Coatlition against death by EM Cioran
How imagine other people's lives, when our own seems scarcely conceivable? We meet someone, we see him plunged into an impenetrable and unjustifiable world, in a mass of desires and convictions superimposed on reality like a morbid structure. Having made a system of mistakes for himself, he suffers for reasons whose nullity alarms the mind and surrenders himself to values whose absurdity leaps to the eye. What are his undertakings but trifles, and the feverish symmetry of his concerns any better built than an architechture of twaddle? To the outside observer, the absolute of each life looks interchangeable, and every fate, how ever fixed in its essence, arbitrary. When our convictions seem the fruit of a frivolous lunacy, how tolerate other peoples passions for themselves and for there own multiplication in each day's utopia? By what necessity does this man shut himself up in a particular world of predilections, and that man in another?
When we endure the confidences of a friend or a stranger, the revelation of his secrets fills us with astonishment. Are we to relate his torments to drama or to farce? This depends entirely on the good will or exasperations of our lassitude. Each fate beign no more than a refrain fluttering around a few bloodstains, it is up to our moods to see in the disposition of such sufferings a superfluous and piquant order, or a pretext for pity.
Since it is difficult to approve the reasons people invoke, each time we leave one of our fellow men, the question which comes to mind is invariably the same: how does he keep from killing himself? For nothing is more natural than to imagine other peoples suicide. When we have glimpsed, by an overwelming and readily renewable intuition, anyone's own uselesness, it is incomprehensible that everyone has not done the same. To do away with oneself seems such a clear and simple action! Why is it so rare, why does everyone avoid it? Because, if reason disavows the appitite for life, the nothing that extends our acts is nonetheless of a power superior to all absolutes; it explains the tacit coalition of mortals against death; it is not only the symbol of exsistance, but exsistance itself; it is everything. And this nothing, this everything, cannot give life a meaning, but it nonetheless makes life perserve in what it is: a state of non-suicide.
ANIMATED GIFS! seriously thats like the longest one ive ever seen. i could only get as far as the guy in the blue shirt and the old people in congress.
great. ive always wondered why people bother buying dvds. i mean thats like 20$ for something that you will probably only watch once. for really great movies, i cant think of more than 5 myself, then i would buy the dvd. the rest, people just like buying things.
i have never figured that one out. but your the reason that the industry isnt suing me so thanks!!!
oh and i recently downloaded the league of extrodinary gentlemen which sucked. i figure for every movie i watch that sucks the industry owes me one movie that is at least passible. even LOTR 3 wasnt that great and i saved 15$ goign to see it (plus cost of gas).
its not like im bankrupting the industry at all and even when i show my non tech friends vcds, most of them complain about quality anyways. the only reason people cared about mp3s is that the media latched on to it and basically challeneged the industry to do somethign about it.
because language is about getting ideas across. sure if everyone prints the same things its alot easier but its passible and should not be counted negatively against, one who cannot spell.
there ideas are no less valid.
oh and the countries who use english cant even agree on spellings. colour, i think is the proper way to spell it. what do you think? well then.
so stfu and stop beating up on crippled kids. if you must be so lame, secretly acknowledge that your better than them and realize NO ONE ELSE CARES except people who think excactly the way you do. because if only like minded people come to your defence, how right can you be?
curious i looked it up. hes right. i guess thats why they call it pepper spray. always wanted to know what was the hottest. anyone know where to get daves hot sauce?
they dont have any weapons. how were they goign against the inspections if they didnt have weapons? we now kill countries because they dont let foreigners polk around in their depths?
plain old american hipocrasy
oh and when you create disorder you create terrorists so have a nice relaxing rest of your life.
"In Canada, it is legal to borrow content (a CD, movie, etc) from a friend (or stranger), and copy it for your own personal use.
It is not legal to MAKE copies of content you own, and distribute it to friends (or strangers)."
whats the difference between borrowing something (you have a copy they have copy) and distributing (you have a copy(maybe) they have a copy -$$$). sounds to me like borrowing implies an act of goodwill and not an act of selfishness as in charging for it.
is letting other people use your bandwidth and your time for no charge, more akin to friend type behaviour, or that of a capitalistic pig?
the point of art is to say something. if no one hears you because they cant aford 20$+ a cd, who looses out? society.
besides i went xmas shopping with a friend today and watched her easily spend 120$ on dvds and cds. why? because people always want to buy things! materialism... aint it grand
but americans created the problem with the sanctions. All the other countries tried to help the battered people of iraq and you dare call acuse them? what about blaming the americans for supplying the biological and chemical weapons to use on the kurds?
also please provide a link that links the french and russians with helping sadam steal food from his people. otherwise its just normal american racist FUD.
the only thing interesting about him being captured is to observe what the usa does to him. i say make him some sort of commentator from behind bars on american polocies. he could be on cnn and stuff when the president makes a decision he could give his opinion. i doubt hes an insane psycho, i want to know what his perspective is.
