BADGE OF HONOR

I actually think it's a symptom of a greater malaise.  Look at all the people who are willing to throw away their dignity in some spurious lawsuit just so they can get their hands on some cash.  Its easy to construe difference as inequality.  Fear of difference, fear of being different, are larger parts of society than most people realise, and yet mixed with the desire to be different, but only if there's a group to hide in.  Discordians are like that.  They want to be different so they group together in "believing" in a fake religion.  It's good that we can't claim to be persecuted victims, or we'd be just like Wiccans.
It's no wonder the fascists are everywhere.  Everyone wants to play the victim, and having a bunch of idiots who clearly don't have anyone's interest in mind but their own somehow makes us more morally right on some perverted masochistic level.  We have been wronged, which means we are right.  Playing the victim validates each human's existence as a morally right and just individual.  So what if it screws up our society's ability to function with itself, so long as I'm right!

There is absolutely nothing new about that.

Ah fine, but political correctness means that we can't tell injured parties to shut the fuck up any more.

Says who?

I tell people to shut the fuck up, every day.

Of course, I'm always armed.

Yeah, but you're only one person.  "We" = collective idiocy.

Not if you opt out.

Quote from: Irreverend Hugh, KSC(Buddy, if you got to write a statement to explain the piece, you failed.)

Bingo.

I think I lost my passion for art careers the first time I went to a big open gallery night, and I walked into this gallery where all these 1x1 canvases had been set up on the walls. Each was painted in a slightly different shade of brown, or blended shades of brown, built up so it was all chunky and shit. And there was a little explanation next to each piece. I laughed my ass off. 'So this piece means...self-ablation, you say? Because it looks like a piece of burnt toast to me. Why the hell would I pay 500 dollars for a piece of someone else's burnt toast?'

:lol:

No shit!

I once "left" an art opening where there were pieces like that. It "mysteriously" caught fire and many of the pieces got burned up.

Sorry ossifers. It was on fire when I got there.
