The Doomsday Machine

Not cool.

Friends don't call friends 'genetic aberrations', especially if said friend has problems with body image, self-esteem and depression.
I understand that my point of view is misguided if not logically incomprehensible. But perhaps looking into what I actually believe in at a little more than face value is required before calling me 'a fucking moron'.

The fact that you pretty much stalked my internet personae to try and out me to all my friends and family as a miscreant doesn't put you in my good books either. I thought you were a nice person; guess I was wrong.

There's a reason I don't put my political beliefs in public IRL and it is because I knew I would get hate and misunderstanding. I regard Facebook as my personal life; and I keep my personal and internet lives seperate.

Thank you for ruining my day.

EDIT: Well I guess this post doesn't matter since you don't consider me a friend anymore. My trust in people has subsequently dropped a few notches.

SOPA, and the countdown to the end of free speech on the internet.

2011-11-24T18:28:00.000-08:00

For those who are yet to hear about SOPA (also known as Protect-IP), do visit this handy site here.
The corporate crusade against piracy is pointless, and still a waste of funds. All it does is inconvenience the legitimate consumer, while doing nothing to curb piracy. Another recent example of this is in the first patch for Skyrim, which did nothing to inconvenience the pirates (who weren't running the game through Steam) but did stop users who had bought the game from playing it if they had downloaded a mod to increase the RAM usage of the game.
As it stands, corporations and governments are slowly whittling down our freedoms in the hopes that it may result in more cash in their pockets. The war on piracy is just another crusade which cannot be won and will only end in outrage.

Do promote the aforementioned website. The more people that know about this, the more that can act against it. And while this bill only affects the US, its passing will mean a domino effect of more countries passing similar laws.

Paranoia? Or excitement?

The betrayal of a secret document a friend sent to me has now been posted on 4chanarchive.

By this, I am referring to The Prophecy of the Lords, the shittiest piece of shit I have ever read, which I posted on /lit/ one day in hopes that the users of 4chan might find it amusing, or alternatively tear out their eyes in a confusing mix of anger and sadness.

I would probably have gotten away with it, too, if the aforementioned thread doesn't link to this very blog. A few people I know in real life probably read 4chanarchive, and it's likely that at least one person from the forum involved does too. So what is likely to happen is that the author of this dreck will be notified that I posted his shit all over the internet. If I'm lucky, he'll have a good laugh. If not, he'll be very, very angry.

Furthermore, if the aforementioned people I know somehow link this blog to me, it might result in quite a shitstorm.

A paranoid person would put their blog on private. I did for a few moments, then noticed that an anon had posted a comment on the post linked in the thread. So I've decided to leave the blog public and see what kind of traffic I get. Doubtless I'll draw in some haters, anyway. If nothing happens, well, at least the experience was interesting.

By the way, the guy who posted in that thread claiming to be the author is not the actual author.
I have, however, agreed to look at an animation project the real author is doing (you can see where this is going), perhaps as a sort of penance for not finishing proofreading this, perhaps because I want to see whether he has actually improved, perhaps because I am a masochist.

This was his comment on The Prophecy of the Lords:

That one was my first time, quite a few years ago since writing now. Looking back at it, I do feel kind of ashamed. But i've made sure to work out the kinks for this one, and for safety measures, hired a proof reader (friend from university).

So I was banned from TGWTG.

2010-12-02T00:26:00.000-08:00

This actually happened a few weeks ago, but since I am a lazy fucktard I am yet to write about it until now.

I signed up for TGWTG Forums some time ago and promptly forgot about it.

I signed up as 'ThatNaziDog'. That was my first mistake. Why did I do that? It was a stupid thought experiment. I wanted to be provocative.

I posted a few times some months later and was generally not treated too badly. I did make an enemy though: dagan. All this guy seems to do is complain. He earned my ire after this post, in which he makes the lovely assumption that disliking Schindler's List (I hate it for being pretentious, emotionless drivel, not because of its subject matter) makes me a racialist and a Holocaust revisionist, of which I am neither. Good to see you're thinking with your head there, dagan!

My second mistake was posting in this topic. All of my posts have since been deleted (that'll be explained later) but my first foray into this topic was basically outing my incredibly racist grandfather, but included a line which threw everyone off: "I'm not a fan of jews, for various reasons."
Shit hit the fan.

Apparently, despite my username and avatar of Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth, everyone assumed that I wasn't a Nazi and was making a joke or something. Okay.
So I was asked a lot of questions. I answered them all politely and went out of my way to stress that: no I am not a racialist, or a white supremacist, I'm not even white; I'm not a historical revisionist, I accept that the Holocaust happened, that it was a black mark on history and I'm not proud of it, but all regimes have done terrible things and they have almost all been forgiven; no, I am not wishing for the extermination of the Jews, I keep forgetting they are a racial group and dislike them as a religious group instead; the reasons for this are many and varied; and that there IS a difference between racism and racialism, which half of the people there completely ignored.

Then Zeden came in, completely misinterpreted half of my posts and decided to regard my argument as inferior due to my political stance. Okay. I answered him too.

Then the mod came in and decided to ignore every single one of my posts, assume that because I associate myself as a national socialist that makes me a white nationalist holocaust denier, flamed me to high hell, contradicted herself, decided that my beliefs were "evil and destructive ... [and] degrade the public caliber of this private forum", then promptly deleted all of my posts and then banned me after I made another acknowledging that while I don't agree with the decision, I accept that I am not wanted.

Red Leaves concluded, in a topic about racism where others have acknowledged their own prejudices, that anyone who is a racist will be banned.

tl;dr I was banned from TGWTG for being a nazi, no questions asked, all posts deleted.

I cannot think of any other ideology towards which this is a regular occurence across the internet.

Israeli soldiers attack aid flotilla

2010-05-31T05:31:00.001-07:00

Israel should rot in hell and all the Zionists can go with it.

Although I haven't posted much about it here, I am fairly passionate about the Gaza situation, but this is the first thing to happen this year which has really made me angry instead of just downright depressed.

As you may or may not know, Israel has put up a blockade in Gaza, preventing many materials from entering or leaving the country. They say this blockade is to prevent violence and terrorism in Gaza, but basic materials such as foodstuffs, coffee and construction materials are also prohibited. Construction in Gaza, or expansion on a property, is prohibited without a permit. Israel only gives out a few permits, and seldom to Gazans due to bias in the system. Forgoing the roles and building without a permit can result in your house being steamrolled (by bulldozers shipped to Israel from Australia) or taken by the IDF.

The situation angered some Europeans so much that they put together some materials and went off on a flotilla to give them to Gaza. Unfortunately, the IDF caught up and opened fire with machine guns and gas grenades, despite the flotilla having raised a white flag, and the ship being in international waters, outside of IDF jurisdiction (although at current Israel plans to expand its maritime claims to 70km from its current 20km from shore). At current, 16 are dead and 30 wounded, all civilians. The IDF claims that they were attacked with knives, but it's clear that they are either lying or taking the civilians' frightened acts of self-defense and using them as an excuse to kill.

There is really nothing I can say about this that isn't already apparent. How can people stand back and ignore these atrocities happening, or claim that any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism?
As a state, Israel has no right to exist, and it is time that someone stage an intervention to stop the holocaust in Gaza. Unfortunately the US' staunch defense of Israel would make large-scale action difficult, so it is up to small organisations - such as those shot dead today in international waters - to spread awareness and help the people of Palestine break free from their oppression.

In Defense of: Nuclear Power

2010-04-05T08:07:00.000-07:00

This is gonna be the first in a series of me defending things.

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

I've actually already gotten into this subject before, briefly, but this'll be my first comprehensive post about it.

So, as you all probably know, Australia has tonnes of uranium lying around that isn't being used. Some of it is being exported but for the most part it's stuck underground because nobody wants to use it.

The truth is that nuclear power is far safer and more efficient than fossil fuels. Almost 80% of France's energy is produced with nuclear power. The sheer amount of energy produced in a single reaction is far more than that from burning that weight of fissile material as coal.

The main fear that people have is that nuclear power is unstable and will cause accidents, often citing Chernobyl or Three Mile Island. These accidents are few and far between, and have only happened because the proper safety measures were breached or not followed (the workers at Chernobyl on that day were in breach of over fifty safety rules). In the Chernobyl case, the reactor tried to shut itself down multiple times but it was overriden by the overzealous workers. Nuclear power plants, especially these days, have a plethora of safety measures in place to ensure that leaks and breaches do not occur. Furthermore, there have been many more accidents occuring from coal or oil plants, due in part to the incredible flammability of fossil fuels and the large amounts in place in such plants.

Another problem that people seem to have with nuclear power is nuclear waste. Due to the vast amount of energy that can be harnessed with nuclear power, nuclear waste is very small. Also, the majority of radioactive waste is low-level radiation which has a very short half-life. This type of radiation is also found naturally occuring in the earth's crust and in clothing and paper. Thus it does not pose a threat to human health. However, intermediate- and high-level radioactive waste is produced in nuclear plants which must be treated and isolated until radioactive decay ensures it is safe to handle, or transformed into a non-toxic form. Amazingly, Australia has already produced a material called Synroc which has proven most effective in neutralising nuclear waste.

Some people also object to uranium being exported or transported (I talked about uranium mining earlier, so you can just read that one instead).

tl;dr nuclear power is fucking awesome and better for the environment

Scarred

2010-03-25T07:23:00.000-07:00

I have mentioned before that people treat me like a child. It is probably the worst thing that I hate about myself that I cannot change.

The main reason for this is due to my physical stature. I was born three months premature, meaning that I was not fully developed when I was taken out of the womb. My mother developed toximia while pregnant, and my existence was considered hazardous to both of us. I was given a 5% chance of survival. To this day I wonder whether it would have been better to die. I spent many months in hospital constantly in an incubator. There are still marks on my arms and legs where tubes were fed into me, a constant reminder that for my first six months at least, my life was sustained by a machine. Perhaps that is why I feel an affinity with machinery and technology.

Premature babies are fairly easy to spot. We are horrendously small and under-developed. Many cite my age as 14 (or below) when they look at me, and others have assumed I was lying when I said I was 18. This hurts me on a level you probably won't understand.

I have lived a life being harrassed by others for my size. Even as recently as a few months ago, I was verbally tormented by teenagers on the bus who thought I was a young child alone and thus prime pickings. One asked if he could steal my phone, pestered me while I was trying to play Chrono Trigger, dropped a full barbeque chicken on the seat next to me and the entire group was generally being noisy and annoying.
My calls for reason have been ignored by other teenagers who insist on blaring their shitty music and generally being condescending and inconsiderate. It doesn't help that everyone else on buses seems so withdrawn unless you know each other. I don't mind taking them, but sometimes the atmosphere plus my condition makes me so depressed, retreating into my mind and listening to, say, Die Wacht am Rhein is only a small comfort. (don't ask...for a while it made me happy whenever I listened to it)

My voice, too, is underdeveloped. Not two months ago I was verbally abused by men while on voice chat in Modern Warfare 2. They thought I was a little boy and teased me for playing an adult game. (I complained to a friend of the one who was abusing me, but he replied 'It's the internet, get over it'. It doesn't mean it didn't hurt.) There is a voice distortion option on PS3, but it's artificial and I wouldn't feel right.

In school I was mostly alone. My first school years were spent in a fancy private girls' school, where I was too bright for children my age, more interested in dinosaurs and reading encyclopediae than dolls. I tried to hang out with the seniors, but they only kept me around because they thought I was cute. I became withdrawn and sat in silence.
I was well-known in late primary school for spending lunchtime continuously walking circles around a certain tree. Only once was I approached by a teacher asking what was up. I found it better to think up stories in my head, and the walking around stimulated my brain better.
I eventually found 'friends' my age, but they were stereotypical girly-girls, and my one true friend then was ostracised by them for reasons I'll never know.

I made friends with boys easily, although I seemed to relate most with those who originally bullied me. All of these eventually moved schools.
In high and senior school I was frequently depressed and broke down randomly. I often visited sickbay to have a lie down, but this didn't always help. I don't know whether they knew about my history and emotional disorder (I was born with hereditary clinical depression) but they were always nice to me, although I never said out loud that I was depressed and had been crying.

I've had suicidal thoughts as early as grade 7 (12 years old) and ever since then I become incredibly worked up when there's something important I haven't done. For the last three years at least I have had suicidal thoughts frequently and usually for incredibly minor reasons. I have planned for suicide but have never attempted it or self-harmed.

I thought people might want to know my story. You can bitch and moan all you like about how I'm always so depressed, but in my case I can't imagine how things could ever have been different. Even these days there is prejudice against me. I know it will continue for many years to come.

The results are in!

WA is the most racist state in Australia! Welly, welly, well. Who's surprised? I'm not!

It's strange that now people are starting to see all the shit the government's doing. The news reports the proposed introduction of those damned stop-and-search laws, and the letters to the editor are flooded with cries to give compensation to the family of Mr Ward (an Aboriginal man who died in the back of a police van. Safety measures were not taken and he was slowly cooked to death in the blazing outback heat. This has happened again recently, as well.)

According to the West Australian, which I don't often cite because it's a crock of shit, several thousand complaints have been sent in to wherever people complain about racism. There are tales of African and Aboriginal people being consistently followed by security upon entering a shopping complex, and Muslim women having their hijabs ripped off of them. What a sad state we live in. Honestly, I never was proud to call myself Australian but you people are really toeing the line here. I swear I'm going to move to Canada as soon as I can fund it. It may not be perfect, but it's better than this shithole.

With the new uni year fast approaching, I have little time to make posts (ie. I can't be bothered)

However, if you haven't heard of Project Censored, you should sign up to their mailing list. They present news articles which are either suppressed to the public or not widely covered. Here's the most recent mailing list:

US Special Forces Murder Family in Syria

On October 26, 2008, U.S. helicopters stormed a farm near the Iraq-Syria border and brutally killed 7 people within the farm walls. Anonymous Pentagon sources claimed that there was an Al-Qaeda terrorist, Abu Ghadiya, with in the walls of the farm. This terrorist is held responsible for smuggling men and arms across the Iraqi-Syrian border.

In the process of “killing” this terrorist, U.S. killed 7 people within the farm walls. They killed a father, his four sons, including a teenage boy, the father’s visiting friend, and the night watchman. The U.S. troops also severely wounded the night watches wife; she and her six-year-old son along with a man Hamid, were the only survivors. As witnesses of this event say that there was no one was shooting back at the U.S. Soldiers because they had no weapons to fire back.

It became suspicious when there were no reports of Al-Qaeda terrorists, or Abu Ghadiya, death. These people were brutally shot, 10 or more bullets to each body, and there is no body or official report that this terrorist was killed. There also was no official announcement about the raid. Al-Qaeda in Iraq, in August of 2006, announced the death of Ghadiya. One Syrian official says that the U.S. never showed him any proof that Ghadiya was alive after 2006.

Florida Imprisons Black Children for Life

There are 73 children, 14 and younger, who have been imprisoned for life without parole Florida. 84 percent of prisoners in Flordia are black, and African American youths are serving life without parole 10 times that of white youths. For the age 13 and younger, there are nine kids serving life in prison including both homicide and non-homicide

In the 90's there was the myth of the “super predator” which was introduced as packs of mostly Black and Latino kids who were “wilding” or being rowdy and said to be the new breed of criminal. What people didn't know was that by stereotyping these packs of minority kids as the “super predator” they created a monsterous stereotype that led to many faulty arrests.

One of the key persons who created the idea of the “super predator” was John DiIulio, a professor at Princeton, who stated he was wrong, but still many groups of black teens were targeted, arrested, and paid for the mistake.

Global Censorship Technology used in U.S.

Deep packet inspection technology monitors everything that goes through the internet. It is readily available in the United States and there’s no legislation that prevents the US government from employing it. Deep packet inspection is currently used in Iran. The Iranian Government has the ability to look through everything, land line telephones, mobile telephones, email, websites, looking for keywords and actually monitoring the entire traffic going through one chokepoint in Iran. Deep packet inspection is the use of sophisticated equipment that literally watches the entire internet for every piece of data, voice, and video looking for key words, such as “rebel” or “grenade.” It is widely known that since 9/11, AT&T and Verizon were being asked by the Bush administration to deploy this sort of off-the-shelf technology. And they did. Again, Obama came out against the law and said we must punish these carriers for doing this, because it’s illegal, and then he flipped under enormous pressure from the lobbies.

US Weapons Still Killing in Vietnam

American War weapons and artillery still killing many in Vietnam. American bombs, artillery shells, rockets, landmines, grenades, and other type of unexploded ordnance still haunt Vietnam citizens. The explosive ordinance left over from the American war has killed thousands, in one village alone it has killed in alarming 1300 people.

In one case a six year old boy named Nguyen Vu Lan was watching his cousin as they came across a bomb used in the American War, the young boys were pounding on the metal, only to see their youth disappear in front of them, as the boy watching on took the grunt of the explosion shredding the whole front of his body. The bomb killed the other two boys. The mom of this young boy wants America to be accountable for there actions and contribute towards the many that were injured.

There is little medical care in which these people can receive in Vietnam; they are seeking American doctors to cover surgeries due to American post war destruction. There are many cases similar to this one and America still denies involvement. The Vietnam Veterans are forming a group to inform there citizens about explosive ordinance. They meet with a non-profit group named Golden West Humanitarian Foundation, who focuses strictly on explosive ordinance. They are coming up with ideas to reduce explosion related deaths. The recent estimates have calculated that it will take billions of dollars to clean up Vietnam’s bomb littering. Project RENEW is pushing hard for a casualty decrease and a clean swept of their country.

H-Bomb Missing in Savannah Swamp Since 1958

Where did the missing H-Bomb Go? That is the question on many people’s minds and especially the residents near Tybee Island in Savannah Georgia.