"Dont try to claim that just because the military weapons cost but loads of money thatthey are any more precise, smart or otherwise more effective than any other weapon that may have a smaller price tag. "
hey i just thought of something. is a board with a rusty nail in it a chemical weapon?
what if people wernt so greedy and actually thought; hey i want to make something FOR THE BETTERMENT OF MANKIND rather than for my own personal gain. wouldnt that be a better world. it is possible.
you owe society. unless your a libertarian.
i enjoy writing. if i ever write anything worth publishing, then i would want more people to see it than buy it. i have heard more bands than i would have EVER baught cds of. some are easily in my top 5 bands now. movies too. and i actually did go out and buy donnie darko after downloading the divx. Why? because it was one more way of exhibiting the film to get the content out there! (friends/realitives/business associates)
i guess thats really what it comes down to: fortune fades, fame is immortal. in the long run this also has the side effect of benifiting and improving humanity.
"How often do you sit down for a relaxing session at your PC, only to discover you can't find that file you saved six months ago but forgot the name of it. "
oh yeah its ANNOYING when i stupidly name files! here i was thinking it was my fault and not the inatimate object that just takes what i give it... duh!
dont get me started on how i can never remember my aol password! why doesnt the computer remember it for me? surely this would save people MILLIONS of hours of time!
come on. i mean, come on.
"They that can give up essential control of the PC to obtain a little temporary comfortability deserve neither control nor comfortability." -- Benjamin Franklin v.2.0
"Now you got me interested... I never played Fallout, but I definitely loved "A canticle for Leibowitz". Do you know if the game is still available?"
other way around.. does that book have a 'vault dweller' character a crazy nuclear powered car and 2 headed brahmin?
cause that would get me interested in the book..
you can probably get that game off kazaa or in a bargain bin for $10 (if you want to pay for things). ebay is good too first listening is 5.50 for fallout 2. play one and then two it will make more of an impact, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD dont play fallout tactics.
i dont think kurt much cares if i download his music. all dead peoples music should be public domain. unless that made for insane fans who killed people to pirate their music but i cant really control that.
whats a dead guy going to do with my money? oh his children/heirs are intitled to it? yeah thats what we need, more paris hiltons. " Im too upset to party! "
"The scary thing about prions is that they are resistant to digestive enzymes in your digestive tract. Thus, diseases like mad cow disease may propagate indefinitely"
dont you think indefinitely is a little harsh? i mean your talking generations of mutant canibals eating one another.
i think it kinda finishes propagating when the host dies.
the people on nova pull them off satelites up to a week before they air.
"(Q) Why are some eps out before they air and some after?
Some networks (Fox, WB) encrypt their wildfeed, meaning that certain eps can not be capped sucessfully. Other networks may adopt encryption, so don't count on eps being available until after they air. This is new to the 2003-4 season, so shows you were able to get before they aired last year may not be available until after airing starting this season.
(Q) What are wildfeeds?
Wildfeeds are a transmission by the network to distribute the episode before it airs around to the tv relay stations. You need to be in the correct location and have a large satelite dish in order to receive them.
do mormons really believe that that guy was given gold plates from god? and that the idians used to be from isreal but god got mad and turned them red?
i didnt really believe it because im not american but if it is trure, wow. just wow.
but a translator from any of those languages wouldnt work unless they were able to at least get the base idea of what they were saying.
what i think the parent should have said is that if its an idea it can be translated. you might just have to make up some new words in english to translate them. maybe someone who speaks alien or even kanji can say the contents of a sentance in one word but hey, you can always fall back on the sentance.
you know the only people i have ever met that speak in latin are priests and people who desperately want others to think that they are smart.
the only problem here is that you dont know what your talking about. she didnt deprive anyone of anything so its not theft. period. 1100 songs isnt that many at all. most casual downloaders i know fill up their hard drives with music. a hardcore pirate has 10k at least.
when will people realize that if your in the music business to make money, you have no right to be in the music business. its about sharing ideas and creating things for the enjoyment of humanity.
if society collapsed and people were actually judged on their merits instead of how much money they have -- i know bob dylan would be welcome in more peoples post apocolyptic shanty towns. where as people like nsync or michael jackson would be hunted down and eaten.(ok MJ would probably like that so not for him)
as you say, ignorance is not an excuse so maybe you should clam up.
but assholes are everywhere. how do you deal with them in real life? the first time i saw goatse i didnt like it. now if i get tricked into viewing it i just laugh because i fell for it.
you are taking the internet way too seriously. so some newbie gets offended by penisbird or animal love -- how do you think you grow up and become desensitized to all that shit? by ignoring it? its not like its going to go away.
the moderation system is really messed up but its the best we got. if you had slashdot editors deleteing people deemed 'not societaly acceptable', well i for one would not like it if i had to watch what i say for fear of big brother. do you think the editors should dictate what is 'right'? do you think anyone should make this decision for you?
