News:

    PD.com forums: a disorganized echo-chamber full of concordian, Greyfaced radical left-wing nutjobs who honestly believe they can take down imaginary Nazis by distributing flyers. They are highly-suspicious of all newcomers and hostile to almost everyone, including themselves. The only thing they don't take seriously is Discordianism.

Think for Yourself, Schmuck! / Re: Anatomy of a Meme
August 12, 2007, 11:56:14 AM
Would be great to convince the coca cola company to print one of our memes on the cans. Fex.
But i guess that won't work unless someone here has very good connections.

And who do you think made up that definition?

Someone who thought exactly this:

QuoteWho tells you that YOUR view of the surroundings is right and not theirs? Will an elephant be red just beacuse the majority of people claim he's red?

O noes because some piece of paper says bigots are distorted I have to agree with it?
What about the think for yourself thing than?

I call bullshit.  Learn how to structure an argument based on agreed terms and what someone says, instead of what you think they should have said.

That definitly is right, im taking this to far.

Also, bigotry is, by definition, a distortion of your view of your surroundings

What?
Who says that?
Who tells you that YOUR view of the surroundings is right and not theirs? Will an elephant be red just beacuse the majority of people claim he's red?

I call Bullshit.

Quote<i>Bigots are people who are assholes to other people just because the other people are different than their stupid ideas of what is acceptable.</i>

Agreed.

<i>Are you telling me that you think thats okay?</i>

No, I'm not saying that I think its ok. Nowhere did I say "It's OK to be a bigot." Discord didn't say "Yay bigotry is fun". He said that it wasn't necessarily his job to fix it. He seems to be happy to focus on his own BiP, not someone elses. Based on your response, you seem to think that there's some requirement to life beyond being happy: Yeah, because obviously nothing matters, even being an asshole to lots of other people, as long as YOU are happy. Right...

Maybe there is, but I have yet to see evidence that such a position is true in any sense.

My point is not that I think its OK to be a bigot... my point is that I don't care if some asshole is a bigot. He isn't my problem, he isn't my responsibility, he isn't my job, nor is he my burden. If Discord prefers to spend his life focused on himself and getting out of his BiP, good for him, if he's happy on top of that then Double Bully, he's doing better than most of the monkeys on this goddess forsaken rock. If you choose to spend your life combating bigots and their BiP, then good for you, if that makes you happy on top of that then Double Bully, you're doing better than most of the monkeys on this goddess forsaken rock.

And if I prefer to enjoy myself, my life (whatever may be left of it), my friends and poking at the minds I choose to poke at then good for me and if it makes me happy, well I'll assume I'm doing ok. You see the sins of the other monkeys aren't my sins. The flaws of the other monkeys aren't my flaws... if I choose to involve myself, then I shall and if not... well who are you to say that personal happiness is somehow less of a life?

I can agree on most of that, and i simply thought of your approach kind of wrong. Even if we agree that bigotry is bad, you can't just trample in someones life trying to make him happy or healthy in the way the words exist in your BiP.
If I understood you correctly, you want to HELP, meaning, to bring more positivity in someones life. If thats true, see above.
If you simply want to change people its fine, but you should keepp in mind that you might destroy their lifes if you take away their bigotry.

Best example are Goths. No Goth would appreciate it if you dance into their life trying to make them "happy". Although "happy" is for most people very positiv.

Yes you want to help them, but did you ever think if they WANT your help?
All your writing sounds to me as if you trample in the lifes of other person and try to teach them "wrong" and "right" (or at least what you think is wrong or right).
Bigotry or most mental "diseases" do not actually harm the person (in most cases) so why help them, if they dont ASK for it?
If they are happy with their BiP leave them alone.

You seem to be happy with yours.



kind of yes.

as long as i can see the bars im happy. Simply because if i can see the bars i know where to work on.

And of course, i need a girl with cat ears and a tail, maybe some claws too.

gone through it and its not that good.

First paragraph is quite good, i think our world is definitly build and limited by our language, which is a vast collection of metaphors. Also i think language is one of the main influences to how we experence things.

You can't learn about a society without learning the language.

I dont know in which BiP thread it came up, about language and metaphors.

It seemed to be a quite good artice, though, i didn't read it through yet.
