The only patriotics any more are the radicals. Or, at least that's what they would like you to think. If you don't support President Bush, then you're not patriotic. If you don't believe in the so-called American Ideals(TM), then you're not patriotic. And, of course, if you're not patriotic, then you're not a Real American(TM).
America and this board have alot in common. We are a melting pot of many different belief structures, and cultures, and above all people. Of course, we're a small enough group that we can manage with minimal effort. And, we're an intelligent enough group that we can each manage ourselves. Sure, we get the occasional "i R 4 133t DiCoRdIaN u R P0sErzzz!" But, we're smart enough to ignore it. We're made up of a group of people that is mature enough to recognize differences, and handle them. America is not.
We constantly mock the people that say "You are not real Discordians because I am chaos and you are not!" Which, is neither here nor they. These people spur us to greater hieghts, trying to get away from them. They are messangers of Eris trying to show us a mirror of ourselves, so that we can look and laugh. We don't always pay attention, but that's why she has to kick us in the shorts from time to time.
Real Americans(TM) want everyone to believe that they are the true holders of the American Spirit (whatever that is, I'm sure even the spouters of such drivel have no idea). The Real Americans(TM) want everyone to believe in *ahem* good Christian values, like bigotry, violence, and ignorance. They come in the guise of Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and all the other political parties. They want to form the country into what they want, rather then allowing people to live their fucking lives. Everyone has an agenda. Everyone is out to get you. Even me. Especially me.
It is natural to feel Patriotism, but I do not feel that the syndicated piles of bullshit thrown in our face by everyone from Bush to O'Reily to Anne Culter to Billy Graham to Jessy Jackson is worth anything more then fertilizer. This is not patriotism, it is emotional manipulation. It is there only to gain control. "If we can't have everyone on Ritalin, then we shall make them certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are correct, and any questions asked are to be subdued immediately. We are their opinion, they cannot exist without depending on us," is the line of every Politician. Poltics requires that one believe that statement. That is the inevitablity of 1984 and Brave New World.
Patriotism is natural. If the group in which one belongs prospers, then the individuals prosper. It is a natural economic tendancy in which we all engage, it's hardwired into us. You can call them value judgements, or you can call them survival judgements, or whatever word you'd like to substitute. Of course, for anyone to prosper, then someone, somewhere has to suffer. But, the Politicians won't remind you of that. Stalin, afterall, was right. "One death is a trajedy, one million deaths in a statistic."
We are at a point wherein our natural tendancies are in conflict. We see all around us the danger of countinueing headlong done this path that we have been pointing down for a long time. I'd like to blame the Shrubery, but if Aldous Huxley could see it so long ago, we can't give him all the credit. We can merely credit him with pushing it harder down that path. Clinton was a delicate lull, and if we'd been presented with a good strong choice for President (fat chance of that ever happening again), we may have had a chance to tip the scales back for a time. We see the danger here, but at the same time we are caught in the net. Sink or swim.
But, Eris is telling me it's time to be done now. She's left the building, off for an Elvis convention (she's going to be a fat Elvis because it is deliciously fun). She does have one last thing to say - If the ship's sinking you might as well a whole lotta fun before it goes.
Patriotism isn't a problem. It's carrying it too far that is the problem. Nationalism is the problem. As human beings we are naturally inclined to identify with a group. At worst, we identify we a horribly small group -- say, a gang, or our 'race' -- and react violently to everything else. At the very best, we can extend this identification to the whole of life, not just humanity. Although humanity is a good stepping stone.
I would also put it forward for consideration that this board and America have far much more common than maybe you intended to show. Or maybe I just need to look a bit more deeply at one particular sentance and the meaning you are attempting to use it towards. I would say that this board is much like America -- there are some of us who are mature adults who are able to ignore that which we do not wish to see and do not violently react to everything we dislike. But, much like America, there are people who do just the opposite. However, like America, I do have hope. Tyrants are always overthrown, and the old guards of hatred and intolerance always fall.
Having been raised in two countries, and being of dual nationality myself, I have always found patriotism to be an odd thing. Countries are made, by the process of history. Your birth in any locale is chance. Hell, until the Peace of Westphalia, nationalism didnt realy exist at all, in Europe at least. Its part of social cohesion, an ideal of unity, and so ultimately of social control.
That said, I view a patriot as someone who identifies with the core values of their nation. This generally means the betterment of their own people, freedom, liberty, justice and all those other nice things valued by the majority of humanity. This also means disagreeing when your country is wrong, or runs contary to said core values.
Being a dittohead is not patriotic. Blindly parrotting the leaderships current line (subject to change due to elections or circumstance) is not patriotism. That's blind obedience. Such ideas of "patriotism" should have died half a century ago.
Then again, what do I know? As far as I am concerned, borders are errected to be crossed and I have more alleigance to my ideals than my passport. Countries live and die, new ones appear all the time. Take someon born in 1930 and compare world maps throughout their life to the present. Constant change. I'm too much of a historian to put faith in any territory.
Personally, it's very easy for me to be patriotic, because I don't have a homeland: more correctly, the land to which I claim allegiance to does not exist as a physical place.
But it's true. Dittoheads and those who blindly support someone, have no place in the Democratic process. They, and other cow-herd mentality individuals, are the reason democracy sucks, and in practice is impractical. Which is probably why the United States is a Socialist Representative Republic.