On February 5, 1958 two USA air crafts collided during a night training flight. On one of the aircrafts lay what the pentagon described as the “Mother of all Weapons”. After colliding with each other the pilot was order to “jetton” the bomb before landing the damaged plane. The pilot did so over the shallow waters of Wassaw Sound.

To this day this bomb has still not been discovered. Since the 200 pounds of TNT that was attached to the bomb exploded scattering debris everywhere, residents and officials know that the bomb was dropped. After less then two months the government ordered the search for the bomb to stop. Residents concerns have increased over time due to the fact that they are aware that plutonium, which is a major part of the H-Bomb, becomes even more dangerous and deadly over the years as it erodes and disintegrates. They are afraid that the bomb is leaking radioactive materials into the area around them, which some scientists feel is definitely the case.

Cancer Spreading In Iraq due to Depleted Uranium Weapons

Cancer is spreading like wildfire in Iraq. Thousands of infants are being born with deformities. Doctors say they are struggling to cope with the rise of cancer and birth defects, especially in cities subjected to heavy American and British bombardment.

Dr Ahmad Hardan, who served as a special scientific adviser to the World Health Organization, the United Nations and the Iraqi Ministry of Health, says that there is scientific evidence linking depleted uranium to cancer and birth defects. He told Al Jazeera English [3], "Children with congenital anomalies are subjected to karyotyping and chromosomal studies with complete genetic back-grounding and clinical assessment. Family and obstetrical histories are taken too. These international studies have produced ample evidence to show that depleted uranium has disastrous consequences."

Iraqi doctors say cancer cases increased after both the 1991 war and the 2003 invasion. Abdulhaq Al-Ani, author of "Uranium in Iraq" told Al Jazeera English [4] that the incubation period for depleted uranium is five to six years, which is consistent with the spike in cancer rates in 1996-1997 and 2008-2009.

Not everyone is ready to draw a direct correlation between allied bombing of these areas and tumors, and the Pentagon has been skeptical of any attempts to link the two. But Iraqi doctors and some Western scholars say the massive quantities of depleted uranium used in U.S. and British bombs, and the sharp increase in cancer rates are not unconnected.

In Falluja, which was heavily bombarded by the US in 2004, as many as 25% of new- born infants [1] have serious abnormalities, including congenital anomalies, brain tumors, and neural tube defects in the spinal cord.

The cancer rate in the province of Babil, south of Baghdad has risen from 500 diagnosed cases in 2004 to 9,082 in 2009 according to Al Jazeera English [2].

The water, soil and air in large areas of Iraq, including Baghdad, are contaminated with depleted uranium that has a radioactive half-life of 4.5 billion years.

Massacre in Peruvian Amazon over US Free Trade Agreement

On June 5, 2009 World Environment Day, Peruvian Amazon Indians were massacred by the government of Alan Garcia in the latest chapter of a long war to take over common lands—a war unleashed by the signing of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Peru and the United States. Three MI-17 helicopters took off from the base of the National Police in El Milagro at six in the morning of Friday, June 5. They flew over Devil’s Curve, the part of the highway that joins the jungle with the northern coast, which had been occupied for the past 10 days by some 5,000 Awajun and Wampi indigenous peoples. The copters launched tear gas on the crowd (other versions say they also shot machine guns), while simultaneously a group of agents attacked the road block by ground, firing AKM rifles. A hundred people were wounded by gunshot and between 20-25 were killed. The versions are contradictory. The government claimed days after the events that there are 11 indigenous dead and 23 police. The indigenous organizations reported 50 dead among their ranks and up to 400 disappeared. According to witnesses, the military burned bodies and threw them into the river to hide the massacre, and also took prisoners among the wounded in hospitals. In any case, what is certain is that the government sent the armed forces to evict a peaceful protest that had been going on for 57 days in five jungle regions: Amazonas, Cusco, Loreto, San Martin, and Ucayali.

Illegal Arms Trade Experts in Air France Crash

Amid the media frenzy and speculation over the disappearance of Air France flight 447, the loss of two of the world's most prominent figures in the war on the illegal arms trade has been virtually overlooked. Pablo Dreyfus, who was traveling with is wife aboard the flight from Rio de Janerio to Paris, had worked with the Brazilian authorities for years to stop the flow of weapons and ammunition that have fueled drug wars in Rio. Also traveling with Dreyfus was his friend and colleague Ronald Dreyer, a Swiss diplomat and coordinator of the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence. Dreyfus and Dreyer were on their way to Geneva to present the latest edition of the Small Arms Survey handbook, of which Dreyfus was a joint editor. It was to have been an important step in their relentless fight towards a less profitably violent future.

Approved textbooks, the standards say, will teach students to identify significant conservative organizations and individuals, such as Newt Gingrich, Joe McCarthy, Phyllis Schlafly, and the Moral Majority in heroic terms. In sharp contrast, the historic roles of liberal figures and groups such as Martin Luther King, Betty Friedan, and the American Indian Movement are either not mentioned or minimized. Texas is one of two states with the largest student enrollment in the nation. California is the other. Publishers vie to get their books adopted by these states. Changes that are inserted to please Texas and California are then part of the textbooks made available to every other state.

British Global Brands Reject Amazon Deforestation

Four of the biggest companies involved in Brazilian cattle farming have joined forces to stop the purchase of cattle from newly deforested areas of the Amazon. Meat companies Marfrig, Bertin, JBS-Friboi and Minerva yesterday signed a formal moratorium in which they pledge better protection for the rainforest.

The move follows a three-year Greenpeace investigation, reported extensively in the Guardian in June, which exposed the link between forest destruction and the expansion of cattle ranching in the Amazon. The investigation prompted calls for action from key international companies, including food group Princes and footwear manufacturers Clarkes, Adidas, Nike, and Timberland, which threatened to cancel contracts unless their beef and leather products were guaranteed free from raw materials linked to Amazon destruction.

John Sauven, head of Greenpeace, said: "Today's announcement is a significant victory in the fight to protect the Amazon. Cattle ranching is the single biggest cause of deforestation globally, and the fact that these multibillion dollar companies have committed to cleaning up their supply chains will lead to real change in the Amazon."

No Water for Palestinians

In a new extensive report, Amnesty International revealed the extent to which Israel’s discriminatory water policies and practices are denying Palestinians their right to access to water. Israel uses more than 80 percent of the water from the Mountain Aquifer, the main source of underground water and the OPT, while restricting Palestinian access to a mere 20 percent. The Mountain Aquifer is the only source for water for Palestinians. Some 180,000-200,00 Palestinians living in rural communities have no access to running water and the Israeli army often prevents them from even collecting rainwater. To cope with the water shortages and lack of network supplies many Palestinians have to purchase water, of often dubious quality, from mobile water tankers at a much higher price. Others resort to water saving measures which are detrimental to their and their families’ health and which hinder socio-economic development. Israel has also imposed a complex system of permits in order to carry out water related projects. Applications are often rejected or subject to long delays.

Film reviews, Winter Solstice edition (2009) pt2

2009-12-22T07:44:00.001-08:00

Year One
A dirty-humoured comedy starring Jack Black and some guy who is probably from Wayne's World who find themselves in the Bible stories after wandering away from their village and discovering that there is a whole new world outside of their isolated caveman village place thing.
The plot isn't particularly historically accurate, but the settings are believable and it's nice to see how they tied in everything. I found it interesting that the existence of God is a debate raised, and it's sort of implied within the film that God doesn't exist and religion is for crazy people. Also, all Jews want to cut off your foreskin. The film seems to end rather early and you don't have much of a sense of closure.
Fairly unmemorable. The jokes are cringe-worthy and not particularly funny. I didn't expect much, however.
5/10
Would watch again? No.

Zemanta is fucking up so I can't place all of the posters correctly. You'll just have this one for now.

Ah yes, the most hyped film of 2009 (although you absolutely must see it in 3D). This film really sucks you in with its effects, but otherwise is rather average. So what the hell is this movie about? Without revealing too much, it's set in the far future, 215x (don't remember exactly). Humans have settled a mining colony on the distant planet of Pandora, a moon orbiting a gas giant in Alpha Centauri. The humans want a very rare mineral called 'Unobtainium', which sells for millions back on Earth. The problem is that the natives, an extraterrestrial humanoid race called the Na'vi, have a very large settlement right on top of the largest deposit, and the humans want in.
The environments and creatures are incredible; don't let the film poster fool you, the CG is amazing and probably the best ever seen in a film yet. The scenery, although uniquely alien, is still plausible and has definitely been painstakingly researched to ensure scientific plausibility.

Unfortunately, the rest of the film is bland and nothing we haven't seen before.

6/10
Would watch again? Yes.

GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Having never seen the show nor any of the toys, I knew nothing about the series before I saw this film. I'm kinda glad. Not particularly memorable, this one, although I'm not really a fan of all of the adaptations and remakes coming out lately. It's not very believable, and the plot has some holes in it.
The Doctor has a hot gasmask though.
Also, not to spoil anything, but I'd like to point out that Destro and the Cobra Commander look like Daft Punk in this film.
The soundtrack is great and is composed by Alan Silvestri (he did Van Helsing).
6/10
Would watch again? Maybe.

Inglourious Basterds
Having seen this film for the second time, I picked up a few things I didn't notice on first viewing.
This isn't an action film, so if you came expecting another Kill Bill, you'll be disappointed. This is more like Pulp Fiction: a fuckload of dialogue, some interesting discussion and short stints of action. If for some reason you have no idea what the film's about, it focusses around two different groups each planning to sabotage a Nazi film screening at the same time, and the complex backstory leading up to it. I still love this movie (Schweiger, the actor playing Hans Landa, is fantastic) but it's more of a drama film than an action. If you enjoy foreign films, you'll like this one. It's unique as are all Tarantino movies, and the soundtrack is great. Here's a taster.
8/10
Would watch again? Yes.

Lest We Forget (Rememberance/Armistice/Veterans' Day)

2009-11-11T11:00:00.000-08:00

Image by wallyg via Flickr

On this day, at this very moment, 91 years ago, WWI came to an end.
It is the day that we commemorate those who fought in war.

It is a day to remember all those who experienced the horrors that many of us will never know. The terrifying sound of the trumpets of Jericho. The bombing and seizure of towns and cities.
Many of us should be thankful to have never seen war on our homefront.

I will be brief, because being heartfelt is never my thing, but it is important never to lose sight of the past, because to do so is to jeopardise the future.

One last video for solidarity. I have one other to post on ANZAC Day, but that's not for a while.

also, rage

In the News...

Well, the 36th anniversary of the military coup in Chile has come and gone, but more horrific news has sprung up.

Margaret Thatcher is revealed to have, along with almost all of Europe, been against German reunification, since 'you remember who started the two world wars'. This infomation has only come to light due to concealed Politburo documents being found by a reporter and copied. Shameful.

Secondly, a reporter who was being held in Afghanistan has been returned home after the government of a Western country (not sure whether it was US or UK) staged a military intervention allowing for the deaths of civilian Afghanis and the reporter's interpreter in order for the detained to make his escape.

Upcoming posts: Wave, the shitty Graffidiot campaign (I'll do that one once I upload my photos from my phone)

UN condemns NT Intervention

2009-09-04T02:13:00.000-07:00

What's this? A new post from me? Yeah, that's right. I'm usually too lazy to actually write posts, despite having a fucklot of stuff to write about.

If you're not in Australia, and even if you are in Australia, you probably don't know about the NT intervention. I'll start with the very basic background information, then.

The States of Australia

Image via Wikipedia

Here's a handy map of all the states of Australia. There's six, plus the Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory, which aren't technically part of Australia apparently. Now the thing about the NT is few people know what the fuck happens there, if anything. It's generally considered full of rednecks and desert, although Uluru is there, so that counts for something.

The Stolen Generation
Now I have mentioned this before, but the Stolen Generation isn't exactly require knowledge outside of Australia.
As little as thirty years ago, thousands of Aboriginal and mixed-race (the derogatory term 'half-caste' was also used, although admittedly few know that it's derogatory, sort of like 'jap') children were forcibly removed from their parents and sent to live on missions or with white families. Many were physically and sexually abused. The case of Aboriginal rights activist Rob Riley, who committed suicide early this decade, is one of the most public cases in this otherwise oft-forgotten period. Why were the children removed? The Aboriginal Act of 1905 created many racist laws in order to rob the Aborigines of their rights, believing them unable to care for their own children, have a job or own any property.

So what does all of this have to do with anything nowadays?
Although KRudd publically apologised to the Stolen Generation a few years ago, they have still not recieved compensation, and it was merely a coverup to make him look good while the racist attacks on Aborigines continue.
A few years ago, government forces entered the Northern Territory on the pretext of battling child abuse, alcohol abuse and building houses. Despite the facts that there is no evidence of an outbreak of child abuse in the region, and no houses have been built since. In order to make this intervention legal, the Australian Parliament suspended the Racial Discrimination Act. So what's the purpose of this intervention, apart from driving out the Aborigines? To clear land and space for mining companies and other big business subsidiaries.

Come on Australia, we know you're racist, capitalist assholes, but this is too obvious...

2010
It’s been 12 hours since my request for information. All hell is breaking loose down here, I need a reply. I have enough problems without you pulling some kind of a stunt. I only hope that there’s a world left for you to return to. Report to ground as to what is going on and make that report immediately!
Based on the incredibly awesome holy tome that is Arthur C. Clarke's 2010: Odyssey Two, I never expected this film, which isn't directed by Stanley Kubrick, to match up to its fantastic greatness. Words cannot describe the great beauty that is the book, but words can easily describe this film.
Firstly, everyone knows I have a raging hard-on for the Space Odyssey series. Ever since I saw the first film and read the second book, it's quickly risen to the top of my best SF list. The film of 2010 tries hard to match the epic of the book, and it can be congratulated for that. It falls flat (OF COURSE) but is still not a bad watch.

The book of 2010 had a lot of scenes which required some interesting effects, especially the ending scene where Jupiter explodes and becomes the second Sun, Lucifer. Where Kubrick needed little computer imagery for his masterpiece, whoever directed this film had to use some. This film was made about 40 years after the 2001 film, but its computer effects are lacklustre and glaringly obvious, especially to a 21st-century audience. Thankfully, it's not too bad until the final scene, which is pretty lulzy in regards to how Jupiter's rendered. As this film was made in the 80s, this is understandable, but still awkward.

Computer effects aside, the film's not that accurate. It would have been much better to keep in the Tsien scenes instead of removing them altogether, as it is relevant to the plot and would be much better than the weird shit they put in involving no alien seaweed whatsoever. There're some nice homages to the first film in regards to some shots and the soundtrack, which isn't so bad considering it's not classical. Dr Chandra is also American, which is annoying. No Translation Convention, however, which gets a nod of approval from me: the Russian is clearly painstakingly researched.
The Anvilicious Cold War theme is annoying, and although it does create some interesting plot points and WAFF, it shouldn't be there. Stop sticking your 1980s political themes into my twenty-first century alternate future. Besides, the Cold War is over in Space Odyssey-verse.
Nonetheless, a respectable adaptation of a difficult film to adapt, and worth watching, although don't expect another 2001.

Gattaca
For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home.
A few years ago, I attended a lecture at a university which discussed themes [I don't remember which] in a few films, primarily Gattaca, of which I had never heard of at the time. Just recently I was able to watch the film, and I must say it is very good.
The underlying theme, to be wary of becoming over-obsessed with genetics and cloning, is very anvilicious, but can be forgiven.
The film revolves around some guy, who always wanted to be an astronaut, but is a 'godchild', someone who was concieved naturally, as opposed to the genetically created babies of the future. This means that not only is his body not fit for the job, but he has several conditions which make him unfit for anything in the elitist world: a 99% chance of developing a heart condition, and myopia (short-sightedness). He's an invalid, meaning that the only job suitable for him is cleaning. Discrimination is, of course, illegal...but nobody cares about that.
Determined, he assumes the identity of another guy in a wheelchair, who is genetically perfect, and frequently borrows samples of blood, urine and other stuff from him in order to pass the routine physicals. It's good. Jude Law steals the show as Guy in a Wheelchair.
8.5/10

Valkyrie
Do you know how this war will end, lieutenant? The portrait will be unhung, and the man will be hung.
I did not expect much from this film. That's probably why I liked it. Oh, also yummy guys in nazi uniforms. Terence Stamp is awesome as always.
Everyone knows what this is about, so I'll cut to the chase. It was good. Anvilicious, but good. Most of the actors being British, I didn't like, but it turned out well.
Except for the actors playing the Big Four: Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels and Göring (Heß, for some reason, was not in this movie), who looked nothing like the people they were supposed to be imitating, except for Himmler. The only reason I could tell that they were them was that Goebbels was thin and wearing an SA uniform, Göring was fat, and Hitler had the toothbrush moustache. They should have made it a foreign film...
I had to live with my granny, who was confused throughout the entire thing and asked I'm Confused Are These People Germans and SS Stands For Secret Service Doesn't It, and my grandpa, who is a massive conservative/wannabe WWII nut ("Yes, SS stands for Secret Service" [it doesn't]) and thoroughly approved of goddamn everything in this film especially the part about killing Hitler, while watching this movie. So the suspension of disbelief was not there, and I could silently nitpick everything.
This film tries to make an action movie about something that is not action. This was annoying. However, the film wasn't bad, and although bits of it were irritating, I still don't see why everyone hates Tom Cruise. But that's probably only because I've seen about 3 films with him in it, and I liked all of them.
If you want to see hot guys in nazi uniforms, watch this film. Terence Stamp is awesome.
If you want to see a historically-accurate romp through Operation Walküre, watch the other movie, Operation Valkyrie, which came before it.

