I truly don't mean that as an insult to you because you should know by now that I genuinely like you as a person. And I do believe that you probably do have charisma or a type of character that has people interested in finding out more about you.<br>But I just can't make an assumption on who you are, if you are a good man or a bad man in such black or white terms from a blog. And I can't follow a revolution - people need to see you and hear you and there needs to be a platform...because as frustrating as it is, no body ever started a revolution (as far as I'm aware) by writing. They got out in the public sphere, they joined movements and protested and gave speeches and rallied. You know it. <br>I also think (I realise I'm being quite the know-it-all right now!) that many people would forgive your drug past and jail time etc if you were up front about it at the beginning - it certainly didn't make me view you any less at all, rather I felt glad for you that you stood up and shared with us. So why not join a political party or make your own up? I suspect you would be rather good at it.<br><br>Good post crushed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-75906335350904710082008-10-12T02:09:00.000-07:002008-10-12T02:09:00.000-07:00"he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!""he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-54020133820809451572008-10-12T03:59:00.000-07:002008-10-12T03:59:00.000-07:00Ms S- I don't know, one of the things I want to pu...Ms S- I don't know, one of the things I want to push is an attitude shift.<br><br>I guess part of the point of the change, is an nd to the cult of the individual.<br><br>Not just the idea of leaders and followers, but the collective social psyche that creates such conditions.<br><br>The problems with Messiahs is people worship them. they shouldn't. Jesus wasn't a God. Hitler CERTAINLY wasn't a God. One was a great philopher, the other was a twisted one.<br><br>The need to idolise people with ideas and see them as other than human, and follow them blindly without questioning is part of the problem, its part of why we have power structures.<br><br>An enlightened humanity needs to stop worshipping specific humans, and worship humanity itself as a collective godhead.<br><br>We're not over it yet- look at Blair!<br><br>Kate- I think people find me hard to figure out.<br><br>It depends what you mean by Good. I think my principles are Good ones, yes. I actually think my general actions in RL are good ones. But it would depend on your perspective.<br><br>I tend to be a person more motivated by ideals than sentiments, which people find hard to take.<br><br>I don't compromise on points of principle.<br><br>I think the point is, I do see this revolution as inevitable. It's just how it goes. I think it could get nasty, but not if people are prepared in advance, to make sure it doesn't become blooody. But the system is going to collapse anyway whether we like it or not, so we might as well start preparing for what is to come.<br><br>And this time round, let's do it right.<br><br>We don't need leaders of any kind any more, messiahs or otherwise.<br>We're clever enough now just torule ourselves by talking and agreeing solutions.<br><br>The internet isn't the way to do it, you say.<br><br>Well, my idea is exactly what we're doing now, is how we could potentially govern ourselves.<br><br>I think this has to be a masss thing, and it would be better if it were essentially leaderless, but simply a movement of the popular will. It's simply about constructively agreeing by spreading ideas and enlightening people what the popular will should be.<br><br>Well, flaws are what makes us human. Perhaps we shouldn't trust anyone in any position of trust till they've shown off their flaws. And if they have none too show, maybe they're too inhuman to be trusted.<br><br>I used to be a member of a political party years ago, and yes, I was quite good at it. :)<br><br>I don't like the idea of parties- they're vihciles for streamlining ideas into blocks.<br><br>What I want is a genuine popular movement committed to overthrowing for good all attempts to streamline the popular will, so that thought can no longer be controlled.<br><br>A simple movement based on people thinking about it and committing to the idea of their own free will.<br><br>Ms S- Something like that, yes :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-16059044369039977592008-10-12T04:24:00.000-07:002008-10-12T04:24:00.000-07:00I the worship and the follower!

I figure you do like to do that sometimes… <br><br>Or if maybe you secretly quite like the idea of being a hypnotic Svengali, with powers over pathetic girls, a guy’s fantasy surely? Isn’t trilby a sort of hat? <br><br>Now you talk about your GOVERNMENT HEALTH WARNING, or Disclaimer… “Parts that other lagers can’t reach can go down as well as up, etc.” ^_^. Oh! Not that one then?<br><br>Is this disclaimer like so you don’t feel guilty after? Like drawing the small print to someone’s attention in the ads, and hoping they ignore it? Or misinterpret it? <br><br>I figure you are in the clear if you really truly do try to make sure a girl knows where she stands, and don’t quietly sit back while she misinterprets stuff in order to keep her available. I know sometimes boys, as well as girls, just insist on seeing things as they imagine things are, or would fantasize them to be, in the face of clear evidence otherwise… and you can’t always spot that they are doing it… or stop it when they do.<br><br>If you are real unlucky they then blame you for it, turn against you and accuse you of ‘misleading’ them.<br><br>I guess I must count myself fortunate to have the filter of the internet protecting me from the full force of your Charisma… <br><br>Though on the subject. It is absolutely true that technical good looks don’t count for nearly as much as we often imagine they do. I have known Guys... and girls who were nothing special to look at, average, in one case not even that, but boy do the opposite sex flock to them. More due to self confidence, intelligence, the way they move, personality, than their looks.<br><br>I am with Sparsely Kate on the second bit. I’ll leave the political side of the post to another day, but “new order”?, “end of the “capitalist epoch”?

The Tories after all, embraced a word meant as an insult.<br><br>It's not actually ALWAYS a good thing, in reality. And it's not as if it's like a snake charming act, just they're assets that work and prove very useful in sales. I don't think it works more over women than men, as such.<br>I think it's just they're basic tools we use, we certainly use them on dogs and I've always used ben good with dogs.<br><br>I actually think it's more that most other people DON'T properly use them.<br><br>Well, what you say about my disclaimer is what my best mate says about it. But it's hard to cover yourself completely, and really, you have to at least try to.<br><br>I think I'm not good at letting people dowm, I'll admit that. I have copped blame in the past for 'leading people on', when that hasn't been the case.<br><br>I really don't think you'd be in any danger.:)<br><br>Intelligence is a wonderful thing.<br><br>Yes, definitely. And for blokes too. I think looks matter, because looks initially attract, but as long as the looks can hold your attention for enough time for more to shine through, that's all that matters.<br>Whereas total aesthetic perfection is useless if the person behind it shows themselves up within an hour or so to be totally lacking in personable characteristics.<br><br>Well, there will always be posts on that subject...<br><br>But no, the day is coming.

And the more flaws in your fabric often times means the more you have come through and come to understand about the world or yourself. There is nothing bad about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
