5 Things that Belong in Every Household

2007-11-19T14:53:00.000+01:00

1.) Gibson Les Paul
- whether you can or cannot play the guitar, an electric guitar should be in your household, and as the only alternatives would be a Fender Stratocaster or Telecaster, you can should go for the Les Paul directly...

2.) A Penguin
- whether real, or puppet. Especially if you have a tv set, you need to have a penguin standing on top of it.

3.) A Book on Hovercrafts
- yes, definately.

4.) A Toboggan,
- even if it's just for the beauty of the word.

5.) Something (anything) that has been broken for years, but you can't just throw away.
- as it is a senseless thing to hold on to, which, in that case is considered good!

When Nonsense Turns Dangerous

2007-07-18T13:30:00.000+02:00

...I just couldn't resist posting this here:

>Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but, we thought, if people needed a crutch for consolation, where's the harm? September 11th changed all that. Revealed faith is not harmless nonsense, it can be lethally dangerous nonsense. Dangerous because it gives people unshakeable confidence in their own righteousness. Dangerous because it gives them false courage to kill themselves, which automatically removes normal barriers to killing others. Dangerous because it teaches enmity to others labelled only by a difference of inherited tradition. And dangerous because we have all bought into into a weird respect, which uniquely protects religion from normal criticism. Let's now stop being so damned respectful!<

The Thinning

2007-07-16T18:00:00.000+02:00

>The Thinning
Epiphenomenologies

Once upon a Pervert...

Many yes, yes
While every down
From breaking mankind every securities
Their days, Deceptive present awaits
Less wonder
Best they book stars

May one have wished
The sturdy, promising night
God, at lovers?
In not deceptive fares,
In toward
Thinning animals, hearing the sounds
a-laid, others incapable, many taught-
laid like a-hearing that,
when the thinning
cannot be taught.

Three first orders:
Elegies, molesting, moons
First cried, enough-house
-that near, from midnight
- mindnight
wail-path afar
good issued, hardly cry

Their look:
Perverse, condemned, unholy
Date every three,
Ancient, every plot
(Only that later point:
Full boast, Endowed out!)
Execution.

Minor sorrow. Man.
Stars, by mighty laid wave
Altering the thinning, many yes, yes
Right-out springs
All that way while for a wielded violin
Alters that sturdy mindless
That broken fared
Shed Mankind breaking heart enough
Read: PERIL!

Black swelled Deeper
I have I seen in a,
Every remorseful general
My seal,
Her Lantern in the into-my-dark
Can, and then and she scorns
Will dark wells be

We name her by the fate
The summoning Name
Order, I am given
Hers maybe without,
Every without-
Leader mentions execution
Translated this means:
Stalk now!

Know everything. Point!
Known, Renown, for now condemned
Been waiting, long endowed
At killside, this hillside
She's possibly in this very land
Left that is, as every Erst-Folk
Sorrow down.

By, for I hide open,
From Time
Or Hitherto Immortality
You swelled the earth,
Do Air, Existence, Home

think about population control through birth control, rather than religions telling you life being sacred (what's sacred anyway - nothing is!). Life is just life.
Less humans = less resources needed, less emissions, more space & freedom for the individual.