Idiot of the Whenever: Quad

2009-07-24T06:43:00.000-07:00

Folks, I have not one but two installments of Idiot of the Whenever from Smackjeeves.
To be more specific, users from the Smack Jeeves Awards, an impromptu 'awards ceremony' thrown together by one idiotic spriter [more about her later, she will have her own post] in order to give out shitty little pictures of trophies to whosoever is deemed worthiest of it every month for each category.
The problem is that most of the people on the SmackJeeves Awards are spriters. Most of the spriters on Smack Jeeves are...noobs. The results are often that people get awards which they don't deserve, as it could have gone to someone much better.
On the first of July, the greatest controversy of the comic's (short) history occurred, as the aforementioned happened, and...

Cover of Foul Play

If you flip through the archives, you'll see that there were much better entries than this. We pointed this out, and wondered why he had won because I sure hadn't voted for him...
Each month 4-5 judges are picked, who must give a score out of five to each entry. Then Wave adds her score onto this (but we didn't know this at the time, and nobody knows how many points Wave's score is worth). A quick discussion between the judges revealed that nobody gave Quad a very good rating at all, and so we rallied together to put Wave on the spot.
Quad, for some reason, took this as a personal insult, and began flaming for no reason whatsoever, with Wave defending him. Full drama in the thread linked.

Some time later, someone (probably RaveDuck) posted a hilarious fake entry which was deleted.

RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
I suppose I do have one final question..What exactly happened on The Smack Jeeves Awards between you and Wave etc.?
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
I guess I kind of just assumed there was foul play involved.
says:
What do you mean?
says:
Well, she still hasn't revealed the results
says:
But we all think it was skewed in some way.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
Well I mean. You were a judge right? How exactly did it work?
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
Just send in results right?
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
See I wasn't exactly pissed about not winning. I can deal with that. I was pissed that Wave was dodging the issue.
says:
Well, yeah there's four of us and we all send in our results to Wave
says:
I didn't actually know she added anything onto it until she said so
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
*nod*
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
I don't see how it could be that difficult then.
says:
Well, I was more concerned with Quad being a whiny git.
says:
But yeah, Wave has something to do with it.
says:
She definitely favours him, just look at her posts.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
My guess is that guy either actually did win in some way or Wave is a massive bitch or both and I'm not truely caring of either.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
And, of course, I take great advantage of a chaotic situation.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
Weren't a bunch of the judge choices absent?
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
And I think shadow the unborn didn't even vote.
says:
I don't know what happened with StU
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
the whole thing was so damn convoluted.
says:
Breaker has the story in regards to that.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
Right.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
Well I suppose it's best to put it in the past now.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
I wouldn't want to dwell on that. Just wanted your take on it.
says:
Well, it's over now, but I enjoyed arguing with Quad yesterday.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
I saw :P
says:
Raged a bit when today he was just like 'oh I was just having a bad day'
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
It looked hilarious.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
The guy seriously was going crazy for no reason.
says:
It was also frustrating.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
I bet it was. That's kinda why I got out the day before.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
Of course, I have to go out with as angry an exit as possible. It looked like I really got on everybody's nerves.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
That's a success in mah book.
says:
I don't even remember you posting...
says:
Well, after getting over 200 email alerts for comments on that I couldn't really ignore it
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
It was probably gone by the time you actually saw it. Wave took it down within an hour or so.
says:
Really, what'd you say?
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
1: Flame S.L. For no reason.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
2: Post a flashing gif in a lot of places all over the comic
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
3: bitch and moan in the comments.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
then clicked "leave comic."
says:
man I gotta see this if you saved it somewhere
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
certainly
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
pix or it didn't happen
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
http://pc.pixel-pagoda.com/tmntossim/RDKSCRIB2.html
says:
Naw, it's just the deleted posts are always the best.
says:
...WOW
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
Yes. there's a reason why people were surprised when I posted an honest submission
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
They were like, "Man I've heard all the stories...You're a lot different."
says:
haha the worst judge one is classic
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
I didn't actually make that one.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
I think It was Ryderlol.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
But I knew I'd probably get blamed for it.
RaveDuck- Le Zomg says:
Especially since I was spamming the comments on it.

Wave posted this in response. Now the members of SJ Summer Awards, who Wave called out, got pissy for her calling them 'copies' when they were around first and are much better at their job.
Quad pulled out the 'you guys flamed me' card, when as aforementioned, we didn't. A shorter flame war ensued, and Wave jumped in, saying we were 'ganging up on Quad'...I had already stopped the fighting half a day earlier. I'm pretty sure that neither Wave nor Quad can read, and she just responds to complaints from him.
Quad eventually said he was 'having a bad day', and apologised noobishly. He was somehow forgiven by Roby, but my hate was not abated.

And now today, another flame war has cropped up, in regards to this. Once again, Quad does something stupid, we reason with him, he starts yelling, Wave defends him. But if you read the thread, you'll see things get stupider. Wave has no ability to reason. But that will be seen later.

Next up: Wave

good jorb, wave

I am going to say this once, and only once.

2009-07-01T23:39:00.001-07:00

I dislike Judaism, and by extension, the people who follow that religion.
There! I said it.

I've had bad experiences with them. They're opinionated and make up ridiculous excuses for completely ignoring facts and reason. And they also only help out their own kind.
Guess that makes me an anti-Semite. It doesn't, however, make any of my arguments any less valid. I may be a hateful hypocrite, and I may be biased, but everything I say here is 100% truth. I don't fabricate statistics or make shit up so that I can add fuel to the fire of arguments based on falsehood. So don't assume that because I don't like Jews, that makes everything I say wrong. Like Christians, they're not all bad, but the bad ones are everywhere. At least I'm no longer a racial supremacist. That clear? Good? Good.

That said, let's continue to today's rant.

I mentioned in a previous post the controversy over The Reader. Having read the novel version for university, I can now confirm that what I mentioned in that post is entirely true. There is absolutely no reason for this controversy.
And then we started discussing it in class.

says:
also have you seen the movie 'the reader'
MISTAH PINKK says:
I don't like catholics especially
MISTAH PINKK says:
no
says:
well okay
says:
in a nutshell it's about this kid who falls in love with a woman
says:
and a while later they meet up again and she's on trial for war crimes she supposedly commited as an auschwitz guard
MISTAH PINKK says:
weird
says:
but it's revealed she's illiterate and so everything she did up to this point was to either prevent people from finding out about her illiteracy or just striking out options which would force her to read and write
MISTAH PINKK says:
ok
MISTAH PINKK says:
that's where the title comes in
says:
anyway in english class we were reading the book
says:
and discussing it
says:
and the question came up 'do you feel sorry for hanna' and stuff like 'is what she did excusable' and whatever
says:
and so we started talking about morality and how a lot of people had no choice or were afraid of being killed if they spoke out etc
MISTAH PINKK says:
is this where the idiot comes in
says:
and so anyway this woman pipes up
says:
'no I don't think what she did is excusable because I'm jewish and I just think that it's totally cruel'
says:
and I'm just like '...what'
MISTAH PINKK says:
oh god
like
MISTAH PINKK says:
she had just as much choice
says:
anyway I had the niggling urge to just yell at her but I just shut up because I figured at some point she'd say sometihng like 'are you defending the nazis' and then of course I'd have to say yes
MISTAH PINKK says:
lol
MISTAH PINKK says:
I prefer nazis to jews
says:
anyway I never thought much of this woman but it just goes to show jews suck
MISTAH PINKK says:
cause of nearly every major conflict
says:
actually now I think about it
says:
I should procure her email address
says:
and immortal her
MISTAH PINKK says:
lol
MISTAH PINKK says:
yes
says:
because I'd like to know her opinion on the war in palestine
MISTAH PINKK says:
IT IS WRONG BECAUSE WAR IS WRONG U NAZI
MISTAH PINKK says:
():):):Ps);0:)Spfr
says:
clearly you know nothing about the war in palestine
MISTAH PINKK says:
no I was being her
MISTAH PINKK says:
-_-
says:
yes bt that's not what she'd say
MISTAH PINKK says:
oh
says:
because the war in palestine is the israelis trying to wipe out the palestinians you foo

After this incident, she never showed up for class again.
This woman is like, 40, from South Africa, seemingly well-educated, and I never liked her anyway. She liked to have the last word, argue everything, and always had this bossy tone to her voice. She didn't even seem remotely Jewish.

Being Jewish just makes her worse.

But, whatever.

As soon as I can be fucked writing about the Gaza genocide, I'll do that. In the meantime, read this, and there's a few articles on SA I'd like to procure.
[if you don't want to read all those, just read this one and this one. Also, some stuff about Hamas.]

Incidentally, super sonic m is Jewish. He says so on his profile. I have no idea why.
'i'm jewish so yeah...'
I dunno.

sucks.

Let that be the be-all and end-all.

This is a terrible movie. Between this and Twilight winning 5 MTV awards, it makes me want to retreat into a hole away from the mass media.

Full review forthcoming, but in the meantime, watch Spoony's. Pretty much sums it up.

Forums closing on 29th

After the vote is finished on the 29th, I will be closing down these forums. Depending on the Vote, I will either make new non bionicle forums for everyone who has lost interest in BIONICLE to go to, or I will link to another already existing site that one of the members has running already. If you still have interest in bionicle, we will be making a new site for the remaining fans to go to. Once it is up and running, we will post the new bionicle forums on www.maskofdestiny.com

Rejoice, we have conquered!
MoD is dead! Long live NMod!

In retrospect, nobody saw this coming. Somehow, activity on MoD has almost completely dropped off. The little rat Swertle has finally disappeared for good.

Imatron decided that the forums will be shut down. The deadline for this has already passed, but he's put up another shitty forum, which he decided, without anyone's input, to call 'The Board of Boards' (moar like The Board of Shit)

Re: THE PROBLEM, THE SOLUTION
« Reply #109 Today at 2:11pm »
Why am I even bothering with this, everyone here against the video games forum either has no interest left in BIONCILE or never had it in the first place, or doesnt even plan to be on the new site anyway, and somone who has all the right to at least have an opinion is being trolled and having his reasons thrown out?

Why cant I change my mind and try keeping another of my hobies on the site that I think can be safly done without ruining the site? I cant even have it up there and remove it later if it doesnt work out because you reject my own valid opinions? FINE, Im done, Im tired of this.

Everyone's a little bit racist, sometimes...

2009-06-19T04:52:00.000-07:00

click for full view, you will need it

And now for the picture that I'm sure a few people wanted, but that nobody was willing to ask for.
Oh, this image is a little bit misleading, it should be something like 'political/religious alignment/time', and some of the fields appear larger than they are, but I'll get around to fixing it some time.
I guess this requires some explaining.

Yes, for most of my life I have been a conservative/militant Christian, aka a 'Christfag'. Although both my parents are Christian, they are fairly lax, so I have my grandparents to blame for my indoctrination in that regard. It was only upon coming into high school that I was finally snapped out of that phase. At first, learning about new religions in the light of an unbiased viewpoint meant that I could appreciate different belief systems for the first time in my life. However, as time went on, I began to hate Christianity, not only for the horrors enacted in its name over history, but for what it had turned me into during my younger years. I eventually retreated into a misanthropic state, with a dash of pangloboantiestablishmentarianism, although that only really came about proper in my militant phase. I studied occult/alternative religion for a while, but never followed it that seriously. [The 'satanism' section above is a bit of a silly approximation: it also includes wicca, heathenism and thelema]
The militant atheist phase was the beginning of my descent into complete hate. Pangloboantiestablishmentarianism [the belief in the disestablishment of all state religions] set in around this point, although as the graph shows I was fairly centre-right around this time. Although I hated religion, I wasn't going to call people out about it, or cut off communication with them for their beliefs. I never really talked about my views to anyone, though. My militant side was quite a big secret.
After a while this evolved into mild national socialism, influenced by people I ran into while browsing on DeviantArt. Yes, I was a non-racist Nazi. This is entirely possible and probably one of the most interesting parts of my political history. There is no real category or name for what I was at this time, because it is impossible for anyone to truly be a 'Nazi' in these times, and I could not call myself a neo-Nazi as this was a completely different [and utterly retarded] system. I went by the original belief system of the NSDAP, and tried to tone down as much as possible the undesirable aspects which were often capitalised on by the neos [which of course the NSDAP did not do]. I had a brief foray into neo-Nazism before realising that it was stupid and returned back to mild National Socialism. Oh, and I was still atheist all this time, in case you were wondering.
After a while, I realised that what I had originally set out to do had degraded into calling myself a Nazi without really doing anything about it [except liking swastikas a lot]. Dismayed, I decided that I wasn't really a Nazi at all, and went back to being centrist. I still, however, really fucking like Nazi uniforms/symbolism. It's a pretty common thing actually.

Incidentally, my hating Judaism is not a result of my nazi history at all. In fact, it's completely independent of it, and I never really hated [or knew much about] it until quite recently.

This year I went to university and approached/was approached by the socialist club. Having been mostly ignorant of politics throughout my entire life, I discovered I was left-wing all along [well, ever since the end of the NS era] and became officially socialist. I'm going to a rally tomorrow, actually.
That is the story of my political/religious history. Now stop calling me a Nazi and give me all your pictures of hot guys in uniforms.

Doomsday's Holocaust Rant, 2009

2009-04-21T18:42:00.000-07:00

Two days ago was Hitler's 120th birthday. It's surprising that people still commemorate the birthday of one who has been dead at least 50 years. But then again, people still celebrate Christmas, despite everybody knowing that's not the actual birthdate.
But what's quite ironic is that the day after, April 21st, is (apparently) the date Auschwitz was liberated, and so has now become Holocaust Rememberance Day, or Yom HaShoah.
Now, everybody knows I have been very vocal about these issues in the past [on certain forums: mostly 4chan, since I haven't really talked about it in other places where it could be misinterpreted and I could lose a lot of respect], and since it's a very touchy topic, I haven't actually blogged about it yet. So here's THIS year's Holocaust rant, and this time, I'm not holding back. I expect to lose about 50% of my readership [which is about 2 people] and if I end up posting this on YouTube, I expect to lose about 50% of my subscribers [about 50 people], and get about five more nazis subscribing to me even though they clearly misinterpreted my videos. People are going to call me racist and/or a nazi, which usually happens anyway even when these things aren't mentioned.

Now, I'm not saying the Holocaust didn't happen. I respect that it did.
What I AM saying, is that there are a lot of misconceptions which have gone into the public lexicon. There are a lot of things which people tend to forget or things which were made up which are often brought up in conversation. And to question these 'facts', many of which have dubious or no evidence apart from oral description [did I mention the Nazis were VERY organised and have written reports of pretty much everything] is to be a Holocaust denier, a racist, a neo-Nazi.

First of all, I'm going to talk about the unfair glorification of and favouritism towards Jews. There. I said it. The Jews get too much credit. It seems that we're not allowed to say anything bad about Israel or the Jews because of the Holocaust. Why else do you think everyone supported Israel's merciless genocide of the Palestinians, year after year, and turn a blind eye to their war crimes, including the bombing of civilian towns and schools, and the use of white phosphorous, a substance forbidden by the United Nations?

But hey, I'm not here to talk about Israel, because that's another topic.
Click the link to the Wikipedia article for Yom HaShoah up the top of this post. Read the first fucking line.

Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laGvura (יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה; "Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day"), known colloquially in Israel and abroad as Yom HaShoah and in English as Holocaust Remembrance Day, is observed as a day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germany and its accessories, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. In Israel, it is a national memorial day.

What can you discern here?
First of all, it's notable that this specifically states that Holocaust Rememberance Day, as a holiday, is ONLY for the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. What about everyone else? What about the homosexuals [incidentally nobody was interred in a KZ just for bieng a homosexual. There had to be a combination of things, such as a homosexual communist or dissenter. Ernst Röhm, head of the SA, was well known to be homosexual, although it was a lifestyle not seen as favourable by the majority of the NS creed], gypsies, Catholics, communists? There were only about four million Jews in Western Europe at the time anyway [edit: this statistic is questionable, I got it from a revisionist website. It depends on what you count as 'Western Europe'. The Wansee Conference of 1942 had the Nazis estimate a total of 11,000,000 jews in all of Europe [east and west] at the time. If you want to see the statistics, the list is here, and the English translation is here. Decide for yourself, but it is definitely not six million in West Europe alone.]. Oh, you say, they could have imported from Eastern Europe. But they didn't, because Stalin put them in his gulags, which killed some twenty million people. Who do you know that can recite that statistic from rote? Who do you know that even KNOWS about Stalin's gulags? Well, that's because after the war, since the USSR helped defeat the Nazis, the UK became friends with Russia. You weren't supposed to say anything bad about them. Speaking out against their crimes was suppressed and covered up. George Orwell couldn't publish Animal Farm for some thirty years due to this, since it was considered to be offensive and critical of the Soviets.
And why the Holocaust? Sure, millions of people died, but there have been WORSE. Why don't we have a universal genocide rememberance day, instead of just one for the Holocaust?
What about the victims of Japanese human experimentation? It was going on around the same time. Their crimes were MORE horrific than those of Mengele and his cohorts. Nobody cared because after all, Japan was the US's job. And they were doing this in China, and nobody cared about China. The Japanese sold their 'results' to the US, were let off scot-free, and resumed medical jobs in Japan. Who remembers that? No, everyone talks about Mengele. And may I mention that making people into lampshades is an urban myth. It didn't happen. It was fabricated.

What about the Armenian Genocide?

