Pharoah Ashseti (7:05:00 PM): This.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:05:01 PM): THIS.
tor3e (7:06:41 PM): uh
tor3e (7:06:42 PM): that's old dude
tor3e (7:06:46 PM): theyve been doing that since like
tor3e (7:06:47 PM): ... forever
Pharoah Ashseti (7:06:51 PM): I know.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:06:54 PM): That's my fucking point.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:07:03 PM): and it's not an excuse
tor3e (7:07:56 PM): ... then what's your point?
Pharoah Ashseti (7:10:18 PM): This is why the planet looks at Africa as a bunch of dirty backwards ass savages.
tor3e (7:32:37 PM): well
tor3e (7:32:45 PM): that and they can't get any of their countries to not be totally fucked
tor3e (7:32:51 PM): but that has a lot to do with external pressures as well
Pharoah Ashseti (7:32:57 PM): No
Pharoah Ashseti (7:33:00 PM): fuck that noise.
tor3e (7:33:03 PM): no
tor3e (7:33:04 PM): seriously
tor3e (7:33:05 PM): think about it
tor3e (7:33:07 PM): how the FUCK
tor3e (7:33:10 PM): do you make money as a farmer
tor3e (7:33:17 PM): if half your fucking food is free from other governments
Pharoah Ashseti (7:33:17 PM): Yes, people have been taking advantage of Africa since.. well.... damnnear forever.
tor3e (7:33:20 PM): or subsidized?
tor3e (7:33:36 PM): what the fuck is the point of doing anything else
Pharoah Ashseti (7:33:44 PM): But in the article itself, one aftrican knows how stupid and crazy it is, whichmeans they all can, and should.
tor3e (7:33:50 PM): when you can go up in the hills and mine diamonds and kill fucks for em and make more money in a few days than you ever could in a lifetime at home
tor3e (7:34:05 PM): there are some motherfucking brilliant people in africa
Pharoah Ashseti (7:34:07 PM): And I'm not talking about farming, I'm talking about kidnapping and murder justified my magic.
tor3e (7:34:09 PM): there's the kid that makes windmills
Pharoah Ashseti (7:34:12 PM): I have no doubt.
tor3e (7:34:14 PM): electric windmills
tor3e (7:34:20 PM): and they brought him up to europe to talk about it
Pharoah Ashseti (7:34:20 PM): I am aware of many of them.
tor3e (7:34:28 PM): and he went nuts in the library getting all the info he could on windfarms
Pharoah Ashseti (7:34:41 PM): I saw a couple of his interviews on tv.
tor3e (7:34:44 PM): yea
tor3e (7:34:50 PM): smart and ingenious kid
Pharoah Ashseti (7:34:59 PM): I am not saying every single person on the continent is a dirtshit excuse for a human being.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:35:05 PM): But seriously.
tor3e (7:35:12 PM): there's a lot of dumb shit that goes on
Pharoah Ashseti (7:35:20 PM): It isnt even that.
tor3e (7:35:22 PM): without an educated middle class to be calling bullshit on the upper class
Pharoah Ashseti (7:35:26 PM): Lots of dumb shit goes on here too.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:35:32 PM): THATS the bullshit.
tor3e (7:35:32 PM): checks and balances
Pharoah Ashseti (7:35:58 PM): Where did the guy come from in the article who is ashamed to be from teh same stock as these crazy people/
Pharoah Ashseti (7:36:00 PM): ?*
Pharoah Ashseti (7:36:27 PM): How did the message of education and intellegence reach him, and not enough of a couple of countries, where there are ALBINO HUNTERS.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:36:42 PM): People who make their living, openly, hunting and killing people, TO MAKE MAGIC OUT OF THEM.
tor3e (7:36:43 PM): look
tor3e (7:36:46 PM): there is stupid shit all over
Pharoah Ashseti (7:36:52 PM): I just said that.
tor3e (7:36:55 PM): people killed the fuck out of tigers to get their penis powder
tor3e (7:36:59 PM): it's just
tor3e (7:37:06 PM): these witchdoctors really kicked it up a notch
Pharoah Ashseti (7:37:08 PM): But it we, as a country, found out mexicans were eating their children, we'd stomp that shit out.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:37:37 PM): If we knew canadians, as a society, were sleeping with shildren, we'd annex the shit out of them if we had to.
