Romeo & Juliet - Bob Schnieder

eric3579 says...

Well if I spell it out, if I get it out,
Will you hear me when I tell you about
What I have to say, before it gets too late?
It's not as easy as I said it'd be,
But there’s something right about you and me,
Something right about you and me.

Well you’re the color of a burning brook,
You’re the color of a sideways look from an undercover cop in a comic book
You’re the color of a storm in June,
You're the color of the moon.
You’re the color of the night, that’s right,
Color of a fight - you move me.
You’re the color of the colored part of The Wizard of Oz movie.

We're like Romeo and Juliet,
We're like 40 dogs, cigarettes,
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will.
And I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls to the sea:
We’ll be livin’ ever after, happily.

All the boys taking you for granted,
Tell you what they want with their eyes all slanted.
I don’t like the way they look at you,
I don’t like the way they talk to,
I don’t like the way they talk to you.
I wouldn’t let 'em talk to you like that.

Put 'em up high, reach for the ceiling.
Tell them that I'ma walk, damn it, I'm real,
And it ain't no crime, it's just dreams we’re stealing -
Anything to get more of this feeling

You take the high and I'll take the low,
We'll get there before you know.
We ain't got no time to waste,
We got too much life to taste.

We're like Romeo and Juliet,
And 40 dogs, cigarettes,
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will.
And I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls to the sea:
We’ll be livin’ ever after, happily.

Sometimes you remind me of a moonbeam,
On the ghost of a moonbeam out on the beach,
Down by the coast, slip into Manila,
Like the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Come out tonight, come out with me, baby.
We'll throw the careful into the crazy,
Turn the sky black into a sky blue,
Turn the close shave into a hoo-hoo.
What I say is true, make a fire, gotta burn a few,
Make a fire, gotta burn a few,
We can do what we want to do.

We're like Romeo and Juliet, 40 dogs, cigarettes,
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will.
I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls to the sea:
We’ll be livin’ ever after, happily.

Take the Political Compass Test (Philosophy Talk Post)

imstellar28 says...

If the question you were responding to, "how do you reconcile your support for invasive government with Gandhi's ahimsa, or total non-violence?" were on a test, what grade would you give your answer?

^Farhad2000:
My stance on interventionism (both hard and soft) is intellectually based as it has not been proven to have been applied in any conflict so far bar some UN peace keeping operations which forced conflicting parties to negotiate, something that has been said could have prevented the Rwandan genocide had the UN presented a large military preseence and excuted its mandate of nullifying combative arms and forced the application of the peace accords both sides agreed to before the presidents death, more on this can be read in L.Gen Romeo Dallire's "Shake Hands With The Devil" an account of his command of UN peacekeeping mission in Rwanda at the time. Instead we saw the international world sit back and watch a genocide of unimaginable proportions occur, both France and the US had forces it could have deployed.
I have stated that American intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan has been a disaster for this argument for the next 100 years. But its silly to question someones opinion on it, I think its an interesting proposition while at the same time acknowledging that it's most probably impossible to execute on a international scale without interfering on national sovereignty, as much as the Iraq war has created problems no one can really state that it would have been better to simply let Saddam stay in power and hope things get better for Iraqis by doing nothing.



If you take away ahimsa from Gandhi you are left with almost nothing - it was the most unique philosophical trait about him. If you disagree with ahimsa, why are you pretending that you and him are on similar wavelengths?

>> ^imstellar28:
So.....you're not going to respond to that question?


I see that I need to draw you a picture as always.

You stated yourself that this test is an imperfect measurement of a person's political stance since it asks a few narrow questions, I mentioned Gandhi because he happened to fall within the same area as my score. It doesn't automatically mean that our views are similar in nature uniformly across all issues.

My stance on interventionism (both hard and soft) is intellectually based as it has not been proven to have been applied in any conflict so far bar some UN peace keeping operations which forced conflicting parties to negotiate, something that has been said could have prevented the Rwandan genocide had the UN presented a large military preseence and excuted its mandate of nullifying combative arms and forced the application of the peace accords both sides agreed to before the presidents death, more on this can be read in L.Gen Romeo Dallire's "Shake Hands With The Devil" an account of his command of UN peacekeeping mission in Rwanda at the time.

Similarly I can point out that previously you have stated that all populations must abide to a certain rule set that you defined regardless of their own democratic or cultural based choices. How do you rationalize that with your belief that people should be allowed to decide things for themselves?

"Sexting": Kids + Cell Phones = Felony Charges

elysse says...

^ yep, welcome to the age of retardation. You may as well also charge an underage person with child pornography every time he/she gets in the shower.

There are numerous cases just like this one, although I recall there is something called a "Romeo and Juliet" law some states use to use that provided for couples who are underage not to be charged with child molestation, although that gets hairy once one partner turns 18. Sounds like Penn has no such provision.

Good day for Exxon, Child Rapists

>> ^nibiyabi:
"Speaking to my emotions I don't mind giving child rapists a long drop from a short rope, but I wonder if there could be ramifications of allowing the death penalty...like encouraging rapists to just kill their victims."
. . . or violating the Constitution, not to mention eventually executing some 19-year-old for having a 17-year-old girlfriend.


Taking it a bit far maybe? They are talking about the rape of children under 12 years, not some kid held back a grade who is still dating his high school sweetheart. Seems like a lot of places have "Romeo and Juliet" laws for that sort of thing. As far as the constitution, do you mean the cruel and unusual punishment thing? As in the punishment should fit the crime? One could argue that someone who rapes a 5 year old takes away their childhood and causes irreparable harm that can damage all future relationships...isn't that kind of cruel and unusual?

maybe call it just the "noir" channel? ...of which i am a fan.

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
Actually I was considering a "Dark" channel. By "Dark" I mean stuff that is moody, or film-noirish, or dark humor, or even non-fictional stuff that makes you feel cynical about the world (example).
In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
I'd love to see a Trippy Channel (vids to watch high) or a weird Channel (avant-garde, dark, dada and general strangeness).
