university
|
|
because he had missed all of his classes while living in AmberMUSH. Back in
|
|
Virginia, he continued his addiction through student terminals at George
|
|
Mason University, where he would spend entire days interacting with other
|
|
role players from around the world.
|
|
|
|
Nathaniel's persona in AmberMUSH was Sabbath, a beautiful seductress devoid
|
|
of empathy for the characters she manipulated. For example, she spent months
|
|
seducing another character, only to goad him to his death in a battle with a
|
|
more powerful character.
|
|
|
|
After bitter arguments with his family, Nathaniel agreed to get a job. He
|
|
began working at a computer company from 5 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. He incorporated
|
|
his new job into his frenetic role-playing life by skimping on sleep. A week
|
|
after starting work, he apparently fell asleep at the wheel of his mother's
|
|
car and smashed head-on into a truck. He died instantly.
|
|
|
|
When Nathaniel's father sent out requests for correspondence on the Internet,
|
|
addressing the AmberMUSH users his son had spent so much of his life with, he
|
|
was astonished at the volume and quality of the responses.
|
|
|
|
Over time, Tom Davenport came to believe that Nathaniel's interactions were
|
|
not futile game-playing or pornographic flirting. "[I]n his quest to better
|
|
himself, Nathaniel had also turned to the tool he was most comfortable with:
|
|
He was using his character to explore social interactions, to learn to be
|
|
funny, charming, direct. `He was using the net,' says Davenport, `to work out
|
|
his life.'"
|
|
|
|
"Contacted via e-mail, AmberMUSH administrator Mark Grundy said the death of
|
|
Nathaniel Davenport has made him think hard about players' responsibility to
|
|
one another in the on-line society. `The future for human relationships in
|
|
the Communication Age seems particularly uncertain,' Grundy wrote. `For me,
|
|
the lesson that Tom has taught is that the answers can come, if you look for
|
|
them with the right heart.'"
|
|
|
|
<<end summary>>
|
|
|
|
This young man, isolated from a local community, unhappy in his own skin,
|
|
found happiness as a different person in a different world. The pity is that
|
|
he lost touch with his own body's needs.
|
|
|
|
Like a rat on an endorphin high, poor Nathaniel died from addiction to his
|
|
own form of satisfaction. Should we shrug and dismiss his death? "It's his
|
|
problem--he was free to act as he chose." Surely, but could anyone in his
|
|
cyberspace community have helped avoid this sad end, crushed uselessly at the
|
|
age of 18? I wonder if cyberspace role-players will reach out to accept and
|
|
support the tangible person behind the electronic persona? Would it have
|
|
helped if someone had asked how Nathaniel was doing instead of focusing only
|
|
on Sabbath?
|
|
|
|
As human beings interact electronically, we will be forced to integrate
|
|
morality and reason into cyberspace. Cyberspace must not remain a moral
|
|
vacuum; common sense must grow to encompass all the ways we now have to touch
|
|
other people's lives and alter our own.

Anyway, the first thing that I thought of when reading that was yabbs. One of
|
|
my biggest concerns in running this system is that it becomes easy for people
|
|
to see this as so much of an alternate reality that they forget about real life
|
|
and stuff. Sometimes I wonder if I am being socially responsible running a
|
|
system like this, where I know that some people spend so much time that it
|
|
hurts their grades in school, and probably doesn't help in other aspects of
|
|
their life either. On the other hand I know that a lot of people have met
|
|
very close friends on here (I've met some really great people as well), and
|
|
that this wouldn't happen if the system didn't exist.
|
|
|
|
I guess that I become worried that someone may become so addicted to the type
|
|
of computer interaction with people found here and on other systems that they
|
|
will loose touch with what is really out there. Computer interaction is so
|
|
weird because while it is still a form of communication, like the phone or
|
|
parties or whatever, it creates a layer of abstraction that very few other
|
|
mediums do. You can present yourself however you want, because it is pretty
|
|
likely that no one on the other side knows you. Its easy to change anything,
|
|
sex, religion, culture, or even just small things, like presenting yourself
|
|
in a little more flirtous way than you normally would (I know that a lot of
|
|
people are more open when talking on a computer, myself included, because
|
|
it can seem so abstract to think that other people may be on the other side).
|
|
|
|
But what if people go into it too deep? What causes that to happen (and it
|
|
happens a lot. MUDs and IRC and systems like this are becoming banned in a
|
|
lot of places because schools are worried about the amount of time spent
|
|
behind them). Who's fault is it when it happens? I am being socially
|
|
unresonsable running a system like this? If I see that someone is spending
|
|
so much time on something like this should I try and see if anything is wrong?
|
|

A lot of times I jokingly say "hey, no failing classes because of yabbs," but
|
|
it is something that truely bothers me. I guess I wonder what other people
|
|
think of these problems.

Originally I was going to post this to the IRC/MUD/bbs base, but people here

I picked this book up last night and I stayed until 4 in the morning to

finish it... It's called _The Handmaid's Tale_ by Margaret Atwood, and
|
|
it's about this woman who is turned into a baby machine by the
|
|
totalitarian monotheist State which used to be the United States. Very
|
|
weird and enthralling book. Very feminist too, which was a twist from the
|

other books about totalitiarianism, which take power from the man's POV...
|

very interesting.

I think it is made even more scary by how extremely possible that future

is. While 1984 and others show worlds that are strange to our eyes, The
|
|
Handmaid's Tale is immediate and familiar, so it's more dangerous.
|
|
Oh, I think it's actually supposed to be Canada, not the US. Atwood is
|
|
Canadian. The book was also made into a fairly good movie, too.

I read that article. Nothing in it really surprised me, though. The
|
|
whole explanation of the guy's infatuation with the online world seemed,
|
|
if not typical, at least easily understandable. The reporter treated the
|
|
material fairly, without babying and sensationalizing the subject.
|

For some reason, though, it just didn't interest me that much. I suppose

I take the life-like atmosphere of the Net for granted. Tragedy occurs

everywhere, so why not here?

Not that I'm a psychology wiz, but I have to ask after reading that
|
|
article, where was Nathaniel? What did we really know about him?
|
|
We don't know why he was shy and socially isolated. We don't know
|
|
what in his background left him vulnerable to the MUDaddiction.
|
|
I think to look only at the MUD as the cause of his death is absurb.
|
|
The MUD was the symptom, not the disease. While I agree that being
|
|
moral and reasonable in cyberspace is a nice ideal, let's face the
|
|
fact that as merely another aspect of human existence, why expect it to
|
|
be any more perfect. There are a range of personalities on the net
|
|
just as in the real world. To expect them to all stick to a moral
|
|
code is unrealistic. As for netaddiction in and of itself, it really
|
|
has many differenyt levels. I used to spend hours on BBS's, and I'll
|
|
admit that my grades might have suffered because of it, but luckily
|
|
they didn't. But I told people that BBS's are like my TV, I don't
|
|
sit mindnumb in front of a TV for hours every night. If I had not been
|
|
BBSing for hours, I seriously doubt that I would have been doing my
|
|
homework. The BBS would not have been to blaim. I think the
|
|
first question that should be asked if the time on BBS's/MUD's get
|
|
out of hand is, "What are you not getting in your real life that
|
|
you get here?" Just a thought.

The book talked about the President's assasination and the Congress being

machine-gunned. Also, some people were trying to cross the Canadian-US

Okay, it would seem pretty obvious that someone who spent an

overwhelming amount of time would have reasons for doing so. But should
|
|
we worry? If the reasons are destructive, yes I suppose we should
|
|
worry. If I decide that I am so unattractive that I can not show my
|
|
face in public, and thus only interact through a BBS, I would see that
|
|
as a cause for worry. But if I used to spend 8 hours a day watching tv
|
|
and now I spend 8 hours a day on yabbs, well that more a trade-off
|
|
on how I spend my time. I guess what I am saying is that the motives
|
|
are different for different people, and I don't know if we should
|
|
pry into other's lives by asking them why they are here so much,
|
|
as I personally would find that offensive. But if I felt that I had
|
|
built a friendship with someone on a BBS, and I knew that their

|
reasons for being on one for 8, 10, 15 hours a day were unhealthy,
|
|
then I might feel comfortable enough with them to go ahead and discuss

it. But as for judging other people on the basis of how they

|
spend their time and live their lives, I don't think that's appropriate.

Here its very simple, you *can't* abuse your account because you are
|
|
charged a lot for using peak time (i.e. business hours) so if you mud 7+
|
|
hours a day, you are mudding at 1 or 2 in the morning, in which case you

would be kicked out fast if your schedule revolved around muds (because

Hmmm. Sounds like a good idea to me. I'd hate to see my school start to
|

put restrictions on the Net, but for some people I know that might

actually help. I have a friend who spent three weeks this semester living

on a MUD and only coming out of his room for meals. We were all

concerned, but he snapped out of it after mid-sem grades came out and his

parents saw them. They took his 'puter away. Now he only spends half his

time on the MUD because the labs here close at 12. :)

Our school itself doesn't have any set Net limits. Technically, no one is

|
supposed to be using the cluster computers for MUD's and MUSHes, but no
|
|
one enforces this rule I agree though with what you said. Those that are

on MUDs all the time will be able to find ways to beat the system and get

there anyway, and the only people those limits will hurt are the ones

that aren't over-using the system.

