If corsets become fashionable again, fuck it, I'm in.

[1. "I'm just sick of it. Every time I come to MW there's a new issue with you and a select group of Discordians. So you worship chaos, big fuging deal. Give it a rest already."]

Hard work, getting all these, but it gives me a warm glow.  My comments in italics.

1. "I'm just sick of it. Every time I come to MW there's a new issue with you and a select group of Discordians. So you worship chaos, big fuging deal. Give it a rest already."

Try replacing Discordians with Wiccans and Chaos with Triple Goddess and let the accusations of persecution flood in. Also, hilariously, this was in reply to a post by TGGR parodying the views of select forum members, to a degree.

2. "Yeah, I have seen alot of it popping up on the boards. I also noticed that every time I see one [a Discordian], it seems to be laden with arguments and negativity. Something as simple as an introduction, turns into mayhem!! I'll pass on those threads and posts thank you, they take the enjoyment out of conversation. I have never seen as many arguments on the boards as I have since those posts have started. "

3. "We didn't set out to hurt Discordianism. We set out to rid our community of trolls. We hope our community will be a better place as a result."

90% of those "trolls" 'just happened' to be Discordians.

4. "Someone hacked into my ebay account. Loverly. Very mature. Guard your butt Ssanf, you've just painted a big old target on it."

Incidentally, none of us were behind the hacking.

5. "I think a couple of bad apples came in here, calling themselves Discordians (and I don't have any way to judge whether they really were or not) and they started baiting people and trying to cause more chaos than is strictly natural, and when the shit hit the fan they rallied some of the other Discordians around them because they were "being persecuted."

6. "Congratulations. This isn't the forum for Chaos. This is a sanctuary, not a factory."

Because Discordians...like factories? I don't get it.

7. "The most fatuous, manipulative, and venomous people to be found here are all of the discordian genre."

8. "A successful and a good discordian, is one who gets others angry, upset, and is skilled at mocking and belittling them.The better they are at it, the more they are respected by thier peers."

Partially true, but hardly the whole story (also, fixed for spelling and grammatical errors).

9. "A True Discordian does not spend all their time making sarcastic posts on internet forums. In fact, a majority of "Discordians" you see online are not really true Discordians, but nothing more than attention seekers."

Apparently reading the Principia once makes you an expert on what other people really believe too, at least going by the above poster.

10. "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that. "Oooh, I'm a Discordian! I can do whatever I want! Which means I can just SAY I'm a pagan but I never bother doing rituals or studying any kind of sacred texts or developing a relationship with deity, etc! I can go around and not be Christian, but I won't quite be anything else either because I just can't commit and I can't be ARSED to commit!"

Spoiled brats of the pagan world, I thought. I really don't have a lot of respect for Discordians. They just strike me as spiritually lazy."

Too hilarious to comment on.

11. "Just out of curiosity are any of you discordians raising or will raise your children in your beleif system?...I know silly question, of course you would, but with my experiences with Discordians and Chaos Mages lately I would be concerned for the child."

12. "mmm, it's like a troll breeding facility isn't it. Maybe there's an undergound complex like Area 51 where the genetically engineer them?"

Said in reference to EB&G forums

13. "In other words, Discordianism, like postmodernism, means never having to say your sorry."

14. "I'm starting to think discordian is just another word for annoying. It certainly doesn't seem to have any hallmarks of a consistent or coherent belief system."

15. "At least Satanists HAVE a worldview. After reading this thread, I'm convinced that discordians not only don't, but will actively mock anyone who does."

16. "Followers of Eris...I will not allow you to spread 'discord' in my forum just like I won't let Christians proselytize."

Because its practically the same thing, right?

Abobo is one of the eight woredas in the Gambela Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Administrative Zone 2, Abobo is bordered on the southwest by the Godere special woreda, on the south by Gog, on the southwest by Jor, on the west by the Administrative Zone 3, on the north by the Administrative Zone 1, and on the east by the Oromia Region; part of its northern bundary is defined by the Alwero River. The major town in Abobo is Abobo.

OMG ITS A CONSPIRACY, WE MUST HAVE AN ARMED REVOLT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT!

I have quibbles about individual survival.  Often that is the case, but when the magnitude of threat seems beyond that, as threatening the entire genetic population of a certain group, then it seems most cultures agree that sacrafice of a sample of that, for the greater good, is permissable.

Evolutionary psychology and studies on altruism probably shed more light on this.

Leo Strauss - On Tyranny

Yeah, its convinced me Obama is a douche.

Ooh, bookmarked.

Central America and Naziism is an odd topic anyway.  Very hard to find serious research on what went on down there....but yeah, if he's gonna make the assertions, I hope he has at least plausible reasons for doing so.  It'd be disappointing if Unholy Alliance turned out to be another half true, half fictional account from Levenda.

Boredom is getting to me


I can see your eyes from here
You come up to me
OK everybody, lie down on the floor and keep calm
I'd appreciate your input

Huffman don't take no nonsense,
we know everything
We passed along the stairs
Everyone seems to be singing for Satan

He who hears in the vast silence
close to my skin,
I go to Colorado to unload my head
Help me because I can't understand

Are you looking for the truth or another fight
All my lazy teenage boasts
When the routine bites hard
I like pleasure spiked with pain and

I became for you what you had asked
I cant say what I want to
All we want is a headrush
I was in heaven, I was in hell

I don't believe in unity
Everything about you is how I'd wanna be
Till I reach the highest ground
He said you're just as boring as everyone else

T-minus 15:00 minutes until the strike.  If you're planning on joining, even if you turn up late, get on IRC and we'll help.

I'll be on from 12:00 EST (5pm in the UK).  Right now I'm doing other stuff...

maphdet is cool in my book. 

I wouldn't bother with the proxy in the first strike.  It just slows you down, and what are they gonna do with it anyway?
