    Thanks Calz for the attempt on Lonesome Dove. DVD I have. Just wanted to share with others.

    Wore myself out hitting the thankyou button, I have! (Calz is getting contagious, he is).
    So many haha moments, I have!

    You know you guys, we can go back to being 16. All it takes is a quiet dark room and imagine. Can you imagine? John Lennon

    fear porn almost 50 years later.



    So those who didn't get caught up in it and went on to create beautiful, laughing, evolutionary and magical lives had fun, and those who got all caught up and angsty and spent their lives screaming and ranting and insisting that everything was doom didn't.

    What can we learn from this, I wonder? *ponder ponder ponder, tapping chin thoughtfully*

    My personally recommended response for dealing decisively and effectively with fear porn:

    You know, it seems to be a massive salmon around the head for most individuals to even remotely contemplate that? SO much focus on 'the problem is all OUT THERE' *point point vigorously point* while insisting that one's own particular brand of virus doesn't smell like the crap that it actually is. *shakes head* It gets massively tedious actually- I feel like I'm out here on the edge of amazing, nomming on my own virus like the tasty snack it is, dancing to my own music



    and wondering when the rest of the party is going to get here. I honestly have no idea what the attraction is to having a crap time. *boggle*

    It is a little understood fact that hard core go go dancing requires hard core boob anchorage if one is intent on preventing a black eye.

    *hard core go go dances to Little Less Conversation*

    I found the fear porn thing to be a process. I went through it for several years, and I had enormous fun being outraged, scared and horrified at the monsters who control the world. My rage and disgust were delicious for the virus. I'm really good at rage and disgust. Then I got over it, and now I have only the occasional flashback. It was a potent drug after all.

    Having mostly gotten over it ... when I do occasionally glance at the world and its focus I find more and more that it's absurd. The naughty people who control everything seem to be even more palpably grotesque in their machinations and lies; their victims (about seven billion of them) seem ludicrous in their earnest commitment to idiot victimhood. It's like a huge, vile circus managed and audienced by people in a dirge-like dream of clownish nonsense that perpetuates with no point.

    Nasty dead creatures with twisted, blackened hearts play a huge chess game using billions of selfish, witless fools who WANT to play ... to be played. The planet of the apes is nothing if not selfish and hypocritical. The Western world is dotted with huge, hell buildings where billions of living, feeling creatures die horrifically so that the apes can eat death and whine and bleat about their rights and any affront to their civilisation. So that they can use cosmetics to make themselves powdered, pretty apes and seek ape mates with whom to carry on the great death circus. Oh, the humanity.

    There is only one sane reaction to this.



    Enjoy it. Enjoy the death and pointlessness circus. If you like. But there are better shows in town. Oh, not at the big Multiplexes, but through unlit doorways in strange back alleys and in unassuming tea-shops. Be a snob.

    So anyway, like I said, it's a process. Or it should be. Unfortunately the membrane of realization seems to trap so many people, so that you get these bulging membranes full of those caught in a different flavoured virus loop. An alternative flavour. The virus has a wide selection on offer for its paying customers. Every taste is catered for.

    I couldn't give a flying f*** who did 9-11. Somebody did, and it was ugliness and death, leading to far greater ugliness and death. All I really need to know is that whoever did it, they are a bunch of sh***. That's fairly obvious, wouldn't you say? Do you really think figuring out exactly who did it will change anything? Do you really think that the beings who have controlled this world for so many thousands of years can't out-think a newbie chess player like you? Do you really think they don't have contingency plan after contingency plan lined up to foil them? For that matter, do you really and truly think that it makes a blind bit of difference who becomes President, or Prime Minister? Get a grip. If people want to take vaccines and eat poison, let them. If you don't want to then the onus is on you to figure out how to avoid it. After all, the 'secret' to everything is very simple and you already know it. YOU ARE HERE. It's a sign-post that simply tells you your location. That's the secret to existence. You can't know where you're going if you don't even know where you are.

    If you dislike the game then don't play it. Sure, it's a big game and there seems no way to get off the bloody board, I know that. But that's only because we're so engaged in the game. If you snap yourself out of it and look up you remember you're in a nice room with music playing and nice food in the fridge, and you may have the delightful thought: 'stuff chess'. Or checkers. People call this magic, schizophrenia, apotheosis, sanity, remembrance, many other things. People can call it what they like. Most of the world is playing someone else's game. What the hell good is consensus opinion to me? Lowest common denominator, I call it. Stuff it.

