emphasis on BOTH sides

oh yeah hirst too. all three of em, gehry koons hirst. it's not like their stuff has nothing to it, but what it has got is buried beneath this massive ego. I think koons believes if he act confident enough about what he's doing people will think he's the next warhol and that's irritating. like I dunno, none of them are ready to say "honestly this is shit. why do you like this" which I think would be huge. not gehry though no words can save him

I wasn't sure, murakami could be anyone and I never heard of the novelist. when I first read kaworu's post I was thinking glen murakami because he has posted things about teen titans in the past but then I also remembered he posted that cum lasso sculpture a while back

edit I wonder if a kathy lee gifford joke is still in bad taste in this context

edit: from my last post, by "this is shit" I don't mean to give off an andy rooney of modern art I just mean similar to what warhol said about his stuff. none of these guys are a warhol or even a haring. and it's not like warhol is untouchable in anything besides his place in history either

It's pretty sickening to see both sides trying to gain political points by blaming the other.
Guess there's idiots on both sides of the political fence.

ahaha I like how nobody replied to my post about the computer virus thing. I might have been in some manic state or something at the time because I've got a sore throat now and am probably sick with something. I'm still offended nobody said anything either way

I still guarantee you guys what I said or something similar will be the critical mass/natural conclusion of internet pranks. Can someone at least tell me if something like that would be possible (many people get infected with a virus/spyware and it replaces one word for another like a sort of semi-censorship. Imagine a newspaper company couldn't print because the words would come out that way when it was printed out/ have to be crossed out by hand by some random dude (and everyone would know why it was crossed out anyway the same way all censorship is pointless everybody knows what a nipple looks like too (Boards of Canada - A Nipple in your Mind)) )

also in context I first thought of the virus post because I was reading about how they were censoring Huckleberry Finn now

also the shooting is awful but yeah I thought of political stuff defensively like 'I wonder if they will somehow find a way to blame Obama'

Yeah but there are distinct undertones of violence in certain groups. Judging from what we know about him (claimed his college was "unconstitutional", compared abortion to terrorism, preached to his Youtube viewers that they should reject federalist laws, talked to others about how he was "anti-government" and how the US should return to the gold-silver standard) it would seem to me that he's in the right/libertarian corner of the spectrum. (Yeah, he did list the Communist Manifesto as one of his favorite books, as pointed out by Glenn Beck, but he also had Mein Kampf, an Ayn Rand book and Gulliver's Travels in there. So I'm not sure how much that means.) Libertarians tend to be rather fond of their right to keep and bear arms; one of their core issues and nothing short of a litmus test to be in absolute support of it. Now I'm not saying that every libertarian is a gun toting nut, but it wouldn't surprise me if this guy was turned on by the right wing's constant innuendo of violence.

And yeah, using something like this for political gain is horrible. Using it for political action, on the other hand, is exactly what should be done. This has put issues of gun control back on the table and that's for the best.

"pretty" sure isn't good enough to change gwwiki, but you can go ahead and mark that section as disputed

I'm not saying that every libertarian is a gun toting nut
yeah they've got a choice between being a gun toting nut, racist, psycho, or someone who doesn't really understand libertarianism

I dunno why anyone would discuss his political affiliations tho. it's uh pretty obvious he wasn't working on behalf of any political party and that's even if you don't realize he's nuts

also lots of people would use this to argue against gun control. if gifford would have been surrounded by citizens carrying guns, this never could have happened ugh

I never get top of the page when I want it

um I don't get currency anyway, has currency really mattered since like medieval times. Ugh please don't think I'm stupid like if we made so many dollars last year didn't we also make so much YEN etc. I know we print dollars but what if we just decided we'd spend yen I don't know weren't we still so rich last year and so rich this year. Is there really any point besides if we decided to print a lot of yen and it counted as legal tender that would fuck up Japan's shit/vice versa. Would it even fuck up anyone's shit

I'm not trying to be ron paul either I just do not understand currency if it just is a REPRESENTATION of richness. If a person has no stuff in the first place (this guy) or a country was just this empty place with no stuff and no natural resources somehow. Well ok if somebody counterfeits money does it fuck up the country's shit because there is so much FAKE false money/false representation of worth and makes our money worth less/promises more stuff than it can make good on

yen/dollar are just names and styles of currency. like I think we could print yen but 1 US yen would still equal 1 US dollar so boring I can't continue

I immediately thought of this guy when I watched the shooter's videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-k14XE3cyw&feature=related it's one of the videos of some youtuber that climbtree uploaded during the gmj crisis

well I thought maybe currency still mattered now when one country loans/borrows money/has counterfeiters but I'm having trouble thinking why else it would benefit by unique money other than advertisement/hey we have a country. And why WORLD CURRENCY would change anything either other than piss off alex jones people. And why the Euro fucked up people's shit other than being a hassle to change the monetary system/print euros instead of roboobles

could we decide to value one country's money less because of test scores/consider that less money-making potential on behalf of a country. Like rest of the world decides hey America your money is going to suck in 20 years the way your education system is going so we're going to give you less yens for it

Edit: I hereby change the official U.S. currency to oak leaves

Edit: um I don't believe like 'if we made money easier to understand this never would have happened' he's just some crazy asshole would've blamed it on his dog or something then

if there were a global currency there'd be very little incentive to import/export a lot of items. it'd also be way more obvious how much we rip off some countries

This is actually a very important matter because the question is whether people, crazy or not, can be sufficiently influenced by right wing vitriol to decide to perform such an act. If he were, say, a communist, then that discussion would have been irrelevant. "Crazy" does not preclude anything.

yeah, I think it does. if you're in a position to go out and murder random people, it could be anything or nothing that sets you off. this is similar to "did video games make him kill people? or was it violent television. did this guy kill his gf because he was a gothic anarchist?" like he may have heard some dumb right-wing radio host saying angry stuff about giffords, and that's what lead him to this particular act, but it's inaccurate to conclude that it was the dumb radio host that made him go out and kill people. it's moot I think, especially since he also had books like mein kampf and the communist manifesto in his favorites

it would be relevant if it's uncovered some radio host was actually calling for giffords head or something nearly as extreme a while back, but then I think the right-wing connection is less important to the killer than it is to the radio guy being an awful person and terrible host and I think we already knew that
