I’m in this sort of mild disagreement with someone here, I mean Ecclesiastes7:8 --- not trying to be cryptic, it’s all public. I have been trying hard to behave myself here, but, you know, shit, there’s certain things that bug me, chief among them is that sort of silence as the voice of complicity. If no one had said anything at all I wouldn’t have either; I hung up my crusading flag a long time ago, whatshisname already found the holy grail and it didn’t work out to well for him.
Anyhow I wrote a note this morning that had me rethinking why an argument at all instead of why such civil discourse, the note went like this; As to changing minds --- This isn't for you and me, it's for prosebox --- it's not really quite a social networking site until there's a political argument and probably a theological one, just like it's not really a wedding reception until a drunken brawl breaks out.
That’s more of a revelation for me than arguing gun control with an either/or libertarian free stater. Maybe I attend the wrong sort of weddings, but it’s almost bad luck if a fight doesn’t break out. My favorite all time wedding fight was when I was dancing with the grooms mom and being held back by his brothers the groom shouted “You fucked my wife, you fucked my sister, stay away from my mom!” Yeah, no, this place is mostly OD folks, I’ve told that story at least once. I’m just saying, afterwards everyone loosened up; the fight had broke and the groom didn’t get his eye dotted and his moms virtue remained intact. If I were to have a question about all that it would be; Why invite me in the first place?
I’m just saying, I think prosebox is trying to recreate a sort of OD ambience and not, say, a Facebook or MySpace ambience. I don’t think Facebook would even allow me to type fuck. I don’t know, the only arguments I’ve seen there I’ve been a party too and it’s been with OD people on Facebook.
I’m not calling OD a race or a creed. I am calling it more of an open forum, more the stump, the filibuster than the twit or tweet. Free speech is kind of useless if no one is disagreeing.
On a related note I have a soft spot for code happy geeks; I miss the NW, I miss my irl friends, leets, code happy geeks. So I’m very sympathetic to this site and its survival. Y’all know I fucked all your wives/husbands sisters/brothers and might just fuck your mom’s or dads. Someone really should call me on that. I’m kidding, mostly, but y’all know what I mean, right?
I’d rather not draw first blood, hell there’s a rubber tip on my Epee, but don’t make me break out my knee jerk liberal bag of tricks, and if you do someone damn well better argue or I swear to god I’ll set up a second account just to argue with myself. I’m thinking the state of the union address needs to be something like this too. I damn near feel sorry for the GOP being all splintered as it is. Bad enough an alleged democracy has two barely distinguishable parties without one of them just giving up. Hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys when everyone has taken off their cowboy hats; it’s just a pile of black and white hats.
Or, you know, Jesus was a hippie, or the old Salmon Rushdie joke; his next book? Buddha you fat fuck. It’s how the blood courses through the veins of a journaling site. Y’all know good and god damn well what the alternative is; Omg he is sooooo cute r u into him? Lmfao lol.