Natalie,
|

For years people have made an effort to try and define themselves to other
|
|
people in the hopes that these people would better understand them. What
|
|
they failed to realize is it really doesn't matter what other people think
|
|
of you because there is no one in this world who is ever going to
|
|
understand you. I always let peopele perceive me any way they like
|
|
because it all comes down to what I think of myself. There is no law that
|
|
says that you have to let people know what you are about because if that
|
|
were the caseI would have been in a lot of trouble by now.
|

Just keep being yourself and let everyone else try and figure you out

instead of explaining what you do and why you do it.

Nat, I agree. Boundaries suck. How can families, or friends or anyone try
|
|
to put a label on someoen else, or to try and box someone in...I

personally have no idea who I am myself, so I hardly think anyone else

around famileis and what they say to you. Usually they mean well, but

sometimes they get so caught up in trying to live through their children,
|
|
or whatever, that they lose sight of who their children are, or forget

that they aren't children anymore...sheesh, now I'm confusing me, but

It's not real great to label people, but it is interesting and helpful to
|
|
trry labeling, then examine how and why those labels fail to apply. In that
|
|
way, labeling isn't the big evil it's made out to be.

classify. the majority of times that this is down is on objects where
|
|
mass amounts of research can be donwe with little or no consequences, but
|
|
when it is done on people then you have problems try not to wory about
|
|
it. i have found tha the majority of pople who categorize others are just
|
|
to limited in there openminded ness to new things and other people .
|
|
that is a boundery placed on people yes. yet i also dont ridicules those
|
|
people for being close minded so in the end i havent become a hypocrit
|
|
i hope... :)

I find the labels keep falling off. When people start to sweat, the adhesive
|
|
doesn't work as well and they just drop. Its kind of depressing sometimes

Natalie,
|
|
Now I see what you meant. My mom used to do the same thing to me when I
|
|
told her that I wanted to go to Law school. I think people do these
|
|
things because they are being introduced to something that is not familiar
|
|
to them. It's their way of not dealing with something new. I used to
|
|
think it just ran in my family but I've actually found the same kind of
|
|
treatment with some of my professors. It's very frustrating when all you
|
|
want is a little support and even your family has reached a point where
|
|
they think its something that will blow over so they don't deal with it.
|
|
They put you and your ideas in a little box and they hope it will
|
|
eventually pass. My friends chalk it up to a generation gap and in some
|
|
cases it is and in others its just that some people are afraid of things
|
|
that aren't "common" in their own lives.
|
|
People just can't help the way that they have always think.
|
|
This is one of those cases where you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
|
|
Thanks for explaining that a little more for me.
|
|
|
|
Lacey

labeling is a very left-brained activity. To say that labeling is done
|
|
because the mind can't really understand something is misleading. Labeling
|
|
is the only way the left hemisphere of the brain can understand anything
|
|
at all. YOu see, the left brain thinks in a very linear fashion. lines of
|
|
hierarchy, grouping many thisgs with some similarity into one heading,
|
|
symbolic understandings are all the products of the left brain. This
|
|
explains why language is handled by the left brain. it also explains why
|
|
the left brained have so much trouble drwing--when you try to draw someone
|
|
using your left brain, you come out with little better than a stick
|
|
figure.
|
|
So, labeling and classification are not at all wrong--in fact they
|
|
are very natural. But like Jasonlee said, you have to examine your
|
|
labeling system to understand how you see the world and maybe how others
|
|
see the world. But also you should take the right brain approach to the
|
|
world everyonce and a while in order to check the power of the left brain.

As I alreay told hawke, you can't control the way the mind works--and you
|
|
shouldn't even feel that its wrong(Why fell guilt for that beyond your
|
|
control?). however, sound like instead of changing their method of
|
|
thought--an impossible eneavor--they should try to make an inquiry into
|
|
the actual thoughts themselves--theis is extremely difficult for most, but
|
|
at least it isnt totally impossible

I don't really agree with that... that people shouldn't try to change
|
|
their method of thought. what if someone is extremely prejudiced, to
|
|
the point that it's not just the occasional racist/sexist thought, but
|
|
that their whole way of thinking was based on those ideas? Are you
|
|
saying that if that's because a person was raised that way that they
|
|
shouldn't feel guilty about it and try to change it, just because it's
|
|
ingrained in them and they can't help it? I know plenty of people that
|
|
come from very racist families thathave managed to overcome these
|
|
tendencies, even though they've been raised with them from day one.
|
|
the reason people shouldn't label other people is because everyone's
|
|
so different! there's a lot of people that seem to fit right into
|
|
some stereotype at first, but as you get to know them they really don't.
|
|
maybe they just act like they do on the surface to fit into a group, i
|
|
don't know. But people are too complex to really fit into a labeled
|
|
group. if you're gonna label someone at least get to know them first.

oh, but you see, we have a miscommunication. when i say the way the mind
|
|
thinks, i'm toaling abou the actual physical functioning of the brain. The
|
|
mechanism of the left brain makes it label and classify. for
|
|
clarification, let me say that the way it classifies and labels is
|
|
changeable--certainly--but the fact that it does label and classify is
|
|
unchangeable. people should not feel bad about the fact they label, what
|
|
labels they give and the logic behind them.

i see... i guess you're right, people automatically put labels on
|
|
others, but i also thing that with a bit of practice and open-
|
|
mindedness you can overcome them. like you might unconsciously
|
|
label someone when you meet them, but then still keep an open
|
|
mind and make an effort to really get to know the persno, not just
|
|
dismiss them based on your labeling from that first impression.

i was thinking more like CD's... you can find one with a really cool

looking cover, maybe the best damn artwork you've ever seen... but then
|
|
you get home and listen to it and the musics just as dull and boring
|
|
as .... well just really dull and boring. and then someone shows you
|
|
this other CD from a band with a stupid name and maybe a boring
|
|
cover (remember the second incarnation of ritual de lo habitual? plain
|

white...) and then you hear the coolest, most intense music you;ve

But where does strawberry milk come from? Do they use real strawberries,
|
|
or just that nasty sweet syrup stuff that comes in a squeeze bottle? Or
|
|
do they milk strawberries/ But how does one go about milking a
|
|
strawberry? And do strawberries give milk? I thought they gave juice.

claim they don't. What games do you now play, and what games that you

This may be a strange time to ask, but could i get some feedback regarding
|
|
the "poetry and creative writing base?" How does everyone feel by putting
|
|
your feelings on this board ? Don't you feel that you are opening
|
|
yourselves open when you allow others to read and criticize your work. I
|
|
have felt the urge to place things i have written on this board, but have
|
|
refrained because of fear of rejection.
|
|
|
|
I would be interested in finding out how one comes to the decision to post
|
|
your material on that board.

Thank You in advance,

i like constructive criticism. i can handle just about anything when it
|
|
comes to my writing. if i get upset by a comment, then i
|
|
haven't distanced myself enough from my (dare I say it? yes I do) art.
|
|
Eventually, we all have to let go of what we create, and I prefer to do it
|
|
here, where I at least know most of the ppl who read the poetry base, as
|
|
opposed to going to a writer's group where I don't know or trust anyone.
|
|
As long as it's not an attack on ME, I can take it.
|
|
|
|
that's what I think anyhow....

Nothing personal, but most of the "criticism" that I've seen on the poetry
|
|
board has been more like what I would call "personal response." And this
|
|
is O.K. Writers want and need support; this board will give it to you,
|
|
but I wouldn't call it "criticism," constructive or otherwise.

i agree that a lot of the responses on the poetry board have been

personal, but there haven't been any personal attacks. That I've gotten

|
before, and I really don't like it when my work gets all mixed up with who

I am. that's now how it should be. Of course, this isn't a perfect

Most people are a little shy about letting others see their work. Fear of
|
|
rejection is blamed mostly. But exactly what IS rejection ? Does it mean
|
|
someone doesn't like your work ? Well whoopy doo ! You can't please
|
|
everyone. What does it really matter if you get a couple of bad comments
|
|
on it. Most people here are polite enough that if they think it is utter
|
|
shit they will just shut up, unless they wish to give some constructive
|
|
criticism, which is not a bad thing. It's not likely that anyone is gonna
|
|
laugh and think you're a dickhead (or if they do they're not likely to say
|
|
so). Even if you post something which ppl don't think is great, atleast
|
|
you had the guts to do so. That earns a little respect in my book.
|
|
|
|
So lets cut the "I'm scared of rejection" crap. Particularly on Yabbs,
|
|
where you don't actually have to face the critics, it's NOT going to ruin
|
|
your reputation/life. The worst case scenario is not that bad. So lets
|
|
see what you have to post then ... I for one would be interested.

