Rock and Roll hall of Fame nominees for 2014:

Nirvana is obvious no-brainer.  They should just skip all of the nonsense and induct them now.

You think Nirvana is more worthy than Cat Stevens, Deep Purple, and KISS.

Meters, Replacements, Zombies, Chic.

In that order.

Do you honestly believe that Nirvana should not be a first ballot inductee? 


Even if you don't like them, their impact on music is undeniable.  That would be like passing on the Beatles or the Rolling Stones the first time they were up.

Honestly, even though I don't like them much, KISS had a larger impact on the music industry, in terms of concept albums, image, marketing, and cross-promotion.

Nirvana had a larger cultural impact.  They galvanized youth culture in a way that Gene Simmons could only dream about.

KISS was crap, IMO.

But so was some strung out punk that whimpered a few albums and then became An Hero because life is so rough on a rock star. 

Rock n roll is about not taking any shit.  It's not about eating a fucking shotgun because the world is so dark that you can't risk angels seeing into your heart.  Because they'd die.

3rd rate shitbag kills self.  Story over.  No need to put him in the hall of fame for ANYTHING.  Except maybe ceiling painting.

A needle exchange program and a suicide prevention hotline and a new hybrid of marijuana. For medicinal purposes. To fight depression.

Radiohead, you say? 

Why, yes, considering how they formed 2 years before Nirvana did, and their music made it big at about the exact same time on two different sides of the Atlantic within a few months or so of each other, that has to be the case.

Post by: Demolition Squid on October 16, 2013, 06:38:47 PM
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is such a load of bullshit I don't even know where to start. Oh wait, I do.
Lets start with Shin Jung-Hyeon. Korea's Grandfather of Rock.
(http://www.psychemusic.org/files/shin_jung_hyun_web.jpg)

This man was a badass. His mother died young, his father died when he was 14 and his stepmother 15. In response, he moved to Seoul, worked at a pharmacy and attended night school to educate himself, all the while teaching himself to play guitar. He got so good, he gave music lessons, and at 19, was playing at US Army bases across Korea.

He was instrumental in founding the Korean rock scene at a time when modern Korean music was struggling to find a unique identity. His psychedelic style became so popular amongst the American soldiers that he was able to support himself on their money despite the language barrier, and continued to fight for acceptance within the broader culture of his own society.
Not only was he fighting musically, he was his own representative. Unable to find someone to manage his band 'Add 4' (the first rock band in Korea), he became a manager and producer himself. He finally achieved mainstream success as a writer providing songs and backing guitar for many of the groups which would dominate the emerging musical landscape of Korea from 1968 to 1975.

Why did he stop in 1975, you ask? Well, because he stuck two fingers up to the President and refused to become a puppet of the political regime. When asked to write a song in praise of the South Korean president, he instead wrote about the beauty of Korea as a nation. This resulted in police harassment, the banning of many of his songs as 'vulgar' and 'noisy', and finally his arrest in 1975 for (gasp) marijuana usage, where he suffered torture and eventual confinement within a mental institution.

Eventually released, he was still banned from public performance until the death of Park Chung Hee. Although musical tastes had changed such that he ran completely counter to them ( 'Let's work hard,' and 'Let's be happy' kind of stuff. It was completely physical, with no spirit, no mentality, no humanity. That trend has carried over all the way to today..." ), he still continued to produce albums right up to 2006, when he announced his retirement. But he's been unable to resist remaining there, emerging for several public performances and releasing his first American album (Beautiful Rivers And Mountains: The Psychedelic Rock Sound of South Korea's Shin Joong Hyun) in 2011.

His career has spanned 59 years during which he has overseen the birth of the genre in his home nation. This is what it looks like to have an impact on a musical scene. When people speak about Rock in Korea, they speak about the man who went to prison to make the record. They talk about the man who spat in the eye of authority and refused to let his principles be dictated for him. It is impossible to talk about Korean rock music (a category which, just according to Wikipedia, contains 45 bands and 7 individual artists) without talking about the man who started it all and still, to this day, remains an active part of the music scene.
This is the sort of person whose musical impact REALLY can't be denied. It just so happens that the place he had his impact was not the United States of America (although, amusingly, it still wouldn't have been possible without the USA and its army bases, and all those soldiers who loved him so much in the early days). This is the sort of person that should be remembered forever, held up as an icon and example throughout the world, and really embodies what rock music is all about.

But its going to be Nirvana, because fuck you, the music industry will make more cash off a commemorative Nirvana album to celebrate the occasion than they ever would trying to bridge the cultural gap between Korean Rock and US Rock.

(For the interested, this is the song he wrote instead of the one demanded by the Junta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKS4wgCw-K4 and this is another I found whilst throwing this together on a whim that I particularly like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYTD5mFc2zU. All of the above was the result of about 20 minutes with google and the search phrase 'History of Korean Rock', as I suspected that there would be a story there far more interesting than fucking Nirvana, and wouldn't you know it, I was right. Until I typed that in, I had no idea who Shin Jung-Hyeon was, and I'm absolutely certain there's plenty more stories of similarly great artists throughout the world who will always be ignored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because we all know only English-speaking artists really count.)

They've poisoned the well by even considering such small talents as compared to those who really deserve the title of Legend. It'd practically be an insult, at this stage.

The Smashing Pumpkins were languishing as a weird alt-metal band, relegated to Headbanger's Ball and 120 Minutes until Nirvana came along.

Another crime to lay at Nirvana's feet.

And where have the Smashing Pumpkins been, recently?  Playing county fairs, perhaps?

They stopped being a thing YEARS ago, then Billy Corgin did his own thing for a while, and then he remade The Smashing Pumpkins, but without anyone else from the original bad aside from him and well, I like the orginal group to an extent, but what ever thing it was he created sucked balls. They haven't done anything since the turn of the millennium.

The worst part is, Nirvana WILL get in, and there WILL be a commemorative re-release, which means I may even have to hear Kurt's whimpering on the radio, for the amount of time it takes to thumb the stereo controls on the steering wheel.

For maybe a week.

On the other hand, do you think a badass like Shin Jung-Hyeon belongs in some dusty mausoleum in Ohio, next to some whimpering An Hero like Kurt Cobain?

I don't.

Good point.

Yeah, I'm thinking that if Cobain gets in, they should take Kirsty MacColl out, out of respect for MacColl.

Exactly. Its a painfully shallow cash-grab, same as the engineered 'battle for number 1' we now get every fucking year at Christmas over here. This is invariably between the manufactured group of the moment from the Talent Search reality TV show with the best ratings, and a classic 'edgy' track we are told we should all buy in 'protest', which coincidentally happens to be owned by the same label.

Its not about the music, its about the money.

Even if you don't like them, their impact on music is undeniable.  That would be like passing on the Beatles or the Rolling Stones the first time they were up.

Nirvana gave us crud like Silverchair and Nickelback.  Indeed their impact on music was undeniable.

The Offspring are awful.

Why?


No, because their music is awful.  One of their biggest hits was a Nirvana rip-off.

You do realize that Nirvana is really just a Pixies rip off, right?  Right?


Teen Spirit was, yes.  But it was a good rip-off at least.

But by your STATED STANDARD, that means that Nirvana sucks.

O.o So you were complaining that someone else ripped off Teen Spirit, up-thread, which is Heinous Crime. But someone points out Teen Spirit ripped off Pixies and that's cool? Right-o.

But basically what you are admitting is that, if anything, the Pixies are responsible for the groundbreaking music, and influencing the last 25 years.  Not Nirvana.

What I want to know is what is the CRITERIA for getting into the hall of fame?

A bunch of us have been trying to get Doug Sahm in forever, and their excuse is that "He blended genres of music, but he didn't INVENT any."

So does that mean KISS did? Fucking arena rock predates those guys.

Or Nirvana? Garage rock blended with whiney lyrics isn't blending, it's "innovating"?

Isn't rock & roll ITSELF a blend?

Yeah, the idea that Nirvana was some sort of sea change in the music scene is completely laughable. Especially given that nobody's talking about the other bands that were their contemporaries and without whom nobody would ever have heard of Nirvana. By RWHN's criteria, Green River and Skin Yard deserve all of the credit he's giving to Nirvana. Not to mention Mother Love Bone, Mudhoney, etc.

The only significant difference, as far as I can tell, is that none of those other bands got an album produced by Butch Vig. Who also produced several of the bands that RWHN is giving Nirvana credit for exposing and/or influencing. So maybe Butch Vig should be inducted in Nirvana's place?

Anyway, the "people" who "vote" on the RRHOF inductees are just a bunch of lackeys. It's not like there's an actual popular vote or anything remotely resembling that. Bands are voted in the same way Nigerian presidents are "voted in".

Well, that was easy enough.

Quote from: LMNO, PhD (life continues) on October 09, 2013, 03:38:45 PM
Ok, I have to weigh in here... The real driving force behind the impact of Nevermind was... Butch Vig.

He grabbed a Pixies wanna-be band, and reworked the sound until it became commercially acceptable.  He double-tracked the vocals, used click tracks for the drums, tightened up arrangements, dozens of guitar overdubs, and then calling in Andy Wallace to run all the tracks through as many effects as they could to smooth the rough edges.

