"Politically correct" - locked?

[another_try]

Why was the "politically correct" thread locked?

[cdnpilot77]

Because it was a rdiculous post that was nothing more than trolling...all swk does is hijack threads and go off on political tangents to satisfy his own agenda and his racist prejudice viewpoints....good on the mods for locking it

racist prejudice viewpoints

Racist?

I have really heard everything. I said in the space shuttle thread a nazi ss officer was at the head of NASA (wernher von braun during apollo program), and it was against law ("operation paper clip" was illegal and Truman not even aware), post deleted, of course because I am racist. Yeah right.

ASTONISHING.

Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race, ethnicity, or nationality are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that ethnic differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment.

No problem. It's Joe's site. He can do whatever he wants.

Roses are red,
Violets are purplish with yellow centres,
I spelled "centres" the Canadian way.

Like I said, go start a blog so that you can rant and plug your ears to people's responses. This isn't the place for it.

Emily Dickinson:

The Truth -- is stirless --
Other force -- may be presumed to move --
This -- then -- is best for confidence --
When oldest Cedars swerve --

And Oaks untwist their fists --
And Mountains -- feeble -- lean --
How excellent a Body, that
Stands without a Bone --

How vigorous a Force
That holds without a Prop --
Truth stays Herself -- and every man
That trusts Her -- boldly up --

[Hedley]

TIMOTHY LEARY:

"'Turn on' meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers that engage them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. 'Tune in' meant interact harmoniously with the world around you—externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. Drop out suggested an elective, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. 'Drop Out' meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily my explanations of this sequence of personal development were often misinterpreted to mean 'Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.'"
—Flashbacks, 1983

HUNTER S. THOMPSON:

“That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary’s trip. He crashed around America selling ‘consicousness expansion’ without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him too seriously . . . All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours, too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped to create . . . a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody—or at least some force—is tending the Light at the end of the tunnel.”
—Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 1971