Do you think there really is a heaven and a hell? i was thinking about
|
|
that and wondering. And if there is a heaven, would it be such a great
|
|
place to get into? I mean if everyone was good all the time, and heaven
|
|
lasts for eternity, wouldn't thinks get rather dull?
|
|
also, different religions have different gods and names fro their
|
|
gods...do you think all these gods are separate, different entities, or
|
|
just one universal god with many different names?
|
|
the one thing that bothers me the most about my church is that the people
|
|
there believe that the trinity is the only god and religion to believe in
|
|
ad that everyone else is wrong and going to hell...but suppose it turns
|
|
out that they were worshipping the wrong god all the time and instead of
|
|
heaven wind up someplace very unpleasant.
|
|
i myself, i believe in some god, but not in church. the way i've always
|
|
looked at it is if i believe in god and when i die i find out there's not
|
|
a god, i'm no worse off. but if i don't believe in god and find out when
|
|
i die that there is one....
|
|
also, what do you think owuld be better/worse, to die and end up in
|
|
whatever heaven/ninvana/utopia etc, or to keep being reincarnated.
|
|
|
|
i personally can't imagine any place or any life that could be better or

I don't think that believing that there is some being/force greater than
|
|
us is that difficult. I do however believe that too many churches have
|
|
become corrupted in subtle ways, looking fro power permanance and most of
|
|
all the almighty $$$. Look at how a schism is again forming between the
|
|
Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches, and importantly within the RC over
|
|
whether women can be ordeined. And how many of the original founders of
|
|
various religions would be horrified over religious WARS fought in their
|
|
name... God is great, humans are real flawed.
|
|
.
|
|
(but if i really wanted wealth, I'd start my own ministry ;) like
|
|
LRHubbard or the Bakkers)
|
|
,
|
|
as far as heaven or reincarnation: it depends on a lot. Is heaven someone
|
|
else's idea of it or mine? Harps and cloud-sitting would get real boring
|
|
within an eon. But reincarnation also has its problems, like where do arll
|
|
the extra souls to make 5B people come from? or are there fake people?
|
|
...this hubris led to Hitler and the KKK. Of the tow, i'd prefer heaven,
|
|
as
|
|
even my favorite shows are boring eventually. Can you imagine going
|
|
through potty training hundreds of times???

interesting questions...! the way i see it, most religions are more
|
|
political organizations than religious. i mean, they all (or most) do a
|
|
lot of good for society (soup kithens, social support, etc...) but i think
|
|
they sorta use "God" as a way to pull in people that normally wouldn't
|
|
be involved. almost like brainwashing, but to a good end. except in the
|
|
case of those evangelists that just have people send money to them!
|
|
personally, i think there is some "higher power", probably some
|
|
combination of all the other religions, both mono- and polytheistic ones.
|
|
but i don't really believe in a speceific idea of god or religion.
|
|
and if that made any sense you're probably just as warped as me....

Well, I'm not a religious man, so don't quote me on this one, but the
|
|
recent developments in the world socioeconomic/sociopolitical situation
|
|
are (according to a local minister I heard on the radio) unfolding as
|
|
prophesized in Revelations: The coming together of the world powers, the
|
|
abolition of currency (interac direct-payment), a sudden increase in
|
|
earthquakes (there has been an almost geometric increase over the last 20
|
|
years), and other stuff (I don't remember it all). Also, the end is
|
|
supposed to occur at an apparent time of prosperity, somewhere around the
|
|
year 2000. Also, Nostradamus predicted that the end of the world would
|
|
come after a 7-year long war, so if the shit hits the fan and all hell
|
|
breaks loose (pun DEFINITELY intended :))) ), we all have 7 years to shop

around at ALL religions, praying like crazy in order to repent in all

forms of worship. If we do that, we'll be safe!

Okay.. here we go...
|
|
|
|
: do you think that fate/destiny (no pun intended) controls our lives or

|
do we?

: is everything that happens to a person just a random coincidence, or do

: we have some say in the matter?

this is one of my theories.. which I can go on and on and on and on and on
|
|
and on and on.. you get the picture :)
|
|
|
|
#1 Predeterminism
|
|
There are those who live their lives by the script, and those who rip that
|
|
script apart, burn it, and shoot the director :)
|
|
But how do we know that we are gripping the controls of our lives, defying
|
|
the the perhaps.. and I stress that word "PERHAPS", predetermined way of
|
|
living our lives. Maybe it involves us making a high level state of
|
|
awareness decision in what we do.. almost to the level of psychosis..
|
|
maybe... I don't know... who will ever know.. and those who say they know,
|
|
whether they be religious, or government, or any other form of agency are
|
|
just bullshitting, or bullshitting themselves too in the process of BS
|
|
others...
|
|
|
|
#2 Randomness...
|
|
Hoy Boy.. this one's kewl..
|
|
So.. its like we're all flying by the seat of our pants.. well.. methinx
|
|
I'm flying with my pants at my ankles on this one hehehehe...um... same
|
|
point of view.. sometimes we have control... other times we're butt naked
|
|
as far as power is concerned. Ultimately we can never know... an' anyone
|
|
who says otherwise needs brain surgery.
|
|
|
|
But its okay to wonder an' guess, jus don' say "THIS IS WHY..." cuz ya
|
|
wrong :)
|
|
(human beans don' have the brains to find the truth of these sortsa stuff
|
|
out... is there a god, or a heaven etc... we cannot possibly know.. all we
|
|
can do is speculate... an' those who yell in my face, "Jesus loves me and
|
|
told me everything" needs to be checked up.
|
|
|
|
Maybe I'm too sceptical for my own good...

Yes. Technically speaking, there are 4 orders of social behavior
|
|
besides games. (a) Rituals and ceremonies
|
|
(b) Pastimes
|
|
(c) Operations and maneuvers
|
|
and (e) Intimacy
|

Games are classified as order (d).

|
|
|
Mind games are distinct in having a predictable outcome, ulterior motives,

|
and a dramatic payoff. Check out some books by Eric Berne, M.D. if you
|
|
want some very interesting reading about why people do things that seem
|
|
only to hurt themselves and those that they care about.

Well, they're not _designed_ to hurt people, but that is a side effect
|
|
of quite a few of them. Usually the outcome is fairly predictable, as the
|
|
actions by the players are predictable. However, if someone refuses to
|
|
play, or uses the antithesis to the game, it can really surprise the
|
|
players and throw the game off course.

well, here's my $.02 on religion and faith and its benefits....
|
|
|
|
I just got back from the funeral of my great uncle, who I loved very very
|
|
much. He had cancer, so we all knew death was imminent, and I did go see
|
|
him in the hospital so I got a chance to tell him I loved him and to say
|
|
goodbye (which I didn't get with my mother), so I'm okay about that. But
|
|
the funeral was Catholic. My whole family is Catholic, with the exception
|
|
of myself and my sister. Me, I'mmore of a Gnostic than anythingelse, and
|
|
my sister is fundamentalist born again. Now, when it comes to things
|
|
like this, I don't know any of the rituals. I can't BELIEVE what the
|
|
priest is saying about eternal life in heaven, because i'm not real sure
|
|
aboutthe next plane of existence (i'm an agnostic gnostic). But I can see
|
|
that there is some comfort in the ritual and tradtion of belonging to a
|
|
specific church or faith. I don't have that comfort in my life, and I'm
|
|
just glad thatI am strong ennough not to need that kind of comfort.
|
|
(Religion is the opiate of the masses, i know, i know) But other ppl
|
|
aren't as strong as I am, and I can see where religion/faith wopuld help
|
|
them getthrough difficult periods in their lives. it's just when they try
|
|
to shove it down MY throat thatI get mad.

Ohhhh... nice question "How do you ever get more?" That's truly something
|
|
to contemplate. I understand what you were saying and how that question
|
|
was posed, and its a truly legit thing to think about... and it runs
|
|
straight back into the question of whats the afterlife going to be like. I
|
|
can't seriously believe that anyone could be content in the thought of
|
|
it all being total darkness, a true end, nothing, black, buried in a box.
|
|
We HAVE to believe in something more, we HAVE to want something more.
|
|
Otherwise what truly has been the point in our lives?? In essence what
|
|
have we done all this time? Have we truly achieved NOTHING???
|
|
Is there anyone out there in this huge world, that is totally happy with
|
|
their lives here on this planet, and who would not want more?
|
|
Maybe it comes down to us all being greedy pigs, take everything you can
|
|
get.
|
|
So far, what I believe in is that everyone goes where they want to go when
|
|
they die. You could look at it as finally being released from this body
|
|
that inhibits us, and therefore you've got your soul, your imagination,
|
|
and thats enough to create a billion different worlds with :) That's how I
|
|
believe everyone gets their own - because we all have different minds and
|
|
imagination.

