Nature is insensate in its profusion, and oblivion absolute in dominion, and if benevolence is not the contrivance of men, it nevertheless remains neither the establishment, let alone commandment, of some imagined supernal.
And so, knowing the wasteful profligacy of life's production, there can be no expectation of the satisfaction even of our merest needs, much less the achievement of any measure of our desires....

I see how it is, Zarth. I'll just have to join forces with MadBax and resurrect Uptight...You'll be hearing from my LAWYER! (I'm not trying to be a jerk to that kid, but...nevermind, I'll save this for the appropriate thread.)

Finally got around to seeing Borat last night. There were definitely some squirmy parts, when he seemed to be totally fucking with people who didn't in any way deserve it, and there were some other squirmy parts, when people who did deserve it cut loose an acted like themselves (I'm thinking particularly, of course, of the old rodeo guy and the frat boys).

I'm figuring we'll all be human only when there's an external enemy.

Ah, damn; of course you're right. I'd forgotten Ozymandias.

Natural world, well, natural world doesn't care, at least now all the big predators are gone. It has to be deliberate to be an enemy.
Corollary from this discussion:

Especially considering I am not a communist. But I guess he can't let little things like details get in the way of his point.

You are slutty and braggadocios. And I envy that deeply.
Twice in one day. Yay.
Looks like I'll be without a computer for an unknown quantity of time, starting tonight. This one's going into the shop, because it's "flaky." I'll try to drop in and all that jazz. And I'll let you know if I die or anything.

Being serious isn't so bad really. I like that about you. Really. 
I suppose that you could prove your detractors wrong by posting something humorous on the Silliness board. Then, when members accuse you of being humorless, simply post a link to your humor and tell them to shove it!

I find drunken sex overrated anyway.