tor3e (7:37:44 PM): we'd probably be rounding them up and ... doing things reminiscent of an age that should stay in the past
tor3e (7:37:52 PM): and I assure you it would be no less ignorant than the act of eating one's child
Pharoah Ashseti (7:37:54 PM): WE, as their neighbors, and by extension, relatives, would make them cut that shit out.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:38:14 PM): I agree with you whole heartedly. We've done worse, for less.
tor3e (7:38:18 PM): I think you're confusing napolean's view of spain with our view of canada...
Pharoah Ashseti (7:38:32 PM): I am trying (unsuccesfully) to make a point.
tor3e (7:38:42 PM): I mean
Pharoah Ashseti (7:38:42 PM): People keep saying two things.
tor3e (7:38:45 PM): we've invaded for less...
tor3e (7:38:46 PM): but
tor3e (7:38:47 PM): personally
tor3e (7:38:51 PM): if they fuck childreN? good for them...
Pharoah Ashseti (7:38:55 PM): 1: Africa isn't a backwards shitstain on the face of the planet
tor3e (7:38:55 PM): not worth getting people killed over
Pharoah Ashseti (7:39:09 PM): and 2: We shouldn't be so harsh and quick to judge them and their ways.
tor3e (7:39:30 PM): There are parts of africa that are fine
tor3e (7:39:35 PM): there are parts that are cmplete shitholes
tor3e (7:39:40 PM): but you can say that about every country in the world
Pharoah Ashseti (7:39:42 PM): And I am saying, when the african kid asks me why I look at him all fuckd up, it's because he's from the continent, where people, in 2009, are killing people for their magicks.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:40:08 PM): The difference is, that in our complete shitholes, people call them the fuck out on it, and the shit gets stomped out.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:40:15 PM): I live in NEw Jersey
Pharoah Ashseti (7:40:44 PM): If I found out pennsylvania, as a state society, condoned the eating of babies, I'd not say "hey, to each their own", Action would be taken.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:41:05 PM): I wouldn't make excuses for them, because those hypothetical assholes are making me look like an asshole, by proxy
tor3e (7:41:09 PM): you gonna light cribs on fire in front of people's houses ashton?
Pharoah Ashseti (7:41:22 PM): Uh... what?
Pharoah Ashseti (7:41:29 PM): ?.?
Pharoah Ashseti (7:41:33 PM): Lost me.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:41:36 PM): Completely.
tor3e (7:41:39 PM): I really fail to see exactly what you'd do besides just being a complete nuissance
tor3e (7:41:42 PM): you'd have to organize
tor3e (7:41:45 PM): a large population
tor3e (7:41:46 PM): to outdo
tor3e (7:41:58 PM): the large population of pennsylvannia that decided it was cool to eat babies
tor3e (7:42:00 PM): I mean
tor3e (7:42:01 PM): ideally
tor3e (7:42:08 PM): they'd take that to the supreme court
Pharoah Ashseti (7:42:10 PM): Actually, if the history of this country is any indication, there is a large possiblity of mob violence and vigilantism.
tor3e (7:42:13 PM): and it would be thrown out at the federal level
Pharoah Ashseti (7:42:18 PM): No.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:42:21 PM): No it wouldn't.
tor3e (7:42:25 PM): I'm sure Penn would be fucked internally anyway
Pharoah Ashseti (7:42:27 PM): Because murder is illegal, country wide.
tor3e (7:42:28 PM): eating babies?
tor3e (7:42:28 PM): yes
tor3e (7:42:42 PM): well
tor3e (7:42:48 PM): I'm sure the politicians could put some shit in
Pharoah Ashseti (7:42:54 PM): And when a state gets uppity and wants to fucking do something ridiculous, for the most part, they get slapped down.
tor3e (7:42:55 PM): about the babies not being human beings till they're one or some shit
tor3e (7:42:57 PM): to get around that
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:01 PM): No.
tor3e (7:43:03 PM): (good luck getting that past the religious folk)