Quote from: Great Teacher LargoDittoheads and those who blindly support someone, have no place in the Democratic process.
But we weren't talking about Democracy, we were talking about Patriotism.
And it often seems that Patriotism almost always requires a bit of non-thinking, or blind support.
Advocating Democracy, on the other hand, seems to take a lot of hard work. I would venture to say that being pro democracy requires advocating for people you disagree with. Much like the ACLU and the KKK.

Democracy is not now, nor has it ever been, anymore real than the thought of a Unicorn.
The Question is not wether or not the thought of a unicorn is Real, but wether or not it has any bearing outside the imagination. Democracy is merely the Chrasmatic putting on a sideshow while The ugly ducklings hatch Dastardly deeds, that have as much to do with Peace and Justice, as Industrialism has with environmentalism, and in Equal aspects.
There is no problem with patriotism, only with those who question and do not act. None who stand here are innocent, and all of you Windbags with Cajones the size of peas. Especially those among you talk about doing things. When you finally Do do something, i am sure we will all hear about it on the news. If it is worthwhile.

You really should get that fluid drained out of your eye, as I think it's putting pressure on your optic nerve which is affecting your brain.
Firstly, in re: Unicorns, Anything that Cannot Be Imagined Does Not Exist. Anything that Can Be Imagined Does Exist. Thus, it follows that Unicorns exist.
And there is a problem with Patriotism. There is a problem with any narrow sense of group belonging. While all humans are disposed towards group identification, due to nature, via nurture we can change the scope of the identification. Identifying solely with a country (which is a legal fiction that anyone with a real glimpse as to what is going on does not care for) tends to breed a 'Just Screw Them' attitude towards other people.
One should devote one's self to a set of ideals, not to an earthly manefestation of those ideals (because, like with everything else mortal, things change.) Devotion to Liberty, Justice, Equality, these things will always be the same, no matter what group happens to be running the country at the time.
Also, Democracy is a very real thing. It's called 'Mob Rule.'
The United States is not, nor has it ever been, a Democracy. A Democracy is 51 people saying we will wear red shirts, and the other 49 pointing out that Red Shirts always die first, and then the 51 people kill the other 49 and say, "Now who's wearing red shirts?"
The from of Government that the United States is classified as is a Representative Republic, and it has Socialist Leanings. I recall one debate with a man who was raililng against Socialism, and I pointed out that State-Run Police, Fire, and Emergency Services are socialist practicies. I asked him if he was looking forward to Social Security, and pointed out that the Social in Social Security is the same as the Social in Socialist.
The Country is not a Democracy.
Representative Republic. Thank youi.

