question? do you believe we live in a democracy? i mean, there are the democratic elements, but really? its a fucking republic. re-pub-lic. look at the fucking president (not the fact that hes republican, the fact that his position exists.) look at the house. look at the supreme court. YOU DONT MAKE THE LAWS. THIS IS NOT. NOT. A DEMOCRACY. i tire of blatent, misrebal fucking blatent, ignorance.
i must admit that it would be a some combination of the two, democracy and republic, but rebublic is far, far the more dominant.
intersting idea i just had. how many people are in the porn industry? in it, making it? no idea, but it seems like a large number. how many people support it, that is, buy porn, who therefore (i assume) think its a good thing? i have a feeling that they outnumber those that are against it. damn complainers. if only they (porn stars, viewers, supproters) could stand up for themselves. fucking taboos.
oh yeah.
"better to let intelligent persons select our policies than the average voter"
if bush is, as you say, a more intelligent person...then i weep for humanity.
good points. some ones i disagree with, but well made.
i dont think that age limits are reasonable. they are a result of complainers. people who find something they dont like, and blame blame blame. someone dosnt like their child seeing porn? well, instead of stopping their child to see porn, they stop (or try to) stop everyone's child from seeing porn. same with violence. and, if you notice, they normally do it after some tear jerker story that is nearly impossible to stand against. little tim commited suicide, and in his note said a song told him too. little tim was fucked up. my point is that a very large number of freedoms are being taken away from us because of our acceptance of sad storys, and our eagerness to simply shut the gates on life and live behind rules to protect us. shit happens. sorry.
im not a woman, so i cant tell you if pron, or media, does to me, but i can tell you what it does to my image/idea/concieved role of women, with me representing a person in society. nothing. i dont have expectations of women, or men. okay...thats stretching it. i used to. i got my current ideas of the sexes (and much else) from media of some kind, and from observation. but now, i dont have expectations for women. or for men. i have expectations for people. i do use what ive observed about women to make judgements. i believe in judgeing people. juege everyone you meet. i do. hundreds of times. not using available information on a person is illogical, unless your information is proved wrong. so i use these sterotypes on women, me too. and blacks. and jews. and (insert minority.) and (insert majority.) i use what i can get. i, however, hold little to no stock in predjudice. and every judgement i make, on anyone, i hold open. i never (rarely) close the book. and i am a result of society. i came to this...idea...whatever it is...from the society in which porn...does whatever it does to women, in your opinion. and fuck books. either reguritate the idea (fuck spelling, as well), like the rest of us, or dont, but dont throw around "the books say." or "i read." if you agree with it, then its enough yours to repeat.
im not going into your political views. democrats and republicans, are, from what ive ever seen in my life, both stupid. s-t-u-p-i-d. and you didnt just help my idea for either. moving towards a democratic state? huh? no one "moved" anywhere. if anything, it was a shiver. bush didnt sweep the thing. he squeaked by. but gore didnt win, either. maybe we just want a real president. (tell you the truth, i wanted mccain, and thats just 'cus he seemed to be human, and to actually care.) anyways, i think ive probially flamed you here, and im sorry. i also thing that i didnt articulate my ideas nearly well enoguh, but im tired. and...i really respect your opinion. you put your points across well (untill the last paragraph.) and i agree with you on most of it. anyways...im sleeping, now.

Review: A.I.