Yeah, I said that Nevermind had no rough edges.  Listen to Jesus Lizard's Liar or Goat released around the same time, and you'll know what I'm talking about.  Kurt even said later that Nevermind "Looking back on the production of Nevermind, I'm embarrassed by it now. It's closer to a Mötley Crüe record than it is a punk rock record."

If Nirvana hadn't brought in Butch, Nevermind would have sounded like Bleach 2.  And gone nowhere.  Vig, who later went on to produce Smashing Pumpkins, L7, Sonic Youth (Dirty, if you couldn't guess), Soul Asylum, AFI, Jimmy Eat World, Green Day, and Foo Fighters, and of course, Garbage, found a key piece of the puzzle:  If you want to make a band mainstream, make them sound mainstream.  He showed you could take literally any band and give them commercial appeal if you took away the sharp, buzzy, uncomfortable noises, and made them smooth and palatable.

Again, if anyone wants to argue that Nevermind isn't a soothing album, I can give examples of plenty of albums released in 1991-92 that tear the pants off of that record and grinds it a new asshole.
Title: Re: It's that time of year again...
Post by: AFK on October 18, 2013, 02:55:47 PM
None of those other Vig-produced bands blew up as big or created as much word-of-mouth, street level buzz across a broad swath of youth culture as Nirvana did.

Why?

Because it was the songs.  Nevermind without Vig would not have been Bleach 2, if you think that then you have only heard the songs on Nevermind and haven't actually paid attention and listened to them. 

The other big difference between Bleach and Nevermind were the hooks.  For Nevermind, Kurt hit his stride writing a song that was raw but also had melody and hooks to reel you in.  Bleach, outside About A Girl, didn't have that.  It was way more Melvins-esque where as Nevermind was more channeling Kurt's Beatles influences.

Dude, I have never heard a Miley Cyrus song, and can barely stand punk.  Your opinion is bogus on this matter.

Hoops, you have to understand...If you don't think Miley Cyrus is a LOUDMOUTHED SLUT WHORE then you are obviously a great fan of hers, musically.

RWHN is a little fixated on her, on account of LOUDMOUTH SLUT WHORE WOMAN WHO SPEAKS BEFORE SHE'S SPOKEN TO.

He gets that way.

Yeah, I've been noticing.  So, Nirvana good... Miley bad.  Got it.  I wonder what his thoughts on Courtney are.  I bet he thinks she murdered Kurt.


Obvious suicide is obvious.


Courtney is awful and obviously has ridden his/Nirvana's coattails.  Please don't tell me you think they would have had success without Nirvana.

So every other music critic or expert who have written about the massive impact of Nirvana on music also have bogus opinions?

I would suggest they have subjective opinions.  I don't think anyone is denying that grunge as a movement had a massive impact on the 90s as a whole, or that Nirvana was one of its leading forces... but you seem to be claiming Nirvana was solely responsible for the 90s.  I wish I could blame Kurt Cobain for Reality Bites, but I can't.  I can, however, blame him for Silverchair.

The amount of success? No.  But she was arguably somewhat successful long before she knew Kurt... she's in Sid and Nancy, which came out in 1986, long before anyone heard of Nirvana.  But, being his Yoko certainly helped a lot.

I would argue the other bands would not have been as big without Nirvana.  Nirvana was the band that had, for better or worse, every other record label looking for "similar" bands.  And it worked backwards too.  Sure, Nirvana were influenced by The Pixies, but let's not kid ourselves.  How many Pixies videos did you see during the day on MTV before Nirvana broke?  That's right, none.  They were, and still are, a cult band.  But after Nirvana broke, their fans started checking out all of the name-dropped influences.  The Pixies benefitted from that, Sonic Youth, etc.


I guarantee you far fewer copies of Sonic Youth's tour movie "The Year Punk Broke" would have been sold had Nirvana not been on that tour and had several performances recorded for that film.


Pearl Jam would've been just another classic-rock infused hard rock band, AIC just another hard rock band, Soundgarden, just another hard rock band.  Without Nirvana, the "Seattle Scene" would have been a blip, no bigger than the San Francisco thrash scene or the Georgia folk college-rock scene.

I would like to take a moment to point out that RWHN was still literally a child in some Maine backwoods when Nirvana emerged. I was here and into the music scene in Olympia and Portland... FFS, Nirvana opened for my boyfriend's band at Satyricon, and I worked with guys from Sweaty Nipples and Hitting Birth. Nervous Xtians were still popular, you could see 3 bands for 3 bucks Tuesday nights at Pine Street/La Luna, and I was writing and doing photography for the local music paper in Portland. The reality was, A BAND was going to get tapped to be repackaged for popular consumption because alt rock was skyrocketing in popularity, and everybody was a little baffled that it was Nirvana, but like I said before, Cobain was photogenic. Nirvana's popularity was an effect of the rising popularity and marketability of alt rock, not a cause. This is obvious to anyone who was actually THERE. Which RWHN wasn't, and is clearly piecing together his notions about how it went from magazine retrospectives. Cobain's suicide sealed the deal; without it they would have been just another 90's alt band, and not THE 90's alt band in so many people's minds.

Nirvana were huge when Cobain killed himself.  What sealed the deal was the fact that they engaged so many through their music.  One of the things Kurt struggled with was the fact that they were drawing not just the weirdos into left-of-center music.  They were drawing the jocks, the preppies, the rich kids, the middle class kids, the poor kids, boys and girls, the smart kids, everyone.  "Come As You Are".

It wasn't just going to be any band.  Yes, there was a generation of kids waiting for a band or music movement to come along that would speak to them and include them.  Hair metal wasn't doing it, the pop mainstream of the day wasn't doing it.  Nirvana rumbled in with "Teen Spirit" and youth culture responded with a "Fuck Yes". 

Pearl Jam couldn't have done that, Soundgarden couldn't, AIC couldn't. Nirvana was the only band set up to do that.  And there hasn't been a band that has done that since.

Period.

Yes.  Hard music had been moving in that direction for years.  Look at Jane's Addiction, they were putting out "alternative" music five years earlier, it was only a matter of time.  You seem to be under the impression that Pearl Jam existed in obscurity.  By my recollection, before Cobain ate both barrels of a shotgun, they were basically even in popularity... then Kurt decided to rip off Neil Young too, and his longevity was sealed.

Besides, if Nirvana was so popular, that can only mean they were sellouts and thus inauthentic and undeserving of the Hall of Fame.

I nominate the band that smashes away every so often in one of the apartment buildings near me, because no-one has heard of them, so they are the most authentic of all.

I was living in the DC area when Nevermind came out. I was, in fact, playing in a few punk bands and crashing in various apartments with what can only be described as Nirvana's "target audience". We gave the album a listen, and thought "Spirit" had a good hook.

You know what we listened to, though? The Pixies. In DC, the land that Fugazi built.

We also listened to PJ Harvey and the Beasties. But not Nirvana.

RWHN is very tight with his opinion.  It makes him tight in the ass.  I imagine he spends much of his time in the men's room, trying to take a shit, moaning and groaning.  All that he ever produces, I'm guessing, are pathetic little high-pitched farts.  Every time one of his co-workers goes to take a piss he's in a stall..."ARGH!", "Pahleeeze!", "Oh for the love of GAAAAAAAAAWD!"

It's the same everywhere in America.  The asses are so tight that they squeak.  Everyone has big thick cushions on their chairs to ease the pain.  They walk with short choppy steps, buttocks tense.  It's comical once you notice it.  After you notice it you can't ignore it and keep a straight face.  It's like being in one of those old time movies, a Charlie Chaplin movie.

RWHN-nation (pun incidental & unavoidable, so shut up).  A nation of people obsessed with what other people do or like, who insist that their opinion is so superior to yours that they will bludgeon you with it until you give up in disgust.  Who can't take a proper shit to save their lives, because the stress of being the Smartest Guy in the Room has given them terminal buttlock.

Friends, has your asshole shrunk down?  Does eating vegetables make you sound like a referee's whistle?  Can your farts lance a hole in your jeans, on account of them being one fart-molecule thick?  Have you screamed your pain at an unused roll of toilet paper and an uncaring universe?

Sounds like YOU need to relax.  Take some Slack™, the laxative of the Gods.  SHIT THAT HATE, OR YOU WILL DIE.  Leave being terminally right to people who obsess over that sort of thing (RWHN, for example...It's long past being too late for HIS bunghole, which by now is a geometric point).

Shit your pants.  It's the only hope you have.

People are conflating and arbitrarily using critical and commercial success ITT, which is part of the disconnect.  And again, to be clear, both Pixies and SY should be in the HOF, and clearly were big influences.  However, they just did not transcend to the level that Nirvana did as far as speaking to a broad audience.

FFS, Nirvana opened for my boyfriend's band at Satyricon, and I worked with guys from Sweaty Nipples and Hitting Birth. Nervous Xtians were still popular, you could see 3 bands for 3 bucks Tuesday nights at Pine Street/La Luna, and I was writing and doing photography for the local music paper in Portland. The reality was, A BAND was going to get tapped to be repackaged for popular consumption because alt rock was skyrocketing in popularity, and everybody was a little baffled that it was Nirvana, but like I said before, Cobain was photogenic. Nirvana's popularity was an effect of the rising popularity and marketability of alt rock, not a cause. This is obvious to anyone who was actually THERE. Which RWHN wasn't, and is clearly piecing together his notions about how it went from magazine retrospectives. Cobain's suicide sealed the deal; without it they would have been just another 90's alt band, and not THE 90's alt band in so many people's minds.

