I was unsure if I should put this here or in Sermons & Rants, I don't think it's very ranty so I'll let it stand as a possible contribution to BIP.

Over all it's OK, though it may need some revising, thoughts are most welcome.

Would you like to play a game?

Life is not a game, life is about the playing of games.

'To that end, POEE proposes the countergame of NONSENSE AS SALVATION. Salvation from an ugly and barbarous existence that is the result of taking order so seriously and so seriously fearing contrary orders and disorder, that GAMES are taken as more important than LIFE; rather than taking LIFE AS THE ART OF PLAYING GAMES.'
-The Principia Discordia

Once a person reaches a state of enlightenment to realize this they can then look back upon all the games they have been playing for their entire lives.  Games they have played alone, with friends, with strangers, with authority figures, with whoever happened to be about at the time.

Recognizing that life itself is about playing games and not actually the game itself is a release akin to a spiritual orgasm.  But it is not quite a spiritual orgasm.

The spiritual orgasm comes when you finally realize that all the rules to these games you have been playing with your life are not (or at least very rarely) written by the universe (or powers that be if you want there to be powers that be) they are written by people.  People who really aren't all that different from you.  In fact you are one of those people who makes the rules to the games you play.

'Other kids' games are all such a bore!
They've gotta have rules and they gotta keep score!
Calvinball is better by far!
It's never the same! It's always bizarre!
You don't need a team or a referee!
You know that it's great, 'cause it's named after me!'
-Calvin on Calvinball

Once you realize that you can make rules, break rules, revise rules, and ignore rules as you see fit you are one big step closer to freedom, true honest to Goddess freedom, the kind that doesn't need to be listed on a piece of paper to ensure that some megalomaniacal asshole tries and take it away from you because it's the only way he can get an erection.

So, turn off the computer, or put down whatever it is you are reading this in and go out and play a game.  But don't let the rules get in the way of enjoying it.

plager?

If you mean plagiarized then to my knowledge it is not.

If in fact I towed a line similar to something that has been written before then I would be interested in seeing the original and gladly retract what I had to say if it turns out to be too close to the original for my comfort or if the original says what I was trying to in the above better then I did.

If you did manage to accidently duplicate the original that would prove an odd segment of reality. The typing monkey stuff.

Then go fuck yourself.  You accuse someone of plagiarism, you'd better be able to back it up.

You festering shithead.  Kill yourself.

Reversal?  You were the fucking prick that accused the OP of plagiarism knowing full well you were talking out of your arse.

Eat shit and die.

"Breathe".

No, you just lie through your teeth in some bizarre attempt to prey on other Discordians (by trashing their threads, making fucked up accusations with no basis in reality, etc)  Why?  Apparently you are some form of mental case.  Sociopath, most likely.

Please drink Drano, you psychotic fuckstain.

Thanks.

i've run through the grammar nazi schtick too, even when it was only typos and spelling errors.

this reminds me of newborn puppies that don't have the instinct to poop.

you have to wipe their ass with a warm cloth.

it's okay if i'm that cloth.
