Termyn8or -> RE: Perhaps I am a bit too much (6/7/2007 7:33:08 AM)

I'm not sure who is being referred to with "all of your posts are in the casual banter...", but that is not true of me. You'll see me in bondage gear and health and safety if you look.
Those categories are not as fast moving as these, and it is not I who writes every single post in casual banter, so let's be watching for pot-ishness before speaking of the kettle's color. Casual banter is the fastest moving section of collarchat. All of us make it that way.
Perhaps there is so much political discussion because people care ? Perhaps we go to our other categories and find that nobody replied today, hit humor real quick and then wind up here or in off topic.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, but there is nothing wrong with that. When you throw something out there, it will probably get read. Hell, I started one that said "Do not read", did anybody listen ? Hell no.
Perhps we could have a look at how many posts someone STARTS, but that proves nothing, I am pretty sure I have started more threads in casual banter, but you can catch someone's eye and something that wasn't an issue a millisecond ago becomes one.
And there is one other thing, I was kinda talking about how radical I am at times, and it is not alcohol. I really am radical, I just adapt to coexist with the rest of society. But now the thread isn't just about me anymore, boo hoo. I didn't come here to be alone. In fact sometimes I post here with a roomful of people. I don't try to hide too much from my friends anymore.
My rl friends have been filtered through my judgement of their worthiness.
But what filter applies to my CM friends ? Hard knocks of life. First you have a kink to hide, then you get the gumption to find others like you, open up, learn and grow. Eventually you get tired of the secrecy and take risks, and let some of your closer friends know things you would never tell a while ago, you find out who is real and who is not.
Eventually you just get upfront like, yeah when everybody leaves I get into a bra and panties, or, yup that's a real chastity belt, or, yup I tie her up and rape her every night and she loves the fuck out of it. (of course revealing anything involving another requires their consent)
I think many of us have reached a point in our lives where we need to know who our friends really are. I think many of us have learned alot about what is really important in life. Most of us are no longer fooled by religion or propoganda.
That is the CM filter. Natural selection, those attracted to such a site. When I first came here I came to discuss bondage of course. But then I found that people had opinions on other things. Reading OT thinking to myself 'damn right, damn right', and 'Hmmm, some of these people are pretty fuckin cool'.
But I doubt anyone here is as radical as me, and that was the point. Some people don't quite get it. If I put up a post saying that 80% of the population should die, many people might think 'hmmm, hubby and me and our three kids, that means statistically one of us would die', but that is not what I meant.
But think of it, FIVE TIMES the natural resources for each and every one of us. For lack of a better term, many people find it impossible to think 'outside the box'. I step back, possibly outside of myself and I see the problem, it is simple, there are too many people. And there is no end in sight.
But then taking another step back I see that this is the natural progression of the life cycle of a species and I regret to inform you that we are nearing the end. I am not on the streetcorner with a sign, but I can see the real sign. This is nothing biblical at all, it has nothing to do with religion.
This has to do with my observations of human behavior, and politics, and sociology. Primitives survived without the advent of ny infrastructure or technology. Some people today would die if their cellphone battery ran out. You get water by turning a valve, they might walk a mile to get water, at eight pounds a gallon, and carry it home manually, no car, no nuthing.
So I submit that the human race is devolving, and I also say that this is natural. Compare it to a human life.
You are born, you know nothing. They diaper you and put you in a bed with rails because you can't control yourself. As you grow you learn, you achieve, then you retire. In the waning years you start forgetting things, you start getting cranky. Eventually you lose control and again you are in a bed with rails.
This was explained to me by a Black Man in jail, and I really have no argument against it. He also said that not having good posture is bad for your heart. He said "Look where your heart is, if you slump it puts pressure on it". Hmmmmmm. I have no argument against that either.
Now I applied the former theory to the life of our species, and if you look around, it is hard to refute. Look at what people do.
Like the words in my song :
You'd be better off dead,
Than to fill your head,
With the people bullshit buys,
The people bullshit buys
All these ipods, snazzy new computer games, nine channel home theaters with a seven foot screen, all bullshit. All bullshit. Who could survive without electricity ? I mean survive. Can you heat your house without it ? Can you get water without it ? Can you get food without it ? Can you get shelter without it ?
Go build a building without it, when you hire the guys at the union hall they will laugh so hard they might get a hernia. Then they can't go to the well and get water either. And firplaces are no longer in vogue, so I guess you need the grill inside for heat ?
Nowadays your oven won't work without electricity, neither will your furnace. And if you got kids and no TV all the sudden, you got problems. Even if they are not completely addicted to the boob tube there will still be withdrawal symptoms.
And I must admit to being one of those people bullshit bought. Noone in my rl is really intelligent enough to handle what I have to say. A few come close, but don't quite get it.
We are devolving, I got so much proof. We are getting old as a species. That doesn't mean the end of the world in X years or anything like that. I have no prediction on that. I know if there aren't enough wars we will starve. I know that if the current trend continues we might not have to worry about that as well.
So a real fix for the problem would be very drastic, like a quintuple bypass and some serious amputations, for the entire species. The species has to decide if they want to live or die.
That is about as radical as it gets. Now who wants to play god ?
