So, to get back on track a little bit... what do you all think about applying Marx to school, my false inprisionment, and the injustice at school? -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Sublte in terms of screwing the system. Cross dressing is more subtle than... say... taking the principal hostage. Or burning down the gym. I think you get the idea. -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

t ADoS: Hmmm... a Canadian, eh? Nice one. Those people are just too civil for us Americans. Is an orange hat the extent of your costume? If you don't mind, I would like to borrow that concept and be a Canadian Cross Dresser myself. Although many guys might dress as women, I am going to distinguish myself from the rest of them by adding a dramatic plot twist to the whole day and my costume. quote:t m's devotee: I think I need to adjust your metaphor a little bit. I think it is more appropriate to say "Subtle- as the spitwad that dude in the back of the class hit you with yesterday to the nuke. :P -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

TM, you once said that this topic was a sacred place. Well, I have decided to pay homage on my 50th post (and my becoming a Journeyman)! I know, it is not impressive to some of you, but I am quite proud I made it this far, considering the people who post like two things and disappear. I am also showing respect by changing my moniker for the first time. That is all.

I have made several changes to the title of this topic to make it broader. t m's devotee: Don't worry, that is what we spiderwebbers are all about, right? :P And as far as getting into a good college, I have no worries, my college applications already have some pretty impressive stuff on it. I will finish High School in like 2 years, and have a high GPA. But yes, many thanks for your advice. I have a plan to run for student council, and later, school board. The school system is so *jacked* it is not even funny, no, actually, it is so bad, it is hilarious. For example, I was suspended from school because I was accused of calling a noon duty aid a "stupid person". I did not do it, someone else in the crowd did, so my mom had to talk with the principal. There is SOO MUCH INJUSTICE!!! I FEEL LIKE EXPLODING SOMETIMES!!! I WAS ACCUSED OF SOMETHING I DID NOT DO!!! :mad: There is no respect for kids anymore. We are all looked down upon. Actually, now that I think about it, we have allways been looked upon as inferiors. :( EDIT: WE GOT POLLING AGAIN!!! HURRAY!!!

I'll be sure to keep you all posted on the progress of my adventure. :D Speaking of spirit week, (and to take this topic a little off course) what do you all think about school spirit, and homecoming and such? In general, what do you all think of the social stucture of school? I personally think it is all blown out of proportion, overrated, and stupid. To some extent it is fun, but sometimes everything (like pep rallies) gets ridiculous. What do you all think? Also, another idea I have been toying with is applying Marx and his philosophy into a school enviorment. Like having the students instead of the workers being the means of production and stuff like that. What do you all think of this?

It is just about that time of year again, and Holloween is just around the corner. But I think since it is autumn here, it is spring in Australia and in the southern hemisphere, right? Anywho, I was just curious as to weather you all are going to dress up, or if you all are too old for that, and will just sit at home watching Hitchcock films and giving out candy. I myself plan on cross-dressing for halloween. It is too cold to wear a dress at night here, so I will only do it at school. For the trick or treating part, I am considering adorning myself in pirate garments. I am doing it because of the thrill and to scare the teachers and the really dumb, ignorant people, not because I am gay or anything. If you think about it, it is a subtle screwing of the system. If you all have any ideas or inputs for my costume, do tell.

I have debating just like you. You are not the only one, to ask this question. You have friends in this epic decision... I personally think BoE is the best choice out of the two. Though Avernum has better graphics, in BoE you can do much more. I have concluded that I will buy BoA to play scenarios, not to make them because I hear it is difficult, and BoE is hard enough for me. Actually, I say this all here. -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

I have (like many other Spiderwebbers) weather or not to buy BoA. I am loyal to the BoE engine and have been worried about BoE being outdated and forgotten. However, I have come to a conclusion: to buy BoA for playing scenarios only, not for making them. And use BoE for making scenarios and playing them. It is my understanding the BoA engine is much harder to use, and I have trouble using the BoE editor as it is. What do you all think of this? (I am thinking that this has already been thought, and if so, let me know, and I'll lock this.) -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Now you are going to make me feel guilty about taking the horse out of the barn. :( I was just in a sense, relating to not wearing pants. I guess I just did not understand your original post... However, I have concluded I shall make it up with a joke!!! So here goes: A skeleton, a dog, a man, a cricket, a bartender, a camel, a mop, a woman, and a kid walk into a bar. The bartender says: "What is this, some kind of joke?!?!?" Ok, it may be lame, so here is another one: P1:Knock knock P2:Who's there? P1:Control Freak P1: Now this is the part where you say "Control Freak who?!?" Think about it. Ok, those two were bad so here is a good one, OK? "What did the maxipad say to the fart?" "You are the wind beneath my wings..." You have to admit, that one was good. So did that make you feel better m's devotee? :) [ Wednesday, October 13, 2004 16:27: Message edited by: Wham Bam Shizam ] -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

I smell a libertarian... :P Just kidding. I have never really thought about nudism, but yeah, I guess it is ok if you don't really intrude in people's ways. It can get annoying. Obviously. Who would you like someone mooning you through your window while you try to finish your take-home test on Romeo and Juliet for your English class? Think about it. And somehow, in a very hehe.. "loose" way relate to you m's devotee. I am caught with my fly open quite often at school. I swear I zip it up but I guess there are evil forces at work against me.

