Are you always this defensive Mblake81?
Because I do not like the title of being superior, It is a falsehood associated with ego. I have ego, much of it. I try to keep it in check as best I can. If you think this behavior is bad, you should be witness to my actual thought process. IP: Logged |

It spills over easy because I am simply typing to a computer screen.I see an idea, and It is my natural urge to find its weakest point and pick it apart. I will completely destroy an idea, If it has worth, I will rebuild it to make it work better. *better is a relative term that would only apply to my own happiness. IP: Logged |

Yes I am usually defensive.But I will seem to flip flop based on what the situation calls for in my view. I have to because of the way the "trappings" of society are built. You are generally convinced you have "this option" or "that option" and no other "option" can exist. Because it is said so. People also went into space which Im sure if you told a dark age king or pope that, you would have been burned at the stake. IP: Logged |

Also, I gotta tell you.The "blah blah blah" can be taken resentfully rather easy. Example: Randall: Hey mblake, you should really rethink that position of yours. Mblake81: Oh yea? You know blah blah blah, I think this too, blah blah blah, and a position blah blah blah, really rethinking here blah blah blah. Do you see how that is sort of crazy? And maybe you are just having fun and are a happy person, I HAVE NO WAY OF SEEING YOUR FACE TO KNOW. But if you are serious about the blah blah thing, Yes I consider you childish. Because no real adult will take that seriously. They can take it humorously sure, But never serious. IP: Logged |

mblake, you seem to be a philosophical sort needing to meander. While your insights are interesting,perhaps educational, they are not on topic and can rapidly denigrate . I am kindly asking you to steer back to the revolution rather than egos and such thank you. You are most welcome to start a topic on your philosophical meanderings !------------------ What we do for ourselves dies with us.

Mblake81, I always grant people Homo status in the beginning..or whatever status they put forth for themselves...and then see what transpires.Take acoustic, for instance. In the beginning he was Acoustic God. But then, he made so many mistakes that I had to demote him to Acoustic god. After a posting trail of psycho-babble, gaffes, drivel and nonsense, it was necessary to further demote him to acoustic god. As he continued to go downhill, he was demoted to simply acoustic which is closely related to "noise". So Mblake81, when you showed up here and made it known you considered yourself intellectually, morally and spiritually superior to those members who post here, I happily gave you the benefit of the doubt...though your posts are beginning to lack coherence and you're finding it difficult to stick to the subject...which is: What happened to the revolution.

mblake, My intention was not for you to leave. If I gave that impression, I`m sincerely sorry. What works on other forums simply doesn`t work here. Staying on topic, supporting your position on it and don`t cast a stone that can`t be taken tenfold back at you is the key. Lots of strong energy here and I wish you well! ------------------ What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world is immortal"~ - George Eliot IP: Logged |

LOL @ future_uncertain's comment.MB I generally agree with you. While jwhop generally brings up a lot of good points about things that I didn't know before I like to go beyond the democrat vs republican. To me they are both crap. At the basis we are all people with the same basic needs. If you stripped the political title off the person you would see that they pretty much want the same thing at the very base. I like to look beyond what is given to me. On the subject I am ashamed to say that I voted for Obama. He has become O'Bummer which his actions have clearly proven. I'm not sure who Louis Farrakhan is and his relationship to the U.S. but generally Muslims believe the Messiah is the Anti-Christ. Yes I know what Messiah means but I'm not going to go into the religious aspect of it now. (btw I was told this by an Imam) Whether this was his (Farrakhan) intended message or not this is how I will take because judging from the actions of the President, that is who he is (not literally, figuratively).

MeanderTo move aimlessly and idly without fixed direction. This is done in my thought process, But is linked to flow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29 The basic definition has no place in my life at this point, or can it be applied to it. (well maybe some aspects, but not a general overall view.) Idle is a part of me, I was about to say its never a part of me, even when I am trying to rest. But that is overstating matters, I am idle from time to time. IP: Logged |

1. Clear goals (expectations and rules are discernible and goals are attainable and align appropriately with one's skill set and abilities). Moreover, the challenge level and skill level should both be high.[5] 2. Concentrating, a high degree of concentration on a limited field of attention (a person engaged in the activity will have the opportunity to focus and to delve deeply into it). 3. A loss of the feeling of self-consciousness, the merging of action and awareness. 4. Distorted sense of time, one's subjective experience of time is altered. 5. Direct and immediate feedback (successes and failures in the course of the activity are apparent, so that behavior can be adjusted as needed). 6. Balance between ability level and challenge (the activity is neither too easy nor too difficult). 7. A sense of personal control over the situation or activity. 8. The activity is intrinsically rewarding, so there is an effortlessness of action. 9. A lack of awareness of bodily needs (to the extent that one can reach a point of great hunger or fatigue without realizing it) 10. Absorption into the activity, narrowing of the focus of awareness down to the activity itself, action awareness merging.Not all are needed for flow to be experienced. IP: Logged |

