who said anything about funny?
I'll have you know we were discussing the importance of a sharp blade on your bandsaw to avoid feathering when curtting accross the grain.

PS there's some text there.

See. This is the problem. From where I sit I see two people looking into a mirror, it's like this mirror that was at the local museam, it was actually a two way mirror with the border of lightbulbs (like you're supposed to get in every theatre dressing room and shit) and when you turned on the lights on one side your reflection would be the other person and vice versa and you could only see through it when the light was on both sides.

So on the one side we have St. Death to Poultry, who seems to be doing a good job of maximising his wordcount, and on the other side we have East Coast Hussle who likes to be succinct because he knows what he means. You're kinda speaking the same language, but using different terms, and the whole argument thing is based around choice of words and choices resulting from chosen words. But don't take my word for it, i'm a lousy diplomat I tend to start more arguments.

It's like the five blind people and the elephant. Discordians charge admission.

but anyway, I think if we all stopped talking we'd understand each other better.

You got it.

Turd, no way is it an attempt to silence you or any of the rest of the activists. I am just saying that some of us get a little tired of all of the "important" things that "activists" advertise we should be doing.

In one respect I don't care: That is the fact that I bothers me little if anyone ever knows what I am doing to try to make change. I don't advertise it. Nor do I actively seek out others doing the same thing. You can say that comes from apathy. But the real excuse/reason is that I see doing things for this world in the same light as doing things for myself. If my arm gets injured, I mend it or seek treatment automatically. I don't go around advertising how much I care for my arm and how much I am helping it to heal. That would be silly. In the same vein, I view doing things for this world.

Not saying I didn't used to seek out others or announce to others what I was doing. It's just that years back I learned that behavior was stupid and a one track way to burnout. I also entered a Buddhist tradition where such behavior is considered ignorant and selfish. So when I am hungry, I feed myself with little show of it. When I see someone else is hungry, I feed them with little show of it. I care nothing for seeking glory or attention. In fact that shit is counterproductive. The less others know about anything I do that may change this world, the more freedom I have to do it.

When the government/state can smash the groups or the organizations, it can't crush the spirit of formless change. That's my saccharine pithy statement of the day on it.

I believe you over-reacted to the rant.

[East Coast Hustle]

fair enough.

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

fair enough.

Besides, as an "anarchist" I can't spend much time with other anarchists anymore. They seem to have gotten it in their heads that hygeine is a tool of the man. Thus the smell of BO is repulsive. Maybe I am just too bourgeois to put up with unwashed bodies with unbrushed teeth stuffed into a room while someone makes their seventeenth thousand speech that sounds exactly like something Black would say.

[LHX]

there is too many people

I have always said to the"anarchists" down here

Being dirty is not a sign of rebellion,it is a sign of poor hygeine"

I had one ask me for spare change the other day(lots of peircings,goatee,dirty,had athe circle A anrchist symbol as a tatoo).I told him,"Get a job,you damn hippie.I can't walk down the street without someone asking if I want a job,and i'm black! Surely a white guy could get one."