tor3e (7:43:04 PM): but still
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:05 PM): No they can't
tor3e (7:43:07 PM): hypothetically
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:10 PM): Listen to what you're saying
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:13 PM): Jesus christ
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:19 PM): I can't stop laughing
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:20 PM): Hold on
tor3e (7:43:22 PM): dude
tor3e (7:43:24 PM): you said what if
tor3e (7:43:29 PM): I'm just filling in the possibility
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:31 PM): Ok.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:32 PM): So.
tor3e (7:43:34 PM): if you wanna go down this rabbit hole
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:34 PM): We have cults.
tor3e (7:43:36 PM): we go down the rabbit hole
tor3e (7:43:44 PM): you ahve a cult
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:50 PM): Fine.
tor3e (7:43:51 PM): that comprises 55% of the penn. population
Pharoah Ashseti (7:43:52 PM): I have a cult.
tor3e (7:43:56 PM): they decide they want to legally eat babies
Pharoah Ashseti (7:44:00 PM): Yes.
tor3e (7:44:01 PM): they get their shit together
tor3e (7:44:07 PM): start getting people in the state senate
tor3e (7:44:09 PM): get some laws passed
tor3e (7:44:11 PM): starts off small
tor3e (7:44:12 PM): like
Pharoah Ashseti (7:44:13 PM): No.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:44:14 PM): No.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:44:15 PM): no.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:44:24 PM): Eating babies. Way too extreme.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:44:40 PM): Someone, at some point, would stand up and say "Wait a goddamn second, I'e seen this movie before.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:44:41 PM): "
tor3e (7:44:50 PM): We;;
tor3e (7:44:52 PM): see
tor3e (7:44:53 PM): that's why7
tor3e (7:44:55 PM): it'd be gradual
tor3e (7:44:59 PM): the gradual slide into insanity
tor3e (7:45:01 PM): is quite easy
tor3e (7:45:05 PM): I mean seriously
tor3e (7:45:09 PM): look how close we were
tor3e (7:45:10 PM): as a coutry
tor3e (7:45:24 PM): to just completely imposing all of our civil protections and liberties on the threat of terrorism
Pharoah Ashseti (7:48:11 PM): This is different, because its backwards.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:48:31 PM): We were, as a country, a bunch of fucking insane people, and in many ways, still are.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:48:45 PM): But we are, at least, trying to climb out of it.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:49:02 PM): WE have holistic practitioners in this country.
tor3e (7:49:03 PM): we got scared
tor3e (7:49:05 PM): and acted retarded
Pharoah Ashseti (7:49:09 PM): They aren't buying DEAD ALBINOS
tor3e (7:49:32 PM): no
Pharoah Ashseti (7:49:33 PM): They still kill witches in Africa, man.
tor3e (7:49:39 PM): but we buy enough military equipment to fight the entire world and win
Pharoah Ashseti (7:49:46 PM): They are still afraid thet there are people out there who can steal your penis.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:50:02 PM): Are those guns firing bullets carved from the bones of dead albinos?
tor3e (7:50:08 PM): uhm
tor3e (7:50:15 PM): we used depleted uranium all over the middle east...
Pharoah Ashseti (7:50:29 PM): Which we killed people for, and dug out of their carcasses?
Pharoah Ashseti (7:51:36 PM): I am talking about the belief systems that fuel the madness.
tor3e (7:51:53 PM): I'm trying to think of a counter example
tor3e (7:51:54 PM): in our culture
Pharoah Ashseti (7:51:55 PM): Depleted uranium is bad. Why? Because we can prove, EMPIRICALLY, that it is bad for you.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:52:00 PM): I'll wait.
tor3e (7:52:00 PM): oh
tor3e (7:52:01 PM): OH
