Wrong, Stem. They choose to make light of certain details (when/if they come up) out of fear and maybe a little desire.

I was wondering where my prophet hero went to these past 5 years.

Oh. I've been looking for this character in the non-fiction section the whole time. Duh.

Before you get comfortable watching this video, be sure to leave plenty of room for barf in your popcorn bag. You're going to need it if you don't want to make a mess.

Some people are insane, and some people are "unsane." Agency can be use, pervesly, in this way.

Yes...perversely.


Why is it, when you're not able to refute any of his points, you go straight to the ad hominmen? Do you think that makes your position any less weak?


He doesn't have a position, at least, not in a critical or logical sense. His entire presence on this board and other boards is nothing more than his psychological defense mechanisms parading upon the public stage in a daily cathartic territorial display, like a mountain gorilla slapping its chest and pounding the ground.

There are some other people here who engage in fundamentally the same behavior.

Its quite transparent, really.

Yeah, that trailer is misleading as all get out. It also has more schmaltz than a Hallmark movie.

If only you could see how much of your posting is just rank projection. But you can't, because your lack of skill robs you of the metaskill of having that self awareness. Pity, really.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'll just have to agree to disagree on this. Apathy seems to be one major reason, maybe even the premier one.

I agree with Stem Zee. I think most people just go with the flow without thinking about it too much.

If only you could see how much of your posting history here and at other boards in little more than a Kabuki dance in which you attempt to look smart and sophisticated while observers can quite clearly see that the man behind the curtain is just engaging in one grand, obfuscatory, ego-tripping head game.
