Gee, I'm sorry the metaphoric idea of a job = responsibility and adulthood didn't broadside your skull like it should have. In short, it had nothing to do with material things, so your assumption is a blatant attempt to spin the discussion away from my original reply to you.
Congrats on that, I'm sure the Section 8 allow you to live in a real "grand" place. Wait, was that an assumption on my part? I believe it was. See what happens when you predicate a whole post on assumptions?
As do most males with a penis, but continue please.
4) I am embracing reality, it may not be yours but that is subjective.
Subjective sure, but reality is still reality, and
you live in a reality which is in bitter dispute with society, hence the nomenclature "Counter-Culture."
Moving on, you really are not in touch with young people today at all are you?
Yeah, I'm sure not being a 22 year-old college student and all. I just sit at home drinking my Geritol and trying to get more fiber in my diet.
Che Guevera is not popular at all.
Why sure he is, otherwise how to you explain all the doucebag hippies that fellate the very image of the man? He failed in life. He brought an untenable form of government to a nation in utter turmoil. Last I remember, we don't exactly praise Kim IL from North Korea, or worship Stalin, but hey you've got your heroes and I've got mine. What do you think of Pol-Pot? Obviously another great man, I mean he did the same as Che. He brought Communism to his country (all based on their fear of America during the Vietnam war) and killed most of them. Do you have any pictures of Pol-Pot on your wall, or is he not Counter-Culture enough for you?
Just because your lame-ass wandered into some Hot Topic and saw his T-shirt does not mean that it is a fad.
The fad of fellating Che was around long before the t-shirts were out. The t-shirts were simply proof that it started reaching the lower dredges of society. Intstead of mentioning him in a debate, they just "wore" his t-shirt as a way of fighting the "man" for keeping them down.
Just because I admire Che does not devaluate my entire existence.
What devalues your existence is your pretentious rhetoric, the fact that you are a dumbfvck, and the fact that you likely molest goats.
You thinking that only makes your intolerance and conformity plainly apparent.
Wow, your hypocrisy knows no bounds does it? You weren't exactly tolerant of anyone else in this thread, so don't use such a specious argument on me. Go smoke some grass with your Che loving buds, and then hold hands and cry about how no one in society tolerates your opinions. They don't tolerate it because your opinions are stupid, assface, not because they are intolerant people. I'm not exactly tolerant of small, yapping dogs, but it doesn't mean I'm intolerant of dogs as a whole. My conformity? Oh, you mean that I'm a realist? If so, well then that's a compliment, but I'm certainly not a conformist by any stretch of the imagination -- I'm a realist.
I am sorry that you do not have any form of higher education.
Hi, UAB student here checking in. School of Behavioral and Social Sciences. Where do you attend, Puxatawny Technical School for the stupendously naive?
I am sorry you cannot see 10 feet beyond yourself.
I'm not myopic if that was what you were going for. I guess you have to "dumb" down your rhetoric so that the common man won't think of you as a sell-out.
I am sorry you did not read the article in my sig, which is written by a very prestigious professor and academic figure.
Actually I did, but just because he is considered a prestigious professor and academic doesn't mean he has credibility or his opinion has anymore weight. Just because you get a so-called "prestigious professor" to polish a turd doesn't mean it still isn't a turd.
That is honestly not my problem. I am not going into a history lesson with you because unfortunately in ATOT that will turn into a living hell.
Feel free to debate me over history at any time. It would do you good to realize who your idol actually was. A person of opportunity and nothing more.
All I'm going to tell you is that if some lilly white nerd sees a McDonalds ad and thinks its black because it has some hip-hoppish music in it... that is only a very sad comment on his own social abilities.
Don't remember saying that, so why are you addressing this to me? I listen to Rap and Hip-Hop on a daily basis, but it doesn't mean I have to embrace everything the artist's do to enjoy their work.
Hip-Hop is the new it thing.
Hip-Hop has been around a lot longer than you think, partner.
It doesn't matter if you are white, black, brown or yellow.
Oh, I get it just fine. You slit your wrists every night, think listening to music defines your culture, and think that some washed up rebel was a hero. Well, I've got a bit of frontpage news for you, none of that is reality, which is the whole debate here.
If you don't get it thats too bad. Gwen Stefani, Eminem, BEP and plenty of other artists do.
LOL. Well, if they get it, then I certainly must be out of touch, eh? I mean I always see Eminem rapping about Che, and Gwen talking about how Hollaback Girl is really a tribute to Che. No, I know what you meant, that they've embraced "Hip-Hop" as a way to sell records. Well, duh. Mustic is purely evolutionary, and anything that sells records is certainly going to warrant the industry taking a step in that direction.
Things are moving on. I'm not going to be a burned out hippy douche... you may well be a burned out old white man though.
Ah yes. At 22 I've already managed to become an old man. Thanks, I think. I guess that means I've grown up and don't rely on MTV to determine my politics and my beliefs? If so, well that's great, because I'm a libertarian by nature, and communism is the complete antithesis of my beliefs.
The new America will not be as monolithic as the one you knew.
If you think the USA is monolithic, then you might be dumber than I originally thought. That's what great about this country -- it isn't monolithic in the slightest -- it is free and we are extremely diverse. I think what you advocate (communism) is actually the BEST way to assure that a society becomes entirely uniform. It was fun toying with you, but you don't even have a defensible position or a clue about life. Perhaps when you find reality and get to my level you can give me a "Hollaback." Unfortunately, I actually do like that song, but now you've forever ingrained your idiotic thoughts into my skull any time I hear it.