Terry Pratchett (in his book "Pyramids" I think) suggests the theory about
|
|
the afterlife (somewhat similar to what Topi said), that the afterlife is
|
|
whatever you imagine it to be. If you imagine a heaven where you can
|
|
catch up on old times with all your dead buddies and ancestors, then
|
|
that's what you get. If you imagine it to be nothing, then, for you,
|
|
there is no afterlife.
|
|
|
|
This idea almost makes sense to me. I think the only person/being capable
|
|
of judging whether you have been good or bad in your life is you. Hence,
|
|
if you know you have led an evil life and you then suspect that you are
|
|
going top hell, then to hell you go. Whereas if you were nasty to ppl but
|
|
always had good intentions despite outside appearances, then you may feel
|
|
you should go to a "heaven" and off you go.
|
|
|
|
Just a thought on God/gods too. If they do/did exist, then it makes sense
|
|
that they are some sort of sentient being with an interest of sorts in us.
|
|
We might have no idea what that interest is ... it may be far beyond
|
|
mortal comprehension, but if they have an interest then it is almost
|
|
undoubtably designed to benefit themselves in some way. Therefore we
|
|
humans are possibly being used, being farmed even, by these
|
|
incomprehensible beings we call gods.
|
|
|
|
Please note that I am an atheist, and please direct all flames for my
|
|
blasphemy to Steyr@gpo.swin.edu.au :) :)
|
|
|
|
Ummm ... just one more thing. If we have an afterlife, what about other
|
|
animals. Do cats have a heaven ? Do leeches go to hell ? WHat about
|
|
plants ? They're alive too.
|
|
|
|
Oh well. I know what my heaven/nirvana/uTOPIa is.
|

i agree, and that's why i have such a problem with organized religions.
|
|
many of them are just too darn judgemental...god loves everyone but he
|

loves some people more that others sort of thing. a person can go
|
|
through all the motions of being "good" and have bad intentions in
|
|
their minds and vice versa.
|
|
|

i wonder...if perhaps maybe there's a half way point betewwn hell and

heaven. i for one would much rather stay where i am than end up sitting

on a cloud or being barbecued in a pool of fire and brimstone.

hmm i had a discussion with my dad about this once. he says that animals
|
|
can't go to heaven because they don't have souls. i disagree with this. i
|
|
think every living thing has a soul and if "heaven" or whatever you want
|
|
to call it is a place one gets into as a reward for being good...seems to
|
|
me people will have a much harder time getting in that anything else. :)
|
|
leeches going to hell? nah, they just act on their instinct to survive,
|
|
but human leechs are another story. :)

What explanation would you give to the phenomena commonly termed as
|
|
'ghosts'...
|
|
|
|
don't get me wrong, I'm jus like Natalie on my viewpoint towards
|
|
religions... but the thing that fascinates me, is what if when we cark it,
|
|
some of us get to float around an' watch life go on without us... an'
|
|
occassionally we can affect that reality...?
|
|
|
|
Ofcourse hollywood has done heaps of stuff about ghosts in that situation,
|
|
and largely I think it's all shit... but just as food for thought,
|
|
wouldn't it be kewl, provided that you were not alone, because that's
|
|
probly my biggest fear of the possibilities of an afterlife...
|
|
|
|
|
|
And that also leads me to Steyr'swords...> Terry Pratchett (in his book
|
|
"Pyramids" I think)
|
|
|
|
If such an afterlife is true, then it suggests that our minds belong to a
|
|
higher realm, to retain its own self consciousness beyond the body, and
|
|
the physical/spiritual plane... it's suggesting that we ourselves are
|
|
gods, thus enabled to create our own universe within our "dead"
|
|
imaginations. If you expect a certain reality or consciousness beyond
|
|
death, then your mind will kick in when you're due an' grant that to
|
|
you... hmmm... is that not godly? (keep in mind this is not a religious
|
|
arguement I'm expanding on here...)
|
|
|
|
Although what I do find disturbing with Pratchett's theory is that the
|
|
afterlife you're experiencing is false, the people, or the environs is all
|
|
but "a figment of your imagination" and essentially you are alone... that
|
|
scares the shit out of me, because you still cease to exist... no one else
|
|
to acknowledge your existence in the greater fabric of consciousness...

Here's a beautiful little story for yous :
|
|
|
|
"Once upon a time, twin boys were conceived in the same womb.
|
|
Weeks passed, and the twins developed. As their awareness grew,
|
|
they laughed fore joy: "Isn't it great that we were conceived?
|
|
Isn't it great to be alive?"
|
|
Together the twins explored their world. When they found their
|
|
mother's cord that gave them life, they sang for joy: "How great
|
|
is our mother's love that she shares her own life with us!"
|
|
As weeks stretched into months the twins noticed how much each
|
|
was changing. "What does it mean?" asked the one. "It means
|
|
that our stay in this world is drawing to an end," said the other
|
|
one. "But I don't want to go,"said the other one. "I want to stay
|
|
here always." "We have no choice," said the other. "But maybe there is
|
|
life after birth!" "But how can there be?" responded the one.
|
|
"We will shed our life cord, and how is life possible without it?
|
|
Besdies, we have seen evidence that others were here before us, and none
|
|
of them have returned to tell us that there is life after birth. No, this
|
|
is the end."
|
|
And so the one fell into deep despair, saying: "If conceptions ends in
|
|
birth, what is the purpose of life in the womb? It's meaningless!
|
|
Maybe there is no mother after all." "But there has to be," protested
|
|
the other. "How else did we get here? How do we remain alive?"
|
|
"Have you ever seen our mother?" said the one. "Maybe she lives
|
|
only in our minds. Maybe we made her up because the idea made us feel
|
|
good."
|
|
And so the last days in the womb were filled with deep questioning and
|
|
fear. Finally, the moment of birth arrived.
|
|
When the twins had passed from their world, they opened their eyes and
|
|
they cried. For what they saw exceeded their fondest dreams.

just a bunch of (kinda) random thoughts....
|
|
- cool story topi! i never thought of it that way.... there was a news
|
|
show on last night about near death experiences (NDE's) and scientists
|
|
were
|
|
saying that it's all physiological - the "light at the end of the tunnel"
|
|
effect is because the brain is running out of oxygen and that's causing
|
|
neurons to fire off randomly, exciting more and more of the optical nerves
|
|
so that a big spot of white light (all colors of the spectrum) appears in
|
|
the center of the eyes and gets bigger... the feeling of comfort and love
|
|
is because of endorphins (natural opiates your body produces in times of
|
|
stress or pain, and death is definitely one of those times!)... and they
|
|
were able to induce an out of body experience by electrically stimulating
|
|
a certain part of someone's brain, and this could happen in an NDE because
|
|
of the random firings of neurons... just a different view...
|
|
|
|
- if different stimuli can change (at least temporarily) a person's
|
|
intelligence and creativity (beethoven has been shown to do this) and
|
|
other's reduce it (getting drunk/stoned) what would happen if (these are
|
|
actual situations me and my friends have been in and wondered about ): you
|
|
get stoned and then play chess; listen to punk rock and play chess; listen
|
|
to beethoven after watching stupid TV sitcoms... i guess it all balances
|
|
out huh?
|
|
|
|
never mind i dunno what i'm talking about.

If _you_ notice yourself, then you must still exist there. But all of
|
|
the other people passing around you might not. You can imagine other
|
|
people, but you can't imagine yourself because _something_ must exist to
|
|
do the imagining. At least, that's the way I imagine that it works. :>
|
|
|
|
Perhaps the entire material/physical plane is just a collective
|
|
hallucination that we, as astral beings (collections of thought), have
|
|
created to relieve the boredom, ease communication, and to flex our mental
|
|
muscles.

