TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I really don't care how hard you try to make life for me here. I came here to help you with raids, not argue about music. But as in every forum I join, it became something big as usual.


"as usual"  is a sign the problem is with you and you bring it everywhere you go.... not that every body else in the world has a taste in music that is inferior to yours..

Most likely you're right, but I can't help the way I think. And I feel the urge to post against modern music. Beleieve me, I try not to. But it seems I always do.

IN B4 ASSBURGERS

Wait, I'm curious.

Do you think Asperger's compels people to do stupid shit, or is that an excuse often used to cover for stupid shit?

If it's the former, personal experience says you're wrong. If it's the latter... fucking humans.

So at this point I've probably pigeonholed myself into the Unfunny Punning Killjoy.  Right?  

Not by me.

I think you give a fuck, and I like that.

That "we" is The People behind "them". The People who made a few trillion artificial suns so we'd never have to see the real thing, and The People who made telepathy machines so we'd never have to meet each other, just have to put those banana-shaped sensors next to our heads. It made things easier for everyone, and it made it easier to fall into the trap of "them". Then Those People made the pundits, the talking heads, the ghost-men with their verbal snake oil. And it's all a trap, you know, because all of it leads right into the cogs you are, no doubt, all too aware of. Those cogs with teeth like mountains and a slow, unhesitating pace. It's important to Those People that things keep going into the cogs, because it keeps them running smoothly. And Those People know that if Cog #594390 ever clicked so much as a nanosecond out of line with Sprocket #57823, it would mean certain d00m.

Fuck yes, Kai.  But they won't listen.  They can't.  They've been conditioned, so have we, but something went wrong with us, and it didn't take.  I mean, it's not economical to hunt down every deviant and hammer them into holes, right?  Besides, we make great headlines, occasionally.

Anyway, they CAN'T listen, and they hate you for the fact that you can.  But they're afraid of you, too...never forget that.  They FEAR you because you aren't doing what you're supposed to be doing, and that upsets them on a level that they can't properly analyze.  They were conditioned to ignore the giant elephant in the living room, but they just aren't prepared for the screaming fucking ape in the kitchen.

We are that ape, Kai, and they fear us.  Perhaps it's time to remind them WHY they do.

It doesn't matter that they don't listen, Roger. If they want to waste the precious life they have I can't do anything about that. But they should fear me, oh yes, because I do, my thoughts, my words and actions, they threaten the human world views. They are little and I am BIG. They could be big too if they wanted, but they are so afraid, so very afraid of loosing it and getting IT, because IT is different, and the world views can't abide different.

Yes, it's too much trouble to be a biped, what with the bills and the traffic and who's minding the fort and what about Little Billy, who's gonna take care of Little Billy while we're out learning how to walk on our hind legs?  Think of the Children™, Kai.  This irresponsible "freedom" you claim to enjoy is only going to set the little darlings up for disappointment when they fail.  That's why we don't bother with achievement anymore, we just tell them that they're special and that self-esteem is given, not earned.  We're all unique in the very same way.

Who are we?

I couldn't tell you who "we" are -- but I can tell you that if I'm a part of any "we," that "we" is not part of them. "Them" is the little bastards eating TV dinners and TV philosophy and TV politics in little trays, free refills included -- sometimes. LED indicators lighting up a cheery green every time they tune in to the latest ghost-man on the television screen, offering spectres of a reality sort of like what everyone lives in but with a few subtle differences. And these people are in a way, miraculous -- they can make that reality into their reality. A rose-tinted transparency on the overhead projector of Everything.

I'm not one of them, Roger. If there is a "we", if there can be a "we", that "we" is not with them.

That might be what America's all about, but I never much liked America. It always reminded me of those loud car sales commercials, with the president being the guy in the snazzy suit yelling catchphrases into your ears.

Kids are going to smoke weed no matter what.  Hell, it's part of the American experience.  The current arrangement only means that it will destroy their lives entirely if they're caught.  Not sure I see the sense in that.

EXACTLY! 
Ditto.

I respect RWHN. I'm not saying people who have problems are "acceptable casualties." I'm saying the problem is overstated and illegal weed hurts more than it helps.

Show me the proof. 

QuoteFor example, I self-medicate with pot. It gets rid of many problems I have almost completely -- and it's not just the high. That wears off in an hour or two, the stabilizing effects last me a good 3 days. Oh, I've tried doctor prescribed drugs, believe me, they don't do shit for me -- in fact, all of them so far just make it worse. And to go without? Kai can tell you what I get like when under stress without any medication, illegal or otherwise. It's not pretty.

To be fair, when I started pot, all my life's problems sort of worked together to push me into a hole where I was drug-dealing to eat and in a truly bad mental state. But here's the important thing -- normally, I would have left that go. I'm a passive person, when shit goes wrong I'm more likely to bear it than try to change it. In this case I fought my way up, and I'm now literally on the doorstep of fulfilling a lifelong dream with game development (thanks to all the PD people helping me do this!). I have actual friends in real life, something I have literally never had before. And consider that if I got busted now, I'd be in jail. I'm literally caught in a decision between living the cliche of basement-dwelling social outcast in a shitty victim "There's nothing I can do" mindset or risking every day going to jail.

Am I an acceptable casualty, LMNO?

So you should be advocating for the ability to have medical marijuana in your state.  That is decidedly different than legalization.  I'm not 100% on board with the medical marijuana thing, but I'm much more open to that than I am legalizing it for everyone.  Or move to Maine where we just had a vote to expand the ability to use medical marijuana. 

Luckily, it looks like medical marijuana is going to be legalized here -- but not for psychiatric reasons, which is why I use it. I highly doubt it'll ever be legal for psychiatric reasons unless it's completely legalized, considering what I read about the medical marijuana laws and etc.
