Maybe.

Reminds me of making text adventures with my dad when i was a kid. ahhh, this is comforting. omg those tape backups for the c64...

Cool. Coming out of a baptist family I get it, even if i was never that extreme -- westboro... i knew some families sort of like them though... home schooled on the belief that the Bible is the ultimate framework for governing. Not too far off from the us versus them. Same family that taught an anti-evolution class for our youth group. *shudder*

I became an indignant atheist not long after leaving religion. Now, I embrace Took me many a long night hating on religious people.

Until I had a long conversation with a friend who was a microbiologist, observing evolution on a daily basis, and maintaining a healthy Christian perspective. (Well, at the time it was... now he is sort of Phelping me. It's really hard for me still, to accept religious people, even when almost everyone I know is -- many of whom will always judge me for who I am.)

I mostly enjoy the diversity among my Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Atheist, Buddhist, and Hindu brothers and sisters. They just need to respect my beliefs and recognize that I am not recruiting them and they are not recruiting me. Atheists are the worst at this.

As long as there is seperation of church and state. That is an important concept in maintaining a diverse nation open to dialog like she suggests.

Also, opening dialog with people only works if they reply back hahaha -- most of the angry internet people i know post across a wide array of websites and don't really return for replies that often.

Gunga galunga, gunga gunga... lagunga.

Stage management can be FUN. This is going to be stock footage for film students. What to do or to avoid?

Nothing is ever simple. I'm just not properly explaining what I was saying -- Jon Stewart went off and did his public speaking, crowd organizing thing with this belief in something that he couldn't quite define. He lost his mojo, in a way, saw that he was naked, bereft of his staff. Any talking/figure head with a staff of writers or information feeders can be comparable to other leaders of a similar make up. Trump and Stewart are reality tv stars of a similar make up.

Dag suggested that the writers of the Daily Show are what created Jon Stewart as we know hom, and so I ran with the idea that he, like the figurehead and reality star, Donald Trump, are products of other people's opinions -- this, when left to their own devices, while successful entertainers, they realize the emperor's clothes are transparent and now they have to rely on their own smaller slice of knowledge. Not that Stewart is dumb, but Stewart without writers and correspondents, is a similar archetype to Trump. Stewart's writers and correspondents, including the man whose show he is on in this clip, are akin to the media that Donald Trump treats like his writing staff. But instead of leaving the Daily Show, Trump is leaving *most* of the media, revealing he is not as knowledgeable without his sources.

Anyway, I was following the logic as laid down by dag's logic for why Jon isn't as funny or put together. I also know that good leaders put themselves in other people's shoes before giving advice to other leaders. Stewart MUST do this because he is a decent figurehead, but Trump doesn't -- that's why the media questions him on what biographies he is reading; leaders are supposed to put themselves into their rivals AND heros shoes as a matter of critical self analysis -- so, Stewart is speaking to the media almost as if he is also putting himself in Trump's shoes and speaking about how his own writing staff and correspondent's left him and succeeded.

Stewart has a 4 year contract with HBO. He will have the structure and writing teams he needs. Trump should utilize the media, including books and newspapers, and follow the subtext Jon laid out here.

Certainly even Dream can see beyond the elementary.

Sessions looks like Henry Gibson -- Dr. Klopek from the Burbs. >D

Yeah, it isn't CHiPS -- it almost looks watchable. (Almost.)

Ah Mantis, the Celestial Madonna and mother to the Celestial Messiah <3

So what you're saying is that Stewart's insight into the inner workings of Trump's mind is because he himself was like Donald Trump in that he made you want to believe all his own bullshit, but when left to his own devices, fails?

And that his own advice to the media, to break away from the Donald (The Stewart), is mirrored in all of the success of the writers that created him -- who broke away from The Stewart?

Why? Because you hate humanbeings? That would be unpopular for sure, considering only humanbeings care about popularity. Unless you hate humans in comparison to your love for kittens -- that would be VERY popular.

Go on then, tell us your unpoopular opinion about popping out at parties. *sees through you -- or around you -- oh GOD it's a three-headed monkey comin' right for us. Shoot it!!*

I have been sort of half looking forward to viewing his portraits. He has done a hell of a lot of them by now and i believe the last i read about his book, it's all wounded soldiers from his wars(?) So it's like a penance. Meh, he's going to make a killing off his picture book sales. See? I look at both sides, not just awww da ol pwesident we wuv to waugh at. He's a cocksucker but he's an artist and promoting the arts. All art is propaganda.

The only tragic death is a death in ignorance. One of the only things that kept me from taking my own life at one point was that there was and still is so much personal ignorance to overcome. As long as I remain ignorant and capable of learning from it, may I live on -- when my brain ceases to learn from my mistakes, only then should I die -- so like 1000 human years? How about all consciousness merge into one instead?

Exactly -- or they become symbols of cold war oppression and are taken down as a political symbol. IIFFF this "Trump wall" gets finished, it will almost certainly be knocked down as a similar effigy to oppressive and ineffective bullshit in the not too distant future. I'm sure it will be considered unAmerican by ethnic nationals and a symbol of peace to EVERYONE ELSE in the entire world, including America.