|
|
|
|
> but if they could walk through walls why didn't they fall
|
|

|
|
|
|
ok, now we all know that ST:TNG had a limited time per episode to pack
|
|
everything in... so they cannot possibly successfully achieve yer
|
|
suspension of disbelief in a totality... an' it's hollywood soo.. hehe
|
|
|
|
|
|
but here's another theory fer ya ta munch on...
|
|
|
|
Assuming that ghosts do exist or "out-of-phasing" etc an' that they were
|
|
able to walk through walls and other obstruction that would impede
|
|
movemnet in normal circumstances, but do not fall through the floor...
|
|
|
|
This can be explained by Hard Deck Consciousness ( no ref's, I jus thought
|
|
the idea awhile ago when I was writing a story on afterlife ).
|
|
HDCis applied whn the entity, who has lived a lifetime, expecting hard
|
|
ground to be under them, and gravity to keep them there... can go on in an
|
|
environment that does not accommodate normal hard ground... i.e. yer a
|
|
ghost or non-matter consciousness, and still benefit from a simulation of
|
|
ground, as provided by the mind. To look at one of the closest examples of
|
|
HDC.. we can watch the motion picture "Ghost", which partially
|
|
demonstrates theories of mind over matter, in which our protagonist, must
|
|
unlearn his previous consciousness experiences in order to jump through
|
|
doors, moving trains, and beat up his best buddy. His mind was so used to
|
|
having the normal limitation of our material being that when he lost his
|
|
meat, the mind refused to adapt, until it was forced to.
|
|
|
|
However Hard Deck Consciousness is not only applicable with yer everyday
|
|
friendly sppok or star trek character... but also has some real life
|
|
applications, especailly notable in Space Transportation.
|
|
|
|
In a few centuries time, (provided that we are still around) human kind
|
|
will no longer be bound to their planet, ad will be able to colonize space
|
|
and the greatr system. Sure this all sounds fantasy, and what does it have
|
|
to do with HDC? Well, if modern speculative fiction is as close as it is
|
|
t what will be, then you will have vessels that will support thousands of
|
|
people, shipping them across the commercial and government lanes from
|
|
colony to colony..etc etc.. what this also means it that without some form
|
|
of artificial gravity, you'll have heaps of people floating around
|
|
endlessly. HDC enables the future travellers to use their minds to trick
|
|
them to sticking to the floor. All because you expect it to happen...
|
|
|
|
Ok, please treat this as a piece of speculative fiction, I'm not in any
|
|
way advocating that HDC is a reality now, or later... however, after
|
|
studying paranormal papers and texts, you may come across instances where
|
|
people have defied gravity while in a trance... (i.e. returned soviet
|
|
cosmonauts regressed back to a mission, floating unaided from their seats
|
|
as observed by camera, and researchers present during the sessions)
|
|
|
|
chew on it,... an enquiring mind is healthy :)
|
|
|
|
anyone here watch Xfiles? apart from the Mulderisms, its kinda
|
|
entertaining... though the question is, does he get Dana Scully to bed?

XFiles is one of the few tv shows worth watching... one time i was
|
|
watching it, it was the episode where this doctor was making alien/human
|
|
hybrids and one escaped, and he was stopped by the cops for a traffic
|
|
violation or something, and got away by jumping off a bridge into water
|
|
and he could breathe under water etc etc etc.... but anyway right after
|
|
the show was over, there was an ad for the news coming up where there was
|

blah, let's try that again.....

i haven't seen x-files, tho i keep hearing it mentioned alot...i bet it's
|
|
not as good as the old twillight zones or alfred hitchcock...those were
|
|
really weird and scary shows because they were so subtle and _always_
|
|
left you wondering..ah well i can't even watch them anymore cause the
|
|
folks got rid o' our cable. who cares, the only thing worth watching
|

these days anyway is pbs. :)

I have to agree that the old "twilight Zone" episodes were the sharpest
|
|
thing on TV. I especially liked the ones written by Rod Serling. He
|
|
could tell a story and then give it just the right twist at the end. I
|
|
know it sounds a bit cliche, but it was kin of like a roller coaster ride
|
|
with a final drop so you would talk about it later. Some really nice
|
|
touches in his stories. He had a vivid imagination.

agreed...
|
|
|
|
The better of works done in horror, or supernatural are the ones that are
|
|
not so contrived (<- that's the word I was looking for) as some of the
|
|
stuff that airs today, i.e. Xfiles.. which depends too much on government
|
|
plots and the determination that THIS is a supernatural occurance...
|
|
hehehe, jus ask Mulder - a friggin fart in an elevator is some paranormal
|
|
event, an insertion of alien influence, or a pyrotechnic who's lost
|
|
his/her spark with only the gas remaining..
|
|
|
|
Twilight zone kicks ass...
|
|
|
|
(Steyr, X files still tops off a good night of viewing... NYPD blue isn't
|
|
bad either fer entertainment)

Just a thought ...
|
|
|
|
What is there after the afterlife ? Or does the afterlife last eternally
|
|
?
|
|
|
|
If so ... wouldn't it get boring after a while ?
|
|
|
|
Afterall ... who wants to live forever whether it's in some sort of
|
|
nirvana
|
|
or not.
|
|
|
|
Or perhaps this IS the afterlife ... and this life is our own personal
|
|
heaven or hell depending on what we make of it.
|
|
|
|
Does anyone here believe in reincarnation on this earth ? Perhaps as a
|
|
different caste or even a different life form depending on how "well" you
|
|
performed in your last life.
|
|
|
|
Or maybe "life" is just a whole bunch of electrical impulses and chemical
|
|
reactions, and when we die the electricity dissapates into some other form
|
|
|
|
of energy and the pysical side of us just decomposes. Perhaps there is no
|
|
"soul", no "God/gods/godesses", no "afterlife", no "reincarnation".
|
|
|
|
Perhaps a bleak outlook ... but why does there HAVE to be something after
|
|
death ?
|
|
|
|
Ok, so this topic has pretty much been done to death already (is there an
|
|
afterlife for topics/ideas ?) and I guess there's no solid answers to all
|
|
this anyway.
|
|
|
|
Oh, but to all those who firmly believe there IS an afterlife, is there
|
|
one for plants as well ? They are alive too.

came out (I think) but I haven't heard a thing about it...actually all of

the movies that Wenders has directed that I've seen are really good...even

In the afterlife we become characters in the fiction
|
|
of Jacqueline Sussette.
|
|
|
|
In other words, we go to hell.

You see, lucky, like all leprechauns, is a weak willed fool afraid to use
|
|
his power as it should be used. For example, the trix rabbit, a sapient
|
|
rodent of immense size and intelligence, is ostracized and humiliated over
|
|
and over again, yet does he breed and form a massive army of hisown
|
|
fertile brood? No. He takes it like a simp.
|
|
|
|
I think advertisers don't realize we identify more with the rabbit than
|
|
those @%$%^#$^$#^%$%#&#% kids.

This is all way too mild. Hell would be worse then V.C> Andrews or Shirley
|

Temple. Hell would be being tied down and forced to watch the movie
|
|
"Slacker" for all eternityu. Just think of it. Endless hours of annoying

I couldn't stand most of it. By the middle of the movie, I just wanted

to go to this town and start a shooting spree. A few parts amused me,

namely the Madonna pap smear bit, and the man in the car advertising

anyone ever see Tetsuo the Iron Man? it's this really cool japanese flick,
|
|
no dialog or anything, about this guy that gradually turns into a machine
|
|
or something. it all has this crazy grinding pounding industrial
|
|
background
|
|
music, and it's all in B&W... he's just going through his every day life
|
|
and
|
|
these wires and tubs start pushing through his skin, from the inside!
|
|
kinda
|
|
reminds me of NIN's 'becoming'.

Man, you guys/gals have to meet my family. Especially my old man.
|
|
We've all got tatoos (mom,dad,sister,me) and worship harleys. heheee
|
|
|
|
My old man takes the cake though. I went home last year and saw
|
|
a wooden cross and some flowers behind the house. I asked mom: "did one
|
|
of the cats die?". "Nope", she said, "your dad like to go up to the graveyard
|
|
on his bike and dig through the trashcans". He rides his bike with no shirt,
|
|
no socks, boots, cutoff shorts, and a suit vest. He buys suit vests at yard
|
|
sales all of the time. His hat is a ballcap with the bill cutoff. I asked
|
|
him why he did that and he said the wind kept blowing it off. I asked why
|
|
he didn't just wear it backwards and he said: "yeah right. I'd look like
|
|
one of those punk kids on Hondas".
|
|
|
|
I talked to him on the phone last fall and he was pissed off. He said
|
|
that all of the leaves had fallen off of the trees and he could see our
|
|
'neighbors' porch light (one mile away). He was getting ready to shoot it out
|
|
because he felt 'closed in'. He's got a patched together chinese military
|
|
issue rifle that he uses to shoot groundhogs in the hayfield from the porch.
|
|
The man is my god: I worship him unconditionally.
|
|
|
|
Mom's a refugee from Catholic school and if anyone gives her a bottle of
|
|
wine as a present, she mixes it with a slushed Boones Farm and goes for a walk
|
|
along the railroad tracks. I called her from school 6 years ago when I was a
|
|
freshman and she asked me: "are you studying alot?". I said some, but that
|
|
I'd been skipping my 8:00 Chem class because we were getting drunk 5 or 6
|
|
nights a week and that my GPA was going to shit. She said: "Well, just
|
|
remember to have fun and not to study too hard. If you study too hard you'll
|
|
just burn yourself out." My mommy kicks ass. She's the shit.
|
|
|
|
My sister follows The Dead now. Not exclusively, but damn near.
|
|
She was voted Prom Queen in High School and tripped and fell down the stage
|
|
stairs drunk off of her ass at the dance when they anounced the candidates.
|
|
She said she didn't even remember any of it nor did she care to. Her airforce
|
|
cargo plane also hauled one of those released Iranian hostages (can't remember
|
|
the name) back to Germany. They got hammered on the way to Germany as he
|
|
kept babbling about how long it had been since he had seen a woman. I've
|
|
seen her drink men 5 times her size under the table. My little sis rules.
|
|
|
|
Sorry, guess I'm just getting homesick. I do tend to brag them up
|
|
sometimes (though that is all true). What can I say, they're the coolest
|
|
and most eccentric people I know. Hmmmm, why did I write all of this? Oh

ah, Akira ... kind of cool anime ... okay story ... crap dialog.
|
|
|
|
lets see if i can renact one of the scenes.
|
|
|
|
two groups of armed people face off.
|
|
one person shoots someone on the other side ... more shots fired
|
|
someone yells "Look out, he's got a gun" (great timing)
|
|
|
|
more dialog that makes little sense
|
|
|
|
"Men, we're going to the olympics"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maybe it makes more sense in context ... Nah.