You may wish to reread what I wrote, and perhaps reconsider your answer, since I was not debating the existence of unicorns, nor the thoughts thereof, I was debating the Effectuality they had upon their environemnt, Outside the manifestation of the mind.
The rest of your reply is incongruent with any sort of reality. "Social is the same word in socialist" ...?????? Does this mean that a Socialite is actually a Communist of some sort? Or that Democrats support Democracy more than Republicans?
Of course it does. Red is equivalent to Blue.
You're doing that thing where you willfully (or maybe not -- I could be not explaining myself correct because, duh, language isn't perfect for communicating ideas, or more likely, you're a stupid troll ) misconstrue what I say. And as to your statement that I misinterpereted what you said, I would respond with, "Learn to express yourself better, 'cause them's the bumps."

That Grandparent is dead at the moment, and he's said that I was actually the thing he loved most in the world, on many, many occasions, in public, which was a rare display of emotion for him.
The other male grandparent is also dead, and he was a spy who happened to (possibly) be the last Baron von Kleist.
So, if you have no arguements to make in the manner of a rational adult, I think I'll go back to thinking of fun things to do, 67.167.219.251.

And I said I have not called the authorities. However, any defacement of my site will result in the shit hitting the fan, and you ass will be in the can. That said, I'm not taking this off the board until you give me a reason to. And starting with the end of this post, I'm just gonna ignore you.
Have a nice life.
Funny, one minute before you posted this you sent me an overly long PM telling me a bunch of crap that is none of my business, then telling me to butt out. I have no idea what the point of that was.
I do not correspond with pedophiles, sorry, kid. If you have anything to say to me, say it on the forum, I do not want any private anything with you. I have tolerated you up to this point because there are several people whom I care about that grew weary of the turmoil. Apparently you mistook that for me liking you in some way. Let me make this clear, the dogshit I scrape off the bottome of my boots has more valuable lifeforms than you in it. You wore out your welcome a long time ago. Go find someone else to beat you up. We have better things to do.

Quote from: Eldora, Oracle of AlchemyQuote from: Great Teacher LargoQuote from: The Good Reverend RogerQuote from: Great Teacher LargoThe point is that he is taking a beef on this board off of it to my own personal website. I haven't called the authorities on him, and don't plan to, unless he does something even stupider. Such as downing my website.
Called the authorities for saying that a post sucked? :lol:
Go right ahead. I think the federal bureau of babywipes might be the agency you need.
You tried to post my IP address, which you will find to be a violation of the privacy portion of your blog's TOS.

Quote from: Great Teacher LargoYou're doing that thing where you willfully (or maybe not -- I could be not explaining myself correct because, duh, language isn't perfect for communicating ideas, or more likely, you're a stupid troll ) misconstrue what I say. And as to your statement that I misinterpereted what you said, I would respond with, "Learn to express yourself better, 'cause them's the bumps."
Also, that avatar of yours is a picture of one of those diseases where by the eye fills up with milky fluid, right?
I am a troll now? For what reason? Because for some reason You have decided to reply to my post not with reasonable discourse but with inconsequential and unrelated tomfoolery? I am not sure what your troll is, But not only am I very much not stupid, tho I was very much tempted to call you as such after your post previous.
However whatever this other nonsense is, apart from the "discussion", If this Great Teacher Largo fellow is here insulting Members of these Esteemed fora, then How could he complain to be Insulted on his own fora? I thought it was some kind of world wide web fashion to get hate mail.

If you're going to try to sound like you know something via use of latin, please get it correct.
You piss us off when you don't.
You guys are all managing to sound like complete and total assbags right now. perhaps Eric is right and everybody should just ignore everybody else and not bother the rest of the board with your inane arguments and insult-fests?
this goes for you too Eric, as you're just as guilty as everyone else that's posting in this thread right now.
some of you should be a little ashamed of yourselves for even bothering to stoop to this. Don't you have anything better to do? and if you don't, shouldn't you log off and go for a walk or something? It's just the fucking INTERNET, for fuck's sake.

