Re: Moderator Election
 

Offense? I don't take offense, you are perfectly entitled to your own views. I was just spouting off my thoughts again:smoke:

Re: Moderator Election
 

Fair enough, and thanks for the thoughts. I would only ask you reconsider not voting - even if that means you vote no.

Re: Moderator Election
 

Are you calling her a douche bag? How rude is that.....What a lack of respect. Look at your avatar anyway, it is green jumping along like you with no manners. Covered in lemon grass perfume. What are those animals called I've never seen it before? Especially those ones.:lmao:

At least you are honest, and at least you voted - how many of our fellow Avalonians can claim both?

Your post here has inspired Baggywrinkle to create a thread for our future survival http://www.projectavalon.net/forum/s...5892#post85892 - may the douches and condoms lead us to a better future.

Vote for me!

Re: Moderator Election
 

Moderating is not something you volunteer for.

Moderating is something you are asked to do, if you have earned the right.

Then comes a choice of whether you want to or not.

Re: Moderator Election
 

No one has to participate if they don't want to, why are you goading people with 'at least you voted', who the hell cares about this subject, but you, history? What are you going to do anyway if you do get voted in? Are you going to storm the baricades, create a new schism, give out about it on another forum.

So the following logic is applied. I want to work at google and so I do a poll of all my mates and they all agree with me (accept a few who wouldn't participate because they don't understand how important it is -fools) that I should definately be allowed work there, cos I'm nice and I can do googly things. I tell google this but they are so corrupt that they won't listen, so I start by having a protest but they STILL won't let me work there they must be way more corrupt than we thought before etc...... and the half-truths get progagated and passed on and as the rules of chinese whispers always win out ---

BILL & KERRY ARE TOO CORRUPT TO HONOUR A FORMAL ELECTION blablabla

Elections I might add are secret ballot, so maybe start again and refine your campaign promises and have a trully meaningless election just like the real world.

I have nothing against you personally but this entitlement thing is getting me down..................................

Re: Moderator Election
 

[QUOTE=Harper;86033]who the hell cares about this subject, but you, history?[QUOTE]

I kind of hoped that everyone here would, but you and others are making it clear that most do not.

Thanks!

Re: Moderator Election
 

yeah when I was young I hoped democracy worked and that the people in power would care about me and that when you are nice, nice things happen to you and that I would be free and all the rest.

My point is what do you think will happen when you do get the majority that you currently have?

What are you going to do? You haven't thought it through very well and why put two obvious red herrings in the poll and give out when people choose them.

Would this be yet another ill conceived revolution that changes the faces but not the aims to gain power? If you can't take the good with the bad in your campaign what will happen when you get treated the way the current mods are getting treated................would you be able to be fair to me, now that I openly disagree with you, are you sure?

Re: Moderator Election
 

Harper,

I am truly sorry you feel that you live in world where your voice doesn't count. I could not imagine existing thusly, for to do so is to admit defeat, is it not?

Anyway, I think I have fought very well the urge to combat the ridicule and baiting that has surrounded this election, especially from the folks who, obviously, did not read that big steaming post I left toward the end of page three.

Also, you state that I will get the majority, but by my own criteria, that ain't enough. To win, I must get the consent of at least 1/3 of registered Avalonians. A forty percent lead out of sixty some odd votes is not good enough.

One more thing.

I've taken my lumps here from time to time for coming across as hostile - one loving individual refers to me sometimes as the "angrycircus." I actually like that - the power to feel and express passion for things I care a great deal about. But some of the folks who have posted to this thread seem pretty angry too - and while I celebrate their impassioned spirit, I question if I am the rightful primary recipient, or just someone who got in the way. As Ozzy would say, "Lay your world on me, I can take the weight."

Anyway, vote Historycicus - a man too lazy to start or fight any war, but typically too drunk to ever concede defeat!

Re: Moderator Election
 

History, you have personally attacked me before... I dont mind you here on the fourm but I dont think that you have enough self controll to me a moderator.

Re: Moderator Election
 

And you have attacked me.

Fair enough, and now we're even.

Thanks for contributing.

Re: Moderator Election
 

Oh Historycircus,

You make me smile as a fellow willing to say it anyway in the face of whatever is slung your way.

But what are we on the forum for but to change the fact that our voices have failed to overcome the ruling forces.

People have gotten rights and votes and equality whatever subject you like because it became obvious to the ruling classes that they couldn't any longer hope to get away with it. So from to time they concede and then change the goalposts again and we go on our merry way believing that we stuck one to the man. While they have in fact been sticking it to us in a million other ways. Do you know what I mean.

Like for instance if they had realised it a while ago that to make their slaves comfortable and entertained they actually work harder we might all have had a different history but the outcome would've been the same. I am not downhearted one bit by the whole thing, I know that if each person individually sets about to change their own heart then we can't but win. But this may not look like what anyone thinks, there may not be some 'final showdown' its may just feel like the wind changed and we got some fresh air.

take it easy

Re: Moderator Election
 

No matter how entertained the slaves were, there was always the nascent resentment of reality. This resentment swelled, spread, and creshedoed with war - but slavery was defeated. I see too many people wishing to take the easy way out - to vibrate on to somewhere else - instead of fighting for what is right and good in this reality, this vibration. If it is all a test, I would think that walking out on the exam is not an option.

Thanks for your thoughts, and I meant no disrespect to you earlier.

Peace.

Re: Moderator Election
 

Slavery was defeated? Nope.