If you guys think the last one was too tame, try this one:
|
|
|
|
During Christmas Dinner, when they wheel out whatever the feast is going
|
|
to be, and this works best if it is a meat of some kind, scream "My former
|
|
bretheren of Life! I will save YOU!" Throw the meat dish in question as
|
|
hard as you can at the Childrens table, screaming "BUTCHERS! SANTA IS A
|
|
MYTH! SANTA MURDERED THIS (Fill in animal species)! I HATE CHRISTMAS! FUCK
|
|

Graveyards are great fun, I even had the pleasure of working in them for
|
|
a few years. I sandblasted the dates of death on the stones. Great job,
|
|
really, no one to complain, pretty areas, that solemn feeling. Might have
|
|
been my best job yet. I got to see a lot of different graveyards that way.
|
|
Speaking of mind games, I worked quite a few bizzare stories out of my
|
|
experiences. I usually freaked out everyone around me at school. They were
|
|
convinced I was some sort of psychopath. I always dueled out the exact
|
|
opposite of what was expected of me. I would scream at people who
|
|
complimented me and thank those who insulted. I even hit on a homophobe
|
|
once just to watch his squirm.
|
|
Fun days.

invited to come to Pittsburgh, the birthplace of Yabbs, where we will all
|
|
get together for a weekend or so of fun :> The reason the time is still
|
|
undetermined is because we need everyone who wants to come to let us know
|
|
when would be a good time for them... Email me with questions, comments,
|

suggestions, and what time would be good for you at: death@cyberspace.org

See you there!!!

did you know that everytime you sneeze your heart stops for a second and

when that happens you kill a brain cell? i have a friend that's studying

medicine and he told me that...i wonder...if you got near something that
|
|
you were allergic too and you kept sneezing and sneezing if you could
|
|
make yourself brain dead...what a weird way to die, sneezing to death.
|
|
|
|
i think the scariest way to die would be if you fell into a hole cut in
|
|
the ice in the winter and couldn't get out, or if you were diving and got
|
|
your foot stuck and couldn't free it. i think it would be kinda neat to
|
|
spontaneously combust though...does anyone know how that works? i've

always kinda wondered...it would be kinda cool if you could make

something else combust by thinking about it...or to make anything happen

Actually Cat, freezing to death is one of the most human ways to die.

Essentially, you just die in your sleep. Your body doesn't have

the energy to keep you awake(cold sucked it away I guess).

actually... i think i read a study somewhere where they poured achohol on
|
|
mean and tried to set it on fire.... it burned for a few seconds and as
|
|
soon as the alcohol had burned off it stopped burning... the meat was only
|
|
slightly charred.. nothing like spontateous combustion (i.e. there's
|
|
nothing left but ash...) and besides that, you'd have a heart attack from
|
|
too much alcohol _long_ before you got enough alcohol in you to cause you
|
|
to become flammable...

Let's say this guy is riding a motorcycle and has an accident. He gets his
|
|
head cut off. You go screaming into the middle of the street saying, daddy
|
|
daddy, daddy. Then you pick up the head and say, oh, that's not my dad,

he's too short.

i think that they had an episode on "Picket Fences" once whe nthe mayor
|
|
S.C.ed it twas purty funny...something about stress and alcohol..i dunno
|
|
|
|
A friend of mine came up with this tripped out theory on spontaneous
|
|
combustion it goes something like this.....
|
|
90% of your body heat escapes through your head
|
|
humans use only 10% of their brain power
|
|
therefore if you ever end up using 100 % of your brain power..the amount
|
|
of heat that it would create for mthe chemical reactions involved in theat
|
|
many thought processes + the great amount of your body heat escaping
|
|
throuhg yur head you would spontaneously combust
|
|
|
|
well we can tell i'm not using even 10% of my brain power at this moment
|
|
cause then my typing wouldn't suck so bad...but any way that was his
|
|
theory
|
|
|
|
have funn

i was in this funky new age store and they were selling rubber brains and

eyeballs and such in one section and for the display they had this mannequin
|
|
with no arms and her hair in curlers dressed in white laying on a bed
|
|
with all the eyeballs and stuff as well as some coloring anatony books
|
|
all over the bed. it looks really neat.
|
|
|
|
they also had this room set up with all sorts of bug stuff, like bug jars
|
|
and bug hand puppets (the ant and cockroach ones were really cool) and
|
|
they had a live tarantula....
|
|
|
|
and another one set up with glow in the dark stuff and lava lamps and
|
|
once with the pop art stuff like warhol and another one set up like a
|
|
jungle. there were hardly any lights in the place and it was kinda creepy
|
|
but really really cool at the same time. lots of toys to play with. i'll
|
|
show it to you, you'd like it. the whole place was one big visual mind

i was looking at an old book of 50 years of barbie (don't ask why) and
|
|
they had hippie barbies, which were really funny and kinda cool. except
|
|
ken with a blond afro which looked completely ridiculous
|
|
|
|
and as for barney, i still think he should be dropped into jurassic park
|
|
|
|
college students everywhere are beating up on people dressed up to play
|
|
barney in malls...can you imagine how a little kid feels to see someone
|
|
beat up on his hero? tho i bet it was funny as hell..kinda mean tho. why
|
|
is it that everyone hates barney (me included) but no one seems to
|
|
complain about big bird? i think it's barney's voice...or maybe the kids
|
|
he co stars with...the kids on sesame st are much cooler :) jim henson is

probably the reason no one wants to lynch cookie monster

Well I guess she maintains her figure through a careful diet. Come to
|

think of it ... I've never really seen her eat much :)

Gee, and I guess barby dolls don't really help the

blondes-are-not-all-airheads cause much. Ever cracked a barby open ?

Totally empty inside :)

I guess that means (to the woe of millions of little kids) that Barby is

really just a heartless bitch, and not the wonderful character she is made

out to be. :)

Seriously, what is the deal with Barbie? Is the moral here that brains are

|

That performing surgery or waliking on the moon in high heels is the wave

of the future? (Dr. Barbie, you dropped the forceps in Mr. Johnson's

BRAINPAN! {Oh well.})

Naah. Barby DOES have a real, practical use. She's good for keeping
|
|
pesky, annoying little kids out of their mothers hair for a while.
|
|
|
|
*Ouch* !! A thought just hit me ...
|
|
|
|
Perhaps Barby is the main driving force behind womens liberation ! Little
|
|
kids grew up with a Barby that could do all these wonderful things (had
|
|
her own car/mansion/man-slave(Ken)), and then when the kids grew up, they
|
|
wanted to be just like Barby - i.e. have a high powered executive job
|
|
instead of staying at home as the old fashioned faithful housewife.
|
|
|
|
Still ... I don't remember there ever being an Air Force Pilot Barby.

