Hugues, your remarks in this thread are unfunny and, frankly, offensive. No more trolling, thanks.

No.

That's obviously what you want, so no.

Instead, I personally recommend a few days of contemplation here, before returning in a more composed and mature manner. Evil or Very Mad

Hughes_bc, I used the V-Chip against myself, and now I can lead a more productive life without violent, racist, or offensive thoughts of any kind. I'm totally serious. You should try it- having individual thoughts will not get you anywhere. A trip to Disney Land would also help you achieve zen master status (although some of those Disney movies could use a V-Chip or two). Of course, racism in any form, even your "Jamacians" joke, will get you eaten alive among just about any group of people, with good cause. Jamacians are right on- we all know this. Come on now. Instead of nagging about this, this brings me to something more interesting! (Switch V-Chip to Off position) You can say whatever you want about "Americans" (which annoys me greatly), but your comment about "Jamacians" riles everyone's attention. This must be because we think everyone in Jamacia is black... is that ignorant in itself? Are the offended the offenders? Do Americans not have the right to be offended by anti-American commentary because we are of every ethnicity? Is the world taking away the right to identity and national pride by the lack of a definate racial majority? I invite anyone to justify all the America sucks this-and-that which goes un-checked without question. American is a basically a race, by the way. If you ask many American children what ethnicity or nationality they are, they will say "I'm American" and basically laugh at you. Not like, "Oh, i'm part this and that, blah blah blah..." No. A good 25% of kids will say "I don't know, I'm American" and mean it, not caring the slightest of thier anscestor's countries of origin. Just because American isn't considered a nationality quite yet, does not mean that we don't exist, and doesn't mean that we don't get pissed off just like everyone else. I mean, we all know that Americans are immune to offensive comments because we have super powers- this is all just a matter of principle. I get along perfectly fine with people who think completely different than me in every way. Freedom of speech does not exist in democracy- you have to give it up. If enough people don't like what you say, they can simply "vote you out"- excommunicate you from the church of the unified moral opinion- just like if you say something too "soft" among ruffians, you're a "wussy"- it's the very idea of ballance. As for speaking your mind pretty much anywhere, forget about it. Everything must be rounded off on the edges so you don't offend anyone. Among artists/ musicians in particular (this site), even the most jokingly violent or mildly racist comment is grounds for people to "freak-a-deek" out on you, whether you're in the wrong or not.

lol destroyifyer Smile

Ideas exist whether we choose to block them with a V-Chip or not. It doesn't change what's true - just our own level of ignorance.

I told the V-Chip to eliminate all coverage of MJ's death. Now all the channels are blank.

Just kidding, I have no V-Chip to program...

Rather than hide from these things, I find it refreshing to 'gaze into the abyss' now and then. It is a sobering experience between learning electronics and reading too much Dunsany.

TV, occasionally, can provide perspective. Or at least help you find it...

Ain't that somethin'? There are a number of YT videos dedicated to his art. Some of it you just can't imagine as being 2D.

I'd love to be an American right now. Land of opportunity. Did anyone see the front cover of the latest edition of Private Eye mag (can't get an image on Google- sorry, but here's a link)?

It seems to sum the whole British situation up! Crying or Very sad

I think you may be suffering from some severely distorted 'grass is greener' problems there, v-un-v.

Look on youtube for some Fox News clips and you may reassess Wink
