TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Sorry!

You aren't supposed to eat them.


I think it's cool. This is similar to still life and portraits of arms and armor and personages wearing and bearing them.

Also, I find some fire arms to be aesthetically pleasing, but that is personal taste.

I got that "WHA... I Don't Even?" sense too.

Then I realized I like the unnerving juxtapositions, but I don't consider these pieces glorifying the objects or promoting war.

In other words, I like it because it's very well done art that makes me feel uncomfortable about it (in a way that makes me think).

I like a couple, and I think a couple are kinda dumb looking. I was not particularly struck by them either positively or negatively.

EHAUEHEAU the joys of foreing language: making puns without realizing it.

But what i meant by bad taste is that i think it implicitly promotes guns as something good with the logic of "pretty=good".

I figured.

I don't personally view guns as inherently being good or bad, but at the same I don't think that something that is inherently warlike should be depicted as bad or wrong. And I enjoy how well made TOOLS of any kind look.

Yeah, we get your meaning. Coyote's just being an ass.  :lol:

To say that a piece of art is in bad taste means exactly what you meant. That it is somehow offensive to your sensibilities. In this case, promoting firearms.

However, I disagree with you, because I don't see that message, but I can fully understand that it could be taken that way.

great juxtaposition


Still life paintings are always so serene
the guns add a rather distinct tone to them which clashes with your expectations

delicious
