Title: PLEASE, Deduce something ridiculous.
Post by: Dr. Cow Ass on September 09, 2012, 07:59:16 AM
I'm asking this community, as well as a variety of other off-kilter interweb communities (most of them are Religious or militant athiests, btw- it just works out that way) to logically deduce something ridiculous, or at least something that seems ridiculous to the uninformed.  That last word means many things to many people, btw. But, I'm trusting this community to come up wit something profound, if not..well, you're out of the discussion.

I don't want to be part of any discussion you're involved in, Cowass, because you're a miserable racist with not a single idea in your head.

Go somewhere else to get ideas to foist off as your own in the above mentioned conversations.

TIA.

1. Dr. Cow Ass had Human parents.
2. Therefore, Dr. Cow Ass must be Human.

The trick here is that the deduction becomes more ridiculous the more informed you are.

Depends who they're talking to, I guess.  You've made your odious racial views well known (ensuring that nothing else you ever say will be taken seriously), then you stomp back in asking for help, and in the same breath telling people that if they don't measure up they should fuck off.

So, you know, fuck off.

I cannot do that. I mean, the forums could boot me, but that really isn't the discordian's style. That's more like Catholic.com's style, the fucks boooted me thrice.

Do you know what my last post was!? I mean my last REAL post?

This is it, posted in 2007, and I thought it was so true...

I think I'm in the same situation as you, that is, I just graduated highschool. You made some good points in your prose that I'm sure have been bought up before, but you can't get so dramatic and gloomy about graduating high school. Imagine when real shit happens in the real world. There's reason to be scared and angry, but you can't let that get in the way of enjoying life, especially now.

I suggest you have as much fun as you still can and stop worrying about rights, the machine, or your far off future for that matter. 

I especially liked the end of the prose where you state "this is only the beginning" because your absolutely right. I don't know about you but I'm pumped as hell right now. I'm 18, I got my whole life in front of me. Ten years from now I could be a revolutionary, a drug addict, a spiritual leader, a serial killer, a UPS warehouse worker, ANYTHING. This is no time to get dark and emo. This is the time to stand up w/ a big smile on my face, pound my chest and charge the world head on.

Oh yes, things are going to get spicy in next decade, very spicy indeed."

I posted that shit in 07'! You had to have see it, Roger.

Exuberantly confident and totally fucked. 

Point I'm trying to make is I've been trying to figure something out, HERE, that's important. Not exactly sure what though.

Or Kill Me / Re: Cain contra Robert Anton Wilson
« on: October 28, 2006, 05:09:48 PM »
Robert Anton Wilson isn't the problem, it's the people that take him seriosuly or think he's a figure head in this thing of ours(which he is, but that's cuz people made him that way.) I first came across Prinicipia Discordia after reading the Illuminatus, and I really can't say it's completely changed my life(either books) but I'm still growing and expirienceing things with an added discordian perspective, so I have to thank RAW. As far as I can tell, RAW was only trying to get a point across in Illuminatus, but he did it in a very confusing, entertaining, and downright ridiculous way(which I love, but not everyone does.) When I read the part where George first discovers the "truth" of the robot when he was being illuminated by Hagbard, I took it to heart. There's SO many authors, philosophers, socioligist, etc. that talk about conformity and all the limitations and problems it could bestow on a person or group, but reading Hagbard talk about the robot presented it in totally original and oddily understandable fashion.



Second, if your pissed about RAW giving a definintion to Discordianism, then create one that's completely opposite. When it comes to Discordianism, there is no Dogma or law except for the ones people impose on it. Keep the people guessing. When asking someone what Discordianism is, they may say...

"There a religion that believes Humor is the key to salvation"

"They believe that all religions, miricles, and phenomina can be explianed through quantum physics"

"I think they believe aliens run the planet and will return in like 400 years or something"

"They have these really weird sex rituals which consist of massive orgies and artificial straw berries"

"Oh, they beileve farting alot will guarentee them safe passage to the next world."

"There just crazy"

And the best...
"I have no fucking clue."

You see, all these answers are true, but technically none of them are true. HA, isn't that beautiful.

Isn't somthing with no name, the same as somthing with many names that are all valid AND invalid.

BTW, wtf does it matter what thornley and hill believed or practiced. They created this monster with the intent of letting in run loose, they're in the same boat as the rest of us now.


In summation, RAW didn't do anything. As a matter of fact he did the only thing a discordian could do and came up with his own theory of how people work and/or should work, but not once, did he ever claim his theory was right or absolute. The fault lies with the dogmatic student, not the sage.


EDIT: Nothing I just wrote is true, but all of it is. Dig?



I am proud of this post. I know you people think, "Well of course you are, IT'S YOUR POST!" But honestly when I found this I had no idea I even posted it. I was too fucked at the time with psychological and recreational (that means drugs) problems. I fucked up so bad in so many aspects of life, but I'm 23 now, btw, and I have time. But when I look on these old posts, it sort of makes me scared and confident at the same time. I mean, look at this post above, I wrote that shit when I was 17 years old, and even now I think it's awesome. Fucked in many ways, of course, but true and awesome nonetheless. I just hope others that come this way can develop the same sense of confidence -false confidence- many will call it, but what do they know?

They've already submitted to dumb happiness, or desperate nihilism.

That would be him.  Mayor MacDonald.  Unfortunately,the guy who ran against him for Mayor died like a month before the election.  And the dead guy actually almost won.  Petitions are going around and all kinds of groups have come together to ask him to apologize and resign. 


Meanwhile, he's basically legitimized open racism and you should see some of the letters-to-the-editor that are being published.  We were actually making some progress, but he went and ripped off the band-aid and made a fresh, seeping wound.

Interesting bit of trivia that I learned in psych class; most racists (above and beyond garden-variety institutionalized racism, which all of us carry around unknowingly) are perfectly aware they're racist, and will avoid surveys and other situations where they are asked to give a direct answer about their racial views.

Observation about Cowass: Rather than directly state that he held some racist views and has changed them, he is evasive and invokes phrases like "out of context" and "twisting my words" to avoid taking responsibility and naming his racism. This indicates to me that his views remain unchanged.

Makes sense. Unless a person is a flat out, obvious, Klan loving, goose stepping, white power MORON, my experience is that people will say racist things but would deeply offended if you called them on it.

Mrs Mang's sister lives in Portland, ME. The only thing I know about the Somalis in Maine is this. A couple of very slender Somali  men picked up my niece's impossibly heavy couch and managed to move it out of her deeply inconvenient shaped apartment without breaking a sweat. She was pretty happy about that because no one would dare pick the damn thing up for fear of blowing a disc. The Somalis were happy to make some easy cash.

Any time someone brings up the Somalis in Portland, my brother in law chuckles and says "Man...I still don't know how they got that frigging thing down the stairs!"

I've done some work with a few in my neck of the woods.  I've always had a very pleasant working experience with them.  And I have to say, they are remarkably resilient, not only having the emotional trauma that comes form what happened in Somalia and the resettlement camps, but living in a foreign new land where there is a very  vocal segment who very much doesn't want you there.
