Good thinkin'.......... I didn't know one could do that. Thanks for the info if I
ever need it.

If you use the Thunderbird email program, you can filter out items with certain words in subject line, the body of the message, or from certain addresses, or any combination. I just made a filter to delete anything from Current that has #####@$#@! in the body of the message. All the rest of my Current notifications come through and I never have to even think about #####@$#@! unless I trip over some of his nonsense whining in an actual thread. Generally just ignore those replies. Life is nice and not as much troll feeding.

Thanx. I'll remember to stay atop of the bridge should any trolls appear i.e. ignore
their nasty comments.

Or I could envision cloning.

Someone mentioned to me that mishima and a few others TROLLS......"wait till
they start stalking you"........what the H did she mean? I couldn't find her post...
I think if was lena/the gal from Wisconsin.

Good toon !

Good one ! Looting is your answer, fella in 'toon'. Thanx for posting.

"P" thanx for posting these wise and wonderful things.

What kind of "consciousness" is that?

The kind of which you are obviously bereft.

Probably the "critical consciousness" type. Do you know about that?

Actually, the human decency consciousness is what I was referring to.

Yes, I do know about critical consciousness - despite the fact that I was not educated in Brazil. It is also a consciousness that would infinitely improve you if you could acquire it, it would then allow you to pretend to be human.

Maybe you are not aware of what is being taught in American universities today. Often is it not really direct, but sometimes it is. It is the concept of "critical consciousness."

The origins are a bit complex, coming from Foulcaut, Derrida, and others, and it is tied to deconstructionism, post-modernism, etc. It is a waste of time to get into those. Suffice to say that it is a method to look at society in terms of power. The idea is to get people - unsuspecting students - to view the world this way, and they are primed, of course. This becomes simply normal for them if the professors succeed: Look at human relationships and societies in terms of power structures.

The real essence is that in this putative "search" for what they purport to be "truth," the power structure always is directed to the free market and other places, such as America. It is also directed at western modes of thought and white males. These are the supposed "sources of power" that need to be exposed and brought down.

It is variation of a theme on Marxism. Nothing more. Pure tripe.

Whatever. I refer to the real origin of critical consciousness.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_consciousness

My posts are based on study and reasoned thought, and yours are based on Google searches.

No, you do Google searches and little else. It is easy to spot.

LOL! As I said, I use my google searches to substantiate my claims as well as to spare my hands and fingers a lot of typing, whether you like it or not.

No, your posts are BASED on Google searches.

Absolute nonsense, as always.

Good fucking lord. Are you addicted to trolling this site? Do you even have a life?

Take a break and watch some football. Hell, the Chiefs are actually looking like a team today.

Beautiful , Poetically Beautiful .... Tiger , tiger burning bright , in the jungles of the night , ..... well , I'm , cheered up , wait ... i wasn't sad or angry to begin with , just stuck indoors ... : )

One that many here respond to. Raising knowledge IS totally possible. What's
wrong with that?

A postive one. I did say that a Rising of Knowledge is totally possible. What's
wrong with that??

As is one's man's ceiling is another man's floor.

im not even gonna read this argument wish mishima, but i will vote up this hunk. :)

"And what pray tell is the 'machine' ?? Shame on Mishima, .... the SYSTEM, of
course ! I've worked State, City, and Feds.......... ALL corrupt. No County, praise be,
too many horror stories comin' outta that one. Hark !

I just don't understand why they hid my comment.....all I did was note that someone's posts seemed to be based on an Oedipus Complex....tsk, tsk....guess it hit a bit too close to home and somebody flagged it. Can you imagine?

I saw your comment. I think it's still here. Yeah, why would they hide a comment
as mild as yours when others cuss n' fuss, name-call, use God's name in vain, etc.
This is one big messed up thread........I've been on it almost all evening.

"Critical consciousness" is a Marxist concept. It has been passed down in the Leftist culture via deconstructionism.

yes, current does seem to coddle a certain element.....

You sound like a 2-year-old stomping your feet and insisting you are right! Take a breath man!