I am not ashamed to vote for Obama. I will vote for him again. He believes in the equality of all. He's not the perfect president. Nobody is. I understood that when I voted for him. I read about how he voted on the issues. I noticed that his voting record was not much different from Hillary Clinton's voting record. They were both strong on voting for equality matters that include homosexual rights and women's rights. They also voted strongly for affirmative action which I really don't care for. I don't want somebody to use affirmative action as excuse to be racially prejudiced or resentful towards me. I believe that nobody should be put before somebody because of race. I'd rather have Barack Obama as a president than somebody from the Republican Party. President Obama has recently shown that he is for equality for all by pulling away support for anti-same sex marriage laws. It's that type of stuff that confirms voting for him was the right thing to do. I will always vote for the Democrat before I vote for the Republican. I am a liberal, and I am not going to vote against my interests in regards to equality for all people.....and not just equality for just white people nor just for heterosexuals nor just for Christians. I vote for USA to be a multiracial,multifaith,and overall diverse country. President Barack Obama has shown tolerance for homosexual rights and women's rights.
I support socialist healthcare. I believe that it's strongly needed. Not everybody can afford good healthcare. I don't believe that we have to be forced or pay a fine.
Lets not get into the "spending too much" crap. We would have enough money to pay for healthcare and education if billions of dollars didn't go to wars that we shouldn't have been in the first place. Too much money have spent on weapons over the years. ------------------ A different mind is NOT a deficient mind.

Louis Farrakhan is a Nation of Islam leader. He's a black muslim. He believes in separatism between blacks and whites. He is highly controversial.
I don't agree with his views. As a black man born in 1933, he grew up with a lot of racism in USA. I can see how he can have negative attitudes towards USA and white Americans even though it's not right. The Nation of Islam believe in Black self reliance. They believe that black people should support each other and not rely on white people for any thing.
The Nation of Islam strived for Civil Rights. Malcolm X used to be part of the Nation of Islam, and he was a civil rights leader. Malcolm X actually trained Farrakhan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Farrakhan#Early_life_and_education Maybe USA will be much better place when everybody born before the Civil Rights Act die out.
My former stepfather was born in 1929, and so he dealt with a lot of racism too. He definitely had a lot of bitterness about race relations. He definitely influenced me to be race-conscious too. Of course, as a person who is part black, I have dealt with racism. I know how it feels to be called a "nigger", and it hurts like hell and makes me angry. Racial bigots come in all races. The thing is that the white race is the majority. If all white people were racist and all black people were racist, black people would be slaves. That's just the hard truth. Power comes with majority.
Some people believe that blacks can't be racist because they are the minority race and don't have power like whites who are the majority and have all the power. Racism is the ideology of believing that one's race is superior to another race that they think is inferior. It can also mean the hate of another because of race. I live in a predominantly black community called Oak Park here in Sacramento,California. I have to say that there are lot of people in the community that are glad that Barack Obama is president and that USA is much better off with him as president.
I voted for Barack Obama as president. If there is a democrat that is a better choice, I will vote for him/her in the primaries. If he wins the democratic nomination, I will vote for him To vote Republican would be to vote against the interests of not only blacks and other racial minorities, but also women,homosexuals,poor,middle class, and non-Christians. ------------------ A different mind is NOT a deficient mind.

I voted for Barack Obama without any illusions. I knew that he was far from perfect, but he was the much better option in regards to equality for all people. John McCain is weak on both gay and women's rights. It's logical for people to think that Barack Obama is the messiah, savior, is an agent for profound change for the better,and/or is going to solve the worlds problems to be disillusioned. I didn't think any of those things,and that's why I wasn't disillusioned. I even think that he's been more like a moderate than a liberal. I don't see how he has been far left. Maybe to the far right, he's far left to them. Extremism is bad. Rightwing extremism is bad, and so is leftwing extremism.

This is such narrow minded thinking that it disgusts me. THIS kind of thinking is what holds people back. Firstly women won the right to vote for two reasons 1) to be taxed 2) to break up families. I bet this is why black people got the right to vote as well. This just speculation I don't have proof just my own deductive reasoning. I am not saying that I am pro-slavery and that I hate black people or some stupid **** like that. I'm just saying that these wonderful things we look at in history are very darkly tainted. quote: I'll trade you O'Bomber and all the Socialist demoscats in the Congress of the United States for one, (1) person who believes in a Constitutional republican form of government, the "rule of law" and free market domestic economic policy.

"The whole world is in chess" I agree with this in its theory and parts of its practical application, However the world is alive, it grows and changes, and so does its people. Balian is wearing black, and the king is wearing white. In that clip, The christians vs the muslims, Man vs The World, Man vs Himself, Man and God, Young and Older, King and Normal Man, Skilled and Unskilled, Wise and Unwise, Sick and Healthy.
