  • Critical thought. Deconstructing things. Like Western culture. Understanding different points of view. Seeing things for what they are instead of what we have come to accept them as being. Which leads into... Art. These days, like the last four …

  • [quote]www.hp.com/linux Rats! Then I'm against legalisation. SJO: Groverat's saying that you post has merit, but is worded so over the top, it becomes dismissable BS.
  • I'm a socialist libertarian. WTF that means is up to you.
  • LOL. Reminds me of The Onion story about 'The Man' taking offense to allegations by the Black Panthers.'I'm not trying to 'keep them down' he says', etc. I think the protesting of these sorts of events (Gx, WTO, etc) is to provide an alternative …
  • I'm an art student. Oh wait, wrong forum.
  • So let me get this straight, AFA that post, you believe suppression and attack on dissent is not unhealthy for democracy? Because by using that as an example of TJM's apparent "belligerence", that is what you imply. The second part now edited fal…
  • [quote]There are two things that frighten me most about this response to dissent about the Afghanistan war: 1) This is exactly the kind of public attitude encouraged by the Nazis back in the '20s and '30s that led to Hitler gaining power. Not tha…
  • Again, avoid the valid points, get the last word in.
  • Roger, are you this obnoxious to everyone around you in real life, or just online forums? Do you 'let go' when you come here, or do you seriously act this way in your day to day doings? Because if you do, you are one serious asshole to be around.…
  • Dude, haven't you heard? The war on drugs took place a while back. Drugs are gone! There's none to be found!
  • By and large, yes, but there's actually quite a lot of quality, free stuff out there. Esp. on the internet. Like the web browser you're posting with. Not sure if you are using OSX, for example, but 90% of that OS is 'free' as in freedom AND no co…
  • [quote]1. You get what you pay for. True, but keep in mind that books, like software, can be (however slowly) added to. Adobe doesn't toss out their codebase and rewrite PS from scratch every year. They add on to it, maybe remove old bits tha…
  • I, too am stunned that this topic was started by Scotth! But on to his ideas of 'sharing the wealth' of knowledge... It is indeed a bizarre problem, when textbook publishers look at their industry as a money grab, cash crop and not a social resp…
  • You know what would be scary? If no one had the moral fortitude to leak this info. The American people have a need to know that their president is a goddam psychopath with the mental capacity of a five year old. [edited] [ 03-10-2002: Message…
  • Hey, it's -19 degress C right now. The immediate fallout would be kinda nice. Though the nuclear winter following that will put me right back at square one...
  • Times like this, I thank god I'm not American. There's a fantastic quote, by some guy at Harvard or something, that goes: "You think education is expensive? Try ignorance." I'd hate to have a trigger happy, rich, elite, ex-coke snorting, re…
  • Kaboom, has it ever struck you as odd that all mammals, say a mouse and you, have two eyes, ears, nostrils, lungs, kidneys, upper appendages, lower appendages, etc? Both of you have five digits on those four appendages? One nose, head, brain, heart,…
  • I'd like to restate my above post and reassert that humans are animals too. So in light of this, who has the audacity to suggest we, as animals, do not have emotions, but some instincts that merely due to their context appear to be emotions? Oh, …