Between 2001 and 2007, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) expressed its unwillingness to attend the ceremony. The MCB instead called for a more inclusive day proposing the commemoration of deaths in Palestine, Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, along with the Holocaust. [...] The latter policy has been generally referred to as a boycott, although the MCB leadership has objected to the use of that term. In 2005, Iqbal Sacranie suggested that the deaths of Palestianians should also be remembered.^[2] The MCB policy of withholding participation was condemned variously by Labour MP Louise Ellman [...]
The event also drew similar criticism from the United Kingdom's Armenian community in 2000 which complained that the event remained exclusively for commemorating those who perished in the Holocaust, ignoring the critical aspects of the Armenian Genocide put into action by the Ottoman Empire in 1915. Neil Frater, an official of Tony Blair's "Race Equality Unit", a branch of the Home Office replied that it had consulted the "Holocaust Memorial Day Steering Group" on the issue and agreed that while it understood that the Armenian Genocide was an "appalling tragedy", it wanted to "avoid the risk of the message becoming too diluted if we try to include too much history."^[7]^[8] Frater went on to say that it had gone on with the Steering Group's advice to reject the Genocide, along with the Crusades, colonialism and the Boer War. Frater's comments were met with more widespread criticism, including the principal of the Armenian Evangelical College in Beirut, Lebanon, Zaven Messerlian who stated that "any serious commemoration must include the aetiology of genocide, particularly those of the twentieth century, especially if one encouraged the next."^[7] The UK based organization Refugee Council also supported this position since the event was supposed to include "all victims of genocide."^[9]
The British government faced a flurry of criticism for its decision not include the Armenian Genocide, most notably in the daily newspaper The Independent from its chief Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk.^[10] After months of pressure, the government allowed twenty Armenian survivors to attend the event in its first annual commemoration. Armenians claimed that the British government held out for so long because it wished to preserve its relationship with the successor state of the Ottoman Empire and NATO ally Turkey.^[9]

They get no credit.

Let's look at another part of the Wiki article.

Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laGvura (יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה; "Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day"), [...] is observed as a day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, [...] and for the Jewish resistance in that period.

Jewish resistance? What Jewish resistance? Fleeing to other countries?
Speaking of resistance, the French Resistance also gets too much credit. They made up a VERY small amount of the French population. Most of the French were collaborators! In the end, what did they achieve? Rescue a few crashed British airmen?
What about the White Rose? They were far braver and more active than the French Resistance! AND they were in the thick of it, in Germany, handing out anti-Nazi leaflets, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET

And don't get me started on the Nuremberg Trials. The entire thing was a sham. Everyone on trial had no idea of the extent to which prisoners were mistreated in the KZs, or were even aware there were KZs. They were totally unaware of it. Despite prosecutors taking an oath that nothing was falsified, at least an hour of footage in a single tape was edited. And what do these poor people get for it? They're executed. For following orders in a regime they didn't know was wrong. What would you have done, go back to the Weimar Republic days when your money is so useless it's better to burn it in the street to keep warm? The prisoners were prettied up for the cameras. Given suits and the like, which were taken away after they were put back into their cells.

Anyway, that's my rant. It's not complete, but that's all I can bother to say at the moment.
Incidentally, this link just came up on Zemanta.

Animal conformity

2009-04-14T02:02:00.000-07:00

A dog walks into a bar. It sniffs around, and the owner shoos it out, but not before giving it some food for its trouble.
A bear walks into a bar. It sniffs around, the employees lock themselves in the kitchen, and the bear is captured and put to death for its trouble.

Why is it considered fine to completely domesticate a species [mainly talking about dogs here], make it a slave to its human captors, and have it admonished for showing the most minimal of animal behaviour [barking, sniffing, humping etc.) or even put down for defending itself? Why are certain breeds considered more 'dangerous' than others despite all animals of the same species having the same primal instincts? Why are dingoes considered more dangerous than dogs and shot on sight, despite there having been only 3 dingo attacks on humans in history, and thousands of dog attacks per year? After all, dingoes are just wild dogs.
I'm not a PETA supporter. I don't mind eating meat, after all, we have canines [you know, those pointy teeth for chewing meat] for a reason. And we do TRY to keep it humane. I just find this whole thing about animal conformity completely fucking ridiculous. Bears are just like any other animal: ordinary until you provoke or scare them. It's not the bear's fault that it's big and strong enough to kill a human in one blow, much like it's not our fault that we're big enough to accidentally kill thousands of ants on any walk through the bush.
Also, that Subway employee was really fucking stupid.

Rudd needs to get his priorities straight.

2009-04-07T03:48:00.000-07:00

We all believed that Rudd's rise to power would signal this nation's rising out of capitalism and

into the new age of freedom and prosperity for this much-maligned patch of desert out in the south. Of course, his contradictory 'fixes' are beginning to show that he may even be worse than whatever Howard had to throw at us.

Firstly, and I may or may not have mentioned this before, Rudd, as with any leader of a capitalist nation, has his tongue firmly wrapped around the throbbing cock of the industry, which fucks over those of us on the bottom in order to bring much-undeserved pleasure to itself and its bastard cohorts. While lamenting that Australia will be unable to meet the rest of the world's carbon emission reduction targets, he spends $16 billion (that's Australian dollars, so about 32 bil. pound) on submarines to terrorise the tiny Pacific islands about Oceania [incidentally, Australia has a long history of oppressing everyone in order to try to remain 'top dog' in the Southern hemisphere]. Meanwhile, he's unveiled a plan for a nation-wide broadband system which should 'increase the internet speed by 100%'. Like we need it. Incidentally, that $900 benefit to students only goes to those on youth allowance. Rudd's well known for his draconian prerequisites for youth allowance. As an example, I'm not elegible because my dad earns $2000 more than Rudd says is enough. Many others at this university (which is actually the most prestigious in the state) suffer likewise.

I could go on about the faults of capitalism. But I'd also like to bring up an issue which was recently quite in the spotlight but has now once again faded into obscurity: The war in Gaza. Now I don't really have the time [read: effort] at the moment to write about this topic, as another one has just cropped up and this post is late as it is, so I'll post this for now and make another post about the 2009 Gaza conflict/oppression of Palestinians soon enough.

The Emirates: Sunshine, desert and plenty of camels

2009-03-26T03:40:00.000-07:00

Well here's my belated post about one tiny little country on the tip of the Arabian peninsula. Zemanta's being a bit of a bitch and isn't showing me any pictures as yet, so I have to get my picture from WIKIPEDIA.
So, that's the UAE. Wow. I thought it was that tiny thing right next to it.
So the United Arab Emirates is made up of five (or seven, I can never remember) emirates, which are essentially states controlled by different members of the royal family, called sheiks. The word 'emirate' comes from 'emir', which I don't remember what it means but it sounds cool. The biggest emirate is Abu Dhabi, the capital, which makes up about 85% of the country. We also visited the emirates of Al Ain and Dubai.

The flights to and from Dubai Airport were really great - we went with Emirates and they're all really nice. They have adjustable flatscreens in the back of the seats with software in it so you can watch whatever you want: episodes of TV series, movies, and even listen to a little music. I watched WALL-E again and listened to Metallica and Kraftwerk. I also thoroughly enjoyed the documentaries available. There are cameras in the tail, head and bottom of the airbus so you can view what's going on while listening to music. Watching yourself take off from an airport while blaring Enter Sandman is an amazing experience. We also got a fantastic view on the way out - we got to see the World Islands and the Palm Jumeira; although we missed the photo opportunity we got some great shots of other things. The first couple of days there we took about a hundred photos a day. No, really.
The first night after landing I didn't really do anything but sleep, jet lag I guess. The airport was magnificent though, there was a lot of very interesting architecture including a black waterfall. We drove the 2-3 hours from Dubai to Al Ain, where my mum's friend we were staying with lives. Her house is huge. Her husband trains the royal family's military, so he's filthy rich.
Al Ain is really interesting. It's a bit hard to remember you're in the desert except for all the palm trees. On the way there, there was a petrol station in the middle of the desert. Petrol station one side, the rest, all sand for kilometres...no, really...

On our first day in Al Ain we visited the Al Ain Zoo, which was really something. In our opinion it was much better than the Perth Zoo, and had some amazing animals you won't see anywhere else: the ever-cute jerboa and at least ten species of oryx, one of which is extinct in the wild. (missed the penguins though.)
We then went to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the Emirates. It was quite the mix between modern skyscrapers and traditional houses. We first went to see the Grand Mosque, which was magnificent, followed by a mall filled with designer label clothes. They even had Faberge eggs. We ate KFC there, which was actually made fresh and not like the junk we have. I cannot stress how fucking awesome this KFC is.
We then visited the Emirates Palace Hotel, which is apparentl 7-star, and really fucking fancy. Gold was everywhere...even in the toilets. No, really.
The next day we went to Jebel Hafeet, which is a mountain in Al Ain with fantastic views, and a hotel on top which is interesting. They even have a water park up there. Picture that. A water park. On top of a fucking mountain. In the middle of the fucking desert. In our last day in Dubai we took a bus tour around and had dinner at Planet Hollywood.
And that was about all I remember. Derp.

I'm uploading all my photos onto the 'Bucket (Flickr has draconian monthly limits) very, very slowly.
So far only Al Ain subfolder has stuff in it, and don't forget to check the Al Ain Zoo subfolder.

Stupid Forum of the Whenever: Mask of Destiny, part deux

~~BIG BROTHER~~ IM WATCHIN' U

The saga continues.

My last post regarding MoD is a bit outdated now, so here's some new shit.

Since we last mentioned it, I have been undercover at MoD being an ordinary member. I came out that I was previously banned on the actual forum, but decided not to say who for fear of naziimatron's backlash. However several other members seem to know, and I did talk to Deimos about it last year.

This is an old conversation that took place on New MoD, the vigilantes' offshoot of MoD for trollan and bitchan. I'm an admin there now.

K I found a proxy that alllows me to register ;) I'm now 'spectacularbush'. I have backup email addresses, so that's good. You guys can use PookMail if you want, it's the same as trashmail but a little less reliable.

Regarding Immy, I hate his guts. I rally don't give a shit if he forgives me or not, but he's a whiny bastard and I'm a little glad I don't have to put up with his shit.

It would be nice though :P I didn't really do much bad stuff except for having nazi pictures and fifty hitler posts

Maybe you could Email Fagitron and beg for forgivness on your knees and Suck his Cock Aegis. Then maybe hed unban you for sure.

But of course you won't do that, and i wouldn't have you do taht.

Kartelkopff Im working on unbanning you, because you had a clean slate and then those nazi images, which shouldn't be a perm ban in my book.

I SENT FAGGOTRON AN E-MAIL! HE REPLIED:

Im short on time so Ill get the offense list later, your more likley to be let back in than some of the other members though since what you did was in protest to what you thoughtof as wrong instead of just to harass staff. I dont care who else loved the comic, just becasue someone else loved it doesnt make it any less offensive to me or theother staff. Any member I bann has been for breaking rules. Aegis said many rude things and practicaly attacked the staff every time we so much as edited a profanity out of his post. He's been given many chances, Ive banned and unbanned him at least six times. Some of his humor was okay, but the humor that often was intedned to insult wasnt. I just cant facilitate someone of his nature on the forums. Even now he keeps making fake accounts on the forums just to come in and and cause trouble, Im not going to knowingly let him back in for this. Ill get back to you later, Im running late for work now so Ill answer the other things when I get back.

-------------- Original message ----------------------

Imatron, I just want to talk, okay?>
First, when you banned Aegis and refused to unban him, when you banned Explorer for "trolling" yet let Deimos go scot free, then when you banned TK and Doomsday, you sent an unmistakable message- unintentional or accidental possibly, but unmistakable: "People who are not thin-skinned and humourless, utter morons, or 16/fs are not welcome here".
Second, TK and Doomsday are doing all that they did that made you want to ban them because they want to see you unban Aegis. I'm warning you, I know Doomsday from my days on SVMB and she is not to be trifled with. I would advise that you unban Aegis or risk bringing a... well... shitstorm down on MoD. A shitstorm I feel it does not deserve, and is probably already happening.
Third, concerning the rule against joke links- It is too stringent. There are scary things that can be joke-linked to, and compared to them, RickRoll/DuckRoll/ZOMBIE ATTACKED are like a three-year old leaving a worm in your sandwich compared to young insane adults on MTV performing an insane prank that causes massive damage and anal burns to the victim and gives much lulz to everyone in the vicinity (which is then imitated by thirteen-year-old boys who end up giving themselves massive anal burns, causing their parents to sue MTV and make them shift the timeslot of the young insane adults involved in the original to an inconvenient time which causes much anti-lulz to those who were amused by the original prank). To mention those scary things by name- Pain Series, Tubgirl, Goatse, LemonParty, and so on and so forth.
Fourth, Those comics I sent you... you know that member "Kokua"? Well I sent those to her earlier, and she LOVED them.
Fifth, If members are going to get pissy that someone made humour of them- well, that's too bad! They set themselves up to be made humour of anyway. Think about it.
Sixth, I am curious, what is my full offense list?

Erm, what I did was in protest instead of harassing staff. What the fuck?

EMAIL FUN WITH FAGGOTRON

One last thing, I realized I forgot to talk about Deimos who you mentioned. Between Explorer and Deimos they had been going back and fourth with eachother, and I think what happened was that I first delt with Exporer who was reported as harrassing a member, who was Deimos. I looked at the urls provided by the member who reported them, and saw Explorer as being the agressor. It wasnt until after I talked to and removed Explorers access that I received complaints about Deimos, in which he had also been causing trouble. I started searching through his posts and found that he also had had his fare share of trolling. I had been about to ban him but I found that the members took it on themselves to make a topic and talk to him for what he had said, and worked things out with him. Rather than ban him and negotiate being invited back to the forums like with you and Explorer, I honored his word in the topic where the members talked to him and gave him a warning. I remember propaganda minister, we may have been able to get along better if we had gotten off on the right foot. In protest to how I was running things she called me Nazitron, I PMed her about it, asking how I was supposed to take the apparent insult, if it was more of a nickname or actualy intended to insult me, rather than just ban her on the spot for it. She expressed her dislikings for how I was running things in a reasonable manner in her responses, and I heard her out. I wasnt willing or able to do some of what she wanted, I did seriously connsider some of her points and suggestions though. I got complaints about her Nazi images, so I removed them and PMed her to let her know I removed them for the complaints. She responded by grabbing a helper and using him to help her cover the forums with oversized Nazi images and hate-phrases. It took Tasaraki roughly ten minutes to clean up the mess, where he eventualy discovered a "delete all posts/topics by member in the past (insert number)days". At this time Im unwilling to knowingly let her or her helper back in, one because the fact she did this after I heard her out felt like a slap in the face, and will take time for me to get over, second becasue I pretty much run things the same way as when she was removed, and I feel like it would be inviting her back into the same circumstances that she found uncomfortable in the first place and would further complicate things. As Nate had wisely put it, Moderation on the forums has lagged behind to the point that when anyone tried to moderate that it cased trouble of one kind or another. I promise Ill do my best to moderate fairly for everyone, with stuff like this happening my best intentions are often misunderstood or cause other complications. If you see instances of my lack of speed and ability to moderate fairly to you and other members I ask for your patience with me and your help to notify me of these instances.

Wait he took fifty hitler posts seriously?

what

I don't know what he means by 'hate messages' either, unless 'NAZIIMATRON KILLED MOD' is a hate message now

anyhow

The Hazard Forum has been eliminated for dubious reasons thanks to naziimatron.

Here's my post [in the topic linked] reproduced here for posterity:

I think we should discuss the closure of the Hazard Forum. This is because the actual topic was closed far before I could get to it, despite stasiimatron saying the topic was left up 'to discuss its removal'. If this is the wrong topic for it, I shall create a new one.

I understand it mostly went unused, but your reasons for deleting it were dubious at best. The whole point of the board was to post things that would ordinarily be restricted by the rules, so saying that it 'volated (sic) ... the basic rules of the forums themselves.' is complete bullshit.

I don't understand what you mean by topics which 'v[i]olated the rules stated in the agreement' as I'm quite sure there was no pr0nz or any more flaming than this forum usually has in its spam-filled gutters (the only exceptions I can think of are the fetish thread, which didn't actually suggest anything, and the offensive jokes thread). Please explain.

Furthermore I find it incredibly hypocritical how you allow[ed] the use of 'violence ... and gore ... that may be equivalent to a rated R movie, or rated M(ature) video games' when you also explicitly forbid 'post[ing of] explicit or even suggestive material of certain acts' for fear that the automated ads might pick up on them (assuming that people actually click on them, which I assure you they do not). I believe those who are viewing the material are mature enough for suggestive things, especially since we're talking about gore here. I understand the restriction on pr0nz, but suggestive things are fairly tame. Especially compared to gore. I guess it just shows the US' unjustified hatred of nudity and such as opposed to graphic violence.

I don't miss the place as it was indeed not very active, but I would simply like a better explanation for your reasoning, as it is not a very good argument and indeed seems to be contradictory in several places.

- Cheers,
Specceh

Swert is back and causing trouble again. Thankfully, more people are waking up now and seeing that he is, indeed, a douche.
The 'dox' mentioned are documents Aegis linked a number of people with proof that Swert had needlessly censored and removed some topics. And then of course he called it 'warez' and tried to pin it on us.

The joke I mentioned has a punchline like this:

"This is only $200."
"Yes, I'm suing you for $2300 for sleeping with my wife."
"But I didn't."
"But she was here, and you could have."

You can see how incredibly ridiculous this is.

Let's begin.

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968)
"Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid."
This is one of those films you never forget...if you sat through it all. People will find this film boring, but I really liked it. (incidentally, I keep finding the poster a giant double entendre, goddamn it) The cinematic techniques used by Kubrick in one of the most famous of his films are extraordinary and were really ahead of its time. To this day many of its sequences are parodied, and HAL9000 has secured his place in history. It formed space and spacecraft into a work of art, and made people fear technology for generations.
Incidentally, I have been trying to find most of the songs used in the soundtrack - I have Also Sprach Zarathustra, and An der Schönen blauen Donau - if anyone can tell me the names of some of the others, let me know, goddamn it.

Rated PG, I think.

9/10

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

Image by Nick Slide via Flickr

(1971)
"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, Dim being really dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening."
Based on the book by Anthony Burgess and directed by Stanley Kubrick, ACO is one of those legendary films you either love or hate, whether for its ultraviolence, bizarre direction, or strange remixes of classical music. Malcom McDowell as 'no last name' Alex is creepy, disgusting, and oddly likable all at the same time. It's a classic that has been parodied and referenced in popular culture over and over again, and was banned in several countries for its content.
Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's tied with WALL-E for my Best Film Ever.
From the very memorable opening sequence to the strange ending, this film will have you hooked...if you can stand the obscenity.

