    I agree another Woodstock won't be the same, that's no ignorance indeed, on the contrary, that's quite logical thinking. You're pretty ignorant though, if you think there's nothing to fight for nowadays.

    It probably is, but since there still is a lot of hate, problems and injustice there's a lot to improve, right. The fact that most people don't improve anything because they have it pretty good themselves is a problem on itself.

    Educate yourself.​

    There was plenty of bullshit back in the 60's-70's, there's probably even more bullshit nowadays. The bullshit never stops.​

    Bullshit Detection System - BDS
    Protective Immunity For
    The Mind & Soul
    By Bahram Maskanian




    Definition of Bullshit: Bullshit is a bogus statement deliberately presented as being true. Bullshit is something meant to deceive and to give a wrong misleading impression. Bullshit is an act, or attempt to mislead and deceive others by making a lie highly believable as fact. Exactly as it is done in show business, where a professional Bullshit Artist fools us into believing what he or she wants us to believe. The so-called movie stars / actors are good examples of whom and what Bullshit Artists are and do. To make it crystal-clear and better understand how high quality bullshit is manufactured, watch TV advertisements and programs, or see movie, or watch and listen to any religious mullah, or government, or business official speak. We are equipped with a biological immune system, which fights off infection by foreign pathogens and defends our physical being against any foreign invader. We are also armed with a common sense immune system, which protects us against the invaders of the mind and soul. One may refer to it as, - Common Sense Wisdom, - or - Intuition, - or - Sixth Sense, - or - Gut Feeling, - but I like to call it, - Bullshit Detection System - or BDS for short. On a daily basis we are bombarded with so much bullshit at every level and at every second of every waking moment of our lives. So I thought it would be a jolly good idea to recognize the intricate functionality of our BDS and to learn how to use, enhance and strengthen our - Bullshit Detection System - BDS. Whenever you are reading, listening or watching any piece of information presented to you as fact or truth, but deep down inside you are feeling an uneasy sensation about it, that is your BDS at work, which means one of the following two conditions is true: 1 - The subject matter could be true but since you do not know enough about it, your BDS kicks in, and alerts you that you need to educate yourself about the suspect subject matter. When you are investigating and educating yourself always read the pros and cons, and you shall come to your own healthy conclusions, not of the very well paid preacher, historians, authors or reporters of the misleading text, or the very well paid deceptive talking heads and opinion makers of the nation-less corporate media. Discovering the truth for yourself is wise, everlasting, tremendously rewarding, satisfying and priceless. Discovering the truth for yourself is a powerful guiding light, which will enhance and brighten your future and the future of the community in which you live. 2 - The presenters of that piece of information, the well-paid news anchors, writers, historians, preachers , authors or reporters of the misleading text or the deceptive talking heads and opinion makers of the nation-less corporate media are full of shit and they are after your citizen power, money, vote, or all of what you own. We should never lose sight of the fact that lack of trust for our built-in BDS, or any efforts to suppress our BDS will lead us into the path of ethical and social degradation; a society full of stupid brain-dead people under complete domination of a few bullshit-artist, who themselves are under the spell of higher bullshit curse: greed. Reflective Mind - Reflective minds are those who suppress their BDS, essentially training and forcing their minds to function as a reflective mind. This means only reflecting, just like a mirror, the thoughts and findings of others, however wrong and stupid they maybe, as viable ideas and even sometimes believing them as their own. Analytical Mind - Analytical minds are those who value their mind's cognitive abilities and sense of self-definition and tend to do what needs to be done. They study the pros and cons, then sit back, analyze their findings, and come to their own healthy conclusion. We must always think critically of all authorities, issues and personalities all the time. But the bullshit dispensers of our time, such as; nation-less corporations, religious mullahs of the three Adam and Eve based religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam, easily controlled academia talking heads, politicians and Hollywood high quality bullshit production machine want us not to think at all, or at best, just think passively. Incidentally, the finer and better fabricated the bullshit, the more difficult it would be to detect it. Speaking of the mother and grand prizewinner of best bullshit; next to history, are the three (3) Adam and Eve based religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which happen to be the three (3) top ranking of the most effective and long lasting bullshit ever manufactured by the mankind of all time. Caution, NOT THINKING CRITICALLY is extremely hazardous to your health, health of your family and well being of your community, therefore please do not believe a word I said here, go and do your own reading and thinking. And remember not to ever permit anyone to manipulate your thoughts, emotions and behavior. We must never stop Self-Education. It must continue until the last day of our lives, the graduation day. http://www.venusproject.com/ecs/Bullshit_Detection_System.html
    Comment Jim Mortellaro Dear Mr. Moskaroni, You sure had me going there for a bit. I was agreeing with you until that next to last paragraph. That the biggest bullshit ever invented by the mind of man was Adam and Eve based religions. That's where you lost me, Mr. Macaroni. Here, let's comment. There are many in this world who do not agree with religion's dictums. Being raised as a Catholic, it is very hard for me to discard that which I was taught as a child. But, after 63 years, 8 months, thirteen days and about 2 hours, I began to think. People have stopped thinking, using their intellects, stopped using (and perhaps even lost) their common sense. It's a fact, it's natchal, everything ain't satisfactchal. However this next to last sentence was: 1) Unnecessary 2) Insulting to hundreds of millions of believers 3) Unnecessary 4) Not PC. No, I do not refer to 'politically correct,' I refer to people who contradict. PC. People like you, who cannot carry on a dialog, cannot write an essay, cannot abide the one thing in this world which would save us all, cannot acknowledge even the thought of there being a Supreme Being, cannot be sensible, cannot ... etc., etc., etc. As a big fan of sense common, I would correct your prejudice and rethink your ability to denigrate that which most of us practice. And that would be the Bullshit Detection ability to which you reefer. Refer, sorry. In conclusion, Mr. Macadamian, thank you for an otherwise excellent piece of Bullshit. Yours in bullshit, Jim Mortellaro, Ph.D., MBA, M.O.U.S.E. - COME LEWED. Otherwise known as Morty Jim Mortellaro, AKA, Morty.