:lulz: :lulz: :lulz:

RWHN was playing POGS.

You know, those Aum Shinrynko death cultists in Japan probably wouldn't have bothered with the whole nerve gas thing in the subway, if they hadn't been constipated by Sushi and the need to be RIGHT about religion.  Likewise, if Osama Bin Ladin could have taken a healthy shit, history would be very different.

Which gives me an idea concerning airport security.  Just watch the way people walk.  If they walk like their buttcheeks are sewn together, yank 'em out of line and give them the treatment.  This would save countless man hours at the airport, and make the nation more secure.  Once they're in the back room, they can be checked to see if they have a terminally-impacted bowel, or if they merely have some sort of birth defect.

When the bags all fill up, he looks like Luca Brasi from The Godfather, straining the suit beyond anything any clothes manufacturer could have reasonably been expected to anticipate.

What we saw was RWHN with the bags offloaded prior to testimony.  It's a reasonable precaution, he wouldn't want one of the bags to rupture on local television...And certainly not in the sheriff's office, right next to a cop.  Can you even imagine?  They'd STILL be doing the nightstick rhumba on him, down in the "special" cell in the basement.

No, for them it is too late.  The most that can be done is to KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.  At some unguessable point, he will go off like fucking Mount Krakatoa.  The shock wave will certainly reach Boston, possible even as far as parts of Florida.

In Maine, the devastation will be spectacular.  Imagine the surface of the moon, but with poop instead of regolith.  People will speculate and compare it to Taguska or the Barringer Crater, but they will all be wrong.  It will be one of those horrible anomolies that only We here at The Church will understand, and we will keep that knowledge secret for the good of society, just as we have with the Judge Crater disappearance, the assassination of JFK, and what Nixon REALLY said to Agnew that night they were drunkenly prostrating themselves in front of Abe Lincoln's portrait in the White House.

I'm going to use some RWHN-esque reasoning to prove that Pearl Jam is greater than Nirvana.

I don't ever remember hearing Clarissa ask for tickets to Nirvana, but there was an entire episode devoted to her trying to get tickets to Pearl Jam.

Nah, that only proves that Pearl Jam were safer, probably because they were the blandest of the Seattle bands.  They had some good moments on Ten, but it was all downhill from there.

One significant risk is that the high frequency of the farts will create an oscillation in the ass cheeks, causing them to ripple like those guys' faces in old NASA footage of G-force testing.  Nothing good can come from this...The danger to nearby personnel is pretty obvious, and who wants THAT in their obituary?  "Killed by wildly flapping ass cheeks.  Closed casket funeral.  Please send donations in leiu of flowers, etc".

The only real hope when this happens is that he'll fart again, thus interrupting the forming wave.  Of course this has its own risks, as it may in fact cause the very rupture discussed upthread, resulting in the destruction of Maine and rendering Quebec uninhabitable for hundreds of years.  Sort of a poop-Fukishima.

I'd like to propose a radical new treatment.

As preparation, you'll want to ingest a good quantity of iron filings along with your food.  A good double handfull of pistachios will help smooth out the consistancy variations.

1. Carefully wrap your commode in about a dozen layers of large gauge copper wire.

2. run a circuit to the largest industrial grade generator you can find.

Now, when attempting to take a shit, switch on the power. You should feel the induction force pulling on the stool, unless you reversed your polarity, in which case you just had one HELL of a belch.  Clean the wall.

Good luck.

I was bored stupid by the same old rehashed crap that's essentially no different than a drug thread, and my inner jackass got out.  Seriously, it's the same old shit.  People say things, RWHN says "NUH HUH", and then people say things and RWHN says "NUH HUH" again, rinse, repeat.  Look at the OP...This was intentional (hence the pot o' beans response I posted in the first reply).  It's the SAME OLD SHIT AS ALWAYS.  RWHN is here to be RIGHT and to tell you WHAT.

The only funny bit is that he still can't get it through his bitty little head that he's an annoying twerp that has managed to alienate everyone, rather than being a victim of the Roger/Nigel CIA Mind Control Machine.

Yeah.

I promised myself I was going to stop giving RWHN the time of day, but he's good at what he does. It pissed me off so much I actually put some effort into that response (which got entirely ignored, of course, as dealing with any criticism which demands more than 'nope' is too much for fecal-matter clogged braincells).

On the plus side, though, I discovered a cool artist I hadn't heard before, so I'm going to take this one as a victory.

So much this. Soundgarden was already signed to a major deal BEFORE Nirvana broke. Mother Love Bone was already slated to be "that band" but then Andrew Wood OD'd so another photogenic singer with junkie eyes and a catchy backing band had to be found. And the music industry and media had already been present in the PNW. Nirvana didn't draw attention to the PNW, they were just the largest beneficiaries of the attention that was already there.

Nirvana were huge when Cobain killed himself.  What sealed the deal was the fact that they engaged so many through their music.  One of the things Kurt struggled with was the fact that they were drawing not just the weirdos into left-of-center music.  They were drawing the jocks, the preppies, the rich kids, the middle class kids, the poor kids, boys and girls, the smart kids, everyone.  "Come As You Are".

It wasn't just going to be any band.  Yes, there was a generation of kids waiting for a band or music movement to come along that would speak to them and include them.  Hair metal wasn't doing it, the pop mainstream of the day wasn't doing it.  Nirvana rumbled in with "Teen Spirit" and youth culture responded with a "Fuck Yes". 

Pearl Jam couldn't have done that, Soundgarden couldn't, AIC couldn't. Nirvana was the only band set up to do that.  And there hasn't been a band that has done that since.

Period.

You and I are close to the same age... what sort of high school did you go to?  At my school Nirvana was certainly very popular (to my dismay) but equally so, at that time, was Pearl Jam and a plethora of other "alternative" bands I loathed.  You know what else was extremely popular with the youth?  Probably more so?  Hip fucking hop.  The 90s were not the niche market you seem to recall.

Nevermind broke during my freshman year. Most of the kids were listening to shitty hip-hop (Vanilla Ice was HUGE) and the kids who were actually into the local rock scene were mostly into Mudhoney, Sweaty Nipples, Rhino Humpers, and Gruntruck. Nirvana was for the weird kids who watched 120 Minutes and liked Siouxsie and the Banshees.

It's just an example, but the point is that Nirvana was more the province of the alt-rock crowd. All the kids in school who already knew about them because they had Bleach were the weird kids with dirty fingernails and black hoodies with too-long sleeves with thumbholes cut in them and the only girl in 9th grade who had an eyebrow ring.

That's the cultural impact of RWHN's ass.

The guy in the picture is a wannabe. He's TRYING, but he can't do THIS:

Quote from: Dirty Old Uncle Roger on October 18, 2013, 05:40:35 PM
RWHN is very tight with his opinion.  It makes him tight in the ass.  I imagine he spends much of his time in the men's room, trying to take a shit, moaning and groaning.  All that he ever produces, I'm guessing, are pathetic little high-pitched farts.  Every time one of his co-workers goes to take a piss he's in a stall..."ARGH!", "Pahleeeze!", "Oh for the love of GAAAAAAAAAWD!"

It's the same everywhere in America.  The asses are so tight that they squeak.  Everyone has big thick cushions on their chairs to ease the pain.  They walk with short choppy steps, buttocks tense.  It's comical once you notice it.  After you notice it you can't ignore it and keep a straight face.  It's like being in one of those old time movies, a Charlie Chaplin movie.

RWHN-nation (pun incidental & unavoidable, so shut up).  A nation of people obsessed with what other people do or like, who insist that their opinion is so superior to yours that they will bludgeon you with it until you give up in disgust.  Who can't take a proper shit to save their lives, because the stress of being the Smartest Guy in the Room has given them terminal buttlock.

Friends, has your asshole shrunk down?  Does eating vegetables make you sound like a referee's whistle?  Can your farts lance a hole in your jeans, on account of them being one fart-molecule thick?  Have you screamed your pain at an unused roll of toilet paper and an uncaring universe?

Sounds like YOU need to relax.  Take some Slack™, the laxative of the Gods.  SHIT THAT HATE, OR YOU WILL DIE.  Leave being terminally right to people who obsess over that sort of thing (RWHN, for example...It's long past being too late for HIS bunghole, which by now is a geometric point).

Shit your pants.  It's the only hope you have.

It's just an example, but the point is that Nirvana was more the province of the alt-rock crowd. All the kids in school who already knew about them because they had Bleach were the weird kids with dirty fingernails and black hoodies with too-long sleeves with thumbholes cut in them and the only girl in 9th grade who had an eyebrow ring.

Yup.

Nirvana were huge when Cobain killed himself.  What sealed the deal was the fact that they engaged so many through their music.  One of the things Kurt struggled with was the fact that they were drawing not just the weirdos into left-of-center music.  They were drawing the jocks, the preppies, the rich kids, the middle class kids, the poor kids, boys and girls, the smart kids, everyone.  "Come As You Are".

It wasn't just going to be any band.  Yes, there was a generation of kids waiting for a band or music movement to come along that would speak to them and include them.  Hair metal wasn't doing it, the pop mainstream of the day wasn't doing it.  Nirvana rumbled in with "Teen Spirit" and youth culture responded with a "Fuck Yes". 