i think that i will have to go see this movie again. it touched on some very good points, and yes, it had its moments of insight. it also had some idiotic parts, but looking back, i think they are outnumbered by the amazing ones...hm. there really was alot, ALOT going on in this movie. i think the thing that gets everyone is that it could have been better. and, looking back, i think the ending is...fair, good even. if only there wasnt a fucking narrator.
i assume that if the airship is carrying something as important as a skyscraper, and there was a real threat, there would be an esort. but you're right, they are eaisy targets. will be, rather.
Buckminster Fuller had some idea akin to this. His plan was to mass produce his Dymaxion Houses and airlift them by zeppelin to where ever. I can't find an exact refrence to this, but I know I read it somewhere. Here's a good Buckminster Fuller page. http://www.cjfearnley.com/fuller-faq.html
Yes, it would be diffrent, no one else could have gotten him convicted. If he said he was going to destroy all the black people with "Tom Cruise missles," he would have never, ever lost this case. It's only when he said it against a major political force like the CoS that he got ass rammed.
Your commenting on the constitution made me thing about it, and I know this is offtopic. I really think that the Constitution is out of date. It's writers did a damn good job, but I think it has to many loopholes, or so it seems. They could never have immagined the issues that would be brought up by the Constitution, so I think it's out of date. The only problem now is figuring out how to get new one writen that isn't corrupt...
I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but I do take your point. Everything I know tells me that the CoS is wrong, yet that goes against everything I belive about living without sticking my nose in other peoples' bussines. Blurry lines are always the most intersting ones. My logical deduction is that if these guys are around for no reason save power and money, then fuck them, burry them. If they're here for religous puropses, to give a glimmer of hope in this often grey world, more power to them. And you really can't compare the evils done be them to the evils done by the Chrisianity, Islam, or even Judaism. Im not familiar with enough other religions to put them in there to.
I disagree with you. Most people learned nothing. Not all. Personaly, I've learned the only way to stop the idiocy (aside from turing schools into prisons.) The unfortunate part is that it's not simple, it's not an eaisy law that suddenly makes everything go away, nor thoughtless zero tolerncy rules. Decency. That's what I've come up with, and luckily I'm still in high school to put it to effect. The problem is, that the only way for this to work is for the majority of people to (GASP!) become aware that other people exist, think, feel. Thats the, I repeate, THE problem. If the other kids had some empathy for Sean or whatever his name, if they didn't feel the need to go provoke him, it woulnd't have happened. If most kids didn't feel the need to be socialy advanced by ostracising the Columbine kids, they wouldn't have snapped. The problem is, that people actualy have to do something to make this work. And all I can speak for is me, I'm doing my part; practicing and spreading the word. So we have learned something, even if most people don't want to admit that they're to blame.
I mean, sure, this is stupid and unfair. But similar happened to me (except the geek part, i can't claim that) a few weeks ago. Some kids came over to me and asked me if i was going to shoot up the school. I felt the same need to make a joke, but i had time to think and realize i couldnt make a threat, my school is anal about that (then again, i live within ten miles of both santana and granite hills, i attend patrick henery) so i said, "yeah, im gonna go home, get my super soaker, and you're all fucked." Come on kid, you had to realize that yo uwould get in trouble (even if you shouldnt)
People like you piss me off. People who say, suck it up, you can take the bullying. True, I can (could rather, I am no longer bullied.) But other kids in schools CANT. Every, every human being has a breaking point. And that point is very eaisly reached when EVERYONE, yes sometimes everyone in high school really is against you. Belive me, I'm there, is CRUEL to you. A very amazing movie I recomend to any cruel person to see is Swimming With Sharks. It's a Kevin Spacey. It's about how Kevin Spacey's charachter drives his assistant, the actors name escapes me, to torture and almost kill him. By being cruel. Every day. Now imagine everyone doing that to you. All the time. Now the best part of it is that at the end Kevin Spacey talks the torturer out of it by showing him he's wrong. The kids at school shooting at other students are wrong in what they're doing, but they have snapped. When you snap, I at least, don't hold you responsible for what you do. Now, back to my point, there is only one way, that I can think of, to end all this death. The kids. They need to become aware that other people are alive. And some are, hell, I am. I haven't been randomly cruel to any kid not like me at school since I, as I like to call it, awakened mentaly in 9th grade. I KNOW it's possible for kids to change, I have. I've made others change thier outlook on curelty. SO what can we do? Start explaining to people about cruelty. Who? YOU! Don't expect anyone to do it for you, I'm not. I'm expecting you to do it with me.
I also love and hate high school. Don't get me wrong, my high school life is almost beyond eaisy. I'm a sophmore and already one of the heaviest hitters in the drama department (due mostly to a huge amoute of graduations of good actors.) I'm popular enough, people like me. But thats not my problem, my problem is with how fucking inhumane other kids are. I was walking with a friend of mine a few weeks ago, he was wearing a strait jacket, he thinks it is the coolest thing in the world, and SEVERAL, not just one, or even two groups of kid threw ROCKS at him. Fucking rocks. In the middle of lunch. They threw rocks and screamed FAG. I hate that word. Not because it's homophobic, but because it is always an negative snap judgement that kids throw out. Diffrent shirt? Destroy. Thats why kids are fucked up. Actauly, just after the 2nd San Diego shooting (I live about ten miles from Santana) my drama class had a class disscusion about it, and a fellow student and I got into a very heated debate over the worf FAG (by the way, the guy I was arguing with is gay.) He thinks it is impossible for people to change out of what they've been cast into (cast mold not arm.) He says he can't even get rid of the word. We debated, it was great. Five people left the room, one crying over the intesity. I loved it. But my point to the whole class was that, even tho they claim that the shootings can't stop, they (not I, I have, throu three years of concious effort, weeded out all but the most seldom cruelty from my speaking) need to learn to stop the random acts of cruelty. I made a point that day, kids came up to me telling me they'd try. Cus thats what makes most of thease shootings, cruelty. Ignornce and insults, fuck them. Anyone can handle them. It's constant cruelty that breaks people. And while kids think it's all right to call everyone they meet FAG, the shootings will continue. I guess what my point is kindof lost here, I'm preaching to the chior, but I like telling storys.
I seem to notice him saying, I'm sorry if you missed the whole part where he apologized about offending anyone, I guess you disregarded that huh? You can assosiate Christianity with the Holocaust because ANY religon in which you are raised to blindly follow something that dosn't exist is WRONG. When was the last time you talked to someone who couldn't think for themself? Sacry, huh? Thats the kind of people religon's make. The only Christian I respect is the born again kind, if you choose, as one of refined thinking, to belive in a ghost, then more power to you. Ever wonder why the book 1984 is so scary? Because it is a very, very short leap from beliving that some old man is around you at all times, knowing everything you do, to beliveing that there is some enemy around you at all times, knowing everything you do. To beliving anything. Faith should never, ever be breed.
"..Scientolotgy is just a bucn of psychobabble..." interesting that most (all) moajor, hell, all other religons are just as stupid, they mearly have hundreds sometimes thousands of years of doublethinking on their side.
I always thought the prequsite for life "made of cells" is totaly ignorant and arogant. It is basicaly saying, here's what we know, and we're gonna disregard every possible thing we don't because we couldn't bear it if there was life not like us so we're just not gonna think about it.

It's not the bun that kills them, it's the bullet ripping throu their body.
Yes it does. Your point is taken, A good family situation can prevent "killer kids" , but the bullying still causes it.
