c u r r e n t death

U can say something like this, and my 'comment' gets 'Hidden' ????

HUGE HUGs 4 U as well !

( I am surprised to see responses to this post, at such a late date ! )

~weirdness.

{hugs}

I as well!

Personal message me when you have your finish what you have to say about this. I like to chime in before it goes black.

Ring-ring - Wot can't u say to all of us that is just reserved for the
remanns of the day?
No netiquette .

...I haven't been around for a while for a myriad of reasons, but let me say, that people like you, are a profound reason WHY...I have no idea who you are, but for some unexplained and obscure reason, you choose to attack; why is that?...it is a sad and regrettable aspect of who you are as a person, and will only result your isolation, my friend...try to be kind to everyone,...

WILL DO !

Guess again, I wuz lookin' thru Updates and it's 1-21, so why u say this?

I think its just a slow shut down. But it WOULD be nice . . . . (uhm,...sort of,....not sure with this sort of diminished function its worth it,.....I LIKE finding peoples POST history . . . )

I'm starting to think you're right. I can't see the new management using this type of format.

Here's hoping that something good comes from it all. I still think this forum is one of the best models out there, and it would be a true shame if they let it go to waste.

agreed. +^d fingers crossed - tightly !!!

( I wish, I WISH,....upon a star ! )

Underground -- with the ciccadah's.

We noticed.

But u don't like responding, like to Pronuncition where your entire family name
history was set down painstakingly by myself.

Thanx fer nuthin'.

Hope floats, like 100% pure Ivory soap.

Make sure it's a star.

It is soooooooooo strange to be getting hits on this post at this time,.....wow.

This is from the 5th of January !!!

sort a kewl, though !

( also sort of surprised there IS still a c u r r e n t site on the internet ; I expected it to be extinct by now !!! )

January 5th is my birthday..........YAY.

And I will be extinct soon.........and what gives u the right to be so high-horse to
hate me and talk so crummi to an elder?

I never did anything to you. Wow.....my faith in humanity has been restored....
NOT.

bah - humbug

May 5th is mine,....sooooooo,....U B older, as a JAN birther !!! I mock U with my spryness and youther virility ! HAH !

Tak, good idea.

Glad you are still here, remanns! :)

I will be hanging out here until they turn out the lights [ at c u r r e n t ],

. . . .but I think I hear the footsteps down the hall . . . .

( - never meant to give the impression that I was going to personally abandon ship,....just that the ship IS going down ! . . .glug glub , , , , , , , plooosh. )

LOL! Gallows humor is always welcome around here. I'm glad you're hanging aroud until the bitter end :)

Get that Abacus off de shelf, we may need it !

I don't have time to check, but is it 'Tattered OId Flag' by Johnny Cash, or am I

unequivocally wrong again? I try...... my how I try. tear tricklin'....... naw, just

taking bleery eyed part.

Disregard my weary post below........I scrutinized the link and see it's not a toobers.

' What do you, when there's a trap set up for you, in every corner of this town,
and so you learn, the only way to go is, through the roof, underground.

And as we crossing, border after border, we realize the the difference is none.'

Wristcutters

S.O.S. Save Our Souls or Save Our Ship ?

What's May Day, May Day? For aviation purpose distress?

I will miss you

I'll miss ya remanns!

I will miss you too, Jennifer.

More like hangin' out like a bat in an attic, hearing footsteps down the hall to come
and rip ya down.

You were on the Titantic?

A nice review of the history. +^d Salute, revered senior master.

I can understand your disappointment, even though I am not a long-time member.

The concept of citizen journalism is great (Al Jazeera does have a strong track record on that).

Unfortunately, at least since I have been here, many of the contributions on Current seemed to be not so much "citizen journalism" as links to MSM reports -- some even from the likes of such rightwing media such as FoxNews or the DailyMail. Or second-hand from HuffingtonPost,

Yes, there were some original articles -- DeliaTheArtist's delightful and well researched series on the suffragettes springs to mind here, as does a recent video on the little-known German community in Jamaica (sorry, forgot who posted it) -- but many were little more than rambling self-promoting "opinion" videos better suited to YouTube.

We make of it what we can.

the contributions today or rather as they have been for the past several years were never meant to be citizen journalism because Current TV was no longer accepting them. This place became just a forum to either post your own stuff or news items for discussion mainly just for the members as it wasn't going any where. This is basically just another forum whereas before it wasn't.