Meh. He posted something about the "cool people leaving" after she posted.
Point is, he hasn't got a lot of moral authority on this particular subject.

Nope, as near as I can tell, Turd's latest schtick is to complain that no one good posts here anymore, but at the same time he takes Eric's side and aini's side every time anyone defends themselves against those two. Doesn't make sense to me either :?

I save my good writing for the other venue, these days.
As for Turd, well, everybody gots to make their own choices, you know? If he wants to side with them via pissing all over you, Donk, a few other people, and myself, well, I won't lose any sleep over it. Hell, at least he sort of included Eric in his screed.
As he says, it's just a forum. If he wants to act this way, he is perfectly within his rights to do so.

show me where I ever said that?
and I'm not taking Eric's side, or did you completely fail to read my original post regarding the subject in this thread?
for that matter, I've not to my knowledge ever taken aini's side in a disagreement, other than to say I liked her and had no beef with her everytime someone else seemed to
expect me to side with them against her.
please double-check your sources before you put words in my mouth I never said.

I was not aware I was writing in Latin. I seemed to have missed that class. I'm not sure who the We would be, I'm rather new here, however one fo the thigns I foudn highly amusing and noteworthy in this Principia Dsicordia of yours, was that part that wen something like, "speak for yourself and those who like what you say." I am quite certain I bungled it up somehow, but I'm sure one of you fine Discordians will know what I am writing about there.
In as an aside from that, if and when You are ready to discuss where we left off the discourse at hand, I am game. though at this point I severely doubt you are up to it, since your replies to my posts henceforth have, so far, been rather poor attacks on my Person. Do not fret that you have damaged my Ego however, for I am a rather Bohemian Industrialist that spends his idle hours playing with the poor and downtrodden in schemes reminiscent of 1983's Trading Places, and drinking large sums of Alcohol.

The 'We' he is speaking of are his multiple personalities...Most of the posters on this board consider him a fuck-tard. BTW, is you have any younger sisters, keep them away from that jack-ass
Jihad on Eric/ GTL.....
Fuck the bullshit!
I will NOT stick my cock in bullshit, thats just nasty.
1. I was the one who said cool people leave when Aini posts.
but to be fair, i was in a bitchy mood at the time.
2. Arcane, I don't know if you mean to sound/write this way, but most of your posts soun/read as kinda pompous. Just saying.
3. I have a beef with Zurtok. I'm not sure why, but I hate him with all my heart. Hate, hate, hate; a rage akin to madness.
[Sting in Dune]
I WILL KILL HIM!

4. Kung: forget the petty bickering, and post something cool. Or Write about The City (Cf: Literate Chaotic).
5. Please note the absence of Cookies and Pie in this post... Damn.
1 You are not the only one to have noticed that, there is some truth to it. Some people do leave, or at least just lurk, when she shows up.
3 I think Zurtok is the coolest hippie on this board, but then, I have a fondness for hippies :D

waht's incredibly fuckin funny abotu that, is that arcane synonym is me. yeah i anonomously called eric on his intelectual superiority from a position of weakness an dpwnede his fuckin dumb cunt ass into next week.
which brings me to a very valid point, on this subject of patriotism and whatnot, well vaguely related anyway. peopel say in america intelegience is frowned upon, and yeah it kinda is, and do you know why mroe than anything? it's because of people like eric, who talk bit shit liek they knwo shit, liek they're smart, rub it into people's faces that they're smarter than them, but when it comes to pay the bills, the "i'm so much smarter than you" has written a cheque he can't cash. no one who is truly intelegient flounces it so. and not because he is discriminated against, but because it is stupid to do so.
Prick, that is far from being intelligence. That is pretending to be intelligent. And, there are certainly times when informing people that you are more intelligent then them gives you power, but thats only when you have the actual knowledge in order to back it up. Picking a fight with 500lbs. Bubba in the bar to prove you "know kungfu" won't get you anywhere except in the ER with every bone in your body broken.
