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.

This has been one of my favorite books ever since I first read it in 8th grade, and since the movie adaptation is coming out sometime next year, I thought I would mention it...

I think it counts as Discordian fiction in a way because it deals with the importance of disorder and creative chaos in a world of almost absolute order, but also emphasizes the advantages of order and therefore promotes the Discordian idea that true happiness grows from the cultivation of both. What do you think?

the giver is a classic example of the bound binding people.

you were born bound, ever since you had your sexual organs. cut them off and become unbound!

Perhaps Mr. Wrench is simply speaking out on his own (natural) shortcomings?

Just a thought...

Coincidentally, part of the PM I just sent you was that very quote.

"You need to find yourself a girl, mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet.... you're not a eunuch, are you?"

What a great movie 8)

It's a conspiracy!!!!

oddly enough, you can't spell conspiracy, without the word Piracy. you also can't spell slaughter without laughter.