Re: Moderator Election
 

Are you a slave Orion Morris? Do your ankles chafe under the shackles of oppression?

Re: Moderator Election
 

believe me to remain peaceful is not the easy way out at all, and is in fact contrary to my nature. BUT

I won't ever fight for peace, or go to war for justice, or kill one to save thousands. I won't act like a man to get a high powered job and I don't believe that you have to be in it to win it.

I will defend the sidelines as thats a great place to observe. None taken by the way, History, am of the school of thought that debate is not arguing.

best of luck to ya !!

Re: Moderator Election
 

Well I bet we could find at least a few million people over in Asia and Africa who would beg to differ.

America also has 10% of the worlds population, and 90% of its prisoners...
These prisoners work for free and have to do what ever they are told....
They have more slaves now then they have ever had before...

And another thing... America full supports China... and countless other countries who have more than just slavery occuring...

Slavery is not gone... it has just changed into a more acceptable shape.

Here is a quote from Immortal Technique

"Our people are the product of genocide and slavery
Everything in the ghetto was how it was made to be
Designed in a process, Prison Industrial Complex
Niggaz transformed into numbers and objects
We pay the devil rent for living in hell"

Re: Moderator Election
 

As a candidate that respects sovereignty, I would say that it is the people's duty in China and Africa to rise up - not just the slaves themselves, but the communities in which it takes place. The Chinese would argue with you Orion - they see our system as the epitome of slavery. And I think that outright slavery is more noble than what we have here in the U.S. or what exists in China, because at least in an openly slave system the slaves know they are slaves, not taught to believe they are free.

I agree, we have a higher prison population than China and Russia - and eighty percent of our inmates are there for drug "crimes," not violations of personal property or civil rights. However, I've had friends in prison, and there wasn't much work getting done there. They had cable, pool tables, free internet access, free gym facilities, etc. I don't see much prison "slavin" going on outside of our high-rise office buildings, if you catch my drift.

I don't think "America" is unified enough to support anything at this juncture; but I believe you are spot on if we replace "America" with "U.S. foreign policy makers and corporate interests."

Cheers.

And vote!

Re: Moderator Election
 

Havnt you ever heard of a prison factory?

Re: Moderator Election
 

yep have to agree with orion, there are still chain gangs my friend, the first time I saw prisioners working on roadsides with guns pointed at them I nearly threw up. Then again my favourite was to have them working on a beach. You know I think that might just be the most humiliating thing I ever saw.

They is work, maybe each state is different...............

Re: Moderator Election
 

Yes, yes, the making of liscense plates and all that - we could throw in trash pickup crews too.

My point is that there is far too little of that going on in our prison system - if you kill someone, rape someone, rob them, etc., you should be worked like a dog.

My only regret is that 80% who are caught up in the system, who have no place there. But that is not the prison system's problem, it is a legislative problem. There are states doing it now - 11 state legislatures at the forefront of ending the "War on Drugs/Thought." Visit the NORML website:

http://norml.org/

And then donate a few bucks to them. They actually get people waving signs in the street, and apply pressure to the legislature.

Re: Moderator Election
 

Yes, you are right we need people waving signs in the streets and change the laws of victimless crimes...


Thank you for that link and the article

Re: Moderator Election
 

You are welcome, and thanks for voting!

Re: Moderator Election
 

wtf? .... really?

sorry, theres nothing noble about it.

Re: Moderator Election
 

On historycircus's sliding scale of nobility, 0 equalling none and 10 equaling God, I would give honest slavery a .00000002, and hidden slavery a .00000001. How about that?

You respond to an awful lot of my stuff negatively for a guy who doesn't care a lot.

Re: Moderator Election
 

lol
i was just wondering where you were coming from with that.

and just becasue i dont care if your a moderator or not, doesnt mean i dont care about other things.

I would respond the same way to someone else had they said it... even my Father. lol.

it has nothing to do with "you" or "your stuff".

if "god" said something that sounded off, I would question 'it' as well.

its not personal. lol

Peace

Re: Moderator Election
 

:mfr_omg:

Re: Moderator Election
 

lol

right.

Re: Moderator Election
 

Re: Moderator Election
 

hahahaha!!! :D niice

Fraggles were the isshhh!! lol, i used to love them..

is that...?wembley?! lol..

i forget the names of most.. gobo was one i think... haha

id love to get some fraggle mods up in this crib! lol

Re: Moderator Election
 

So I chose the "I dont care..." option, but I'm a little wary of anyone who wants to be a mod at this point. Seems like a fairly tedious job w/ very little reward.

If your in it to help this place w/ that in mind then I commend your intentions, but did you happen to read Mary Lou/Argante's warning: Potential Mod Thread?

If any of that stuff is true, then best of luck, and be careful what you wish for.

Now on to the matter at hand: Fraggle friggin Rock!
Thanks for the levity Kassandra.

Fraggle Rock immediately reminds me of my grandparents house in chicago. All of us kids couldn't wait to see grandma and grandpa, but fraggle rock on HBO sealed the deal. (Mom and dad wouldn't spring for premium cable That's so weird that they started on HBO). They were the "A" grandparents for sure.

Long live all muppets and the Henson name.

Re: Moderator Election
 

Tedious and narrowly rewarding is what I hear, but I doubt the job of "moderator" at any forum, from Avalon to recipieswap.com, is filled with much glory. Again, I would say that if my election accomplishes anything, it will be to gain support for an Avalonian picked "mod" or two. It would be nice to win the job, but I'll settle for making the point.

So vote Historycircus - hey, you could do worse, huh?
