and what about those who truly need some help?
I didnt see the arresting people in bars thing...did I miss something?
I finally realized that this was all bullshit when I went for a physical a few years back and left with a "sample" of an SSRI
from a GP.
bullshit

If the purpose of spin is to move what they are trying to do make seem another way I now think that it has moved full cirlce and it is to make seem what they are doing is the opposite of the spin so that the terminology of spin is... exactly the opposite of what is happening.
Think about it - if they say this and do exactly the opposite what does this mean about stated christianity and the actual functions of freedom and democracy
Keep paying for those camps

Behaviorally normalizing society with prescribed medications, immobilizing them by making travel unaffordable to all but the elite, compiling phone records and purchases, suspicious elections, are creating a disturbing atmosphere in this country. I’m not a conspiracy nut or more paranoid than the average person in America who tries to stay informed about current events but what is happening in this country doesn’t feel like a simple series of random events. Is it that the overall character of the average citizen in the US, our national character, has become so bereft of virtue that we genuinely don’t care? Do our liberties mean anything to us anymore?
If that is the case than the “War on Terrorism” was lost upon its declaration. They got what they wanted. With only a few planes terrorists destroyed America by destroying that very thing that we chose to define our country, that thing that we touted as being the very foundation of America: liberty. The pursuit of happiness has become the pursuit of better medications.
Fuck all, I’m full of shit.

No I think society is loosing it's voice, demonstrators are agitators and laws (temporary or permanent) pop up everywhere to limit freedoms. Certainly the plethora of new media (blogs, forums, email etc) act to dilute our free speech where everything (including the spun rhetoric of the politico's) becomes background noise for a speechless society, who can be the hero? why would they not sell it up for the large buck?
Then society changes?, Can you measure a society under such change, is there a precedent? Such massive amounts of communication, accelerating technological advance, effects of globalisation, our old friend intergovernmental conference, the increasingly understood masses (did they know less yesterday, have we changed much since then?) and the increasingly public merging of corp and nation.
SO, you go to the disco and it was great, you tell your firends, within weeks all your friends go there..., then mobile phones come and you go to the disco and it is great and you call your mates and tonight IS the night.
I have no problem here, I am conflicted between classics and fashion

Message 27/36 02-Jun-06 @ 09:01 PM - RE: Arresting people in bars for being drunk
I believe that also, however, at least in the past the illusion was actively maintained by the government. Now it seems that the government has become so brazen as to actively and overtly mount a campaign to reduce civil liberties with no apology worth believing nor any concern as to whether we believe it or not. It's as if they have realized that the citizens don't care so they may as well take advantage of the opportunity. One day everyone may wake up and they will see that their world has changed beyond their ability to influence it.
Cheddar I see your point too, we are all entertaining ourselves to death and it is a lot of fun, so much easier. There will come a time though when the rest of the world will begin to see us as our own government has come to. The world will look upon the US people, not the government, and resolve that we cannot control our government and so not only must our government cease to exist but so must the governed. If we don't wake up soon, they will have a valid reason for their belief and subsequent action.
When we have no allies remaining we will not be powerful enough to win a multi-lateral global attack on US soil. We can barely keep up with our military "commitments" now. The world sees our behavior modeling that of our government. We lament about how we don't have a voice and elections don't work while other newer democracies have a voter turn out that should shame us. We lament about how we can't control our government while other citizens in other countries who have lost control of their governments fight to their restoration. Increasingly we are seen to be lazy and apathetic toward our officials' obvious abuses of power. The rest of the world is watching and if we don't take real verifiable actions to turn things around, the rest of the world - all of it - will take the matter into their own hands. If we can't find our way to action in a peaceful democracy how will we find our way to action in a war zone? We will lose. Everything.
If you don't know how to take care a nice thing like the US someone out there will make it so you can't have nice things anymore.
FYI
It's good to keep coming back here; not nearly as much as I used to, granted; and see that it still inspres the kind of discussion I grew to love about DT. I may actually have some some music to post soon. Whoo whoo!
Message 28/36 02-Jun-06 @ 09:47 PM - RE: Arresting people in bars for being drunk
actualy, some organisation did a poll recently about what people want to feel happy in life. Plenty of stuff came out, one of which was the removal of aspirational advertising & the re-nationalising of the transport system
Society is conditioned by TV and other advertising brainwashing (which is all it is) to totaly value themselves based on possessions they aquire, which is weird, and of course studio tech people are one of the worst for this with their endless "Is the FUK-U78001 Pro quality?" squawking, or their "Ha ha ha, I don't own behringer gear, ergo I am superior and a serious musician" rubbish. (cue endless self congratulatory back-slapping & male 'my knobs bigger'n your knob' type bonding)
people can't think for themselves tho, if they go off and go all 'alternative' they usualy just buy into another alt' dogma and go round spouting that instead... it's hard not to tho admittedly, but go to speakers corner in London and it's just people trotting out some stuff they've aligned themselves to.
yeah, the US economy is utterly & totaly fucked, debt is MASSIVE, huge, humungous in fact.. I see the Chinese stock market had a boost yesterday - hey, what about the DAEWO head eh... 11 fuckin years man!!!! Ras!
anyways, back to BEST OF CRIBS......

The brain is an organ that operates due to chemical reaction. Much like a car, or a guitar string (to keep things relevant), or a potato. There are interpretations of definite, unquestionable scientic data to back-up this statement (I can personally attest to this as I have seen pictures of brain scans myself). Certain chemicals produce better quality people (such as Ghandi, Mother Therresa, Einstein, Newton, Florence Nightingale, Tony Blair, etc), whereas other chemicals produce faulty people like Ghengis Khan, Slobby Dan Milosoveridgeidish (sp?), Mugabe, Tony Blair, etc.
When your car/string/potato no longer functions properly, you throw it away and buy a new one, as any good consumer would. A Ford Model T is simply not as efficient as a modern Ferrari or Volvo, and old cars go rusty and stop working. A old guitar string loses its moisture and odour and doesn't look as shiny as a new string. An old potato developes those ugly tumescent growths and goes black, whereas the new Monsanto chemo-spud-u-like will reform itself overnight if left in the bread bin under light of a secret frequency. But, at the risk of being called a pinko-liberal, people cannot be replaced so easily (immigration restrictions, ageing process, etc). If our lot are to survive in these dark and troubling times of lack of deference and disobedience, we must become more efficient.
It's just a matter of discovering which chemicals do what. Imagine how happy you will all be when you can take a tablet/injection/enema to make you happy to work 7 days a weeks and be happy. No more lapses of concentration, no more time wasting (talking & laughing with colleagues, etc). Just a deep, satisfying happiness! Every tune you make will make everyone equally happy, and every tune anyone else makes will make you happy! No need for money. Your benefactor (or to use the old term, employer) will provide a place for you to sleep during shortages of am-phekin-awake (TM) and a place to consume your other pills. No need to shit either, any byproduct can be sweated out and recycled.
There is of course another solution to the Jonny Foreigner (JF) problem. Here in Staffordshire, England, in the heartland of our land of hope and glory, where folk have been Tory since the Norman invasion (damn those French - we haven't forgotten!), where fox hunting is a right of passage and corruption is institutionalised, here we have started to profit from, wait for it, arms dealings! Our County Council has invested £13.1 million in the world's 15 biggest arms companies. Derbyshire (the nearest other county to where I live) has invested £17.4 million. Nationally it's £723 million. Doesn't that fill you fellow brits with a warm glowing feeling? Now that's what I call sensible use of council tax. As a Staffs CC spokesperson said, '... the authority employed an investment manager who drew up a criteria for socially responsible investments '
I also, am full of shit.

On the Teev show Question time this week, a bunch of politicians and writers discussed marriage and civil rights. The well-fed Labour woman (the one with Portillo on a couch on another show, This Week I think it's called), who usually says reasonable stuff, stated that though she supported rights for gay couples, she didn't for heterosexual couples who chose not to marry. 'They can choose' she said. Soon it will be 'but you can have full rights as a citizen 'if you choose to support the government'. Michael Winner spoke the most sense, though even he dragged out the old male & female roles thing (he's old, a generational thing I suppose)
Marriage to me is a weird religious ritual. I think it's bizarre, and so does the missus. We don't want to offer vows to someone else's divinity/ies. Surely making vows in a place of worship whose dogma I don't subscribe to is being disrespectful to that religion? If other folk want to marry then that's fine by me. I'll even show up and celebrate with them if I'm invited. They have that right. As with all such things, it is good that they have that right. I may think they're insane or misguided - that's my right. But they still have the right to be insane and misguided.
For those who blab about civic marriages, what is that but a mockery of a decayed religious act? Contracts are for business. If you hire me to do something, you'll need to sign to say you'll pay. It is prudent not to trust you at your word. I am not in business with my partner. I love her. Of all the reasons she feels bound to me, I know that a tawdry contract is not one of them. She's here because it is where she wants to be now, not because she agreed to be here now one day 21 yrs ago.
So if I snuff it after this last glass, my 'estate' will go to our lovely gov (unless I make a will, comply comply). If I'm hospital-ill, she might not be allowed to visit me. Many car insurance companies don't recognise 'living together', classifying me as single (which I'm not) and charging more, whereas some couple married for a week get charged less, because married people have less accidents!!! Arse.
What discriminatory crap.
And familly security is bollocks. Divorce can be a quick and straightforward process these days. You can unvow whenever you like.
And why couldn't I correct the spelling mistakes in the last post?

agreed, it's a total crock imo if you don't subscribe to the faith
Mentioning Issac Newton, interestingly he used to keep a written record/log of all his wanks... lol, it's true; and apparently Ghandi's family and circle of freinds were all highly relieved when he finaly kicked the bucket cos he was a borish, dominating, self important old c*nt apparently who made everyones life around him a total fuckin misery.
Interestingly the church of englands main investement portfolio is in arms manufacturing companies, and the porn-shops area of soho is owned also by them.
anyone see that Panorama tonight about global warming, fuck!!.... I guess it's all over then
really frightening stuff, but par for the course for that lying scumbag Bush.

In fact his celibacy is mentioned several times. Is that information to support or reject the proposal? Do celibates, by definition, do that?
I've read that he was into all manner of seemingly ludicrous nonsense, as well as his brilliant laws etc.
Yet I can't shake an image...those poor, unfortunate giants!