Rated R in most countries.

10/10

BLADE RUNNER (1982)
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die."
I saw this film in high school and I loved it.
Another film based on a novel by Philip K. Dick, this one being Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Blade Runner is another dystopian tale of technology and fear of technology. Its vast cities inspired many other films, most notably Star Wars, and its grim portrayal of the future came as a contrast to other sci-fi of the time. Many of my peers didn't like the film, they didn't 'get it'. My teacher (who is awesome) and I forged a friendship over this film, as I have mentioned in other posts...but that's irrelevant.
The characters are unlikeable and gritty. Except for Roy Batty and JF. Sebastian, who are awesome, badass and insane. Well, JF isn't badass.
The atmosphere is bleak and realistic. Although flying cars are in effect, this is acceptable, as almost every futuristic sci-fi film has them. I think the only ones I've seen that don't are WALL-E, Minority Report and Dune.

There's also a fuckton of symbolism, some subtle, some more overt.

Watch this movie. You will not regret it.

Rated M.

9/10

CLOVERFIELD (2008)
"You know who Superman is?! Oh, I'm feeling a connection here...are you aware of Garfield?"
-contains spoilers-
What can I say, this film was different, but good.

Image via Wikipedia

A lot of people said the party scene was boring and dragged on. Although it was a bit long, it provides great character development and really makes you feel sorry when the characters inevitably die.
Except for when that girl blows up. That was awesome.

I also loved how the film cut away to previous events, and with the manga providing some epic backstory (which isn't really needed to understand the movie, but might be revealed in the sequel), it really fleshes out the character of the creature.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire feel of the piece. Some say the shaking camera causes nausea, but no-one in the cinema felt nauseous or had to leave to puke, so that's a good sign. There were several moments where you think the movie is over, only for someone to get up, pick up the camera and continue on, the situation becoming more and more hopeless for our hapless protagonists. The camera really gives a personal side to things. As Jenohart pointed out afterward, most monster movies just show the monster trashing things, but not the problems of the people in its way. It was great to only see things from an ordinary civilian's viewpoint. For most of the movie the monster is only glimpsed, but as the film progresses more and more of it is revealed, until, in the climax, it stares at the camera for a good 30 seconds before attacking.

Of course, we all expected the 'rocks fall, everybody dies' ending, [for the uninformed: not literally, it's just the name of a trope] but the way it got there was amazing. The ending, though abrupt, is a good one, and although it doesn't wrap up any loose threads, what were you expecting?!

Unfortunately, there were a few drunk yobbos in the back who didn't 'get' the ending and started yapping on about how there was no credits music. Actually, there WAS, being the only soundtrack in the entire film, excluding the background music played during the party.

Also, stick around after the credits. A bit of backwards audio is played.

Rated M.

DONNIE DARKO (2002)
"Twenty-eight days... Six hours... Forty-two minutes... Twelve seconds... That is when the world will end."
This is one fucked up movie.
Just when you think you've got it all worked out, along comes another twist that will confuse you again.
And then you watch it again and realise everything was foreshadowed all along.
I watched the original cut for English class and it was really cool. The ending is extraordinary.
I can't really describe this film. It's surreal, it's fantastic, and it's one big mindfuck.

Rated M.

FULL METAL JACKET (1987)
"Today... is Christmas! There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty! Chaplain Charlie will tell you about how the free world will conquer Communism with the aid of God and a few Marines! God has a hard-on for Marines because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep Heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Corps! Do you ladies understand?"
I liked the first half of this movie, but after that it got really boring.
I particularly liked the characterisation of the legendary Sergeant Hartmann, who incidentally has been parodied a lot and even crossed over into real life drill training, and has been quoted in at least one song by every intrustrial band I listen to. I also liked Private Pyle.
Although I understand the political ramifications of this film, I felt it dragged on a lot.

This movie is also completely responsible for the introduction of the term 'hagane' ('fullmetal') into the Japanese language. It means 'stubborn'. Now you know why so many anime are called 'Full Metal _____'

Rated MA, I think.

6/10

METROPOLIS

Image by Steven Combs via Flickr

(1927)
"The mediator between Head and Hands...is the Heart!"
This is an awesome film directed by Fritz Lang (yes, the guy in the Fullmetal Alchemist movie...which is worth watching just for the reference to this film) in 1927, making it the oldest film I've ever seen. It also kicks the ass of a lot of modern films.
It was way ahead of its time, using amazing effects with MIRRORS and portraying a view of the future that hadn't been seen before.
It's also a silent film (meaning it's easy to translate, just change the captions) with amazing music and actors. You haven't seen awesome actors until you've seen the proles in this movie.
I swear Kraftwerk were inspired by this film. Not just in the music itself, but the titles. I mean, come on. The Man-Machine?

Incidentally, the 'metropolitan' signs indicating staircases into the metro in Paris seem to have been inspired by this film.

Rated G, I think.

MINORITY REPORT (2002)
"It's like my daddy used to say. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king."
A lot of people didn't like this film because Tom Cruise was in it. I've not seen many of his films, so I can't judge the movie on that standard.
This was another film we watched in English class at uni. I really liked it. I like dystopia, and I like science fiction, I like Philip K. Dick, who wrote the short story this film is loosely based on (also the novel for Blade Runner) and I like thinking films. This film has a lot of similarities to other texts: Oedipus Rex, Dune, Blade Runner, 1984, to name a few. I loved this film, although it's not among my favourites. Some will think it's 'weird', but it's much more comprehensible than Donnie Darko, for example. I didn't think much of the characters, because they take a backseat to the underlying themes of the film. The sci-fi isn't too over-the-top and many of its concepts are very plausible.

Rated M.

WALL-E (2008)
"AUTO, you are relieved of duty!"
-contains minor spoilers regarding the existence of robots other than WALL-E and EVE in the film, which you should know about already, but at the time of its release, it was very tight-lipped-
I can't get enough of this film. It's just...legendary. It's beautiful. It's art. It's everything a film should be, and what makes animated films so special. It has that Disney magic. Younger kids probably won't understand its lack of dialogue much and find its long sweeping shots boring and uneventful, but by god is this probably the best movie ever. From the opening sequence to the finale, this movie will give your eyes an orgasm and make your heart melt for every mindfucking second.

AUTO is one of the greatest villains I remember from a Disney film. He's no Chernobog: he has humble origins, but he exercises his power like Big Brother, although he has good intentions. He's a mix between HAL 9000 and GlaDOS, and his voice is fucking creepy. Everyone and their dog should watch this film, regardless of your opinion about animation or Disney.

Rated G.

10/10

WATCHMEN

Image via Wikipedia

(2009)
"This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!'... and I'll look down and whisper 'No.' "
(film poster wouldn't come up on Zemanta, and I can't be fucked uploading it myself, so you get a different one instead)
Having never read the graphic novel but having heard amazing things about it, I at first thought the film would suck. Then I saw the trailer, and I knew this would be awesome. I am now trying to find the book, (again, I saw it on sale before the film was announced, but didn't buy it) but it's always taken in sci-fi club.
Well, what can I say about Watchmen that hasn't already been said? It kicks ass. It deconstructs the superhero genre. It deconstructs fucking everything. And the script is written by David Hayter.
FUCKING
DAVID
FUCKING
HAYTER
FUCKING
SOLID
SNAKE
FUCK
YEAH
I really liked the opening sequence, too.
If you're looking for an action film, this is not it. This is a vigilante's muse on the world with massive political undertones. It drags on. If you wanted to see an action film, you will be very disappointed. I didn't expect anything but awesomeness, and I got it.

Also, the sex scene goes for too long.

Rated MA over here, R in the US.

Bias in newspaper titles/Academy Awards controversy

2009-02-26T18:34:00.000-08:00

There has been a lot of controversy lately about the Academy Awards and the recent rise of what journalists are labelling 'Holocaust films'. There has been debate over some films which were not nominated, and some which, apparently, did not deserve to be nominated. The truth is that often many of the films nominated at the Oscars are crap. It's more a popularity contest. I haven't seen Slumdog Millionaire, but no matter how good it was, it did not deserve some eight nominations. Even in the UK I realised that the popularity of the film was majorly over-the-top.
I along with many others are dismayed that WALL-E, probably the best film of 2008, obtained the award for Best Animated Feature (of course) but was not nominated for Best Picture, but of course films made the year before are almost never put in the Oscars. Except for The Dark Knight, but that's because Heath Ledger died and the dead guy always wins something. I also have not seen Gran Torino, but there was supposedly bias there, too, in that it wasn't nominated, supposedly due to controversial subject matter.

As aforementioned, there has been controversy over 'Holocaust films', some of which are not even centring around the Holocaust but do centre around a character belonging to the National Socialist regime. I refer, of course, to The Reader and Valkyrie. There have been a lot of other 'Holocaust films' released recently though: the amazing Die Fälscher/The Counterfeiters, Boy in the Striped Pajamas...the list goes on. In the case of The Reader, there was controversy that the film (which is based on a book, but nobody is told that, [hell I didn't even know until I had to read it for university] and the author of the book was not criticised) that the film 'evokes sympathy' for the main character, who is a reformed KZ guard, and thus supposedly supports Holocaust denial and National Socialist beliefs. What the fuck? I find it very disconcerting that anyone who was alive during that time period, even if they were reformed, is somehow not allowed to have positive feelings directed towards them for fear of supporting the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil regime.
When Valkyrie (which I have also not seen) was first released over here, the subtitle on the weekly entertainment digest read 'TOM CRUISE COURTS CONTROVERSY IN VALKYRIE' (presumedly the fact that he wears a nazi uniform in the film and looks very nice doing it, despite the fact that his character was not a nazi supporter and, well, the whole film centres around his plot to assassinate Hitler.)
Upon reading the article, there was no controversy mentioned. SURPRISE
OH, but there was a funny quote or two from the interviewees, Tom Cruise and some other guy.

The other guy:

"In school we had a little nazi club..." Of course, the children were too young to know what a nazi was, let alone what they did. They just thought it looked cool. "One day I came home with my own little swastika armband coloured in crayon, and my Jewish mother berated me over the stove...I never made that mistake again"

lulz

Tom Cruise:

When I was younger I watched a lot of WWII films and documentaries. I always thought "Why didn't anyone just shoot Hitler?"

...wait, what?
HITLER WAS LOVED BY THE PEOPLE OF GERMANY UNTIL WORD GOT OUT ABOUT THE GENOCIDE
AND YOU CAN'T JUST ASSASSINATE SOMEONE LIKE THAT
IT'S FUCKING HITLER
HE'S ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY BODYGUARDS AND HALF A PRIVATE ARMY
PLUS GOEBBELS, GÖRING, HIMMLER AND SOME OTHER DUDES

speaking of valkyries, Ride of the Valkyries was in Watchmen. It was disconcerting.
I shall write a full review of the film once I finally finish my Emirates post

ROYALE WITH CHEESE plus sodding buses

2009-02-14T15:10:00.001-08:00

Although my holiday is now officially over and I'm back in Ausfailia, I stil have many posts still to make.

First off, I saw one of the Christian buses. (Two actually, one right behind the other. Weird how I actually saw more of them in thirty seconds than the atheist buses over the entire trip.) It actually managed to offend me. 'The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God'? 'There is definitely a God, so stop worrying'? Doesn't that count as hate speech? They're calling us fools! That's like saying 'all atheists are stupid and deluded because they fail to believe in our ripoff of over 9000 religions and stories which are so ancient most haven't heard of them because we wiped them all out lawl. Mithras? Gilgamesh? What's that? Sounds like a Lord of the Rings ripoff.' I raged quietly. Aegis/Blastcage said The Times is a much better newspaper, so I read it and was confronted by a bunch of Christians complaining that they're the most discriminated against group in the nation...wait what? On the way into France we also passed through British customs, and there was a Turk and his wife who had been pulled aside for 'random' checking. The officer who was at the head of our line was taking a long time to scrutinise an Arabian passport, maybe he thought it was fake because it was Arabic? My cousin said she even got stopped tonnes of times when she was tanned, but gets stopped like never now she's whiter. Also we saw this poor Tibetan monk in a wheelchair going into Australia. He was having a hard time at customs because, well, he couldn't get out of his chair so they had to search him while he was still in it. We later saw him declaring some stuff. I felt sorry for him.

FRANCE WAS AWESOME. We visited Musee D'Orsay, the Louvre (Mona Lisa is so overrated. I didn't want to see it, but there's much more awesome stuff) and various other tourist spots. Tonnes of people wore fur and ushankas - even saw one with the Soviet coat of arms on it. I squee'd. I think there must be quite the Russian minority in France. There was a lot of Cyrillic graffiti around. However, there were a fuckton of poor homeless people (one had a puppy) Unlike the poor homeless people in London however, these remain mostly quiet and sit on the side of the road with a small sign saying to please give money for something, I don't really speak French. A few I didn't even notice until I almost ran into them, they sat so still and blended in with their shawls and etc. There were also buskers on the Metro (the Parisian underground train), which are awesome. If you see a fat Italian dude with an accordion singing in Spanish, give him a couple euro on my behalf.
Homeless people in London are massively sad. They're hired to sell the newspaper The Big Issue, which like nobody buys, so they're sitting on the side of the road wearing rags and stereotypical hobo clothes, waving newspapers around saying 'could someone pleeeeeeeeeeeeease buy The Big Issue?' in some slurred half-drunk voice.

One of the main things we planned to do was go to McDonalds in France and order a Royale with Cheese, a la Pulp Fiction. However the other food in France was so über (or should I say 'magnifique') we ended up only looking at the menu, which was posted outside. We didn't get a photo although I did find one on the net. (click for full size) Yep, not only is there a Royale with Cheese, but also a Royale Deluxe and Royale with Bacon! And look, they have beer there too. AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT NO PAPER CUP. I MEAN LIKE A GLASS OF BEER.

Speaking of good food, there's a chain of cafés in the UK (also a few in the US) called Pret A Manger. They have the fucking best food ever. You must have their potato chips. They make Kettle look like a pile of shite. There's a patisserie in Paris called La Genovese which makes the best chocolate muffins.

So yeah, France was great. THERE WERE SOLDIERS EVERYWHERE
Like at all the major tourist spots there are some commandos wandering around with huge fucking machineguns. My mum didn't take a picture because she reckoned she wouldn't be allowed and the camera might be confiscated or something. >_>;
Then we went to the Arc De Triomphe, which was fucking huge, and there must have been some parade or something going on there because there were more soldiers and veterans down underneath there with flags and stuff. Incidentally, on one of the double-decker buses in London we drove past a military barracks and the bus was just high enough for us to see over the large wall and into it. Pretty funny. There were some soldiers there chatting to an officer.

IT FUCKING SNOWED WHEN WE WERE IN LONDON LIKE BUCKETS
it shut down the entire tube and bus network
I was dancing about on a table doing my best A Clockwork Orange impression and had shitloads of fun. Also my cousin took a picture of me holding up a glass of water (I had an evil face for some reason) and it looked exactly like the opening shot from that movie. My mum deleted it though. :/

In London we went to Harrods. It's fancy and disgusting, although there was a lovely opera singer performing there. The Egyptian imagery and hieroglyphs are reminiscent of WAFI (more on that later) but they clearly did not do the research (unlike WAFI). Come on, Isis with a snake's tail? A whole bunch of circled hieroglyphs (representing the names of pharoahs)? The obviously did it just because it looks cool.

Next up: post on the Emirates.

More bus woes & Big Brother

2009-02-05T13:06:00.000-08:00

We actually hit the rush hour on the way back home via the Tube. It was freaky, since we were essentially a ton of proles being herded through tight tunnels, Metropolis-style, while the CCTV cameras looked on - a number of them, from the view we were coming in, appeared like HAL9000's eye.

Also, thelondonpaper, that miserable stack of propaganda, is hoeing out anti-atheism again. So the Christians got offended by the atheist bus campaign and have shelled out money for an ad campaign which says 'There is definitely a God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.' This has been funded by three sects, the Russian Orthodoxes, the Catholics and I think the Baptists.

So, it's fine to completely confirm Christianity, but the merest sliver of an iota of assumption that there may be a chance of a god not existing (once again, the word 'probably' had to be added to the atheist bus campaign in order to be allowed) is slandered? They had to add 'probably', but it's okay to say that there 'definitely' is a god? And wouldn't the existence of a god be more worrying than the lack of one? thelondonpaper said that the atheist bus campaign 'offended believers' but the first line of its article said 'God works in mysterious ways, and he may use the buses to prove it'. So the very papers are run by fundies. Great.

I seriously considered writing into thelondonpaper to protest, but I've been reading through the columns and have confirmed that it's full of idiots. Feel free to email yourview@thelondonpaper.com if you'd like on my behalf.

OFF TO PARIS TOMORROW

2009-01-31T11:54:00.000-08:00

I actually saw one of the atheist buses a few days ago. And I mean one. There really weren't many of them used, which is interesting considering the HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS

I also saw George Orwell's house. Kickass. Also went to the antique market and they were selling gasmasks. My mum asked me why I would want one. :/

Anyway, we were watching The 51st State/Formula 51 and there's a few scenes where the protagonists are fighting neo-Nazis. My mum said something about 'fucking skinheads, they're all white supremists (sic)' I replied 'Mum, not all skinheads are racists'. But of course she was like 'NO, that's what they're like darling'. Fuck. I've long stopped bothering to correct her countless mistakes, but it's just stupid now. She's also of the belief that children in Germany aren't taught about the Holocaust and that they believe it was justified, what the fuck?

