  1. was raised on that movie. watched the dogfighting scenes over and over. that entire movie should go in the ubertones thread <!--QuoteBegin-HESHIANDET@Feb 20 2006, 12:03 AM that would be dope. i'd crash, or try to bust a nut Quoted post "so did he cum or what??!!!"
  2. I have read bout some shit where they take you up in somethin like a F-5, give you controll and you can dogfight someone else like laser tag. I would love to do that..
  3. naw, I'm pretty much done. I don't really get the aggression, but whatever... teard down my shitty warr!!!
  4. I wouldn't say that a third world war has been in effect yet. I would agree with you that political trends in the last decade will/would predicate such a thing. China is already in a suprising amount of power compared to the US. The recent hubub about google.cn is a good example of this. The global community has had many points in time in which to confront "human right's violations" commited by China. When we contemplated allowing them in to the WTO. When we continually ignored the imbalance in value between China's currency comparitive to our own. So on and so forth. The balance of power has been shifting for a while, we are just starting to actually see the implications of that change now though. There was a really good article that I read the other day (lost the link) which talked about the implications of the recent riots over the Danish cartoon and what that means for the concept of statehood and whoo actually impliments norms in those states. That a theocratic community is positing the need and righteousness of tolerance as a means to subversively put constraints on what can be put into the public forum of a foreign soverignty with no ties to that community is awesome in its range of global implications (what a rediculous sentence). And that it worked is even more amazing. The main figures one should expect to see in this new war of yours; US, A global Islamic theocracy predicated on a religious version of the social contract, China, Europe, and Hugo Chavez...ha. I just wanna move to Japan. That place will never be fucked with again... Even if they were to be taken over by China or somewhere else, no one is stupid enough to fuck with the technological engine of the world. It would all be paper control. Socially and economically Japan is prolly one of the most stable places for the coming years. Or new zealand. not to turn this into a crossfire thread... I think it's interesting that this discussion is even occuring though. The fact that we, a global community of sorts, are openely identifying contemporary events as reflective of something like a world war is pretty intense. The next two decades are gonna be a fucked up place. Just gonna have to sit and watch I suppose.

    POSTER!

    I used to live right near the club in the red poster.
  6. Imagine being the person to run over the body...
  7. thats pretty intense. Ironic in that it looks exactly like a dummy hitting the ground in some stunt in a bad movie, that one typically criticizes.
  8. Yeah, I was talking about an evaluation of how the original concepts of a social contract were executed in history and how it shaped the contemporary world. The book is an examination of the metastructure of all of the different contracts and the underlying racial currents among them.
  9. was micheal j fox in that movie?
  10. Well said Milton. Have you read the racial contract? I suggest you give it a look, I think you'll find it particularly relevant and interesting. It is a look at the contractarian structure of contemporary politics and the racial requisites of those contracts. Really awesome. anywho...
  11. bumping as to keep this up in the conversation and not pushed down by krylon2's useless post rampage...
  12. I wonder if the mods sometimes let these stay open just to see how long we ridicule the poster for being stupid enough to solicit here...
  13. Thank you Milton for saying what I couldn't express in my frustration.
  14. Had more to do with the creation of the middle class at the end of the feudal era in Europe. Read up on that if you want an answer.
  15. It's all about ZPE, Zero Point Energy wonk saggin scisyhp
  16. I read the full story tonight. That was really interesting. Honestly, that was a bit of the sort of revelation I had the first time I ate shrooms (I'll edit all this out if you need me to mams). It was much like the experience expressed in one of the stories in the salvia divinorum thread. About the guy who discovered the psychoactive agent in salvia. I have been really enamored with this idea of the infinite and how it applies to the world. It is very hard to articulate. I wish I knew japanese or chinese. I feel that they are better suited for these concepts as most of the seminal texts that have caused me to develope this idea on my own are translated from them. The Tao Te Ching really affected me in this respect. If you take certain representations of the void in the Tao Te Ching, and juxtapose it to Descarte's Immutable Truth's, you get my idea. The Aleph in the story interests me not as a physical point of knowledge, but the possibility of the concept of that point. That we may come to a moment in our mind's where we are capable of concieving of all that can or will not be. Not to sound to paradoxical myself but it does become quite hard to elocute this thought properly. The best way I can express it is to visualize absolutely nothing. The void is everything and nothing. It is all knowledge and what can come of that knowledge. On another note, I have been thinking about how one can consider what death is. Again the thought came to me during my first trip. I think at that point "the fear" had gotten to me and I was trying to grasp for some sense of reality. I started worrying about getting enough oxygen as I had become completely aware of my breathing and felt that it was no longer a subconcious act. In fact I felt that I had blurred the line between my subconcious and concious thoughts. I felt that I had gained more cognitive power over my autonomous bodily functions. And in such I worried about my ability to regulate my breathing if I were to fall asleep. This led me to consider the nature of what sleep actually is. It occured to me that as far as loss of concious action, sleep is the closest thing I can experience to death. I haven't been able to move from that thought much yet. I think there is a lot I can induct from sleep about death, yet I can't quite get there yet. anywho, random thoughts for the night.
  17. angelofdeath- this is rediculous. You want to remove america from most of its trade agreemants? You want to economically isolate us at this point in the world? I can't even respond to you now, because you are far removed from the realities of contemporary economic and political theory. You also keep avoiding answering any questions I may ask. You sidestep the point through rediculous suggestions that could never happen. whatever...

    throwups

    Looks good Elwood.
  19. Have you ever been in south texas? I am just curious? Have you lived in an area where these issues are of major concern? And your assumptions about welfare are rediculous. Just like always you jump on the concept of people sitting on their ass just to recieve welfare. Fuck you and the horse you road in on. My mother and I were on food stamps for several years out of my life. Not because my mom was some stupid fat bitch lazying about her apartment while I ran around aimless in the streets. But because she was a single mother working to get her masters degree while raising me and trying to provide the best education and living condition possible. Do you support programs like WIC? Let's also consider something you said in your last post "hell we protect the border of north and south korea 10 times better than our own. why in the hell would the administration talk about terrorists and them coming to get us, andleave the borders wide open? i know know, the latino vote" Have you ever done research into voting demographics and how public policy effects voter turnout? Living in a household with a political science PhD whom does study this, in a place where it is relevant (Houston), I think I have a little more exposure to these concepts. Go to Laredo and Nuevo Laredo... The only difference between an illegal immigrant and a naturalized citizen is a rediculously stupid test and a sheet of paper... That is it. Beyond any of that, have you ever heard of NAFTA? One of Bush's platform propositions was working with Vicente Fox to open up the boarders for trade between US, Mexico and Canada. They are still turning highway 59 into I-69 which will run from Canada all the way through Mexico. The only thing that caused a slight halt in this was 9-11. As the trade deficit becomes larger and larger america needs to look for more places to export our goods to. We need to create new markets, Mexico is a huge possibility for that. Thus the reason we must, at a federal level keep rather open lines of communication, politically and physically. There is so much more that plays into things like this than I think you give creedance to. Politics isn't simple minded banter about the ideological foundations of our country...
  20. maybe it's just me, but I'd like to see this thread stick to quality photographs, not kitchy things like that...

    Shoes?

    I hate you raven...
  22. the minute men are not acting as a seat belt. they are harrassing actual citizens and at times have attacked them as well... My stepdad is mexican by birth, and a naturalized citizen. I can assure that if he went down there he would get some shit...
  23. The one's whom I want to read them, do. edit to appease Flavicon's sense of grammatical formalism in an informal response...
