Enrico last winter print his own dollars, in lovely downtown Toledo area.  Many homeless peoples take them in exchange for hug, but nobodys else is interest.  Even when threatened with .45, they only call polices.  So good lucks, faggot.

Well fuck you. Fuck you very much :)

Bad move.  The last guy Enrico fucked wound up as a one-legged prostitute in Liverpool.  They call him Brenda.

We don't talk about it much.

lol It's all fun and games until you wind up a one-legged prostitute In Liverpool.

I found something small wrapped in tinfoil in the freezer, so I ate it.

It was probably chocolate, you should be OK.

I don't think I would consider blind obedience, the most evil thing a person could do but it definitely is the most amoral.

You know, I fail to see a functional difference.

I may be wrong but to my understanding evil implies malicious intent, where as amorality dose not.
one functional difference is that in most legal systems, intent is factorized into judgement and sentencing.
On a side note, often if remorse is shown by the convicted a lighter sentence is given.

Evil doesn't work without apathy.  Witness the "Good Germans" who had NO idea what was happening at the death camps in Germany itself. 

Amorality is part & parcel of evil.   One cannot exist without the other.

Apathy would more likely be considered immoral then amoral. would it not (unless you are using the words synonymously)?

I should have been more clear in making a distinction between amorality and immorality.  Acting Immorally is evil, because it requires knowing the difference between good and evil and choosing the latter.

When I made the statement about letting someone do your thinking for you as not being necessarily evil, I was playing the devils advocate for the bible thumpers that say "surrender your self to God".  I did not see it as inherently evil because someone can do this and think it makes them a good person.  However I need to give this some more thought because using the "surrendering ones self to god" example would be a direct violation of free will and therefore inherently evil.

I hope that came out intelligible. insomnia=fun times.

As a lurker I found it strikingly true when TGRR says

He was a jackass and I'm glad he's dead.

Lol.  You probably should be should be grateful to him.  He is kind of like your own personal messiah. He had to die so you could live. At the very least, with him gone you get a little more time at the helm.

Thanks. I appreciate your help.

As a lurker I found it strikingly true when TGRR says that this Board gives people what they came for.  Some people come in here with a chip on their shoulder or an agenda and when things don't go their way, They accuse ya'll of being in a clique or the "Cool Kids Club". Generally any flame directed towards them was not because of them having a different point of view but because they could not back up there views with reason and refused to concede any points.
When new people come here with questions or to share ideas and seek feedback, they to get what they came for.

So when can I get my Cool Kids Club card?

When I was in my teens I thought that I knew everything. In my twenty I still thought I knew better then most. Now I'm not sure what I know or if I know anything at all.  My biggest problem with the Principia Discordia isn't the stale jokes(I'm a cheesball and I eat that shit up). It's that with all the intentional contradictions, it encourages people to think for themselves. I'm old enough now to know that there are plenty of people that are way more qualified then myself to think my thoughts for me.   
... dude, what? What you are saying leads to blind obedience and blind obedience is the ultimate evil.


I was going to comb through PD to find a comment that sounded eloquent and thought provoking regurgitate as my reply but I seem to have caught myself in a Logical Fallacies Trap. If I am not qualified to think my own thought then I certainly must not be qualified to judge others.

Well, I have no dollars so that is why I'll be printing my own.  Now it's just a matter of getting an new ink cartridge and seeing how many rubes I can find. :wink:

As far as the design goes, the theme of your dollar could be whatever you want (it doesn't have to be the same as anyone else's)as long as it share some of the same information. Like on the back there should be a statement that explains what a time dollar is and what it can be used for, the number of hour units it is good for, the name of and a way to contact the signatory and the web address where a list is compiled of the participants in the program.

thanks.

this is the mock up of what I have been thinking about using for my Flaxscrip. using the format of indigenous currency triggers a Pavlovian response and will cause people to pick it and examine it when they see it. However I think it should be up to the individual what their design looks like so long as it has some basic information and is eye catchy.  What do you think?

Well shit :cry: I wish I would have posted sooner. I suppose it would be a bit too forward to ask to tast some of QG Pennyworth's salty balls now.

But yea, In game currency would be a good way of looking at it because Discordianism can easily be looked at as a LARP by some.  Now I am fixated on Pennyworth's salty balls but that would make a perfect scenario to implement Flaxscript. She has a skill that she is willing to share with the community.  Suppose she would be willing to trade her salty balls for Flaxscript and perhaps some money to cover cost of materials and shipping. She could then use the note to call in a favor or even place it in a book at a library for some random person to find.  I think Cramulus may like to use it for the latter prosperous. I have seen In the past where he likes to put up posters directing people to this site.
