Beware zealotry. It takes many forms.

yes good idea

I think it's the NFL network and some other random cable channel. Is Vs. a channel? That rings a bell.

So true. I'm glad ESPN is out of the game. They made a good decision. It's rare that a television network is so pleasantly self-analytical.

No they're not. Not this year, actually.

god i loved that show.

I AM CORNHOLIO! I NEED TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE!

Can I sell the abortions in China?

Evidently all of your handles are stalking Molson as well.

See, that could be it, but killing more than 50 people would be just going a little overboard.

SMOKEY!!! SMOKEY!!! YOU DA MAN!!!

word.

You know what I hate? Logic. Like when people use it. What a bunch of sh--. Go !@#$ yourself on a rusty, splintered screwdriver, that's what I say.

lol, good call, i forgot to mention that strauss. that's the obvious nietzsche connection.

A tootsie roll! That's cool. The world needs more tootsie rolls, imo.

How do you get a lit bulb on a tree? I've never seen one. How bright do they shine? Do they grow in the wild in some exotic country or something?

CATFIGHT!

Crayonz FTW

WATCH EVERYONE SQUIRM! lol

I'm familiar with the Junkers. Nietzsche was born in Prussia. That's a fact. However, it is a rather facile understanding of Nietzsche and his thought to label him as proto-fascist or to label him as an avatar of the Nordic Nationalism that culminated in National Socialism. I will not disagree that there have been those who have bastardized Nietzsche's thought for their own purposes, nefarious or otherwise. Nietzsche's own sister, Elizabeth, took Nietzsche's writings after his death and manipulated them for her own reasons, which included fomenting sympathy for German nationalist causes. This co-opting was where the persistent falsehood of his proto-fascism took root. It is not Nietzsche's fault that lesser minds see identity between his thought and National Socialism. He is certainly one of the most misunderstood philosophers of recent memory. The "radical" nature of his ideas and the destruction that his thought rained on established modes of discourse has caused lesser minds to seek to pigeonhole him into a readily available historical template. The irony is, of course, that the very thrust of Nietzsche's life and thought was to dismantle and transform these historical templates so that new modes of thought and life could be erected in their place. In other words, Nietzsche was not a proto-nazi. The Nordic history and tradition that culminated in National Socialism has its roots long before Nietzsche ever was born. Nietzsche, if anything, was the harshest critic of such fanatical, mindless zeal, a zeal that Nietzsche saw as being detrimental to the transformation of consciousness and the reevaluation of all values.

:lol: Awesome Wacka!

People are conditioned to assign blame. It is an easier way to operate and an easier way to assuage one's ego that they are standing on the "right" side of an issue. Assigning blame also circumvents the need for open and nuanced thought based in calm examination of the relevant information. Why look at the subtleties and undercurrents that permeate an issue when one can easily pick out one factor among many and assign that one factor with the majority or totality of responsibility for the issue?

What an anachronism I am!
