    I ain't mad, its just that me and Shiekah have...ideological differences. TBH. Also, the social context of a forum does inspire a disconnect that isn't there in real life. Anyway, I'll take that post as a compliment. As for Danny: Capital punishment won't solve anything, what needs to change is the entire social structure, but to be honest, holding out for this kind of overhaul is fairly idealistic. I probably won't go into it here, since my views are fairly polemic, as always.

    You should be fine if you've prepared. They give you ages to answer every question, enough to dig into your memory and find the answers. Good luck .

    I love stroking my own ego, I'll freely admit it, and theres no irony in it, because hey, thats just the way I am. The difference is that I'm not mystified into thinking that people (myself included) are wondrous, morally altruistic spirits. Bumbaclart.

    Your idiocy is so dazzling that its burning me in the face. Of course, this is one of the fundamental tenets of people who are incapable of functioning mentally on the level of ideas; you discard everything that you can't understand as bullshit. Unfortunately I have neither the time, nor the patience to explain the fundamentals of human psychology/ philosophy to someone like you. Instead, go look up "Perspectivism" and then "Objectivism." Come back when you actually understand the implications of both, you delirious dick ripple.

    I love you. But then I have a particular bone to pick with the way the law is enforced anyway. Prison terms do nothing to "rehabilitate" criminals, and the isolation from society only furthers their alienation and myopia. The punishment system is just a punitive act of vengeance on the part of those who can't understand those that would oppose their idiotic social dogmas. Because infliction of suffering is pleasurable and the current legal structire is a justification for extracting some sort of payment for lack of conformity (and simulataneously an extrapolation of a human being's inability to understand someone elses subjective sensibility), and a hilarious inversion of the ideals the law is supposed to uphold in the first place. The law is treating the symptom, not the disease, and is pretty much a haven for those who would fuel their egos through their concept of a certain moral objectivism, which, quite frankly, is absurdity in its ideal form.

    Why do you want to join the police force?

    I don't want to like it, but there's something great about the cookie dough sickly sweetness of RHCP's post Blood Sugar Sex catalogue. Scar Tissue FTW/L. Fuck it, It's rad. Edit: Actually, no, most of it's guff. Something so reminiscent of... awesomeness...in this shit: Ah Bloody Beetroots...too bad it was all ruined by this:

    Note to self: Whenever anyone calls you pretentious, point them in the direction of Plato's cave allegory. Either that or a meat grinder.

    For international students its a hell of a lot worse. £13,000 a year for my gf, since she's from Singapore.

    What's dawg? Anyway, I have made up my mind that I am just not Dionysian enough. Moar alcohol. Less bullshit.

    God, I've had enought of shaving cuts. Gonna start rockin the chin strap.

    From last nights shenanigans: Listening to some particularly heavy wobble, and throwing those pistol hands in teh air.

    Freud says No. How many people does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but the lightbulb has to want to change.

    I'm fucking hungover from last night too. I didn't even have much to drink. Eurrrrgh.

    Aside from that (which is an argument that I could write a dissertation on), do you really want to believe in something that holds the utmost revulsion for what makes you what you are? For all the best in humanity? No. Fuck god, fuck him and all his bullshit, up the ass with a meat hook.

    Oh my god Letty. That is actually ridiculous. And supremely rad. I wonder why you'd tattoo something with such a distinctive lack of personality on yourself though. You must have enormous testicles

    Haha, that girl, such a prankster =p. Seriously though, I was worried, cause her parents are Catholic and everything.

    My gf tells me she believes in God. And not just any god, an abrahmic god. Anathema. Either our relationship has been maintained under a mutual misunderstanding, or she's pulling my leg. Oh man, I'm not a fan of god.

    The Hurt Locker: First thing; it had that guy from House MD and The Assination of Jesse James, and Papa Doc from 8 Mile. Two excellent indicators of quality right there . Anyway, I'm no film critic, and I can't give you a half decent breakdown of why this film has the overwhelming effect that it does, but perhaps thats why its one of the best things I've seen for a while. Pulls off the feeling of imminent threat/death very well, and a couple scenes that I found particularly poignant were 1. When he was with his son, talking to him about how disillusionment comes with age, and how his Jack in The Box will be nothing more than a tin box with a spring. 2. How his disillusionment affects the way he tackles choices; for example in the scene in the supermarket in front of the cereal boxes. The character of James was rad. Anyway, probably the best thing I've seen for a while/10

    You know what that needs? Put a bangin' donk on it.

    Trials 2: This is the most punitive and addictive game ever. Also the most aptly named. A physics based game where you control a motorcyclist from a 2D perspective and manuever him through a series of obstacles, except these obstacles are placed in such a way, and the implementation of inertia so exaggerated that completing a course is really a meaure of testicular fortitude. This is not a game that exceeds the sum of its parts; it has nothing to do with any of its parts. Any enjoyment of this game is an abstraction, because what you really are enjoying is the punishment you're inflicting on yourself. Its a tool for exacting vengeance on every heinous moral crime you have ever committed. It will absolve you of your sins. And by that measure, it is Jesus. On a scale of 1 to Awesome, its Super Great.

    Thankfully, my brain fires words at a rate an alternate reality version of Chamillionaire with tourettes would be envious of. It will result in 10,000 words worth of the most garbled mess you can imagine. Except I cannot be arsed tbh atm. No deadlines? Barsteward.

    Balls, three essays to do that I was totally unaware of, within the space of 5 days. Fortunately, two of them I can do with relative ease since one is on Milton, and the other on Nietzsche, both of whom I have a decent knowledge of, only problem is that you have to do background research from journal articles and shit, which I truly cba, and then, the third essay from my Fiction and Narrative module is so utterly nebulous and hopelessly unexciting that I may as well kill myself.

    Awesome sauce. Getting to see Baroness in a week and a half, its gonna be unholy.

    In recent light, I need to annex Company of Heroes to my list. Also: Fuck, I'm gonna need to set up my Wii and give ol F-Zero a spin, loved that game.