Pearl Jam couldn't have done that, Soundgarden couldn't, AIC couldn't. Nirvana was the only band set up to do that.  And there hasn't been a band that has done that since.

Period.

You and I are close to the same age... what sort of high school did you go to?  At my school Nirvana was certainly very popular (to my dismay) but equally so, at that time, was Pearl Jam and a plethora of other "alternative" bands I loathed.  You know what else was extremely popular with the youth?  Probably more so?  Hip fucking hop.  The 90s were not the niche market you seem to recall.

Nevermind broke during my freshman year. Most of the kids were listening to shitty hip-hop (Vanilla Ice was HUGE) and the kids who were actually into the local rock scene were mostly into Mudhoney, Sweaty Nipples, Rhino Humpers, and Gruntruck. Nirvana was for the weird kids who watched 120 Minutes and liked Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Yes, initially, when you could only see their videos on 120 Minutes and Headbanger's Ball.  But then they broke it open, and then everyone was into them.

And by "everyone" you mean "angsty junior high school kids with no friends". Which, now that I think about it, makes perfect sense. :lol:

None of those bands amassed the fan base, nor had the same level of impact that Nirvana had.  The Pixies were an influence on Nirvana and others, but never enjoyed their success, and indeed, received a posthumous bump after Nirvana hit it big.  This is pretty common knowledge.

QuoteThey [Pixies] were almost unknown outside of alt / indie circles when they were actually releasing albums. But the subsequent popularity of bands whom they influenced - Nirvana mostly - made them popular years after they broke up. Hence their reformation and multiple tours (still smaller venues - but as headliners) in the last decade.

I always view their history as similar to the Velvet Underground - who are in the Hall I believe, so I do think the Pixies have a chance.

However...without the explosion of Nirvana, the Pixies would probably be a footnote. Even more reason why Nirvana deserve first-ballot election. Not only were they hugely influential but their impact extended backwards to one of their main influences who reaped the benefits.

To be eligible for induction as an artist (as a performer, composer, or musician) into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the artist must have released a record, in the generally accepted sense of that phrase, at least 25 years prior to the year of induction; and have demonstrated unquestionable musical excellence.

We shall consider factors such as an artist's musical influence on other artists, length and depth of career and the body of work, innovation and superiority in style and technique, but musical excellence shall be the essential qualification of induction.

QuoteA former member of the nominations board once commented that "At one point Suzan Evans lamented the choices being made because there weren't enough big names that would sell tickets to the dinner. That was quickly remedied by dropping one of the doo-wop groups being considered in favor of a 'name' artist...I saw how certain pioneering artists of the '50s and early '60s were shunned because there needed to be more name power on the list, resulting in '70s superstars getting in before the people who made it possible for them. Some of those pioneers still aren't in today.

I want to put something in context, Reverend WHN.

In 1995, I was ten. I didn't know what the hell Nirvana was, much less that Kurt Cobain had died the year before. I do remember a darn good Bill Nye parody of "Smells like Teen Spirit" called "Air Pressure", but I didn't even understand the connection till I was out of High School. I was listening to music my parents listened to, classic rock and the like. By the time I had gotten to an age where I might have cared about Nirvana, their time was long since passed. The early 2000s were full of shitty music on the radio, but I was by that point deeply into classical guitar and didn't listen to the radio anyway.

In other words, I really don't have any opinions about Nirvana. And it seems like the people who really do, who really like them, all are of a certain age, where they were in their late teens or early twenties during the early 90's, of a certain high school or college scene, and certain image. The only other people who seem to care about that band are the ones who make money off of it, or are critics trying to buy their way into that crowd. From my (limited) standpoint, it seems to be a whole lot of hype that didn't stand the test of time. But YMMV; come ask me again in 20 years.

Thread merger with all of the previous RWHN threads, since they are all the same? It's like he's had explosive diarrhea all over the board. Maybe he should get that checked out, because he's been pissing out of his ass for months now, and we're forced to wallow in it.

I want to put something in context, Reverend WHN.

In 1995, I was ten. I didn't know what the hell Nirvana was, much less that Kurt Cobain had died the year before. I do remember a darn good Bill Nye parody of "Smells like Teen Spirit" called "Air Pressure", but I didn't even understand the connection till I was out of High School. I was listening to music my parents listened to, classic rock and the like. By the time I had gotten to an age where I might have cared about Nirvana, their time was long since passed. The early 2000s were full of shitty music on the radio, but I was by that point deeply into classical guitar and didn't listen to the radio anyway.

In other words, I really don't have any opinions about Nirvana. And it seems like the people who really do, who really like them, all are of a certain age, where they were in their late teens or early twenties during the early 90's, of a certain high school or college scene, and certain image. The only other people who seem to care about that band are the ones who make money off of it, or are critics trying to buy their way into that crowd. From my (limited) standpoint, it seems to be a whole lot of hype that didn't stand the test of time. But YMMV; come ask me again in 20 years.


I have a brother about the same age who DID get into Nirvana when he got older despite them not being around anymore.  He had posters, the entire discography, t-shirts, and a lot of his friends were into them too.  Kind of how when I was in college there were a ton of kids into bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Doors, Queen, Floyd, etc.  Nirvana had a very short career, only 3 studio albums, but they had an impact larger than bands who've been around twice that amount of time.  They were a powderkeg right when music needed it. 


There was a whole generation of kids who weren't resonating with the bloated excesses of the dying 80s scenes.  Nirvana got right to the point.  They reflected this sort of listless angst, and honestly anger, that was amongst this generation.  I know this because I was part of that generation and knew many who really got into Nirvana who were in the same place,  And it wasn't just is weirdos, it cut across cliques. 


And they are still an influence.  Fuck, I loathe what she stands for, but even Ms. Cyrus has covered Teen Spirit as demonstrated in the YouTube video I posted earlier.  No one has done what Nirvana did since.  But, then again, the music scene really isn't set up for that kind of movement anymore anyway.

QuoteVernon Reid of Living Colour sees the front man (http://www.musicroom.com/blog/music-news/said%20Jonathan%20Poneman,%20co-founder%20of%20Sub%20Pop,) as a lightning rod: "Cobain changed the course of where the music went [...] There are certain people where you can see the axis of musical history twisting on them: Hendrix was pivotal, Prince was pivotal, Cobain was pivotal."

Your point is moot. Why? I don't care, that's why. Obviously Kurt Cobain didn't care, since he took a lot of drugs and then offed himself. Course, he was over the age of 18, so you don't really care either.

You can talk all day how you think Nirvana was the most influential, greatest band or whatever, but when it comes down to it, none of us agree with you. I frankly don't understand it, and I don't think I would unless I was part of that pseudo-rebellious scene. And it's a bit funny to me you identify with them. On the other hand, you also seem to have allies in the alcohol industry. Like an onion, you have many layers of hypocrisy.

That's a very easy judgement for you to make.  How do you know he didn't care?  Drug addiction is a disease of the brain, it isn't so cut and dry to just say that someone doesn't care.  Same with suicide.  He was a person who certainly had some mental health issues that were not being addressed.

There is no hypocrisy.  All I was saying was that we are allies in the sense that we have a common enemy.  I'm not allowed to receive any financial support from them, and they REALLY want to fund the opposition.  And I wouldn't formally align with them because they'd turn around and try to sabatoge our efforts to change policies to reduce access to alcohol.

You are allies, you aren't allies, you are allies. Sounds like an onion to me. Leave.

You expect him to be a decent biped? Give the monkey his peanuts make him dance til his feet rot off. This is the discordia I demanded. Only a few more months til he's a officially married, and also around the same time he finally burns the bridge and leaves. He doesn't want his wife knowing how much of a prick he's been on here.

It would've been nice if, as a supposed friend, you had shown even a modicum of this concern back when people were dragging my personal life (my divorce especially) into drug debates.  Nope.  You sat on your thumbs out of fear of publicly disagreeing with the rank and file, either that or you agreed with my personal laundry being fair game, either way, given this, you are free to go and poind sand LMNO.  Your words are hollow.


Now, I am perfectly willing to leave, there is only one condition that must be met.  My account is completely deleted.  If that can happen, I will leave.  There are certain developments that have occurred where not having a digital trail here might be helpful.  So if admin can delete my account, I will happliy head off into the sunset.

Nope.  Exceptions are a group thing.  If he really wants his account deleted, then there's two things that have to be understood.

1.  He has to ask ECH via PM, who will then throw the question to the mod team via PM, or just deny it outright.

2.  All IP addresses he has posted from will be banned.  If he's leaving, he's leaving.

One might consider merely "walking away", but unfortunately, PD.com is a form of Tucson.  People leave, sometimes for years, but they always, always come back.  Except Iason, but he's just a few radioactive particles in the stratosphere, along with half the "city" he lived in.

No, here we know that the busses are on time, even if you don't want to know where they go or who is driving.  Here we know that the cops are always around when you need them, it's just that they don't DO anything when you scream for help.  They just grin past the powdered sugar on their faces and munch happily on their donuts while they watch. 

Here we know the ambulance will always come, no matter what, but they will be too late because of the rubber-necking snowbirds blocking the road. 