    So there's no reason to gather for a protest or to celebrate peace?

    By the way, you did put it like this:

    And there's a lot more to fight against then the war in Iraq.

    Well yeah, I think Woodstock is kind of pointless with bands like Metallica and such. If it would be with the right music it could be quite good. But I think it's better to have a new peace, love and music festival.

    I've only read the first post here..
    but are you trying to say bring back the late 60's?

    I would love that, but every month a "let's start a new revolution" post is up. In the LSD forum, one user wanted everyone to start passing out acid for free to "revive" the hippies. I say the best way to start another hippie decade would be just protesting war in REALLY large groups--at least enough to get the media's attention.

    Exactly- the whole point i was starting this with is lets use the media- to our advantage. I hate the media, but what if we get enough attention to show that peace is still being asked for. And hey budy, the US may have a lot of problems, but don't forget to some of us, THIS IS HOME.

    I don't knoe whether anyone claims that a large music festival has any direct advantage to others, but it is emblematic. The hippies at woodstock get grief for claiming to have made a difference, but they didn't DO much. I'm assuming that was the exact point...they showed that you can BE without having to DO. They helped show that "productivity" might be nothing more than "activity.."

    I don't know about them, but my attitude about the current world is that it's not that we need to tweak our ways to make it more livable, but that all that we do, down to flushing the toilet, putting on socks, stuff you wouldn't even consider peculiar....all are just symptoms of a deeply rooted perversion that our civilization is based in. And that is convenience and protection from the hardships of the natural world. Our way of life is so ineffably and radically artificial, that a demonstration like a woodstock is an appropriate adverse radical action emphasizing unity, love, contentment, and the ability to allow living, breathing, feeling to be ends unto themselves, without dependence on world that was built before us and without the prescribed potentials we inherit.

    I don't know if it's effective or not as a tool of persuasion to the oblivious. I find that the only real and effective way to show others the folly of civilization is to befriend them in an unassuming way, to create curiosity about your philosophies by incremental disclosure of profound truths...once the person realizes you're a bit of a guru and you know what you're saying, more comprehensive education can take place. I don't really see mainstream people as getting a woodstock-type event; how would they find that appealing? Start with milk, then move on to meat....

    hey everyone, i can see this is a big topic, but dont forget that this is everyones responsibility, from the little to the big. Another thing is, i dont think the message will go out with anti war stuff.... i live in an army town so i could be bias, but i know so many people whos dads have extended their contracts with the army just to fight their. i herd a great quote the other day
    "it is not war we need to stop, its the idea of war itself"

    However may i sugest that global warming is the way to get the message out. there are already meetings around the world going on and we could join forces and then get statistics on how much war is contributing to global warming and bring the message out that way. what do people think?
