For my part, I've replaced optimism and believing the best of people by default with a grin and the absolute 100% certainty that if they cannot find a pig to fuck, they will buy some bacon and play oinking noises on YouTube.

Colonel Failure

Quote from: Rev. THWACKColonel - Ok, yea.... let me get this sorted out..... you seem to be trying to spread this "let's all get along and be lovey dovey." Hmm.... creative chaos vs. destructive chaos... funny thing is, both of them seem to have chaos in the name... and this tree-hugging hippie love one another bullshit has absofuckinglutely nothing to do with chaos..... how can you support either side (or even both sides) without realizing that chaos is the name of the fucking game here. We shouldn't all get along... that kind of bullshit leads to the same damn stagnation and order that's found in the rest of the world's religions... leave it to them.

QuoteP.S. - If I mis-interpeted your stance, then I didn't mean to. If I offended you, then good... maby you needed it.

Quotehopefully the way it was intended... me expressing my disbelief at the behavior of some people over this one incident. seems like a few people acted completly contrary to everything I ever knew about them.

Hmmm... nope, missed my point completely. I thought I was being derisive enough towards that touchy-feely crap, but perhaps I wasn't laying it on thick enough. My point was pretty close to yours actually - If you wanna talk about a difference of opinion, great, but there's no reason to make a rumble out of it, and why are you all taking this so personally?  I do think there is a difference between having an argument (creative), and having a fight (destructive), even in a purely written context, and was just trying to throw that 'civility' meme out there - not the 'hippy' meme, as you seemed to think. I don't want everybody to agree, just thought we should respect one another. And I wasn't taking anybody's side, just saw a nifty bruhaha and decided to jump in on *my* side and throw my 2 cents in - I don't speak for other people. You wouldn't begrudge me that, wouldja?

And Hey, I don't have to explain myself to you anyway, do I?

Slot Off... you hoser.

-CF
All I knew, all I believed
Are crumbling images
No longer comforting me.
Scramble to reach higher ground,
Order and sanity,
Something to comfort me.

I take what is mine, and hold what is mine,
Suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
Soon the water will come
And claim what is mine.
I must leave it behind,
And climb to a new place now.

This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.

Do you believe
In the lies, the lies, the lies that shape your world?
Do you believe
In your own, your own, fictitious immortality?

The world won't end while you walk the earth
And when you realize that your life don't matter
You'll turn to something to help you forget
That you're only young once, old forever

And we become what we hate
(Don't think of us)

Quote from: Rev ThwackYou know... I just read this whole damn thing, and I don't think I have seen anything here before that has made me this upset or depressed.

I'm not upset by the fact that Rev. Roger called the PD a piece of trash - although I do think there are some rather good uses for it like ransom notes and liner for a bird cage.

I'm not upset byTao attacking the "false discordians" - after all, it's not like I care what he thinks of me or my beliefs.

I am upset that people got so worked up about this - come on.... since when did this group loose it's ability to roll and laugh at any puch thrown at it?


Anyone who's spent time reading and/or trying to make sense of my posts knows that I'm not one to sit around and tell people how to be discordian, nor am I one to go around talking about my beliefs or trying to get others to accept them.

With that being said, I will admit that there is one thing every person should do.... think for your own fucking self!

I don't give a shit if you are a principia beating "true" discordian, a bad discordian renegade, or a fucking eight foot blue french poodle.... just use that fucking sack of chemical reactions you have locked up in that damn skull of yours and make your own opinions and ideas, no matter how retarded they may be.


[Begin Targeted Attacks]

Tao Jones - What the fuck is wrong with you man? Here you are, acting like the "one true defender" to a religion from a book that tells you not to believe what you read... hell, even the fucking book tells you to think for yourself... and you fucking admitted it. So fuck what if Roger doesn't agree with you.... your own book tells you that you don't have to agree with others... and the whole pile of shit comment you made about people leaving, this forum being for the PD version of discordianism, and you wanting to use this place as a sort of meeting ground for "true" discordians.... hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that book of yours say that discordians must stick apart? Isn't it supposed to be a disorganized religion? You know, at times I considered you amusing, but I usualy just thought of you as a televangelist who got lost.