quote:Though in the case of the 10 Commandments, and various other "moral codes" (Hammurabi's Code) morals are devised to keep people under control, not all moral codes stuff a population. Personal moral codes don't do that. I totally concur with your opionion on Libertarian views. I was talking to a Libertarian friend, and debated him on his opionion regarding his "Do what you will, so long as it hurts none" philosophy. Using the Socratic Method :cool: I eventually cornered him into saying that smart people who took responsibility for their actions would put the people who bother other people to justice. I pointed out that the smart people were not only forming government (he was relating Libertarianism to a form of anarchy) but certain groups, the strongest and smartest, would create dictatorship, rendering the "anarchist" state of the country, city whatever, useless. By the way, what do you all think about the whole libertarian thing? -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Thank you Eldiran, and thank you Syntyrael for your wonderful compliments. t Eldiran: I made that one in a hurry, and that is the meaning behind the un capitalized 'i's. However, they might come to some profound meaning in the future... thank you for the idea... -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Ani's music is classified in many different generes. The most popular is folk-punk. Or nu-folk as Rosy so aptly put it. I won't bother you with my gibber-gabber about her, you all will probably find it very boring. You can google her (Ani DiFranco) or check out her website and download a short clip. -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

I wholeheartedly agree with coffe, eggs, hashbrowns and toast and Morgan regarding intelligence.(I may not be picking up on what they intended but the previous post made me think.) However, I hear my mathteacher say over and over that the big employers are looking for people with social skills, not entirely brains. Though I think it is good to have social skills, you can't be stupid. I think that my teacher's statement, in a way, conveying the effort of the system to turn us all into brainless zombies without freethinking minds or opinions. At least in the US anyway. Though I am not trying to disregard people with people skills and low IQs, I am instisting that people skills are not enough. I know tons of people who are brilliant, creative, funny and have people skills, but can't pass the stupid standardized tests. That is a whole other deal. The system is trying to throw us all into little tiny boxes with labels on them... *sigh* ok, I'll stop soon. I guess, in conclusion, social skills are vital to a person's personality and existance. I also believe people with social skills should have opinions, and at least a tad bit of intelligence. -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

t m's devote: I have pondered this question too. As Thuryl pointed out, children could not fend for themselves if just provided food, water, and shelter, the necessities. I have concluded that everyone is conditioned, from the instant you are something in your mother's womb, you are condidioned. By her vibes, and the food she eats, the things she consumes, you are influenced. Obviously things like media and enviornment influence you. There is no such thing as an unconditioned being. The only way we can free ourselves from conditioning, for a short time, is to be mindful of our surroundings, perceiving them for what they are, not letting our minds interfere. Don't you all agree? -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

I must say, I enjoyed your poems Syntyrael. Very involved. Deep. Personally, I would like to see more rythem, maybe a few rhyming words. I maybe reading it wrong, missing the beats. I am not trying to bash, just trying to give some feedback. Does anyone have critisizms of my stuff?

OK-here is my 2 cents about morality, ethics, etc: I believe that morality is something you aquire really. I mean, there are sociopaths who don't give a care about anyone else's life, their own, or anything else. They are able to kill without caring. Are they doing "bad"? There are kids at school who are suspended, over and over, and still act the way they do. This is what society has pushed on some people: apathy. Who is to say what is bad and what is good? Hitler thought what he was doing was right. No, he KNEW what he was doing was right. Otherwise, he wouldn't be who he was, and did what he did, correct? This brings up the question of what WE CAN KNOW, and what we can't. What is true knowlege? But our own senses of good and evil differ by our own experiences and upbringings. I do not believe a deity or god determines what is good and evil, it is us. "Then why care about anything, be nice to people, and treat things with kindness and compassion?" is a question I ask myself. "Why even continue to live, if there is no point, no justice in the end, why can't I do whatever the hell I want?" I have found that I have certian obligations to myself, and being compassionate, caring, etc is one. My mother also pulled out an encounter someone wrote about involving Gary Snyder. A person in a forum asked him the questions stated previously, and he replied; "it is not a matter of what is good and bad, it is a matter of STYLE AND CHARACTER." or something like that. So that is how I like to justify my compassion, (or at least I'd like to think I am compassionate :) ) It is a matter of style and character what we do in this world. :cool: -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Um... I write a little bit of poetry. I go long whiles without writing, and then I really get into it and write, write, write. I currently keep a little notebook I doodle and write in, and I have several little diddies I am working on. I also try to incorporate poetry with my guitar playing, but no luck so far. Maybe sometime soon I'll come up with something. I guess the more I write and the more I force myself to make songs, the chances of me making something worth listening to increase. I do have a little something that I made one night, its really just a bunch of my other stuff thrown together. Enjoy. Striding under an ebony stained sky crushing the early tears of dawn with the souls of my feet caked with the chocolate crusting of earth i gaze at the suspended sphere of swiss cheese reflecting the luminesence of Icarus's demise, flanked by little dots of flashing white light doomed to a fate predetermined by beings who themselves shall only expierience a fraction of what these swirling masses of gas and rock will or will they? i feel small hmm.... what is feeling? what is anything? what is real? who are you? who am i? blah blah blah.... it goes on and on and on till i drown myself in the oceans of depressing mental mastrubation and i am still being soaked by this dry, meaningless rain pouring their memories all the same.... an empty cup If you all decide to bash my poem, go a little easy, ok? :) -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Just as poWrrBot said, whatever sounds good. However, I do like a lot of folk music, funk, latin, of course the blues, CSNY, anything really. Ani DiFranco is a favorite, does anyone know who she is... anyone like her? I like a little of the classic rock, soft punk stuff, everyone at school plays it. Some of it sounds good, I just can't take too much, you should listen to those guys sing... I have an idea. For us musicians out there, we should find some way to post our stuff it so everyone who wants to can listen. I don't know how though.. any ideas? -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |
