You mean to say the average person is a dumb, blind lowest common denominator and the society we live in is unpleasantly corporatist, valuing nothing beyond profit? Odin's beard! I'm in shock.

And I disagree that somehow "the bad guys" are more generic. Perhaps you're just no longer seeing everything in black and white and allowing the enemy to just be an airhead instead of some monumental thing of evil for you to hate.

Congrats. No bust necessary.

PD.com: We don't just feed the troll, we make it a fucking five course meal.

(Though replace troll with "uninterestng attention whore" for sake of accuracy)

listen to my internet radio show! 5-7EST, 10-12GMT, every Thursday on www.stressfactor.co.uk

Breakbeat hardcore, oldschool jungle, oldschool gabber, and whatever else I want, live and mixed. Sets also archived for later download, if you'd like to relive the beauty and awesomeness.

Also: see this thread for whenever I decide to just randomly start DJing. Whenever I so desire and nobody else is spinning, I may just start broadcasting.

Had my test set earlier today, so expect no glitches, errors, or rookie mistakes when my first official show starts tomorrow.

Indeed. Emotions vary too much between people to be effectively reduced to a one sentence axiom.

Well, there's a first for everything they say. Today was my first time seeing a trap in phat pants dancing with a chain.

J'm being insufferable on purpose. J'm just an asshole.

I'm going to guess more OUTLANDISH than an asshole.

As simple of a concept as it is, you'd be suprised at how many people don't actually understand it... And even then, those who do often possess an unworded understanding, and oftentimes appreciate having someone quantify it into plain language.

1. I somehow doubt that we are those people.
2. If this was intended towards marketing to the average person, who wouldn't have a concept of that, the point would be lost on them entirely. Rather than go "hmm, here's an interesting view of social interactions I had never considered before" or "I'd been thinking this, but was waiting for someone to write this", they'd go "hey look, some homeless hippy bum wrote about themselves and had stupid ideas on drugs. What's that Mr. Trashcan? You want this? Well okay." Or you'd get dumb "counterculture" kids reading it going "damn straight. What a bunch of conformists. I'm so glad I'm not like that".

Wait a minute, you mean to say people's actions are often determined by social positions they wish to fill? By God, this is indeed some of the most illuminating information I've ever come across!

Teach me oh wise one.

-Thinks that regardless of the outfits coolness, the additional bullshit is unncecessary.

As far as politics goes: see Cain's posts. Couldn't have said it better.

Edit: I'm 15, by the way.

This still blows my mind, btw.

Aww, shucks.

Well, certainly was generic. And Subgenius-y.

Somebody doesn't sound very motivated.  Maybe next time I'll have to illustrate my point with jackboots and a fucking grenade launcher, assuming THEY don't get to you first.  Excuse me for not laying it on thick enough to drown your fucking complacency with a mile-deep layer of WAKE THE FUCK UP.

I believe there was a recent troll/douchebag with similar tactics. Something about how we were all a bunch of pussies and not TRUE DISCORDIANS, because we "sat on our lazy fat asses" and passing out flyers rather than going out and FUCKING SOME SHIT UP!!!!!!11

Hate is getting kind of old, IMO. It's more than a little cliche by this point.

Lack of line breaks; didn't read.

Well, as an extremely atypical Discordian (considering I could very well be the only non 23FNORDPINEAL Discordian below 16), I'll give my story.

Age 10 - Gave up on Christianity (wasn't hard with my parents being very liberal about religion). Figured out it made no sense, so I dropped it.

Age 11 - Read a fair bit of Plato. Was a self important atheist. Got into the somewhat sparklier magikhque systems (without accepting any particular religion)

Age 12 - Realized how much of a douche I was. Sank into a deep depression, and was Buddhist. Depression and Buddhism are a natural combo for me. Any belief system saying that everything is suffering and illusion goes nicely with a mode of "I hate myself, everything sucks". When I was happier, I started getting into chaos magic. Struck me as really interesting, though I took what I read with some pretty big grains of salt. Started to develop an awareness of my more spiritual nature, and was searching through pagan routes for some sort of higher awareness. Looked into Dionysus, Pan, and various other dieties for some sort of guidance. Liked the symbolism, but never could really get into the religions based around them (mostly because I never believed they existed outside of being memetic constructs.)

Age 13 - There began the bipolar, and with it, some extreme spiritual turbulance. Around this time the chaos magic (which I was studying rather intensely, though I don't remember most of it now) led to Discordianism. Rather liked the idea, made me laugh, made me think, and I read a shitty text version of the Principia a fair bit. Joined up on the forums, and made my place as a quiet newbie. About 6 months in, I mostly stopped coming (mostly because I was in a medication induced haze, followed by being made very boring by medication.)

Age 14 - Bipolar came (mostly) under control (without meds), came back to the forums, and have been keepin on keepin on since.
