I liked how they introduced her, like "her mother died in an insane asylum thinking she was Queen Victoria" and my thought was, I like where I think this is going. I was not disappointed.

The Twentieth century was called "The American Century".

"The Post-American Century" is a term that both describes the century after, and the fact that America doesn't even PRETEND any more, to be the "free" country that it always billed itself as.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

the odd thing is that no one in a position to benifit from the post american way coined the phrase...

it's the secreters hiding in the shoadows, using play-on-words to signal
to eachother...

the first of the final phases is at hand..

welcome back. Hows the real world? (I really should try to visit it sometime)
"we are building a religion
we are making a brand
we're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
take a bite of this apple
mister corporate events
take a walk through the jungle
of cardboard shanties and tents
some people drink pepsi
some people drink coke
the wacky morning dj says democracy's a joke
he says now do you believe in the one big song
he is now accepting callers who would like to sing along"

I AM A COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING IDIOT!

This board can go cry a fucking river for all I care.  I'm dealing with issues and if people havent got it by now, fuck 'em.  Their only use is to soak up the bullets come the revolution.  Or counter revolution.  or when I finally snap.

AA, the world is a shitty place filled with tards who care not a whit beyond whats on TV and where their next meal is coming from.  They have a herd like mentality and tend to believe the last thing they were told.  Stay at Uni, thechance of finding someone without a self-induced frontal lobotomy may not be higher, but at least you arent working and there is more chance of getting laid.

To bad the talking primates on this planet don't realize that the world doesn't have to be so shitty.
I've been to countless world where the locals haven't fucked up their world.Virtual Paradises.Highly technological races who's tech is "Nature Friendly"
And being "Human" isn't as unique as you think.

I've seen worlds that are literally Hell.That the way they made it,so thats the way they want it.
Worlds totally polluted.Vast radioactive wastelands.Amazing some of the things sentient species do to their own homeworlds."

According to my sources in the Trans D-Probabilistic Science Division of the Church of Eris,there a 34% chance(at this moment,the percentage can rise or fall,depending on a myriad of factors,If it gets over 60% I'll let you all know it's time to get the hell out of this planet) of Mankind(By that I mean the Xtians and the Muslems) nuking you all to the Stone Age within 100 years.
Mal-2 understood it very well(he'was a Trans-D traveller after all.) when He wrote in the PD


Do Not Let THEM Immenentize the Eschaton

We erisians need to awaken as many cabbages as we can.Then maybe we can make this a better world
Or we don't and take what's coming to us like the bitches we are.
The choice is ours.
