Re:We will see what an oracle isn’t and what I believe it is…
I finally found someone who lableled the generation of shaping or as advertisers like to make them feel that way.
Generation Me…. I looove it.
The answer to why posters get so personal and nasty; because that can’t take rejection and don’t hear “no” very well.
Ah, wimpy wimpy wimpy…..
And newsflash!….. the world is a complex sometimes cruel but never boring place…. AND it’s NOT all about you.
Living in this culture where war is so remote from your everyday life that video games full of war and violence don’t sicken you truly shows how screwed up our psyche is and WTF are we transferring to generation next.
I have generation next brothers and sisters and i see them struggling; but i have to let them find out for themselves; and cannot avert their eyes from what is truly there.
Some people love evil, some love goodness, unfortunately we sometimes place lovers of power and evil in places of power.
It is the fault of all of us collectively; something we give breath to when we to give into our inherent darkness instead of fighting for (and i do mean fighting for) what is good.
Gloss overs over of possibly volatile ideas, just as beauty shot pics, don’t count. They beautify what is real and don’t really touch the imperfections underneath.
So. Dowl, burn the glamour shot (the Eddie Rabbit shot 😆 😆 😆 ) I thought THAT was hilarious!
ANd well, the lines don’t match the hair anymore; show some gray or white; be proud of the laugh lines you have; I am proud of mine; shows I’ve been around and laugh a million times.
AND I’m not youthful looks motivated; I love the youth for their new ideas at times and their energy; but any one with life and goodness and light has got my attention; and I think beauty stems from this; not age, or waist szes; or wallet contents or who they are in this world.
Sometimes one can have great influence but no “earthly power” and sometimes one can much earthly power but really cannlt influence how events will unfold.
I like influence baby, it’s very nonrestrictive; if I fail here, i take it on the road.
Like now, i prefer the show Bones on FX, and just CSI on Spike.
And as a network Spike is annoying just as Lifetime and Hallmark or O.
Spike constantly airs ST eps; I refuse to watch any ST incarnations later then the next generation and only those movies. I don’t know why, but my interest died after a few eps of TNG. I can’t explain it.
I think it was due to a Moore penned ep; that touched on the Tholian Web which i still adore as an original ST . It annoyed me; the whole finding a cure for “bad space” I just am intrigued by the Tholians. After destroying a ship they still built the web and if they had finished it would they keep the Enterprise forever or did they do it to secure the space so a rescue might happen. I always thought that was the case. Definitely more interesting to give them a altruistic streak even after being shot at.
You know, Gen me, withholding emotions to watch what happens in order to get the win win situation.
I prefer PBS and A and E at times. Bill Moyer interviews John Stewart; good stuff.
ANd no more reading the thread guys, join in the conversation… or go to your blog or something.
