I wonder if the mushroom thing would work with Amanita Muscaria?

That might just be a terrible idea.

dear lord Nigel NO!!!!

What if I dried them first?

It's just that there are such an awful lot of them about, I'd like to come up with ways to use them.

I thought for a minute that you called me Lord Nigel, and I

i'm not very good at history all i know about the spanish war thingie here was that the dutch financed it by selling weapons to the spanish. smugglers at heart.
oh and being run over by the vikings does not count as fascist i think.


sneakargument: fascism wasn't invented untill 1922. neener neener

what you mean to say, surely, is that the term wasn't coined until 1922. fascism has been around since humans first set their tents in one place and put someone in charge of crop distribution.

i figured i'd solve this discussion by looking up the exact definition...
one of these days i should start remembering that dictionaries give uses of words, not definitions.

there are a lot of definitions, you are using this one:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fascism
2.  Oppressive, dictatorial control.

just to be annoying i'll state that i use this one:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:Fascism&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title
Political philosophy that became predominant in Italy and then Germany during the 1920s and 1930s; attacked weakness of democracy, corruption of capitalism; promised vigorous foreign and military programs; undertook state control of economy to reduce social friction. (p. 870)

and mine is RIGHT and TRUE ofcourse.


i like your implied  fascism is society's natural response to its own tremendous stupidity.

Fascism is just a word, the idea is as old as the hills.  I'm going with ECH on this.

[Verbal Mike]

I dunno, isn't it Totalitarianism that's as old as sin, whereas Fascism is a newer subset thereof?

[Dido]

Aren't you agreeing with each other nicely?

Wouldn't Spartans be considered fascists?

[Verbal Mike]

well the spartans had many ideas in common with fascism, but fascism embodies a name and ideology that are uniquely modern. the simple fact that the word "fascism" was coined in the 20th century makes it so. the spartans were their own tradition. modern fascists are another. the latter might look fondly on the former and imagine a connection, but I don't think there's any real connection.

If you ride a horse to the store, you end up at the store.

If you drive a Ferrari to the store, you still end up at the store.

ITT, "horse" = primitive agrarian society, "Ferrari" = modern industrial/technological society, and "Store" = your sorry ass with someone's jackboot buried in it in the name of the tribe/state/corporate profits/whatever.

dig?

Dude...this fread is about food and weed togever.

Point missed, freadrift r00nt it.

[East Coast Hustle]

we (by which I mean "me") already decided that mixing food and weed is usually a waste of both. The history of totalitarian behavior in human society is vastly more interesting than what kind of fucked up shit stoners will think of to eat.

TROOF.