    If you don't like the game, don't play it. I've posted this before in an entirely different context, but it seems so appropriate here. Oh, and if you don't like Anglo Saxon language, then A) don't watch this clip, and B) learn some perspective.



    So anyway, like I said ... it was a process and I'm over it. Apart from the animal thing. I'm not over that. I don't know what the animals's Sui Generis is ... but it all seems bloody unfair to me. That is why, on occasion, my impartiality glitches and I see a stinking species of filthy moron murder apes who deserve every horror and 'injustice' they get. I haven't figured this one out yet, but I always was a 'stick up for the underdog' kind of a Sith. There's a lot of virus in that too, I know. Still, there are plenty of people who frequent this forum who know exactly where I'm coming from on that one (even if they wouldn't be quite so Sith-like and vitriolic about it), and so I don't lump them in with the murder apes. Even if they get stuck in that tiresome fear porn membrane instead of passing through it as they'd be better off doing.

    One more thing. When I was a very young man I walked home one night after drinking heavily with friends, and I unwittingly walked right through a riot that dominated the national news the next day. There is a long thoroughfare in this town, and on that night it was mysteriously full of violent people, police men, police dogs, police cars screeching up and down in dramatic fashion, and an awful lot of property damage. Someone ran past me screaming with a broken bottle protruding from his eye.

    I didn't have a clue what was going on, and of the many dozens of people I saw, I was the only one not engaged in fighting, smashing, running or being beaten up. As I said, I was pretty drunk. I just wanted to get home and go to bed. Through no wisdom or cleverness of my own, I held the prevailing thought of "this is nothing to do with me", and I simply walked the quarter mile or so untouched and apparently unnoticed. I was only alarmed and worried the next day when I saw it all on the news. Eek.

    No, I don't have all the answers. I do at least know enough to stop asking the wrong questions.

    Now back to the moustaches.

    Quote Posted by Borden (here)
    I found the fear porn thing to be a process. I went through it for several years, and I had enormous fun being outraged, scared and horrified at the monsters who control the world. My rage and disgust were delicious for the virus. I'm really good at rage and disgust. Then I got over it, and now I have only the occasional flashback. It was a potent drug after all.

    Having mostly gotten over it ... when I do occasionally glance at the world and its focus I find more and more that it's absurd. The naughty people who control everything seem to be even more palpably grotesque in their machinations and lies; their victims (about seven billion of them) seem ludicrous in their earnest commitment to idiot victimhood. It's like a huge, vile circus managed and audienced by people in a dirge-like dream of clownish nonsense that perpetuates with no point.

    Nasty dead creatures with twisted, blackened hearts play a huge chess game using billions of selfish, witless fools who WANT to play ... to be played. The planet of the apes is nothing if not selfish and hypocritical. The Western world is dotted with huge, hell buildings where billions of living, feeling creatures die horrifically so that the apes can eat death and whine and bleat about their rights and any affront to their civilisation. So that they can use cosmetics to make themselves powdered, pretty apes and seek ape mates with whom to carry on the great death circus. Oh, the humanity.

    There is only one sane reaction to this.



    Enjoy it. Enjoy the death and pointlessness circus. If you like. But there are better shows in town. Oh, not at the big Multiplexes, but through unlit doorways in strange back alleys and in unassuming tea-shops. Be a snob.

    So anyway, like I said, it's a process. Or it should be. Unfortunately the membrane of realization seems to trap so many people, so that you get these bulging membranes full of those caught in a different flavoured virus loop. An alternative flavour. The virus has a wide selection on offer for its paying customers. Every taste is catered for.

    I couldn't give a flying f*** who did 9-11. Somebody did, and it was ugliness and death, leading to far greater ugliness and death. All I really need to know is that whoever did it, they are a bunch of sh***. That's fairly obvious, wouldn't you say? Do you really think figuring out exactly who did it will change anything? Do you really think that the beings who have controlled this world for so many thousands of years can't out-think a newbie chess player like you? Do you really think they don't have contingency plan after contingency plan lined up to foil them? For that matter, do you really and truly think that it makes a blind bit of difference who becomes President, or Prime Minister? Get a grip. If people want to take vaccines and eat poison, let them. If you don't want to then the onus is on you to figure out how to avoid it. After all, the 'secret' to everything is very simple and you already know it. YOU ARE HERE. It's a sign-post that simply tells you your location. That's the secret to existence. You can't know where you're going if you don't even know where you are.

    Nope, I like it much better where you are right now- for once it's not me bringing things back into the arena that I love to hang out in. *hugs you from behind* Damn, it's good when you write your sui generis out, I love reading the novel that is you.

    You're only saying that because you can't grow a moustache.
