Eminem's Mosh
Topic: Arts 11:16 am EDT, Oct 28, 2004

I tend to really like eminem. This is good. I think he would have had another secret service visit though if he'd not put the little twist at the end.

Yeah... this rocks. I've never been moved by eminem before... it's infact really really good.

If you can't get it at guerrilla news try this one: http://www.ifilm.com/viralvideo?ifilmid=2654122

sure its a bit useless (though I'm sure someone has thought of a reason for this), but you gotta love that sort of project...

I read the transcript before I saw the footage. I did not get a sense of the hostility in the air. I would have loved to see Stewart strangle that republican fuck with his bow tie. Did you see his hands at the end? He wanted to, bad.

George Orwell: Notes on Nationalism
Topic: Society 6:39 pm EDT, Aug  3, 2004

] By "nationalism" I mean first of all the habit of
] assuming that human beings can be classified like insects
] and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of
] people can be confidently labelled "good" or "bad." But
] secondly -- and this is much more important -- I mean the
] habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or
] other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and
] recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its
] interests. Nationalism is not to be confused with
] patriotism. Both words are normally used in so vague a
] way that any definition is liable to be challenged, but
] one must draw a distinction between them, since two
] different and even opposing ideas are involved. By
] "patriotism" I mean devotion to a particular place and a
] particular way of life, which one believes to be the best
] in the world but has no wish to force on other people.
] Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily
] and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is
] inseperable from the desire for power. The abiding
] purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and
] more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or
] other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own
] individuality

I agree, its one thing to protest, its something entirely different to try to fight for your rights, like free assembly, and free speech by denying people at the RNC those exact same rights...

as far as I'm conserned if your free assembly and free speech turns into anarchy designed to limit the free speech and free assembly of others then you are not helping the fight for freedom...

the real thing these people are fighting for isn't freedom, they have it, and they would have republicans striped of those same freedoms because they dont agree with republican politics...no what they're really after is a totalitarian society that they themselves control, where they can deside who has rights and who doesnt...

we dont live in that society yet, and until we do these people have no place telling the republicans, or anyone for that matter which rights they have, and which rights they have to give up...

people like CrimeThinc and Shapeshifter (from HOPE 5) often like to describe the current administration (or anyone they disagree with really) by bringing up Orwell and 1984...Orwell wrote lots of things, almost all in one way or another related to totalitarianism, nationalism, etc...when I hear the tired BS retoric of these guys using the bannor of peace and freedom to make their case I think of something else that Orwell wrote in "Notes on Nationalism" in May 1945...I'll post a link to the full document to my memestream but for now this section sums up these guys pretty well for me...

"5. PACIFISM The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to the taking of life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point. But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists whose real though unadmitted motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration of totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writings of younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States. Moreover they do not as a rule condemn violence as such, but only violence used in defense of western countries. The Russians, unlike the British, are not blamed for defending themselves by warlike means, and indeed all pacifist propaganda of this type avoids mention of Russia or China. ... [ Read More (0.2k in body) ]

Semen acts as an anti-depressant
Topic: Science 4:12 pm EST, Mar  1, 2004

] Semen makes you happy. That's the remarkable conclusion
] of a study comparing women whose partners wear condoms
] with those whose partners don't.
]
] The study, which is bound to provoke controversy, showed
] that the women who were directly exposed to semen were
] less depressed. The researchers think this is because
] mood-altering hormones in semen are absorbed through the
] vagina. They say they have ruled out other explanations.
]
] "I want to make it clear that we are not advocating that
] people abstain from using condoms," says Gordon Gallup,
] the psychologist at the State University of New York who
] led the team. "Clearly an unwanted pregnancy or a
] sexually transmitted disease would more than offset any
] advantageous psychological effects of semen."
