Zappa

What a musician.

Do you like him? Do you find him contrived? Or what?

Re: Unpopular Opinions

I propose that the idiom be revised and reiterated as the following:
"What doesn't kill you or result in severe psychological trauma which may lead to in suicide, inadvertent death following unusual behaviour or a state exceeding in negativity the personal consequences of death makes you stronger."

Re: Unpopular Opinions

I don't believe in mental illness (unpopular opinion, btw), but agree that people shouldn't get special benefits for being fat. As I understood the video, they were going to cut regular benefits, like health and dental insurance, so that once again, the definition of equality becomes twisted to mean that the lives of the poor must be regimented, while the rich remain free to eat themselves to death if they desire. That is evil. The whole point of ideal of equality is that everyone ought to be free. I highly doubt the early socialists imagined a future where a tiny equal bit of artificial fiat currency would be rationed to each person like water in the desert in order to make poor people into healthy and productive slaves, so the well-off might enjoy constant leisure and the freedom to do as they will.
This is absolutely true, but I'd like to (tangentially) take issue with your first statement, having lived from being a small child with somebody with severe bipolar disorder (with somewhat measurable physiological symptoms) and having seen them on the verge of suicide. I'm not totally clear on what you mean by you "don't believe in mental illness". EDIT: Now I am having read your latest post, and am more in agreement with you. The mindset you describe is also why I don't believe in euthanasia.

Re: who would you cast for a live action shenmue?

Laurence Olivier would obviously be Ryo, Robert De Niro would be Fuku-san, Robert Shaw would be Tom, and Joe Pesci would, of course, be Lan Di.
And Claire Danes would be Ine-san.

Re: Things That Made You Genuinely Happy Today!

The problem is we've created a business of trying to make people feel inadequate enough that they have to spend money on a variety of products and take measures to change their appearance to be more in line with what the media bombards us with as the target look constantly. Yet, the girls you see on magazine covers don't even really exist themselves. They're all the products of photoshop and editing software. Living up to these false idols is an impossible carrot on the stick climb to buy and kill yourself into making yourself into something you're not.
And then they market songs, films, etc, which offer a saccharine, heavily romanticised view of love, which supposedly everyone must experience at some point unless they're fucking freaks, and must be totally inadequate if they don't "achieve" this , since the reason they don't have it must be because they're ugly/weird/whatever else, hence the "incentive" to buy such shitty, superficial aesthetic products.
It's really sick psychological manipulation, exemplified by shampoo adverts. I get hit with a brief but distinct bout of depression every time I see a teenage girl with false eyelashes, stiff hair, really fucking red lipstick (oftentimes, anyway) and god knows how many layers of foundation. I feel like there's very little semblance of a human being left, like I'm staring at specter, albeit one which is emotionally vulnerable.

And excuse me for being like 12 days late.

I finished an exam today. I don't even feel like I care how shit it went. It's just out of the way. That made me feel happy, or maybe more relieved.

Re: Things that pissed you off

At the shop, I bought one item and tried to manually hand it to the tiller. She still made me put it on the conveyor belt and wait for it before she'd scan it. I am absolutely convinced she was taking the piss out of me.

Re: Maggie Thatcher dies

if the Argentinians didn't attack the falklands her government wouldn't have gained the much needed popularity at the time
Actually, Thatcher just exploited the situation and played the patriotic card because she knew she was unpopular. Exemplified by the fact that she allowed that ship (the name of which currently escapes me) to be sunk, despite the fact that it was out of and sailing away from the radius that she threatened if any ships were detected within, they'd be fucked (paraphrased). It had more to do with her insidious nature than the behaviour of the Argentines.

Re: Maggie Thatcher dies

I'm sick to death of hearing about those with such insane degrees of self-entitlement. I read a story in the paper a few months back about some guy with a heart defect that refused a transplant because he didn't want to go back to work in the event of recovery and would prefer to laze about on benefits. What kind of person would choose a lazy lifestyle which would result in death over being healthy and living? This is the kind of world we live in nowadays. It's madness.
But that's the sensationalistic shit they push in the media. They take INDIVIDUAL CASES and use them to demonise benefits altogether, so as to try and justify cuts on welfare, like the recent bedroom tax, which means people who were poor in the first place will be even worse off. There is no denying that people exist who exploit the system, but these individual cases are not as common as the Government and the BBC or whatever would have you believe.
By the sounds of it unions really did have too much power, with their constant strikes, they basically had the country at ransom..
By the sounds of it? What do you know about it? I think under the circumstances, the strikes then were totally justified, and there need to be more perseverent strikes in the public sector today.

Re: Maggie Thatcher dies

Why are they poor though? No ambition! No drive! Stop moaning about how little money you have and go and make some. Don't rely on other people to fund your Jeremy Kyle watching sorry existences. These are the same people that moan about immigrants "terkin er jerbs" but when it boils down to it they just don't work as hard as immigrants do. It's their own fault for being lazy.
Now I believe you're deliberately just trying to rile me. Anybody who thinks that we're all on equal footing and that wealth/success is directly proportional to work put in is an imbecile or a liar.

Re: Maggie Thatcher dies

You don't get elected 3 times for doing a terrible job. Some people obviously loved her, and it must of been in the majority if she was kept in power for so long.
But you have to look at why people get elected. Most of the time it's not because you're actually doing a good job - it's because no-one's doing a good job, and the majority of voting plebs get a superficial understanding of policies, with no comprehension of any implications, and then vote for the "party of the moment", which is largely dictated by the media and larger corporations.

Re: Maggie Thatcher dies

I started to construct a counter-argument for that shitty post bit-by-bit, but I was overwhelmed by the futility of arguing against what is clearly an enormous verbal fart. Honestly, it's the most fetid thing I've read today, in many ways, and I just can't be bothered, since where do you even start?

RT's Youtube. Reports a lot of stuff you won't hear on BBC, ITV, etc, and definitely not Channel 5 (which I don't even think counts as news).
And Max Keiser. Based in London, and he always lays into Jamie Dimon.

Re: Happy Birthday Topic

Happy Birthday Feelers Rebo! I wish you'd post more man, your a top member of this forum, but you haven't posted much ever since that punk Beeds tried to son you over watching RT.
I actually occasionally still lurk (as this post demonstrates), but have been busy with getting educated, and so haven't used the internet recreationally quite as much as before. Obviously I'm vain enough to be stimulated back into a discussion by a post made re. my birthday.
