The point is that I sincerely believe that it's all gone to pot.
Nobody and nothing can be trusted.
Global / multinational enterprises are out to milk you to death.
There is no way out.
You are beaten.
You can but hide.
Vote your preference, mood, thoughts.
Me.....................
They can all get fuked, I just want to hide.

I work for some of the largest companies in the world and some of the stuff they have in their marketing plans is dreadful. That being said, one of them is actually trying a novel approach over the next few years; provide good service, don't try to sell uninvited products and offer value. I nearly fell off my chair.Quote:

Really? When was the Golden Age when all was sweetness and light untroubled by base motive and sly mendacity?
As if the death of one man, soon to be martyr, will end the hatred and violence.
Who the fuk do these media fools think they're kidding.
But "yes" they are kidding.
The moronic masses revel in the exultant glory of presented wins.
We'll pervert and corrupt the words and meaning so long as we can get the ..............................
^^^^A comeback? The 20th century was the most horrible in the history of our species. The 19th wasn't much better. To what do we return? The Age of Reason? Pericles' Athens? The Tang Dynasty?
Things aren't that bad... It's called progress.
We are all probably having a better quality of life than we could have had 100 years ago.
What you complaining about?
Doubt it ever existed.Quote:

And our free press reflects our democracy
Those braying voices on the right of the House
Are echoed down the Street of Shame
Where politics mix with bingo and tits
In a strictly money and numbers game
Where they offer you a feature
On stockings and suspenders
Next to a call for stiffer penalties for sex offenders
It says here that this year's prince is born
It says here do you ever wish
That you were better informed
And it says here that we can only stop the rot
With a large dose of Law and Order
And a touch of the short sharp shock
If this does not reflect you view you should understand
That those who own the papers also own this land
And they'd rather you believe
In Coronation Street capers
In the war of circulation, it sells newspapers
Could it be an infringement
Of the freedom of the press
To print pictures of women in states of undress
When you wake up to the fact
That you paper is Tory
Just remember, there are two sides to every story
Billy Bragg 1984

A person should turn on to their own way of thinking, tune in to themselves, and drop out of society.
Think you and many others who live full time in Thailand are philosophically agree with Timothy Leary.
Methinks some people worry too much over things they cannot control.
When was the last time some multi-national company had such a profound effect on your day-to-day living?
Get over it and have a beer.
take it easy you socialist wack job.Quote:

Since Thurs the 'news' has consisted of a wedding, a sainthood, a death.
Do I have to care about any of these things?
Good guess! :bananaman:Quote:

My problem is with those who really think things are bad. These people think we are slaves and victims even doomed to possibly die due to the force out there working against the greater good. Some of these are the conspiracy theorists. What bothers me is when these people talk about this subject but reject the idea of using violence to change things. It's insanity. Whenever we bring up words of killing others to improve our lives we are immediately knocked down for even thinking the thought, yet if there is a truly evil force out there which drives some of us to our deaths isn't violence and option to save our own lives?
Conspiracy believer "They're killing us. They are enslaving us."
Realist "So we should take action and kill their leaders to stop this"
-End of discussion-
TO some it's almost like mankind is going to the gas chamber and we know it but we still ahve hope. It's the holocaust all over. Do real believers just talk shit online and take no action to save themselves and their family members. Oh, I see voting them out of office will end the conspiracy and holocaust. Well, that's the way the world seems to think it's going to work if you look at all the nutters out there claiming grand conspiracies.

By extension "Golden Age" denotes a period of primordial peace, harmony, stability, and prosperity.

how else could you enjoy genticles' veiled insinuations of chavist ancestry - the internet is a medium of communication/research that can be used without corporate censorship - or you could be a facebook user.Quote:

I'd probably choose the Tang Dynasty, aka the Jelly Roll Ascendancy.
