Oppression can be stealthy. This is a relatively novel concept though. Let me back up my idea a little. The only thing that is worse than the oppression you feel on your back like an anvil overhead ready to crush you if you stray from the path of least resistance, is oppression that hides the fact that the anvil is dangerously close and hanging by ( Read more... )

I agree with certain things you said, and disagree with others (but don't feel like arguing). But I want to go live on a commune now.

Yeah, according to my analogy it is sinking and we have no other boat to choose from! But in all seriousness, one day you will understand what I'm talking about... I'll find a way to explain it to the both of you so that it clicks...

Thanks for taking the time to read this though, I know it was brutally long. Hopefully it was entertaining as well.

You know a big reason why I didn't post for over a week was that discussion we had. I couldn't sleep all night because I was thinking of exactly how I could explain to you what is happening in regards to the relationship between sex and consumerism. I think I had a pretty good response lined up (I even ran it by defrocked), but in the end I felt intimidated by what I perceived would be the length of the post (it probably would have been longer than this one), so I decided against it.

The situation was further exasperated because I had formulated another post in my mind about another subject from the same night. I believe that subject would require an essay longer than the cumulation of this one and the one never written. The whole process was exhausting and I never wrote a word.

As a side note this is a big reason why I didn't want dutchman04 as a friend. I felt that I would have to write an endless amount of essays explaining concepts that I feel are simple, but require an intricate execution of language to be properly explained. I think this alone ( ... )

On certain subjects, you can write as much as you want, but I'll never agree with you. Not out of spite or stubbornness, but just because I think you're wrong. That doesn't mean that either of us knows the one sure Truth for real and for certain.

Let's buy an island! I'm so in.
