crikey, you're an asshole, icehole. let's (temporarily) assume that you have at least a low-level awareness of what you're talking about: icehole q#1 : "is it a postmodern blindness to context that we are talking about?" answer : huh? without getting into the historical context of why postmodernism is a response to the severity of modernism, we can (should) agree that postmodernism is a response to the cont
tag team, eh? okay. show me. show me where.
dr. guy, i understand (or think i do) what you mean, but there is no way to access this "history". it doesn't exist anywhere. if within the next ten years all historians quit and the new ones were all black, they would still need accurate, objective sources for a new version--sources that do not exist. even subjective sources, at least subjective comprehensive sources do not exist for that sort of telling. we can try to piece things togeth
of course, when i mean slipping to the right, i mean im slipping toward the middle, like where kerry's policies might have been found . . . . tbt
dr. guy, it sounds good, but it really isn't true. think about it for a sec. if someone were to compose a comprehensive history, a history en masse of every culture as they developed into what we have now, then we would be close to having "history" in the sense that i think you're intending. but even then you would still have a biased story, the bias of the author, or the editor, or the fact-checker, or the publisher, and the
that was pretty funny. yeah, you could put a label on that manuscript-sized catalogue of complaints whitey has, apparently, so it seems, based on the responses to what it's like to be white. you know, it almost feels like there's a lesson to be learned here . . . people who live in glass houses--no . . . he who is without sin--nope, that's not it . . . oh yeah, i got in now. GET A GRIP. tbt
(in the midst of an extended, postmodern study of borges) im sorry i missed your article . . . . tbt
that's a good one. recently ive been partial to: "Not a bad man but not good, either." --JM Coetzee, Disgrace it seems to imply a transcending of guilt, but also an acceptance of humility--we may not be villains, but we aren't victims, either. tbt
what a great response, who. knowing that rosa parks was acting as a demonstration of solidarity in accordance with mlk changes my respect not in the slightest--nor does it surprise me to find that she involved herself in a previous situation similar to the famous incident. some people are not capable of showing such courage. some people, on the other hand, are. tbt
yeah, thatoneguy. shitty, tough spot with only one real response to make. i wonder how often people in similar situations make the one real response . . . . i admire your courage. tbt
an interesting modern, urban development is the ordered delivery of groceries. this way you maximize your opportunity to sip cool beechwood-aged beverages from cozies that read "welcome to moronville, population YOU" while watching the olsen twins on television. this is america, baby! tbt
thanks, mm. in my dotage i seem to slipping to the right as well, but it's an imperfect slipping . . . sliding and slipping on occasion back to the left . . . . tbt
Per posting strategy of certain JoeUser ultra-right authors, I thought it might be educational to re-post a response I made to a specific form of Postmodern racism. I believe the original article in this series was posted by ModerateMan, with point and counterpoint provided by Little Whip and CityGuy, respectively, here: <a href="https://forums.joeuser.com/
Good morning, everyone! I thought I might offer a brief history of the origins for the left-wing manual so graciously provided by ModerateMan (provided in his article "How to be a Good Liberal"-- Link ), as I noticed that there were no cited references. I hope MM will permit me to tack th
1) let's assume, for the most brief of moments, that everyone in this administration (i'm going to ignore the dictionary sitting on my desk, o peoples left and peoples right) has demonstrated nothing but the purest form of honest dialogue with the american people. 2) let us now, if we may, assume, in general, that we the people of the united states only elect government officials who have proven themselves to be honest individuals (FDR, JFK, R
dr, actually i agree. the odds may say that buying a ticket makes sense, but my risk factor considers $1 to be valued closer to $5 because im a broke student with credit so bad that people wont even accept my cash. so i wont be buying tickets myself; i just hope to get a little somethin-somethin on the side for offering my good counsel. tbt
baker, i wonder how much a year you get with the annuity? if you sock away the cash sum, but live off the yearly return, how does that affect inflation . . . i mean, the total cash socked away wouldnt change if you live off the earnings, right? and the yearly sum, though the same (with possible market fluctuations) would lose its worth inflation-wise. or, perhaps, you would let the earnings ride, collect, and outdistance inf
frog, now you're getting to a place where the cash option is viable, odds-wise. i'd be curious to know whether or not those companies that invest in the lottery have to pay the same taxes a normal citizen would. 'course, that would change the whole scenario. tbt
the year was 1996. the green bay packers were on a tear, cleaning up the best teams in the league, leaving only wreckage and faint cries of terror in their wake. i was in my senior year at colorado college, but a friend of mine had located a packers bar and we had watched every game. he had to skip town one monday night--and on this monday night the green bay packers were playing the 49ers on monday night football. i recruited a roo
. . . yes, but you'll have to play a different sort of game when it comes to investing. the annuity is a concrete amount . . . so you can establish correct odds for making a ticket purchase. the cash amount is too low to make a ticket purchase a correct investment . . . unless your risk factor brings your dollar value to about $0.20 or lower. tbt
Inspired by an artice by Mr. Frog: A lottery ticket costs $1 . . . though I don't know much about the multiplier thingie . . . do you need to go multiplier to win the big jackpot? All right, going with the $1 figure, :et's say that your odds are 1:187,000,000 and the jackpot is $300,000,000: 1) Without any other factors, you're
living in jerusalem? in the old city? it's been just under eight years since i was there (on the 50th anniversary) and i'll never forget any of the millions of little things i saw and learned. in many ways i'm jealous, manopeace. i'm curious about your feelings on such issues as reprisals, west bank settlement, and confidence in the parliament system . . . . tbt
of course you can't talk them into it, at least not over fresh fruit juices and chick peas and then have the whole thing settled by sundown. the point is there's no bandaid that's going to cure the problem. right choices have to be made by those who have the power and security to make choices at all. tbt
16. eric stoltz yeah, he's been in several movies, some big, some not so big, but the guy can act. i'd love to see him in other huge roles. tbt
7. groundhog day 8. ghostbusters 9. the big lebowski of course, i'll keep watching them again and again anyway, but it would be nice to catch them for the first time. tbt
