[Actaully, to clarify, I still *feel* that I am an idiot, but I'm pretty aware of this now, and want to learn to be a better asshatter.
I've got a lot to learn... and I'm learning alot fast by watching other idiots post like me.
So maybe this is some warped bessing in disguise.

Naw.  There's a difference between "idiot" and "inexperience".  

Inexperience (in this case) comes from being the weirdest guy in the room, who is suddenly placed into a room with a hundred people just as weird.

An idiot is the guy who thinks that the same tired jokes will continue to work.

Just about everyone who comes here starts out as an idiot, progresses to inexperience, and then becomes a full-out asshat.

Of course, there's a huge fucking downside.

I think there should be some sort of special programme for rehabilitation of self-taught proto-Discordians.

There is.  This is my month to administer it.  Next month Cain can do it.  Lazy bastard.

you think all discordians should behave like you?  Ok if i was trying to be funny rather than trying to push a button I can see criticizing my old tired jokes that have been heard 10,005 times.  But it wasn't a joke.

Yeah, your ability to clarify astounds me Rog.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

1.   Where did I say that?  What I SAID was that - even here - there are protocols that we found we need...and, lemme tell you, the two years it took to establish that cost us about 40% of our user base, due to drama.  Push things back towards the bad days of 2004/2005, and you'll find that you'll be ignored out of existence by EVERYONE.  Now, obviously, you're going to take that warning as a threat, because you've been conditioned to take ALL warnings as challenges to your gonads, even when this is pointed out.  You can't help it.

2.  So far, the buttons pushed are:  bored, I've seen this a million times, and bored again.  Congratulations.  You must be some kind of memetic genius.  Yawn.

I'm going to quit warning you now, and just stand back and watch the lulz fly when you get the smackdown on you...

Well, he passed 50 posts.  The jackals will be all over him tomorrow.

I tried to do it the easy way, but he wasn't having it.

Well, good night.

Nobody can say I didn't try.  If things are still fucked tomorrow, I guess we can start the festivities.

Just to remind everyone, this started because Roger said he didn't like the PD.  I'd hate to go bump the relevant threads but it was established by at least 2004 that liking the book is not required.

Y'see, because we've been operating under a special version of the Sinatra Doctrine since the Jihad and gone our own Ways.  Hell, we've written our own books, or enough to fill up a few books.  Its not just the PD anymore.  You have the Book of Eris, the Apocrypha, the Summa, the Zenarchists Cookbook, the Metaclysmia, Wise Book of Baloney....ands thats without going into the different ways we've all researched and thought about and argued and debated.  From Roger's radical liberty to Hugh and Verthaine's NeoPagan/Buddhist toned versions to LMNO's Erisianism (in the Illuminatus! sense) to the weird construct I have created out of Existentialism, Situationism and Systems Analysis....the PD just serves as a starting point.  And given how much those books and ideas have advanced, perhaps only a very basic one.  Not that thats bad.....the fall of a pebble is pretty basic and can still start a landslide.  But it has to be seen in the correct context.

Plus, it was 40+ years ago.  Geez, I mean, come on, chaos = change.  Obsessing and fetishizing a book that old smacks of conservativism and.....well, most other religions frankly.

TGRR, I think what you may be referencing is sort of a "Big Fish/Little Pond" type thing.

In one's hometown, they'r eprobably the "Odd" one, the person who is the weirdest, who has strange ideas, the "freak".

Then they come here, start laying down their schtick, and suddenly realize that the place is filled with people who have already been there, done that, and have moved on.  They feel threatened because they aren't precious snowflakes anymore.


By the way, "Hopping up and down and hooting" is genius.

:potd:

I come from a city of about 30,000 people with another 10 or so in the surrounding towns. Basically it's big enough to have a ghetto, yet small enough that we have no museums or entertainment beyond shitty bars. The type of "freaks" or "weird one's" this place produces is sickening. I wish they'd all take a field trip to a bigger city and see what diversity is.

Naturally the worst is the "we hate Bush and the war, but beyond that we don't know shit so we get doped up and vandalize private residences because it's edgy and so anti-establishment." I hate our local punk/skater contingent. ( this part was kinda off topic, but I really hate them.)

Yep.  I'm just trying to minimize the "goddess told me" crap, and maximize the lulz.

Besides, this guy made an unauthorized Wu Tang joke.