When I was growing up, around the age of 14/15, there was a group of us
|
|
girls sitting around and dreaming about what wonderful riches we would
|
|
have when we "grew up". It was the usual thing, a HUGE house, servants,
|
|
lots of clothes and jewels etc.....
|
|
One of my friends pointed out how we would have to set out to find
|
|
ourselves rich husbands to provide all this for us. It was at this moment
|
|
(and due to some recent letdowns in my young life), that I decided that I
|
|
was NOT going to rely on someone else to provide for all my wants. That
|
|
the only way I was going to be assured of getting what I wanted, was to go
|
|
out and get it for myself. So thats when I knew I had to get a good, rich
|
|
job. Thats why I'm going to be an engineer.(well, not All the reasons..)
|
|
The thing is, that was a crucial turning point in my life, something
|
|
snapped, and it all happened within this on minute and I completely
|
|
remember it all. I just wondered if anybody else has had any experiences
|
|
like that, and of what has motivated the rest of you into doing what you
|
|
are doing at the moment, or have chosen to do in your futures.

hmm interesting topic...well the reason i decided to work towards being an
|
|
english teacher...
|
|
when i was little, my favorite things were animals and books. i used to
|
|
want to be a veteranarian until a) i volunteered at the vet's and burst
|
|
into tears whenever something had to be put to sleep, b)went to hs and
|
|
discovered my mathematical and scientific abilities were non-existant and
|
|
c)went to a blood drive and found out i faint at the sight of blood...that
|
|
ruled out being a vet, so i thought about what kind of career i could have
|
|
with books and decided i would teach them. people also facinate me so i
|
|
thought being a teacher would be a good idea and here i am, going into my
|
|
second year of studying english and education at uvm...well that's about
|
|
it :)

I just thought of an importan turning point in my life though. Why I want
|
|
to be a nuclear physicist:
|
|
|
|
When I was about 11/12 I got really sick (never knew what it was) and I
|
|
was in bed for about two or three months. During that time, I got into
|
|
reading lots of books. Well I was looking for the word elephant in the
|
|
encyclopedia and found the word electron on the way. I read up on it and
|
|
was intantly facinated.
|
|
|
|
And adult friend of mine gave me a copy of "A Brief History of Time," a
|
|
then newly released book by Stephen Hawking and told me that it was
|
|
designied for the layman to understand. I read it and understood nothing.
|
|
At that point, I decided tthat I will learn it all
|
|
Hence, my field of study

i did computer science because it was something i enjoyed doing and it just
|
|
seemed like a logical major. the only other thing that ever caught my fancy
|
|
enough to make me consider majoring in it was photography, but that never
|
|
happened...i can't even minor in it at carnegie mellon (probably good anyway).
|
|
|
|
now i get sick of computers a lot of the time :)
|
|
|
|
anyway, how many people out there have chosen their major based on the
|
|
money that it will bring them in the future. does money really matter enough
|

to base a career on? i mean, can the difference between comfortable and rich
|
|
really make ones life a lot happier?

poor + happy > rich + lonely

Hmm.. Well, I guess you could say that I decided what I was going to do
|
|
when I was about 10. I've always been fascinated with the way things work,
|
|
and how to make them work better. When I was 10, I got my first _real_
|
|
computer (ie not a commiedore :) and it truly fascinated me. Since then, I
|
|
have endeavoured to learn all that I could about computers, both hardware
|
|
and software. Now I know a heck of a lot more than I did then, although I
|
|
still don't know at least twice as much as I DO know, and I'm not really
|
|
sick of 'puters yet. My problem, however, is that I'm also interested in a
|
|
few hundred other things, some of them almost as much as I'm interested in
|
|
'puters. For instance, I got a 5 on the AP English test as easily as I
|
|
did on the Comp. Science test... It makes deciding what I really want to
|
|
do in life a bitch, but I think for now at least I'll stay with 'puters.

of course i had transformers..they're more than meets the eye. :) i had
|
|
soundwave..he was really cool...he turned into a tape deck and he came
|

with "tapes" that transformed into a cat and a bird. i had the blue and

and an arm..not the whole voltron. so :P

my barbies did all kinds of fun things. like i'd borrow my sister's ken
|
|
and have them go out on a date. they'd have dinner, then ken would drop
|
|
off barbie at her place, and the next day barbie'd be 9 months preggers...
|
|
or i'd borrow her ken and play barbie torture chamber...all my barbies
|
|
naked up against the sofa, armstied above their heads, with ken walking up
|
|
and down in front ofthem with a whip....oh, those were the days...

i'm an english major cause that's all i'm really good at...well, actually,

i'm damned good at biology, but you have to take a lot of math to get a

degree in that and i suck at math, so...but books are my first love. i've
|
|
been reading since iwas 3 years old...i remember when i was 5 and
|
|
discovered nancy drew and the bobbsey twins. i was in heaven...i went
|
|
through a nother epiphany of that sort when i was in high school
|
|
and discovered sci fi...especially robert heinlein. it's kind of funny
|
|
tho...my reading is really varied...i don't have a lot of depth in any one
|
|
area...i've read a medieval stuff, renaissance stuff, the romantics, yeats
|
|
(of course), and a lot of genre writing...i managed to completely skip the
|
|
enlightenment ad the victorians...the thing about my interest in sci fi is
|
|
weird tho...i always hated it until i was in 9th grade and we were camping
|
|
one weekend, and it was raining, and i had finished all the books i had
|
|
brought with me (jean auel books if i remember right). the only thing
|
|
left to read was some sci fi that my dad was reading. so i read it (cause
|
|
if i get bored enough i'll read anything) and was hooked....

I have always been fascinated with the technical, for many reasons. For
|
|
one, I've been using computers since I was 5 or so. It didn't take me long
|
|
to realize I knew more than my parents about computers, and
|
|
to realize I knew more than my parents about these machines. This gave me
|
|
a certain power... maybe that's why I love computers. Those who are in the
|
|
know have the power. I still feel a sense of pride when I hack out a good
|
|
snatch of code.
|
|
|
|
I was well on my way to CS or ECE, but then I was asked to do sound for a
|
|
school theatre production, and that was it. I got hooked into the theatre.
|
|
It allowed me to do technical work, but in addition to the pride I get
|
|
when I do a good design, I also get the rush of a live production. Though
|
|
I know I am probably be dirt poor for a long time after I graduate, I'm
|
|
not concerned. Ht said it well with poor+happy > rich+unhappy.

this can be implying that you are superior, since you (maybe

i like to sit in the last seat on a bus and look out the back window at
|
|
the people in cars behind me. i stare at them for a while and it makes
|
|
them nervous. people are so funny.

or a better one that i'm still working on.
|
|
|
|
pick one friend of yours, someone kind of goofy looking (like my friend sam
|
|
greenfield).
|
|
|
|
now try to convince everyone on campus to point at him and laugh when they see
|
|
him. Feel free to do this yourself, out windows, across football fields, just
|
|
whenever you see him, point and laugh loudly.
|
|
|
|
its fun
|
|
|
|
too bad i haven't convinced that many people to join in

nah i like to be more subtle.
|
|
|
|
walk into a room full of people (like the newspaper office at your local
|
|
school) .... look for someone you know.
|
|
|
|
walk up to them, rub your head (its best if you use the top of your head
|
|
rather than, say, your nose which would make this a much more disgusting
|
|
trick) against their shoulder and make purring noisess.
|
|
|
|
walk out ... don't say a word
|
|
|
|
Its even better if your friend knows this is going to happen and just smiles
|
|
at all the people staring at him/her then goes back to work silently

peter,
|
|
My friend does something similar, though not in any affectionate way.....
|
|
|
|
The guy doesn't like to study, or at least, not when everyone else does.
|
|
He walks into random rooms, usually people he knows, stands in the
|
|
doorway, and stares at the rooms occupants for, oh, a good 15-20 seconds.
|
|
Usually he says nothing, sometimes he says, "just wanted to see how y'all
|
|
were doing." Sometimes he comes in laughing, stops cold in the doorway,
|
|
stops laughing and stares, for a few seconds, then as he leaves begins his
|
|
maniacal laughing again. Very strange guy, don't you agree?

That's not strange, Hrothgar (Cool name, BTW), that's perfectly normal.

Strange is when you do all that you mentioned, and then begin an organized

academic debate with the faeries that live in your skull about the nature
|

of light near a black hole.

You and your spouse are on the 28th floor together in a high-rise.
|

You kiss GOODBYE. This is the norm. However, the next day, you do the
|
|
same thing thing, but as you travel down the elevator, the lights go out
|
|
all over the building. Your spouse - is dead. How would you know
|

immediately? (Betcha can't guess the answer!)

Sort of a similar question, here goes...
|
|
|
|
A man has been shot, not by his own hand. He is in a room alone, just a
|
|
bullet through his head. There is one door, double locked from the
|
|
inside. The window is also shut, and is too small for a man to crawl
|
|
through it. The only item in the room is a broken pencil.
|
|
What happened?
|
|
|
|
Haven't figured the other murder problem out yet...

OK. You are kissing you wife on the 28th floor, and then - you leave.
|
|
This is an everyday job - you're married!
|
|
However, on the next following day, you kiss her goodbye and while
|
|
travelling to the lobby via elevator, it stops: on the 7th floor.
|
|
You know automatically that you wife is dead. You job is to figure
|

out how.

When this book came out it was read by a handful of very rich people. Now

almost everyone has a copy and frequently reads it. But you cannot buyt

it in a bookstore or borrow it from a library. What is it?

A woman walked up to a man behind a counter and handed him a book. He

looked at it and said, "That will be four dollars and fifty cents." She

paid the man and then walked out without the book. He saw herleave

without it but did not call her back. How come?

