The best thing about Anime is that it keeps goons in their basements and not out in the sunlight where I have to see them.

I think I will. it is hilarious.

So... I wrote this song for my band (download/listen for full effect). I'm at a loss for lyrics, though (I suck at that part). I decided to take suggestions. My drummer said he'd come up with something, so I'm like "Yeah, sure dude whatever. Make it a love song or something like that."

Background on my drummer: he's a Vietnam veteran; he's had his shoulder replaced, and he spent the last 18 months battling some kind of hepatitis. He's also a biker, and he has no qualms about discussing his bowel functions.

Anyway, today he presents me with the lyrics. And, I quote:

Woman with a 4' clit

There's a mist hanging over the ocean
There's a mist hanging under a tree
There's a gal that I know in the valley
With a clit hanging down to her knee



Chorus- Pour me an ocean of whiskey
              I'll swim there lord till I drowned
              Just show me a chick with a 4 ft clit
              And I'll follow her trail on the ground


She broke the high jumpin record
I've never seen one jump any higher
It happened when we was out camping
And she stood too close to the fire

Chorus


Well she's dead but not forgotten
The pain it cuts like a sword
It happened when we went sky diving
And she reached up and pulled the wrong cord

Chorus twice

Hey CB... Honestly... I think you're cool. And you contribute a lot to a lot of discussions. But... right now it's a little



in this thread.

I think you're neat.

Well, I imagine she always wanted to have a stellar career. 

If this goes through, she could become quite the starlet.

Wow. Now there's a career that's out of this world.

You people should work in local TV news.

You bastards are voting for me to stay, you must understand that I will not change.

I haven't actually seen an example of you being an asshole yet. Maybe I'm just not paying attention?

Maybe you are capable of leaving forever, but I don't think you should.  Not being liked by a couple people is a bad reason to go, because flaming arguments where unforgivable things are said are par for anyone who stays here longer than a year, and generally things smooth out over time.   Every time I've given or received a serious insult, it's been forgiven over time.  I'm sure there are people who don't like me either, and I am okay with that.  Good enemies are hard to find, yanno?

TITCM. No matter where you go, Hawk, you're going to find people you hate and people who hate you. But most people have a really, really pathetic caliber of hate. At PD, our hate is Top Notch Grade A Hate. Plus, most of us aren't close enough to key your car.

I'm fairly certain that if being an asshole is grounds for leaving forever, I'd have been gone a long time ago.

To be honest, I tried to leave, but I couldn't. PD is like meth, except it puts holes in your perspective instead of your teeth. Anyway, you can't leave, because you can't leave.

Last time I left was for 6 months. Next time will be forever.

We have ways of making you stalk.

I've always viewed PD as a shapeless, noxious, slithering blob of meat that either rejects you wholly or absorbs you beyond any hope of escape on it's slow path of terror.

I think that's a fair description.

America kills children in the pursuit of its Causes [ yes I realise its not just America that has dirty hands but that was the country which came up in the thread ] so where is the lie?
Except for the John Brown kills children thing?

America, as a rule, does not kill children; children get killed in the course of many military operations. The difference is subtle, but real. I realize that as a hot-shot know-it-all with more brains in your pinky than the entire succession of American Presidents combined, you have detected what you believe to be a flaw in the ideological armor of the USA; but your approach to exposing that flaw is all wrong.

In the first place, war sucks. This is a foregone conclusion for most sane people, and it is the reason war is, for all but the most maniacal governments, a last resort. War sucks because people die and shit gets destroyed. The definition of war is violence and death and destruction. To go on about how war sucks for children is to squawk about the obvious: war sucks, period, and no, children are not an exception to this rule. Everybody already knows that.

In the second place, it is a ridiculous proposition to assign blame to America for the nature of war. War has been a shitty deal for a much longer time than America has been around; no degree of ideological progression is going to change the basic nature of war. War is going to be terrible regardless of who engages in it or their motives or how justified they are in warring; it is just a fact of war: it sucks. Have I said that enough yet?

Now, one might try to focus on the fact that in the past 100 years, largely because of the expansion of how terrible war can be, many international agreements governing war have been put in place which have had an actual effect on the number of civilian casualties, including children. War, being what it is, can never follow these regulations cleanly; but it is in large part much more "civil" now than it was 200 years ago. Some of this is also attributable to America.

Of course, war is war, and murder is murder; they are two different things. They may share similar consequences and similar methods; but they are in fact not the same thing. That is why we have (at least) two different words for them. The fact that people die in war is completely irrelevant to the fact that John Brown murdered children. Furthermore, it's a wild tangent from the real direction of the original discussion, which was inevitably headed to the conclusion that you are a schmuck.

Boy, you sure avoided that.

For the record, I didn't mean the masks people wear in different situations or the selves we project that depend on the situation or the people we're around. I was only referring to the little "white lies" people are always telling each other, "I was doing X" when they were really doing Y, for whatever reason, or "I think you're super!" when they're really talking shit about you to everybody else (people who do this tend to do it to everybody though). The whole clusterfuck you create when you have to lie more to maintain the false realities you've invented with lies, and the precarious place you put yourself in when the slightest slip of the tongue could collapse your little house of lies.

It isn't a moral judgement I'm making here, it's just that it seems to me that it's such a waste of energy and time. I see a lot of people worrying about what might happen if somebody finds out they're lying, or what to say to cover something up, even when they're covering up innocuous things because telling the truth in one area might lead to the truth being discovered in another area. People get trapped and lost inside their worlds, keeping track of so much meaningless information that they have no ability to think about anything important.

And to address the "absolute truth" bit, some things are absolutely true - events, actions, actual things that happened. These are indisputable, even if we don't know anymore how or why they happened, it doesn't have an effect on whether they actually did or did not happen. The Holocaust, for example, was a literal event that absolutely happened, for sure, 100%, no matter how future generations might interpret or dismiss it. Ideas aren't 100% true, because they are only approximate representations of reality. Reality itself is true regardless of how flawed or misinformed or ignorant our approximations of it might be.

disagree.


all cunts are beautiful.

Actually, on further reflection, it would weaken the power of an individual Congressperson. Might make things pretty funny.  Corporations would have to shell out even more money to keep politicians in their pockets.

Congress would be such an enormous clusterfuck that it would be impossible to do anything except whatever your constituents told you to fucking do.

Representation is fucked up in this country. A total of about 500 schmucks speaking for 300 million. A more reasonable approach to the same system we have now would have representatives numbering somewhere closer to 30,000. That, of course, would turn the Tea Party "Small Government" types into suicide bombers. Maybe they could rename their movement "The Constikazi Party."