It's not a DOUR thing or a Nigel thing or even an ECH thing.  It's a Tucson thing.

And there really isn't a way out, because the Tucson thing is in your own head.

Yeah?  Which account did you hear about?  We've banned accounts, but I can't think of any we've erased.

Not sure of the account. Awhile back I ran into some guy over at stucknut.com bragging about all of the accounts of his that had been erased because of his incessant trolling. But it's probably not even true anyway.

Lauren ran the place from, let's say, 2008-2012? SRS question just wondering

She rant it from its inception in 2002 to late 2005/early 2006ish.

Anyone who objectively reviews those threads will see a drastic difference in how one side treated the other.  I didn't take it personal.  You guys did, which made it clear you wanted me to be a bad guy, so I've just been giving you what you want.  Why is everyone complaining?

Let's be honest here: you became a /nuisance/. If you weren't one always. The drug threads were simply the place where your hypocrisy shone the brightest. They dragged the personal in when /you/ did, because you seemed to think that tactic was acceptable, which bit you in the ass.

Show me where I dragged people's kids, wives, or ex-wives into the debate. 

And then explain to me why you think that is justifiable.

The community got exactly what it wanted.  After it decided that I was a villain because of my views and opinions, I became a villain.  Go back and look at those drug threads, look at how everyone froths at the mouth to get personal digs in, dragging in some very personal aspects of my personnel life.  And tell me this isn't what they wanted, including the people you look up to.

Well, here's the disconnect, RWHN.  You're not a villain because of your opinions and views.  You're a shitneck, because you are a basically unpleasant person.  You're not a "villain", you're a jerk.

It is policy not to delete accounts. There are a number of reasons for this, in some cases it is for my legal protection (we might delete the account but every post will stay as will the user name associated with it).

In others its because old threads look really confusing if you have removed a load of messages from them.

I'm sorry if that's not the answer you were hoping for but you must appreciate an adherence to policy.

Of course, just like all the other times either of us stuck up for him, that will somehow be turned around in his head to us either condoning it, or standing idly by while people threaten to google bomb his reputation.

This is why I'm not sticking up for him.  He is, IMO, beyond the pale.  I don't agree with IRLing shit, though, for the same reason I don't support torturing accused terrorists.  It harms the perpetrator as well as the victim, and it's effectively pointless, anyway.

For real, he's just a self-aggrandizing, self-admittedly arrogant retard on the internet.  If you wanted to crusade against that sort of thing, you'd never get to stop.

I've never said anything about anyone at work having a crush on me because no such thing has ever occurred.  There aren't even any black people in my office. 

I dated a black woman for awhile, but broke it off when it was clear we didn't work. 

This is what I'm talking about, this endless game of Chinese whispers with little bits of my personal life that get all mixed up and Frankensteined until you have fables that are completely false.

The thing with your father is another example.  There was a thread about putting personal information on the internet and I simply said a good rule of thumb is less = better.  I had no idea that the thread was predicated on something that happened to your father and I cleared that up as soon as I figured it out.  But that hasn't stopped you from perpetuating this myth that I KNOWINGLY was taking a poke at your father.

Between DOUR and RWHN, only one person has posted any personal information of another user on this website.


Here's your hint: it wasn't me.


As much as I dislike DOUR, I would never post any of his IRL information, nor anyone else's.  That's just low.


But to date you and Stella have threatned it, and DOUR has actually done it.

Where is that post from awhile back where he said the other people where he works with would be LOST WITHOUT HIS SUPERIOR RWHN BRAINZ(TM)? That needs to be linked in ALL THE RWHN THREADS.  :lulz:

Oh, and the stuff about the Black lady at work who allegedly had the hots for him.

Getting a little close to IRLing the argument, here.  I disagree - and won't allow - deliberate attempts to fuck him or anyone else over in any IRL sense.  What comes out of HIS mouth is his own problem.  He doesn't seem to need any help in that department.

This isn't to say you can't quote him.  But I don't want to see any attempts to google bomb him.

No worries.

All I was going to do was quote him. A LOT.

Here's the score dipshit.


Between DOUR and RWHN, only one person has posted any personal information of another user on this website.


Here's your hint: it wasn't me.


As much as I dislike DOUR, I would never post any of his IRL information, nor anyone else's.  That's just low.


But to date you and Stella have threatned it, and DOUR has actually done it. 


But I'm glad you've finally admitted that you are a cyberstalker. 




It wasn't hard finding out everything I know with the video of you in that horrible suit. How are you surprised by this? Remember I have a man crush on you.

Googling a newspaper article is a little different from googling a home address. It is, after all, a NEWSPAPER ARTICLE.

But "He" isn't a giveaway as to your IRL identity.  And you hate it.  Which means I like it.  Because "You should be more careful what gets put out there."

I was fucking THERE.  I read what you wrote with MY OWN EYES.

And don't give me any of your fucking BULLSHIT about not understanding the fucking situation, because when it was spelled out to you, YOU DUG YOUR FUCKING HEELS IN.

So you'll understand if I don't give a shit for what you like and what you don't like.  Using your first name isn't actionable, given the public nature of the sources of that first name.  Hell, I could LEGALLY get away with your LAST name, but I don't see the need to.

So at this point, I again refer you to our complaints department.  Given your gregarious nature and near-impeccable social habits, I am sure he will drop a bowel-liquifying censure on my pale and pasty ass.

Being the pessimistic cynic I am when it comes to the internet, my guess is that the only true way to protect your information from stalkers on the internet is to not post it on the internet.

HEY...

Fuck off.


Not trying to be difficult, but the reality is, if someone REALLY wants to find stuff, and has even a reasonable amount of internet skills, they will find it.  I could care less about what switches get turned on or off here, but if the goal is to keep a committed stalker (read: completely obsessive) at bay, it's not going to stop them. 


All they have to do is make an account and lurk, or not act as an obvious jackass. 


It's why I am VERY protective of information.  There's a reason only two people on this site know my real name, it's why I don't post pics anymore, it's why I've not posted info about my education.


The fewer crumbs we leave the less likely someone we don't want finding us, will find us.

No, but you posted about a column the day it was run.  Someone googled that (Can't remember precisely who), and there you were, goofy fucking haircut and all.

Then, AFTER that, you bragged about testimony.  I was curious as to what you are capable of as a public speaker, so I searched it on Youtube.  There you were. And there was the organization's name.

Being the pessimistic cynic I am when it comes to the internet, my guess is that the only true way to protect your information from stalkers on the internet is to not post it on the internet.

HEY...

Fuck off.


Not trying to be difficult, but the reality is, if someone REALLY wants to find stuff, and has even a reasonable amount of internet skills, they will find it.  I could care less about what switches get turned on or off here, but if the goal is to keep a committed stalker (read: completely obsessive) at bay, it's not going to stop them. 


All they have to do is make an account and lurk, or not act as an obvious jackass. 


It's why I am VERY protective of information.  There's a reason only two people on this site know my real name, it's why I don't post pics anymore, it's why I've not posted info about my education.


The fewer crumbs we leave the less likely someone we don't want finding us, will find us.

Which is, of course, why I had no moral quandry in looking at your youtube clip.

Short and skinny of it:  You saw my complaints about being harrassed, and without bothering to figure out what was going on, you lectured.  To score a point or two.  Just like when you made that comment when I referred to my birthday, you passive-aggressive little wimp.

And then it came around and bit you on your manky ass.  Boo hoo hoo.

Here's the facts, as I see them:

-RWHN is an asshole, or very, very good at pretending to be one. So good he convinces himself.

Oh, that's the only fact. So there's just the one then.

That ignore feature, while changing the substance of his posts, does not alter the style.

There was no mention of your father until about the third page, after I made my posts which were responding to the OP.  It is as clear as day.  And no matter what I have said or haven't said about myself on this website, at no point did I grant permission for people to post things which reveal my PI. 


You have nothing to stand on.

Do you even read the posts you respond to?  Serious question.

And your permission to post 3rd party youtube and/or newspaper links is NOT REQUIRED.

See, the difference between you and me is that I actually have some scruples.  I'm not into this vendetta, "net-stomping" stuff.  I would never stoop as low as you as to reveal even a fraction of someone's IRL info, fuck, even if they said it was okay I wouldn't.

Yes, given the circumstances.  I am absolutely doing that.  No question.  Because it fucking fits the SPIRIT of the law, as well.  Your regret about boasting does not impose any additional moral imperatives on anyone else.

Now, quit being a sissy.  You're DYING to do something here, or at least convince me that you are. 

DO IT. 

Stop prancing around and GET TO IT.

Because, you know, you've known me here for 7+ years.  What part of my personality or lack thereof makes you think that I would be in ANY way averse to you doing whatever the fuck it is you have (or want me to believe you have up your sleeve)?  Because I'm totally NOT into unreasonable escalation, just to watch shit burn.

QUIT BEING A PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE LITTLE TURD AND SHOW YOUR HAND.

Seriously, folks. What can be done here?

Do we want this to just keep going?

I don't. I'll admit, I had no hope about peace with this man and this forum. Not since the day Twid earnestly tried to reach out and the fucker pissed all over him. He WANTS everybody to be against him because it fits his worldview.

We can't call out every asshole we don't like for not being a Discordian, right? Even a drug prevention and prohibitionist. Surely, the RWNH is a Discordian. I want to state that clearly. I'm not saying anyone ELSE is saying he's not, I'm just saying.

