    I like to bomb niggers. It's so satisfying bombing them out of their nigger mud-huts, while they run around, squealing and jabbering away in their curious nigger language. It's great fun. Anyone got any niggers they need bombed?

    Anyone else seeing a lot of problems lately? When you go to the article's main page, the entire central section is shifted to the left. This is Firebird 0.7. IE6 also has some weirdness.

    You seem to be "in-the-know" regarding prision rape. If I run someone I hate over with my car and kill them, and are subsequently convicted and sentenced, can I expect to become someone's bitch, or be feared as a psychopath? What if I shoot them in the fact in a cold-blooded rage instead? I'm a white male if it makes a difference.

  8. Survival strategies for street games? by fastenrath · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I was wondering if anybody could recommend suitable survival strategies for street games? I'm not talking about games for children but about the very expensive type of game where whole cities start acting around a single person (the player) and newspaper articles, TV news and hollywood movies are made with bits and pieces taken from that person's diary or even his brain ..

    (Yes, telepathy is possible, just very expensive - read last year's news if you don't believe it.)

    While it can be very entertaining to have the whole world revolve around you (including politicians and hollywood stars) the ultimate goal of this kind of game is to kill the player.

    My interest is not purly academical: I'm trapped in a street game right now and you might see why I very much want to break out of this one.

    If you're wondering what a street game is like: It's like being trapped in The Matrix and The Game, with a bit of The Truman Show and Being John Malkovich thrown in.

    The game is wasting a lot of money around me to annoy me and surprise me, but it's more like a cat playing with a mouse it intends to kill sooner or later.

    If you want to help me break ouf of this game you can make 25.000 Euro, which is my offer for anybody who explains to me what this matrix is, I'm trapped in.

    I'm not sure I can be reached by internet or by phone and even if you reach somebody it might be somebody pretending to be me (so don't waste your time on that). The only way I recommend (without really knowing what's going on, of course) is to get close enough to me that the game has to pay your for your cooperation. Since my offer is 25.000 Euro you should be able to get this money from the game if they need you to cooperate.

    Please make them pay this amount as I really would like to see them run out of money!

    You can find me in the following places. (please have a look at my homepage and/or my journal for updates to this travel plan):

    Good quote. Pretty much sums the situation up since 9/11.

    It doesn't appear the purpose of 9/11 was to specifically overthrow consitutional government. Bush and Congress are the ones behind that. 9/11 in my view was probably a combination of retailiation against harms (real or imagined) inflicted by the US on the Middle East and Islam in general and an attempt to actually disrupt some financial machinations. I wonder if they even imagined the US would retaliate back so harshly?
