Around The World With A Beach Ball

Man runs about his garden demonstrating ninja sword skills

I'd be more impressed with his mad skills, If I wasnt fairly certain A. I could do it myself, B. your average 8 yr old playing Ninja Turtles in the yard could do it and C.The idea of him walking the trails of suburban America with a sword in case he encounters "his enemy" wasn't so disturbing! lol

Not my business I know, but ya know me, Im gonna say it anyhow sooo here it goes If changed, like this, its like your speaking in someone elses voice, this is not your voice... It may not be "correct" it is however you, your manner of speaking/communicating in writing. To me its like a vocalist using one of those stupid auto-tune things to change their voice, or syncing to another singers sound. Do not change what there is nothing wrong with, when your lips move, when your fingers touch a keyboard or a pen and paper, THAT is the only voice that should come out, Yours..

Here you go, you owe me a pot brownie. It's still a little foreboding. I still think you could pare this down quite a bit. When is the deadline for this comment?

NetRunner,
I'll take "I didn't mean to offend you" as an apology for calling schmawy, rasch and myself passive aggressive cowards who dare not say something to your face. You really don't understand, do you? sighs I say this with all sincerity and in the most human way.
What was between you and choggie was only between you and choggie.
Same as with kronos and others. It is not only unfair to lump schmawy, rasch and I into that polemic, but also dishonest. You have even stated, yourself, that we don't have issues with each other - well at least i know i didn't until you called me a pussy - yet you continue to miss the point; a point i grow weary of having to make over and over and over and over and over and over and over due to your prejudices concerning choggie.
I TOTALLY get he was a cock to you and others. I am not dismissing that, nor am I condoning choggie's actions in that regard. I never have, and neither has schmawy or rasch (as far as I know). What you failed to realize in my multitude of posts, is the truth of what I was speaking and that it had only a fraction to do with choggie. Maybe you don't think I am smart enough to make these observations? Maybe the mere mention of the word "choggie" blinds you to them because of your adversarial past with him. I do not know Netrunner, but that is your path to walk. What i DO know, is that what I was trying to say to everyone -which apparently wasn't clear enough based on the responses- is that there is a danger in like-mindedness.
Now we could talk for days about the intricacies of choggie, good and ill, but we are beyond that now. The thing that choggie fought for, though misguided and rudely most of the time, was, and is STILL, a noble thing to fight for.
I see so many people on this site berate (myself included) fundamentalist Christians...
Why? Why do we berate them? Is it ONLY because they seem so close minded? Or that they refuse to recognize facts which may disagree with their dogma? Well of course!.... or at least partially, but the real danger with a fundamentalist is the STAGNATION. The stagnation of mind and spirit. It is death. A very slow and drawn out death.
Would you like to now one of my favorite tactics? (which of course now I am going to have to change since I am posting it here.) I will put out an opposing argument - not because I actually believe that argument, because many times i don't. No..the reason I do that is force someone to challenge my argument, and in doing so, having to defend their own. It also forces them to THINK about how they came to that conclusion, and, in turn, reveals their own thought processes. If they didn't come up with the argument in the first place, then I can easily dismantle it because knowing WHAT means little without the WHY. I vote for every one of blankfists libertarian videos. Does this mean I am libertarian?
No. But, because the sift has become a place where votes are more for "agreement" than for quality or value, many times an unpopular political video needs to be heard, even if I disagree with it. I give away votes like beads to busty co-eds at Mardi Gras. Does this mean I "agree" with every video's content?
Hell. Fucking. No.
There is nothing more satisfying than poppin a vid with 9 votes, or helping a new sifter get a star, or doing a pq dive and finding a gem I can promote; or having a heated argument over something I care about with people I respect. These are good things. Things that make this place special.
You felt that choggie tried to silence you, and that had to have been a crappy feeling, and one that would have pissed me off too. Now imagine being new here and posting a video that gets laughed at and mocked with snide remarks. You are new, and you thought people would love your new christian rock video. I have often seen people shunned and berated for posting things that others either disagree or find laughable, and all it takes is the ONE comment..just one to get the ball rolling and then it's like, "hey whatever happened to so and so?" Am I accusing you of this? No, I've not seen you behave in that manner, but others do. Who are we to judge the value of another's passions, joys or interests as being worthy or unworthy? We should be voting on quality, not to ostracize.
I hope I have made myself clear. If i haven't? Well then kiss my rebel minister ass, cuz I is done with this topic, bitchez.
We cool NetRunner?
Go in peace brother.
Namaste.

Wow, so thats why he's just been so unsuccessful... While I agree, doesn't necessarily belong in your ipod or office speaker drivel, or God forbid, be hummed along to (and please dont try) its meant to be watched, heard and experienced... and therein lies the awesome factor

>> ^handmethekeysyou:

30 years in the music business and this guy still doesn't understand how to write a song. You know what I don't want to hear, 4 minutes of shredding. I will never hum this in the office. I will never be riding the subway and want to take out my ipod and listen to this nonsense. Just a snoozefest from beginning to end.