Pwr 2 the SOCIALIST VA peons!
GUILLOTINE THE REAGAN MCCARTHYIST REPTOXICONS ... oh wait, we did that a month ago!!!!

"Wish" Misihma........ and don't ya mean vote up for this PUNK?

Brilliant............don't even bother to read the arguement, but vote up for this PUNK
don't ya mean? And "wish" Mishima? Alrightee then.

"From The New Yorker"

I truly love it! Thank you sooooo much C.P.!

Yes, another very prophetic toon. Thanks for posting these well and wise things !

Thanks! I thought it was SOOOO appropriate.

My pleasure

Our rivers and streams are cleaner than in the past. And compare the industrialized world to the "3rd world" regarding pollution and disease.

"Our rivers and streams are cleaner than in the past. And compare the industrialized world....'

Well perhaps, no! In correction, -as far as your so-called incite is concerned- this is NOT about what a Homosexual thought (if in fact there was clarity from you on the matter) would be! Have you given time to think about this? How can you TRY to express feelings in the Homosexual regard (as if a number, A NUMBER to say that which you say you disregard at any level) that you have NEVER been clear on at all? And Reagen? Well, tell us!

"Thanks! I thought it was SOOOO appropriate."

It was indeed!

The pollution in the Third World is almost entirely due to First World industries implanted there because labor is so cheap and the governments cannot enforce safety and environmental laws, nor do they have the means to build the necessary infrastructures for keeping water clean or even water available to their people because their countries are bled dry by First World powers.

I hope you mean primarily the Chinese Commies.

No, the Chinese are merely following in the footsteps of the Americans.

You are a die-hard radical ideologue. A member of the BAF Club, one who would participate in the destruction of civilization and liberty. It is very clear with that statement.

Excreta bovines. You know not what you are bloviating about.

No, it is valid. You have been programmed well to give a response like that.

If anyone here is programmed and brainwashed, it is you.

LOL! Coming from the master of right-wing delusional clichés, to boot!

You mean cleaner than when Reagan was President no doubt. Seems to me our rivers and streams were once potable.

vierotchka is right on this one. Don't try to argue Mishima... won't work.

"You are a die-hard radical ideologue."

I was thinking that a person who spends as much time trolling a forum as you do is a pretty "die-hard radical ideologue."

News flash, the Chinese are captains of capitalism now.

They WERE .

Vierotchka is solid when it come to research , I would hate to argue with her , ever , actually , though it has happened . That is one of the great things about this site , lots of differing opinions and people who can explain them precisely . I have learned much .

Pardon my intrusion, but vierotchka is right, check out the 'whot's dat?' sign that
mishima posted. vierotchka doesn't speak in 'cliches.'

Would have to agree with vic...... writing an essay and posting something from
toobers doesn't always cut it.

LOL - they are also building discotheques.

You have a good over-view of this type of website. vierotchka, yes, it has occurred
with me as well when we 'argued'....... altho, Halloween doesn't always project good
vibes. vierotchka is well-read and knowledgeable. I've learned much too artemis6.
Good comment !

Why , thank you sah ! Well met !

Depends on the quality , some essays are WAY better than others ....

Yes, but it 'twould be 'ma'am, me notta 'sir.' lol :)

Can't deny that..........only problem is: the ones that write essays more like thesis' are
the ones that trouble one's mind. You know, dem dern long-winded know-it-alls. lol

Mam , it is then ! My Pardon .

Is saright.

The Chinese really started the free market reforms in the 1990s, and this brought countless millions in China out of poverty. As they move more towards the free market, they will grow and prosper. For us, if we stay with Liberal policies, the direction will only be downhill.

This is not my opinion. It is the verdict of history.

I ordered the book today. No kidding.

I saw the docu on this many times, hon, AND others on the same subject. I was under
assumptioin that heaps o' peeps are aware of this as well. You go to great lengths
to prove points, but that's saright,

What book? You post is at the beginning of new page. It's occurred several times
now.