Anyway, saying that all skinheads are white supremacists is like saying that all metalheads are Satanists. With some differences. Although a long time ago many skinheads were indeed 'white nationalists' (neo-Nazis will never call themselves racists or neo-Nazis. They'll always say 'white nationalists' or 'National Socialists') especially after the war, there were, even then a large proportion of the skin culture opposed to them. 'Skin' has nothing to do with political leanings, it's a whole culture, much like, say, goth. It has a style of dress, which you'd probably know of, and usually skins listen to punk or rock. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I feel sorry for the 'real' skinheads, because the racists give the rest of them a bad name.

There was a poll on MSNBC the other day along the lines of 'Should Wikipedia ban users from edited or creating pages?' What? That's the entire point of a wiki!

more stuff later

Holiday Update

2009-01-26T23:50:00.001-08:00

I'm posting now from the house I'm staying in in London for a quick update. The Emirates were fantastic, and I hope to make a detailed post soon. I was also thinking of starting up another blog for holiday posts, but this will do for now.

Regarding London, first impressions were terrible. The airport staff were unfriendly and glum. The airport itself wasn't flash, and was really quite drab. We flew over on Emirates so we had a brilliant flight, though. However, apart from the bobbies at the airport, most people are actually quite nice in this country. The architecture is fantastic, and although the weather is quite cold, you'll be fine wearing a few extra layers of clothing and covering up. We visited good old Doc Martens, and there was an actual, real life British skinhead in there. I feel kinda sorry for the genuine skinheads because they have to put up with the stupid neo-Nazis giving them a bad name. This guy was pretty cool until he opened his mouth, after which he seemed a bit drunk. Might have just been the Cockney accent though. He talked to the shopkeep for a bit before vanishing just as quickly as he had arrived. Really weird.

I kinda have to post regarding the PC and CCTV everyone talks about in this country. It's true that CCTV is everywhere. There are notices around, especially on the Underground, about reporting suspicious activity, the police are watching to make the city a better place, bla bla. Cameras are quite sinister, especially since many of them in the Underground, and Overground, as well as a few rooftops, loudspeakers and etc. are covered in barbed wire for some reason. I originally figured it was to stop folks pulling them down, but I really have no idea now.

Two days in the UK and I'm already talking like one! :/

Well, at least they aren't calling it 'propaganda' anymore.

Update on the atheist buses campaign. Yep, it's been banned.

I was going to type out the whole article from the newspaper until I discovered the entire thing had been plagiarised from The Telegraph, without credit given. So here's the link.

Okay, I still wonder why these are "offensive and broach standards on taste and decency". They even had to put in the word 'probably' to pass guidelines! Why is it that flat-out proselytising is allowed, but the mere suggestion of secularism is enough to be considered a hate crime?

He said: "If you're going to put out what appears to be a factual statement then you have to be able to back it up. They've got to substantiate this proposition that in all probability, God doesn't exist."

There is plenty of goddamn proof to explain things that religion did before. There's no need to PROVE the existence of something that there's no evidence for the existence of. Stupid religious nuts are always going to argue for existence even though it can never be proven, and never be completely disproven. I thought Britain was pretty fine with atheism, but it appears not.

Members of the public donated £140,000 to the Atheist Bus Campaign after its founder, the writer Ariane Sherine, suggested there should be an antidote to religious posters on public transport that "threaten eternal damnation" to non-believers.
Some supporters of the movement, which has now paid for 800 bendy-buses across Britain to carry the posters for a month as well as placing 1,000 adverts on Tube trains, had wanted a stronger slogan that denied God's existence categorically. But the word "probably" was included in order to meet ASA rules.

See, these people supported it, but now they're trying to ban it because a few people complained.
Apparently hundreds of religious groups complained in the US, which is sorta understandable. We're never going to get equal rights, ever.

I was going to make a post about Metropolis, which I saw the day before yesterday and absolutely adored, but something has come up and I believe it's my duty to complain about it. I might even put up a video on YouTube to reach a bigger audience, because the public need to know.

The press release in question is here. A discussion is currently on /v/ so folks may want to go there to catch up, it is a great discussion.

So once again the folks in the US have no idea what they are doing, and blame everything on new media. People have said this about books, videos, music, and whatever the newest thing to come out is. Vidya have been persecuted unfairly for some time, and it's absolute bullshit.

Firstly, someone on /v/ said that it's mainly because vidya are interactive, in which case we should ban drama classes.

I don't even need to bother saying why this is stupid.

America's not exactly filled with.. Rational types.

Personally, Violent Videogames make me feel good on the inside.
They keep down those little urges.
You know the urges you get when you hear that whining kid at the movies.
When the soon to be mother in law wont shut the fuck up...?
When you see that bastard holding up the line because he can't fucking read?
You know, the urge to reach into your pocket , pull out your pocket knife and grab the idiot by his hair. Throw him down to the ground, sit on his chest and play connect the dots with his face?

But no, if I do that I have to accept responsibility.

Videogames don't need warning labels.
PEOPLE NEED WARNING LABELS FOR THEIR OWN SAKE
It's called RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN FUCKING ACTIONS.

People LOVE to blame OTHER people for their own faults and videogames have never been any exception.

If parents these days actually , you know did PARENTING rather than letting a digital device raise their kids this kind of shit would'nt be as widespread.

Oh it would still exist, it will always exist.

No, I think you take the cake.
OP has a point, if the problem is massive amounts of violence (or at least they think it is) in entertainment, why don't books carry the same label?
Chapter 5-Winter of Yukio Mishima's "The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea" describes a more violent act than I've ever seen in a vidya game. And I was fucked up beyond belief after reading it back then (young kid, and my parents made me read literature).
Classic literature and school curriculum books are more violent than most video games, but as kids we are forced to read them. Ironically, if we were to write anything vaguely similar, no matter how good it was, we would have been sent to the counseling office and suspended.

Because video games are a new media. The old fossils in Congress have never played them, and know that the majority of the constituents (the elderly) have never played games, and so they're a convenient excuse for violence in society when the real culprits are the sad state of the economy being left to the current generations by the boomers, and the refusal of the boomer generation to retire and allow the younger generations to take over well paid positions. Leaving millions of americans trapped in low paying purposeless jobs with no prospect of any sort of advancement.

Video games are just a scape goat for shitty parenting. 'BAWWW IT'S NOT LIKE MOVIES AND BOOKS BECAUSE YOU'RE TAKING PART IN IT'. Fine, cunts, lets ban paint balling and drama lessons in school as well then. OH WAIT.

I'm seriously shocked by how many people (including my friends) feed off this bullshit from the media. Their stupidity is almost sickening.

This has been repeating itself since the dawn of the United States. The generation in control is terrified of any new form of media that comes out and that media is condemned and villainized until the old generation moves out of the way and the younger generation takes over. New shit our parents did as kids were blamed for things, new shit we do are blamed for things by our parents, and if you think we won't do the exact same thing to whatever comes out during our kids' childhood then you're deluded.

They put health warnings on cigarettes and people still bitch about them and they passed laws limiting where you can fucking smoke in NYC.
You can't smoke in the park.
You can't smoke in apartment buildings( upper area ones)
You can't smoke in bars.
You can't smoke in resturants.
Then they ran taxes up on them. It's also illegal (in this fucking state. Thanks Hillary. Thanks Bloomberg) to order them online and people caught smuggling them in suffer Tax Evasion charges.

Sounds like complete and utter bullshit to anybody who doesn't live in the City.

I'M BACK

2009-01-09T17:25:00.000-08:00

So, after a hiatus I've returned to wreak havoc on the internet with my blog of glorious glory and few readers.

Let's start with a news thingy. Although I heard this discussion on the radio, here's an appropriate link anyway.
A court in NSW wants to make topless sunbathing illegal - only for women. What the fuck?
Radio discussion said that a group (Australian Sex Party, lawl) was going to file for discrimination if the bill went through. More discussion was - why are women's breasts considered more offensive than men's? Everyone was against it. Apparently the government's interests are completely different to the public's, even though they think they know what the public wants, they really don't.

Last night I attended a cousin's 21st birthday party. Since the air-conditioning in the hall was freezing (we were booked for a public hall) we went outside for a while, where it was much warmer and most of the adults were hanging around smoking. This girl saunters over to us from the street with shittily-streaked hair all messy and shit, tonnes of makeup and scantily-clad. Clearly a druggie.
"hey guys do you have a spare cigarette I really need one like please I need a spare cigarette could you give me one please"
"Uh..."
"PLEASE"
"How old are you?"
"...17"
"That's underage you know, like..."
"please give me a cigarette"
So anyway the girl gets a cigarette and she's like '...thanks' and walks off, followed by some rapper wannabes who appeared out of nowhere and some yobbos driving past going 'yo, let's go!'

Fuck, that poor girl wasted her life. She's my age and already addicted to nicotine and who knows what else...

also at same birthday party I discovered and met my two German cousins who I didn't even know existed, what's the chance of that

AND NOW FOR RANDOM STUFF.

2008-12-26T02:24:00.000-08:00

IGNORING TEMPTATION HERE AND NOT MENTIONING CHRISTMAS AT ALL (Christmas was a non-event this year. We spent a few days on a vineyard in Margaret River. It was awesome. Nonetheless, a fruitful winter solstice to you all.)

First things first, I went to the Aviation Heritage Museum a few weeks ago (I have a thing for military stuff, mostly aircraft and uniforms, if you haven't noticed yet) and put the photos up on Flickr. Clicky

Second I'd like to just raise a few points regarding the whole dolphin-killing thing. Every year people on this side of the pond start complaining that Japan is slaughtering dolphins and holy shit they're so inhuman I'm never buying Japanese stuff bla bla bla it's ridiculous. One letter to the editor (I really don't need to stress the idiocy of the letters to the editor in our newspapers again, so I'll try not to do that too much) said something about them boycotting a holiday to Broome and cancelling an order of pearls for her daughter from Broome because they're a sister city with Taiji in Japan who is apparently conducting a secret dolphin-killing cult and holy shit look at these graphic pictures on the front page of the newspaper doesn't it disturb you Japan is evil
You can't make this shit up if you TRIED. Of course, the newspaper tried and succeeded, so ho ho ho.

Now I'm sure some of you are clutching your faces in horror right now. "How dare you!" I hear you say. "Don't you care about the dolphins?"
Why the fuck does everyone make such a big deal about the dolphins? It's not like the ones over here are endangered or anything. We slaughter millions of animals every month for no particular reason and nobody lifts a finger (except for one letter to the editor, who begged everyone to have a vegetarian, 'cruelty-free' Christmas. Well we try, you know. What would you rather us do, breed animals that like to be slaughtered and recommend cuts of themselves to diners?) Hell, we kill off kangaroos like pests (which in some areas they are) and the Japanese are mortified.
"Oh, but dolphins are smart."
All animals are smart you dumb fuck.
"But dolphins talk."
All animals talk. We just can't understand them. That's the fucking point.
"But dolphins are really smart!"
Mice are smart. Mice are really fucking smart. That's why we exterminate them and expose them to terminal diseases in labs so we can study their effects.
Dolphins are smart, yeah. They're the only creatures other than us who kill and rape for pleasure. Dolphins aren't cute cuddly things. They're carnivorous and are known to kill other marine creatures and even their young for no reason at all except to swim around and laugh about it. They're sadistic buggers. I have no idea why people think dolphins are so fucking friendly. Probably because of Flipper or some shit.
Also, only a very small minority of Japanese people eat dolphin. The rest know better. How much they kill is sustainable. Compared to us, who do net fishing which is not, and cut down tonnes of forest in Sumatra which will never grow back fast enough.

The worst letter to the editor ever.

Abortion is already legal in this country. A petition has been put forward to the UN to make abortion a fundamental human privelege for all people. And a move has been made in Victoria to make partial-birth abortions - killing a child during childbirth - legal.
There has been a push to legalise abortion in this state, considering 80% of the population supposedly supports it. But this is completely contradictory to the previous census which stated the facts that 80% of the population pledges alleigance to one of the five great religions which forbids killing people.
There is an increasingly militant atheism which wants to ban religion from all aspects of society. It makes you wonder what, after thousands of years of Judeao-(sic)Christian teachings of 'you shall not kill' and 'honour your parents and authority', they plan to replace it with.
At Christmas we celebrate the greatest gift of God when His son came down to live among us and afterwards taught 'whatever you do to the most insignificant of my children you do to me', recognising that God acknowledges all people. It is far better a creed to live by than the patholically fascist atheism which refuses to acknowledge the sanctity of all human life.
-Excerpt from a letter to the editor in today's West Australian

Okay, what the fuck.

This is pretty much hate speech. What's it doing in the West Australian? But then, again, this is an Australian newspaper. *cough cough hack hack cough*
But of course, it's bashing atheism. We're a minority. Bash Christians (or Jews, but that's another story) and you'll be yelled at in the next few weeks by hundreds of replies. Muslims and atheists are fair game. I've seen this before, and it breaks my heart.

Anyway, now onto my analysis:
Firstly: Fucking fundie pro-lifer. That's all I have to say on that.
Secondly: What's with all the atheism hate? Granted, some of us put no value on human life, because we don't need to. We're just animals with a more developed brain. Not all of us are like that, however. Back before I went militant I was a utilitarian secular humanist. That basically means 'love everyone, take the course of action which brings the most good to the most amount of people'. I still didn't believe in religion, but I still believed in helping people. This period only lasted a while before I became sick of everyone and became a misanthrope. I guess you could say I snapped. But that's off topic.
Fascism. (see also: Godwin's Law) What a great thing to throw out there. Want to turn people against a group? Call them fascists. Blackshirts. Nazis. Whatever.
I'd like to point out this argument is flawed. Firstly, because ALL FASCISTS IN HISTORY WERE CHRISTIANS
Secondly, it's fucking stupid.
Thirdly: Lack of religion does not equal lack of morality. Christians make this mistake all the time and it's fucking annoying.
Fourth: We want to kill religion because it's outdated, causes brainwashing, hate, war, violence. It's the reason for terrorism. It prevents progress. As aforementioned, not all of us are like this. When I was a utilitarian secular humanist, I believed in living in peace with people of all religions...

15 KB Gregoire phones ringing after FOX attack on holiday displays THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 12/08/08(Mon)17:06:23 No.2377902

OLYMPIA -- Several hundred people rallied Sunday at the state Capitol to protest a holiday display inside that provoked a national outcry by disparaging religion and declaring there is no God.

The "winter solstice" sign sponsored by the atheistic Freedom from Religion Foundation calls religion "myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."

An organizer at Sunday's rally, Steve Wilson, said outrage over the display was growing, and that it was offensive to people of all faiths.

"When it comes to disparaging my faith on public property, that's where I draw the line," Wilson said.

Three counterprotesters stood at the side of the rally, holding up signs that said, "Get Over It."

The sign went up Dec. 1 in the Capitol rotunda, alongside a "holiday" tree and a Nativity scene.

It generated national debate after TV talk-show host Bill O'Reilly made it an issue on his program.

>> THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 12/08/08(Mon)17:07:08 No.2377907

Gov. Chris Gregoire's office reported receiving hundreds of calls, mostly to protest the state's decision to allow the sign to be displayed.

Gregoire and Attorney General Rob McKenna have defended the atheists' right under the law to display their sign in the Capitol.

The state began granting broader access to religious displays a few years back, after a Jewish group added a Hanukkah menorah to the long-standing display of a massive evergreen Christmas tree -- these days called a "holiday tree" -- sponsored by the Association of Washington Business.

Organizers pleaded with Sunday's crowd to keep messages positive, but there were still signs portraying Gregoire as a Grinch. Even scheduled speakers took political pot shots.

"You have led the state of Washington to be the armpit of America. And I'm afraid that our governor is the one adding the offensive odor to the armpit," said the Rev. Ken Hutcherson, a Christian preacher known in the region for his commentary on social issues.

Also on hand was a manger scene made from balloons.

The wise men were missing, but the scene included an image of O'Reilly slugging Gregoire.

The atheist sign was briefly stolen Friday but was returned to the Capitol after somebody dropped it off at a Seattle radio station.

It was restored to its display site, along with the added message, "Thou shalt not steal."

State Patrol troopers were on duty at the rally site and have shot and apparently killed one zealot who attempted to torch the sign.

I still haven't gone down to see the sign. I don't see what the big deal is.

Is a manger with the sign "Celebrating the birth of our lord and savior jesus christ" is allowed, why not an opposite viewpoint?

Because the mangers are intended to symbolize the peacefulness or what-the-fuck-ever of Jesus and Christmas and have no intent to offend. The atheist signs are just trolling and exist for no other reason but to piss off Christians.

No matter how annoying christfags can be, they have more of a right to put up their displays than atheists have a right to put up a sign slandering religion. A sign that says "RELIGION IS EVIL HURRR" is just as bad as a sign that says "NONBELIEVERS WILL BURN IN HELL HURRR", and neither should be put up.

This is all a lot of bullshit on the part of these theist asshats. I don't care if they let everything be, fucking have a small, timely monument for every major religion. That way all of these faggots can, or rather, should shut the fuck up. But none of them won't, because for some silly reason, atheism is the only religion that is blatantly discriminated against by everyone of a differing faith. This is probably the worst part of America is that all people who consider themselves religious always think atheism is the second worst faith, second to satanism, but nobody talks about that anymore.

>> Anonymous 12/08/08(Mon)21:53:18 No.2379390

Religousfags have no problem expressing their faith. Many have no problem with signs saying that you'll go to hell if you don't think the same way that they do.

A handful of Athiestfags put up a sign that says "There is no god" and all of a sudden it's a horribly offensive message that should not be allowed.

So athiestfags should keep their beliefs to themselves and their mouths shut, otherwise it's offensive. At least according to these retards.

Atheists will never be considered equal. Ever. Also, there have been polls, and Christians in America say that the group they would least want to have as neighbours are atheists. Yep, over homosexuals, Muslims, Satanists, neo-Nazis...