tor3e (7:52:02 PM): OH
Pharoah Ashseti (7:52:07 PM): GO GO GO
tor3e (7:52:11 PM): Our finacial market
tor3e (7:52:15 PM): because
tor3e (7:52:19 PM): "housing prices never go down"
tor3e (7:52:24 PM): is totally empiracal
tor3e (7:52:33 PM): "too big to fail"
Pharoah Ashseti (7:52:36 PM): Tor.
tor3e (7:52:39 PM): come on
tor3e (7:52:41 PM): it's not as bad
tor3e (7:52:43 PM): but similar
Pharoah Ashseti (7:52:45 PM): The people in charge of the financial market....
tor3e (7:52:55 PM): I mean they feign ignorance
tor3e (7:52:56 PM): but...
Pharoah Ashseti (7:52:56 PM): ......were not killing people... and divining the future with their organs.
tor3e (7:52:59 PM): somehow I doubt they were
tor3e (7:53:02 PM): OH THEY KILLED PEOPLE
tor3e (7:53:07 PM): there was a TON of suicides
Pharoah Ashseti (7:53:12 PM): Ok, fine, but not for resources!
Pharoah Ashseti (7:53:16 PM): Oh, dirty chess.
tor3e (7:53:17 PM): but didn't they
tor3e (7:53:18 PM): !
Pharoah Ashseti (7:53:19 PM): Diiiiirty chess.
tor3e (7:53:20 PM): CHECK AND MATE
tor3e (7:53:28 PM): it's not as direct
tor3e (7:53:30 PM): I'll give you that
tor3e (7:53:32 PM): but so damn similar
Pharoah Ashseti (7:53:37 PM): No it isn't.
tor3e (7:53:37 PM): just without the blood on the hands
Pharoah Ashseti (7:53:51 PM): No, I don't care about blood on the hands.
Pharoah Ashseti (7:54:43 PM): I care about them being, not singularly, not as a cult, but as various governments, full of people who still, no exaggeration, will kill you if they think your blood will make them more beautiful, or your ear as a necklace will allow them to read minds.
tor3e (8:03:56 PM): hm
tor3e (8:03:57 PM): true
tor3e (8:04:02 PM): I donno
tor3e (8:04:07 PM): bet if you did it with an infomercial
tor3e (8:04:11 PM): you could get people to kill eachother
Pharoah Ashseti (8:04:32 PM): I'm not saying it's difficult.
Pharoah Ashseti (8:04:44 PM): I'm saying that it's backwards.
Pharoah Ashseti (8:04:47 PM): What's certain is that buyers -- most of whom are believed to be Tanzanian -- are willing to pay a high price for these horrific charms. Police have reported albino limbs being sold by witch doctors for $200, while a full "albino kit" -- consisting of limbs, nose, tongue, ears and genitals – costs $75,000.
Pharoah Ashseti (8:05:08 PM): That...... probably happens somewhere in this country.
Pharoah Ashseti (8:05:15 PM): It is not state sanctioned.
tor3e (8:05:23 PM): well
tor3e (8:05:24 PM): it isn't there
tor3e (8:05:25 PM): either
tor3e (8:05:25 PM): :/
Pharoah Ashseti (8:06:10 PM): Yes, it is. When you can hand out businesscards reading "Albino Hunter", it might as well fucking be.
Pharoah Ashseti (8:06:31 PM): It's sayiong landowners and business owners are buying to fuel their good luck and prosperity.
Pharoah Ashseti (8:06:44 PM): Those aren't people sneaking into dark allies to score a hit with a shady character.
Pharoah Ashseti (8:06:54 PM): Those are "respectable individuals".
Pharoah Ashseti (8:07:20 PM): Under pressure from campaigners at home and abroad, the Tanzanian government has started to crack down on the grim trade. In January, it revoked all traditional healers' operating licenses. (Many, however, flouted the ban and continued to trade.) In the spring, President Jakaya Kikwete ordered all adults to fill out a form and name anyone who they suspected of killing an albino. The courts have also been getting tough: So far this year, seven people have been handed the death penalty for taking part in albino murders.
Pharoah Ashseti (8:08:14 PM): However, it's likely that the region's albinos will only feel truly safe when their black-skinned neighbors regard them as ordinary people and not supernatural beings. "What's needed is education," says Engstrand-Neacsu. "We need to make people understand what albinism really is. Ignorance is the origin of discrimination. And ignorance has ultimately led to these crimes."
tor3e (8:09:08 PM): yes
tor3e (8:09:10 PM): that works out great