But not all Spags have their own happy place here at the PD.com

And that's a damn shame.

I think a large part of the struggle here comes from the fact that he was one of those spags. And many of us loved him for it. That special PD love that isn't full of slobber and tears. That deep respect that we can't properly explain to others, ourselves, or each other, right here.

So, nobody quite wants to give up all the way, and then when any of us do we get really nasty because it's such a blow. I mean, trolls are trolls. And holist is as holist does. But to have one of us go out like that...like this.

Maybe we're just worried, it could happen to any of us. I sure was mad when Charley blocked me on FB because I said Khara was not a very nice person, or because he blocked every one of Roger's Cronies or which he must of thought I was one (I keep sending in the applications, but all I get back is coyote poop).

Every now an again, because none of us really force anything on anyone, comes along of their own accord and figures out what this former tribe member is doing (hooting and hollering and shitting in the fucking sweat lodge, and acting a fool) and tries, and figures out that's all an act. Except for the shitting, the shitting is very real.

And they get super mad. Which often make me more made for some reason.

Anyway, I had a point. Oh yeah, that ignore function works killer. It's all SSDD anyway.



Please forgive me egregious use of general "you" and "we". I recognize there's a lot of stuff going on and many opinions and reactions...

Every now an again, because none of us really force anything on anyone, comes along of their own accord and figures out what this former tribe member is doing (hooting and hollering and shitting in the fucking sweat lodge, and acting a fool) and tries, and figures out that's all an act. Except for the shitting, the shitting is very real.

And they get super mad. Which often make me more made for some reason.

Anyway, I had a point. Oh yeah, that ignore function works killer. It's all SSDD anyway.



Please forgive me egregious use of general "you" and "we". I recognize there's a lot of stuff going on and many opinions and reactions...

On second thought, I'm okay with him being erased. That way I don't have to be reminded of my gullibility. Reverend who? I've already forgotten. Not like he was anything substantive anyway. This was all a great big game of pretend life.

The community got exactly what it wanted.  After it decided that I was a villain because of my views and opinions, I became a villain.  Go back and look at those drug threads, look at how everyone froths at the mouth to get personal digs in, dragging in some very personal aspects of my personnel life.  And tell me this isn't what they wanted, including the people you look up to.

I never did this once. I went into those threads with avoiding that specifically in mind (actually part of my meditation training at the time), and only tried to bring up things I could link to sources. I always argued from a position of respect, as you do influence your community, and any genuine, new information I could shoot your way would only benefit said community.

When you started spinning in circles, and ignoring corrections-made-by-the-authors-of-studies-you-had-cited-from-DEA-websites, and refused to pay attention to anyone who said "[citation needed]", well then the sarcasm-laced-knives came out and I SHUT THE HELL UP AND MOVED TO THE BACK.

I seriously disagreed with some of the things that were said, but I ain't nobody's internet white knight and you dug that hole yourself.

I just dropped in to gloat a little.

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/10/22/21081289-clear-majority-favors-legal-marijuana-new-gallup-poll-shows?lite

QuoteFor the first time ever in a Gallup poll, a clear majority of the country – 58 percent – say that pot should be legalized. That figure represents an increase of 10 percentage points since last year, according to Gallup. The poll surveyed 1,028 Americans by phone Oct. 3-6.

Those in favor of legalization skew young and liberal, though the biggest increase of support came among people identified as independents. Sixty-two percent of independents favored legalization in 2013, up 12 percentage points from last year, according to the poll. Sixty-five percent of Democrats favored legalization, vs. just 35 percent of Republicans.

The poll broke Americans down into five general age groups: 18 to 29, 30 to 49, 50 to 64, and 65 or older. The only age group not in favor of legalization was those 65 years or older – 53 percent of those polled still opposed legalization.

"Americans are increasingly recognizing that marijuana is less harmful than they've been led to believe," said Mason Tvert, a spokesperson for Marijuana Policy Project.  "I think it's time to regulate marijuana like alcohol and most Americans appear to agree. We're seeing support for ending prohibition in states across the country and efforts are being made to change state laws."

Twenty states, plus the District of Columbia, permit marijuana for medical use. Washington state and Colorado have passed legislation permitting use of the drug recreationally. Marijuana is still considered an illegal drug by the federal government and is categorized as a hallucinogen by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Gallup first started tracking the question of legalization in 1969, when just 12 percent of the country favored legal use of marijuana. That figure doubled in the 1970s, reaching 28 percent. Support rose steadily and reached 50 percent in 2011, according to Gallup research. A Gallup poll released in early August said that 38 percent of Americans have tried marijuana.

Still, there is opposition.

"I'm concerned that these people that are saying that they are favoring legalization are really not aware or knowledgeable about the marijuana that's out there today," said Carla Lowe, the founder of Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana.

A poll conducted by Pew Research, released in April, said that 52 percent of the country favored legalization.

Carla Lowe, of course, is hilarious.  She's the darling of the Heritage Foundation and Take Back America.

Which is the only place the prohibitionists have any remaining support to speak of.

So good luck "marshalling voices for the big fight", RWHN.  It will be interesting to see who your "allies and bedfellows" are, this time next year.

Ah yes, the old "the marijuana that's out there today" saw. :lol: Harkening back to some mythical low-THC ditchweed of yesteryear that we all base our perceptions on rather than the marijuana that we grew up with and smoke or see our friends smoking. It's a funny argument; it's basically the argument that those who favor marijuana legalization have less exposure to marijuana than those who oppose it, whereas in reality the opposite is likely true.

Oh, I know it is coming.  And you will find it is not the bill of goods you've been sold by the legalization people.  They could give a fuck about your personal freedom, they are after one thing and one thing only, Green.  And so we'll have another legalized vice, alcohol and tobacco will be just as strong as ever, and you'll have more addiction, which will require more treatment, it will require MORE enforcement to keep it from kids (which will ultimately never be enough). 


Add all of those "mores" up and you have something that is going to cost, not save, and all of the money is going to go to the industry, because they will fight tooth and nail all of these taxes they supposedly support,


You are being completely fooled but you are too stupid and blind to recognize it.

After it's legalized it will all be DOOOOOM and civilization falling apart and kids will turn into weed addicts in DROVES and there will be no societal benefits.


There will be no societal benefits, just the same social costs we see with the other legal vices.

That's the medical marijuana industry genius, which will be dwarfed and squashed by the recreational marijuana industry.  Once it is legalized, there will no longer be any need for medical marijuana laws.

You honestly think employers are going to treat marijuana the same as caffeine and tobacco?  Really?  You are incredibly naive.


As it is now, being certified to use medical marijuana doesn't get you out of a random drug test.  Because employers still view it as impairment.  Great, use your medical marijuana at home, but the stuff still is going to make you high, and no employer is going to risk somebody on marijuana running a forklift.

Employers have a need to maintain safety in the workplace.  Put yourself in their shoes.  Someone who was tested and found to have had marijuana in their system is allowed to still work and does something to cause harm to another employee.  What do you think is going to happen there when it comes to light that the person who caused the accident had tested positive?  You think the family will just say, "oh, it was only marijuana" and not sue the pants off the employer?

Workplaces aren't any safer or better off since random testing was first implemented, and that tells us everything we really need to know.

In Ohio, the laws are already "operating while impaired", meaning, /any/ impairment can be counted. From exhaustion to cannabis to alcohol. I don't think anything would have to be changed to account for the "new threat". These things are not hard to implement. But it was never about that.

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/10/22/21081289-clear-majority-favors-legal-marijuana-new-gallup-poll-shows?lite (http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/10/22/21081289-clear-majority-favors-legal-marijuana-new-gallup-poll-shows?lite)

QuoteFor the first time ever in a Gallup poll, a clear majority of the country – 58 percent – say that pot should be legalized. That figure represents an increase of 10 percentage points since last year, according to Gallup. The poll surveyed 1,028 Americans by phone Oct. 3-6.

Those in favor of legalization skew young and liberal, though the biggest increase of support came among people identified as independents. Sixty-two percent of independents favored legalization in 2013, up 12 percentage points from last year, according to the poll. Sixty-five percent of Democrats favored legalization, vs. just 35 percent of Republicans.

The poll broke Americans down into five general age groups: 18 to 29, 30 to 49, 50 to 64, and 65 or older. The only age group not in favor of legalization was those 65 years or older – 53 percent of those polled still opposed legalization.

"Americans are increasingly recognizing that marijuana is less harmful than they've been led to believe," said Mason Tvert, a spokesperson for Marijuana Policy Project.  "I think it's time to regulate marijuana like alcohol and most Americans appear to agree. We're seeing support for ending prohibition in states across the country and efforts are being made to change state laws."

Twenty states, plus the District of Columbia, permit marijuana for medical use. Washington state and Colorado have passed legislation permitting use of the drug recreationally. Marijuana is still considered an illegal drug by the federal government and is categorized as a hallucinogen by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Gallup first started tracking the question of legalization in 1969, when just 12 percent of the country favored legal use of marijuana. That figure doubled in the 1970s, reaching 28 percent. Support rose steadily and reached 50 percent in 2011, according to Gallup research. A Gallup poll released in early August said that 38 percent of Americans have tried marijuana.

