Testimonial - Well it seems that most of you "discordians" are little more than dupes of the Cathedral/NWO memetic apparatus after all -- "freethinkers" in the sense that you are willing to think slightly outside the designated boxes of correct thought, but not free in the sense that you reject the existence of the boxes and seek their destruction.

Dear England, why is your country so pretty?

I need to go to Portland sometime

Oh shit yes! Summers here are glorious. The other ten months look like this:

Are you technically closer to Mt. Hood or Mt. St. Helen's?

I know neither of them are actually "close" but they're so huge both are visible.


I go outside and see this.

(That's a job fair at the Foxy Lady, another historic landmark strip club. Yes, I said job fair.)


Mt Hood is about an hour, Mt St Helen about an hour and a half, and Mt Adams is about two hours. FWIW I think those pics of Providence are very pretty!

Yeah, pretty much! Cold. Rainy. Everybody stays home.

For the record, I find Suu's pics just as pretty as Nigel's.

YOU'RE IN CANADA. YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.

I doubt what I typed counts as any sort of argument.  I do happen to find prettiness pretty much everywhere though... hell, I even liked the New Jersey Turnpike.

Old Flame took me here on a date


And this is where I love to go to for my birthday everywhere






I do love England though.  I'd much rather live there.  Though having a flat there, and a townhouse here wouldn't be so bad either!   :wink: (not that I can afford that)

I LOVE Northern California! It's so beautiful.

This is where I'm going this weekend (two hours from home):

Though right now I think it's like 20 outside without a cloud in the sky...which isn't much better.

America isn't ugly.  It's got immeasurable beauty everywhere...

England is drop-dead gorgeous in spots as well, of course, their countryside is just to die for.  But...the US is not ugly.  It just has its armpits, like any other place, is all.

Seriously. I had to look up existing examples of motte and bailey for my final and I'm like, "Goddamn, America is ugly. Even when we try to be pretty, we're ugly."

Although seeing the stonework on a lot of the medieval castles always makes me think of the Newport Tower.



.....JESUS. EVEN CORNWALL AND WALES ARE PRETTY.

If you didn't live in the butt-ass-ugly half of America, you'd feel differently.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but there are parts of Florida that are STUNNING. But I can guarantee there will be no paved roads, air conditioning, dredged blue waters, or resorts where they are.

The Chalk Downs are so cool...it really disappointed me when I found out a lot of the white horses were done in the 17-18th century.

This is the best of them, and is about 3500 years old.


The other one I posted was made in the 1700s, but it marks the site of a much earlier white Horse, originally carved by a triumphant Saxon Army, to commemmorate  the victory of Alfred the Great over the Danes, in the battle of Ethanduan. (Which was the birth of England as a Country)

I love how the neopagans seemed to go absolutely apeshit when archaeologists proved that they were cut in the 16-17th century.
