Rediscover Communication

To be charitable, Mr. Bush, were he the son of anyone other than 'George Herbert Walker Bush', of Midland, Texas, who got him a legacy admission to Yale, would be lucky to rise to middle management at Wal-Mart.

I'm tired of being expirimented on. I'm tired of people needing feedback, research data.

Reactions.

I'm tired of it. I want no one to see me. No one to know I exist. No one to come and survey my thoughts/feelings/facial expressions.

I want the telescreen out of my living room.

I want to feel human

"i saw the gap again today"

German Poll Results:

Which once again proves my theory: Germans love Dav-

wait.

Pushit

Slipping back into the gap again.
I'm alive when you're touching me,
Alive when you're shoving me down.

But i'd trade it all
For just a little bit of
Piece of mind.

So, now the world asks the question, "Do I buy robot insurance, or do I just buy lots of old people's medicine to give to the robots for their fuel so they don't attack me?"

THE CHOICE IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE!

Now you know... AND KNOWING IS 1/2 THE BATTLE!!!!!

The other 1/2 is lots of running, and pain, and it's filled with robots...

DAMN THOSE ROBOTS! DAMN THEM ALL THE HELL! or robot hell... or wherever robot souls go when they die... if they die... or just shutdown permanently...

Was Johnny Five really alive?

Elaborate Sentence Construction Facilitates Omission Of Word 'Boyfriend'
BAKERSFIELD, CA—Local Target cashier Lori Spelmann, 23, told coworker Marsha Kimball about her weekend Monday using a winding sentence to facilitate omission of the word "boyfriend." "I didn't get home until late because my friend who is the guy I've been hanging out with a lot for the last five or so weeks locked his keys in his car," Spelmann told Kimball in the Target breakroom. Other words and phrases Spelmann managed to avoid during the run-on sentence included "went on a date," "relationship," and "had sex."

so here is a thought... If humans are inherently selfish, would not the idea of selfishness by definition include oneself?
"You're in denial."
"I am NOT."
"See?"

does circular reasoning automatically make it false?

you know, I still think that TNG was the best of the Treks. And more than just because that is what I "grew up" with. critical evaluation bears this out even today.

I need to be stored in a cool dark place. My radiation burns are spreading. I now have blisters on top of blisters in little spots on the backs of my hands and all over my arms. My nose is going to fall off. It is like the phage.

24 days till I leave this place.

it is my opinion that human beings are selfish & shallow creatures.

Myself included

Today was keen, I drove, listened to music, ate some pocky, watched eXistenZ, watched some new homestarrunner.com content.

Homsar wants you to know a bit about himself

O Lord Most High, Creator of the Cosmos, Spinner of Galaxies, Soul of Electromagnetic Waves,
Inhaler and Exhaler of Inconceivable Volumes of Vacuum, Spitter of Fire and Rock,
Trifler with Millenia - what could we do for Thee that Thou couldst not do for Thyself one octillion times better?
Nothing. What could we do or say that could possibly interest Thee?
Nothing. Oh, Mankind, rejoice in the apathy of our Creator, for it makes us free and truthful and dignified at last.
No longer can a fool point to a ridiculous accident of good luck and say, "Somebody up there likes me."
And no longer can a tyrant say, "God wants this or that to happen,
and anybody who doesn't help this or that to happen is against God."
O Lord Most High, what a glorious weapon is Thy Apathy, for we have unsheathed it,
have thrust and slashed mightily with it,
and the claptrap that has so often enslaved us or driven us into the madhouse lies slain!
-The Reverend C. Horner Redwine
(Kurt Vonnegut)

I read one very similar- in my electromagnetics textbook, of all places:
There is a story abot four men named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got very angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, and Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when actually Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

I thought it was a humorous bit of truth. Can be applied to many different situations.
Electromagnetics is a fascinating study. There are so many things to learn...

The ship was sinking---and sinking fast. The captain told the passengers and crew, "We've got to get the lifeboats in the water right away."

But the crew said, "First we have to end capitalist oppression of the working class. Then we'll
take care of the lifeboats."

Then the women said, "First we want equal pay for equal work. The lifeboats can wait."
The racial minorities said, "First we need to end racial discrimination. Then seating in the lifeboats will be allotted fairly."

The captain said, "These are all important issues, but they won't matter a damn if we don't survive. We've got to lower the lifeboats right away!"

But the religionists said, "First we need to bring prayer back into the classroom. This is more important than lifeboats."

Then the pro-life contingent said, "First we must outlaw abortion. Fetuses have just as much right to be in those lifeboats as anyone else."

The right-to-choose contingent said, "First acknowledge our right to abortion, then we'll help with the lifeboats."

The socialists said, "First we must redistribute the wealth. Once that's done everyone will work equally hard at lowering the lifeboats."

The animal-rights activists said, "First we must end the use of animals in medical experiments. We can't let this be subordinated to lowering the lifeboats."

Finally the ship sank, and because none of the lifeboats had been lowered, everyone drowned.
The last thought of more than one of them was, "I never dreamed that solving humanity's problems would take so long---or that the ship would sink so SUDDENLY."

-Daniel Quinn
