Part of Society? - For Akzle

[007XX]

your avatar turns me on. I'm just saying.

So does yours for me... All mysterious and stuff


You wouldn't be trying to send this thread to pink hell by going off topic, now would you?

Nah mate, I'm like Mr Akzle. I AM NOT PART OF YOUR SOCIETY I PARTICIPATE ON MY OWN TERMS BECAUSE I AM A RUGGED INDIVIDUALIST AND I SPOUT TRITE POLITICAL NONSENSE WITHOUT THE INTELLECTUAL OR EDUCATIONAL CAPACITY TO CRITICALLY ANALYSE THEM OR COMPARE THEM WITH OTHER SYSTEMS OR INDEED TO APPRECIATE THE SILLY CONTRADICTIONS THAT ARE APPARENT IF YOU SPEND MORE THAN FIVE SECONDS THINKING ABOUT THEM, man.
.

but that is a valid differentiation of NZ society so not only are you part of it but you are also a prime example of the individuals that make it up. Just don't take that to mean a good or worthy example.

No disrespect, but fact is, we all know that an individual who lives in a country and believes him/herself outside the law and out of all society's parameters is just deluding him/herself.

Is it worth your time and brain power to try to reason with a delusional individual?


Just saying, however much I enjoy the way you present your viewpoints

Thank you.

Yes, I'm a bit of a political animal and such discussions amuse me .. so it's largely a self-amusement thing (just don't tell Akxle that)

Plus I like STAR TREK. A lot. and there is insufficient of it here and if I can hijack this thread for lulz I will because thats the sort of guy I am, man.

My Gawd .. I'll bet you're the geek who can quote large sections of dialogue fronm almost all episodes of Star Trek !!!

I'll bet you can even tell me the episode that Kirk said "Beam me up Scotty". ...

It will be amusing if he can. Hope he also provides the youtube clip to prove it.

Hmmm... Dscussions and debating, I am all for. However in this instance, I predict the opposing argument might leave you a tad dissatisfied. Something along the lines of having been weighed, measured and still found wanting iykwim.

But whatever amuses you dear. It is, after all, still a free country

Praxis is a good marxist idea . the interface of theory and action ... action informs theory,informs action, imforms theory - an ongoing progression ...

Theory without action is sterile .. action without theory is futile ... Praxis is everything ...

Akzle is acting from theory only - a sterile and bullshit course ..

IAncient Greek, praxis referred to activity engaged in by free men. Aristotle held that there were three basic activities of man: theoria, poiesis and praxis. That said it is still an apt description

See how that is done? Cut and paste from wikipedia...... then colour it all green and try and sell it as an original and personal tought...

From memory (no google) that line never appeared in Star Trek canon. the closest was "Beam us up" IIRC.

My Star Trek geek nerd days are a long time ago. Well last week. Thats a long time if you have a memory span of a goldfish.

this beats drafting commercial leases I must say.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Fuck yeah!

Wikipedia agrees.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_me_up,_Scotty

My favourite Star Trek thing is in teh pilot episode "The Cage": Talos IV and all that. in one of the scenes there is a grave with Kirk's headstone: "James R Kirk". Not a mistake, they hadnt worked out his full name when they shot it, also they did the pilot and it wasn't picked up so they ditched a lot of sets and whatnot, then they got a second pilot which was picked up. So they had to recreate the sets, they also amended the costumes (look carefully at the uniforms: no black collars) Spock's makeup was different as were his eyebrows, and some big stuff like the rail round the bridge in the pilot is either red or black but in TOS it is black or red. I can't remember offhand which way round it is and its been a while since I've seen it. That episode (technically two episodes) is my favourite. Plus its got Christopher Pike in it.

My least favourite is "Spock's Brain" which is just silly.

Thanks for asking. What? you didnt ask?

Theory without action is sterile .. resistance is futile ... the borg is everything ...

Fixed that for you.

I would says the closest was "Scotty, beam me up" ST4