Myspace, LJ, Cracked, comics, then whatever else I actually need to get done.

Ok, so, it's kinda hypocritica, but I do not love the "look what I found!" my lj seems to have become. That said, my last "LWIF!"

https://www.cstringdirect.com/

I am extremely interested in what the ladies think.

...I'll be on http://www.todaysreasontodrink.org/

In 1831, artist and admitted Swissman Rodolphe Topffer began publishing his privately drawn, humorous "picture-stories." These raucous tales of a lout cavorting about in a most unseemly manner did engage the attention of the greater part of the publick, whereby gentlemen were perceived in our very streets to emulate the practises of Topffer's fiction rakes, frolicking hither and yon, carrying about, making to-dos and upon occasion, when driven to ill-behaviour by the drink, speaking openly about country matters in the presence of ladies! This most dreadful fright led to a number of faintings across't the land, and comics were driven underground yet again.



This is the best written paragraph I've read in a while.

ou: I would so be there for Hedonism.
ou: Going through LJ.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:48:49 PM): I'm thinking of including an orgy clause, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't be redundant by that point
Pharoah Ashseti (10:48:59 PM): I mean, we're already at Hedonism
ou: Hehe
ou: I'd never get John to go, and I wouldn't go to a place like that without him though.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:49:50 PM): What?
Pharoah Ashseti (10:49:51 PM): Why not?
ou: I've wanted to go there since I was 15 when I first found out about it.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:50:00 PM): Why wouldn't he go, I mean, not why wouldn't you go alone?
ou: He's vanilla when it comes to that stuff. Did all his perverse stuff and his drug stuff when he was younger. Now he's trying to have a career and a life as an adult.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:51:07 PM): BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo
Pharoah Ashseti (10:51:19 PM): That's mind blowingly dumtarded.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:51:30 PM): You do what you do when you're young, because you have no idea what you're doing.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:51:51 PM): You level up, gain experience, and here's the important bit, you focus your skill points!
Pharoah Ashseti (10:52:09 PM): I like drugs, fine, but when I get older, I will have a list of very specific ridiculousness to do
ou: It's one of the things that make our relationship hard sometimes. I'm younger and still into that stuff. He's past it. He doesn't stop me, I just don't want to do it without him for some of that stuff.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:52:14 PM): That's called Epic Level.
ou: Sure, I get that.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:52:40 PM): Thats tragic, he's going to take you down with him, and not in teh fun way!
ou: No, I'm going to get him up.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:53:14 PM): Not sure how to respond to that.
ou: Once the vanilla stuff is boring to me, I'm going to push more. I've been pushing a lot lately and we're definitely getting into more things.
ou: Yeah, I realized that sounded dirty. :P
Pharoah Ashseti (10:53:25 PM): Oh, cool then.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:53:35 PM): I Was going to say THAT WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR!
Pharoah Ashseti (10:53:39 PM): ....but then I stopped myself.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:53:56 PM): By thinking before I spoke, or as I like to call it, pulling an anti-Lou
ou: Hehe.
ou: WWLD? Then do the opposite.
Pharoah Ashseti (10:54:29 PM): Please, for the love of god post this on LJ
Pharoah Ashseti (10:54:33 PM): No, NO, I'll do it.

...but what are you jokers doin for the holiday?

We kicked through the slithering things and stomped up after the dog, just as the stairwell door banged shut on its own. I reached for the knob.

At the same moment it began to melt and transform, turning pink and finally taking the shape of a flaccid penis. It flopped softly against the door, like a man was cramming it through the knob hole from the other side.

I turned back to John and said, "That door cannot be opened."
