I tried to tell you all that Disney was evil, but nooooooooo. And now look whats happened. The Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montanna have given childeren a truly warped view of how relationships are supposed to work. Because when you hear that sappy garbage you are supposed to already know about the friction that happens when two people get to know eachother.
Feth Disney!
In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.

It's not just Disney's fault, though it certainly is a major factor.
You can put the blame on "Reality shows". (Can anybody spot the oxymoron? I can.) Reality shows like the Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and all their spin offs.
that convince young people that normal relationships are full of arguements, multiple lovers, copious amounts of sex, wanton alcohol abuse, contests, and of course, elimination ceremonies.
Thus, they get it stuck in their heads that the only way their relationship can be "normal" is if it is filled with drama.
And don't even get me started on Jersey Shore and The Hills. Oh, I would beat them all to death with a pillow case full of rusty doorknobs.

Pushing Shopping carts is a crappy job, and people seem to know this and sympathise. Yet they rarely do the two things that they can do to make it as pain free as possible, namely removing garbage from the carts and putting the carts in the corrals correctly (which takes no effort or time as long as somebody else hasn't previously screwed it up). I can only imagine that anybody who puts a cart directly at the mouth of a 3.5 meter deep cart corral hates me for some unknown reason, because it reduces the potential capacity of the corral from 30-40 down to 3.
I need to do a graphjam about this.

I'm not just in love with her body. But that's a large part of it too. She's also a kickass guitarist.
I love that guy's guitar...but that is some generic-ass music.
If that was just her starting the song, then I have to agree that she is at least interesting. Its a very different bass sound, which is always refreshing.

I agree in principle.

Nice to hear.
On a completely unrelated note: I might be getting a job this summer, waking my neighbors dogs when they're on vacation.
Also, I might be going to see a movie with my brother next weekend, so that'll be nice.
When the christains first came to Norway they burned Pagan shrines and desecratced graves. Thats why the church burnings happened..
And to qoute Mr Vikernes
"If they won't respect our Culture why should we theirs?"
And I dunno I like my life atm, got a decent job, I don't have many friends but the few I have I can trust with anything.
As well I have plenty of liqour to drink down during these beautiful spring days.
And all the religons i've looked into just can't interest me. And I have considered being Pagan but.
There is no Pagan land anymore, now if I were alive 1000 years ago I would totally be into the Odinhist creed but all the "Pagans" I know simply did it more to rebel against their Catholic Parents then to live the lifestyle of Odinism or Wicca.
I've sold so many armies. :(

Mate, I TOTALLY know where you're coming from - before realising I was actually Atheist, I too cast around for religious answers in various places before realising that Faith just wasn't me. It's not in my nature at all. I have to question everything. Those questions inevitably lead to more questions, and I don't believe in easy answers. You appear to be fairly similar in this respect - you don't come across as the 'comfort-blanket' type. Not that all religious people are that way, of course.
If you ever want to chat about Atheism, please feel free to PM me. I'm not out to 'convert' anyone, so for a balanced view, why not also talk to JEB about Faith - he's a very wise bloke. Manchu is also very knowledgeable on the topic of Faith, and I'm sure he'd be willing to take the time for a chat with you on it.

Japan is a Pagan land. Shinto, the national religion is Pagan. I was married in a pagan shrine with this giant dragon head glaring down at me while the priest danced around exorcising demons. The whole time I was like "wow, this like James Bond." There are buddhists about, but Japan is generally unreligious. I too have torn myself away from the Catholicism and over-the-top protestantism that my parents brought me up with. I am well into the old Norse religions after a few exceptional experiences in the wild and from a ancestral point of view. I wear a Walknut pendent, observe the old holy days by powering back mass amounts of beer with my lone friend, the Swede, reading the Sagas and books about the Scandinavian myths. I don't worship trees, but I venerate nature and thank all the gods, particularly the Creator one, for giving me such a great place to hang out for 80 years or so before I turn back into dust.
Cool. I never knew Shintoism was considered Pagan.
See I always saw Pagan as a term for "old" like the gods that existed before Christianity. Like the Druids or Norse.
But I guess the term covers everything before Christianity. And I'm assuming since the western world left Japan alone for most of the time till about the 1800s thing's didn't change much eh?
Also I finally found a DP that isn't shion laughing her ass off.

I had a couple days there where everything I posted on forums was concise, accurate and balanced in just such a way that it fell on the intended side of an argument while still criticising faulty aspects of it.
Then in the last two days I have said several of things that have annoyed people and made me sound like a mentally disorganised cretin.
Gak the internet is hard sometimes. At least I'm learning not to get into arguments with people who's world view is not based on logic and evidence.

I am fully aware that the real world is full of people who lack either knowledge or mental faculties, but they are generally easier to deal with in real life because you can just choose never to talk abotu the things about which they are insane. But on the interweb, discussion is the entire goal. You can't avoid the issue, because they aren't going to.
Thats why the internet is harder in this regard.
Damn that guy is a moron.

The best part of that video is the girl's reaction to it. SHe is nodding in agreement with everything he is saying. A damn shame to waste a perfectly cute girl on that dribble.

I'M SO SICK OF THIS FETHING EYEPATCH! I've suffered an eye injury recently due to an unforseen accident involing a drumstick, so I've to wear this stupid eyepatch which makes me look like a fething Neo-Nazi. Fortunatly, in two days I can take it off.
Also, it turns out that GES is not the only one who's unamoured with a celebrity. I find myself quite infatuated with this women:
In school today, girls on the softball team were selling things from Avon for a fundraiser. Tyically, I wouldn't buy anything for any fundrasier, but I wanted to get something for my
mother, as she's had one gakky week so far. I know she used to work for Avon, and that they actually have some nice stuff. So, I ask one of the girls if I can look at the catalouge to buy something. I see some makeup my mother would like, so I fill out an order form for it.
She asked if I was being serous, and I replied 'Yeah, my mom loves the Avon stuff."
One period later, my comment had been passed around my classes, and I am now a cross dresser. SO apparently, the eyeliner, eye shadow, and lip stick I bought for my mother is now going
into some sort of shrine I have constructed in my dresser drawer to all things Faggy.
But rather then be pissed off (well I still am, but...) I figure, when I get the makeup, I'll come in one day and run with it. I'm thinking a simple, but elegant, skirt, dark blue, and a nice
rich purple blouse. Obviously I'll need to wear my push up bra so that my A looks more like a C, but I think I can pull it off.*
