But who, in the end, are you lying to -- but an impassive machine? And why do you care what a machine thinks of you? What are little white lies in the dark? Why are you so adamant about something that is but a number? And why the hell do I want you on AIM? -------------------- desperance -- je me souviens arena -- et je me souviens de vous Posts: 2449 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |

Unless what I have been told is wrong, the only Word You Can't Say On TV German has begins with "fo", ends with "ze", and has a "t" in the middle. [There are always words that are offensive for some other reason, but none, I am told, has more sheer vulgar capacity than that one.] Generally, Americans are some of the most prudish people in the world, second to maybe Russians [and the latter springs from a cultural authoritarianism more than anything else]. I'm sure there's a reason for this, but I'm not sure what. -------------------- desperance -- je me souviens arena -- et je me souviens de vous Posts: 2449 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |

To double-post and keep from crowding too many ideas into one post: While free will does not have any direct impact on our actions, it certainly does have a more subtle impact. Tacticians who believe in fate, for example, tend not to try to learn from problems, as they believe that they are only tools of some higher power's will and that their ultimate victory or defeat rests in the hands of fate. Basically, fatalists make worse generals. See McClellan. -------------------- desperance -- je me souviens arena -- et je me souviens de vous Posts: 2449 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |

I find you using communism as an insult pretty stupid, David, and I imagine everyone else does too. The idea of such a welfare system is actually completely unconnected to communist ideology, which wouldn't have "taxes" at all, as there is no money in a purely communist system. Learn to read, fool. As for the one who had better than two brain cells to rub together when posting: By paying a flat amount of taxes, do you mean flat as in "pay the government 10,000 a year", "pay the government 5% of income a year", or "pay the government 5% + 1% for every 10,000 you make a year over this amount"? [The numbers here being only for purposes of demonstration, of course.] {For the record, I'm a relatively radical non-Marxist socialist.} [ Tuesday, May 06, 2003 16:53: Message edited by: el presidente ] -------------------- desperance -- je me souviens arena -- et je me souviens de vous Posts: 2449 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |

Actually, "zephyr tempest" is [despite your being an irrefutable rantallion about coming about it] a nifty and intellectual little oxymoron.

If you're not going to turn your nose up at something without violins in it, "Echoes" by Pink Floyd, which is epic in scale, and "Free Bird" by Lynard Skynard, which is not as long but certainly a lot more dramatic in sound. -------------------- desperance -- je me souviens arena -- et je me souviens de vous Posts: 2449 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |

It's clear your sarcasm-o-meter missed the title of this topic. I'm sorry, but it DID have to be said. And having said what it needed to, it shall now await its death by firearm.

I most likely have the most votes. I believe I've been at the effective maximum whenever there was one. This has been asked and answered. No one who's been here longer than two weeks considers karma anything important. And pointless polls make the baby Vogel cry.  See?

S'i' credesse che mia risposta fosse a persona che mai tornasse al mondo, questa fiamma staria sanza più scosse; ma però che già mai di questo fondo non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero, sanza tema d'infamia ti rispondo . . . It is June 27, 2003. I am Alexander Kyras. This is my confessional. If this ever comes to light, I will bury it and any evidence of it. If you found this by accident, you can consider yourself a member of a secret club that consists of only a select few of my closest friends. I was Chrome. The message I gave to TM was my own. My brother never registered at Spidweb. TM knows this. I enjoyed being a moderator. I hope to be a moderator again. God knows I tried under this name, but the road was long and hard. I quit when Thuryl left in a passion. This edit, and perhaps one other, is the last thing this account will ever do. I have a new account; it is now called General Custer. I create it to have a new slate, and knowing the general shift in power between my heyday and SW's current state, I give it about 3 months before I'm banned in one way or another. Drakey knows my secret, by necessity; Linda Strout also knows it, and doubtless will elect to tell everyone. Linda Strout is a fascist fuckwit, and would do anything to screw me over. Should you be a newbie who is reading this as Evidence A, know that I was once like you; should you be a respected veteran who is reading this as Evidence A, know that I was once like you; should you be an outcast who is to go next to the chopping block, know that I was once like you. I am a socialist, and only not a communist for my beliefs on human nature. I am a liberal, but I am in favor of the Yucca Mountain nuclear repository. I am a Christian and will be one until the day I die. Sir David is the one member of these boards I want to see unceremoniously kicked out. After him I would say all those stupid and trite who have decided to hate me or anyone else for no good reason. I liked RoR, and I liked Tharma, but neither in the way you're expecting. I liked them as people until I realized they were both assholes who looked down on anyone not exactly sharing their tastes. "Les Miserables" is an overdramatic, overwrought piece of shit. Look back always on how you were before you seek harsh action on someone; know that you may have been their twin yesterday, or may become it tomorrow. To those who believe in the grand vision of the Desperance network, don't let the bastards get you down. Don't let the fact that we've turned it into a sick self-parody get you down; don't let the administratory staff, composed of a good man who is a fickle asshole of a friend, a flighty and flamboyant man with his head up his ass, and a pair of explosive depressives get you down. And don't let anyone who decide that Desperance is dirt get you down, either. We outlived Polaris. We outlived VWM's forums. And we will, no doubt, outlive SW. Watch for Bush to be remembered in the same light as Reagan, Nixon, and Hitler. Sir David and all the biblical literalists need to be shot. He's a xenophobe, a bigot, and a self-martyring pissant; it says something about what kind of shit these boards have become that I've been banned for a week and he's never even been condemned for his shitheadedry. Sir Motrax needs to get his head out of his ass and realize that conservatives aren't a hunted minority. So does everyone who seriously says "Who is John Galt?" -- a phrase that, if uttered and not followed by "And who the hell cares?", should be grounds for summary execution -- and everyone who seriously links to Protestwarrior. In case you're lucky enough to be from a time where Protestwarrior makes you say "Huh?" and scratch your head in confusion, it is a website devoted to lampooning fundamentalist leftists and claiming they represent everyone who does not spend six hours of their day waving an American flag and the other eighteen bombing foreign countries. I hate them and wish them death. TM is as bad as them. He needs to grow up in a bad, bad way. In conclusion, it's been a great time. In August somewhen, we'll have D-Day 2 set up, and a good time will be had by all -- if anyone hears of it. Good night and god bless.