Insight is spelled insight..........you have it as incite. Ah........so you DO make errors
master mishima.

I can comprehend that........... we're the laughin' stock of Europe with how screwed
up the U.S. is. Peace.

Well think about it..........calling ourselves a 'super power' when we're actually a
stupid power. Don't ya think that would cause other nations to begin to depise such a
pompous and megalomaniac attitude?
Better care.......... or war starts from there.

Then when you live in a tent on the desert and ask the ancient Sphynx, "If I asked
you to say something relevant, what would you reply?" The Sphnyx would break his
thousands of years silence and say, "DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH."

If you believe Europe is so great, please move there. I do not say that in the "love it or leave it" mentality, or even in any kind of anger. If a person thinks another place is better, there is only one reason why he or she would not move. And the reason is not a pretty one; it has to do with the character of the person.

Yes, international studies have clearly shown that Americans are the most generous people in the world. In fact, people in many countries are astounded at what many of our wealthy do. Take Gates, for example. The super-wealthy in other parts of the world would be sure to keep the wealth in the family. Rockefeller himself donated a huge portion of his income - throughout his ENTIRE life - to charities.

The Left-wingers will always look at this with their pathology of hatred for the successful and say there were underlying motivations of greed there someplace, but that is because of the malevolent ideology of theirs. Heck, I provide information that Walmart actually donated $2 BILLION to charities, and not a single Left-winger would recognize anything decent or good about that. This PROVES their hatred of success and the free market.

Good to see that you don't just make moronic generalizations and assumptions just about me regarding what country one prefers, not to mention simplifying complex issues in order to work them to favor your own twisted point of view.

No, it is best that America is the strongest military force in the world. Anyone who disagrees has no understanding of culture or history. We have that force and have not taken over any country. Do you think that China or Russia would have acted that way? You need to see the good where it is and stop hating your own country so much. From where do you get this hatred of the country that gave you liberty and opportunities?

That is right. Left-wingers want us to be "loved." Even if it means weakening ourselves internationally, if other countries can "like" us more, the Left-wingers would like to see us weak. This is not leadership at all. The Left has no idea how to lead.

Yet the "strongest military force in the world" has lost in every war it has waged since WWII, bar perhaps Reagan's ludicrous "war" on Grenada.

Because we have been too worried about world opinion. Won the Korean War, at least in the sense of keeping the south free of Lefist communists. But I suppose you think that we should not have fought the North Koreans; just America being evil and imperialist, right?

Let me remind you that the USA is still technically at war with North Korea, no peace treaty was reached, let alone signed. But the problem (for the USA) is that North Korea has nuclear weapons - an excellent deterrent.

"Let me remind you that the USA is still technically at war with North Korea, no peace treaty was reached, let alone signed."

Almost correct. North Korea is at war with South Korea, and America is right there to defend freedom.

"But the problem (for the USA) is that North Korea has nuclear weapons - an excellent deterrent."

The worry is more about the Chinese. We could probably do surgical strikes and blast away the nukes of this ignorant regmine, but how would China respond? MacArthur might have been right back in 1952: Nuke 'em.

So long as no peace treaty has been signed between the USA and North Korea, the USA is still officially at war with North Korea. South Korea is a vassal state indentured to and dependent on the USA. It serves as a buffer between the USA and North Korea.

So-called "surgical" strikes (something the USA boasts about but performs very poorly indeed) on North Korea's nuclear sites would contaminate South Korea and even Japan and other countries with nuclear fallout, thus make millions of "collateral" victims. That would be an extremely stupid thing to do.

More BAF nonsense. Move to North Korea. You know absolutely nothing about this part of the world. You are insular and brainwashed.

{So-called "surgical" strikes (something the USA boasts about but performs very poorly indeed) on North Korea's nuclear sites would contaminate South Korea and even Japan and other countries with nuclear fallout, thus make millions of "collateral" victims.}

Then we should have nuked 'em when we had the chance back in 1952

Insular? LOL! Uh, the one living on an island is you, not me! As for brainwashed, you are a textbook example of that!