Stupid forum of the whenever: MASK OF DESTINY

2008-12-05T17:21:00.000-08:00

I have waited SO long to do this.

So Sonar, Our Resident Pakistani Furry and 'Hedgehodge Monster', once invited me to a Bionicle forum he frequents named Mask of Destiny. Yep, fucking BIONICLE. You know, the Lego toys? Even though most of the forum is spam and very little Bionicle talk actually goes on, kind of like SV but not cool. I thought it was pretty meh but joined up anyway.

I was banned, but that's a long story. One I intend to tell.

You see, the admin of 'MoD' goes by the name of Imatron. He is, as GuitarMasterX7 quotes: 'totally a fucking nazi'. I don't mean literal NS in this case, funnily enough. He censors fucking EVERYTHING. He allows mindless violence and gore but nothing to do with sex. Not even the mention of it. Or abstinence. He censored 'fap' and 'ass', the latter into his avatar saying 'IM WATCHIN U' (sic) Did I mention naziimatron can't spell?

Oh yes, he also removed my avatar and sig after people complained. He says 'I recieved several complaints about your profile but decided not to remove it until I could confirm' the hell?
Although I understand why people complained (goddamn PC), I didn't post anything related to it, I just happened to have the images up. (original avatar and sig image preserved for your convenience)
After this I went into a rage at naziimatron (a nickname I professed around the forum, one he said he 'did not appreciate' and 'wanted to talk to me about before [he] mindlessly clicked the ban button'. My comrades on this forum took up the name as well, but use Imatron's bowlderised version, he seems to think I called him 'nazitron' which has its own ring to it, but nonetheless) and he sent me PMs asking 'what I meant by it'. I yelled at him awhile saying I support free speech and won't stand for his stupid censoring of everything. He asked me what changes could be made, and I told him to at least uncensor 'ass'.
Nothing changed.

A few weeks later, the Hazard Forum was introduced. It's a password-locked sub-board (with a ridiculously long password, which, by the way, is tstabttybnfiybitbyavbotyaaapfa) used for 'hazardous content'. This means you can post violent stuff here. Still no sex, and no swearing. Just violence. The fuck, naziimatron?

I became a tad angry. I complained around the forum. There were a few of us who agreed.
One day Aegis (aka Blastcage), fellow /b/tard, pretty cool guy and chief among my comrades, one day decided we should pull something. But what? Spam the site. It was immature, but damn was it fun. We changed our sigs to giant images and giant text professing 'IMATRON KILLED MOD'. We pulled Fifty Hitler Posts (NSFW, contains goatse after the 'Fifty Hitler Pots' part, so you might not want to read past that) around the forum. We spammed up EVERYTHING. Of course, I was banned the next day. Aegis had been banned over 9,000 times already, as I mentioned he was a pretty cool guy but for some reason apparently naziimatron had been 'recieving a lot of complaints about him, he was irritating towards everyone and all the mods wanted him out'.

We made New MoD, a secret forum in which we plot against naziimatron and his fr-
I NEVER MENTIONED SWERT.

All I know about Swert I got from Sonar and Aegis. Apparently he's a pedophile, and naziimatron covers up every mention of it. So Yeah.

Yes, so I hang out on New MoD now. But that's not all. I made more accounts to still browse MoD and check out shit.
Naziimatron made new rules, governing sig image size limits, and some other weird stuff I forgot about.

Ok everyone, starting today the new signature rules are official. Your images in the signature may be a total of 125 pixels high and 625 pixels wide

You may stack images side by side to fill up that total space, so that the images fit inside my banner example when the window is in full screen:

As for text and text features, if you have an image in your signature your total text space is a little bit more than the amount of space that my banner takes up. If you do not have any images, your total text space doubles to about two of my banners stacked on top of each other.

Posting misleading materials and links

Every once in a while it gets to be a big problem where people say thier linking to one thing and it turns out to be something completely different, like a Rick-Roll video. Please do not label Rick Roll and other prank links as something it specificaly isnt, especialy in serious discussions. For example, a link that says "Optimus Prime's latest incarnation" should not lead to a web prank, but should be the said picture of Optimus Prime. I see no problem with people doing it every now and then, and even occasionaly in serious topics when the link is vaguely labled, for example "Look'it this!" could lead to a rickroll video. Please do not abuse this loophole though, and keep some portion of the conversation on topic.

Yes, rules on RICKROLLS. RULES. ON. RICKROLLS.

Also, although everybody knows about what we did, he never, ever posts our names, and always makes it sound worse than it really was.

And as for BZP, they have over forty thousand members, and are very conscious about keeping things as free of offensive material as possible, unfortunaley this has given them a bad reputation particularly from members who were banned. Even if that helicoptor is just fine, if it's url can be tinkered with, say by a member trying to see what other helicoptor stuff is on the site, he might accidentaly stumble on an innapropriate image. Plus they have to filter sites like MoD for a GOOD reason, if they linked to us then forty thousand members may have been exposed to those Nazi images two members spammed all over the forums not too long ago. Im not saying BZP staff are perfect, but they do what they do mostly to keep the site running smoothly and they dont always have time to work things out with the member, which often causes them to look like their jerks.
[...]
Maybe he is just doing the "well Im staff and what I say goes" bit, I can only speculate of course not knowing the story from both side's perceptions, but there have been times where a member would outright accuse me of wrongfully moderating them because of other circumstantial happenings that had nothing to do with how I made my judement. From the members standpoint I could see how he might honestly believe those circumstances to have been apart of my judgment, but to me they were absurd and I never even knew they were there until he harrassed me and told me that he knew how my mind worked and I couldnt dare tell him he was wrong because he knew for a "fact" it was exaclty what went on in my mind -_- . At that point I just wanted to put my foot down and say "Im staff and what I say goes. now bug off and stop giving me this bulcrap," what I really said was along the lines of "What I told you is what happened, leave it alone."

Also, be warned that ouright bashing can lead to a forum acess removal, calling him a Nazi is connsidered bashing, but discussing your aggrivations in a resonable manner is allowable.

BZP = BZ Power. It's a forum Swert moderates, and it's worse than MoD, but naziimatron is trying to make MoD more like it.

2008-12-05T17:09:00.001-08:00

So, I saw that movie Australia that everyone's going on about. I really didn't know what to expect from the film. I originally thought it was going to be just another romance. Trailers made it look pretty good though and I like the arthouse kind of films so I figured I'd watch it. Reviews touted it as an 'epic' so I saw it, and it was PRETTY GODDAMN KICKASS

WATCH THIS MOVIE NOW YOU FUCKERS
LEARN SOME GODDAMN HISTORY

So yeah, it's a brilliant movie. Really shows the other side to the Aborigines, who we usually ignore and just think of as hobo alcoholics who steal stuff and always go to jail. English class taught me that's because it's our fault for barging in in the first place and trying to assimiliate them and taking their children away etc.

Most people outside this country don't know about that, and this film is a great way to bring it across. Sweeping landscapes sometimes make it a bit of an advertisement, but it fits well with the film so it isn't noticed too much.

CGI's a bit naff in places and glaringly obvious in most. It's blurry and just doesn't fit with the 'real' segments. It lets down what could be a perfect film. It's still great though. I recommend everyone watch this film if only for the historical content.

And that Aboriginal kid fucking steals the show.

HEY YOU YOUNG'UN

2008-12-05T16:40:00.000-08:00

YES THAT'S RIGHT I'M TALKING TO YOU.
Image via Wikipedia
YOU WITH YOUR NEWFANGLED PLAYBOX WII60S. WHY BACK IN MY DAY WE ONLY HAD 16 BITS OF COLOUR AND WE LIVED WITH IT!

Videogames are too easy nowadays.
Go on /v/ and they're always complaining about 'casuals'. As if gaming is hardcore or something.

Anyway, the day before last I had a friend over. She usually plays Brawl with me, but we'd recently moved and renovated the loungeroom. We now have three consoles set up in there: the N64, PS2 and Wii. Upon pointing out that the N64 still works we got a whole bunch of the ol' cartridges from my room and sorted through what she wanted to play. We got together a whole bunch of old games we haven't played in years. So here's the roundup we ended up playing:
Perfect Dark
Diddy Kong Racing
Mario Tennis
Mario Party 1
First up was Perfect Dark, and it was just as awesome as I remember it. No surprises there.
Next was Diddy Kong Racing, which this year is 11 years old. Holy fuckwads. And yeah, it was pretty awesome. Nostalgia wafted out of every fucking pixel. I downloaded the ROM but it's nowhere near as fun without other people.
Image via Wikipedia
Tennis was fairly meh. I enjoyed it, but it got boring fast.

The last game we played was the very first Mario Party. Both of us are Mario Party veterans. I've played the first seven and she's played...I have no idea.
There's one thing I forgot about the first Mario Party.
IT'S
FUCKING
BRUTAL.

Lose a mini-game? Tough titties, you lose coins while others gain coins. Land on a single-player space, get a nauseatingly difficult game. Oh, and you lose coins if you don't win. If anyone gets a Chance space, like we did about five times, you could lose everything within two minutes. Land on a Happening space on the stage we were on (Julz insisted we play it since she hadn't seen the ending) you get sent back to the start. Stars move around continuously and to get to one you have to navigate a maze of teleporters. Pure chance dictates most of the game. To GET a Star, not only do you have to navigate a maze of teleporters, have 20 coins, but then you roll a die to see whether you actually get it or not and pray that goddamn Baby Bowser doesn't get a number higher than you. Granted, the stakes are in your favour for that, but goddamn.

Future Mario Party games got rid of the 'lose coins for losing', added items which tip the stakes and basically make the game more hectic. It made the game easier.

Another series I'd like to mention in this vein is Mario Kart. I never played the original on SNES, but do you remember how outrageously brutal Mario Kart 64 was? Especially that FUCKING RAINBOW ROAD
Mario Kart Wii is very, very hectic. There's more players on the field. Items whizz everywhere, every second, and if you get hit, everyone runs over you. But don't worry! All you need is the right items and you'll whizz back to first place easily! And it's kept the programming that gives you better items the further back you are. You don't even need to TRY. Just stay at the back and get two Bullet Bills and you're already fucking in the lead. They tried to make it easier 'don't worry you can still win' and appeal to little kiddies who can't play vidya.

GODDAMN RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE as they say on 4chan.
BACK IN MY DAY WHY GAMES WERE HARD AND WE LIVED WITH IT
NO MATTER WHAT GAME IT WAS YOU COULD STILL JUST PICK IT UP AND WIN IF YOU KNEW THE CONTROLS
NONE OF THIS GODDAMN CASUAL SHIT

*stops for a breather*

Also, the Need For Speed Undercover trailer is total shit.

Movies and other stuff

2008-11-26T18:07:00.000-08:00

A few days ago I saw A Clockwork Orange as part of SBS' aforementioned Kubrick Week. Yep, this post is overdue. I was going to make a very long-winded and detailed post in Nadsat about how much I liked the film, but I realised that's stupid, no-one would understand it, and Nadsat sounds pretty silly anyway.

I didn't like Full Metal Jacket. I have no idea why. The dialogue was great but the whole thing didn't really appeal to me.

However, I saw a great foreign film yesterday. It was awesome. I didn't get to see the end since the DVD screwed up, but my dad went down to the video store and got another copy and recorded it so I could watch. ;D
I've been meaning to see this film for a while, and it is definitely as good as I thought it would be.
Yep, I got around to seeing Die Fälscher (English title: The Counterfeiters, but really I prefer the original German because it's fucking awesome.) Being able to understand minimal German helps me pick up little tidbits that aren't subtitled, like things in the background and stuff.

oh also, forgot to say: I graduated ;D

Yeah, it's been kinda lonely just sitting around all day playing videogames and shit. It's really boring. I also joined a Hylian War. The first one I ever played was last year I think, but was forced to pull out by my parents. I really enjoyed it, but this one I'm not really enjoying. It just seems to be another chore I have to do. I can pull out if I want, but I feel bad.

I need to apply for a job, so I need help on writing a cover letter. My mum keeps forgetting.

I splurged on books, mostly about military aircraft, but I also got two more of the Dune books and the entire Hitchhiker's Guide set, which is pretty sweet.

Nothing much else to talk about. :/

Might as well talk about A Clockwork Orange.

It was awesome. I downloaded the soundtrack. The soundtrack is awesome.
This movie had a massive fucking impact. Not only because it was banned in a lot of places for many years, but because it was so awesome.
I mean come on. It's been parodied tonnes of times. TONNES.

And just for kicks, here's one of my favourites.

CHECK OUT THAT SOUNDTRACK

If anyone cares, here's the version from the remake, which took out the milk, but whatever

Videos of German videogame censorship

2008-11-22T20:23:00.001-08:00

The Strafgesetzbuch section 86a forbids, among other things, glorification of violence.

This video speaks for itself.

This one requires a little context. In this video all the enemies are apparently robots. Blood and gibs have been replaced with party hats, rubber ducks etc. Blood has become black 'motor oil'. Note how the severed heads also have springs coming out of them (poorly added).

2001 and the evolution of modern cinema

2008-11-17T03:21:00.000-08:00

Yep, I finally got around to watching it. If you haven't seen it, here's a recap.

It was on SBS last night as part of Kubrick week, which means that A Clockwork Orange is on Friday so I hope to see that as well, my droogs. Not sure if I want to see The Shining, though.

Well, the film was everything I expected. A certain sketch of Robot Chicken described it as 'Stuff floating around in space to classical music.' That's basically what it was, and very relaxing too. HAL's voice creeps me the fuck out, and upon returning to my computer after hanging out the washing to remember what I'd set my screensaver to...it was chilling to say the least. I guess now when my laptop-HAL yells at me I can relate to him a bit more (I set all my system sounds to HAL's voice clips some months ago). Some of the scenes dragged on for way too long, however. In some cases this was a good thing: at first I was annoyed at the spacesuit breathing all the time during the scene where Frank goes to fix the AE-35, for example, but once I became used to it, I realised it really added to the atmosphere of the scene. Another example is towards the end of the film during the false colour montage. I was originally like 'what the fuck is this shit'. Then I got used to it and it was really quite relaxing.

Anyway, the ending of 2001 is what I want to talk about. I actually didn't see it. It was late at night, and I got up to the bit where Dave wakes up inside the house and sees himself. Maybe it was the time, or the eerie silence, or boredom (I swear the flashy lights went for about half an hour. YouTube confirms this. What the fuck.), but I turned off the TV and went to bed. I didn't miss much, anyway. (I missed the first five-ten minutes of the film, too, since my parents were palying Wii Fit and I was watching. I had no idea the film was on until I returned to my computer and Jeno and his best friend GIR, a fellow Kubrick fan, were yelling at me on MSN that 2001 IS ON SBS TONIGHT MAYBE YOU SHOULD WATCH IT SINCE YOU WANTED TO. So in essence, I missed BOTH Also Sprach Zarathustras, which is a shame since it's the best song in the movie.)

Anyway, I also turned it off because it creeped me out a bit. Any kids watching this movie would either have fallen asleep already or been tramatised by the 30 minutes of flashing lights, really eerie noise music accompanied by opera singers for half an hour and Dave looking horrified while his eye appears in various false colour tones. But I get creeped out by pretty much nothing. It's not what happens, but what I expect to happen. I expected gross mutilation and distorted faces. This obviously doesn't happen, but I've seen enough dastardly horror movies where it does, after a buildup of silence, weird eerie music, and lots of closeups. A similar thing happened while I was watching 1408. There's a scene where the main character is trapped in the titular hotel room and the TV cuts to a home video being filmed by the character some years ago and his 4-5 year old daughter is covering her face since she's embarrassed. Yeah, I've seen enough horror movies where she's going to show the camera her face and it's some fucked up thing and oh god the trauma. Well that doesn't happen in 1408, because this is a Stephen King movie and Stephen King doesn't do that shit. The girl takes her hands off her face and grins and laughs at the camera and the main character smiles. I was not expecting this. In fact I left after that fiasco and did not watch the rest of the movie because I was scared shitless by that thought which didn't happen.

The thing about horror movies nowadays is, they are shit. Like survival horror video games, it's less about horror and more about shock and gore. A mutilated corpse will fall out of a locker or something and you get a nice closeup of its face. Teenagers will be torn apart in front of the camera by the Monster of the Week. And the scariest thing in the movie/game will only last a few seconds and leave you going 'oh god what the fuck was that'. I have seen all the Alien and Predator movies. I actually found them really fucking boring (although Alien 3 was enjoyable. Alien Resurrection was shit and a reason why you shouldn't make new sequels to timeless classic series just to pinch a few bucks because they turn out god awful. Wink wink nudge nudge). Maybe because it didn't have someone dying horribly every five minutes.

Anyway to make a long post short, movies are getting worse.

Except for WALL-E. That gave me hope in humanity.

Exams were not as bad as I feared. Luckily. I was really out of it the night before last (the day just before my Chem exam). It was the closest I've gotten to actually attempting suicide: I went to the medicine cupboard, checked what we had and how much of it. I went onto 4chan (/r9k/ - it's the intelligent side) asking about...stuff.

Luckily, what happened there got me out of that.
Terminology:
underageb& = someone under 18
femanon = a female
an hero (noun) = someone who commits suicide
an hero (verb) = to commit suicide

Hey guys. I raided the cupboard to see if I had anything which could be fatal. I don't have much, and am underageb& so I can't go out to the drugstore and get more.

Here's what I do have: 38 pills of Codral Cold&Flu Nighttime, which contains that thing which can cause liver damage, plus it's for nighttime so it has drowsy effect.
I also think it contains Chlorphenamine, but am not sure.

If I were to mash up these pills and dissolve them in water, would it be enough to put me to sleep for good?

No. You'd just be in a lot of pain and bullshit and wake up embarrassingly in the hospital.

How about you stop thinking of yourself, and think about the family that you would be hurting if you did this?

Since you're underage you definately live with your parents, and are obviously not thinking of them, or any friends, or any acquaintances you have ever made.

