Are YOU hypnotized by the drone of conformist consumerism?

...It blows my mind...infants are sweet souls born to love and live and share.

Do we teach them the most fundamental of all truths...that the garden is our mother?

[FONT=&quot]No! [/FONT]we sit their young, loving, trusting, innocent little asses in front of the great-big-glowing-box-thingy...turn the channel to the Pit bull Bible Thumper's latest rendition of the Hypnotic Zombie Chant...set the timer to a lifetime...flip the program switch to ON and distract them while we go away to have more me-me’s.

Our babies learn to hear the words even when there is no sound!

Conform…compete…consume…breed…
conform…compete…consume…breed…
conform…compete…consume…breed…
conform…compete…consume…breed…

conform!

The circle is unbroken!

 

While what you're saying is essentially true, you might get a better response if you said it without sounding like a raving lunatic. If you are capable of such.

 

Even crazy people can type. I've seen it first hand with this girl I used to know.

 

Believe me, I'm well aware that idiotic, imbalanced, insane, and unreasonable people can type (to a degree, at least). I might not hate the internet so much if not for them.

 

They are like spice to the internet.

 

Only the chef had a hangover and put too much spice, and it's that stuff that makes you sneeze for hours after eating it.

 

[FONT=&quot]Brother Zorba the Grape,
Raving? Lunatic?
Me?
I see it and hear it everywhere...on the TV’s, in our churches, in our schools in our bedrooms…!
Conform, compete, consume, breed...conform, compete, consume, breed... conform, compete, consume, breed..
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]You can't hear it?
Me nuts?
Peace and love,

Just in case you didn't catch that the first time.

 

my television is unplugged and buried behind piles of garbage in the basement

[cool and safe and quiet]

this is my first and only post in the tv section

[hopefully my last]

one of the things that is interesting about tv advertising in a small town is -

what if the nearest macdonalds is 50 miles away?

[long walk]

 

Yo if you got a beef with Bambi or Mickey Mouse, we can take this outside and settle it bro.

 

I thought it was a well written piece of prose. Maybe its because i agree with him, or maybe its because im a little crazy like that.

 

Actually, he doensn't sound like a "raving lunatic" at all. He sounds like a passionate person who is fed up with the pre-prescribed status quo. If you took into consideration the whole idea of "human emotion", maybe you'd be a bit more understanding, yes?

 

From reading some of your other posts, I would have assumed that you would have some respect for the concept of stating your views in a clear and concise way, without drama.

 

He was clear and concise...and also dramatic. What's wrong with a little drama, as long as it's based in fact? Drama can be fun! Now if he was saying it to a bunch of little brainwashed teenagers who only watch garbage TV, then yeah, he's have to tone it down a bit. But c'mon, he was just venting his frustration on an online forum!

 

tv is a good pass time for laughing entertainment with movies and all but if you need something from it then watch the channels that will teach you something like animal planet or those other ones with the history thoughts of people on different parts of the world or new constructions that the humans are making and advancing on

but other then that dont get sucked into it that much

 

i hardly watch tv anymore. havent watched any today either. but all that time i was doing homework and then on the computer. of course i watch youtube also, but there i can control what im watching, ya know?

 

if your gonna watch tv, do it the right way- by ripping it off. download any episodes of any shows you wanna see from torrent files.

you can and will find any show you want to download and watch to your heart's content and still not be consumed by the media masses.. as a matter of fact youll be fucking them!

if you really wanna be a bastard, get a media center to network to your computer so you can watch them all on your tv, sittin on your couch and still be a true hippie. hell, you could even say your making a statement and be political about the shit. Ive been doin it forever and i still enjoy getting no commercials and fucking corporate america in the ass! - as well as the ppl who say you shouldn't watch TV

 

If you dont feel like downloading and dont mind watching shows on your computer go here:

TVShack

And watch as much as you possibly can-- be all the TV pirate you can be!! SHOW THOSE FUCKERS!!!!

BTW, while your there check out trailer park boys. They have all 7 glorious seasons just waiting for anyone whos never seen them.

 

whats that show about toker?

 

it's a wonderful, wonderful mockumentary style show about the lives of 3 guys who grew up together in a trailer park in northern ontario, canada. They make a living committing small crimes and growing & selling weed and hash. The main characters are ricky, a guy who lives in a car. julian, this guy whom you NEVER see without a rum & coke in one hand, and bubbles, a guy who lives in a shed with his 20-something kitties.

In each episode, they quarrel with the drunk alcoholic ex-cop trailer park supervisor and his "partner". The police always end up getting involved and they end up going in and out of jail... often.. and always for a dumb reason. Usually, they go to jail at the end of the season and in the next season they return to the trailer park to face the changes that have happened since they were gone.

The show is hilarious, the plots of each season have tons of depth and the characters are fuckin dynamic. It is the best show i have ever seen and probably will ever see and the only one i can say one can truly get sucked into.

Anyone who smokes weed will find something to relate to in this show and it is so good, you will start to wish sunnyvale trailer park was a real place with these characters in real life so you could at least visit it. Anyone who doesn't watch the entire series is truly missing out. trust me. watch it all.