Still, there is opposition.

"I'm concerned that these people that are saying that they are favoring legalization are really not aware or knowledgeable about the marijuana that's out there today," said Carla Lowe, the founder of Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana.

A poll conducted by Pew Research, released in April, said that 52 percent of the country favored legalization.

Carla Lowe, of course, is hilarious.  She's the darling of the Heritage Foundation and Take Back America.

Which is the only place the prohibitionists have any remaining support to speak of.

So good luck "marshalling voices for the big fight", RWHN.  It will be interesting to see who your "allies and bedfellows" are, this time next year.

Your logic is... well, not.  TCH levels can be found up to ten days after smoking.  That is what a pot test will detect.

Smoking before going to work would be the same as doing shots of vodka before going to work.  Both of which would make one imparied.  But that's not what the test is doing.  It's testing if you have TCH in your system, not if you're high.


If I take a shot on Friday, and smoke a joint on Saturday, and do nothing else all weekend, hopefully you'll say I was not impaired on Monday.  And a drug test on Monday would show I have no alcohol in my pee, but I do have TCH.

But you're saying that I should be fired, even though I am not impaired at work, and yet my drug test is positive. 

Again, what are the business rules in Colorado for recreational use?  I'd be interested to find out.

So, the employee will sue because there is no proof of impairment.

The link you posted said nothing about implied use at work, it was about whether there was use without a prescription.

However, if you have something similar from Colorado, I'd be interested in that, specifically in relation to recreational use.


What you aren't recognizing is that impairment can and does continue after use, thus the need for the testing in the first place.  You seem to be suggesting it should be okay to use marijuana right before coming to work, so long as they don't actually use it AT work.  If they are impaired they are impaired, and thus making their workplace less safe and prone to risk.  Employers are risk averse.


Marijuana is an impairing substance whether or not it is legal, which is why, it will still be subject to testing when it is legal, and rightly so.

Your logic is... well, not.  TCH levels can be found up to ten days after smoking.  That is what a pot test will detect.

Smoking before going to work would be the same as doing shots of vodka before going to work.  Both of which would make one imparied.  But that's not what the test is doing.  It's testing if you have TCH in your system, not if you're high.


If I take a shot on Friday, and smoke a joint on Saturday, and do nothing else all weekend, hopefully you'll say I was not impaired on Monday.  And a drug test on Monday would show I have no alcohol in my pee, but I do have TCH.

But you're saying that I should be fired, even though I am not impaired at work, and yet my drug test is positive. 

Again, what are the business rules in Colorado for recreational use?  I'd be interested to find out.


Do you agree that employers tend to be risk averse?  Yes or No.

Quote from: V3X on April 10, 2013, 05:17:27 PM
I think some wrong lessons were learned in the last century, and I'm not sure how they got learned. Take the two biggest social change movements that happened in the 20th Century (in America) -- Women's Suffrage and Civil Rights. These two movements started as all great movements start out -- from the bottom up, with more and more people becoming sick and goddamn tired of the way things are, and deciding to live in a world where things aren't that way.

Somehow, when the history books were written (or taught, or both), people got the idea that the hard-fought equality (or progress toward equality, anyway) that was won in those movements was somehow a product of things like the 19th Amendment or the Civil Rights Act. And while yes, those pieces of legislation were -- and are -- crucial to the eventual and continued success of these movements, they are not the springs from which equality flows. They never would have happened if people weren't out there, being all free and shit, without permission.

But now we have this idea that the quickest way from Here to There is via the government and convincing lawmakers to send down enlightenment from Mount Olympus or wherever the fuck we seem to think those overblown lawyers live. But just as you can't legislate morality, you can't legislate liberty, either. You can't pass a law that says "Shit is hereby fixed." That isn't where liberty comes from.

It sounds quaint, and for some reason it seems counter-intuitive, but government follows a popular charge for social progress. Government does not lead those charges. You will never, ever find a government anywhere -- no matter how advanced or progressive you think it is -- that will ever be very good at paving the road to equality so the masses can have a smooth ride all the way to Utopia. Like any road, it gets built first by a ton of people walking that way before there's a fucking road there, breaking their legs, stubbing their toes, and spraining their ankles along the way until finally somebody notices that "hey! Everybody's going this way, let's put a grader on that shit and lay down some pavement."

It wouldn't happen that way in the real world.  In the real world, it would be a positive test along with behavior that deems the employee unfit for duty.  Now, I also happen to believe that workplaces should have substance abuse policies that are supportive, not just punitive.  Anyone can fuck up, if someone pops positive, get them to EAP and link them up with resources and get them some help.  I don't think employers SHOULD fire them on the spot, but the law says they can.


I also know that employers are risk averse and can understand why they would want to terminate someone who is coming to work positive for drugs.  That is a potential workplace safety issue that can be VERY costly.


My dad is a safety director for a large employer so I have a bit of a window into these issues.

I'm sorry?  I completely admit that MJ is imparing, when you're high.  Your posts make you appear to think that if you show up positive on a pee test for pot, you're high.

What you're ignoring is that the test is not an accurate measurement of impairment.

UNNNNGGGGG!  Legalization doesn't change the fact that marijuana is an impairing substance, employers will continue to not want to have impaired employees so they will continue to test.  This is pretty straightforward.

Positive MJ test is not proof of impairment.


Are employers risk averse?

Maybe a few. If they all were, there would be no need for OSHA.


No, most of them, which is why they all have lawyers.


Dumbass.

It wouldn't happen that way in the real world.  In the real world, it would be a positive test along with behavior that deems the employee unfit for duty.  Now, I also happen to believe that workplaces should have substance abuse policies that are supportive, not just punitive.  Anyone can fuck up, if someone pops positive, get them to EAP and link them up with resources and get them some help.  I don't think employers SHOULD fire them on the spot, but the law says they can.


I also know that employers are risk averse and can understand why they would want to terminate someone who is coming to work positive for drugs.  That is a potential workplace safety issue that can be VERY costly.


My dad is a safety director for a large employer so I have a bit of a window into these issues.

You have fuck all idea about these issues. All you have, as always is a shitty appeal to authority. This time "DADDY SAYS".

Some employers are dicks.  Employers in an 'at-will' state can fire you for looking at them the wrong way.  An even-handed employer would look at the test along with the rest of the picture,  If you tested positive, but have been a model employee, productive, timely, etc., you are very likely not going to get fired.


But, employers should have tools available to them to catch the ones who are coming impaired and posing a risk to others.  Do you disagree with that notion?  If so, why?

I don't think he is, either, to be perfectly honest.  Because he'd have been fired for incompetence years ago.  He's convinced more people to be rabidy anti-prohibition than anything else.  I know I went from being on the fence in 2010 (I was in favor of decriminalization but not really legalization) to wanting weed to be completely legalized in 2012.

And that one hit of weed will impair you for at least 10 days.


Some employers are dicks.  Employers in an 'at-will' state can fire you for looking at them the wrong way.  An even-handed employer would look at the test along with the rest of the picture,  If you tested positive, but have been a model employee, productive, timely, etc., you are very likely not going to get fired.


But, employers should have tools available to them to catch the ones who are coming impaired and posing a risk to others.  Do you disagree with that notion?  If so, why?

There you go, assuming facts not in evidence.


Are you seriously arguing that employees never go to work impaired ever?  Really?
I'm seriously arguing that a piss test is not evidence of impairment.

An argument that you have yet to address.

Did you think he would?

I have addressed it, you don't like the answer.

Employers are risk averse. 

ECH claims there is a reliable test for impairment, if so, then hopefully employers will use them when it is legal.  Until all employers get there, they have to use the tools available and make their best judgement.  Would you want to be responsible for someone who tested positive and caused a workplace accident that claimed another life?

Or are you going to keep skirting that issue and pretending it doesn't exist?

Same thing goes for booze.  Right now, if there's any biological indication that you use alcohol, you should be fired on the spot.

I'm just laughing at your rather mutable standard, which seems to consist entirely on whether you are on the receiving end, you loathesome fucking hypocrite.

The point being, there are creeps like that, like Uncle BadTouch, who come to this site, you know this, you know I have kids, YET, you grease the wheels for these creeps anyway.

You are a pathetic excuse of a man.

This didn't seem to be a problem when my old man was being harrassed by Uncle BadTouch's crew.  No, at that point you lectured me on the very thing you have done...Allowing PI to flop all over the place.

"Bread crumbs", I believe you called them.

So, you know, fuck off.   :lulz:

And you happily assemble them here in one place.

No, actually, you happily assembled them all at HA, then allowed them to be linked to youtube, then came here boasting about it.

And, back to my main point, you only care about this shit when it's happening to you.  This is DEMONSTRATED.

So I don't care.  See?   :|  <--- Don't care.

I've never posted where I work, someone else dug that up...You
I've never said boo about that YouTube video, someone else dug that up...You

You did the cyberstalking and happily put it here, along with my first name.

How much of your PI have I posted?  That's right, none.  So the "eye for eye" "excuse" isn't an excuse because I've never taken one of your eyes.

I don't remember where that particular post was originally posted, but it looks to me like a joke which was in poor taste, and was regretted afterwards... not exactly the same thing as Uncle BadTouch.  And apparently you were so offended by his comment about your daughter that you had forgotten all about it by the time Net brought it up.  Must've been really disturbing... or something.

