That was your first so-so comeback Evanescent...I'll give it a 7
I figured someone might like it. Thanks for the comment truthbearer I have been learning the ways of owning people
Now I am just confused... :shakehead2:
Back to the subject, wait what subject :?:
This Topic was trully about my situation with me breaking up with my girlfriend...............But now I'm over it.
Now, about these roaches, they'll find our bones or fossils in these boxes (Cofins) that theyll think that it was our homes or we lived only underground, because they will just make up stories so everthing can make sense.
Pfft...friggin' roaches.
"Blah blah blah we're soooo radioactive-resistant...blah blah blah."
*SQUISH*
Hahaha stupid bug! At least we have the joy of killing each other in nuclear apocalypse and not you squishing us!
*SQUISH*
How does that feel bitch!? HAHAHA!
Where do you get this from.
what the roach thing. Dont you know that roaches can survive nuclear radiation. So we go down and they just eat us up while dead. and they'll eat our brains and become smarter.
Thats pretty funny.
Which reminds me how sick a coffin is underground. Makes you contemplate cremation sometimes. :shock:
Now where did you get that from?
What shows do you guys watch on tv.

The coffin isn't that sealed, a lot of bugs and things can crawl in, then lay eggs, etc. etc. I saw this thing on the discovery channel a couple years back on post mortem stuff.
You do know TV isn't the only source for culture there is, right?Quote:

Both choices suck...but then again they don't really matter...
What is culture, anyway? It's become less defined as we "advance".
I read newspapers, watch tv, go on the internet. I just don't let it consume me. That is the way to self-ignorance.
Remember: Always be skeptical. Always.
I'm not going to be one of these people that denounce TV and everything, because, personally, I like it. :)
Though some commercials are sickening as well....
No, he has a point, TV is culture in the US. Although I hate how people just watch stuff and think that thats the way your suppost to act. Its stupid. I call these people followers. I'm not saying I'm a leader, but more in between. Like how American Idol is a hit, now everyone wants to start singing, (Like my annoying sister). And stupid music videos, influencing sexual interaction. Or how these stupid shows are promoting bad morals in sexual choosing and telling everyone that they have to look perfect.
In closing, TV is a BIG culture impact.
TV has influenced many things in culture that you may not even realize. How we view women as attractive for one. Funny thing is, I don't know how this started in the first place...maybe those 1920s movies or something? Who knows.
I'm not a follower here, but following something to feel excepted is a natural psychological insecurity. There's nothing wrong with it, but it can become dangerous. Everyone wants to feel excepted. Some do it better than others (they do their own "Style" for example). Let's not bash the people that really did just flip on the channel and start watching American Idol, and liked it, not just turning it on because everyone elese did.
But conformity reaches subtle levels in some "rebellious" and "punk" groups. Some of them talk about not giving in to trends and being yourself, but at the same time I see a large group with the same hair cut and color, and the same clothing styles. I'm not saying they're hypocritical, it's just a natural thing.
I don't think you have to tell me about being skeptical... I never believe anything unless I have something that tells me I should. It is best to question every single thing, to find the true origin of it and the "why" behind it....
What you guys are saying is right, I have been saying so in many threads all along. The problem with going with a counter culture movement, is that it is still a movement, just like any other. It is just as equal as someone who choses to follow the Pop movement. You see, counterculture starts with the desire to not be like everyone else, not follow the aestethic tendencies and such that we are always fed. The problem is that this now has become an aestethic tendency as well, and there is no originality in doing so.
All my life I have been trying to see the big picture, rise above it all. I believe that so far I am faring pretty well. I just don't give a fuck about anything. I identify to some extent with the rebellious and punk movements, and have many friends that have adopted it(the look and all). Eventhough the people I get along with best are doing so, I refuse to express the way I feel, or who I represent by looking a certain way. I put on whatever clothes I am given and, hardly ever, I pick myself up a pair of jeans or a t-shirt or something. Perhaps of a group I like, or just some design that seems kind of cool. But my point is I don't dress the way that I am expected to, or act the way that they want me too. I try to rise above it all and be as much of myself as possible, without getting carried away by all the things that truly do not matter...
P.S. I am now about to do something that will further prove how little I care about brands that I am supposed to identify with and such, and had the brilliant idea of having my own t-shirts made. I will choose some frase or picture or whatever that I find clever or insulting to those who read it, and have it made, instead of sporting the name of some guy's company to make him richer... I am not saying/doing this to prove anything to anyone, I just think it is a much better idea...
Yeah, I often find myself wearing a pear of jeans for quite a while, and I too just pick a shirt I like and buy it. I mean, I am quite a communist idealist (though at the same time a realist), but I don't go as far as too let spite myself and not buy videos and games or a clothes I like. Even a pair of sneakers. I like the design; I don't care if it's made in Indonesia or something--my 40-60 dollar (that's as far as I go...the most expensive was 100 and that was more of a gift, not to mention how much of an asshole I felt making them buy those shoes) sneaker purchase [that I wouldn't have bought, say] isn't going to stop Nike or whatever from making money.
The corporations will not ceize to exist because you stop buying from them, you are right. But I don't not do it because of that, I know it won't happen and really do not care. I do it because of myself, cause I really don't want to be a commercial & consumerist whore
What subject?
STOP F*CKING POST WHORING, MAN!!!!!!
I know you are not the only one of the recent boomers that is doing so, but really, I would suggest you stop posting about how we get off topic. We always get off topic. Sometimes we don't even have a topic. My point is, there is no need to point this out in every single thread. I am saying this because I know all the regs are tired of having newbs only posting to increase their post count, not contributing anything to the conversation. Its ok to do so once in a while, but not repeatedly in order to achieve lucid god status or such....
Just trying to help you man, cause a lot of people are getting pissed off because of stuff like this....It's nothing personal...
K sorry......I would rather make something that shows what I am about, than buy something from a company that is the "usual" just too profit them.
Ya remember when everyone used to wear, just polo shirts on Tommy Hill Figure stuff. I mean, just because people started doing it, everyone followed them and did the same. Whats up with that?
Or when I was in High School, one group started playing with yoyos and then almost the whole entire school started bringing their own yoyos. Followers.