Rev. Roger - Let's see.... Discord doesn't mean wanton destruction... don't know what dictionary you are using, but the damn thing is broken, time to get another. The PD (while it may be gibberish) doesn't tell people to act like a bunch of burnt-out acid heads.... the damn thing does an amazing job at conflicting with itself, but does keep a pretty constant stance on using higher mental facilites. I know you started this thread with some motive in mind... don't think you do anything around here without some deeper motive, and while I do respect that, you need to keep in mind the effect that you are going to have. You know that there are a few people around here that have fallen into the PD completly, and some of them tend to get way too sensative to people attacking their beliefs... not that I mind you attacking their beliefs, but why in the fuck are you trying to piss them off... you know that it will start bullshit like this and that I am going to come back in here and read this shit, and get completly fed up with a whole bunch of shit.... is this payback for not posting more pancake stories, because if it is....

Demonica, Bella, Efrim- What the fuck is this "I want to be a bad discordian, like all the other bad discordians who subscribe to Rev. Rogers philosophy and believe in the destruction of all order" order bullshit? I like you and respect you all as people, but seriously, are you even thinking? It's like you are back in high-school trying to be part of the cool goth/jock/prep/hippie/whatever crowd again. Your posts in here say that you think and believe the same way Roger does, but I can't fucking believe that you have the exact same philosophies and beliefs...

Guido - Well, at least you know what you are, but just because you know that you are trying to fit into the crowd doesn't make it right.

Colonel - Ok, yea.... let me get this sorted out..... you seem to be trying to spread this "let's all get along and be lovey dovey." Hmm.... creative chaos vs. destructive chaos... funny thing is, both of them seem to have chaos in the name... and this tree-hugging hippie love one another bullshit has absofuckinglutely nothing to do with chaos..... how can you support either side (or even both sides) without realizing that chaos is the name of the fucking game here.

[End Targeted Attacks]


I didn't come to this forum because I am a PD beating discordian fundie, and I didn't come here to troll it and destroy the system of the system destroyers... hell, I didn't even come here due to calling myself a discordian... I came here becuase I expected to find people with free minds who are not afraid to think for themselvs instead of looking for a fucking leader that they can rally behind and follow in some sort of sheep mentality. It's the same damn mindset that the fucking christians get into... blindly believing and accepting beliefs because they are told to by their spiritual leader. I know and admit that base human instinct is to look for someone to lead you so that you don't have to make the hard choices yourself and so that you have something else to pin the blame/responsability on, but I was not thinking that I would ever run into that here. This isn't supposed to be that place.. this is supposed to be where people say "rules, fuck em"... where people don't care what others think of their ideology, and don't care about others.... the place where the only reason people can even wear the same title is because it's a title for those with wide and varied beliefs that don't fit into the scheme belonging to any other title. Do I worry about being called a discordian? Fuck no... Hell, I'd be just as happy calling myself a no-dick fuckwad as I am calling myself a discordian.

Please people, stop acting like it's such a big step to have beliefs and values that belong to you and are not those handed down to you by a larger group.

P.S. - If I mis-interpeted your stance, then I didn't mean to. If I offended you, then good... maby you needed it.

Quote from: efrimwell it looks like battle lines are being drawn. Our precious forum will be chared earth within weeks. I'll just say this. I don't agree with everything Rog says, but I know he's a decent person. I know Bella and gnibley and hugh and so many others are good too because they've treated me with kindness and respect since I landed here. Tao talks a mighty good philosophy, but that does little to change the fact that he's an asshole. just call me a rouge discordian.

There. I wrote that just before the whole mess started. I don't agree with everything Rev. Rog or anybody else here says, but I certainly agree with Rog a hell of a lot more then I agree with a prick like Tao. I don't think any of us were taking the whole "Rouge discordians" thing seriously, it was just something fun to do. Obviously throwing imaginary moltovs does not reflect any of my philosophical or spirtual beliefs. Alright, take care Thwack. You can think whatever you want to, but I did want to defend myself against claims of utter conformity.

No kidding. Surprise! is what happens when you assume you "know" someone or put them on a pedestal they don't want to be on in the first place.

I've been friends with Bella and her sister forever and would never presume to presume I know what to expect from them. And I would also never take it for granted that they were being completely serious. Bella's sense of humor is very dry and often misunderstood.  I was here with her that night and I'm telling you that it was as much a joke as it was serious.

And I'm sorry if you're mad at me for writing this after you asked me not to defend you Bel, but I had to.

Because it's my nature.  Ask the sun why it rises.

I think you're reading too much into this.  All we wanted was a little Jihaad.  Is that so wrong?

i agree with amny of the things the good reverend says, but, then i coldn;t really be pressed to say he's a decent person either. indeed, i'm of a mind to reckon he's downright degenerate.