You may not think it, but you committing suicide would have far stronger reaches than you comprehend. Dont do that to the people who love you, dont throw away a life because it is in a bad place.

Im sure that you're the only one who thinks that you're a failure. Don't let yourself get pulled into a rut like that. Im not religious, but I believe that life is an incredibly valuable commodity, theres so much to live for.

You might be the one who makes a huge change in the world, you could solve problems for so many people, discover, or help discover a cure for cancer. You can make a huge impact on the world, and all that potential is wasted if you end it by yourself.

Do not do that. No matter how bad you think your life has become, you will always bounce back, if you dont live for enjoyment right now, then atleast live so that you know you will have a brighter future.

The world is full of people. If he dies, ten more will take his place. Chances are, he'll be of no importance at all to any but a handful of people, if that. There is very little he can do that one of the other six-and-a-half billion people on the planet wouldn't do anyway, and probably better.

No one knows the value of his life better than he does. Let him decide exactly how much it's worth. He has a right to throw it away however he wants, whenever he wants. It's not being selfish. It's selfish of other people to try and drag out an unwilling life.

Is anon a pharmacologist because in this layman's opinion, if Codral is a derivative of Codeine then I think OP is in for a painful and prolonged death, amirite?

See, of all the Codeine overdoses I've been around, the main concern that Docs have is to get it flushed out of the system as quickly as possible before irreparable kidney and liver damage sets in and the an hero slowly dies over three days.

I don't think OP would sleep that long as the sedative would wear off just as the internal haemorrhaging kicked in.

Though if anon goes through with it, I hope they post pics of themselves pissing and shitting blood.

There are only four worthy ways for someone to commit suicide:

1. Cheese wire noose with hands glued to your head, so it looks like you ripped it off.
2. Overdose on DNP, so you start on fire a while after you die. Let your body be found next to a bunch of scrawled notes about demonic possession, and your body being claimed by flames when your soul reaches hell.
3. Go to the zoo; take a lot of painkillers and viagra; see if you can fuck a tiger.
4. Will yourself to die.

Alternatively, jump off some bridge or so and fall to your death.

On a separate note, this one chick in my town took 600mg of DXM and ran out onto one of the main roads waving a bloody knife over her head screaming about how aliens killed her baby, when in actuality it was her.

may i just say how grateful i am that you have trusted me with your concerns and that i am honoured to have earned your confidence in this matter.
thank you.

it would appear that the general consensus of anon would be that the slow poisoning of yourself will be incredibly painful and bares with it the risk of discovery, medical attention and the prolonged counselling that would surely follow, unless of course you were particularly brain damaged to the point of vegetation.

yet with that i would like to commend you on the choice of self extermination which, were you to use the correct toxin, would leave your body relatively easy to dispose of and additionally, with less of a mess to clear up.
well done you for your consideration and sensitivity for the bereaved sensibilities of those you leave behind, which is truly a most feminine of qualities.

i do have one small caveat though.
have you made your peace with god through Jesus Christ?
if not then i'm afraid you will not be leaving a world of suffering behind, but instead entering an eternity of tortuous and ongoing death.

please bare this in mind before you make a final decision.

again, thank you for your time in reading this and your entrustment of these matters to our hands.

If you walk out that door and into the world, they're still going to come after you, bawling, because that's what parents do.

If you really hate your life, don't kill yourself. Go hitchhiking or go wander off on your own. If you're old enough to drive, take a car. Go find an adventure for yourself. You obviously don't care about your friends or family, so no need to tell them about it. Take what money you can and use that to sustain yourself. If you die, then you achieved your goal anyways. If you don't, then you'll have bettered yourself in the process.

Don't kill yourself and in 40 years you'll look back and realize how glad you are that you didn't kill yourself. Life seems trivial in the underage B& years, and if there were an afterlife (lol christfags) to regret anything in, I can guarantee you that you would regret killing yourself at such a young age. At least stay alive past your teenage years and if life is still treating you like a total shithole, then you can consider killing yourself, I suppose...

Plus if you actually decide to do it I'll feel bad cause now I tried to talk you out of it.

CO poisoning. Get some charcoal and a small room. Very quick, painless.

Dying by drugs is always slow and painful. You'll want to vomit out your organs, but wont be able to.

Pretty serious stuff.

So yeah, I'm off that now.

Let me rephrase that.

I'm off the idea of overdosing, but suicide still sounds good to me.Blowing my brains out with a pistol seems like a pretty sweet deal, but, as I said, gun laws here require me to be over 17 and have a licence.

So my little (read: 2 years younger) brother came home from school today, walks into my room and I'm lying on the bed feeling grey. He sits in my computer chair, looks around, inspects my computer, asks me if it's turned on (I lie 'no', it's in hibernate and I'm wasting to reading webcomics when I should really be studying for math, which I hate and suck at: I got 44% for it but still passed the course, which I was overjoyed at. My dad said "44 percent? In my opinion, that's a fail."), picks up my packet of chips (we get a packet each as a treat on occasion) and asks if he can have some. I reply 'no'. He had his own and ate them already. "Just a few?" No. Go away.
He flicks through the documents on my desk: mainly the mock exam for math I took a few weeks ago. I tell him to go away. He continues perusing. And I mean perusing.
"44%?"
"..."
"That's really bad."
"Go away."
"...Is this the exam here?"
"...no"
"Oh, it's just it says Year 12 Mock Exam 2008 on it."
"..."
"I don't see how you got 44%, you know, I mean all the numbers are circled-"
"Get out."
"Gee, I'm just trying to be nice is all, you don't have to be such a fucktard."

Five minutes later I got off the bed depressed and decided to do some actual study. I basically just stared at the book for a while trying to make sense of it all. The exam is tomorrow, the first of two that day. I cannot fucking do this.

WBC's picketing schedule

2008-11-06T01:10:00.000-08:00

http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html

These guys make me rage.Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Oh, I haven't discussed Westboro Baptist Church yet! Well you're lucky, because I'm going to save you all that speech for now.

I HEARD (unconfirmed) that they're going to picket Obama's grandma's funeral. But whatever.

I'm here to point out some things they have wrong.

Of course, everything they say is wrong, but here's the parts I hate most.

Pakistan Embassy - Muslims are pedophile, freaks! 3517 International Court NW God Hates Pakistan and has cursed it, irreversibly. And you know it's true. You know that in Pakistan they worship false Muslim gods and that young children are continually raped and unborn babies are murdered even though such things are against the laws of God and man in Pakistan. Any person who preaches from the Bible PERIOD, but especially about the vital matters in any nation (fags, abortion, divorce, fornication) will be thrown into jail and then murdered as an heretic in line with the great koran (please see signmovies.net video news where we burned that goofy book of fiction). [...]And just because they speak a different language does not excuse them from their duty to serve and obey the SAME GOD and the SAME HOLY BIBLE that we here at Westboro Baptist Church do.

Okay, this is just plain BIGOTRY. They have NO respect for anyone else's beliefs. And for your information? They DO 'serve and obey the same God and the same holy Bible' as you. That's what Islam is. Just a little bit different. They don't 'worship false Muslim gods'. The Muslim God is precisely the same as the Christian God, but without Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Granted, there are some nasty laws around in some Middle Eastern countries, but not in Pakistan. You have your information all wrong. ALL WRONG. I even have a friend living there. I'll talk to him about it and you bigots can get the truth.

Here's a quote from me from...I think it was on someone's blog.

I find this racist. This is why I am atheist - because Christians seem to think that their religion is better than everyone else's and that everyone else's is false, despite theirs being just as preposterous. No offense to any Christians in the room...

Anyway, now onto the rest of my points. Did you know that Islam came from Christianity? That's right, Islam's roots were from a man who grew up influenced by Christians and Jews. How can you say that Islam is a lie when technically you both worship the same god, just under a different name?

As a final point I would also add that Islam is a religion of peace, Muslims believe in the same 'love your neighbours' doctrine as you lot do. The current stereotype going around lately that Muslim people are full of hate is merely propagated by the extremists who - may I add - believe that their war is justified because Allah told them it was. Doesn't that sound familiar? Remember the Crusades, 200 years of war of the Christians commiting genocide against the Muslims, because 'God told them to'? All religion is a puny excuse for people to fight each other. Stop hating and just listen. Didn't Jesus say to love eveyone regardless of religion, race or political views? Get a reality check.

And now back to WBC.

In Sweden they put people in prison for preaching from the Bible, in any way shape or form! Do you believe God will put up with that? NO! He hates Sweden, and that whorish "Royal Family".

This is wrong. Sweden may be the most secular country in the world, but it does not prosecute Christians. In fact, most of its people are still Christians.

Congo Embassy - God Hates Congo 4891 Colorado We will picket your blood-drenched soil out in front of that filthy embassy. You would think those bloody and deceitful men would just hide their filthy heads in shame. You do not even need to read the Bible to know that God Hates Murderers.

Uh...why blame the whole nation for the actions of a few bad eggs? Or even the government? What the fuck, over.

George Carlin is in HELL! All who watched that movie "Prince Of Tides" knows that George played a smelly, nasty, mincing faggot on that movie! Please feel free to visit our video news segment on this wonderful event of his death and splash dive in hell at www.signmovies.net. Since they insisted on hiding his filthy rotten corpse, we will be at this event to tell you all that if you follow George Carlin's manner of life - you will reside with George Carlin in everlasting fire and torment.

...

...

...

Oh dear.

I like how they seem to think that everyone who plays the role of a homosexual in a movie (another example: Heath Ledger) is one, and therefore will go to hell. Oh, that's right. It's because they support homosexuality. WBC calls them 'fag enablers'.
Also, Carlin is awesome. I like how they don't mention any of his comedy acts...

God Hates Nebraska, they prosecute the saints of God for exercising their religion. They do that here in Kansas, too - and God definately HATES Kansas. You all believe you can do what you want, and that there is no consequence. Your parents failed you, miserably as they refused to do this duty for you

This confuses me and I have no idea what's going on.

Matthew Sheperd was murdered for drugs and money, but he also happened to be a fag. This evil country immediately started and proliferated the loud lie that Matthew Sheperd was killed because he was a fag = hate crime. Ignore the fact that killing someone is necessarily hateful, and that all these goofy new notions of laws and such are just a big, fat lie! Let's just focus on these facts: Le 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Le 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Matt's in hell for 10 years now. Eternity - 10years = ETERNITY! Deal with it. AMEN!
[...]
We will visit your little town and tell you, again, that Matthew Sheperd is in hell. He's been there for 10+ years now, and all of your lies are only causing him more torment. If you would simply read the Bible, and obey the words written there, you would see the simplicity that is that process. However, you want to complicate everything with the multitude of words, and doing that which is NOT CONVENIENT.

...

So hate crime isn't a crime?

Washington State Capital - Obama Is Antichrist Hail to the Chief Pervert/Rebel! NOT! We will picket your historical event - historical because it shall mark the official countdown of the swift destruction of DOOMED america.
[...]
Obama has stated, with no hesitation, that the sermon on the mount ratifies his evil promotion of fags and the murdering babies. The is the abomination of desolation standing where it AUGHT NOT. Fags cannot procreate and a dead baby is just that, a dead baby - desolation, people!

...uh

wow

W Washington Arizona has a flag, you know. And many years ago we came to your evil state and picketed you for saying OFFICIALLY "It's Okay to Be Gay". You would not listen to this little church of Jesus Christ when we told you to Fear God and Keep His Commandments, God Hates Fags and Fags Doom Nations. Fast forward, now we visit you and tell you Thank God For Dead Soldiers and America Is Doomed! You evil bastards pass laws to try to stop our preaching. We will not stop preaching to Arizona/america/the world until God says to stop preaching.

...

God sent the shooter, and we are going to continue to tell you about it. Here is why He sent the shooter, in your freaks' own words via email to the servants of the Living God: "From: Anttichrist [mailto:anttichrist@luukku.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 12:54 AM To: God's People Subject: About The Killing Spree In Kauhajoki, Finland I just red from a local newspaper you pig-raping inbred pedophile fucking retards are gonna come over here to Finland with the purpose of ruining funerals of those deceased yesterday in the Kauhajoki school shootings... Welcome! There are already at least 10 people ready to beat you up like never before, and as I supposed that's not enough for you child molesters, luckily Finland is close enough to Russia and in this secular country spreading racist shit like you retards do is a crime and the amount of a fine depends on one's gross income. So, first of all, if you really think you can even get here, first, we're gonna beat the shit out of you (someone mentioning cutting off your hands and pricking your eyes also), after that you'll get arrested, get some fucking great fines and some jailtime (in our civilized, secular country people in jails will make you suffer) and after that considering you fuckers will surely still refuse to pay you fine's the Russian mob has a couple of gay brothels with workers gathered of those unable to pay their debts or other people who no-one wants to see anymore so I will myself make sure EVERYONE OFF YOU WILL GET ASS-RAPED for the next 5-6 years daily. Welcome to Finland! Finland to Finns, christians to the lions!"
...Yes, like their barbarian forefathers, these bastards from Finland HATE anyone who names the name of Christ, and will happily (like the Babylonians and Romans) cast them to the lions for food.

...oh dear

Finally, I'll just leave this here: (animated)

hope and change

2008-11-05T00:17:00.000-08:00

I sat watching Obama's speech on the news today and it only just hit me now, the impact of this event.

Today will be remembered by generations of people all over the world as historical. And we have the privelege - nay, the honour - of standing back, when we're old, watching new generations as they grow and live, and being able to say, with truth, "I was there."

I watched, and I hoped for justice.

I couldn't vote, and so I didn't care. But now I know we all should care. This will change the world.

What happens next is irrelevant. Tonight, we live for today.

Someone on /r9k/ said that MLK should have been here to see today's election: He'd have been 79. What a picture that would be, Obama hugging Martin Luther King.
But he's gone now, and that's not our fault. We can't change the past, but we can change the future. We can't erase the mistakes of our forefathers, but we can help to heal the wounds of hate.

Obama said many things I agree with. America has a long way to go yet before we can truly celebrate. The economy has had its worst days since the Great Depression. War is erupting everywhere. Countries are seceding, and people are dying in the streets to help or hinder it. But there is still hope.

He is indeed a powerful speaker. As I watched the speech I felt my heart rise in my chest. Usually this only happens when I hear or read something I am truly passionate about. But until today, although I hoped Obama would win, I didn't pay much attention. It didn't concern me. I wasn't in that country. But this affects all of us. And I felt that feeling. The feeling that I matter. Even though I couldn't vote, I'm a part of all this. Obama wasn't speaking to the country. He was speaking to the people. The people of the world. He spoke of hope. A hope that, in these dark times, few Americans would have thought about.

Someone on /r9k/ said that now, she, an African-American woman, should no longer be the victim of prejudice, because she is capable of achieving the highest position in the world. She should no longer have to put up with the stares when she goes out with her white boyfriend, because 'if a mixed-race couple can create the president of the United States, my children can be the next Einstein'.

When we're 106 years old, what change will we see?

We will be able to sit back and say: "I was there."

Now blacks will think they can show their true colors because a "brotha" is in the White House, and white "conservatives" can no longer pretend that whites run the country in their own interests.

Now what we need is a one stop resource thread exposing Obama's radical leftist, Jewish, and black militant ties. Then we can begin to radicalize whites who are disappointed with the election and create a backlash.
Re: I am fearful

well as far as I can tell by cruising consevative forums...White America is pissed and armed to the teeth...the country is a powder keg waiting on a spark of Revolution to ignite Civil War II

Re: The Presidential Election Thread

It was amazing how many people at my work were for Obama. I had no idea until they announced it over the intercom then it was like a pack of wolves emerged and people who are generaly cordial to me began rubbing it my face like they had just dealt me a mortal ideological blow worst of all most of the people there are complete idiots when it comes to politics but decided they liked obama because he is the new hip thing. Obama is in vogue because the jew media made it so. That is the only reason he is president.

That's enough for now. The rest of the threads are, well...I can't really comment. The Stormers are obsessed with their racism. Some users have signatures with "Republic of America, 1877-2008, RIP" I'll have to talk to Nihil about her views sometime...

>What about atheists? They can get married outside of the church.

Atheism in itself is repugnant to Christians, but the idea of a male and female Atheist getting married is still something God would be awwwwwright with. Even though the couple may not believe their marriage is sacred, Christians still believe it to be.

The union of a man with another man, or a woman with another woman is an unholy slight against Christianity. Hence the opposition towards gay marriage, but not the opposition towards marriage between non-religious people (though many churches will refuse to marry people that don't belong to the same faith).

"to preserve the sanctity of marriage"
besides this being the same argument the KKK had against interracial marriage, its still wrong because when you have a 50% divorce rate and Britney Spears (a teen popstar IDOL) getting married for 18 hours and some guy in texas who married his TV.... I think we can safely say that gays arent going to de-sanctify it any further.
cause there's no further for it to go. jackasses

No, there are many Christians that oppose atheists getting married in churches, and there are many Christians that support gays getting married in their churches.

I find this sad. An African-American was made president for the first time in history today, and yet the homosexual community is still to be deprived of rights that should rightfuly be theirs.

after Obama was announced the winner their site was flooded by people wanting to see the ensuing shitstorm at their site and it crashed. So they put up a system where you need to reg to the site to view it to save bandwith.

It went down long before that. They were openly asking the 400 guests why they hadn't signed up yet, then BAM, gone.

In other news, I can't edit my post about Obama, so here's some other news.

So what's /r9k/s reaction to Sarah Palin saying Obama is going to lead the nation to turmoil and that she's going to end up cleaning it up after McCain's concession speech?

I personally can't stand how full of herself she is.

After seeing the sad display at his concession where they booed Obama when he was praising him, I wouldn't doubt that she's their future.

The biggest excitement that McCain got was when he mentioned Palin. It's depressing.

I almost spit on me TV when she said that.