OK, I think this one's relatively easy, as a lot of you may have heard
|
|
it before, but here goes:
|
|
A man is found hanged in a room. The only thing in the room is a
|
|
pool of water at his feet. The room has only one door, which is locked
|
|
from the inside - this is the only entrance. The noose he is hanging by
|
|
is too high for the man to have reached from the ground. How did he die?
|
|
|
|
Whaddaya think? too easy? I may have heard this one off TV, in which
|
|
case you probably all know the answer.

Was just wondering if anyone has some insanely funny jokes.
|
|
|
|
I have two old favourites that crack me up everytime, but they're pretty
|
|
stupid really and I'm about the only person in the world who finds them
|
|
funny. And don't I feel like a dick when I tell a joke and everyone just
|
|
stares at me blankly.
|
|
|
|
The first of them is short and simple ....
|
|
Q. Why did the koala fall out of the tree ?
|
|
A. Because it was dead.
|
|
|
|
*takes a break to roll around on the floor laughing*
|
|
|
|
The second is quite a long joke, and needs to be drawn out for it's
|
|
impact. So to tell that one I'll spread it over several posts, with a
|
|
small time gap between each post. Here goes ...
|
|
|
|
There's a really rich man named Fred, who has a single child. A son named
|
|
Jim. Now Fred is filthy rich and promised himself that as his son grew
|
|
up, Jim would have anything and everything his little heart desired. By
|
|
the time he was 6 years old, Jim had all the toys imaginable for a young
|
|
boy. His father had run out of imagination for things to get him and his
|
|
7th birthday was in a few days. So Fred went up to his son, and said
|
|
"Jim, I have no idea what to get you, so just tell me what you want and
|
|
it's yours. Absolutely anything you want, just name it." Jim thinks
|
|
about this for a little while, and says "Dad, I know this sounds a little
|
|
strange, but I've thought about it, and all I want for my birthday is ..."
|
|
|

"All I want for my birthday is a single pink golf ball". Jim's
|
|
father looked at him in shock and said "Son ! You can have anything
|
|
you want. Anything at all ! And all you want is a pink golfball ?"
|
|
Jim replied "Yes dad, all I want is a single pink golfball.".
|
|
|
|
A few days later, Jim's birthday rolls around, and Fred presents his
|
|
son with a brightly wrapped gift which turns out to be a pink
|
|
golfball. Jim jumped up and down excitedly, and thanked his dad
|
|
profusely, then ran to his room. A short while later, all sorts
|
|
of strange thumps and groans could be heard coming from his room.
|
|
The pink golfball was never seen again.
|
|
|
|
Time passed, and Christmas came around. Again, stuck for ideas, Fred
|
|
asked his son what he would like for Xmas. Jim said "Dad, that pink
|
|
golfball you got me was REALLY great, but it didn't last as long as I'd
|
|
hoped. Do you think you could get me TWO pink golfballs for Xmas ?"
|
|
After a brief discussion, Fred conceeded and went off to purchase two
|
|
pink golfballs for his son's Xmas gift. Xmas day came around and Jim
|
|
unwrapped his two pink golfballs, and immediately ran to his room where
|
|
mysterious thumps, bangs, crashes, and groans could soon be heard.

The next year, young Jim's 8th birthday came around, and sure enough,
|
|
he requested more pink golfballs. "Dad," he said, "This year, it
|
|
would be really really REALLY great if you could get me FOUR pink
|
|
golfballs." Jim's birthday came around and four pink golfballs
|
|
were given to Jim. Christmas rolled around yet again, and (on request)
|
|
Jim got EIGHT pink golfballs. For about two days after Xmas, Jim
|
|
did not emerge from his room, locking himself in and ignoring his
|
|
father knocking on the door when various thumps, crashes, groans
|
|
and the occasional muffled scream could be heard.
|
|
|
|
More years passed, and Jim only ever requested more and more pink
|
|
golfballs. "Dad, 20 pink golfballs please", "Dad, 50 this year if
|
|
you REALLY want to make me a happy child", "Oh sweetest father of
|
|
all fathers, I will love you forever if you get me 100 pink
|
|
golfballs". After each birthday or Xmas, Jim disappeared and did
|
|
SOMETHING with the balls, involving many bangs, thumps, crashes,
|
|
tinkling of broken glass, groans, laughter, barely supressed screams,
|
|
and something that resembles a very quiet air raid siren.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, Fred (Jim's father) was overwhelmed by curiosity, and crept
|
|
into Jim's room while the boy was at school one day ...

The answer is....

The truck driver was WALKING down the one way street.

Never assume anything in lateral puzzles...most of you were assuming he

Fred crept into his son's room and found everything in perfect
|
|
order. Nothing was smashed or broken, there were no dead bodies
|
|
laying around, nothing. Not even a single pink golfball of the
|
|
hundreds that Jim had been given.
|
|
|
|
Another year passed, and Jim only ever asked for more and more
|
|
pink golfballs. 100, 200, 500, 1000 pink golfballs !!! And as
|
|
always, Jim locked himself in his room and for days, all that could
|
|
be heard from him was bangs, crashes, choking sounds, laughter,
|
|
screams, moderated air raid sirens, and now something that closely
|
|
resembles silenced gun shots.
|
|
|
|
When Jim next emerged from his room, he came to his father and said,
|
|
"Dad, where do they make these pink golfballs ?". Fred told his son
|
|
that the golfballs came from a factory in Saudi Arabia and that he
|
|
had to deal directly with the factory since he had been buying bulk.
|
|
Jim said "Dad, can we please please please PLEASE go visit this
|
|
factory ? PLEEEEEASE !". Fred had nothing better to do that weekend,
|
|
so on Saturday morning the two of them boarded his private Leer jet
|
|
and took off for Saudi Arabia ...

My answer was: The policeman didn't arrest the guy because he (the

policeman) was looking out of his hospital room window, bedridden,

therefore he could not arrest the guy.

Technically, your answer may have worked, but a simple, post-obvious
|
|
answer formed from a little lateral thinking is the one which makes the

reader go "Dooh ! Why didn't I think of that.".

Fred and his sone Jim are flying over Saudi Arabia, in Fred's private
|
|
Leer jet, on the way to the pink golfball factory. Suddenly the jet
|
|
engine chokes, whines, and dies. The jet spirals to the ground and
|
|
*BOOM*, it crashes in the middle of the desert. The pilot and co-pilot
|
|
are killed instantly, but miraculously Fred and Jim survive.
|
|
|
|
Battered and bruised, the two set off over the desert to try and reach
|
|
civilisation. The scorching hot sun beats down on them, then a freezing
|
|
cold night sets in. Another day begins as they trudge over the endless
|
|
sand dunes. Soon the heat becomes too much and the pair collapse in
|
|
exhaustion. "Dad ...", Jim wheezes, "I ... *choke* ... don't think I
|
|
can go on much ... *wheeze* ... longer.". Jim pauses to catch his
|
|
breath. "Dad, I think *cough* ... I'm going to die". Fred cries out
|
|
"NO !!! Son, please, tell me before you die, what did you want all
|
|
those pink golfballs for and what the hel did you do with them ?"
|
|
|
|
Jim looks his father in the eye and says "Well dad, I guess there's no
|
|
harm in telling you now. My master plan won't ever get completed now
|
|
anyway. So dad ... *choke* ... the reason ... *wheeze* ... I wanted
|
|
all those ... *cough* ... pink golfballs for ... *hack* ... is ..."
|
|
With a final gasp for air, Jim slumped his head to the sand and died.

Perhaps we could all (or many of us) agree on a good bbs which we could

OK. For all you that haven't figured it out or guessed it properly,
|
|
here's the answer.
|
|
|
|
The hospitalized spouse was laying in bed with a EMS hooked to the
|
|
body. If there is no electricity, there is no life. And for all
|
|
of you who would think along the lines of a battery pack: unless
|
|
your awareness is hightened on each and every occasion of bad
|
|
occurences, there would be a slim chance of connecting to a "battery
|
|
pack" unit to sustain the victim in time. If ever tried, remember
|
|
that it might cause more harm than good. Sorry it took so long
|
|
to answer.
|
|
|
|
And now, for our GRAND PRIZE winner (the guy who got it first):
|
|
|
|
On September 27, pick up your all expense - paid meal at the
|
|
Subway address mentioned in E-Mail. You earned it!
|
|
|
|
And yall thought AK came short of the game plan. Next joke!

I was just thinking ... I wonder what happens to anyone that was
|
|
in one of these weird net-relationship things where their only
|
|
means of contact was via yabbs. Yabbs closing down would really
|
|
be messing with their mind, particularly if one of them didn't have
|
|
an email site or anything. But I guess you have to have a messed
|
|
up mind in the first place to be in a "relationship" with someone
|
|
you've never met and are never likely to meet.

We will hopefully find out. We're gonna try and get a copy of the base of
|
|
Alex after yabbs goes down. And who knows ... if Death brings up his own
|
|
yabbs, maybe he can get the bases of Alex and continue from where we left
|
|
off :)
