beating_up_dumb_kids freakizh it's sad. i do it all the time. i use my sharp tongue which only works under that circumstances. they are all so innocent and cloned like. i feel sorry for them. but at the same time, i love to hear them crying. their cry is so pure, their pain is so natural, they remind me of how simple it is to feel. today, someone asked me if i do it to show how important and intelligent i feel over those crashtestdummies. and i thought. and i knew the answer is no. i do it because, as pure and natural as the pain is, provoking it, is too. 020727 ... daxle this kid behind me had a spikey bracelet on. it was repetedly slammed into my back until I had time to look back. I put his hand down for him since he seemed not to be able to do it himself. somehow it ended up again. that's about when my elbow ended up in his gut. 020727 ... Kid with spiky bracelet Oof 020727 ... phil today 020729 ... Strideo I like beating_up_def_kids, they never hear me coming. ... 080902 ... dafremen I wonder how many law enforcement officers these acts have helped to create? How many paranoid citizens who'll pass any law for protection from their childhood memories of being abused verbally and physically? I wonder how many were later victimized by those victims, as they grew up, worked out their bodies and brains...and thought they were being strong by doing to others...what was done to them? I wonder how much damage thoughtless acts like these have done to create the problems that many folks bitch about today? That's Karma for ya..and that's the way it goes around. Have fun with the tazer nazis.. 080903 ... tourist In a Perfect World, Filled With Compassionate Christ-like Buddhas, The only Government Function Would Be Co-ordinating The Flow Of Resources To Facilitate Equality, And Alieviate Suffering From Natural Disasters. Free Your Minds The Rest Will Follow 080903 ... Strideo "Co-ordinating The Flow Of Resources To Facilitate Equality" Oh yuck! Yay! A world run by government fascists who decide who gets to have what stuff. What a utopia! ... 080903 ... tourist You Missed My Point Strideo My Lad. If All Of Us Were Enlightened Beings In Tune With It All, Government Would Be Unnessessary, And Would Resemble More A Place Of Informational Exchange To Meet The Needs Of The Common Good. We Would Gladly Give Anything We Were Using To Anyone In Need, Sharing The World While Owning None Of It. But What The Hell Have I Been Smoking? 080903 ... margaux i was smart and got beat up. 080903 ... Strideo I dunno . . . I guess if we we're all enlightened we would learn to share or give to those in need of our own free will. Then there would be no need for the government to force to make us contribute. Would we even need the government to oversee the distribution of these altruistic donations in a perfect world? 080903 ... Strideo oops! that should be "if we were" and not "if we we're". dumb grammar mistake! ... 080903 ... tourist In No Place Did I Use The Word, Or Insinuate "Force", It Is Natural For Anyone Using The Current Model To Assume That This Is The Only Way A "Government" Can Operate, But In The Case Of Many Small Tribal Societies Decisions Concerning The Common Good Are Discussed And Decisions Arrived At By Concensus Rather Than Legislation. The Individual Either Follows The Current Wisdom, Or Not. If Not They Are Expected To Handle Things "On Their Own", And So Loose The Advantages Of Shared Reward Along With Shared Responsibility. The Only "Force" Applied Is The Respect And Honor Of Being A Good Human Being. This Said, I Know That We Are All Too Focused On Our Own Individual Struggles To Achieve Such A State, This Is Simply A Hypothetical Exercise. In The Current Model, Such Altruism Is Only Repaid With Greed, And When You Have Given Everything, The Recipients Are Often Pissed Off When They Can't Get Any More. I'm Not Really As Stupid As I Sound, I Just Want To "Believe" In A Brighter Future, But I Ain't Holdin' My Breath. 080903 ... daf Things will change. Nothing has changed about what is coming. No prescience is required. The seeds of a new way will be planted come the great_earth_changes..come the turning_away. Hope to see you then. 080905 what's it to you? who go blather from