Before contributions was the main goal with discussions being a distant second. There weren't many self-promoting opinion vlogs back then. Those didn't get many votes nor support from the staff. Like I said, it was a completely different animal back then. what you see here though slicker is nothing at all what the old Current was both site and channel.

Thanks, dave... I wasn't aware of the original format. It's a shame that didn't get off the ground (or was stifled). Perhaps all the more reason to be cheerful about this latest turn of events.

As the Culture Vulture wheels over the land, casting shadows, hatching plans,
and the judges have blood on their hands.

current tv became the same as any other biased, manipulating news media. they created their own downfall nobody should mourn this corrupt station focused more on money and biased political agenda.

If their is no "c u r r e n t" - it would seem problematic for them to maintain an on-line c u r r e n t presence.

I personally have nothing against the TV change - but I rather like this web site - - - and it has already been made impossible to access all of ones old posts with a "search"
( they have gutted their search engine mechanics ) so I cant just quickly grab some of my writing floating around out there any-more, didn't see that quick change coming.

Well, it seems there won't be a "current" as they intend to change the name to Al Jazeera America.
Maybe there will be a comments section. Maybe they will maintain the user-generated content of this section. I guess it remains to be seen.
But, even if they scrap this aspect of it, it seems a small price to pay to get decent access to international news from a relatively unbiased (no such thing as completely unbiased) network that was so vehemently and aggressively opposed by the Bush administration as a "propaganda organization" just because its coverage did not always show US military intervention abroad in a positive light .

I am afraid I just don't have that much difficulty researching "news",......but ol' c u r r e n t on line was, once upon a time at least, really a FINE "variety channel" as it were, and personally I find that a more rewarding and valuable resource than, well,....ANY "TV".

I do miss Caprica and Battlestar Galactica though.

NPR and the internet is really enough for news. Well,....the emergency broadcast system has its place.

Some of the members have been a part of the Current Community for a very long time. It seems only natural and human that a certain attachment has grown out of that. What is faced is the unknown and that seems to be the point that many are making here. It is the looming "death" or end to what we know.

This place is not only words, opinions and articles it is fueled with passion. Some days it's like a bad soap opera and other days I've witnessed a community reaching out to members who might have been in harms way or are suffering through a crisis.

Current is unique in it's format as far as I know, where you are allowed to post articles; join, create and add to different categories of interest. There were a few shows I viewed on Current TV, most are gone. Change happens, it's inevitable.

So, we'll see what happens.

Thanks Remanns for putting up this thread.

I, too, have noticed that the search features within Community aren't working like they used to; I wonder if it's just part of the recent changes since the AJ announcement.

You are most welcome !

I think they are just starting to shut off some of the servers - dumping data n such.
( they COULD always see fit to TELL us . . . ) +^d

I agree, remanns, it would be nice to *know*. But, it's possible that's in a fluid situation, too? Just thinkin' out loud.

You can find some episodes on youtube already !!!

It's GOOD !

kewl ! My inner fanboy is MUCH jazzed !

ACE analogy ! ! Applause...........

Thanks, matka.

Right there.........couldn't someone contact staff like on GetSatisfaction< sigh.........
and suggest that.......' ya can't always get what ya want, but if you try sometimes,

ya get what ya need.' < their motto? yuh-shoore , uh....pause for more applause.

Great fun. Watched them all.

That is a very COOL analogy, tanzanitediamonds !

We want brrrrraaaiinsss!

heh. +^d

They brought it back...

There's none in short supply here.

The fact that Algebra was invented in the Muslin world has always impressed me . Before the crusades they seemed to seek understanding of all creation . I think the Terrible effect the crusades had may well have radicalized the power structures of the Muslim world faster than they would have done themselves . Look what the Christians did to Copernicus and Galileo . Top down power structures collect and focus power . They mutate into aristocracy over time . Current is kind of lateral . Less prone to the evils of fascism i think . It remains to be seen what happens next .

'Never stop dreaming'.......... so right you are. We're all stars twinkling in the galaxy

of sadness and madness.

I second the motion of those crossing fingers ! +^d

Yep.

I'll 3rd it. We can break the spell !

i just watched this 4 hr documentary yesterday...
great stuff
the music took me back
lol

Harrison had the rare quality of humility in one so talented and fine. Tak, .....sigh.

Life is a series of losses.

Right On. +^d