Here's the thing, whistledick, your first name really doesn't count as PI. The fact that YOU spew about your laughably pathetic little job all over the place thereby making it easier for someone to dig up your shit is YOUR fault, nobody else's.

And here's the other thing, nobody actually gives so much as a tiny little ratfuck about you or your life. So go cry in your cornflakes some more. Or maybe just leave, if it all bothers you so much. Either way figure it the fuck out and stop shitting up this place with your inane whining and your dumbshit Mister Mackey act.

Excuse me?

You better not be implying we in any way foster an environment that would allow paedophiles to leverage or use this site for any kind of exploitation.

PD isn't a site I would consider entirely work safe, and there are sections of the site I wouldn't allow children on. But we have had a zero tolerance policy on the likes of Uncle BadTouch and people who even implied those kind of desires.

If I felt your children were in any kind of danger I would immediately take corrective action against it.

But the fact is this is all a potential pedophile could get from this site if they were inclined:

Your name, and the fact that you have children.

The same information freely available to the people you pass in your day to day life.

Don't play that card because I find it very insulting, I have an 11 year old brother who plays minecraft with other children from members of this site. If I was in any way worried that this site could endanger him, I'd pull the plug on it in seconds.

Where you work is publicly available on other sites, pull the pages and links and we'll pull anything quoted here. That's where the information came from. After all they are just as likely... more likely to be used by a paedophile, we simply don't have that much traffic through here, not as much as a news site.

Nowhere on this site is your address listed.

Nothing listed here isn't recycled from bigger sources.

I'm weighing it up. The fact is they didn't take it from someone's facebook page. It came from an article by an expert in the field of drugs control, readily available, and used, primarily here in a discussion on drug control.

Like it or not you are a public figure now.

Let me try to create a hypothetical example; say for example a writer had published a shitty book. For the sake of argument we'll call him Benny Mack.
We discuss and review the book, and in our personal tastes we don't like it. He shows up to talk about the book and we discuss it with him.

Now if he was to choose then to say no how dare you insult my book: remove my name from this site, I'd be very confused. He put it in the public domain for consumption, and can't react shocked and tell them they as a group may not refer to him by name when discussing this book.

You've mixed work and internet discussions and it's not gone well. A lot of people here don't agree with your views.

Firstly, because this is a forum, we mess around but I don't want someone getting into trouble over it, and secondly because you used to be a fun guy.

But you didn't.

You said that you were worried about a hypothetical pedophile seeking out your kids based on the fact that your name had been posted here.

You can still go back on that. Admit that the job thing is what you are worried about and I'll take the flack from the other admins for deleting it.

I want a cease and desist on posting my name.

Certainly, pull the article it was quoted from, because right now its in the public domain.

I was hoping for something a little more ethical from you.  You realize the precedent that is being established right?

I'm weighing it up. The fact is they didn't take it from someone's facebook page. It came from an article by an expert in the field of drugs control, readily available, and used, primarily here in a discussion on drug control.

Like it or not you are a public figure now.

Let me try to create a hypothetical example; say for example a writer had published a shitty book. For the sake of argument we'll call him Benny Mack.
We discuss and review the book, and in our personal tastes we don't like it. He shows up to talk about the book and we discuss it with him.

Now if he was to choose then to say no how dare you remove my name from this site, I'd be very confused. He put it in the public domain for consumption, and can't react shocked and tell them they as a group may not refer to him by name when discussing this book.

You've mixed work and internet discussions and it's not gone well. A lot of people here don't agree with your views.

I don't think your kids are in the slightest danger from your name being quoted from a news article you were interviewed for, If I was, it would be gone already.

And what about Bear's public declarations?  On YOUR site?

I have no idea what bear said. I don't read every post on this site. Link if you like.

DOUR has assembled enough of my information

:lulz:

Yes, making that Youtube video of you was pure evil genius on my part.

Funny how he was totally "not concerned" about it when I pointed out that bragging about the article would be all anyone needed to find out what his name is and where he works. :kingmeh:

Concerned, not concerned, concerned, not concerned. It's dizzying.

I don't worry about his concern.  He's part of the mechanism that puts kids in prison.  Also, he's a shitbird on a personal level.

No sympathy, here.

Scooter summed up in TWO SENTENCES.

If you told me you were afraid your job was in danger, or that you are worried your boss might find this place I'd delete your name out straight away.

Firstly, because this is a forum, we mess around but I don't want someone getting into trouble over it, and secondly because you used to be a fun guy.

But you didn't.

You said that you were worried about a hypothetical pedophile seeking out your kids based on the fact that your name had been posted here.

You can still go back on that. Admit that the job thing is what you are worried about and I'll take the flack from the other admins for deleting it.

If he's deleted, he should also be blocked.  Because I can tell you RIGHT NOW what the weasel is going to do the moment he's deleted.

If for whatever reasons a protracted, expensive, international lawsuit was filed against my broke ass I would reinstate those messages, backups exist for a reason. But I would take it on good faith that if I do delete his name that is the end of it.

Naw.  He won't sue, because he CAN'T sue.  Nothing that has happened is actionable.

How about this, when I came home today, my front door in my garage, which had been locked, and the inner entry door in my breezeway, which had also been closed, were both open and ajar.  I am the only person who has a key to this house. 

So yeah, I'm a little concerned right now.  So I'm asking you to provide one less place where people can get information to locate me.

Delete my name and I would like a cease and desist on all future postings of my name.

Pfffft Roger and I "data mined" you ages ago, remember us laughing about your employment and educational credentials not being what you led on? Pretty sure it isn't against any rules to datamine people. I do it all the time just because I'm bored/curious/want to know who I'm really dealing with/whether they're dangerous. That's why I mentioned to you when you boasted about that article being published that it was all anyone needed to identify you and find all your other publicly-available information. That was a friendly heads-up, Scooter, since you had made such a strong statement earlier about not posting identifiable info online. And at the time, you said you weren't really concerned about it. So, you know, not being concerned about it and all, you seem to be contradicting yourself more than a little bit here.

Pfffft Roger and I "data mined" you ages ago, remember us laughing about your employment and educational credentials not being what you led on? Pretty sure it isn't against any rules to datamine people. I do it all the time just because I'm bored/curious/want to know who I'm really dealing with/whether they're dangerous. That's why I mentioned to you when you boasted about that article being published that it was all anyone needed to identify you and find all your other publicly-available information. That was a friendly heads-up, Scooter, since you had made such a strong statement earlier about not posting identifiable info online. And at the time, you said you weren't really concerned about it. So, you know, not being concerned about it and all, you seem to be contradicting yourself more than a little bit here.

I want a cease and desist on posting my name.

Certainly, pull the article it was quoted from, because right now its in the public domain.

I was hoping for something a little more ethical from you.  You realize the precedent that is being established right?

I'm weighing it up. The fact is they didn't take it from someone's facebook page. It came from an article by an expert in the field of drugs control, readily available, and used, primarily here in a discussion on drug control.

Like it or not you are a public figure now.

Let me try to create a hypothetical example; say for example a writer had published a shitty book. For the sake of argument we'll call him Benny Mack.
We discuss and review the book, and in our personal tastes we don't like it. He shows up to talk about the book and we discuss it with him.

Now if he was to choose then to say no how dare you remove my name from this site, I'd be very confused. He put it in the public domain for consumption, and can't react shocked and tell them they as a group may not refer to him by name when discussing this book.

You've mixed work and internet discussions and it's not gone well. A lot of people here don't agree with your views.

I don't think your kids are in the slightest danger from your name being quoted from a news article you were interviewed for, If I was, it would be gone already.

And what about Bear's public declarations?  On YOUR site?

I have no idea what bear said. I don't read every post on this site. Link if you like.

I said something along the lines of ruining his IRL if he draws FIRST BLOOD on here by posting people's info, and ruining their IRL. I said I have already got his info saved on my laptop, and I'm waiting those 4 months til he gets married to counter strike. I know he's going to do this since that's when he's going to burn all the bridges behind him and with everyone else on it. After those four months I'll delete whatever info. I hate little shit heads like him. If you don't believe me he is going to do this and be that asshole then let me remind you about the HFTs.

Knock that off. We don't threaten members, even in a reaction to something you think they are going to do.  :(

Probably, but I'm not really interested in examining real life claims. Same goes for any of the people how have had shitty exes who needed help here, I'm going to take it at its word.

He has no intention of going anywhere.  This is just another control game.  That's why he insists on being deleted, though he knows we don't do that.  That's why he wouldn't answer you about being concerned for his job.

Everything about him is a control game.

The Smashing Pumpkins were languishing as a weird alt-metal band, relegated to Headbanger's Ball and 120 Minutes until Nirvana came along.

Another crime to lay at Nirvana's feet.

And where have the Smashing Pumpkins been, recently?  Playing county fairs, perhaps?

I gotta agree with RWHN that Nirvana is coo.

I gotta agree with you that Smashing Pumpkins blow donkey balls and we'd be better off with them languishing more until they called it a day.

For better or for worse, they also paved the way for Green Day and The Offspring.

The Offspring formed 3 years before Nirvana.

See, I could get behind the Offspring. But Nirvana? C'mon.

I like about a third of the Offspring's stuff, because it's shouty in a good way.
